Hey you guys! Thanks again for the reviews: BloddyXandra, CodeHalo, krissy2lip, morningnight, and xSapphirexRosesxFanx! I heart you guys! :)
Mai woke up the next morning to the sound of her alarm going off. She turned it off and got up to take a shower. As she was getting ready to go to work she kept thinking about what Gene had told her the day before.
Flashback:
"And what do you mean "ask him"? He wouldn't come to these kinds of things."
"Why wouldn't he?"
"Are you really asking that Gene? One, Naru has no interest in these kinds of things. Two, he wouldn't talk at all. You should know! He's is your brother after all! And third, he wouldn't want to go with someone like me."
"Oh, come on, Mai. You're fine."
"Yeah, maybe to everyone else but not to him."
"Well do you still have feelings for him?"
"Yeah I do but he doesn't feel the same way." Mai thought sadly
"Are you sure of that?"
End of flashback.
Mai sighed as she finally opened the door to her apartment only to be surprised to see Yasu there waiting for her.
"Yasu! What are you…?"
"Ha-ha! Can't I surprise my girlfriend by giving her a ride to work?" he said as he put his arm around Mai.
"But I thought it was only supposed to be around Naru."
"Well we need to make it more interesting, now don't we." He said he lead Mai to his car.
"You can drive?" Mai asked as she got into his car.
"Wow Mai!" he said as he put his hand over his heart, pretending that he was hurt, and "I'm really hurt that you would ask me that." He got into the car and drove all the way to the office. We talked about how things were and he was telling a Mai a joke as they arrived to the door. Mai burst out laughing as she opened the door. Yasu noticed that Naru was there so he grabbed Mai from the waist as she was laughing and twirled her around. Naru just watched them, as did everyone else.
"If you guys don't mind we have a case to solve. " Naru said coldly as he gave Yasu a cold glare.
"Alright, alright." Yasu said as he placed a kiss on Mai's cheek, leaving her blushing red, sitting down taking her down to sit with him too.
"Mai, tea."
"Yes, Kazuya. Mai got up and walked to the kitchen.
It seems to me like someone is jealous! Mai heard Gene singing in his head.
Oh cut it out Gene! And he's not jealous! Mai said as she started pouring tea into cups. I saw he's annoyed than jealous.
Uh-huh, okay whatever you say. Oh and you better serve another cup of tea the costumer will be here in a minute.
Mai poured another cup of tea and walked outside and gave everyone a cup. Everyone noticed that there was an extra cup, they looked at her with a confuse look. Now walk to the door. I'll tell you when to open it. Mai did as she was told and walked to the door. She placed a hand on the doorknob.
"Mai?" Ayako asked worriedly. Now open the door.Mai opened the door to reveal and old lady standing on the other side of the doorway. Her name is Mrs. Kazumi.
"Welcome Mrs. Kazumi. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please come on in." Mai said with a smile. Everyone, besides Naru, had a shocked look on their face. Mai had to keep herself from laughing.
"What a nice, beautiful young woman you are." Mr. Kazumi said as she sat down. Yasu stood up and handed her the extra cup of tea. "Yes and she's mine." He said as he hugged Mai.
"Mai, tea." Naru said as he held up is now empty cup of tea. Mai was close to yelling at him when she saw Ayako and Masako glaring at her, like they knew that she was about to yell at him. So took a deep breath and smiled as she walked over to him to get his cup.
Touch his hand slightly. Mai was surprised again of Gene just speaking in to her head again that she actually listened to him without knowing, until she realized what she did. She quickly left the room and into the kitchen.
Naru watched as Mai walked into the kitchen. He gently placed a hand over the fingers that Mai's fingers had just brushed against. Her fingers are so soft. He thought as he opened his black notebook.
When Mai came back to the room Naru started to ask his usual questions.
"Mrs. Kazumi I would like you tell me everything that has happened in your house. When did it all start?"
"Well it's not a house anymore. I made it into a wedding hotel. You know where people can get married and have a room to stay in.
"Oh that sounds lovely." Mai said
"Yes it was, but then it was until some brides started disappearing. But not only the brides but sometimes some bridesmaids or guest."
"Does this thing have any reason why it would take the woman away?"
"I have no idea, just that it like woman with long brown hair. Well, actually, it likes to take away that looks like her." She said as she pointed at Mai. Everyone turned to look at Mai. Mai was frightened but she didn't want to show it.
"How many women that looked like me have disappeared?" Mai asked.
"About five but then two more have disappeared when young ladies that look like you haven't been there in a while."
"Thank you Mrs. Kazumi. We'll be there tomorrow 7 am sharp. Please have three bedrooms ready for us."
"Yes. And thank you again." Mai walked the lady out the door. When she walked back in everyone was looking at her.
"What?" she asked. No one said anything. Naru finally stood up, "I'll see everyone here at 6 in the morning. Don't be late." With that he walked in to his office leaving everybody.
Well that's the third chapter! Please review! Tell me what you think! Sucks to be Mai huh. But she has Naru right? And the gang! : )
