(Lin's POV)

Then next two days went by very quickly, every day bot Mai and I world go for a stroll in my parents vast back yard and we would sit under the largest trees there. We would let the sounds of nature closed around us as Mai rested her back against my chest. Then when we would head in I would enclose her hand in mine and walk with her back to our rooms, there I would give her a kiss and tell her good night. On the morning that I had to return to England both my parents and Mai drove me to the air port. To my surprise both of my parents remained in the car and allowed Mai to escort me to the terminal, then as I was about to leaver her there Mai pulled on my hand. Her pull cased me to turn to look at her, she looked up at me with a slight smile before she went up on her tows and pulled my head down towards her and place and intense kiss on my hugged me close but right before she released me she let her lips skim across my ear as she said, "You better come back to me Koujo...I'll miss you." as she said the last words she placed a kiss on my cheek.

She then turned away from me and started to head towards the exit. I stood there watching her walk away from me as I felt a slight blush creep on to my cheeks as I realized that she had called my by my first name. I then pulled out my cell phone and texted her that I would be back and that she had better be ready for when I did at that time Mai was seventeen and a half. When I got to England it turns out that case was even more dangerous that the owner had lead every one to believe that case was over in six day. I kept in contact with Mai every day and in doing so I found out that her training was progressing faster than any other student my parents have taught before. When I was in my office back BSPR I opened my email and saw that I had one from my mother and when I clicked on it there was an attachment. I clicked on the attachment only to come face to face with a image of a woman, but what surprised me was the text below that said that this woman was Mai and that another power had awoken during dinner. When I looked at the photo again I could not believe that Mai now had long black hair with those stunning light blue eyes.

(Two years later)

I had just gotten off Skype with Mai when I looked at the calendar with Mai's birthday circled in red marker. I then opened my emails to go through them, I then came across one that had Mai's name as the subject. This peeked my interest and I clicked on it, as I read the email I found out that a lawyer was looking for Mai and wanted to get in contact with her, he had even given me a number so I could contact him and hear what he wanted to say. I quickly dialed the number on my office phone after the third ring a woman picked up the phone and said the name of some law firm and asked me who I was wanting to talk to. I then said, "Yes I am wanting to talk to Mr. Takato it is concerning Mai Taniyama."

"Pleas hold a minuet sir while I get a hold of him." Said the receptionist.

A few seconds later a man picked up the phone and said, "This is Mr. Takato may I ask who I am talking to?"

"Yes my name is Lin you emailed me in regards to Mai Taniyama may I ask what it is in regards to?" I asked as I grew annoied at this drawn out conversation.

"Oh, yes I am so sorry...I was informed by her mother before she passed away that she wanted Miss Taniyama to receive her inheritance when she turned twenty and seeing that it is in just a week and a half I wanted to get in contact with her. Though when I tried to locate her in Japan every thing concerning her was connected to you so I sought to get a hold of you so that I may speak with her." He said.

"Oh well she is no longer in japan she has not been there for two and a half years. She has been living in China since she graduated high school, also she would have no way to get to Japan to meet with you." I said as I looked up who this man was on my computer. I ended up finding out that he is a lawyer from China and has many high class clients.

"Oh well that is good on my part my main branch is actually in China. If it is at all possible would she be able to meet me there?" He asked as I heard some fidgeting through the phone line.

"Yes that would be best for her oh and I will be accompanying her what day does she have to meet you?" I asked as I opened up my personal planner and waited to hear his response.

"That is perfectly fine and she has to come in on her birthday, it is what her mother wrote down on her will." Mr. Takato said as more scribbling could be heard from the phone line.

"Okay we will be there. Thank you and see you then." I said before I hung up the phone. Once I hung up I called my mother and told her what would be happening on Mai's birthday.

My mother then said, "Son you are doing the right thing taking care of this...so when are you going to be here? She is very excited for her birthday."

In response to her question I said, "I know mother and I will be there the day before her birthday. I have received a two week vacation from my boss since he had call me back early last time he thought it would only be fare that I get the time that I had requested then off finally." I said as I started to gather all of my things up and get ready to head back to my home here in England which was only a block away from the office.

"Oh...that is so good, Mai will be so happy to see you again. Did you know that every time she gets off Skype with you she looks and acts like she is depressed but withing minuets she bounces back and is back to her normal happy self. Oh she is also a size seven for your information."said my mother from the other side of the phone line.

"No I didn't mom...but don't tell Mai that I am coming I want it to be a surprise that good mother thank you." I said as I exited my office and headed towards home and I understood what she meant by saying that she was a size seven.

"Okay I won't tell her now good night son it is getting late here and I need to get some sleep." Stated my mother as I heard her yawn.

"Good night mother I love you and will see you soon" I spoke as I approached my door then hung up once I heard my mother hang up on her side of the line. Once I was inside I started to get my stuff ready to head home to China. I remember walking around and packing a bag for the trip, before I made a few phone calls to some people that I knew who had a cleaning service. I t6old them how I would be out of the country for two weeks starting ten days from now. I told them that I would pay extra for them to make sure that during time that I am gone that none of the food goes bad and to make sure the house stays clean. Once those arrangements were made I went online and booked my self a business class ticket to China with one stop on the way there. The days then began to pass by quickly until the day before I would leave, I had informed Noll that I was going on vacation so when I walked into his office around two in the afternoon he looked shocked to see me that was until I said, "Noll I need to leave a little early, I have some thing I need to do before I leave tomorrow."

"Fine do what ever you need to do. Oh and have a good vacation." Said Noll as he looked back at a file on his desk. With his approval I left the office and headed towards a shop that I had seen earlier this week.

Once I arrived there I entered and a woman looked up at me from behind a counter and said, "Hello sir is there anything I can help you with today."

"Yes there is...can you show me which ones would be the best to tell some one you love them more than anything?" I asked as I signaled towards a glass case.

The woman's eyes light up as if this was something she was doing for the first time. "'Oh yes...I know exactly what you mean This way sir." She said as she signaled for me to follow her. "So what quality are you want to go for if I may ask?"

"I only want the best for her." I said while looking at what was in front of me.

"Hum..."Said the woman as she looked through the case than as if she remembered some thing she looked up at me and said, "Wait just a moment I think I have the perfect thing for you." as she turned away from me and went through a door that I can only believe was to the back of the store. She returned a few minuets later caring a small box and as she neared me she said, "We just got this in and it is very high quality but it is also quite expensive." as she set the box down and showed it to me.

"This is perfect I will take it." I said as I looked at the item knowing that there was not going to be anything better for her here than this one.

"Oh okay well then let me just ring you up over here."said the woman as she signaled for me to follow her towards a register. She ten began to proceed with my purchase only for her to look up at me and ask, "Oh and would you like to purchase the warranty encase anything brakes or comes loose it will be fully covered?" I nodded my head as a sing that I wanted to do that. Once she had finished wringing every thing up I though the cost was quite low and I handed her my card. When she saw my card her eyes went wide at from what I am guessing is seeing a black card, which is known to mean I have lost of money. Once she was finished she handed me back the card and placed the item I bought in a bigger box then placed it in a bag and handed it to me and said, "Have a wonderful day and it has been a pleasure doing business with you."

"I looked at her and asked, "Oh can you tell me if you have stores in China or Japan?" I asked as I put my wallet back in my inner jacket pocket.

"Yes we do in both places as a matter of fact." She smiled at me.

"Okay then thank you." I said as I turned and walked out of the store.
