(Lin's POV)

As I pulled out of the hug I looked down at Mayune and said, "Do you know how worried I was, when I didn't receive a call this morning? I thought something happened to you."

"Oh Koujo...I am so sorry that I made you worry." Said Mayune as she placed her hands on my my cheeks, before she pulled my head down to kiss her. After our lips touched Mayune pulled away and pressed our foreheads together as she whispered, "I promise to call you every day, for as long as I live but on days that you are near me I will show you how I feel even if it is through just a kiss."

I then said, "I will never stop worrying about you...not even after out wedding will I stop, because you are my ling hun ban lv and I don't want to lose you ever." As I told her she was my sole mate she began to cry with a smile on her face. I placed a kiss on her forehead before I backed away from her, it was then that I noticed that she was wearing a pair of dark blue skinny jeans with a black tank top and a gray sweater that said Nanjing University, and she wore a pair of gray tennis shoes, while her hair was pulled up into a ponytail. I smiled at her sweater because she was so happy that she was able to graduate from there in a year and a half with a Masters degrees in Enterprise Management, National Economics, and Technical Economics and Management. As I stared at her the others in the room were becoming agitated at being ignored.

"Lin what does she mean she is your fiancee, when did you get engaged?" asked Noll as he watched me look at the others in the room.

"I got engaged about four and a half years ago. It was during my two week vacation." I responded as I watched him for a reaction.

"How long had you been dating her before you asked for her hand?" questioned Madoka as she placed her hands on her hip.

"We dated for two years before I asked for her hand." I stated in a monotone voice as I stared her in the eyes. I watched her eyes go wide at this.

She then asked. "How long after we broke up did you get with her? Also are your parents going to allow you to Marry her?"

"It was almost a year after we broke up that I got with her, and yes my parents approve of this marriage." As these words left my mouth hers dropped open at hearing that Mayune was accepted by my parents.

"What makes her so perfect that caused your parents like her?" questioned Madoka as sadness began to drip into her voice.

Though before I could mutter a word Mayune said, "They accepted me because I wanted to become a proper Chinese woman and to get in touch with my Chinese heritage. I did that training while I was learning to control my growing powers that as his father said, 'Surpassed both of Oliver's and even Eugen powers combined', then over the course of the two years away from him I gained more powers. I can now fully control them and I have passed his mother's training to become a proper Chinese woman. So Madoka if I were you I'd get off the jealousy train because jealousy can only darken ones sole. Plus nothing you can say to Koujo or my self will break up our relationship because we are happy with how things are and all we want is to be closer through marriage." I watched as Mayune spoke to Madoka and then as if a light flicked in Madoka's eyes I saw realization appear.

"Wait a minuet..." Madoka said as she approached Mayune and began to circle her before saying, "I know you..." and before either my self or Mayune could say anything she said, "you two do look very similar..." as she turned her head she said, "No it couldn't be..." as she got in Mayune's face and whispered, "you can't be...Mai!" She shouted as she backed away from Mayune as her eyes widened even more if at all possible. I stood there not showing any emotion and knowing Mayune she kept hers in as well giving no hint if she was right or wrong in her guess.

Then as if to ignore her Mayune turned and looked at me and said, "I want to go home...plus this is annoying, you can tell them if you want but I am done here I need to go home and get some rest plus I am really hungry."

I watched her eyes and saw some fear at the surface and I responded, "I understand but I will only tell them when you are ready, and don't leave I will take you home since we both will be going there and when we get there I will make dinner."

She smiled at me as she said, "Oh Koujo...you spoil me so much and I know I could never have asked for a better man to fall in love with. I will see you in the car pleas hurry." she went up on her toes and kissed my cheek before she turned to her team and said " Pack everything up and head to the house address I gave you, all of you will be staying in my guest rooms." When she said that I knew that we would end up sharing a room and I was just fine with that. Then just as she walked out she said, "If only any of you understood how right you are, then you would be sorry at how you treated me, especially since I don't like being abandoned by people I thought were family."

I listened to her foot steps until I could not longer hear them before turning to the SPR team as LPRS started to pack up and I said, "I am heading home..." I then looked at Madoka and said, "And you need to understand that the way my life is makes me happy, don't be rude to her again..." As I scanned my eyes over the other members of SPR I said, "You won't find Mai if you push, if she wanted to come back she would be here so don't force things on Mayune just because you wish her to be someone she isn't." I turned on my heal as I thought I wonder if she will ever tell them who she really is? I exited the building and saw Mayune sitting in the passenger seat of one of the vans that they had brought over. When I got in I asked her, "Will all of your equipment fit in one van or do they need both?"

"We need to wait they have to put a few in here so all of them can fit in the other van." stated Mayune as she looked at her ring before she whispered, "I can't believe that we are getting married in only a month and a half I can't wait to be your wife." as she looked up at me. Then we heard a bang on the back door and unlocked it and saw all eight of her members holding boxes and some folded up cots.

They then began loading the boxes and the other stuff in to the van and once that was done they closed the door went to head back up and wave as one of them shouted "See you when we get there!" as the waved good by.

I turned to Mayune and asked, "Is that all that needs to be loaded in here?"

"Yep now they only have two boxes to load into the other one. That van is a lot bigger than this one it has four rows of seats." She said as she pointed her thumb a the van next to us.

I looked at the van and was slightly surprised at how big it was, "Did you buy it?" I ten backed out and headed towards home.

"Yeah since I am opening a LPRS here in the city and I know that we will get many cases. I actual bought two but they are bringing my other one to the dealers sometime this week, until then they gave me this one as a rental. Oh Koujo what are you making for dinner?" Said Mayune as she grabbed my hand and intertwined our finger together.

I smiled and answered, "I am making Fried rice, lo mein, and some Garlic-Sesame Sole. If you want dessert I can make green tea cheese cake and some home made fortune cookies some dipped in chocolate. " I looked over at her as we came to a stop sign and saw her lick he lips. I smiled at seeing her do that, and turned back to face the road then check iif it was clear and proceeded on our way back to the house.

Soon after we left the stop sign Mayune said, "Sakura." and the said shiki appeared in the back seat in human form.

"Yes mistress, what can I do for you?" Sakura said as she bowed her had.

Mayune then said, "Sakura I told you to call me Mayune and not to bow to me."

"I am sorry but I prefer to call you that because of my respect for you and your family, so pleas do not take that away from me. Now what may I do for you mistress?" Said Sakura as she said that to Mayune.

"Fine...do as you pleas...but I summoned you to ask you if you could get the ingredients fried rice, lo mein, and some garlic-sesame sole and the ingredients to make green tea cheese cake, along with the ingredients to make fortune cookies and some chocolate morsels that can be melted down to dip them in would you be able to have them at the house by the time we get there in the quantity needed for about eleven people pleas?" Asked Mayune as she turned around to face Sakura.

When she asked Sakura that I was stunned, "Mayune why are you having her do that?"

"There is no food in the house the food that has been made for you was bought my shiki before you got there, and I had one of them show you the place and talk to one of them and ask them to make food for you. Tomorrow we will go grocery shopping and get food for the house we can't do it tonight it would take us to long to get there she could get there long before we would, is that alright with you?" Asked Mayune as she watched my profile. As I thought her reasoning over I looked at the clock and saw that she was right.

"Fine but don't use them for such useless task that can be done the next day." I said as I took a quick glance at Sakura in the back seat.

As I did that she nodded her head, before she said, "I would be happy to young miss...you never ask me or the others to do things for you as often as I want you to and so for you to ask me to do this I am thankful." she said right before she disappeared from the back seat. As I looked back at the clock it showed that we had another thirty minuets before we get to the house. When we were about twenty-five minuets away from the house I felt Mayune's head fall against my shoulder. I decided that I would allow her to take a nap until we get to the house.

"Hay you need to wake up we are coming up to the house." I said as I shook my shoulder trying to wake her up from her nap.

"Mmmm...what are we home yet?" she mumbled as she stretched out her legs in the car before siting up straight to look out the front window right as I pulled up to the front of the house. At seeing that we are in front of the house and she unbuckled her seat belt and opened her door. I quickly got out of the van and went to her side to help her out of the car as I reached her I could tell that she was fully awake. I gave her my hand as she stood up and smiled up at me. Once we were inside we walked into the kitchen and inside there stood Sakura setting ingredients out for each recipe. When she saw us she nodded her head and went and got out the bowls and other stuff I will need to cook dinner as soon as she finished doing that she vanished from the kitchen. When I was half way through cooking the desserts since the main dishes were staying warm in the oven there was buzz of the front gate bell, I watched as Mayune went and answered the buzz by saying, "Lau residence...Who am I talking to?" I continued to make the fortune cookies as I watched her stand next to the buzzard as she stood there I set the last of the home made fortune cookies off to the side to fully cool down.

"Hay boss...it's good to hear your voice again. Can we come in?" Said Kikyo as her voice came through the speaker. I smiled as I watched Mayune pressed the access button that allowed them to enter the front gate as I continued to finish up the desserts by melting down the chocolate to dip the fortune cookies in. Mayune helped me set the table up before there was a knock on the door, and before either of us could set the dishes down on the table lăohŭ went and answered the door letting the rest LPRS in.

Mayune Said, "Lăohŭ, pleas show them to their rooms and once they are settled in pleas bring them back down for dinner."

"Will do my lady." Said Lăohŭ as he nodded at us before signaling for the others to follow him to their room.

"Thank you Lăohŭ." Yelled Mayune as all of them disappeared up the stairs. Mayune and I finished setting the table and bringing the food to the table. Once everything was on the table the others walked into the dining room and Mayune went up to each and every single one of them and hugged them before she lead them to their seats. She then sat in the seat next to me as I served both of us food and passed the food around the table.

As Mayune passed the garlic-sesame sole to Michel she asked, "So what took you guys so long to get here?"

"Oh...well the other team, wanted to know about you and why Lin didn't tell them about you." Said Daquan as he grabbed the garlic-sesame sole dish from Kikyo and served him self a piece before passing it to Lenalee.

When he said this Mayune stopped moving and looked up at me before looking at him and asking, "What did you tell them?"

"We told them, that you are a very important person and that you are an amazing person who has helped many people including almost all of us, and that you gave us jobs when you saw potential in us and that you have been like a sister to all of us." Said Daguan as he cut a piece of sole and eat it. "They kept on trying to find out about you, but I just told them to ask you if they want to know more about you Mayune. Then the woman named Madoka asked if you where a person name Mai and if the engagement between you and Lin was true, I told her the same thing that I told the others." He said as he cut another piece of sole before placing it in his mouth.

Mayune smiled at his and said, "Thank you for telling them that, and I know that all of you know who I was before my twentieth birthday. I made sure that you knew so that we could trust each other without there being secrets kept from each other." After she said that she looked down at her plate that had a little bit of garlic-sesame sole left on it, since she had eaten all of her other food first before she at the sole. She ate the last piece as every other member nodded their head in agreement that they understood that it was okay with what they told SPR. I heard Kira mumble something that made every one at the table including Mayune laugh, I was so focused on watching Mayune that the whole conversation just fell on deaf ears as I watched her reaction with the rest of the members of LPRS. Once we were done with dinner and dessert Mayune told the others, "Alright it is getting late we need to get to bed so every one head back to your rooms and get some sleep we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." She stood up and grabbed my hand and started to drag me to our room as she wave good night to the others.

Once we reached our room Mayune locked the door and hugged me close as she took in a deep breath. As she pulled back she smiled up at me and kissed my cheek before turning away and began to take off her shirt. Though before she took it off all the way she opened her suit case and pulled out her pajamas and put the top on and pulled her top out from under it. She walked into the bath room as she looked over her shoulder as she gave me a flirtatious smile before closing the door to change into her pajama bottoms. I quickly changed out of my suit and changed into a set of pajama pants without a tee shirt and before I could climb into bed Mayune walked out of the bath room. She whistled with a crooked grin on her lips as she saw me beginning to climb into the bed before she walked up to me and climbed into the bed before pulling me in after her. Once we were both under the sheets she snuggled up to me and placed her head on my chest as I enclosed her in my arms and fell in to a deep sleep as I felt her breathing even out, I let a smile slip on to my face as she snuggled deeper into me as she kissed my neck before fading into sleep. I wish that I had known that this would be one of the few peaceful moments that I would have in this next week and that all of them would be with Mayune only.
