Hey guys! Sorry that this update took longer than usual, I had a little bit of writers block. Also, in this chapter I used 'Mrs Davis' because...well...that's her name, but I am not sure if I will use Naru as Oliver yet. Sorry. Anyway, ENJOY :)


Meanwhile in England

"Elizabeth! Pack your things! You're going to Japan!" her mother yelled from down stairs. No! Why did mum do this to me?! I don't want to marry him! Elizabeth scowled. She had done everything to stop this from happening and now it was all for nought. When her mum said "it's because you won't earn enough money" she had gone to uni and became one of England's best doctors, when her mother had said "you'll be lonely" she had gone and got a boyfriend and when her mum said "he isn't successful enough for you" she had made him successful. And now you're going to marry someone you never met… "Ok ma'am" Elizabeth said in a monotone voice. As she knelt to get the suit case from under her bed, Elizabeth started to cry. THIS IS NOT FAIR! I WANT TO MARRY SOMEONE I LOVE! "Elizabeth! Mrs Davis will be here in an hour to get you! Hurry up!" her mother yelled again. I don't even know what he looks like… Elizabeth sobbed, covering her eyes with her shaking hands. Why couldn't mum do what Mrs Davis did for her son, and tell me now that she had found somebody, instead of when I was seven? "Darling, stop crying. Trust me, you'll thank me later" her mother smiled down at her. Elizabeth hated her mum but stopped her useless tears and started to pack for her new life.

Back in Japan

Naru squinted up at a relived Lin. Ah! Why is it so bright! Naru thought and shielded his eyes. "I didn't knock loudly, Kazuya" Lin smirked. Naru looked up at Mai and his eyes widened at the brief flashback of last night. "That's one nasty bruise, baby" Naru breathed. "Uh, yeah, it is" Mai blushed. Crap! I called her baby?! Naru winced. Well that was stupid of you wasn't it? Don't say I didn't warn you. His subconscious said. Shut-…Ah my head hurts. Naru felt the world spin underneath him, making him feel nauseated. My mouth is dry and- Naru ran to the bathroom.

Gross! Mai wined. Mai turned and looked at Lin, who was smirking and on the verge of a smile. I hope he vomits in your van she scowled and turned back to the hall. Please tell me he remembers where the toilet is, Mai prayed. "Do you want some tea, Mai?" Lin asked trying to cover his budding smile. Mai turned from the hall and looked to see if Lin was being serious. He was. "Uh, no thanks" Mai said and shook her head in disbelief. Lin turned to go to the kitchen but he stopped as he looked down the hall. OMG! Ha! You have to deal with that! Naru shuffled down the hall, his mouth and hands were covered in vomit. Wait…why am I laughing? I have to clean the toilet. Mai sighed. That's if he even made the toilet. Her subconscious suggested. "You can take him now" Mai groaned.

As it turned out, Naru had made the toilet and that made Mai's job that much easier. Thank god! I don't think I will ever be ready to clean up a puddle of Naru vomit Mai shivered. After flushing the toilet a few times, wiping down the seat and putting some toilet cleaner in the toilet, the only thing she had to do was spray the air freshener before it was like before. That's better Mai smiled.

Naru sat at his desk at SPR, replaying the events of the past two days and winced. Well at least she won't ever like you now his subconscious suggested. "Cause that's good" Naru groaned and ran a hand through his hair. Well now you won't die. Naru heard the pitta-patter of Mai's feet entering SPR and thought Yeah, but I won't live either.

Mai entered Naru's office with his favourite tea and a present. What's that for? "Happy birthday Kazuya!" Mai smiled and handed him the present. She used my actual name, it sound so good coming from her Naru smirked. Mai sat down and waited patiently for Naru to open the present. I totally forgotten about my birthday and yet Mai remembered, how does that work? Naru pondered. Not making excuses but you were drunk his subconscious said. Mai placed the tea down and smiled at Naru like the past two days never happened. "Well come on open it" Mai beamed. Naru looked down at the silver paper and black bow, and could stop the smile that creped its way onto his face. I don't remember the last time I got a present Naru grinned gleefully. He carefully untied the bow and unwrapped the paper.

Naru's mouth fell open when he saw what Mai had gotten him. I really do love you Mai Naru beamed at her. It was a framed photo of the team at the Christmas party last year. Naru studied the photo and couldn't stop the bubble of joy, pride and laughter that formed in his throat. Monk was lying on his hip in front of everyone, Ayako had her foot on Monk's hip like she had killed him, Masako was next to Ayako smiling, John (who had a Santa hat on) was laughing at Mai, who was pulling a face and Naru was staring at Mai lovingly. Gezz, has she seen this photo?! Naru looked up from the photo to see Mai staring at him with so much joy. I wonder if I ran away with you, if my mum would find us. Naru knew the answer to that stupid question but could help liking the idea. "Thank you so much Mai, I love it" Naru said putting the photo on his desk. "Not as much as I love you" Mai whispered to herself, looking at the floor. Naru's jaw nearly fell off and his eyes couldn't get any wider. She loves me?! Naru felt his heart constrict as he replayed what Mai had just said in his head. She loves you… His subconscious wined. Naru didn't know what to do or say, he was just dumbfounded. Knock! Knock! "Um …come in" Naru said very unlike him. Lin entered accompanied by someone he didn't know. "Kazuya, this is Mr Kiryu. He would like us to help him with a case" Lin said eying Naru with suspicion. Oh… "Of course, have a seat" Naru said trying to find his equilibrium. Why now? "Mai would you please get Mr Kiryu some tea" he asked. Mai nodded but didn't look at Naru.
