Thoughts are in ' Italic'.
P.S: I will only post the next chapter after 10 reviews! (Also, read at the bottom for more info)
Chapter 4- The Rescue?
Mai's Pregnancy Status: 3 Months
Someone's P.O.V
I heard some screaming! 'What was that?' I thought, silently. 'How did I get here again? Oh that's right...'
:::
Flashback
"I've got to go make sure Mai's alright!" I heard another voice at the end of the line say. It was obviously Naru, worrying sick for his pregnant wife.
"Where is she and why are you worrying?" I answered with no expression in my voice at all.
"Well, Mai went out shopping with Ayako. She went early this morning, and she still didn't return. It's getting very dark and it doesn't help she's pregnant either." He said, with an extremely worried tone.
'Naru doesn't show his real emotions in front of anyone except Mai and me'
"So, I'm guessing you want me to come and help you look for them?"
"Right."
I silently sighed, knowing they would be alright.
:::
End Flash Back
'Of course! That's why I'm here!' I shrugged, yet again. Here I am with Naru, walking on the streets in town looking for his friend's wife and naturally, his wife.
"Naru, did you hear that noise just now?" I stated, wondering if he did.
"Yeah, it sounded like yelling. Should we go check it out just in case?" He said, stiffening.
"That would be a good Idea."
We ran as fast as we could towards the source of the yelling. We turned a few corners and ran down a few blocks because we had to make detours in order to get to the noise. There were no streets connecting directly to the source of the screaming.
Once we had gotten to the side of the alley, we both started panting because we ran for a good 10 minutes. We turned the corner and got into the alley. Can you then guess what we seen? Naru's wife Mai, with a man dressed in black, holding a knife to her throat threatening to kill her.
Naru's face expression changed dramatically after that. Fear, anger, sadness, all the bad emotions you can think of were being displayed all at once.
"Noll, calm down! You'll use your PK and might end up hurting Mai!" I yelled, as the ground around us started shaking.
The men dressed in black turned around, still holding firmly the women who were their hostages.
"What do you want?" Said the one holding Mai
"Get the hell out of here or we'll kill both of you!" Said the other one
"NARU! LIN!" Yelled out Mai, almost covered by crying
In an instant, all I saw was Naru running up to the man holding his wife, punching him hardly. He loudly fell on the floor. Naru ran up to his wife, giving her a bear crushing hug.
"What about me!" Yelled Ayako
Since I had spiritual powers as an Onmyoji, I couldn't use them on humans. Before other one could even realise what was happening to his partner, I also sent him flying. Once she was set free, Ayako escaped and ran out of the Alley.
"Naru, get your wife and Ayako out of here. I'll take care of the rest" I said calmly.
He grabbed the hand of his wife and ran out, following Ayako.
:::
"Lin, don't continue that part of the story. Please move on! We don't want to remember what you did to those men." Said Ayako, with a horrified look
"Alright then.."

: 2 Weeks Later:
2 weeks passed since that incident. I'm sure Mai must find this hell, because Noll hasn't left her side since then.
Naru had assigned me a bunch of paperwork. Ever since that client came, I've been getting all the boring stuff like usual. We would be going to the client's house in a week. I pulled out my laptop and started typing the work that had to be done.
'I'm probably going to be here for the rest of the night...'
To my surprise, Madoka came in the office and walked towards me. "Would you like any help for all that paperwork? "
"That would not be necessary." I said, not wanted to be pitied or helped
She then turned around to face me and gave me a big goofy grin. "Give me that pile over there. I'll organize them"
I was not in the mood to argue with her. I handed her the huge pile of paperwork on my right.
:::
: The next day:
I fell asleep on my desk. I never fell asleep at work before! Madoka was gone and all the paperwork was properly arranged.
I got up and checked the clock and noticed it was 9. When I walked out of my office to go in the waiting room, I realized Mai was sitting on one of the couches, reading a magazine and drinking tea. I took my laptop and started typing, hoping she wouldn't notice and tell Noll that I fell asleep while working yesterday.
"Hello Lin!" She said, smiling
"Hi" I replied slowly
She laughed. I know that she knows my little secret. Mai just turned back to her reading.
After a few minutes, she got up and exited the room, and walked in Naru's office.
Since we didn't have the case till another 6 days, it would be quite calm at work today; paperwork for me, reading for Noll and tea making for Mai.
"Mai, don't get up and make me tea. You need your rest! Don't overwork yourself." I heard Naru say
I heard Mai let out a loud sigh and walking back.
'I guess no tea making for Mai today!' I thought, correcting my last statement.
She lied down and watched the ceiling. I continued typing, mostly for nothing as I was keeping myself occupied.
After a few minutes, I noticed she fell asleep. I could also remark the bump that had grown over the last 3 months. Who would guess that Oliver Davis would become a father? Never mind get a wife!
:::
"That was great Lin!" The woman with the red hair exclaimed, surprised by my story
She walked over to me and took the infant. She stopped in front a blond man and handed him over the baby.
Geez! This was an extremely hard chapter to write. After the rescue, I couldn't think up of anything to write. So, thank you for enduring my whining and for helping me my good friend! (You know who you are)
Also, I thank you all for the reviews. But, I'm not writing the next chapter before I get 10 reviews. But, I don't know how fast I'm going to write the next chapter! I've got a lot of homework, evaluations but I'm working on something big; school elections. Because of that and the fact I've got lots of oral presentations to make, I won't be able to write as much. I'll try to update it by the end of next week, but I don't know if I can. If I get at least 15 reviews, I'll hurry up and try to actually meet the deadline I gave myself.
Thank you all for the support and reviews! You guys make my day when I see that popping up in my inbox! :D
Bye for now!
