rubyxdragon (1,2) Don't worry, he won't kill but maybe he would hurt her... Haha, just read!

flamegirl5500 (1) Her father told her to take the gun as a charm. Maybe Mai would or maybe not too! (still a mystery!!)

canadianviolet (1,2) Thank you! Lin was surprised, maybe he thought that she is a thief :p ?

hehe (1) Ok, I'll make sure she will

chibi-chan(1) Maybe I should make the girls are stronger than the boys? (laugh) Maybe if they were fighting, Madoka would win. (Lin and Naru are afraid to her anyway)

xSapphirexRosesxFanx (2) here's the update! Sorry to make you waiting!

Happy reading!!

Chap 3

When she saw Lin attacked. Mai unconsciously responded to defend herself, they were fighting for a while. Mai thought that she could escape but Lin was caught her off guard. He slammed her down. Mai yelped in pain.

Lin pulled a small sword out and put it on Mai's neck. Mai gasped.

"Who are you?" Lin asked. "What are you doing here?"

"At least let me go first! It's hurt!" Mai complained. Lin pushed the sword and drew some blood from her neck. "He is unkind..." Mai grumbled.

Madoka came in to see the ruckus. "Lin! Stop!" She shouted. She pulled Lin away and helped Mai to sit. Mai coughed a bit. "Oh my God! Are you alright, Mai-chan?" Mai nodded while touching her neck. "I'm sorry! I forgot to tell him that you're here!" Madoka panicked.

Lin looked at them confused. "You know her?" Lin asked.

"She is Taniyama Mai, the new maid here!" Madoka exclaimed.

"I..."

"Listen to me, Lin koujo! How many time I must warned you to ask first before act!" Madoka scolded him.

"You could die first if you asked." He reasoned.

"For God's sake, Lin!" Madoka glared at him.

"It's alright, Madoka-san. He's right for some reason..." Mai said.

Madoka sighed heavily. "You're really alright? You're still recovering from your previous wound..." She asked in concern.

"I'm really alright!" Mai said cheerfully. Lin took the bandage from the aid kit and patched her wound. Mai stunned in confuse.

"I'm sorry, Taniyama-san." He apologized.

"It's alright Lin-san... and thank you!" Mai smiled at him. He went out the kitchen.

"You're a weird girl. Why did you thank him?" Madoka asked.

"For help me to patch my wound, of course..." Mai answered. Madoka laughed a bit. She helped Mai to arrange the things. She told her a bit about Lin.

After finished with it, Mai searched for Ayako and gave the rest of money back. They met at the garden when Ayako was astonished. Mai had plant some small plant there. The garden had a tea scent too. The place was good to grow tea because it was on the hill. "I told you that you gave me too much!" Mai said.

Ayako looked at her strangely. "Have you bought all the stuff I wrote in the list?" She asked.

"Yes, all of them. I bought more than you asked but there's still left a lot. I have used it a bit too." Mai explained. Ayako smiled and patted Mai's head. Mai blinked in confuse.

"Here, take it." Ayako gave her the money.

"But it is too much!" Mai declined.

Ayako put the money on her hand and smiled. "Just take it. You could consider it as your payment."

"But..."

"I'm tired! Let's go back!" Ayako changed the topic. Mai nodded in defeat.

They walked to their room while chattering. Mai told Ayako about Lin. Ayako laughed. Gene and Lin met them at the corridor. "Hi, Mai." Gene greeted.

"Gene! Welcome home! When did you come back?" Mai asked.

"I just came back. I bring my friend here." Gene pointed at Lin.

"She had seen him, you know. He had GREETED Mai too!" Ayako mocked.

Lin looked away blushed unnoticed by the other. "Lin..." Gene glared at him.

"It's alright, he did a logical thing." Mai defended him.

Gene sighed. "But Mai, you did a great job! I didn't recognize my own home when I came back!" Mai blushed a bit.

"I didn't see any different." Naru commented out of nowhere. Mai jumped a bit. She didn't realize his presence but she scowled at his comment.

Mai put her hand on her hip. "You must learn to appreciate the other's work, Naru-chan." Mai critized. They looked at her stunned.

"What did you call me just now?" Naru asked. Mai sweatdropped.

"Shit, I blurted out..." Mai murmured.

"Mai, are you calling me N..."

"Ah! The other calls you that too, isn't it! Naru the Narcissist! I know that!" Mai said while patting Naru's shoulder. The other sweatdropped.

Houshou and Madoka laughed loudly. John was chuckled furiously. They was accidentally heard the conversation.

Naru scowled and went away. Gene breathed out and chuckled a bit. He smiled at Mai and went to follow his brother. Lin bowed and went with them.

"You had a great sense! Naru-chan is perfect for him!" Ayako said in her laughter.

"You're really interesting, Mai-chan." Madoka said.

"I want a daughter like you! Here come to your father!" Houshou said as he hugged me tightly.

"..Can't.. breath..." Mai said.

Ayako hit Houshou's head. "Release her, pervert." Ayako yelled.

Houshou let Mai go and smirked at Ayako. "Do you want to be hugged to Aya-chan?" He teased and received another hit. It sure would be a bump on his head later.

After dinner, Mai was left alone with Naru because Gene took the other for some business. Mai wanted to come along but the other resisted.

"Naru-chan, don't do anything to my daughter okay?" Houshou said half-joking.

"Since when she becomes your daughter?" Ayako commented. They started to bicker again.

"Here they go again..." John sighed. Mai and Madoka laughed.

"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Gene whispered to Naru. They were a bit far from them. "You could do it now."

"I'll manage somehow. Don't worry." Naru said. Gene nodded and went to join the other.

"Bye!" Mai waved to them. They went down the hill by horse. "What business they had in the middle of night like this?" Mai asked to Naru after the other gone. Naru raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth but Mai cut him before he mocked her again. "Okay, I know.. It's not my business.." Mai pouted. She came into the mansion.

Naru's pov

I chuckled when I heard she said "that arrogant, self important, handsome, cool, narcissist!" I couldn't guess if she praise me or critize me. I looked at the moon. I hoped nothing happen.

I went back to the mansion and took some books. I took it to the garden and start to read. I had asked when the sprinkle actived. I didn't want to get soaked again.

The garden smelled nice. The seeds that she planted start to grow. This place looked more alive. Maybe I should make her to work here longer. The others seemed like her company too. Especially Gene, since he stayed with me, I rarely saw his honest smile. He was always smiling even he was sad.

Suddenly the door opened. She came to me and put a cup of tea on the table in front of me and took the other for herself. She sat on the chair oppose me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked curiously.

She sighed and looked at me annoyed. "I couldn't sleep and when I take a walk, I saw you here at least you can say thanks because I made tea for you..." She answered.

"I didn't ask you too." I said and took a sip. She made a good tea.

Mai glared at me for awhile and sighed. I thought she know that she wouldn't win against me. She stared at the sky quietly. Her hair was blown by the wind. It showed her slender neck. She looked pretty under the moon light.

Suddenly I felt my body was hot. My throat was dry and my head was dizzy. I fall down from the chair. Mai surprised. She immediately stood up and ran to me.

"Don't come!" I shouted. She backed a bit. "Go away!"

I clenched my fist tightly. The pain ran down my body. I knelt down, my hands supported my body. I started to sweat badly. My heart was beating louder and faster. I struggled to breath. I cried in pain. 'Please not now! I don't want to hurt her!'

I felt someone touched me. "Naru, Are you alright? Naru!" Mai asked in concern.

"Stupid girl! I told you to go away!" I shouted while fighting against my instinct.

"I can't leave you like this, Naru!"

My conscious went away. I couldn't control my body. I looked at Mai. She was panicked. She worried about me?

My body started to calm. I touched her cheek. She jumped a bit and blushed. "Na.. Naru?" She asked. "Are you alright? Your hand is cold..." She touched my hand. Her hand was warm.

I pulled her closer. She yelped in surprise. I chuckled a bit. I licked her neck. She was trembling a bit and squeacked. I loved to hear her voice and she smelt nice. I could felt her heartbeat increasing everytime I moved. I couldn't control myself anymore.

Mai's pov

Naru suddenly pulled me and licked my neck. His warm breathe tickled me. What is he doing! I could felt my own heartbeat! I bet he heard it too. Was he going to tease me again?

"Mai..." He whispered with raspy voice. I felt a strange aura. I knew this aura...

I tried to push him but he was stronger than me. He licked my neck again. I can't suppress my reaction. Damn it! I grabbed my gun which tied on my thigh but I stopped before I pull it. Can I shoot him? No, I don't want to shoot him... What should I do? Think harder, Mai! If you didn't shoot him, he will suck you up! Dammit! Where's everyone in the time like this!

Naru lifted his hand and pulled the bandage from my neck. The wound from Lin's sword was bleeding again. He licked at the wound. The shiver started to ran down.

"Mai... Your blood is delicious..." He whispered.

"Naru, stop it!" I demanded. But he just chuckled.

I hissed a bit when two sharp fangs bitten me. Naru sucked my blood. How stupid I was... I couldn't realize that he is a vampire sooner.

Now he bit my neck and drew my blood out with no mercy.

I couldn't push him even I struggled. My hand fell limp beside me as my mind became hazed.

"I don't want to die..." I whispered before I fell unconscious.

Whoops! Another cliffhanger! (laugh)

Naru is a vampire! What will happen to Mai?!
