A/N:- Thank you for being patient. I already said before that I did not upload due to my exams but I do hope that this chapter cheers you up.
BACK IN ENGLAND
Mai P.o.v
I was staring out of the hospital window thinking a lot of things that I never even imagined in my wildest imaginations. I heard the doctor call my name again and I looked up. She smiled at me. But the feeling I felt was weird I was happy and sad and confused.
IN ENGLAND 3 DAYS AFTER THE VISIT TO THE HOSPITAL...
Naru P.o.v.
We had just come back to England and the SPR irregulars decided to accompany us. My mother thought it was an excellent idea for all of us (including SPR irregulars) to come and wanted them to stay at our place. Mom was so happy to hear Gene was alive that she could barely keep it in. She wanted to come to pick us up at the air port but I convinced her to stay at home. At the moment the house was visible as we were on our way from the air port to the Davis mansion and my thoughts were drifting again towards Mai when crying of a baby caused my attention to divert towards him.
The baby in question was named Michel .He is my godson. He is also Lin and Madoka's son. He was born just this month. Gene had whined for an hour or two because he was not a godfather and I was. The argument ended with a promise that Lin will name him the godfather of his next child.
Michel was a good child. For some reason he enjoyed spending time in my lap which I am not against but I do find it weird. He has his father's black hair and his eyes are inherited from Madoka's father. The eyes are like rubies. He has a pale complexion but not sickly pale.
No P.o.v
The cars soon reached the Davis mansion and we could see Mr. And Mrs. Davis waiting for the party to arrive. As soon as Gene was off the car he found himself engulfed in Luella's hug that could even rival bou-san's. Soon Gene could feel tears of his mother on his shirt as he returned the hug whole heartedly. After Gene was welcomed by both his parents Luella started inviting everyone in and took them straight to the dining hall. Now it was time for Gene to face his punishment.
As soon as we were all seated Luella's eyes fell on Ayano she frowned and said. "You look so out of spirits Mai? What happened to your bubbly self? Did Noll do something?"
Naru p.o.v
"Ayano smiled at Mother and answered in perfect English "Oh no ma'am my name is Ayano. Mai is the name of my sister." Her accent was more clear than possible for most Japanese people. My suspicions of Mai not being Japanese stirred again.
Suspicions could wait. I first had to explain the situation to mom and dad. After my explanation in which I made her amnesia clear I decided to get onto the interesting part.
"Remember father I told you that there was no way Gene was going to Japan just for research purposes. Well I say my theory is proved. He went there to meet his girlfriend and to spend time with her. "
Father's glare was already in place and the full blow was directed towards my brother.
"I would like to see you Gene in the study after dinner. I also expect both you Noll and Lin to be there as well."
Father's voice at first was Icy when directed towards Gene but turned to take a business note when directed to me and Lin.
This is one of my father's traits I have inherited.
After the talk on the dinner table mom declared that I should try to find Mai as soon as I can because she wishes to have a Daughter-in-law. Madoka took it on herself to mention she will get one anyway which led to Gene and Ayano turning into ripe tomatoes.
IN THE STUDY
"Is it true Gene?"
Father was anger could be heard in his tone and his fury was well displayed in his eyes. Gene Cringed. I liked the look on his face. I confess.
"Yes Father but not entirely. I had gone to Japan to spend time with Ayano and studying the aspects of Shinto technique with her. She is a paranormal researcher too."
Father's anger went down a notch or two but was far from being extinguishing.
"You are going to spend this entire week on the case files I hand you. Not only are you going to summarise each case I want every single case memorised and I also want to see a written report which includes the reasoning for each action that was taken. Following that I want to see you in office everyday sorting cases. Lastly to make sure you remember this punishment you will be giving me a hand written book by you that talks about the aspects of Shinto technique as well as its adverse effects by day after tomorrow. The sheets will be A4 size ruled on both sides. And I want a hundred sheets at least."
Gene's jaw was no longer at its right position and I was feeling a sense of satisfaction bubble into my chest.
"Now to business. Oliver..." using my real name meant now it was time to talk office work. "Tomorrow we are having a person coming from SPR America. She is an apprentice of Dr. Ronalda. She is coming here to take her test and then receive her licence for paranormal investigation."
"It is so funny dad that people who want to get licence to do investigations from there come here to give the test where as those who want to get a licence and have studied here go there to give the test." Gene said in a jokey manner as though he had already forgotten about the punishment he had to face.
Father did not glare at him but smiled. It meant he found it weird too. And then went on with his speech.
"I want you to take her test Oliver."
"Dad what has that poor girl done to you that you are having Noll take her test. Do you not want her to get her licence?!" Gene shouted.
Now it was my turn to glare at my brother.
"No Gene. I am assigning him the duty because the she is said to be a great student of Dr. Ronalda. 'Her Pride' as some people put it and I want her examiner to be someone who won't go easy on her or would be too easy for her."
Gene looked like he still was not okay with the arrangement but said nothing else.
A/N:- My exams went really well. I scored really well in most of my subjects :. For the sake of celebrating I am going to post another chapter soon.
