Changed in the future

love marriage and death

Naru (age 6) Mai (age 5 1/2) 

Mother and Madoka were making desserts and Gene and 

father were working on something in the lab downstairs. 

Lin was the only one around and he was typing or doing 

something on his computer. What he did on that blasted 

thing is beyond my current realm of expertise. I was 

looking through some of the family photos when I stopped 

on one of mother and a duplicate looking woman I had 

never met before. I took out the photo and put it into a 

starting pile. I kept looking but suddenly got to a series of 

pictures that were of a little girl. The mystery girl had 

shoulder length hair and chocolate eyes that even from a '

picture went to make me want to fall into them and swim 

in her beautiful eyes of chocolate. By the time I had every 

picture of her in a pile I grabbed them all and raced to find 

Mother or even Father. I heard Lin race after me when he 

saw me storm out of the room. I was running so fast even 

Gene who had come up the stairs with Father couldn't 

catch up with me. I found Mother and Madoka in the living 

room talking about something stupid. I skidded to a halt in 

front of them and shoved the picture of the girls and the 

women in their faces demanding, " Who are they Mother?" 

Mom looked at me then at the photos and her expression on 

her face went from concerned to a happy look. She grabbed 

the photos from my hand and patted the spot next to her 

to sit. I went to sit so I could discover the mystery girl and 

women. She started off saying, " the little girl is Mai 

Taniyama and the women is her mother and my sister 

Misaki Taniyama." I waited and mom sighed and began 

telling me tales of her childhood and of Mai's life. I was so 

endorsed in mother's tale that I failed to realize it was 

already past my bedtime. I slept and some how I was 

dreaming about gene and my life it seems at age 15 I would 

graduate and become the youngest professor and the name 

Oliver Davis would be famous. As I got to age around the 

time we would turn 16 Gene was leaving for Japan and I 

wasn't going with him. I was puzzled until I was witnessing 

his death (twice). Me on my first case, having Masako Hara 

blackmail me with a videotape and her insisting I would 

love her like my brother supposedly had (which I doubt it) I 

lasted with me hiring Mai and her calling me Naru the 

Narcissist and then a older looking Mai and hearing my real 

name Oliver from her lips and saying she love me and me 

replying it saying " is it me or Gene that you love?" For the 

first time in my life I screamed myself awake to get rid of 

this nightmare. I was crying so hard I think I scared Gene 

when he came running to my side trying to understand the 

situation. I had never seen how much I would suffer if I 

didn't find Mai now instead of at seventeen. I'm so glade I 

was bored looking through old picture today instead of 

helping Gene or even Mother. I would suffer depression of 

the maximum intent if I didn't fix the future events of my 

dreams. I knew I would avoid Ms. Masako Hara at all costs 

and remind Gene if he ever met a Ms. Masako Hara avoid 

her at all cost to his life. I looked around my room I noticed 

everyone looking at me and wondering what was going on I 

replied with " Am I so beautiful you have to stare." They 

snapped out of their idiotic gawking to either grin (Gene) 

or glare (everyone else). Mother went to my left and in 

calming voice said, "What wrong Noll, normally when you 

scream the room is a mess from PK usage, do you need tea 

or milk dear." I shook my head and responded by saying " I'll 

only have Mai's tea, hers is the most heavenly cup I'll ever 

have in my life of drinking tea." I think I put everyone into 

shock and I donned a smile, because I was going to be

seeing Mai in the distant future. During the next two 

months since I had that dream I've warned Gene if he went 

to another country I'd be coming with him no buts on the 

subject. I also told him if he were ever to meet a Ms. 

Masako Hara avoid her at all cost to his life. I would make 

sure she wouldn't enter my life or my brother's through 

holding something over our heads like she would have done 

with my real identity of Oliver Davis in the future that 

would have been if I hadn't had that dream. In my search to 

find my Mai I found mother still had their address and 

phone number. I called when I got the paper with the 

number in my hands right away. I spoke in Japanese when 

Mai's father was just about to leave but past the phone 

when it rang. I told him to wait a few minutes and I told 

him I had a dream that he would die in a car accident if he 

went out tonight and he paused and said, "That's just what 

Mai said, she told me to not go and stay inside to avoid 

accidents." I was surprised she was already powerful at the 

age of 5 ½ but considering how powerful I am I guess she 

could too if her memory wasn't suppressed when she told 

her father died then her mom later. I talk a little to 

Takumi Taniyama then when his wife Misaki heard he was 

talking to little "Oliver Davis" she squealed and said to fork 

the phone over so she could talk to me. I guess being the 

smart married man that he was he handed the phone over 

to save his life and marriage. I learned that Mai was 

starting to show her powers like ESP, Astral projections, 

Clairvoyance and Retrocognition and Precognition. She was 

also a bit of a Medium like her mother Misaki who was now 

just a stay at home mom and a medium on the side for 

willing and scared patrons. I had discovered that her father 

was a professor like father and had all her powers but a low 

percentile of them worked while Mai had advanced powers 

for such a young age. I was impressed and fully thankful of 

my dream that occurred two months earlier that I saved my 

"Older brother" Gene's words not mine's life in the process. 

It was about three or four weeks later that I smiled and 

almost looked like I could sing to heavens for this day. Mai's 

dad was having a lecture with father (they conspire almost 

as much as the moms when they were together) on 

different cultural research on the paranormal. Gene and I 

would be escorting Mai with Madoka and Lin as parental 

guides. We went to the Isles of Scilly, England, Canterbury, 

Salisbury where Stonehenge is located, York and 

Cambridge.Mai was like a little girl lost in Disney World and 

was pulling us and telling us to hurry up on more than one 

occasion. I was happy to make the little ball of energy 

happy and act like the child my life was stuck in at the 

moment. I wanted Mai to be impressed so I did everything 

with her that she dreamed about doing that day. I think my 

favorite part of the day was when we were at Stonehenge, 

Mai had us envision what it was like to lift those rocks from 

one place to another and why it was put into the position it 

currently resided in and what was the purpose. Gene was 

looking at me every so often when we were playing with 

Mai and I think his expression was, who are you and what 

have you done with my brother. I ignored him and thought 

about the other people that I would have meet in the 

future if Gene died and I almost wanted to go to Japan and 

find them and get some of those cases that would have 

occurred about now to help them get rid of there problem 

so we could save the future deaths on the cases like the 

bloody labyrinth case. I found that most of the cases could 

be prevented now and the ones with a larger history are 

exorcise immediately. I wish the church case could have 

been prevented. That poor kid had to suffer and just 

because he found the perfect hiding place and knowing 

where his bones rest I could have him with his father faster 

then having him posses Mai and thinking Lin is his father. I 

wouldn't want Gene dead and then die and not know if he 

passed and if he would know that I'm gone as well from this 

planet. I hope that can be avoided then what my dream 

stated what would have happened and I wouldn't even wish 

that on anyone even if I had and enemy and I'm so glade I 

don't have one at the present moment. The day lasted 

when Mai collapsed into my arms from exhaustion. Gene 

and Me put her arms around our shoulder with her in the 

middle and walked to our estate a few blocks away. We 

took her upstairs to our room and gently placed her on our 

gigantic queen bed. We both crashed next to her and we 

didn't even notice the adults come in on us and tuck us all 

into bed and turn of the lights. In the morning around 

seven-thirty all three of us all woke up when we heard a 

crash coming from down stairs. I think we were still a little 

groggy because we were pushing each other when we 

weren't fast enough for the person behind us and we kept 

bumping into each other until we entered the crime scene 

that was our kitchen. The sight that behold us was 

disturbing and looked like a demolition sight happened and 

everyone in the kitchen was a suspect. Mom and Mrs. 

Misaki were covered in white powder and Father and Mr. 

Takumi were on the other side of the room with the other 

door wide open looking at their wives and our mothers with 

a questionable face like what in the name of all that if holy 

but being gentlemen and probably having us kids on the 

other side they said somehow at the same time " What 

happened in here?" There expressions where looking to be 

on the verge of hysteria. I turned around thinking this was 

a stupid mistake and the moms were acting like children so 

I and went to the living room and turned on the online 

radio from our computer and listened to the news and 

listened to some sappy romantic music to help me fall back 

to sleep unless someone gave me tea soon which I knew 

Mai couldn't do yet and mother was still being funny. The 

music that was playing was called, Beautiful Soul by Jesse 

McCartney

I don't want another pretty face

I don't want just anyone to hold

I don't want my love to go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

I know that you are something special

To you I'd be always faithful

I want to be what you always needed

Then I hope you'll see the heart in me

I don't want another pretty face

I don't want just anyone to hold

I don't want my love to go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

You're the one I wanna chase

You're the one I wanna hold

I won't let another minute go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah

You might need time to think it over

But I'm just fine moving forward

I'll ease your mind

If you give me the chance

I will never make you cry c`mon let's try

[Chorus:]

I don't want another pretty face

I don't want just anyone to hold

I don't want my love to go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

You're the one I wanna chase

You're the one I wanna hold

I won't let another minute go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

Am I crazy for wanting you?

Maybe do you think you could want me too?

I don't wanna waste your time

Do you see things the way I do?

I just wanna know that you feel it too

There is nothing left to hide

I don't want another pretty face

I don't want just anyone to hold

I don't want my love to go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

You're the one I wanna chase

You're the one I wanna hold

I won't let another minute go to waste

I want you and your soul

I don't want another pretty face

I don't want just anyone to hold

I don't want my love to go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

Ooooooo

Beautiful soul, yeah

Oooooo, yeah

Your beautiful soul

Yeah
