File 5.
Suspicious Activity.
3rd March.
Day 1.
Mai yawned and got out of the bed, although early, she had school-work, and sadly, even more work as her job implied her to.
In fact, two months had gone by since she had met Naru and the rest now, she looked around the room and caught the old picture of herself with the rest of the team when she was still just fifteen.
"Better start with one thing first then.." she yawned as she ate a quick breakfast, then did her homework, she hadn't bothered with clothes yet, she wanted to take a bath, but that was when she was finished with her math, English and History of Artists work.
When she was finished, she gave the clock a quick glance, 8 am "lucky!" she thought and went over to the bathroom, just then, her phone began to ring and she picked it up without any second thought "yes?" then she froze, there was no answer, the same silence she had heard half a month ago, it scared her and she hung up, throwing the phone onto the couch, she went into the bathtub fast, but the warm and pleasant water still couldn't shake off her fright.
"Mai-chan?" Gene appeared in her mirror, she looked at him and then away "Mai-chan.. what happened?" she slid lower into the bathtub, the foam covering most of her body "silent phone-call.. again" she whispered, making the man's eyes widen quite a bit.
"Mai-chan, maybe you should tell Noll.. he would help!" he said, but Mai shook her head fast "I don't want to worry him.." then she looked up at him "over to something else.. I've always wondered, why do you always grow in the same speed as Oliver, as far as I know your dead right!" Gene laughed "yeah.. I guess that's a good question, well, this is how I would look if I had been alive today, I guess some of my powers allows me to do so.. of course, my real real form is rather young since I died young.. but before you I appear as this!" he posed before her and she burst into a laughter.
He pouted and tried to look offended, but he failed after some seconds as Mai's laughter filled the bathroom.
"I guess your right... hm, oh, I need to hurry now.. I want to get in early, there's work waiting!" Gene smirked "don't overwork yourself now Mai-chan!" she glared him "tell that to your brother Gene!" she puffed her cheeks and made to get up, she glared at Gene and turned away quickly, not daring to look as she grabbed a towel, then he turned when she was covered "hey Gene?" Mai asked, the man blinked at her "yes?" "how come Oliver never told us he was Oliver Davis even though he went under the name Kazuya Shibuya!" this made Gene look thoughtful "hm.. I wonder about that too.. I guess he didn't want to be recognized, since as you know.. even Bou-san is a fan, everyone on the team knew about Davis so I guess it was easier.. and if people knew, they would probably flock around him right!" Mai nodded and left it at that.
Mai quickly made the call to Naru and by the time she had managed to get into her clothes and make it out of her complex, Naru had arrived.
"G-good morning Oliver.." she said as she got into the car, the man smiled and kissed her cheek "good morning Mai!" she turned beet red and nodded, she shut the door and somehow managed to fasten the seatbelt, although clumsily.
Naru looked out of the window and noticed the same shadow again, this made him frown, but lucky him was Mai looked out of the side window to hide her very cute blush, he tugged the wheel and managed to turn the car and speed out on the main-road again, driving towards the office in the same speed as every other time.
In no less than ten minutes, they had arrived at the office and got out of the car once it was parked, Mai followed Naru up the stairs and into the SPR agency, not really thinking about work "Mai?" this voice made Mai jerk her head towards Naru, who was staring back at her, his usual face making her slightly irritated, why? "nothing.." she walked by him and threw her jacket on her chair, but before she could even sit down Naru had told her the usual "tea!" then he had left for his own room, leaving Mai to glare at the door to her boss' office.
"S-stupid, narcissistic, son of a.." Mai turned to make the damn tea when another voice made her stop "um.. excuse" Mai turned around and met a young woman, no more than in her late 20', Mai was sure of that, with shoulder-long, wavy, brown hair and dark, brown eyes and fair skin she looked very beautiful.
"Yes.. do you have an appointment?" Mai asked and pushed the order for tea aside on purpose, after all, clients first "eh.. yes, I'm Furashiwa..Miko.." she smiled, somewhat nervously and Mai nodded, taking her hand and felt cold, very frightening , she looked at the clock and gawked "where did the hours go?" then she smiled "I'll call my boss, please sit down!" she motioned for Miko to sit down on one of the couches and then she walked away, knocking on the door, he heard a reply and opened the door "before you ask for tea Oliver.. our client has arrived" then she left, remembering to make tea.
While she made tea, she got the feeling of being watched again, but ignored it when she heard Naru begin to question Miko, she suspected Lin had arrived as well "oh well, I've got to tell Oliver what I saw!" she turned to leave when she noted the shadow in the glass of the building across of theirs "no.." she whimpered and slid down to the floor, she continued to hear the murmur of their client and Naru.
"Mai!" hands landed on both her shoulders and she flinched, but didn't look up, Naru frowned and looked at Miko "we'll take the case, expect us at 2pm tomorrow.." she nodded and understood that it was for the best to leave, Lin lead her out and quickly came back "Naru.. what.." he stopped, Naru wasn't shaking Mai, who was by all means not on the floor any more.
No, Mai was hiding her face in Naru's shirt, she was shaking and hard sobs emitted from the young woman and Naru's face hardened even more, who dared to make his Mai cry! Lin looked at them, slightly amused by the fact that Naru didn't seem to even try to hide his care for the two years younger assistant or love for that matter "Naru!" he said, Naru just looked at him from the corner of his eyes, they where extremely cold, hateful and angry, if it had been anyone else than Lin, they would've run off, screaming for mercy.
"Mai, come on!" he dragged her into the main room and sat down on the couch, her on his lap, making Lin want to take a picture and give it to the rest of their usual team, just as a joke, but the look in Naru's eyes confirmed that if he did, he would be dead before he managed to scream Naru's a murderer "I believe she's being stalked!" Naru said, as if it was something that happened every day, of course, considering all the ghost's that always seem to stalk Mai on every single case, it wasn't anything new, but it seemed this was a human being.
"Stalked?" Lin was, by all means shocked, after all, Mai was like a little sister, even to him and the fact that she and Naru was probably in a secret relationship didn't make it any simpler.
In fact.. only worse.
Ohoho.. ^3^
Ain't I evil! oh.. anyway..
