I own nothing! I know the chapter is short but I think it was a good spot to stop. Enjoy everyone.
General p.o.v.
Masako stood with her lawyer glaring daggers at Noll. Noll and Yasu didn't care about her they acted like she wasn't there. While sitting across from each other in the court room.
Ayako, Monk and John had testified that the accusations about the company that Oliver and Koujo were running where faults and that the only reason Masako ever made them was because Oliver rejected her because he's engaged to Yasu.
Father Tojo from John's church, the Yoshimi family, Noka and his daughter Yuming, and a bunch of old classmates from Yasu's old high school. All testified that Oliver Davis and his team at SPR helped them with their ghost problems. The girl's and Father Tojo also stated that Masako was with the team on their cases and that she had no problems with participating in the cases with Mr. Davis or Mr. Lin. The judge made a note of their statements.
Then it was time for Mr. and Mrs. Lin to be questioned. Mai stepped up first.
(Mrs. Lin are or where you ever being blackmailed by your employer to marry Lin Koujo?) No.
(Had you and Mr. Lin been in a relationship before Lin was accused of being predigest toward the Japans?) Yes we where. Mai answered.
(For how long?) Masako's lawyer asked. Three years. Mai replied.
(Is it true that Mr. Lin ignored you before they left for England?) No that's not true.
(Then why didn't Mr. Lin and you start dating before he left? )We had actually had been spending time together since a year before they had returned to England to bury Oliver's brother Eugene.
Koujo wasn't even called to the stand. In stead the judge excused himself to look over the facts of both suits and make a decision.
While the judge was away Masako glared hate filled daggers at the four who were about to ruin her. "Damn it! How could I lose!"
She turned to her lawyer with pure rage on her face. You said this was a surefire win. If they testified. But I see that the judge is on their side. If he comes back and fines me guilty then you will never work in this town again. She hissed at him.
Fifteen minutes later the judge returned with he's verdict on both suits. Ms. Hara you are guilty of every charge your being accused of committing. You are ordered by this court to have no more contact at all with Mr. Davis and the Lin's and pay restoration for damaging their good names, and you must come clean with the media about your lies. Court is adjourned. The SPR irregulars had setup a little party at Ayako's to celebrate their win over Masako.
Masako's p.o.v.
None even looked at the crying women on the other side of the court room. I new I was finish with TV after these interviews. "Oh no how are my parents going to react to this hole mess? Not to mention my complete and total humiliation that will be on a global scale. I might as well go live on a secluded island and stay there the rest of my life." She told herself as she sat on the bench and cried her heart out.
Suddenly their was a hand placed on my shoulder and a deep voice said to me. Hello Masako It's been awhile since I've seen you. Are you looking for new employment? She turned to face the voice and smirked. Why yes I'am. I stated.
Ayako's House****************
General p.o.v.
The party was in full swing. Ayako and Monk where dancing. So was Mai and Koujo to Latch. As the others played with Kiya and talked. Suddenly Mai got this blank look on her face and fell against Koujo's chest. Everyone was baffled by Mai's sudden vision.
Mai's p.o.v.
I was being held by Gene. As a woman and a man where being chased by another older man. Threw a restaurant. The older man was holding a shot gun and he was aiming for the woman. Who looked to be badly hurt already. He shot her died then kept running after the man but the man got away out the back door. Gene looked at Mai that's all I can give you for now and Mai watch your back Masako just got a new helper. Who will be gunning for Koujo and Yasu. Then I woke up in a cold sweat. To Koujo staring down at my. I tell everyone about the vision and Gene's warning.
They all decided to call it a night since they knew they would have a case in the morning.
Noll what are we going to do about Kiya? We'll bring her with us. Mai do your shiki mind protecting Kiya while were on cases. Sebastian answered for Mai. No we don't mind. Then that's settled. Sebastian and Claude will protect Kiya from harm. Noll told Yasu. Well lets go home and pack for the case. Koujo, Mai are you guys coming? No where going to start pulling the equipment . Koujo replied to Yasu. Okay see you both tomorrow and with that. Noll, Yasu picked up Kiya and headed home.
Koujo's p.o.v.************
Mai and I went to the court house and Mai changer her last name to Lin. I was happy that the suit was over and now we could legally be know by my last name.
After dealing with all the legal matters I decided that I wanted to take my wife for a night out. Since it was only five. We took the subway to the shopping district and ate dinner at a little Italian restaurant. Mai noticed that I was hiding something. I wanted to talk but wouldn't say anything.
Koujo if you don't tell me what's on your mind. I'm going to read it. She told me. I sighed and said. I got an email from my father today. He and my mother are not happy that we married before they got to meet you. I started to trail off. Koujo are they angry that you married a Japaneses woman? No. Luella told them all about you and how hopeless I was in London longing for you.
They are pissed at me because I used my wife's last name to hide from the press. They said, that no man should ever act like that. We could of just stayed with them till we had to testify. To me it sounds like they were just hoping you would come home and visit. I think they just need away to vent their disappointment that we didn't ask to stay with them. Mai told me full well knowing how my father really felt.
I hope you are right I hate it when their mad at me. Go ahead and say it I'm acting like a little kid. I said rubbing my temples. No I don't think that your acting like a kid. Honey, she took my hands in hers and got me to look at her. You've said it before your heritage and honer means a lot to you. So of course you wouldn't want to dishonor your parents. I get it and it's one of the many things I love about you. Mai's eyes never broke contact with mine. I could see that she truly under stood the situation. "This is one of the reasons I love her so much." I told myself while pulling Mai to me for a kiss.
