In the last chapter...

Naru didn't take his eyes off Mai since she entered. The rest of the team also sit down.

"Is this the first time you dream of this case?" Naru asked Mai. Mai closed her eyes while thinking, but then she opened them and looked at Naru. She was going to have to remember all that have happened.

Chapter 10: Answer me

"Is that all?" Naru asked annoyed or angry. Why? Becouse Mai didn't tell him nothing about these dreams, and becouse they could have helped in the case.

"Yes." Mai asnwered, looking really serious. Bou-san and Ayako stared at Mai with their mouths open and Yasuhara the same, but their minds where thinking totally different things.

"MAI! Why didn't you told us about this?" Bou-san asked at her almost daughter-sister.

"Yeah, Mai! Why?" Ayako followed Bou-san.

"MAI! Why didn't you take me with you? ! I'm your friend, right?" Yasuhara asked, and no one could tell if he was being serious. So, everyone glared at him, but Naru's glare was more powerful than nothing... well, maybe not. Even so, Yasuhara shuted up right away. Mai took a big breath.

"I didn't tell you, becouse i didn't know that these dreams have something to do with your case." Mai told them. Putting some other tone in the word 'your'.

"Now you do, so whenever you have a dream tell someone." Naru didn't say, but ordered. Mai glared at Naru with a coldness that Naru couldn't believe it.

"I'm not your assistant anymore, Naru. I don't have the obligation to tell you nothing." Mai answered back. Everyone eyes went to Mai. Even if Naru broke her heart, Mai, the Mai they knew, wouldn't be able to be so cold.

"That's true." Naru said to everyone surprise. He was hurt, but didn't show it. He never showed his emotions and wasn't planing on doing so. "That's why i'm hiring you." he finished, this time to Mai's surprise.

"You can't!" Mai said this time standing in front of him, and she was really angry.

"I can and already did it." Naru said, this time while reading his notes. Even if they weren't much.

"I already have a job!" Mai screamed, now feeling like a doll. They were using her without asking her before. "Naru, I'm a model!" she continued screaming.

"This time it's not in your hands to choose. Sparks-san has already approbed and is expecting you to accept, even if you don't have the right to choose this time." Naru told her still looking at the notes, not reading them. Mai stood where she was, without moving an inch.

"Then... um... what is Mai going to do?" John asked trying to calm the tension of the room, and he did well, becouse there was an arwark silence. Naru looked at John and for a second John though that he was telling him 'Thanks' by his eyes.

"Basically tell us about the dreams." Naru answered.

"And if she doesn't have them?" Ayako asked, also seeing that the tension was still on the room.

"Then we won't need her." Naru said, and even for him sounded too cold. He looked at Mai and let the shocked expresion be seen on his face. The others that were looking at Naru saw this and looked at Mai the next second.

"I hate this..." Mai said looking at the floor. Her bangs was covering her eyes, but the tears that were falling from her eyes could be seen. Without looking at Naru or anyone else, Mai left the room running.

"MAI!" Bou-san called for Mai, he even stood up but didn't go after her. He started at the door while the others stayed in silence. "You went to far, Naru-chan." Bou-san said without looking at Naru, and he used the -chan to make him understand that he just behaved like a child.

"You shouldn't have said that." Masako said from her seat, with a disgusted face. Naru was ignoring what they were saying.

"Mai is a very important for the team, Shibuya-san, even if she can't help with her dreams." John talked now. Yasuhara and Lin nodded that one of them was quiet for the first time of the day and the other was still without talking.

"Are you done?" Naru asked after sighing. He was feeling really bad, but he couldn't show it. He stood up and went to the screens.

"You aren't going after her?" Ayako asked, angry- no, not angry but furius.

"There's no need." He said with his poker face, but inside he was feeling like punking by his own behavior. Masako stood up and glared to death at Naru, who simply ignored her.

"Now that you don't need her you don't mind about her, right?" Masako asked with a cold face. "You think that she will do whatever you ask her to do, when she is only going to hate you more." she finished before going after Mai slowly and with John behind her, that only excused himself and went with Masako.

The rest of the team stood where they were until Bou-san and Ayako also went after Mai, this time without saying anything. That only left Naru, Yasuhara and Lin. Madoka was walking around the place, and Lin was sure that she already knew about the accident and the idea of hiring Mai. The three of them were in complet silence until someone had to broke the silence that was being akwark from the start.

"Boss, you need to grow up. What Masako-san said it's true, she won't be doing whatever you want. At least, not after what happened three years ago." And with that Yasuhara also went to the door, but stoped before going out complety. "I will look for some information about this building." Yasu said before going with the team.

Naru and Lin didn't say anything after all the team went out. Naru didn't mean to say that, but what it's said it's already said. He wanted to change what just happened, but he also knew his limits and he just passed through them. Lin stood in complet silence and Naru was sure that he was thinking something, but wasn't saying it.

"There's nothing you want to say, Lin?" Naru asked the Chinesse man, that only looked at him.

"Everything is already said." Lin said before taking the laptop and going out. The only difference of the others going out was that Lin went out becouse he knew that Naru wanted to be alone for a moment. Naru didn't oppose Lin thoughs, becouse he just stayed quiet while closing his fist tighter.

With Mai:

Mai ran and ran. She wanted to hide on a hole and never came back. She couldn't believe what her boss just said. For him she was just another piece of his game. She already knew that Naru couldn't think of her as something more than a worker, but even so, saying it aloud hurted her more than being stabed. She knew that a lot people had to bear pain everyday, and she knew that she had to be lucky and happy of having such a life, but everyone had these days, and Mai was feeling like nothing.

She didn't see the people that were passing next to her asking if she was alright, becouse the tears were making it difficult. She tryed not to cry. Naru wasn't worth of crying for him, she already knew that, but the feelings that were passing by her were more powerful than any other though.

She continued running until she ran into someone. Mai began to apologize without hearing what the other person was saying. She continued apologizing while thinking all the bad things that Naru had saying for all the time they had know each other. Mai was on the floor, with her hands making fists and looking at the floor. Mai continued to apologize until she heard a slap.

Mai reached her left hand to her left check. She looked up and in the way she saw blonde hair. She continued looking up and saw dark eyes. The face that she was looking up could show a lot of emotions, but the emotion that caught Mai atention was worry.

"Emiko..." Mai whispered. "What are you doing here...? And why did you slap me?" Mai continued to ask, now forgeting her sadness and bringing the angry-Mai.

"Hello~! I'm your personal make-up artist! And you didn't shut up, so i slaped you." Emiko answered like nothing happened. Mai looked at Emiko like she was crazy, still touching her hurting check and without the intention to stand up. Neither of them knew that they were still on the floor.

"..." Mai still looked at Emiko with the same expresion. Emiko was getting annoyed.

"What?" Emiko asked with her hands on her hip.

"You slaped me!" Mai comented. Emiko rolled her eyes.

"I think that it's pretty obvious, Mai." Emiko said while standing up. She handed Mai a hand, that she gadly accepted. Mai was still touching her check while Emiko stared at her. After some seconds, Mai noticed that Emiko was staring at her.

"There's something on my face?" Mai asked a bit annoyed by the fact that Emiko wasn't changing her stare to another thing.

"Apart for the red mark on your check... no, nothing." Emiko said while smirking. Mai huffed at her and blushed a bit. "Why where you crying?" Emiko asked Mai.

Mai looked at Emiko to find her being deadly serious. Mai knew that Emiko cared for her like a little sister, Emiko told her herself, but Emiko also considered Mai like a friend. Right now Mai was having problems to find which one of those characters Emiko was playing. Mai and Emiko stared at each other until Mai looked at the floor.

"I-" Mai started to explain.

"Let's go eat some ice-creams." Emiko told Mai before she could explain whatever she was going to explain to Emiko.

Mai looked up at Emiko with her mouth half opened. Mai saw that Emiko was smiling warmly at her, and she knew that Emiko changed the topic becouse she saw that Mai was having problems that didn't want to explain. She cared enought to see that small trouble and didn't force her to explain it to her. Mai felt that tears where starting to run down her swolled check, but even so smiled at Emiko.

"Sure. Why not?" Mai told her while cleaning those tears. Emiko smiled from the bottom of her heart and took Mai hand to lead her to the kitchen.

22 minutes later...

Mai and Emiko had her ice-creams in hand while walking around the building. Mai saw that they were already out and couldn't help but wonder where was Emiko leading her. She was that the parking was always full of cars, bans and some bikes. Wait... bikes? Mai though. They were in front of one of the most important model agencys and there were some bikes?... Mai didn't say anything, but though that it didn't make any sense.

"Emiko, where are you taking me?" Mai asked complety lost and confused. Emiko didn't look at Mai, but Mai knew that she was still smiling.

"Somewhere." Emiko told her. Mai rolled her eyes. She had to knew that Emiko would say something like that.

"Of course, becouse you wouldn't take me to anywhere." Mai said sarcastically and Emiko laughted at that. It looked like Mai was already better.

Mai saw that they had already left the parking and that they were walking down by a road that was surrounded by flowers, trees and a really sweet smell. Mai smiled at the sight while eating her Stracciatella ice-cream. She had always liked this type of places, when she went to Spain, Itali and France she saw a lot of Natural Parks. She liked to see the different colours that would appear on different flowers. She continued following Emiko until they reached to a fount.

The fount was made of rock, and there was a female figure on the center. Around the figure, there were small streams. It was incredible. There was enought space to sit there and all of it was surrounded by the trees and flowers. Emiko and Mai continued to walk, until they reached the fount and found someone already sit there. It was a he, and he had dark blonde hair. It seemed that he didn't notice that more people was around him and until Emiko cought, he continued to not know about it.

Said man looked at Mai and Emiko, and Mai would recognize that man anywhere. He had a pair of violet eyes that not many people had.

"Sparks-san?" Mai asked with a frown on her face. She wasn't angry, but confussed. Emiko only looked betwen them, shocked that they knew each other. She only shruger her shoulders, and then she remebered that name. She let her mouth open with really shock.

"Mai?" Anthony asked also shocked to see her at that place. "What are you doing here?" he also asked. Mai pointed to Emiko.

"She took me here." she said and didn't look at Emiko becouse she knew that she was glaring at her, and it wasn't a good idea to look at Emiko while glaring at you.

"How did you find this place?" Anthony asked deadly serious to Emiko. She looked at Anthony with the same serious face and answered.

"I got lost." she only answered. The three of them stood in complet silence until Mai and Anthony bursted into a fit of laughts. Emiko stared at them and huffed a bit.

"You really got lost?" Anthony asked after the laughts and he only receinbed a glare from Emiko. Anthony only raised his arms in defeat. "I didn't ask anything." he said in the end.

"Sparks-san, can i ask you something?" Mai asked suddenly, making Emiko and Anthony to look at her. Anthony stared at the sincere eyes that only belonged to Mai and answered her.

"Go ahead." he told her. Giving her the chance to prove the theory that was starting to form in her head. The only thing that she need now, was his answers.
