Mai's Birthday Part 11

(Lin's POV)

     Then the next two days went by very quickly, everyday bot Mai and I would go for a stroll in my parents' vast back yard and we would sit under the largest trees there. We would let the sounds of nature closed around us as Mai rested her back against my chest. Then when we would head in, I would enclose her hand in mine and walk with her back to our rooms, there I would give her a kiss and tell her good night. On the morning that I had to return to England both my parents and Mai drove me to the airport. To my surprise both of my parents remained in the car and allowed Mai to escort me to the terminal, then as I was about to leave her there Mai pulled on my hand. Her pull caused me to turn to look at her, she looked up at me with a slight smile before she went up on her tows and pulled my head down towards her and place and intense kiss on my hugged me close, but right before she released me she let her lips skim across my ear as she said, "You better come back to me Koujo...I'll miss you." as she said the last words she placed a kiss on my cheek.

     She then turned away from me and started to head towards the exit. I stood there watching her walk away from me as I felt a slight blush creep onto my cheeks as I realized that she had called me by my first name. I then pulled out my cell phone and texted her that I would be back and that she had better be ready for when I did at that time Mai was seventeen and a half. When I got to England it turns out that case was even more dangerous that the owner had led everyone to believe that case was over in six days. I kept in contact with Mai every day and in doing so, I found out that her training was progressing faster than any other student my parents have taught before. When I was in my office back BSPR I opened my email and saw that I had one from my mother and when I clicked on it there was an attachment. I clicked on the attachment only to come face to face with an image of a woman, but what surprised me was the text below that said that this woman was Mai and that another power had awoken during dinner. When I looked at the photo again, I could not believe that Mai now had long black hair with those stunning light blue eyes.

(Two years later)

      I had just gotten off Skype with Mai when I looked at the calendar with Mai's birthday circled in red marker. I then opened my emails to go through them, I then came across one that had Mai's name as the subject. This peaked my interest and I clicked on it, as I read the email I found out that a lawyer was looking for Mai and wanted to get in contact with her, he had even given me a number so I could contact him and hear what he wanted to say. I quickly dialed the number on my office phone after the third ring a woman picked up the phone and said the name of some law firm and asked me who I was wanting to talk to. I then said, "Yes I want to talk to Mr. Takato it is concerning Mai Taniyama."

     "Pleas hold a minuet sir while I get a hold of him." Said the receptionist.

      A few seconds later a man picked up the phone and said, "This is Mr. Takato may I ask who I am talking to?"

     "Yes, my name is Lin you emailed me in regard to Mai Taniyama may I ask what it is in regards to?" I asked as I grew annoyed at this drawn out conversation.

     "Oh, yes I am so sorry...I was informed by her mother before she passed away that she wanted Miss Taniyama to receive her inheritance when she turned twenty and seeing that it is in just a week and a half I wanted to get in contact with her. Though when I tried to locate her in Japan everything concerning her was connected to you so I sought to get a hold of you so that I may speak with her." He said.

     "Oh well she is no longer in japan she has not been there for two and a half years. She has been living in China since she graduated high school, also she would have no way to get to Japan to meet with you." I said as I looked up who this man was on my computer. I ended up finding out that he is a lawyer from China and has many high-class clients.
