MAI'S P.o.V

I sat staring out the window, listening to the sound of the wheels against the gravel. I felt my heart pick up as the surroundings became more and more familiar. I wondered how many people still lived in that apartment. It had been across the street from my old house, and it was where all of my old friends had lived. Maybe I could visit my old teacher? I smiled at all the thoughts and didn't even realize when the van had come to a stop.

"Mai, are you going to get out and unload the equipment, or are you just going to sit there all day?"

I jumped up at the sound of Naru's voice and jumped out of the van, "Sorry, sorry! I was lost in thought."

He smirked, "Don't you have to think in order to be lost in thought."

"Why you…"

"Hello there, are you the people who Azuke-san called?"

I turned around and felt my heart jump out of my chest, the woman who was standing in front of me was my mother's best friend. "Hikari-san?"

She squinted at me and I saw realization take over her eyes, "Mai-Chan? Is that really you? My you've grown into a beautiful young woman!"

I pushed past Naru and wrapped my arms around her, trying not to let tears fall. When my mother had passed the first thing I had done was run over to her house. She had been my rock the entire time. I had been extremely grateful to my teacher for taking me in, but I don't think I would have survived if I hadn't had her.

"How have you been?" I asked squeezing her tighter.

"Great. I had no idea that you worked with them. I'm so happy to see you."

Naru put his hand on my shoulder and I turned to look at him, "N-Naru?"

"I hate to cut this reunion short but we need to get the equipment into the base. I will head there now, hopefully you won't manage to get lost in a place you have been at so often."

I held back the comment I was going to say and hugged Hikari one last time, "I'll see you soon."

She smiled, "Of course, oh I will have to let Kimi-kun know that you have arrived, she will be so excited."

She kissed my forehead and walked towards the building gesturing Naru to follow her. I smiled and began unloading the van.

NORMAL P.o.V

Oliver followed the woman called Hikari down the hall just barley listening to her talking.

"Shibuya-san?"

Oliver left his thoughts realizing she had asked him a question, "I apologize, could you repeat that?"

The woman gave a soft chuckle, "I asked how long has Mai-Chan worked for you?"

"About two years now I believe."

The woman nodded and the rest of the walk was silent. Oliver was tempted to ask questions about how Mai had been as a child, but he realized she would wonder about their relationship. Did they even have a relationship?

"Here is your base Shibuya-san. The two rooms you requested are on either side of it."

"Thank you." He nodded.

Oliver sat on the couch and looked into the case file, trying to decide where to start. He figured he may as well have the priestess and Bou-san interview the people who have seen things. That way he would get results, and he wouldn't have to be around for their bickering.

"Naru."

Oliver looked up to see that Mai was in front of him, mere inches from his face, "Are you alright?"

Oliver tried his hardest to contain the blush that was rising onto his cheeks, "Yes, why do you ask?"

Mai got a little closer, "You just seemed, I don't know, stressed."

Oliver smiled and brushed his lips onto Mai's, "Would you like to fix that?"

Mai's face turned scarlet, but she didn't move away, which made Oliver smile at her. He bit her lower lip then ran his tongue over it.

"Ahem."

Mai jumped from Oliver and turned around to see Lin looking at the ground walking to his desk, though Oliver swore he could see the man smirking. He opened the file again and began to read, noticing out of the corner of his eye that Mai was still standing there blushing.

"Mai, if you have nothing better to do other than stand there like an idiot, make some tea."

He watched anger grow on her face as she turned around and stomped out of the base.

"So Oliver..?"

"Shut up Lin."

MAI'S P.o.V

I stomped down the hallway still blushing about what had happened with Naru. My heart was still beating super-fast over it. But he was still a jerk for making fun of me.

"Mai?"

I looked up to see Ayako and Monk walking towards me waving, "Hey guys, the base is down the hall."

They both smiled and passed me, Monk ruffling my hair as he passed. I kept walking until I reached the kitchen next to the apartment office. I had just managed to put the water on when I felt arms wrap around my waist.

"Mai!"

I recognized the voice instantly, "Kimi!"

I turned around and hugged her, laughing alongside her. How long had it been since I had even talked to her?

"Mai it has been so long!"

"I know! I just saw your mom a few minutes ago."

Kimi pulled away from me and smiled, "You've already seen her? I was hoping to be the first to see you."

I looked at her, confusion most likely showing on my face, "Didn't your mom tell you I was here?"

"Nuh-uh I haven't seen her in a few hours."

"Then how did you know I was here? Or where to find me?"

Kimi let go of me and looked down, "I don't know just a feeling…" She looked up and smiled again, "Mai I have missed you so much. I can't wait to hang out with you when you aren't working."

'How did she know I was here working?'

The teapot whistle made me jump, then made both of us laugh again. I made the tea, and made a extra cup handing it to her.

"Mmmmm, your tea is always so good Mai."

I smiled at her, so happy to be with her again, "If you want you can come back to the base and meet all my coworkers."

"I would love to, but now isn't a good time. Next time okay?"

I smiled and hugged her one last time, then she sat the cup on the counter and walked out. I began to walk to back to the base, but before I could get halfway there I could hear Ayako and Monk arguing.

"Who are you calling old you fake monk!?"

"You are the last person who can call someone fake you hag, you haven't been of any help since the case with the trees. And that was only time."

I laughed and walked into the doorway, unfortunately I was just in time to see Monk dodge the book Ayako threw at him. I was also in the right spot for it to hit me square in the face. Pain shot though my face immediately and cause me to spill the tea….all over my arms. I tried my hardest to not scream, but I felt tears pour down my face. I was actually surprised how many tears there were, my entire face felt as if it were wet.

"Oh god Mai I am so sorry!" I heard Ayako shout.

"Don't just stand there and stare. Get the blood off her face, make sure she isn't hurt. That tea probably burns to."

I felt the tray that I somehow didn't drop get lifted from my hands, and opened my eyes to see Naru reaching towards my face. I looked being him to see Ayako searching her bag for the first aid kit she hadn't unpacked yet. Naru touched my nose and I flinched, trying not to cry out in pain.

"I don't think it's broken, but let's clean you up first."

I nodded and let Ayako lead me to the bathroom. She sat me on the edge of the bathtub and began to clean my face, whispering sorry over and over again.

"Ayako, I'm not mad. Stop apologizing."

She looked up and gave me a smile, "I shouldn't have lost my temper like that. I'm sorry you got hurt."

"Ayako."

She looked at me.

"Are we really shocked that I've gotten hurt? Had you not done it I probably would have hurt myself eventually."

She gave me a laugh and placed burn cream on my arm, "Still, I am sorry Mai."

I grinned at her, "No worries!"

After she finished I went and sat on the couch watching Lin type on his computer. I watched Naru walk in, and give Monk and Ayako a death glare before turning towards me."

"Bou-san, you and Ayako go talk to the residents about what has been happening. Write down everything they say."

Both got up and left without a word. I shot them sympathy glances, then looked back and Naru, whose face was as cold as ever.

"I will be right back, it seems Taniyama-san has forgotten one of the microphones."

I looked over at Lin, "I'm so sorry Lin I must have spazzed and left it there. Do you want me to go get it?"

Lin gave me a smile, "No, it's quite alright. It will only take a moment."

Lin walked out of the door, and I turned back to Naru, seeing that his face was a little softer than before. He leaned in and kissed my forehead, then kissed my lips making me blush.

"What am I going to do with you?"

He placed his hand on the side of my face, and I sat there enjoying how soft it was. After a few moments he let go and walked over to the computer and began to type.

"Mai-Chan?"

I jumped recognizing the child's voice all too well. I looked over to Naru who was still typing away, "N-Naru….did you hear that?"

He looked over at me, worry taking over his eyes, "Hear what Mai?"

"Mai-Chan…..help me"

After that, everything went dark.

Okay so I promise to get into the actual case next chapter I just needed some set up. Any who hope y'all enjoy. R&R and have a great day!
