HEer's chapter 8. sorry if it took a while. this is mostly a filler. Enjoy. R&R


Mai heard a faint beeping not far off. It couldn't be the alarm she set to wake up at nine. It felt as if she had just fallen asleep. Instead of getting up she pulled the blanket over her head and snuggled more into the bed. She was so warm she could just fall back to sleep; that is until, Lin ripped the blanket off of her. Before falling back to sleep she had changed into a pink lacy slip Ayako had bought her. She was freezing. Without thinking she reached up and tried to pull the blanket back. Ha was that a bad idea. When she reached up Lin grabbed her arm and pulled her up off the bed. Pulling away she plopped right on her but on the bed.

"Time to wake up Taniyama-san. It's already 9:45. That means you get 15 minutes to get ready and start packing." He didn't call her by her first name? Looking up Mai saw the stoic look back on his face.

"What did I do wrong Lin-san?" She whispered wishing he would put a smile back on his face. Looking back down when Lin stayed quiet she felt tears falling down to her lap. Seeing she was crying Lin very quickly dropped his act. He dropped to the floor in front of her and grabbed he shoulders.

"You didn't do anything wrong. I was just trying to get you up so Naru wouldn't scream and yell. Stop crying please?" Her shoulders were shaking in his hands he hated this. Lifting her head up Lin saw a smiling, laughing Mai. "HUH?"

"Had a feeling!"

"Mai...Ah you really had me scared that I had hurt you. Dang it you are so getting it once we get back to Shibuya. Now get ready. I was serious when I said Naru would start yelling."

Right on cue they heard "Hurry up!"

She went to her bag, laughing, for a change of clothes to find out she had only a skirt clean. "Dang it! How am I supposed to go out with a skirt! I know Masako doesn't have anything and Ayako's clothes are to big for me and she only had one outfit as of last night. How did I run out of clean clothes? I packed a weeks worth and we've been here a day! Ah what am I going to do? Ah I'll just have to wear a dirty shirt." Sighing Mai went to grab her shirt from last night to find it missing as well. "Who the hell is hiding my clothes!" Looking around Mai saw a shirt not far off that looked to be her size. Not caring who's it was she tossed it on along with her skirt. "Okay let's go Lin"

Lin was holding back laughter as he walked behind Mai. 'I guess grandma really has forgiven her. That shirt is hilarious.' He thought as they walked to the front of the house where everyone was waiting.

"Mai. What is with your shirt? I didn't know you had that." Ayako said as she walked to Mai inspecting her shirt.

"Why? Is it that bad? I just found it hanging on the shower so I used it." Mai looked down and saw there was writing on the shirt. She couldn't read it. "Can I use your mirror Ayako. I want to see what it says." Grabbing the mirror from Ayako she read the words written on the barrowed shirt. "I LIKE HOT, SEXY, CHINESE MEN. EX: LIN KOJOU." Mai dropped the mirror. "Who the hell's idea is this! This is so embarrassing and I don't have a coat to cover it up!"

"Here" Mai looked over to see Naru handing her a coat. HE was laughing at her. How dare he! Huffing Mai grabbed the coat and marched to the van.

"THAT IS HALLARIOUS! WHO DID THAT!" Bou-san asked through his tears.

"I think that would be my grandma. According to my mom she was always pulling pranks."
