I would like to give an extra thanks to dianaloveanime for suggesting the idea for this whole chapter! Thank you so much!
"Good! Now, before you go, I want all your numbers so I can get in touch" Ayako demanded. Mai nodded, then looked down.
"Actually... I thought it would be just me and Yasu. I don't want to drag anyone else into this..." Mai confessed, looking at the twins apologetically.
"I can look after Mai, you guys can go home if you like. I will be here all day" Yasu told then, expecting them to refuse. Gene nodded, picking up his belongings and walking up to Mai. He pulled her in a gentle hug, before leaving. Naru glared at the back of his bothers head, before Mai ran to hug him. He really didn't expect it. He hugged her back after a few seconds. Mai then pulled away, reluctantly, her hand brushing down his arm when she dropped it. She smiled before turning away.
The twins left, and Yasu signed the papers. After a few seconds, Mai was good to go...
The brothers walked out the building, both wishing Mai wanted them by her side. They were about to walk down the road, to the apartment, then...
"I'm going to follow her" Gene suggested. Naru looked at him as if he had lost it.
"You can't be serious" Naru exclaimed, his voice sounded grim.
"I'm following her, you can go back if you want" Gene suggested, walking down the ally of the hospital, so when Mai passed him, he wouldn't be noticed. Naru growled, debating on what to do, when the hospital doors opened. Mai and Yasu walked out, their arms linked. Naru stepped back so he was also in the ally. He didn't like how close they were. It bothered him. He joined Gene near the other end of the ally, sighing in defeat.
"I'm not doing this because you are" Naru growled, standing next to his twin.
"Keep telling yourself that" Gene muttered, hiding his smirk. Naru ignored him, watching as his brothers face soured at the sight of Yasu and Mai. He would have smirked himself, if it didn't bother him as well. The boys waited a few minutes, before coming out of their hiding spaces...
Mai and Yasu were walking arm in arm. Mai was skipping, her smile more forced than normal. They walked to the closest flower shop. Mai gazed at the daffodils and tulips that decorated the shop from the outside. They walked in, and Mai wondered round in glee, seeing all the flowers in every colour. Mai looked at the roses, looking longingly at the pink ones. She had always loved flowers, but roses were her favourite.
"Hey Mai! What about this one?" Yasu called, pointing to a pile of bouquets, mostly pink, yellow and white roses. Mai smiled, nodding in approval. She picked up two, and went to pay. Yasu followed after her. He picked up two white roses and a pink one. He watched Mai pay, and while she wasn't watching, he went to the other counter, and paid for the flowers he had. He held them behind his back, waiting for Mai. She skipped over to him, holding the bouquets in brown paper bags. A smile graced her lips. Yasu pulled the flowers from behind him. He held the white ones in his left, and the pink in his right. Mai tilted her head to the side, looking adorable as she did so. Yasu smiled, holding out the pink one to her.
"What's that for?" She asked, reaching out for the pink rose.
"For you baka" Yasu informed. Mai huffed.
"Thank you, but can you stop calling me baka?" Mai requested, looking at the rose, her eye's full of childish wonder.
She wasn't aware that she was being watched. But just round the corner, Naru and Gene stood. They were mostly glaring at Yasu in petty jealousy, and trying to ignore the hoard of girls gazing at them. The braver ones were the problems though. Some of them approaching, asking for numbers, and others just flirting. Naru had left his brother to deal with them. While Gene was too nice to ignore them outright, Naru wasn't.
Mai and Yasu were moving again, but this time, Mai's hand were full. So they didn't link arms. For that, the twins were grateful. They carried on following until Mai and Yasu reached the graveyard. Mai's smile had faded somewhat, but she still managed to keep it. It didn't matter that it was a sad smile, it was a smile none-the-less. She was about to reach the graves, when she noticed someone knelt down beside her parents graves.
"John?" She called. The boy looked up, smiled, and placed down the white roses, before getting up to greet them.
"Mai! Yasu! I haven't seen you two in a while!" John exclaimed in a thick Australian accent. When he reached them, he pulled Mai into a hug. One Mai quickly returned.
"What are you doing here?" Mai asked, looking at the flowers he had laid on her parents graves.
"I came to pay my respects to your parents" John told her, his voice as soft as the smile he sported. Mai practically beamed.
The twins were close enough to hear the whole conversation clearly. And they weren't the happiest with Mai's closeness with yet another guy.
"Thank you, I really appreciate it" Mai thanked, smiling and wiping her eyes.
"You ok Mai?" John asked, seeing Mai tear up. Mai nodded, smiling again.
"Yes, I'm fine" Then instead of continuing the conversation, she walked to the graves and knelt down where John had been moments before. She took the bouquets out the bags, placing one on each grave. Her head was down, so no one could see her crying. Yasu walked up behind her, placing down the white roses he had brought.
"Mr and Mrs Taniyama" He started, placing a hand on Mai's shoulder "I never got to meet you personally, but I have heard a lot about you from Mai... You raised a wonderful child, and I know you would be proud of her" Mai smiled, though she didn't look up.
"Can you give me a minute please?" Mai asked, still not looking up. Yasu nodded, even though Mai couldn't see him. He and John then walked to a bench, that was just about in view. Once Mai was sure they were gone, she looked up. "Hi mum, dad... I miss you. I'm sorry I didn't visit over last month. I was in a coma, but I'm ok now..." Mai paused, looking around to make sure no one was there. She felt like there was people near by... it was the same strange feeling she had at the hospital... But Mai doubted that anyone would have followed her. "I met someone" She confessed. Both Gene's and Naru's interests were peaked. Mai didn't like the feeling in her gut anymore. It was silently willing her to stop. "I have to go now, but I miss you, and I will visit you soon" Mai told them, before standing up and dusting off her clothes. She bowed deeply, before taking the bags that held the flowers, and running back to Yasu and John.
Once Mai was out of sight, both Gene and Naru came out of their hiding spots. They approached the graves. As if rehearsed, both twins bowed, paying their respects...
Hey! That is chapter 11... how many more... I don't have a clue XD I would like to thank again dianaloveanime for there idea to have Mai tell the twins they can't come with her, and to have John be there putting flowers on the graves! Please R&R to tell me what you thought!
