Okay people, this is the end of Possession. But I am working on the rest of the Return series and a much longer multi-chapter story...but unless you review I won't post them! I love my reviewers! Author does happy dance.


Epilogue

Mai sat staring at her desk. It was the weekend and Kira had called to say that she and Senata were going away for the weekend and they wanted to thank SPR again for getting rid of Renara. That had been the high point of Mai's day. One little phone call from their former clients. Her mood certainly wasn't helped when Masako entered the office and dragged Naru out to eat, leaving Mai alone as Lin had not shown up for work. Naru had told her that the man had a cold.

She tapped her pencil on the desk as she listened to the clock counting down the minutes she had left until she could leave. Normally she wasn't so anxious but when there was no one to talk to or have arguments with…the day went by at an extremely slow pace. And Mai was beginning to get seriously agitated over the fact that she had nothing to do.

'Stupid Naru! He tells me that he's 'fond' of me then he goes on a date with Masako! I bet he was just lying to me so I would beat him to a pulp for following me to the temple! I wish I didn't care so much!' Mai thought sadly. She stood up and walked towards the kitchen and began to make herself a cup of tea.

Mai waited for the pot of water to heat up and when the whistle went off she quickly poured herself a cup. She took her teacup into the small waiting room and sat down on the couch and sipped at her tea while watching the clock. If Naru wasn't back by three o'clock she was going to leave and let him get in by himself. She was not going to be like a meek little wife that was waiting for her husband to show up.

Mai looked up as the door opened and in strolled Naru. She watched him take his coat off before he turned and walked towards his office. She frowned before setting her cup down and leaning back on the couch and crossing her arms angrily as she pouted over the fact that Naru hadn't so much as looked at her. The door to his office reopened and he poked his head out.

"Mai, tea." he said before closing the door and Mai sighed, that's all he had been saying to her ever since they left the temple. She prepared his cup and went into his office and set the tea down in front of Naru.

"How was your lunch?" she asked amiably, she might as well be friendly even if he never returned the courtesy to her. She wouldn't mind if he did but she knew somehow that he never would.

"Fine." he replied and Mai held back her growl of frustration, though she didn't realize that she had let a little slip. She rolled her eyes before turning away to leave the office.

"Are you jealous?" his voice caused her to whirl around startled and she looked at him startled.

"Jealous? Of what?" she asked, glad that her voice didn't squeak. She had a very good feeling that she knew what he was talking about.

"Let's see. Masako dragged me out of the office to go on a 'date'. When I get back you are sitting on the couch, looking as though you are in the foulest mood that I have ever seen. Then you come in here and don't even stand there staring at me waiting for me to say something. Are you jealous?" he asked and Mai could feel her cheeks flame and she looked at the floor.

"No! I'm…I'm not jealous!" she said to the floor, praying that it would open up beneath her and swallow her whole. She didn't want to let him see her blushing and knowing that he would never let her live it down.

"Well, that's very good." Mai felt her eyes widen when Naru tipped her head up and she met his ice blue eyes. She could feel her breathing hitch as he bent down to her ear and she could feel her breathing hitch as he breathed against her ear.

"Yes, that's excellent that you aren't jealous. Because, you see, I'm a very jealous man, Mai." he whispered and Mai watched him pull back before his lips pressed against hers firmly and she wrapped her arms around his neck before they pulled apart and Mai just knew that her face was flaming.

"But what do you have to be jealous of, Naru?" Mai asked and she saw Naru's eyes softened and if she hadn't known better she would have bet all her belongings that she was dreaming because of the soft way Naru was looking at her.

"If you haven't noticed the way men look at you I will not inform you of it." he replied."Now go back to your desk. We may get another case that interests me." he went back to his desk and Mai smiled before she turned away. But when she reached the door she turned to look at him and he looked up curiously.

"Hey, Naru…I love you." she winked at him and she saw his eyes widen slightly before going back to their normal size and she saw him smirk at her.

"That's good, Mai, because you belong to me." he replied and Mai gave a small squeak before rushing out of his office and shutting the door behind her firmly and Naru leaned back in his seat with his hands folded on his stomach.

'Maybe now I'll get to kiss her more often.' Naru thought before he returned to his files, the one thing he might have loved just as much as Mai. They both brought happiness to his life.


Hope you enjoyed!
