Ok…. So this is my first fan fiction. I hope you like it.

Mai's Dreamland

A car is lying shattered on the road, oil spilling out of the engine. People gather around it filled with horror and the need to be quiet. Inside the car, there are two forms. One is lying ominously still, and the second form's struggles to get out getting fainter.

No one notices a man step out from the crowd and walk right through it, standing half in-half out of the car's walls. In fact, it's almost as if he's not there at all. He watches the woman and child. The child is obviously dead, but the woman doesn't seem to realize that and keeps calling her name. The woman herself is dying, her body broken beyond repair. The woman starts to become quieter and the man takes this chance to speak.

"The girl is dead, but I can give her one of my hearts and she will live," he said. "But, there will be a price."

The woman looks at him with hope. "I'll do anything, just save her! Save Mai!"

When she says this the man smirks, his eyes flash red. But the woman doesn't notice, still pleading for him to save her child.

"Good, I'll save her," he said. "You can rest now."

The woman smiles and starts to close her eyes, but then opens them again, as a thought flits through her mind. "What about the price?"

"Don't worry, it will be paid," he says and she smiles and nods, letting go of the last shred of strength that had kept her alive.

After she dies, the man smirks maliciously, "Oh yes, the price will be paid. But not by you….."

He then turns to the child, letting his eyes turn red, revealing his true nature, and slowly puts his hands against his chest. At first nothing happens, but then something starts to come out of his chest. The thing is red and is beating steadily. He takes the heart and puts it against the child's chest watching in satisfaction as the heart disappears inside her body. The man watches his handiwork, satisfied, than starts walking away.

'The girl will know,' he thinks. 'The girl will know everything that has just happened and all about me, and all my thoughts and actions. And she will know the price of living. It's only fitting that she knows after all. The heart I gave her was one of the many I have, but it's still mine. And it won't let her forget.'

Back at the car, the small child, the small girl that was dead, takes a breath and opens her eyes, staring after the 'man' who saved her as he walks away.

Normal POV

Beep! Beep! Beep! The sound is made by an alarm clock by the side of a bed. In the bed is a lump that starts to move as the voice doesn't stop.

"Ugh," moans the brunette as she emerges from the bed and closes the alarm. Mai looks around blearily, still not fully awake, when her eye happens to fall upon the clock.

"Kyaaaaa! I'm late! Naru will kill me!" Suddenly full of energy she races across the small apartment as she gets ready. As soon as she had all had all her things, she races out the apartment, pausing only to lock the door.

As she races to her job, she remembers her dream and frowns. 'I haven't dreamed about that for a while. I guess it was too much to hope that I wouldn't dream about what happened again, after all, it is his heart inside me. He was right, though. It won't let me forget. Well, enough of these depressing thoughts, I'm late and Naru is probably fuming!'

Mai raced through the streets, weaving through the crowd, until she came upon a building with a neon sign that said 'Shibuya Psychic Research'. Mai smiled as she raced up the stairs. Naru, her narcissist boss, had just recently come back from burying his brother, Gene, in England. She was really happy that he had decided to come back to Japan 6 months after he left, the whole gang had thought for sure that he would stay in England.

Mai opened the door to find Naru waiting for her, leaning against the doorway to his office. "You're late."

"I know, I know," she replied as he opened his mouth to speak again. "And wait! Don't tell me- tea."

Naru stared at her, annoyed at being cut off, and then abruptly went inside his office, slamming the door.

'Wow, talk about mood change.' She started to the kitchen to make the tea, stopping to ask Lin whether he wanted any. When the tea was ready, she poured it into two cups and gave Lin his glass. Next, she knocked on Naru's door. "Come in."

She entered and put his cup on the table. After that, she started back toward the door without a word. She didn't notice Naru staring at her as he wondered why she hadn't waited for him to say thank you like she usually did, though her efforts were in vain.

*time skip to 1:00 pm*

Mai had finished her work quickly and was now bored, putting her head against her desk as she stared blankly at the wall. She still was depressed from the dream she had, but she thought that she had done a good job of hiding it. What she didn't know was that Naru was suspicious of her abnormally quiet behavior.

"Mai, I don't pay you to be lazing around." Mai looked up to see Naru staring at her with cold blue eyes from the doorway.

"But Naaaaruuuu, there's nothing to dooooo!" She whined at him. He raised an eyebrow at her behavior. "It seems as though I'm not giving you enough work. If you really want something to do, then file these papers away." He dumped a huge pile of papers on her desk.

"What! Naru, that'll take forever!"

"You were the one who wanted something to do." He took no heed of his assistant who was quickly going from irritated to angry. "And Mai." He paused at the doorway. "Tea."

"STUPID, TEA ADDICTED NARCISSIST!" Mai shouted, and then grumbled under her breath as she stomped to the kitchen. She didn't see Naru looking at her from the doorway with soft eyes. 'At least she's back to normal now.'

RoseThorn: Please tell me what you think of it!

Naru: I'll tell you what I think- It's stupid.

RoseThorn: *mumbles under breath* It's okay Rose, you just have to wait until Mai gets here. Don't blow up. Keep the anger in. It won't be fair to Mai if something bad happens to everyone just because of Naru.

Naru: *looks disturbed* If you want her to stop going crazy then review.
