Chapter 3: Singing and Talking.
Once everyone had settled in and we had gone exploring, its was ten to twelve and we were just getting out coats on. "You know, I reckon tomorrow we should all go exploring in Lon-d-on." Ayako said struggling on London. I smiled, "Sure, London has so many amazing views and tourist attractions." Ayako was in here with me while Hana waited out side.
"Mai, you've seriously grown,"Ayako stated and I looked at here. "Well, I am a little taller," I said putting my hand above me, I pulled my side bag over my shoulder and let it rest on my right side. Then I giggled at Ayako and sat next to her. She bumped her shoulder with mine and I smiled down at my knee's.
"You know Mai, I couldn't have asked for a more amazing daughter, even if you are adopted." I looked up at Ayako and hugged her hard and she hugged back. A knock at the door made us let go and Hana popped her head around the door. "Come on Mai, they are here," I grinned and stood.
"Bye Mum,." I said and ran over to the door, Ayako waved to me as I shut the door and Hana giggled. "Ready?" she asked and I nodded. She took a Blackberry Torch out her pocket and handed it to me. "This is your schedule today," I looked down and saw I was singing for 4 hours then we were to come back here. "That's it." she nodded as the elevator doors opened.
We stepped inside and I handed the phone back. "Okay, have you got lots of water, four hours of singing is going to hurt." she grinned and nodded. "Yeah, lots, but about and hour of that we will be talking." I sighed in relief, that was good. As the doors opened I put my hand in my side bag and dug around. I had my folder with all my songs on them, along with my two albums I had out now, and three CDs which had all my songs on which I hadn't released yet, I had made up tunes and added the words but I hadn't gave them to Hana yet.
I also had my ipod with all my songs on it and ones I like, plus a pen, tissues and my Blackberry Torch. "Miss Takigawa, this way." I smiled at the man, I had learnt his name was Lewis Bowman and his friend and college was Michael Allen, they and a few others where going to sign me if I was good enough. I was happy. "So, did you settle in well?" Lewis asked and I grinned.
"Yeah, its nice here but I can't wait to start singing." He smiled and opened the door for me.
"Thank You," I said and sat in. Hana followed me, then Lewis and Michael was already sat inside. "Good Afternoon." he said in Japanese and I had only just realised that they spoke in Japanese to us the whole time. "Good Afternoon," I said in my just under perfect English. Hana laughed and Michael chuckled.
The car started and we pulled out of the hotel front. "So, have you got all your songs?" Lewis asked and I nodded and tapped my bag, "Can I?" he asked and I shook my head with a small smile, "You'll have to wait,." he grinned and I put my hands in my lap. "So, where are we going?" I asked and he grinned. "A studio in the middle of London, its called StarStudios. Its well known." I nodded again and the car stopped.
"Ah, nearly there." I nodded and waited for the car to restart again. "Mai, Ayako just text me saying good luck." I smiled and felt my own phone vibrate. I, of course, thought it was Ayako, but, it wasn't. I slid the phone up and put it to my ear, "Hello?" I asked and a high pitch scream filled the phone and I pulled it away from my ear. "Mai-channn." I stared at the phone, glanced at the others who where also staring at the phone and put it back to my ear.
"Yes, and who might this be?" I asked and there was another scream, but quieter. "Its Keiko, how couldn't you have told us you where going to England, we phoned your mum asking and she told us you where in England and gave us your number." I grinned, "Keiko-chan, I'm sorry I forgot, well, I am, its nice, different, but nice and we?" I asked and she giggled, "Yeah, Mirchru and Rei." My mouth formed an 'o' and I giggled, "Oh," the car came to a stop and Hana gestured to end that call as we where here.
"Sorry Keiko, but,i have to go I have got to sing, my mum probably told you about the record dealers, well, I got to go, see you back in Japan so, ne?" I asked and Keiko giggled, "Okay, bye Mai-chan." I smiled, "Bye Keiko-chan." I put the phone down and sighed, "Well, mum certainly didn't waste any time telling my friends." I muttered and Hana laughed as she got out the car.
I followed her and gazed up at the studio. I was lucky there was no press, but, I hadn't told the ones in Japan where I was going and that I was going anywhere, which, gave me at least three days before they will realise. "This way." Lewis said as Michael got out the car and we followed him.
Inside was a studio not that different from the ones back home but these had posters off all different, English or well known, artist like Rihanna, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Leona Lewis, you name it. Oh and that boy group, the one's with that had two good looking guys in it, ah, The Wanted.
"Mai Takigawa, this is Dan, Dan, this is Mai Takigawa, our famous singer in Japan, that can sing in English." I looked up at a man, he like he was in his late thirty's or early forty's. He wore square designer glasses, which framed his dark green eyes, his had had grey in it but it was hardly noticeable, well, maybe it was but he probably was naturally light. He wore a suit with a dark blue dress top and black shoes.
He looked a lot like Naru, and seeing him made her think about Naru, her love- her old love for her famous boss. Yeah, Oliver Davis.
"Well, its good to finally meet you, Miss Takigawa," he said nicely in English and I smiled, "No, the pleasures all mine and please call me Mai, Miss Takigawa makes me sound like an old hag, and we wouldn't want that." he chuckled along with my agent and Lewis. "So, shall we get started?" he asked and I nodded. "Sure."
After they had set everything up and I was in the booth with my head set and everything they had put my CD in and the music filled my head phones and the booth. I grinned and began singing.

Mai stopped and they clapped, "That was amazing, nice song, personal?" Dan asked through the mic and I nodded, "Yeah, its about...an old acquaintance." Hana sighed and I smiled.
"But, its over now so it don't matter, anyway, next song please, I think you like this better," Dan nodded and played the next track.
Heart, beats, fast,
colours,
and promises,
how to be brave,
how can I love,
when I'm afraid,
to fall,
but watching you stand,
alone,
all of my doubt,
suddenly, goes, away somehow,
One, step, closer...
I have died, everyday,
waiting for you,
darling don't be afraid,
I have loved you,
for a thousand years,
I love you,
for a thousand more,
Time, Stands, Still,
Beauty, and oh, she is,
I will be brave,
I will not let anything take, away,
Your standing in front, of me,
Every breathe,
every hour has come today,
One, Step, Closer...
I have died, everyday,
waiting for you,
darling don't be afraid,
I have loved you,
for a thousand years,
I love you,
for a thousand more,
All along, I believed,
I would find you,
Time has brought your heart to me,
I have loved you,
for a thousand years,
I love you
for a thousand more,
One, Step, Closer,
One, Step, Closer,
I have died, everyday,
waiting for you,
darling don't be afraid,
I have loved you,
for a thousand years,
I love you,
for a thousand more,
All along, I believed,
I would find you,
Time has brought your heart to me,
I have loved you,
for a thousand years,
I love you
for a thousand more.
"Sugoi, That's amazing, catchy but also slow and nice, amazing Mai," I grinned and I could see Hana cheer. "Mai, what made you write this song?" I sighed, "That same acquaintance," I muttered but they heard cause of the mic.
"Oh, this 'acquaintance' must have been important," I chuckled and thought about it, "Yeah, he was," Dan perked up, "He," he questioned. I laughed and shook my head, "Next Track," Dan smiled and then pressed a button and the music filled the studio.
Ooh, Oh, Oh,
Ooh,
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Seems like just yesterday,
you were apart of me,
I used to stand so tall,
I used to be so strong,
Your arms around me tight,
everything,
I felt so right,
Unbreakable,
like nothing could go wrong,
Now I can't breathe,
no, I can't sleep,
I'm barely hanging on,
Here I am, once again,
I'm torn into pieces,
Can't deny it,
can't pretend,
Just thought you where the one,
broken up, deep inside,
but you won't get to see the tears I cry,
behind these hazel eyes,
I told you everything,
opened up,
and let you in,
You made me feel alright,
for once in my life,
now all that's left to me,
is what I pretend to be,
and so together,
but so broken up inside,
cause I can't breathe,
now I can't sleep,
I'm barely hanging on,
Here I am, once again,
I'm torn into pieces,
Can't deny it,
can't pretend,
Just thought you where the one,
broken up, deep inside,
but you won't get to see the tears I cry,
behind these hazel eyes,
Swallow me, then,
spit me out,
for hating you,
I'm hating myself,
seeing you,
it kills me now,
No, I don't cry,
on the outside,
Any more,
Any more,
Here I am, once again,
I'm torn into pieces,
Can't deny it,
can't pretend,
Just thought you where the one,
broken up, deep inside,
but you won't get to see the tears I cry,
behind these hazel eyes,
Here I am, once again,
I'm torn into pieces,
Can't deny it,
can't pretend,
Just thought you where the one,
broken up, deep inside,
but you won't get to see the tears I cry,
behind these hazel eyes.
Mai finished and Dan smirked, "The old acquaintance again?" He asked. I smiled, "I guess you could say half of them where influenced by him," Hana muttered something I couldn't hear and I glared at her.
"I sure would like to meet this man, but, hey, we are busy, next song." I grinned, a lot, and then he pressed the next button. I liked this song, a lot.
There where places we would go,
at midnight,
There were secrets that nobody else would know,
There's a reason but, I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I thought that your the one for me,
who's that girl,
where she from,
no, she can't be the one,
that you want, that has stolen my world,
its not real,
its not right,
its my day,
its my night,
by the way,
who's that girl,
living my life,
oh, no,
living my life,
It seems like everything the same,
around me,
When I look again, and,
everything has changed,
I'm not dreaming, so I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I don't know why,
She's everywhere I wanna be,
who's that girl,
where she from,
no, she can't be the one,
that you want, that has stolen my world,
its not real,
its not right,
its my day,
its my night,
by the way,
who's that girl,
living my life,
I'm the one,
who made you laugh,
who made you feel,
who made you sad,
I'm not sorry,
but what we did,
and who we were,
I'm not sorry,
I'm not her,
who's that girl,
where she from,
no, she can't be the one,
that you want, that has stolen my world,
its not real,
its not right,
its my day,
its my night,
by the way,
who's that girl,
living my life,
oh, no,
living my life,
I finished with my eyes closed and and a smile graced my lips, "Well, I think, we have found our, winner, I love your songs but I wanna hear two more, do you have them?" he asked and I squealed and nodded.
He grinned, "Great, take a short break and we can hear those last two." I smiled and nodded and that's just what I did.
An hour was a short break, cause, if it was, I was happy. I couldn't believe it, and I couldn't wait. I was so happy at what Dan had said, he was going to record me, I was going to get a deal in England. I wouldn't see Naru ever again and I would be happy.
What if he saw me?
What would he do?
What would he do if he realises that the songs are about him?
What was I going to do then?
A sigh escaped my lips and I shuddered as the hot tea slipped down my throat. It was a cold December day and Christmas was around the corner, I had a few Christmas songs ideas in mind, but, I wasn't in the mood to write them at the moment.
I sighed, again. I was thinking about Naru, and, it was so annoying, what couldn't I forget him already, he was the past.
He was Naru.
He is Oliver Davis and I was never fit to be in his world.
Somewhere in London.
"Noll, your father is looking for you," a woman of forty stated. She wore a green tee tucked into tracksuit bottoms which where grey. She had her hair in neat bun in the middle of her head with a grey band holding back her dark hair. She had a bottle of water in one hand while she hand her other hand on her hip.
"Noll" she shouted. A adult, a man, in a black clad suit stood at the top of the stairs looking down at his mother. "Yes?"
"Your father wants you." The man, Noll, nodded and he walked down the stairs. His raven hair messy but neat, his deep, blue eyes bore into his mothers as he past her and head to his fathers office. He knocked before he entered and looked at his father.
"Father, you wanted me," Noll stated and his father motioned to the chair in front of his desk. The boy sat down and stared at his dad. His dad and green eyes and had dark hair, but, you could see a few grey hairs, he was only 44 though.
"Noll, you know, we have many sponsors and one of our sponsors is holding a party, a ball, its has many paranormal investigators there, and I want you to meet a few people. But, the ball will be masked. One of our main sponsors, the singing company that take people in that can sing amazingly and have powers, will be there and they want you to meet and dance with their newest singer," His father paused to let him think and he nodded and his father continued.
"She is Japanese and can sing in Japanese, and English." 'Japanese and English' Noll thought, 'Interesting,'
"She arrived today and they are just going through songs, I just got of the phone with Dan, he said she is amazing, and he is positive she has powers, but, he doesn't want to say anything, he is speaking with her agent about it at the moment." Noll, again, nodded and his father continued.
"The ball is in three days, Me, you, Lin, Madoka and Your Mother will all be attending, you need a mask and your best suit, and be ready." Noll smirked at his dad, he knew what he meant by be ready. Noll said his goodbyes and then he left his dad to think about this mystery girl, but with in seconds, he forgot about her and focused on a more important girl, his old assistant.
Mai.
Back at the Studio.
"Mai, are you ready?" Dan asked me and I nodded. Break was over and I was doing my last songs and I had to in mind. "Okay, play." The music began and I tapped to the beat.
There's a place,
that I know,
It's not pretty there and,
few have ever gone,
If I show it to you now,
Will it make you run away,
Or will you stay,
Even if it hurts,
Even if I try to push you out,
Will you return?
And remind me,
who I really am,
Please remind me,
who I really am,
Everybody's got a dark side,
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect,
But we're worth it,
You know that we're worth it,
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Like a diamond,
From black dust,
It's hard to know,
It can become,
A few give up,
So don't give up on me,
Please remind me,
who I really am,
Everybody's got a dark side,
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect,
But we're worth it,
You know that we're worth it,
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Don't run away,
Don't run away,
Just tell me that you will stay,
Promise me you will stay,
Don't run away,
Don't run away,
Just promise me you will stay,
Promise me you will stay,
Will you love me?
Ooh,
Everybody's got a dark side,
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect,
But we're worth it,
You know that we're worth it,
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
I sung my heart out and there was clapping, "Amazing," Dan said through the mic. Hana grinned and gave me the thumbs up and I smiled as they sorted out the next track.
"Okay, last song and then we have to talk." I nodded and he pressed play.
It's the boy who you,
never told I like you,
It's the girl you let,
get away,
It's the one you saw that day,
on the train,
But you freaked out and,
walked away,
It's the plane,
you wanna catch to Vegas,
Things you swear you do,
before you die,
It's the city you love that,
waits for you,
But you're too damn,
scared to fly,
Hit the lights,
Let the music move you,
Lose yourself tonight,
Come alive,
Let the moment take you,
Lose control tonight,
Hit the lights,
Let the music move you,
Lose yourself tonight,
Come alive,
Let the moment take you,
Lose control tonight,
It's the town that you,
totally screwed up,
Still you try to get it,
out your brain,
It's the fight you had,
when you didn't make up,
It's the past that you're dying,
to change,
It's all the money that,
you're saving,
While the good life passes by,
It's all the dreams that never,
came true,
Cause you're too damn,
scared to try
Hit the lights,
Let the music move you,
Lose yourself tonight,
Come alive,
Let the moment take you,
Lose control tonight,
Hit the lights,
Let the music move you,
Lose yourself tonight,
Come alive,
Let the moment take you,
Lose control tonight,
It's a mad, mad world,
Gonna make it escape,
It's a perfect world,
When you go all the way,
Hit the lights,
Let the music move you,
Lose yourself tonight,
So let's go,
(go, go, go),
all the way,
Yeah let's go,
(go, go, go),
night and day
From the floor to the rafters,
People raise your glass,
We could dance forever,
Hit the lights,
Let the music move you,
Lose yourself tonight,
Come alive,
Let the moment take you,
Lose control tonight,
It's a mad, mad world,
Gonna make it escape,
It's a perfect world,
When you go all the way,
Hit the lights,
Let the music move you,
Lose yourself tonight,
I finished and pulled the headphones of my head as the clapped and Hana opened the door. "Well Done." she said in Japanese and I grinned.
"Well, we have things to talk about, and you, must need to get home." I looked at the time, it was nearly 4. "Okay." and we all began talking.
