"Mai? Are you alright?" Fai asked gently as he sat beside her on one of the large white sofas. She sat with back against the sofa with her legs drawn up and her face hiding in her hands, her body shuddering with her cries.

"I'm fine." She sniffed, unsuccessfully trying to stop the tears. Fai slipped his arm round her and pulled her to his chest,

"It's alright…you don't have to pretend with me…he's the one isn't he?" Fai said.

"One what?" she asked as he rubbed her back.

"He's the reason you…turned me down." He replied, feeling a twinge of jealousy and outrage in his chest. "He's not worthy of you." He spat, though Mai didn't notice the venom in his voice.

"He's not like that! He just…we both went too far, in fact this has been building up for quite a while now since our last case. We had a disagreement and I said some terrible things. I don't think Naru holds a grudge, but the things I said…I don't expect him to forgive me any time soon." She replied, but I have to try to apologise! She thought as she got to her feet in determination.

"Where are you going?" Fai asked,

"To find Naru…I have to apologise to him! I'd hate this to damage our friendship any more than it already is, plus he pays my wages." She joked as she flashed him a smile and ran from the room, crossing the hall to the kitchen, where she almost ran into Naru, who had been walking through the door to come and find her. Mai looked up in surprise and they both stopped and stared at each other, both having lost the words to speak. It's strange…I want to apologise, but I can't think of what to say suddenly. She thought as she looked into his deep blue eyes.

"Mai I…in the garden, we were arguing-it went too far. What I'm trying to say is I'm." he began,

"Sorry." Mai blurted. "I shouldn't have provoked you, I was asking for it…I have been for a while." She added,

"No, you weren't! I don't know why I got so upset. It was unfair and I had no right to hurt you like that. I'm sorry." He apologised,

"Can we just forget it ever happened? I…don't want us to fall out again…especially over something as stupid as this." She added, fighting the blush that threatened to cross her features.

"Good…just don't go off with him again." Naru warned in reply as he glanced at the living room door where he could see Fai peering out with a jealous glare. "I really think you should leave. It's not safe." He added as he looked back at her,

"If I leave then so do you." She stated firmly.

"Alright, but first sign of trouble." He warned. "You and Monk-san are going to be setting up and mics and cameras in the main library. Lin and I will be in Mika's bedroom." He instructed, ending their previous conversation as if it had never happened.

"Alright, is he up there now?" she asked,

"Yes, he said he'd wait outside for you." He replied,

"Alright, see you later, stay with Lin-san!" she added as she ran up the stairs.

"…Mai?" Naru called as he began to walked to the living room, not looking up at her, "Thank you…" he said,

"You're welcome." She replied as she paused on the stairs and looked back at him as he walked through the doors, smiling to herself as she continued towards the library, wait a minute, where the hell is the library? She wondered suddenly.

"Mai! Over here!" Monk-san called as she reached the top of the grand staircase and started looking around. He was off to her right leaning on a pair of large double doors with the equipment by his feet. "So, did you make it up with Naru?" he asked as they walked inside the huge, shelf filled room with hundreds of leather bound books neatly placed on them.

"Yes." She replied as she set up the tripod, leaving the actual camera to Monk-san. Who was pressing various buttons to get it started.

"Ohh! Was there a lot of hugging and kissing involved?" he asked teasingly,

"No! Naru's not like that!" she replied firmly.

"You sound disappointed." He pried,

"What? Why would you say that? Why would I want to be that close to Naru? He's a…a complete narcissist!" she replied, her cheeks turning red as she watched Monk-san,

"Tell the truth Mai! The camera doesn't lie!" he added as he picked the camera up and trained it on her blushing face,

"That had better be switched off Monk-san!" she warned as scowled at him, her red face making it look more comical than stern,

"Relax! I wouldn't do that to you." He replied as he placed the camera on the tripod at the wall.

"Glad to hear it." She replied as she picked up the mic and stood on a chair, fixing it to the top of the bookshelf. "I think I've got it." She said as she released the shelf, catching her foot as she stepped back. Monk-san turned in time to catch her, holding her tightly around the waist as he put her on the floor, "Thanks Monk-san, I thought I was going to fall!" she said as she put a hand on her chest in relief.

"It's fine, and don't worry, you didn't show that much of your underwear to the camera." He joked,

"That's not funny!" she blushed as she slapped his arm, getting a howl of laughter from him. "Oh, shut up!" she scolded crossly as she left the room with him close behind,

"Oh, come on Mai! I was only joking!" he said as he walked along side her to the stairs. "How about I make it up to you? I could teach you to dance…would you like that?" he asked as they walked down the stairs,

"You can dance?" she asked incredulously,

"Yeah…my mum used to take me to classes just in case I needed to do it one day, you know, social occasions and stuff." he replied. "Come on, it'll be fun." He prompted,

"Well, alright, but you have to be a gentleman." She replied,

"Goes without saying." He assured with mock sincerity,

"And no laughing!" she added harshly,

"I promise…unless it's really funny!" he added quickly.

"Monk-san!" she said sternly,

"Okay! Okay! I won't laugh…much." He added under his breath as hey reached the bottom step,

"John!" Mai called as she reached the bottom of the stars. John stood in the doorway shivering as he pulled his snowy coat off and put it on the coat stand by the door, his blonde hair covered with melting snowflakes as his blue eyes looked up at her warmly.

"Hello Mai. Looks like I made it just in time." He added as he looked at the window.

"What in the world?" Mai said questioningly as she walked to the window by the door, "Oh my god! Look at it out there! I swear there wasn't a cloud in the sky a few hours ago!" she said as she looked at the blizzard of snow rapidly covering the ground,

"This is not good…there's no way we'll be able to drive in this! The roads will be like a sheet of ice and we'll never see where we're going! I wouldn't even want to walk in that!" Monk-san said as he joined her watched the thick blizzard. Mai pressed her face against the window and peered out,

"I know, my taxi only just made it here. The driver was thinking of turning back." John said as he looked over Mai's over shoulder at the swirling mass of snow.

"I can hardly even see the van! You're car is completely obscured! Where was it?" she asked as she peered out,

"Behind the van, you're right! There's no sign of it! God, I don't remember there ever being snow this heavy…well, not for a long while anyway." Monk-san replied,

"They did say it was supposed to snow soon." She said, remembering the weather report from a few days ago. "I guess they got it right for once." She added.

"Ah, there you are. Welcome John-san." Fai said as he joined them in the hall and looked out at the snow. "I just noticed it too…Shibuya-san and Lin-san are waiting in the living room…he wanted a private word with you. I'll be up stairs if you need anything." He added as he left them. Mai, John and Monk-san entered the living room to see Lin flicking through the weather channels and Naru standing by the window, clearly agitated.

"It doesn't look like it'll let up any time soon." He said to Lin, who looked up briefly and noticed the arrival of Mai and Monk-san with the addition of John.

"John's arrived." He said. Naru turned and motioned for them to sit down.

"Good, we may well need him tonight…I hate to say it, but we're stuck here. There's just no way we can get back and there isn't a hotel close by either…" he began, trailing off into thoughtful silence.

"It wouldn't be comfortable, but would it make any difference of we slept in the car and van?" Mai asked, but Naru shook his head,

"This close to the house the spirit could come out, besides is it's a case of possession then it doesn't matter how close you are to the house because the spirit would be inside Fai." He replied. "If we're going to be stranded, we may as well be comfortable…but I'm going to have to insist on doubling up…" he said as he looked at Mai, who was looking at the four men blushing at the thought of having to share a room. "I know this will be awkward for you Mai, so I'll let you choose first. We'll split into a two and three…I don't really want anyone alone with Fai-san, he's too dangerous, besides, he hasn't been attacked so there's unlikely to be any risk of that happening." He continued. "Mai, who do you want to stay with?" he asked as he looked at her reddened face. Mai looked at all of the people in the room, thinking over what she felt about each one. John was safe enough, he was very gentlemanly and shy, but she didn't want to put him in that position. Monk-san was very protective of her, so he'd keep her safe and comfort her, but something about his attitude made her decide against it. Naru wasn't the nicest person to be with, plus they were still on shaky ground, but she didn't know anything about Lin at all and he intimidated her.

"Naru…if that's okay with you." She added, as she looked up at him where he stood by the window. He looked surprised, but nodded,

"Alright, if you're sure." He replied. "Very well. Monk-san, John-san and Lin will be in the room next door." Naru said. "Fai has already stated that there are two rooms on the top floor that we can use that haven't had any sign of activity in them. For now there's not much more we can do, so you can all relax." He finished as he walked over to Lin to discuss the situation.

"Good girl Mai, I knew you'd jump at the chance to sleep with Naru." Monk-san teased as he leaned closer to her,

"Stop insinuating things that aren't there!" she said as she folded her arms and sat back blushing,

"So…what was wrong with me?" he asked jokingly,

"Well…I thought about it, but something told me I shouldn't…I can't say what it was, just a feeling." She replied.

"And John?" he asked,

"Well, he's a nice, but he seems shy…I thought he'd find it awkward." She replied.

"And Lin?" he prompted innocently,

"You should already know why! I've never had a proper conversation with him! That would be way too awkward, plus he intimidates me." she replied,

"Ah, but can trust yourself with Naru little girl?" he teased.

"Shut up!" she snapped, her face going a deeper shade of red, now I'm beginning to wish Ayako were here…even Masako! She thought as she glared at Monk-san as he laughed at her,

"Now that's not very nice…besides, everyone knows you have a crush on Ayako-san." John piped up in Mai's defence.

"No I don't! But what about you? You have a thing for Masako don't you?" he asked, but John laughed at that and brushed it aside.

"Don't get me wrong, Masako is extremely beautiful and smart and kind and even witty at times, but…she's not for me." he replied as he smiled sadly and looked at his hand, which were folded in his lap. Mai looked at him sympathetically, seeing his feelings as plainly as he saw hers,

"'No one's out of your league if you believe in yourself.' A…friend told me that once." She said as she stole a glance at Naru, who was leaning over Lin's shoulder pointing at some papers that Lin was studying with deep concentration. "If you like Masako that much then you shouldn't let her status get in the way…if she feels the same then it shouldn't matter that she's famous and you're not." She added.

"Thank you for your support, but, really, it's okay, I meant what I said." He replied with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "But, if I may say so, perhaps you should take your own advice." He added as he looked at her. Maybe one day…she thought as she looked at Naru again.

"Alright, follow my feet first." Monk-san instructed as he and Mai stood in the hall facing each other, but not close enough to touch. "The basic step is thus, one, two, three," do you have that?" he asked as he moved his feet across the floor in a pattern from left to right, Mai trying to follow and not doing too badly,

"I think so." She replied uncertainly.

"Now, these three steps can changed direction and pattern, but the basic rhythm and speed stays the same. One, two, three, one, two, three, see?" he asked as he continued to move randomly at a fairly slow pace, "And depending on the music, the steps will speed up. One-two-three, one-two-three, got it?" he asked as he moved faster, watching Mai watching his feet. "Come here." He said as he stepped closer to her and put his hands on her hips boldly, "Try not to look at the floor. We'll go slowly at first. Just try to follow me, and try not to step on my toes." He added as he pulled her along with him, pausing when she stumbled and stopping when she lost her footing,

"Sorry." She apologised,

"It's fine, you just need to practise those steps." He replied leaning on the wall and watching as she did the steps on her own, trying not to look at her feet and failing miserably.

"What are you doing?" Naru asked as he, Lin and John exited the living room on their way to bed. Mai stopped, catching her breath in surprise,

"I'm just giving her a dancing lesson, she was a little insecure about her inexperience." He replied as he made his way to the stairs with his hands in his jeans pockets.

"Well, you seem to have the basic steps right, but you're too tight. You need to loosen up." Naru said as he walked up the stairs beside her.

"Huh?" she asked in surprise, Naru's telling me to loosen up? What a hypocrite! She thought. "You dance Naru?" she asked as they climbed the stairs, Lin, John and Monk-san already on their way up the next set of stairs.

"Of course, it's required for certain occasions." He replied.

"Wow…I never pictured you as the dancing type." She said.

"It's not something I do much and I tend to avoid it as much as possible." He replied absently. Mai fell silent as they continued to climb the stairs to the two rooms. Lin stood waiting at the door while John and Monk-san had gone inside.

"Goodnight Naru, Mai." he said as they stopped,

"Goodnight, Lin." Naru said as he opened the door. Lin was about to open the door when it flew open and Monk-san put his head out of the door,

"Hey Mai, don't do anything I wouldn't do." He joked, disappearing quickly before Mai could reach him; tomorrow I am going to kill him! She thought venomously as Naru went into their room. Mai paused a moment before following, saying goodnight to Lin quickly before hand. As she closed the door she saw Naru sitting on the bed, his shoes and socks already off, and his hands working quickly on the buttons of his shirt. Mai blushed and made her way to the other side of the bed. God I wish there were two beds…he's going to be right next to me all night! She thought frantically, half of her happy about it while the other half dreaded it. Mai's line of thought was broken as she heard Naru's belt unclip and as she turned she saw him pulling his trousers off. She watched transfixed as Naru stood by the bed wearing only a pair of black pants. He looked better than she had imagined. His chest and stomach were flat and toned, his arms had slightly toned muscles and his legs were the same, but when she reached the pants she forced herself to look away, feeling Naru shift his gaze to her, making her blush. Wow, this is really awkward. She thought as she looked at his face to see him smirking at her with amused eyes.

"Something wrong?" he asked as he sat on the bed, looking at her over his shoulder. She looked at the smooth skin and felt the urge to touch it and feel the muscles beneath it. God Mai, stop it! You're going to get yourself in trouble! She thought as her face reddened further.

"No, nothing." she replied quickly, her voice sounding higher than usual.

"In that case aren't you going to get ready for bed?" he asked, hiding his amusement as she blushed even more, "Unless, of course, you are intending to sleep in your clothes." He added. I never thought of that! Maybe I should have slept with Monk-san…but would that really be any better? She wondered as she looked at Naru, who lay back on the bed with one arm behind his head, looking at her with a smirk. Gritting her teeth she unbuttoned her khaki shirt and pulled it off, hesitating as she reached the long sleeved white top. He's going to see my underwear! She thought as she froze. At Naru's chuckle she quickly brought the top up and over her head and turned her back on him, at which his chuckle died. "Did I do that?" he asked. Mai shivered as she felt his hand touch her back where she had hit the shelves earlier. Across her shoulders was a long thick black bruise,

"Yes, it doesn't hurt." She lied, flinching as he touched it.

"You're a terrible liar." He replied. "I'm sorry…I really didn't mean for you to get hurt." He added guiltily.

"It's alright. I deserved it after saying all those things to you…it was unforgivable." She replied as she looked over her shoulder.

"What? I didn't push you into the shelves on purpose! How could you think that?" he asked, looking at her with a betrayed look in his eye. "I thought I told you to sort out that habit you have of giving up on people." He added,

"I wasn't saying that! I mean, I know that you wouldn't do it, but what I meant was that I wouldn't blame you if you did or if you wanted to…could you turn around? I'm going to…um…" she trailed off tugging at her bra strap suggestively. Naru just smirked and stayed where he was watching her, "You're not seriously going to sit there and watch are you?" she asked in shock.

"Well, you did say some terrible things to me…look at this as compensation." He replied, masking whatever he was thinking behind a smirk.

"Stop it, this doesn't suit you." She said firmly,

"Hmm…it seems you may have sorted it out." He said as he turned his back. Mai blushed and tried to bring her hands round to unclip the bra, but the bruises wouldn't allow her to move her shoulders enough. This is tight…I can't sleep in it…but I can't get it off on my own…damn! She thought as she looked at Naru.

"Naru, um…I have a bit of a problem…could you-that is, would you mind…I can't get the clips undone." She stammered finally, blushing as Naru turned to look at her slyly, "Don't say a word! It's these bruises, I can't move my shoulders enough, they're so stiff!" she complained as she looked at him pleadingly. Naru got to his knees and went behind her, gently holding the back of her bra as he examined the clips, having never actually undone one before. He quickly unclipped it and looked away as it slipped down Mai's arms and away from her chest. Mai pulled the long sleeved white top back over her head and turned to Naru, "Thank you…and thank you for not looking." She added as she got up and tugged the zip of her skirt down, letting it drop to the floor before she sat on the bed, trying to ignore Naru's eyes as he looked at her long delicate legs, noticing as she shivered,

"Come on, we should get under the covers and get some sleep." He said as he got up and climbed into the bed, sighing as he lay back and turned the bedside light off. Mai did the same and winced as her back hit the mattress. She turned on her side to got to sleep and found herself face to face with Naru, wow, this is awkward…maybe I should turn around…but I don't know if my shoulders would like that. She thought, deciding to stay where she was. Unconsciously she shifted forward, closer to Naru's warmth,

"I hope this snow calms down by tomorrow," she said absently, noticing that Naru still had his eyes open,

"Why? Is sleeping with me so terrible?" he mocked,

"N-no! It's not, I like sleeping with you, I mean, not that I would usually want to sleep with you or anything, I just uh…" she trailed off, feeling her face turn red and seeing the smug look on Naru's face. Damn! He laid a trap and I fell for it! He's just teasing me! She thought, but it's only fair that I get to ask the same in return…she added,

"What about you? How do you feel about sleeping with me?" she asked, swearing she saw a flicker of unease in his eyes for just a moment, no, this is Naru. He'd never feel uneasy about anything…well, almost anything. She thought,

"Go to sleep Mai." He said evasively,

"No. I'm not going to let this drop." She replied daringly, noticing that Naru had taken on a look that she didn't like as he reached a hand out and caressed her cheek,

"What do you want me to say Mai? That I want you? That I'd been dreaming of this since I met you?" he asked as he shifted his face closer to hers.

"No, just what you feel. I don't want you to lie to me." she shot back, freezing as his forehead brushed hers.

"It's not so bad." He replied dismissively before turning over as if nothing had happened. Mai watched his back in disbelief for a moment before relaxing and closing her eyes, feeling sleep claim her as she sneaked an arm round Naru's waist.
