Secret

Disclaimer: I would have kept Gene alive and killed Naru… then Mai would have fallen for Gene, hehe

Watching her sleep has put me on edge. So helpless and innocent laying there, but the moment she wakes chaos and idiotic tendencies will be left behind her.

I do not know if she will be fine after waking or if I will have to save her later on. She appears to be a magnet for trouble. First she practically maims Lin when he tries to save her. Falls down a well. Pulls me into a sewer, which would not have been all that bad if she hadn't waken up right when I was about to find a way to kiss her sleeping lips. And now she has fallen prey to formaldehyde, I have a feeling that this is not the last time she will be causing us trouble.

When I have found her trapped in the room I didn't know what to do except to get her out. I could have almost sworn that I heard a familiar voice telling me to save her, but I know that is impossible. Though once I think on it, I seem to always know when she is in trouble and where to find her… It must be my imagination.

I have to find Ayako, even if she has not really told everyone I know that she has medical training and will be able to help. Though the thought of leaving Mai on the bed troubles me so instead I find the phone to call Lin and tell him to bring the miko. As I wait for them to come I look at the girl and feel as though I should just sit and watch, but I cannot settle for just watching. Carefully I make my way to her bed and sit on the side looking at her. When I had carried her here I had thoughts of holding her tightly to myself running through my head and now they have returned. Concentrating as Lin had taught me I find that I am still distracted by her breathing. Leaning down ever so gently, my lips brush against hers in the slightest of kisses. I straiten and just watch and wait for Lin and Ayako, while Mai may never realize what I feel, I know how she feels though it seems too good to be true, maybe it isn't, but this slight touch will help get me through. I hope that the day will come when I can tell her all of my secrets and hold her to give myself strength.

A/N: just my thoughts on what could have happened while Mai was unconscious… yeah it was out of character but hey, it was fun.
