"Ne, ne, Naru! Look at this one! It's huge!" Mai cried excitedly from her seat in the back of the black stretched limo. "Naru, you aren't looking!"

Naru rolled his eyes, in his seat next to hers, and kept his view on the paper before him. "Mai, I grew up here, I've seen Big Ben plenty of times," he said with a small smirk.

"Aw Naru stop being such a party pooper," the brunette pouted.

Naru sighed; he was a sucker when it came to Mai's pouting face. "Alright Mai, tomorrow if you wish, I'll take you out for the day."

Mai smiled brightly at her boyfriend. "Ok!...A-Ano (Um)…"

"What is it?"

"…Are we there yet?"

Naru would have groaned out loud if he weren't so composed. "No, not yet Mai."

"Oh, okay…"

He sighed. Finally, peace and quie-

Click, click.

This time Naru did groan.

(Two minutes later)

Click, Click.

"Mai…"

Click, click, click.

"Mai…"

Click, click, click.

"Mai! Stop clicking your tongue," Naru twitched.

"Huh? What?" she asked. "Oh! Sorry! It's an old habit ehehe..ehe...gomen (sorry)."

Naru looked down at the paper in his hand. There has to be some way to find a cure! It's been three months already, I need to find a cure for her soon…I have to…that's why I came here, back to England. I have all the equipment I should need here, and anyway, Mother practically threatened me into bringing Mai to see her, ugh Mum is going to be such a bother. I can just see it now, her and that camera of hers-

Click, vrrrrmmm, click, brrrrrrrmmmm…

Twitch

Click, vrrrrm, click, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm…

Twitch, twitch

Click, Vrrrm, click, brrrm…

Naru's hands clenched into fists, "Mai! Stop playing with the windows," he gritted through his teeth.

"Ehehe, gomen, gomen," she apologized nervously.

Naru sighed for the umpteenth time that day. Her illness can most likely be fixed if I…no that won't work. Maybe if I…no that won't work either! Ugh, I need to take a better look at that sampled of blood. I need to-

"Are we there yet?"

"No, Mai."

-find the cure!!

"How bout now?"

"No."

"…Now?"

"Mai."

"How bou-mmm?" she was silenced by Naru's lips upon hers.

Naru pulled back slightly with a smirk on his face. "Stop kiss making kiss noises kiss."

Mai nodded vigorously. "Hai (Ok)!" she squeaked and quickly looked out her window.

Satisfied, Naru turned back and looked at the paper in his hands, while Mai sat straight back against her seat and fiddled embarrassedly with her fingers, trying to make the blush on her cheeks go down.

Minutes passed by and Mai soon dozed off to sleep and slumped against the raven haired boy's shoulder. He looked down at her with soft smiling eyes and gave her a small kiss on her forehead.

A few moments later the divider in the limo opened up to reveal Lin and Madoka in the driver's and passenger's seats.

Naru looked up with a raised eyebrow. "What is it?"

Madoka smirked. "We didn't hear anything for a while now and just wanted to make sure you two weren't getting a little too friendly, if you know what I mean," she teased and wagged her eyebrows at the boy.

Lin sighed at his fiancée's words but continued driving nonetheless.

Naru glared daggers at the red haired woman, but stopped once he saw her digging through her purse for something.

"What are you doing?" he asked suspiciously.

Madoka hid something behind her back, and gasped. "Naru, it looks like Mai's having a nightmare!"

Naru quickly looked down at his girlfriend with soft, caring eyes.

Click, FLASH!

Naru growled. Madoka tricked him.

He glared up at the older woman who was looking at the cute picture she had taken of him and the sleeping Mai. "Did mother give you that camera?" he ordered.

Madoka waved a finger. "I'll never tell! Ha!"

With that she quickly put the divider again and Naru sighed. She's supposed to be an adult, but she acts like a kid…ugh I'm surrounded by kids!

After a half an hour, they had finally reached their destination. Naru shook the sleeping brunette and woke her.

"Mai, Mai we're here."

"Mmm, huh?" she asked groggily and rubbed a hand to her sleepy eyes.

"We're here Mai, Lin and Madoka have already gone inside" Naru stated.

"Really? We're here?! YAY!! Let's go," she cheered, sleepiness forgotten.

She climbed over the boy and leapt outside the limo, giving a stretch. Naru exited soon after.

"Noll, Mai! It's so good to see you both," Martin, Naru's dad, yelled happily as he descended the stairs of the mansion. "I wish this meeting was under better circumstances however," he said softly once he was in front of the couple. After giving them both a hug he placed a hand on Mai's shoulder, "Don't worry, we'll find the cure. You'll be as good as new in a few weeks," he said with a grin.

Mai smiled gratefully up at the older man. He had dark hair and small wrinkles near his eyes and mouth, most likely from smiling all the time.

"MAI-CHAN!! Oh, you're even cuter than the last time I saw you!!" a woman's voice yelled in adoration from the top of the front steps.

The group looked up and saw Noll's mother, Luella, booking it down the steps as fast as she could.

Naru groaned once he saw what was in her hand.

"Mum, do you ever put that camera down?" he muttered.

"Of course not silly!" the blonde woman laughed. She turned to Mai with a large excited smile and pulled the girl into a bear hug. "Oh Mai it's so good to see you again! I hope my boy has been nice to you! Oh! And I have some new clothes for you up in your room! Come on lets go try them on!"

"Try 'them' on? H-How many clothes did you buy?" Mai asked in shock as the older woman pulled her up the steps.

"Oh it's nothing bad, just about twenty bags worth! I can get more if you want! I feel another shopping spree coming on!" Luella cried and continued pulling the now pale Mai into the mansion.

Naru shook his head at his mother's actions and turned to Martin.

Naru brought a hand up and rubbed his temples. "Father, It's been three months already and I still have no idea on how to solve this. It's…I feel…I can solve any case given to me, but when it's finding a cure for the person I-I…"

"Love?" Martin supplied.

"Yes…I love her and yet I can't figure out how to help her! I can take on the strongest spirits in the world and yet I can be beaten by such a thing like this?!" Naru's shoulders started shaking. His control was slipping. The lamp that hung next to the wide entrance doors of the house shattered.

Martin's eyes widened and he placed his hands on his son's shoulders. "Noll, calm down! Keep control, you'll pass out if you use your power, and Mai won't be too happy about that. Of all the years I have known you and been your father, I have never seen you give in to defeat so easily. You can fix this. You will find the cure for Mai. I will be there with you every step of the way. We have so many friends who are scientists and doctors and are willing to help as well. You aren't alone in this, Noll."

Naru stopped shaking and lowered his head. "I just don't want to lose her. I already lost Gene; I don't want to lose her as well…not her."

Martin nodded. "I know son, I know. Come now; show me the research you have already done. We can start by looking at a sample of her blood."

Naru nodded in agreement and followed his father into the house.

(Up in the guest room- Three hours later)

"Ah Mai-chan! You're gorgeous! That color looks brilliant on you!" Luella squealed.

"Arigato (thank you)," Mai blushed.

She looked in the mirror. After trying on all of the clothes, Luella made Mai put on a light mint green colored sundress and a thin white half-sweater which tied in the front. She had on white little slip on shoes.

Luella had pulled Mai's bangs back and clipped them to the side of her face with little pearl clips.

"Come on Mai! It's time for dinner! Noll's going to LOVE this one!"

Mai blushed even harder than before. The older woman grabbed her hand, rushed out of the room, and down to the dinning room. She suddenly ran off somewhere but not before she pushed Mai inside the room making the girl stumble and fall into something, or someone.

Mai looked up and blushed again. "Naru!"

The raven haired boy helped the girl up and stuck a strand of fallen hair behind her ear.

"You look beautiful, love," he whispered.

"A-Arigato, Naru," Mai smiled. She noticed a hint of sadness in his eyes. "What's wrong?"

Naru shook his head. "Nothing."

Mai pouted and poked him in the chest. "Tell me."

Damn that pout of hers, Naru thought.

"It's just…it's taking a bit longer than I hoped to find your cure," he muttered and turned his head away to look out the window at the setting sun. The room was illuminated with an orange hue.

Mai smiled lightly and placed a hand on the boy's cheek, making him face her again.

"That's alright Naru, I know I'll be cured, I just know it."

A small smile crept up onto the raven haired boys face.

Mai smiled as well. "You always look so handsome when you smile, you know," she whispered.

"I know," he smirked.

She shook her head. "You're still the narcissist you always were."

"That's why you love me."

Mai made a face but smiled afterwards nonetheless. "I know."

Naru bent down and brushed his lips against hers.

Click, FLASH!

"Ooo, such a cute picture! This one's going in the photo album!" Luella squealed from behind a nearby door and started skipping away, down the hall. "I have to go show Martin!"

Naru glared at her retreating figure. "I swear, one day I'm going to take that camera away from her."

Mai laughed and pulled the black haired boy into a sweet, love filled kiss.
