My name is Lee. (No, its Mai..)

Chapter 14: Dinner

JUST FOR THE HEADS UP, THIS CHAPTER MAY SEEM CONFUSING HERE AND THERE...

Lee/Mai P.O.V

Locking the door behind me, I threw my bag on my desk and began closing the windows and curtains. I made a few twists on my watch and the green light surrounded my body, changing me to my original appearance. Turning to the large mirror on the wall, I studied my reflection. I ran my fingers on the mirror, outlining my face and sighed. Mai-chan I thought, there's no room for error, and you must be prepared for the inevitable.

I changed from my uniform into black shorts and a tank top. I removed the watch from my wrist, set it on the table as I sat down and began working on it. Thankful for the distraction to could forget everything that happened to me that day. Once the task was complete, I did my homework and did research on everything surrounding Wood-crest. Both to know Wood-crest and just in case I got stuck in a conversation at the dinner. When five-thirty came, I took a quick shower and dressed up for dinner at the DuBois household.

~Later~

(3rd P.O.V)

The dinner turned out to be a gathering of the residents in that particular street of Wood Crest. Lee felt out of place amidst the people in the room and felt safest in the corner of the DuBois living room. From her perspective, her 'parents' blended in better than herself as they were socializing with Mr. and Mrs. Du Bois. From the crowd, she recognized Mr. Freeman who was speaking with a young brunette and Jasmine flirting with Huey by the staircase. I better leave, Lee thought, this atmosphere sickens me.

Lee, quietly slipped out of the house and into the quiet street. Turning to her house, she broke into a sprint, and with the right speed, scaled the wall until she was atop the roof. After making sure no one was in sight, she flicked her watch.

Meanwhile...

Having had enough of Jasmine's endless chatter, Huey gave Jasmine a cold glare and walked out of the house. He headed towards his house when he heard the faint swish of a blade. Following the sound, he found himself in a park and froze. A stone throw away, under the moonlight, was the girl he began to believe was not real. She was wearing the same thing from the first time he saw her, only this time, she had a katana* in her hand. Each move she made was deadly, her focus unwavering. Luckily for Huey, he stood behind a tree, out of sight, observing her samurai like moves.

The girl stopped, and sheathed her weapon. Staring in Huey's direction, she strolled towards him, stopped and said.

"Kore de, dete kuru koto ga dekimasu,"

Huey P.O.V

"Kore de, dete kuru koto ga dekimasu"

I understood perfectly what she said. You can come out now.

My mind was at war. The smart thing to do was confront and see what she wanted. A small part of my brain was screaming at me to leave and get someone to interrogate her. I did the smart thing, show myself. I came out of the shadows of the tree and faced the girl of the night.

She studied me, myself doing the same.

"Anatahadare**?" I asked.

"Why should I tell you who I am?" she questioned.

"You can speak English?"

"Hai***. You can speak Japanese"

"For someone who appears only in the night and trains when no one is watching, why did you reveal yourself to me?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes, you have a dangerous weapon in your possession and I should be reporting you to the police"

"You amuse me Huey-san"

The girl lifted her head to the sky, and raised her right hand. Before I knew it, she dropped her hand with such speed, and a fog surrounded her. When the fog cleared, she was gone.
