I own Nothing! K major reconstruction on the morning scene.

Luella, Lin, and Mai finish with the equipment. While Naru was briefing the others about the case. "Mai don't you have to tell your friend Yawl?" Monk reminds Mai. "Yeah I should call him and let him know were leaving at ten tomorrow."

Mai's p.o.v.

I stepped out to the kitchen to make the call.

Yawl: Hello sweets.

Mai: Hello Yawl. SPR has excepted a case. We're heading there tomorrow at ten.

Yawl: I'm hurt, Mai. Is that really all you called me for? He asked pouting.

Mai: Well I know you have other business here. So I didn't want to bother you in less it was impotent. Like your father specified.

Yawl: Oh. But I thought we were friends.

Mai: Were not the kind of friends that you have in mind. I'm with Koujo. Yawl stop trying to push this. You were aginst me even being trained by your father till your father told you what I could do. That's when you decided I was worthy of being in your family's home. Your father's the one who trained me. Not you I owe you nothing.

Yawl: Why won't you even give me a chance. That's all I'm asking for.

Mai: Because I don't like you like at all. The only reason you want anything to do with me is to gain more power in your family blood line. I'm no one's pawn Yawl and for the last time I love Koujo!

I snapped my phone closed and turned around to see Koujo standing in the door way. "Are you all right?" He asked me wrapping me in his arms. I laid my head on his chest and listened to his heart beat and allowed it to calm me.

"I just can't wait for that asshole to go home," I told him. "Neither can I." Koujo looks down at me and said. "You know if he tries something on you I'll break his neck right." I kissed him then said. "I know you won't let him hurt me." "Good, the others will be keeping an eye on him two," Koujo told me as they headed back to the group.

Lin's p.o.v.

John, Monk, Yasu and I started putting the equipment into the van so when everyone got there in the morning they could head right out. Plus John and Monk wanted to find out if I was really seeing Mai. Well, they had almost everything loaded when Monk spoke up. "Hey, Lin can I ask you something?"

"If it's about me and Mai. Then the answer is yes. Were dating. I'm actually thinking about asking if I can move in with her." "So you two are that serious?" John asked. "When did this all start if you don't mind me asking," Monk asked me. I got a little uncomfortable. I am not used to sharing my feeling but I loved Mai, and I knew she would be hurt if I didn't. So I answered him. "Well, we started getting to know one another the last year Noll and I where here.

She confessed her love for me the night before I left for London. I told her that I couldn't return with out Naru for four yeas. That's how long I still had on the contract with the Davis's. But I fully intended to come back once it was up. I never asked for her to wait for me. She decided that on her own. So when she came back we picked up where we left off."

John said, "Well I'm happy for the both of you." "I am too," Monk added. "But break her heart I break your neck," Monk said with a smile. "I new that was coming."

General p.o.v.

After their little chat with each other the three went back inside. To find everyone eating dinner. That Sebastian prepared for them. When They sat down Sebastian brought their dinner to them. Everyone talked for a bit then the irregular's started to leave. Leaving Mai, Lin, Noll, Yasu, and Luella still at the office. "Well, where am I staying?" Luella asked. "You could stay with me." Mai offered. "I have a guest bedroom that's open," Luella said, "Thank you, Mai. Well, that's settled I'll be staying at Mai's."

"Then allow me to drive you, ladies, home." Koujo offered. "Sounds good to me," Luella said standing up. "Yeah I have packing to do." Mai's commented as Koujo opened the door for them and drove them to Mai's.

Koujo left after a kiss goodnight from Mai. Luella secretly watched their kiss from the window. With a huge smile on her face. When Mai came inside. Luella said. "You both remind me of Martin and me when we were courting." Mai smiled but blushed a little at the comment. "I give him three months till he asks for you hand." "Well, I know the answer already," Mai said with a smile. "Well, out with it what would you say?" Luella asked smirking at Mai. "It would be without any hesitation yes."

Koujo's p.o.v.

I had En listening to them. En raced to me to tell me what he had heard. "Master Lin." En said coming up to me. "What is it En?" I asked him. "Luella said you and Mai looked like her and Martin when they courted. She also asked Mai if you every asked her to marry you what she would her answer be." That got my attention. "What did she say En?" "Her exact words were (It would be without any hesitation yes.)" "Those words were her's? What was the look on her face?" I asked. "She was beaming when she said it Master."

"Maybe I should just ask her to marry me. We'll have a long engagement. Then get married in two or three years." With my mind made up, I went to my room to pack up the things I may need on the case. Such as blessed sutra paper and ink, herbs and spices, white, red, and black chalk, and lastly my grimoire. Then cloths and bathing supplies.

'I need to get a ring.' I realized. Nie my wolf shiki said. "Master, I saw one you might like at the jewelers in town. If you get up early you will be able to have it sized." "Alright, Nie." I composed myself and finally went to bed.

Yawl's p.o.v.

I sat outside the SPR office. I had decided to come early to make sure I didn't get left behind on purpose. I watched a car pull up into SPR parking lot. Monk and Ayako got out. Ayako looks the tall dark haired man over as I stood up to greet them.

"Hello, I'm Mai's friend Yawl. You must be Monk or Boa-san that's what Mai always called you and you are Ayako the shrine maiden am I right?"

Ayako is entranced by my strong built and enchanting green eyes. "Yeah how did you know who we are, and you can just call me Monk." "Well, Mai talked about her SPR family quite a bit while training with my father." "Well, It's nice to meet you Yawl." Said Ayako who finally came out of her fantasy land.

John and Masako were next to arrive. They walk over to see what was going on. I flash my best smile at them. Masako almost fell over a crack in the walk way. "Hello I'm Yawl," I say while steadying Masako back on her feet. Masako's automatically crushing on me.' Hello, I'm Masako, Hara." She stammers out. I couldn't help but smiles to myself. When I see how I effect both of these women. 'Well I still can knock a woman off her feet.' I think to myself.

Koujo's p.o.v.

I had come up with a plan to hopefully discourage Yawl and I wanted to anyway. I held a box in my jacket pocket as I knocked on Mai's door. She answered with a smile. "Koujo are you heading out already?" "No. But I need to talk to you if you're not busy." "Come in. I can always make time for the man I love." She tells me with a big smile.

I step inside and takes Mai's hand. I lead her to her bedroom. "Mai, En heard what you said last night and I know how we feel about each other." I fumble in my pocket. I retrieve the box and pull it out. "We can make it as long of engagement as you like. Mai will you..." Interrupted by a screaming "Yes!" from Mai. I smile and open the box to put my ring on her finger.

I was sliding it on when there was a flash of light and another scream from the hallway. There stood Luella with her camera phone in hand. "I can't wait to send this to Martin!" Mai didn't even look at the ring she flung herself onto me. Her new to be husband.

Kissing me till we should of have had brain damage from lack of oxygen. But who cares. There was another flash of light from the hallway. We finally separated panting for air but she still did not let go of me. Instead, we heard the front door slam shut. Then banging from the up stairs apartment. I said. "Well were outed." Mai kissed me lovingly once more. Then we headed to the door after hearing a car horn.

Safely in the car Mai looked down at her hand. Actually looking at the ring for the first time. It was a princess cut diamond in the middle with a band of white gold that looked like vines with gold leafs on it and little sapphires that looked like flowers throughout the vines and leafs. I said, "Those are mood sapphires." "So that's why you where gone all morning," Naru said in his normal flat tone.

"May I see?" Asked Luella and Yasu. So Mai held out her hand for them to see her ring.

"Koujo that is beautiful," Luella said while wretched into the front passenger seat to hug me. "Congratulations." I hugged her back. "Thank you," I said while blushing. "Martin said to give you and Mai his as well. He's now kicking himself for not coming with me." She said with a huge smile.

Yasu hugged his bestie and said. "I'm so happy for both of you." Mai hugged him back. Naru rolled his eyes as Yasu turned into his goofball self. Rubbing his face against Mai's with fake tears running down his face.

But he turned to me and said, with a real smile on his face. "I'm glad for you both. Congrats." I smiled back at him and said. "Thanks Noll." I was amazed that I had gotten one of Noll's real smiles. I new that Noll meant every word.

General p.o.v.

Ayako and Monk's phones start going off. Monk looked at his phone. "I just got a message from Naru's mother." "Me too." Ayako said. As John and Masako's phones start there chimes a well. Ayako screamed, "Oh My Kami!" Ayako stared at the pictures of Lin and Mai. Monk, John, and Masako opened theirs. "What they saw was Lin in front of Mai sliding his ring on her finger with a smile on his face. Monk and Ayako started to tear up. John and Masako smiled.

Yawl's p.o.v.

I sat there being the odd man out. "Um, what's going on John?" I asked. "I guess Mai and Lin are engaged." My jaw dropped. "But they just got back together isn't it a bit soon to be getting engaged?" I asked. "A little but Mai seemed sure that she loved him and I know he loves her. By the way, he acted when he could not find her when they got back. He never gets worried to the point that it shows on his face." Monk told me.

"Yes the only other time I remember seeing him like that was when Naru's heart stopped at the Yoshimi case after using too much of his PK." Voiced Masako threw her kimono sleeve. "I wonder if they will get married here or in China?" John asked. "Well, that's one trip I wouldn't miss." Monk mused. "I'd go anywhere they wanted to have it. I've got to help Mai get dressed." Stated Ayako.

I was furious and my PK was spiking. I wanted to ripe Lin apart and feed him to my shikis. 'I knew Mai was in love with someone when she was training with my father. But I didn't think they were going this fare this fast. I'm going to make him have a little accident so I can have more time to work my spell on Mai.'

As I was musing. Naru's car pulled up. Lin and Mai where bombarded by the irregular's saying their congrats and hugs to the happy couple. The girl's pulled Mai aside wanting to see the ring. Lin was blushing hard at something Monk said. The hole time I watched then smile and walk up to Mai. Then I offering my congratulations to her on her engagement to my enemy Lin Koujo. I could feel that the little bit of the spell I had started on Mai was gone. Which really pissed me off. Lin saw that something was off about my demeanor. So he came up to the group. "Naru is ready to leave guys." He said and took Mai around the waist and lead the group of women back to the other's.

Naru started to assign cars to everyone. "Monk, Ayako, John, and Masako in Monk's car. Mai, Luella, Yasu and Yawl will be taking my car. Lin and myself in the van." With a quick kiss between Mai and Lin, everyone climbed into the cars and van. They were all on the road in less than two minutes.
