"Hey! Are you two going to sleep all day?" Monk-san asked as he leaned on the doorframe. Mai opened her eyes and looked across at Naru, who was sitting up rubbing his eyes. "Come on, it's almost twelve O'clock." He added as Naru looked at the clock,
"Alright, we're up." Mai said as she sat up, looking down at her robe, which was gaping open at the chest. She quickly pulled it shut with a frown and looked at Naru, who seemed to be in a better mood now that he had caught up on his sleep. "Monk-san? Can you go and put this in the washing machine for me?" she asked sweetly as she got up and took her dirty clothes to him.
"Sure, but only because you have to wait for sleepy head to have a shower. I heard your little tiff this morning. You two really need to get it together." He teased as he took Mai's clothes.
"What do you mean?" Naru asked as he grabbed his robe and headed for the bathroom,
"You'll get it one day. Take you pants off and I'll get them washed for you. I'm not making two trips." He replied as he waited by the door. Mai blushed as she saw Naru's arm pass his black underpants to Monk-san, who then picked up the rest of Naru's clothes from the floor, "Oh, good news. It looks like the snow's melted quite a bit. We'll be able to leave today." He said as he headed for the door, not catching Mai's disappointed almost sad look as he closed the door. Why am I feeling sad? Although it has been fun, hanging out with everyone and getting to share a room, not to mention a bed, with Naru…I'm going to miss it. She thought regretfully as she lay back on the bed, looking through Naru's papers, unable to understand a word of it.
"What are you doing?" Naru asked, almost sounding amused as he looked down at Mai's face, which was scrunched up in confusion. She looked up at him and blushed, putting the papers back on the bedside table.
"Nothing…" she replied shortly.
"Mai…I apologise for earlier. I was tired and my mood isn't good when I wake up. I had no right talking to you the way I did." He apologised, choosing to look at the wall rather than at her. Mai looked at her hands in her lap,
"It's alright…it's none of my business how you look after yourself." She replied apologetically,
"No, that's not what I meant, I mean…it's nice of you to worry like that." He argued. Mai stole a glance at him to see him awkwardly looking at the wall,
"Well, someone has to worry about you." She joked, seeing that warmth flood into his eyes for a moment. "Oh, Monk-san said we should be able to leave today. The snow's been melting." She said as Naru grabbed the papers and walked to the door, Mai close behind him.
"That's good. Once we leave I'll take you home before picking up some stuff to come back." He replied as they walked down the stairs. Mai sped up and went to his side,
"Naru! I told you I'm not leaving you!" she replied firmly,
"Me?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What?" she asked, feeling her heart stop, oh no! I said the last part out loud! She thought,
"You said you wouldn't leave me, why?" he asked sounding genuinely perplexed as he lowered the papers and looked at her,
"I-I…I have to go…um…yeah." She stuttered before turning and running back up the stairs as fast as her legs would carry her,
"Mai!" Naru shouted after her, "That girls going to get into serious trouble on of these days." He sighed as he turned and followed her, seeing her turn the corner near Mika's old room. "Mai!" he called as he looked around the corridor. He eyed the door to Mika's room and eased it open, hearing someone sniffing as he opened it. "Mai?" he asked as he put his head round the door, seeing Mai lying face down on the bed with her head buried in her folded arms.
"Just go away, okay?" she replied quietly, her body shaking as she cried. How could I have been so stupid! He's bound to know now! I don't want to hear him reject me. She thought in embarrassment. She felt hands on her shoulders, gentle hands. She felt herself being turned over and came face to face with Naru, but something was different about him. "Naru?" she asked uncertainly as he climbed onto the bed with her, straddling her hips as he leaned forward on his arms, his head beside her ear,
"Mika." He sighed as he breathed in her fragrance. Mai froze and looked up at Naru in horror,
"Naru, that's not funny, now get off, the others will be wondering where we are." She said shakily as she put her hands on his shoulders and tried to push him back, but he wouldn't move. "Naru. Get off." She ordered firmly,
"Mika, why do you fight me?" he asked as he leaned down and licked her ear gently. Mai felt a shiver go through her body and started struggling, feeling Naru's body weight pressing onto hers more firmly.
"No! Naru stop it!" she cried frantically, trying to throw him off. Oh god, he's possessed! She thought as he started pulling off his robe. Mai squeezed her eyes shut and pressed her legs together, dreading what she knew he was going to do. She felt him pulling her robe open, but she was powerless to stop him while one of his hands held both of hers above her head. "Naru, please stop." She begged in a whisper as he started kissing a line along her collarbone. He released her hands and moved one up to the back of her head and the other down to her breast. Mai gritted her teeth and tried to get away, using her hands to try and push him back,
"Mika, look at me." he said as he caressed her cheek. Mai opened her watering eyes and looked into his, suddenly feeling her body weaken, what's going on? I can't move! I can't move and I can't even speak! She thought fearfully as she cried, seeing a smile cross his lips as he leaned down and kissed her mouth. She could only lie there helpless beneath him as he continued his way from her lips to her neck and soon to her breast, please stop! I don't want this! Naru! Please! Help me! She cried inwardly as she felt one of his hands slip between her now weak legs, pulling them apart so that he could kneel between them.
"M-Mai!" Naru gasped, his body shaking as he fought for control.
"Naru!" she cried, suddenly free from the trance or whatever it was that had subdued her,
"Mai, I-I can't…I'm sorry." He whispered, his voice cracking as tears slid down his cheeks before the spirit once again replaced him. No! Please stay! Don't leave! She cried inwardly.
"No! Get out of him!" she cried as she pounded helplessly on Naru's chest, her tears blinding her vision.
"Damn it! John!" Monk-san shouted as he burst into the room and tackled Naru, taking him down to the floor. Mai lay there shaking; barely noticing as John entered wearing his priest robes, bible and holy water in hand, and Lin sat beside her on the bed, gently pulling her up and closing her robe. Mai looked up at him before leaning into his chest crying, feeling him stiffen as his arms wrapped round her, stroking her head lightly. She looked at the floor, where Naru still struggled against Monk-san's hold, almost getting free of him. John knelt down and put a cross of holy water on his forehead before flipping through the bible,
"Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our." John read, almost drowned out by Naru's snarling until suddenly Naru's body went limp and he leaned back onto Monk-san in exhaustion, gripping the sleeve on Monk-san's top.
"Did you stop him? Did I?" he asked, his eyes wide in fear. Monk-san looked at him, taken back by the unusual expression,
"No, he didn't. We got here in time." He replied, cradling Naru's naked body as he cried into Monk-san's shoulder uncontrollably. "Hey, it's okay, you're okay." Monk-san soothed as John grabbed Naru's robe and put it over his shoulders.
"Mai, are you alright?" Lin asked as he looked down at her. Mai pushed herself back and forced a smile, tears still running down her face,
"I'm fine." She replied shakily. "I just need a minute okay?" she added as she leaned into his arms again. He held her comfortingly and rubbed her back gently. After a while she heard Naru get to his feet and pick up the scattered papers.
"Come on. We have work to do." He said coldly, not even looking at Mai as he left the room. She felt Lin getting up and caught his sleeve,
"Thank you Lin-san." She murmured as she let him go, pulling her knees up to her chest and burying her face. She felt the bed move and looked up to see Monk-san sitting next to her with his arms open. With a small smile she shifted closer and leaned on his chest, feeling his arms go round her, "How did you know?" she asked,
"Lin was watching the screens. We talked for a minute and when he looked he saw you and Naru in here and knew something wasn't right." He replied as he wiped her eyes gently.
"Is he…going to be alright?" she asked,
"I hope so." He replied as he looked at the door. "Come on, you should eat something, and your clothes should be dry by now too." He added as he got up from the bed with Mai in tow. As soon as Mai was downstairs Fai rushed to her side and escorted them to the kitchen, where all three sat and ate,
"Are you alright? I don't know exactly what happened, but I hope you are." Fai said as he took Mai's hand across the table gently. She forced a smile for him as she pushed her only half empty plate away,
"Fine…I'm full." She added as she got up and took her clothes from the worktop above the tumble dryer.
"You get changed in here. We'll wait outside." Monk-san said as he got up. Mai dressed quickly and looked at the kitchen door. I really don't want to see anyone right now…I just want to be by myself. She thought as she turned to the backdoor. She walked over and saw the key in the lock, opening the door quietly before she slipped out and began walking through the garden. After a short while she went back inside and opened the door, "Hey, you took your time." Monk-san teased. Mai looked up with a half-hearted smile and headed for the living room, where Naru was sitting on the sofa and Lin was sitting in the chair as usual. Mai hesitated before sitting next to Naru, seeing him stiffen as she sat down. After a few moments she looked at him, his eyes fixed to the sheets in his hands, scanning back and forth across the page.
"Naru?" she said quietly as she twisted her hands in her lap.
"Not now Mai, I'm working." He replied coldly. Mai sat there for a moment before looking away sadly, holding her breath so that she didn't choke on the lump in her throat.
"Excuse me." she said quickly as she got to her feet and left the room quickly, feeling her body beginning to shudder as she held back the tears.
"Mai!" she heard Monk-san call as she ran through the kitchen and out of the back door, running for the end of the garden.
"She's gone!" Monk-san said angrily as he re-entered the living room, throwing a glare at Naru, who was still looking at the same page. "Naru! What are you doing?" Monk-san demanded as he ripped the papers out of his hands and threw them in a rage.
"I am trying to do my job." He replied, not looking up at Monk-san.
"Don't give me that Naru! I know what you went through was terrible, but she needs you right now! Are you just going to sit there? The state she's in there's no telling what she'll do!" he snapped in reply, feeling a firm hand on his shoulder as he stepped closer to the teen. Looking over his shoulder he saw Lin, who gave him a look of warning. "Alright, fine! Sit there and pretend everything fine, but if Mai gets hurt or worse then you just remember it's your fault and I am holding you personally responsible!" Monk-san warned as he stepped back.
"Hey, where did Fai go?" John asked suddenly as he looked around the room.
"Shit!" Monk-san swore as he ran into the hall with John close behind, "We'll check the house! Lin, Naru! Go check the garden!" Monk-san shouted as he and John ran up the stairs. Lin got up and went to the door, looking back at Naru, who hadn't moved.
"Naru, come on." He prompted, "Monk-san wasn't lying you know, she does need you, more than you could ever know." He said as he went out of the door. Naru paused and looked at the door.
"Where's Naru?" Monk-san asked as he leaned over the banister and looked at Lin,
"He's not." Lin began, but as the door behind him opened he paused and turned around,
"I'm here. Lin, check the front. I'm going out the back." Naru directed as he walked towards the kitchen.
Mai reached the well and walked up to the edge, sitting on the rim with her legs dangling inside the well. What did I do wrong? Why is Naru so upset with me? He didn't even look at me when I spoke to him; he was so cold! She thought as tears slid down her cheeks. She leaned forward and looked in the well, something about it making her uneasy. As she looked down she saw something, am I imagining things again? She wondered as she leaned further forwards,
"Hello?" she called as she looked down. That's weird…I don't know why, but I feel like there's something down there…something…she thought as she tried to get a better look, screaming as she felt something grab her and pull her back roughly. When her feet hit the floor she found herself turned to face a very angry Naru,
"What the hell are you doing you little idiot? You know you're not meant to leave the house alone! What if someone had followed you? And what stunt were you trying to pull just now? If you had leaned any further forward you would have fallen in! You could have killed yourself!" he shouted as he shook her shoulders roughly. Mai cried out and stepped back, pushing him away,
"Stop it! You're hurting me!" she cried, tears still sliding down her cheeks. "Maybe if you weren't such a cold hearted jerk I wouldn't have come out here! Maybe if you'd decided to talk to me instead of shutting me out and treating me like I don't exist I wouldn't have been upset!" she snapped heatedly,
"It's not my fault that you can't keep your emotions in check! You need to grow up!" he replied angrily, stepping closer to her,
"See? You're doing it again! You're so clueless!" she snapped, stepping closer,
"I'm the clueless one? That's a joke! So tell me then, what is it that I'm so clueless about?" he demanded, his face a few inches away from hers,
"Naru, you idiot, I'm in love with you!" she cried, clamping her hands over her mouth as she turned away quickly, her face turning red, leaving Naru stunned and speechless, "Well? What are you waiting for? This is where you're supposed to mock, taunt and boost your ego. Go ahead! Make fun of me like you always do!" she snapped, why did I tell him? I'm such an idiot! She thought as she started crying again, what's he waiting for? Did he just leave? She wondered, gasping as Naru's arms wrapped around her from behind and pulled her to his chest. Naru turned her round in his grasp and looked down at her, his eyes warm, but uncertain. "Naru?" she asked questioningly as he reached up and brushed the tears from her cheeks.
"Mai." He sighed as he leaned down and gently brushed her lips with his own, sending a wave of warmth through Mai's body as she slowly reached up and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He kissed her again, just as softly, his lips lingering on hers. Mai felt his tongue on her bottom lip and opened her mouth obligingly, moaning lightly as his hand came up and caressed the back of her neck as he deepened the kiss, his tongue entering her mouth and entwining with hers. She heard him groan as her tongue hesitantly dipped into his mouth and one of her hands reached up and ran through his hair. If this is a dream, please God don't wake me up! She thought as they both pulled back gasping for breath. Mai blushed and looked at the ground, her hands still loosely on his shoulders while his were still resting on her waist. She felt one of his hands leave her waist to caress her cheek, moving down to lift her chin. She looked into is eyes and saw the warmth still there, tinged with something slightly darker, but not unpleasant. He smiled as he leaned forward and nuzzled her forehead gently, "So that's what your little tantrum was about." He taunted, pulling her closer as she started pulling back, her fists pounding his shoulders,
"Why do you always have to turn everything I do or say into a joke? You're always like that with me!" she snapped, feeling embarrassed and used as she looked at the chest of his black shirt,
"Don't deny me one of life's small pleasures." He replied, groaning as she pounded his shoulder again, "Mai…haven't you ever wondered why I'm always like that?" he asked once she stopped struggling and trying to beat him. "You know, when I was younger Lin told me about child behaviour patterns. He said it was common for boys to pick on girls that they liked, and visa versa…do you think that's true?" he asked, feeling her lean her head on his shoulder, breathing in his scent, fighting back a moan as she inhaled it. God, what is he wearing? It smells so good! She thought as she nuzzled his shoulder,
"I always thought so. I also thought it was a habit that most boys grew out of by high school." She teased knowingly, "And yes, that theory did push its way into my head a few times, but I never took it seriously…why would someone like you want someone as plain and stupid as me. You're out of my league." She replied,
"What have I told you about that? Besides, you're not plain, nowhere near, because every time I see you I get a light feeling in my chest, and when you laugh I want to smile, and when you're crying I want to hold you until the tears are gone, and I want to protect you and keep you safe, because if something happened to you I…don't know what I'd do. That first mission, after we left, I thought I could forget you. I thought you were just some other kid getting caught up in my business, but as the days went on I kept getting this nagging feeling that something was missing, so I finally decided to call you, and when I heard your voice on the other end I knew what had been missing…I'm sorry, I'm not good with words…" he said as he kept her close, not wanting her to see his blush,
"I don't think your words are stupid…I feel the same sort of things for you…I like it when you pick on me sometimes…at the time I'm annoyed, but when I look back on it it makes me feel special because you were taunting me and not someone else." She replied as she pulled back, looking up to see him looking down at her,
"Come on, the others will be wondering where the hell we've gotten to." He said as he released her and walked away. She stood there and watched his retreating back, he didn't say the words, he didn't say 'I love you' she thought as he stopped and turned round with warm eyes, giving her a slight smile as he held a hand out to her. Mai smiled and ran to catch up, taking his hand to feel him grip hers firmly as they walked back to the house, letting go of each other's hands as they saw Monk-san waiting by the back door.
"They're back!" he called into the house. Mai looked up at Naru, who once again had his narcissist mask firmly in place, but before she looked away and started moving towards the house she saw that warmth flicker in his eyes, the look reserved just for her. But one day he will. She added.
