Thank you for all of the wonderful reviews.

Okay I'm back. I'm so very sorry. I said that I was going to finish my stories before I go on my holiday... But I didn't have the time. I was still packing the day before I left. So none of my stories are complete.

Here is chapter 7.

Please read and review and enjoy.

Two weeks have past and the case was solved thanks to Mai, Kenji and the others. Martin was packing to leave to go home back to England and to his wife when Naru entered the room. "Father, I want to stay here." He said. Martin looked at his son for a moment and then grinned, "is it because of Miss Taniyama?" He asked.

Naru was about to deny it. But Lin would have told him everything. "Yes and that there are a lot of paranormal activity here in Japan." "But you are underage, who will act as your guardian full time?" Martin asked, sitting down on the bed.

"I will." Lin stepped in to the room. He can look out for his best friend and be with Madoka for a little bit longer. Martin sighed. "I will discuss this with your mother, and you know how protective she is of you." Martin pulled out his phone and dialled a phone number and on the forth ring Luella answered it.

"Martin." She screamed in excitement, making Martin winced. Martin nodded his head to the door, telling Naru to leave the room for a moment.

Naru went back in to his room which was right next door. He heard his father's voice and then a few minutes later he heard Lin's and then nothing. Martin came in a few minutes later. "Your mother isn't happy but Lin and I persuaded her, providing that you and Lin keep in touch on how you are doing and what you find."

Naru grinned and shook his father's hand. "Write down a list you two for the things you want to be sent and I will send them to you."

An hour later Naru and Lin dropped Martin to the airport. And then went to Mai's house, knowing that Madoka will be there. Mai answered the door and let them in. "Is your father home?" Naru asked. "In the lounge room, I'll be in the music studio." When Kenji and Julia were just newlyweds they turned the basement in to a small music studio, well sort of, more like a music shop. They had a black piano and a white one. They had collected all types of guitars, electric guitar and so forth. There was a drum set and other instruments like violins and other string instruments.

Mai went over to her mother's white piano and began to play nothing in particular. Mai just closed her eyes and pictured her mother playing it.

In the lounge room Naru was talking to Kenji. Trying to get him to like him. "You like my daughter don't you?" Kenji asked out of the blue catching Naru by surprise. "How?" that was the only word Naru could get out.

"I can see it in your eyes when she comes in to the room."

"Umm..." For once in his life Naru was actually scared speechless. What was Kenji going to do to him? "I like you kid. But Mai is all I have..." Kenji looked in to the teens eyes. "I would never hurt her."

"See that you don't." Kenji said. "Go to her." "Thank you." Naru stood up and went to the basement. Mai was on the lounge with her guitar and her laptop and her music book. There was a look of frustration on her face. "What's wrong?" Naru asked. "I don't know to tell you the truth... Every time I come up with a song to go with the music I wrote it sounds completely wrong." Mai said as Naru sat down next to her. "Let me hear the music." He said and Mai played the song on the guitar.

It sounded beautiful. Naru closed his eyes and just listened. When she finished playing he picked up the book with the notes in it. "That is tricky. Why don't you write a song on behalf of your mother?" Naru suggested. "That is a great idea. I know just what to write thank you." Mai rubbed out the old notes and wrote down an entire song...

Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la

You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms

I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me

I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you

You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm living out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying by too fast

I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you

I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me

I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you

I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la

I miss you

The crowd went wild and Mai bowed and left the stage in tears. As the host called for an ad break, Mai went straight in to her father's arms and cried in to his chest. "That was beautiful Mai." Kenji whispered through tears.

The host of the morning show went up to them and asked, "Are you alright Miss Taniyama? We can do the interview another time if you don't feel up to it." Mai shook her head and whispered, "Can you give me a few minutes?" She asked and the host nodded and went back on to the stage. Kazuya followed him and stopped him just before he got in to view of the audience. "I can help you stall until she is ready." Kazuya said knowing that the morning show's producer wanted to do an interview with Kazuya Shibuya for a long time.

The host nodded eagerly and went back to his seat. "And welcome back to the morning show. Mai Taniyama is just changing so she will be with us in just a second but here is a real surprise for you, gentlemen, hold on to your girlfriends because here is...

KAZUYA SHIBUYA!" The audience screamed in surprise and delight as Kazuya went on the stage and shook the host's hand and waved to the cameras and the audience. "Welcome to the morning show. Wow this is a real surprise and an honour. The princess of pop and the prince of pop here together on the morning show. How is your new album going?"

"It is going real good. Mai and her father are helping me with it. And Mai and I sing a duet in the album." Naru (Kazuya) replied. "Really? Would you mind singing it for us?" "We'd be honoured."

"Here that folks? Don't let him forget that." The audience laughed. "Now there is a rumour that you are off the market? You have a girlfriend. Is that true?" Mai had just come out of her dressing room all refreshed when the question was asked. Naru looked at her and she nodded.

The women in the audience held their breath praying silently that the rumour is just a rumour. "Yes, I do have a girlfriend." Naru confirmed and the women cried out in sadness. "Who is she?" The host asked and Mai took that as her cue to walk on the stage and say, "I am." The crowd went wild as she sat down and Naru gave her a kiss on the cheek and grabbed her hand.

"When did this all happen?" the host demanded. "Well I liked her from the beginning. Then once I got to know her a little more I fell more in love with her. I asked her father's permission first thankfully he approves and we went out and just a few days ago she confessed her feelings."

"Kazuya is the light in my darkness." Mai stared in to Naru's eyes as she said it. "What do your parents say about this?" The host asked Naru. "They like her. They have met Mai's father as well." Naru replied, not looking at the host but still staring in to Mai's eyes.

"Okay, this just about raps the show this morning but before we go a song from Kazuya's newest album Shine, which will be out next month. But the entire audience will get a copy of the album and Mai's new album, Ready, set, don't go. Here is Kazuya and Mai singing Almost here."

The crowd went wild and the music began to play and then Naru began to sing.

Did I hear you right
'cause I thought you said
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you

Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?

But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here

I would change the world
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me
Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
Oh please protect me

Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you

But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here

Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you

But when I need you
You're almost here
Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you
And when I hold you your almost here
Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted
And now I'm with you I'm close to tears
'cause I know I'm almost here

Only almost here

The audience went wild. "Japan's newest famous couple, Kazuya and Mai. Have nice day everyone."

Is it all pretend? Just to sell Kazuya's newest album? Well you're just going to wait to find out. (You won't have to wait for two weeks, I promise.)

Again I'm terribly sorry.

The two songs in this chapter were sung by Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. (I miss you.) And Delta Goodrem with Brian McFadden. (Almost here.)

Please review.
