A/N:- Back again! I can't guarantee I'll do this everyday, but right now ideas keep popping into my mind. I am so happy that everyone seems to be enjoying this so far! I got five reviews yesterday, FIVE! That's the most I think I've gotten for any single chapter I've written! I'm so pleased! Please keep reviewing! Anyway, on with the story.

Disclaimer:- Same as chapter one!

Naru's POV

I couldn't believe Mai did that to me. I insisted she go in the van with Lin and my parents so I could calm down properly. Okay, so I started it, but she didn't have to do that. My face was still burning at the thought of what happened. 'In front of my Mother too!' The lazy slackers I could handle, but my Mother! I banged my fist on the steering wheel out of sheer frustration and embarrassment. 'No, I need to calm down! My client will expect a cool, calm man, not an overemotional teenager!' I hung a right when I saw the others in front of me do the same. I mentally went over the facts of the case again, feeling some semblance of my composure return. 'Ah, that's better! Mai won't get away with this!' I saw the others pulling into a driveway a little way ahead and figured that, that must be where we're staying. It was a nice looking house. Plenty of space, enough rooms for all our needs, excellent view. 'I like views too you know!' My Mother was busy talking to a guy who looked to be in his fifties with my Father. I assumed he was the client I was to meet. I parked and got out of the car and started telling the others what I wanted them to do.

"Monk, Lin, John I want you three to set up a base and bring the equipment in. Miss Hara and Miss Matsuzaki I want you to unpack the groceries and Mai…" I said with a hidden maliciousness that only I could pull off. "I want you…"

"Ah Noll, there you are! We've been waiting for you." Mother chimed in. 'Goddammit Mother!' "Mr Michaels, this is our son Oliver Davis. He will be the one taking your case." She informed the man cheerily.

"Mother, how many times have I told you, when I'm working, use my other name?" I asked, irritated.

"What is wrong with the name your Father and I gave you?" She questioned, pouting slightly. 'A pout on a woman of her age doesn't look right!'

"You know very well what." I replied.

"I apologize for the mistake. Mr Michaels, my son wishes for you to call him by a different name. Please refer to him as Kazuya Shibuya." Mother corrected. Mr Michaels looked a little confused by our discussion, but obviously not one to pry; he extended his hand for a handshake instead.

"Mr Shibuya, thank you so much for coming and accepting this case!" He said, shaking my hand warmly. "Please tell me if there is anything you require, anything at all."

"I will need to have interviews with you and anyone else who has had experience with the phenomena surrounding this case, just so that my team and I can get a clearer picture of what exactly is going on." I informed.

"Of course, of course. Would either later today or tomorrow be suitable?" Mr Michaels asked.

"That will be fine." I confirmed. 'First I need to deal with a certain female assistant though.'

Mai's POV

I could tell that Naru was not happy with me. I'd tried to apologize, what more did he want! He'd insisted on me continuing the rest of our journey in the van with Lin. Thankfully Naru's parents were in there as well plus Madoka and they were all keeping me entertained for the short journey. Suddenly Madoka spoke.

"Mai, I have a question. You don't have to tell me the answer, but I'm curious."

"What is it Madoka?" 'Like I can't guess!'

"Why exactly did Naru shout that in the supermarket?" She asked.

"It was my revenge." I answered simply.

"Revenge for what dear?" Luella questioned, jumping in on our conversation.

"I'd rather not say." I replied. Like I said before, I wasn't going to get him in any more trouble.

"Okay, so how did you get him to say that anyway?" Madoka asked, looking like she wanted to learn from the best.

"You really want to know my plan?" I looked at Madoka and Luella, who also seemed hooked on my every word.

"Yes." They both replied.

"Okay, well, I started out by asking him what different innocent random items were. Then when we got to our last item, which was first aid supplies, and I saw what else was in the aisle, I guess I couldn't help myself." I answered.

"But how did you get him to say it at such a volume?" Madoka asked, thoroughly intrigued. "Ayako and I heard him five aisles away."

"He wouldn't give me a straight answer at an audible level and I guess I ticked him off by keep asking what he said." I replied, impressed at how far his voice carried.

"Well, although I'm awestruck at how you managed to break my son's rather cold and quiet nature and I do think it was rather funny what you got him to say in public, you must realize that it was also very childish and immature of you to do that." Martin, Naru's Father, spoke up. (A/N:- First time ever too! He's quiet that one!)

"I do realize that sir and I have tried to apologize to him for my behaviour, but he doesn't seem to want to know."

"You must understand that he has a lot of pride in himself and how he conducts himself and saying something like that, in public of all places, must have destroyed some of the confidence he had in his composure." Martin cautioned. We spent the rest of the ride in silence and I felt guiltier and guiltier at what I had done.

The house we were to be staying in was beautiful. It had a big garden and a really great atmosphere. When Naru arrived a few minutes after we did though, it seemed to change drastically, but then again that's the vibe he gives off anyway. He started ordering everyone about, as usual, but I could tell he had something pretty nasty in mind for me. Luckily his Mother interrupted him before I could find out what that something was and I quickly made myself scarce in the hopes he wouldn't find me.

The base John and the other men chose was gorgeous. It was quite spacious with two sumptuous blue sofas arranged either side of an antique coffee table. I sat down on the sofa furthest from the door and that was when I promptly fell asleep.

A/N:- Done for this time! I'm finding this the most random thing I've ever written, can't fathom why! For some strange reason I seem to have a rather flippant attitude when I write and when I reread my stories I wonder where half of it came from. Not that I mind, I think random humour spices things up. I am going to write an alternative for this chapter, mainly because I had this other idea that doesn't quite go with the flow of the story (Not that there is such a thing!) but it's still quite a good idea! So check it out if you want!

Please review, they're the only things better than my random humour!

(Extra A/N:- Did you know that this has been seen in 23 different countries? That makes me really happy!
What doesn't make me so happy is that in the two days since posting this chapter I have only had 1 review.
Come on people, don't be shy, tell me what you think! Suggest stuff, just say hi, anything! I don't bite (much!)
Please don't disappoint me!
Not that I have anything to post right now, but if I do, I'm not going to until I have more reviews!)

(I hate sounding so whiny and begging!)
