Please R&R so I know what you think. I feel like maybe no one's really into reading this and it makes me want to stop writing this... would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Friday

Ari had woken up a few days after they had returned from the case and she was back in working order in no time. A few hours after she woke up really. Mai had visited often to make sure she was okay and Gene was a worry wart trying to get her to stop working so much and just relax.

Two weeks had passed since she woke up and now Naru, Gene, Ari and she were moving her things into Naru's place. Mai was in her room neatly packing her clothing into a suitcase, happy to have things back to normal. She heard Gene talk to Naru. "Hey what do we do with all these kitchen supplies?"

"Just throw them out. I've got plenty and we don't need any more."

"He's lying! He doesn't have much of anything in that kitchen!" She yelled laughing knowing the look on Naru's face.

"I have all the essential kitchen appliances Mai"

"A microwave does not count as essential." She said walking down the hall to the kitchen. She was thirsty and figured some tea would be nice. She smiled at Naru when she walked by him and saw his annoyed expression.

"Unlike you I can cook."

"Unlike me?" She asked curious. "I I recall correctly the last time we ate dinner at either of our places I was the one who did the cooking because you said you didn't bother learning how to cook." She pulled down some glasses and opened the freezer scooping ice into each cup. "I guess Gene learning how to cook wasn't so stupid after all since he knows how to feed himself." She giggled to herself and got out the tea. She knew Naru was now pretty upset with her telling the others about his inability to cook. "But if you say microwave food means you have better cooking skills than I do, then you must be a master chef." She smiled at him brightly as he looked away a scowl on his face and a light blush across his cheeks. She handed Gene and Ari a cup of iced tea and then turned to Naru with his. He took it and said nothing to her as he took a drink. "I've got to finish packing my clothing." She said as she walked out of the kitchen but stopped. "You can go ahead and get rid of everything in here. I packed all the important things for the kitchen already." She grinned at Naru before going back to her room to finish with her clothing.

She had done it just to embarrass him. He had remembered her packing things in the kitchen last night so of course she wouldn't need anything else. He sighed pinching the bridge of his nose trying to calm himself and prevent a headache. She was going to be the death of him, torturing him like this. He would lose his composure and his ability to appear as a cold serious and uptight professional. If she kept it up people will think of him as a teddy bear and his glares would be meaningless. "Damn that girl." He finished packing the living room and made his way back to her room. He glanced around not spotting her, he turned around only to have her bump into him and fall to the floor.

"Ow" She mumbled out before looking up at him. "Oh, hi Naru" She smiled up at him.

"Are you okay?" He reached his hand out and pulled her up.

"I'm fine." She brushed off her skirt and picked up the things she dropped. "Is something wrong Naru?" She asked staring at him. He was staring off into space with a light blush spread across his cheeks. "Naru?" She waved her hand in front of his face trying to bring him back to reality.

Naru couldn't believe what he saw. He was sure she would never do such a thing but it couldn't be impossible.

"Oh! I forgot my clothes in the wash. They must be done now." She quickly tossed her things into her room before running to her laundry room. His eyes followed her before he moved and followed her to the laundry room. He watched her take her clothing out of the washer and as she reached down to grab the last of it his suspicions were finally confirmed. He smirked and walked over to her grabbing her hips and pulling her into him. She looked at him. "Naru?" She questioned but he remained silent. He slid his hand down her thigh then back up underneath her skirt where he cupped her sex causing her to gasp.

"Is there any particular reason you're not wearing any underwear?" He whispered into her ear making her shiver.

"I-I, They're in the –the wash." She replied as his hand moved his fingers teasing her. She gasped lightly letting out a small moan.

Naru smirked at her and began kissing and nipping her neck before moving to her lips, claiming them in a passionate kiss. He took her arm lifting it he placed it around his neck then slid his hand along her side and then up her shirt where he took hold of her breast and began massaging and teasing her. She moaned into his kisses as he touched her, teased her.

Ari was walking carrying a few things to put into the boxes when she saw Naru and Mai making out and noticed their position. She sighed, they didn't know the word modesty. She cleared her throat. "Noll, stop molesting your girlfriend and help pack." She smirked at them and walked away.

Naru and Mai froze when Ari cleared her throat. After her comment Mai ended up turning red and Naru merely smirked before kissing her and removing his hands from her body. "We'll finish this later." He whispered before kissing her on the cheek and heading to the bathroom to wash his hands. Mai was frozen for a moment before she decided to finish the laundry. Once it was in the dryer and drying she headed to her room to finish packing. Once all her suitcases were full she closed them and smiled. She glanced around her room and noticed her necklace laying on her dresser. She walked over and picked it up using her mirror she clasped it and adjusted it. It was one of her favorite pieces of jewelry and she wore it often.

Naru knocked on her door and entered giving her a small smile. "All finished?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her again, resting his head on hers.

"You're not going to molest me again are you?" She asked giggling at him when he frowned slightly.

"Do you want me to?" he smirked at her blushing face. His eyes saw the necklace and his expression changed. He had seen it somewhere but couldn't remember where. He frowned a little. "Where did you get that necklace?"

"Huh?"

"The necklace where did you get it?"

"Oh, Ari. She bought it for me the day we went out. There was this place that had buildings from England and we went and explored it. Ari said she got it from the gift shop and thought it's suit me. Though I don't know how." Mai said giggling. "Gene asked me the same thing right before he we found out Ari was missing."

"He must have remembered." Naru mumbled.

"Huh?"

'Nothing, Mai." He kissed her head and pulled away to grab her suitcases. "By the way." He turned to her. "That was not bought at a gift shop, it's not cheap looking like you'd see at one."

"What?" Mai looked at him slightly panicked.

Naru said nothing as he lifted the suitcases from her bed. He walked out of the room still trying to figure out where he had seen the necklace before. He walked out of her apartment following Gene and Ari as they headed to the van to put Mai's stuff in. He turned calling Gene's name to catch his attention. "Mai told me about how you had the same reaction did when you saw her necklace."

Gene looked at him. "You mean stare at it and wonder where she got it and why it looked familiar?" Naru nodded his head. "She got it from Ari when they were out."

"I know, what I want to know is if you knew why it seemed so familiar?"

Gene shook his head. " I couldn't tell you. I haven't been able to place it since I saw it." Gene looked in the direction of Mai's apartment. "I've been thinking about asking Ari why she bought it for her but it's slipped my mind since I've been worrying about Ari and all." Naru said nothing but walked to Mai's apartment to finish putting things in the van.

Mai had watched Naru leave in silence and wondered why he and Gene had the same reaction about her necklace. She shook her head and began gathering her things taking them to the van. She noticed Gene and Naru talking to each other but didn't say anything as she passed them. When she saw Ari a smile lit her face and she walked over to the girl. "Thank you for helping me."

Ari looked up at the girl and let a small content smile appear before looking at the necklace she was wearing. "I'm glad you like it so much."

"Huh?" Mai noticed she was looking at the necklace. "Oh" Mai smiled. "I like it very much it's one of my favorites."

"Is it now?" Ari smirked a little and motioned for Mai to follow her so she could put the box in the van. "I'm glad it means a lot to you."

"Ari, c-can I ask you something?"

Ari smiled a little having a feeling she knew what she was going to ask. Naru must have noticed it and probably told her. "It's real Mai." She said and turned towards her. "I've had it for a little while and when I saw something similar at the gift shop I decided I wanted to give it to you." Mai blushed a little and Ari smiled. "Come on let's finish putting you things into the van and get you to Noll's place so you can get to unpacking."

Mai smiled at her and followed her into the apartment and not long after Naru and Gene came back and they finished putting all of Mai's things in the van. Mai gave her key to the manager and smiled thanking her. The woman told her if she ever needed to come back she could and Mai thanked her again before going to the van and sitting by Gene talking with him as they drove thirty minutes to Naru's place.

Monday

The weekend went by quickly and Mai was settled in for the most part. She still had a few boxes left to unpack but nothing that was too important. She ended up putting quite a bit in storage since she didn't want to take up a lot of space in Naru's place. She had placed her important pictures on the nightstand on her side of the bed and she had half of the closet and of course had some things in the bathroom and the kitchen. After some argument with Naru about how it was her place as well she could have more stuff out and her saying that she felt uncomfortable about it since she had never lived with anyone before. Of course Naru offered for them to go and look at places together so that it would be less uncomfortable and Mai felt even worse for troubling Naru, who of course ended up sighing, pinching the bridge of his nose frustrated with his girlfriend.

It was now Monday and Mai sat at her desk working on some filing as she did every day. She was blushing as she remembered what a catastrophe this morning was. She first woke up and automatically headed to the bathroom where Naru was, standing in nothing but a towel while brushing his teeth. She blushed and apologized profusely. Next came when she had gotten out of the shower, on a normal basis she would just walk to her room in the towel and dress there, but today she had entered the room and about died when she saw Naru in just his boxers. She had quickly grabbed her clothing and ran back to the bathroom. After that embarrassment she and Naru were on their way into the office when she tripped on the top stairs falling over and exposing the fact that in her rush to escape Naru after her shower she had forgotten her panties. Mai let out a sigh feeling miserable. After she tripped Naru pulled her up roughly, pulled her into the office and then went to his slamming the door closed behind him.

She sighed again feeling even worse. Naru must have been angry with her about this morning since she kept making so many mistakes, walking in on him and everything. She let out a groan as she rested her head on her desk. "Maybe moving in together wasn't such a good idea." She mumbled out. "If all I'm going to do is embarrass myself and make Naru mad what's the point?" Mai wrapped her arms around her waist as she closed her eyes trying to get rid of the embarrassment that happened this morning. She was hoping it wouldn't become a daily thing otherwise she would never be able to live with Naru.

"You really are an idiot aren't you."

Mai's eyes opened as she quickly sat up stiffening. "I wasn't going to sleep."

"Come to my office." He paused a moment. "With tea."

Mai sighed feeling like she was going to be scolded for what happened. Even if they were girlfriend and boyfriend and they did do a few intimate things here and there walking in on him naked wasn't exactly the greatest thing to do. She tried to slowly make his tea but that didn't work out too well and walking slowly to his office meant cold tea, a glare and told to do it again and to stop wasting his tea. She sighed softly and entered his office carrying his tea carefully so she wouldn't spill any. After placing it on his desk the way he liked it she turned to leave.

"I didn't say you could leave." He said distractedly.

Mai turned back around and approached his desk waiting for whatever was coming next. He stopped working and set his pen down and indicated for her to come to him. She did and sat in his lap waiting again. He wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to him. Resting his head atop hers.

"Don't worry about this morning. I'm not mad at you. Highly amused, but not mad."

"But at the office – you seemed angry and slammed the door to your office and everything."

Naru blushed as he remembered seeing up her skirt and being able to see she wasn't wearing anything underneath. He cleared his throat. "That was because I was embarrassed." He cleared his throat again. "It's not very often you see your girlfriend without any underwear on while she's wearing a skirt."

Mai noticed he had become a bit stiff as he talked about it and how he cleared his throat to keep himself from stuttering. She turned and looked at him noticing he held a light tint of pink on his cheeks.

"And when you're a male who has been recently introduced to the hormonal side of being a human it becomes rather difficult to control ones thoughts and the reactions of your anatomy."

Mai stared at him before bursting out laughing at how professional he was trying to be about it all and how cute he was when he blushed trying to be professional. She couldn't stop laughing at it. She calmed a bit knowing he was even more embarrassed. She looked at him giggling. "So are you saying that knowing I have no underwear on turns you on?" She asked as she turned in his lap straddling him. "Thinking such naughty things about your assistant are we now?" She smirked at the darkening blush, wrapping her arms around him she kissed him. "You're so cute when your embarrassed and blushing like that."

"I wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for you." Naru grumbled out and Mai giggled more.

"I love you." She pressed her lips to his in a chaste kiss before kissing along his jaw down the side of his neck then back up to his ear where she took it between her teeth and slide them along it sending shivers up and down his spine as he gripped Mai's hips.

"Are you trying to murder me?"

"Through a constant state of arousal with no satisfaction?" She grinned. "Of course not." She returned to kissing, nipping and sucking on his neck going lower so she could leave a mark on him.

The door bell chimed as they entered the office looking around Gene didn't see Mai and he pouted. He flopped down on the couch and Ari sat down gracefully beside him. "If you keep that up you'll end up having to buy Naru a new sofa."

"I don't care." He grumbled. "I don't see why we came here. We're not going to be going on any cases until your better."

Ari sighed softly but just as she was about to speak Mai left Naru's office with a smirk on her face. Ari rose an eyebrow at the girl wondering what she did. Shaking her head she smiled and greeted Mai. "Afternoon Mai." Said girl looked up at her and she her aura changed quickly as she smiled brightly at them. Skipping over to them and sitting across from them in Naru's seat.

"Afternoon Ari, Gene."

"How are you?"

Mai's aura changed as she grinned a bit evilly. "Oh, I'm just fine. Perfectly fine, but I wouldn't bother to ask how Naru is when he comes out." She paused smirking. "Then again you may get some amusement out of it watching him blush and become flustered." She turned her attention to the two. "Would you like some tea?"

"Yes."

"Gene?"

"Iced tea for me."

"Sure thing." Mai got up from the chair and happily made her way to the kitchenette to make their tea. She made Naru a fresh cup as well knowing he'd be out of his office soon to let Ari and Gene know they had a case. After making the tea she carried the tray out to the main office and set the tea cups down in front of Naru and Ari and placed Gene's cup on a coaster before setting her own down on a coaster as well. She returned to the kitchenette a smile on her face. She and Naru walked beside each other and she glanced at him seeing him blush a little. "How unlike you Naru." Mai commented. "Did you come to work with a fever or is there a reason your face is so flushed?" Mai sat down beside Gene pulling her legs up onto the couch and to the side. It was like a complete role reversal today. Today after the embarrassment she had been teasing him and he was the one blushing and flustered. It was very unusual but it was too fun to pass up. It wasn't like Naru was inhuman, no he was just wound up so tight he had become practically inhuman but since dating he had been showing her more and more emotions, which she was starting to like. It meant that things could work out very well between them. She came back into the conversation missing basically all of it. She looked to see Gene and Ari arguing.

"You are not going and that's final." Gene was angry.

"You're my brother not my father. You can't decided what I do and when I do it. If I go on a case then I'm going to go on a case. This is something I don't want to pass up on."

"What about our research?"

"We're at a dead end Gene. I think this will help us in recharging and allowing a break so both of us can concentrate when we return to Japan."

"Return to Japan?" Mai thought. She really did miss some important details.

"No, I'm not allowing you to go." Gene growled out.

The door bell chimed and a woman entered the office. Mai knew who it was and now they were in for a world of confusion and trouble.

"Gene, I am going and there is nothing you can say or do to stop me. Now stop acting like a child."

"I am not a child."

"I didn't say you were, I said stop acting like one. Now, we will come back here tomorrow to meet with the client and have everything solved then."

"You're not capable of going! What if you get hurt? What am I going to do then?"

"idiot." She let out a sigh. "I'll be perfectly fine Gene. I always am and always will be."Gene remained silent.

Suddenly there was a thud and all four of them looked over to see the woman had fainted. Mai glared at Naru knowing he didn't say anything she then sighed. Who knew Modoka was going to be coming today?

YAY I DID TWO CHAPTER UPDATES I FEEL SO PROUD! :D
