you know? When I get reviews I start going into a typing frenzy without going to paper first? It's so weird...

oh and I'm from Australia right? Well it is legal for us to drink at the age 18 & over. And I finished school in the same year as I turned 18.

Sooo... that is what is going to happen with Mai... the Australian way haha : )

Ok after this chapter i'm starting the case and what I have in mind there are going to be a lot of chapters coming up... ;P

Chapter 4!!

haven't written chapter 5. (waiting for the typing frenzy... :)hehe...)


Chapter 4

"Another Surprise!!!"

"Um Iryuka, what did happen last night? Its all a bit vague to me" asked Mai with a bit of uncertainty, they were both standing in the elevator at Mai's apartment. "Except that you wearing that kimono with all those guys drooling on them selves and you sung the most beautiful song" said Mai smiling over at Iryuka.

"So you don't remember this?" asked Iryuka, he flipped out his phone and pressed play. Mai heard music playing, then to her surprise she heard herself singing on the phone

"when I look up at the sky,

I can't help wonder why,

we can't be here together

and no matter where you are right now

all I want is to be there by your side.

...

every time I think of you,

I wish I where there too,

instead of being lonely,

since I took you to the Cinerama,

I can't help it, your always on my mind.

coz the boy I love has gone so far away

and it hurts so much I almost lost my music

I can't wait to wake up from this endless dream

and be together every day til we say good night.

...

I still, I still, I still, I love you

I'm waiting waiting forever

I still, I still, I still, I love you

and I will see you again

...

I will love you all my life

eternity and time its self

smile and lets all look for her

until the day we met again..."

...and on went the music with Mai singing to it

"guess not" he chuckled

"that's... Me?" Mai was still in in shock.

Why Am I Singing!!?

"I haven't heard you sing in a very long time, you know?" Iryuka showed her the phones screen.

AND He videoed it!?? her eyes boggled.

Ding!

They were at the bottom floor. The doors opened "Your deleting that, you know" said Mai with a warning in her voice.

Iryuka was starting to walk to the entrance but stopped to look at her. "Really? I was thinking of reverting it to become my ring tone" replied Iryuka with a grin. Mai gave him a 'Don't you dare' glare, he just laughed and kept on walking.

Mai groaned and followed. Great...

They got on the motorbike and Iryuka started it.

"um Iryuka? Where are the helmets?" asked Mai.

"Helmets? What helmets?" asked Iryuka non-jokingly "you didn't ask last night"

No......I didn't... Mai held on to Iryuka tightly as they drove off with a face of shock horror.


Iryuka was speeding way over the the limit.

OhShit! OhShit!! OhShit!!!

Mai cringed every time Iryuka swerved in front of a car or a truck or even another bike.

"Can you slow down a bit?" called Mai, still hugging on to Iryuka with her life, he made no show that he had heard her, so she stayed quite with her eyes half shut.

She watched and cringed as cars went by until...

That's Naru's Van! She tightened her grip on Iryuka.

"you right back there?" yelled Iryuka.

NO "yes!" she yelled back

It felt like to Mai that Iryuka was now faster and as the van got closer, she realized that the Monk's car was in front of the van. It was a dark blue sports car with its top down so you could see that there were two blonde heads and a red headed one in the car, but no black hair.

Masako must be in the van where I sit. Mai didn't like that. And there's no Osamu either. she frowned

They got closer to the vehicles, she groaned they're gonna see me... on a bike!

The bike got closer, and there was Naru looking out the window, glaring at nothing. That glare is for me, I now it.

Naru glanced over to Mai and Iryuka. Oh Crap She turned her face away quickly and didn't see the frown that came on to Naru's face. They headed up towards Bou-San's car and as usual, Iryuka swerved in front of the car and sped up faster. Mai could hear honking from behind them. Mai put her face in Iryuka's back, feeling 'death knocking at her door'. I am going to get fired or worse... die.........

They stopped at a traffic light, oh! Good!, Mai sighed with great relief, loosening her aching arms.

"Are you sure your alright? Not too fast is it?" asked Iryuka.

"I'm fine" replied Mai. A car pulled up beside them. Iryuka revved up him bike ready to go again, waiting for the lights to change. Mai got close to Iryuka's back again and tightened her grip.

"Hey!?"

Mai was so surprised to hear that it was the Monk that was calling in the car that was beside them, she didn't even look, she was too scared to look in his direction.

"Hey!? DUDE!!?" Mai could feel Iryuka turning to the left to see what the man, Bou-San, wanted.

"yeah! You, next time you want to pull a stunt like that, put your blinker on" you could hear the annoyance in the Monks voice.

"And get some helmets or at lest one for your girlfriend, she looks scared out of her mind" That was Ayako putting in her bit. And Mai couldn't see Iryuka's face.

Iryuka turned back facing the road, the light had turned green. He revved the the bike again and sped off with extreme speed. Leaving everyone behind and the feel of dread heating up on Mai's face.

oh no...


Finally!!

They had arrived at the the estate which was called the Marazaki (Mar-a-zar-ki) residence. The whole place was surrounded by a tall cement wall so you could not see the inside and had a large carved wooded gate as the entrance.

Iryuka turned off the bike, looked at the wall and wistled. Mai got off with not so much grace and took the large pack of her back.

What did he put in this bag??? as she dropped it on the ground

"Ok, come here so I can check your hair" Iryuka smiled with his arms out, Mai rolled her eyes while walking over to him. He check and straighten her shirt as well.

"Good, now just take care of that hair of yours and you will always look sexy" said with a not so much straight face.

Unlikely "of course" replied Mai "oh here's the keys to the appartment" she smiled

" Thanks... and call me when you get a chance, Ok?" he asked.

"but i don't have a mobile, Iryuka" laughed Mai.

He looked at her, the pulled out his own phone. "here, I'll call you on mine and Hey! Maybe I'll buy you a phone for your birthday present" he said smiling.

"Oh, thank you Iryuka! But... I just can't take your phone, don't a lot of people call you?" asked Mai.

"No, that's my own phone and work only calls me at home phone, so yeah" he started the bike.

""I'll call you later" he drove around to face the way they came from. he looked up "Ahh! can't just they leave us alone?" Mai looked towards the road they came from, it was the van and the sports car.

"hey!? Dare me to play chicken with them?"Iryuka put on a cheeky grin.

"don't...." warned Mai.

Iryuka laughed and sped off. "DON'T!!" Mai yelled after Iryuka.

You could see that he was on the wrong side of the road, You idiot!, but before the car and the bike got even close to each other Iryuka went back on the right side of the road and turned a corner disappearing.

I can't believe this...

she leaned against the wall with a hand to her head and the pack at her feet. "how am I going to explain all this to them?" she said out loud to her self. Mai looked up and saw the monks car and the van pulling up. She sighed, well this is it.

She pushed her self off the wall grabbed her pack and waited for everyone to get out of the cars. Bou-san was the first out of the car with no help towards opening the door for Ayako. Dam Monk.

All he saw was a really good looking girl standing over near the entrance of the Marazaki residence and walked over.

"hey? Sorry if this is a weird question but is this Marazaki residence? We've gotten a little lost" asked the Monk with a charming smile. yeah right..

then... He doesn't know who I am? Mai was surprised.

"It should be" said Mai "I was just dropped off here" She smiled at the Monk

"Wait..." Bou-San looked at her closer, yep he sees it now and his eyes widened. Mai rolls her eyes puts a hand on a hip and leans on one side, waiting.

"You-you you-your.. your!!??" Monk was going hysterical.

"Spit it out, monk" said Mai with a smile on her face, everyone (besides Lin and Naru) was looking at her with surprised now, "We haven't got all day".

"MAI!!!??" The Monk was still standing there mouth open when the others called out her name.

"The one and only!" Mai said with a giggle and a smile. Bou-San walked over to Mai and touched her hair, its a wig stupid, she raised an eyebrow. The Monk took a deep breath in and... what the...

Bou-San had her in a bear hug swinging her from side to side, "Mai! You are so cute, no wait, your better that cute, you are so dam sexy, I just want to eat you up!!!!" he said in a loud voice.

Can... not... breath...

"Stop it, Bou-San, she can't breath" Ayako said slapping the Monk on the head.

He let go and Mai could breath again, that was close, she looked around to see that Ayako was glaring at monk, which he had a sheepish grin on, John was smiling towards Mai, Masako had her hand up over her mouth and was glaring over at Mai and Naru and Lin were the same as ever, taking no notice of what was being augured about but looking at the gate with Naru's black folder open.

"Don't you think Mai looks very pretty, Naru?" asked Ayako still glaring at the monk. Naru glanced over and then back to his folder.

"Yes, very beautiful" he said as he and Lin walked over to the large wooden gate.

Everyone plus Mai with her cheeks a flamed, stared at Naru's back, even Lin looked over to Naru.

"I said pretty not beautiful, right?" Ayako whispered to John-San. John nodded still staring as well.

"Can we please just start the case, shall we?" asked Naru with a little annoyance in his voice.

They all snapped out of it and walked to Naru and Lin, as Lin pulled a rope that was hanging on the side of the gates frame which made the sound of the chimes.


Ok how did you like it?

The Monk went a little over board I know... but why wouldn't he? A friend of his has just turned even sexier!

Ayako of course wasn't too happy, with him.

And Naru oh my God!?? Did he make a mistake with his words or did he mean to say that??? hmmmm??

Ok.......... Review?, Suggest stuff?? say its bad??? I don't mind

I just want to get chapter 5 up quick as possible....... Thanks!!! : )

oh and the song was 'Lost My Music'. Sung by Wendee Lee. In the Anime: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
