Mai woke up to find Naru gone and Lin in the chair beside her with a cup of tea. He looked at her softly as she gazed at him sleepily, pulling herself slowly into a sitting position.

"Good morning Taniyama-san." He said warmly as he set his cup down.

"Morning Lin-san…what time is it?" she asked as she looked around, seeing the sun out of the window, high in the sky, not a cloud in sight,

"Getting on for twelve O'clock. Naru will be back soon." He added, seeing Mai's relieved smile as she leaned against the pillows, her eyes catching sight of the bright flowers on the table beside her, "I brought them for Fai; he'll visit later." Lin replied to her silent question.

"Lin-san! Is it safe? Is he really…" she began urgently as she looked at Lin, but he didn't have to answer, the look in his eyes was enough to tell her, he's gone…he's really gone…it's over. She thought, quickly remembering her other troubles, for now, she added, the relief fading quickly as she thought of what was to come.

"Taniyama-san? Mai…are you alright?" Lin asked in concern, seeing her eyes fade, fear slowly edging its way in,

"I-I'm fine Lin-san." She replied with a forced smile, feeling Lin take her hand gently,

"If there is something wrong…or if you need help, you know I'm here…we all are." He assured gently, Lin-san…Mai thought as she returned the light grip on her hand, caressing his skin lightly; his skin is so soft…

"Thank you." she said gratefully, leaning closer to him as he leaned closer to her, closing her eyes as he came closer, until the door opened,

"Mai-chan! How are you this…were we interrupting something?" Monk-san asked in confusion as he looked at the two only inches apart, Mai blushing furiously as she looked over at Monk-san while Lin merely sat back and lifted his teacup,

"Not as all." Lin replied simply, what happened? I was really going to…kiss Lin-san…but…it's not right! I love Naru! She thought, the blush fading from her cheeks as she sat deep in thought, pulled back to reality as Ayako sat on the edge of the bed and put her hand on her forehead,

"Well, no temperature, are you feeling alright?" she asked in concern as she examined the younger girl, noting she looked slightly pale, though it was to be expected as she recovered her strength.

"Yes, I'm fine." Mai replied brightly as Monk-san hopped onto the other side of the bed and ruffled her hair,

"See, I told you she was just spacing out." He said with a grin, looking at the door as it opened and Naru re-entered in fresh clothes with two cups of tea, handing one to Mai before standing beside Lin with the other, leaning on the wall. "So, when will you be out?" Monk-san continued as Mai sipped the hot tea,

"I don't know…" Mai replied; will they already be waiting at the house when I get out? Are they there right now? What if they come here? She thought suddenly, her eyes widening as the door opened, revealing John and Masako,

"You sure you're okay?" Monk-san asked in concern as she jerked and gasped,

"Fine…just startled." She added, trying to join in as Monk-san began to joke around, annoying Ayako to no end. The room was filled with laughter again; as it had been the other times she'd visited the hospital, only now it was Mai in the bed rather than Naru. Eventually the nurse came and ushered them out, but as he was about to leave Mai suddenly grabbed Monk-san's top, her knuckles white, her eyes desperate as she looked up at him,

"Uh, could you give us a few minutes?" he asked as the others filed out, Naru's worried glance falling on Mai as he hesitantly left with Lin. Monk-san waited until the door was shut before he turned back to Mai, who still had a firm grip on his top, "What's up Mai-chan? You've been a little jumpy today, did something happen?" he asked in concern as he stroked her cheek gently, his eyes widening as she buried herself in his chest, his arms pulling her close as she cried uncontrollably. A few moments later the door opened quietly, the nurse putting her head round the door, nodding and backing out at a sign from Monk-san, "Hey, it's okay, hush…Mai-chan, shh…" he soothed as he rocked her back and forth stroking her hair. Gradually he felt her calm down and relax, her eyes were closed as he looked down, so he gently leaned over the bed, lying her down gently, kissing her forehead lightly as he pulled the covers up to her chin, his hand stroking her hair softly, but as he turned to leave he felt her grab his hand, and her eyes were on him again,

"Don't go…" she said pleadingly, relaxing as he sat down beside her,

"Why Mai? What are you scared of? Naru didn't do anything did he?" he demanded suddenly, relieved when Mai shook her head, "Not Lin-san!" he said in disbelief, again relieved as she shook her head, "Then what Mai?" he asked, but Mai shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks, "Okay…you don't want to tell me, that's fine, I'll stay right here." he assured, tightening his grip on her hand slightly, smiling at her assuringly as she turned on her side to face him and closed her eyes, slowly relaxing until she fell asleep.

She woke up the next morning to find Monk-san still beside her, his hand still in hers, though the grip was lax where he had fallen asleep, his face almost as carefree sleeping as it was most of the time he was awake. Monk-san…you really stayed here all night? She thought gratefully,

"Mm…ohhhhhh." He groaned as he slowly sat up, reaching around to the back of his neck with a grimace,

"I'm sorry, are you okay?" Mai asked guiltily as the pained expression faded and he gave her a grin,

"Don't worry, I'm used to this, happens all the time when Ayako gets mad and I have to sleep on the sofa." He replied assuringly, "Uh! That is, uh, I…damn." He stuttered with a small blush as Mai smiled brightly,

"Don't worry, I'll keep your secret." She replied, though it wasn't much of a secret…she thought as she remembered Monk-san's reaction to seeing Ayako injured, he really does care about her…good for you Monk-san!

"Thanks." He laughed sheepishly as he stood up and stretched, opting to sit on the bed rather than the chair, "Now, I think we need to talk." He said more seriously, his eyes filled with concern,

"It's nothing I…I just didn't want to be alone…" Mai replied quickly, seeing Monk-san's stern eyes as he frowned at her,

"Mai, you were more than uncomfortable, you were terrified! And I can't help if you don't tell me what's wrong!" he argued, watching as Mai looked at her lap and fiddled with the bed cover, "You know you can tell me." he added as he laid a gentle hand on her shoulder. I shouldn't tell him…there's nothing he can do! If I let him know he'll try to protect me, he'll get hurt! I'm so scared right now! She thought, her eyes filling with tears again,

"Monk-san!" she cried as she buried her face in his chest, breathing in his comforting scent. She felt Monk-san hold her, his hand stroking her hair softly,

"What is it Mai? Tell me!" he urged as he looked down at her tear stained face. She took his wrists gently and looked up at him as he cradled her face in his hands and wiped her tears,

"Monk-san…I'm in terrible…terrible trouble." She began, shifting over as Monk-san moved to sit next to her, leaning his back against the headboard, his arm around her shoulder protectively, "My mother had no family, she was an only child and lost her parents, and my father…the only family he had left were two brothers…I never met them, my father protected me from them…they're terrible people…they buy and sell young women, even children sometimes. They also run brothels, their main on is in Kyoto, that's where they live…they're my only legal guardians and…" she trailed off, shifting closer to Monk-san,

"And if they come for you they'll stick you in a brothel." He finished,

"Or worse." She added with a shiver.

"Don't worry, I won't let them take you." Monk-san assured,

"But it's legal! There's nothing you can do!" she replied urgently,

"I can threaten to let slip their little business to the police." He suggested,

"You can't! What they're doing is huge! The chief of police is their biggest supporter! If they get arrested they'll be set free straight away! You'll just get hurt!" she said desperately, "You can't get involved…I'll just have to…" she trailed off, pulling her knees up to her chest,

"If you think I am going to sit back and let that happen you have another thing coming!" Monk-san snapped, tightening his grip on her, "I'll never let that happen." He added darkly. Mai shrank into Monk-san as the door opened, revealing Naru and Fai.

"Fai! How's the house?" Mai asked as he came over with a box of chocolate and handed it to her, receiving a blush and thanks in return,

"Fine, thanks to you." he replied gratefully, "I did stop by last night, but visiting times were over, and the nurse said you were a little upset." He added in concern.

"Oh, I'm fine." She replied with a forced smile,

"Is that why you're burying yourself in Monk-san's side?" Naru asked sarcastically, masking his concern with indifference,

"Naru, I need to talk to you outside." Monk-san said as he got off the bed and walked to the door, "Fai, you stay here okay?" he added, receiving a nod in return. While they were gone Mai listened as Fai told her about the house, how the servants had returned, the snow was gone and he had started clearing the garden to plant new plants in the spring.

"Mai, where is your house key?" Naru asked as he re-entered. Mai looked around,

"I'm not sure, if it's not in my clothes it should be back at Fai's house with the rest of my stuff." She replied, watching as Naru hunted through her clothes, obviously coming to the conclusion that the key wasn't there.

"Monk-san is going back to your house to take your stuff over to Ayako's house." Naru said as he left the room, Monk-san…Naru…Ayako…they're all protecting me… she thought, her chest feeling warm and light at the thought. Naru re-entered and sat beside her as Fai took his leave, saying he would see her again once she got out of the hospital. "Speaking of getting out, I spoke to the doctor and he thinks you'll be able to leave tomorrow, though he'll want you to take it easy for a while." Naru said, taking her hand gently,

"That's good I guess…" Mai replied, her thoughts shifting to her uncles, who were sure to turn up at some point, if they hadn't already. Mai felt the bed shift as Naru sat beside her, pulling her into his arms. Naru…he smells so different to Monk-san…and his touch is so different from Lin-san…Lin's skin is so soft…she thought as she closed her eyes,

"Don't worry…we'll protect you…I'll protect you." He assured, Lin and Monk-san said the same…they really do care for me…I wonder what Lin's doing…Lin? Why am I thinking about him again? I love Naru! She scolded, blushing as she hid her face in Naru's chest, "What's wrong Mai?" Naru asked,

"Nothing, just hold me for a while." She replied, feeling him move to lie down, pulling her with him so that he could comfortably hold her in his arms. She leaned her head on his shoulder and breathed in his scent, Lin smells really light, he just has a hint of something natural…like pine, but Naru…he's so much stronger and darker…she thought as her arm snaked over his waist.
