Naru's POV

It seems like her wounds has stopped bleeding. Jeez, this is so troublesome. Where is Gene anyway?! If he had not disappeared, I would not have escaped from the castle and encounter this problem. Also, why is this girl in this condition?

Mai's POV

I stirred and slowly opened my eyes and saw a man. "Who… are you?" I asked the black haired stranger. My head is dizzy and my body is so painful. "Shouldn't you give your name first before you ask others?" he asked, lifting up and an eyebrow.

Naru's POV

Looks like the girl is awake. I am surprised that she didn't know who I am. Oh well, might as well play along. "My name is Mai Taniyama."She introduced herself. Oh. So she came from a noble family. Wait. Mai Taniyama… Why does that sounds familiar? "Kazuya Shibuya. What do you have does wounds?" I decided to lie about my identity and asked her. She tensed up. "I-I'm a b-bit clumsy and f-fell on the w-way." Mai stuttered but I know that she's lying. I wonder why she's lying though. Mai kept staring at me. When I saw her staring, I smirked, "I know I'm handsome but please stop staring." Mai was dumbfounded and then she exclaimed, "You're a narcissist so I'm going to call you Naru." But I just stood up and extend my hand, "Can you stand up?" She nodded and took my hand. "Where is your house?" I asked and Mai suddenly froze. "I-I am not going back there, I g-guess. Where are you going?" she asked. "I'm going to find a shelter and stay there before resuming my search," I explained. "Can I come with you? I'll help search for whoever you are searching for? Who is he anyway?" Mai asked me. "Suits yourself. I'm looking for my brother." I said coldly and starts walking. I quickly follow him.

AFTER WALKING FOR SOMETIME

We spotted a small cottage and it seems like it's abandoned. We decided to stay there tonight. As soon as we reach the cottage, Mai suddenly collapsed. "Mai!" I shouted while catching her fragile body. I immediately relaxed when I heard her snoring softly. I soon follow her to dreamland too.

MAI'S DREAM

I kept running and running even if I don't know what's chasing me. However I do know one fact and that is I must run or else something bad will happen to me. Suddenly, Masako & Misaki appeared and started to attack me with the knives that they have brought. They were about stabbed my heart when I suddenly woke up.

SOMETIME AROUND MIDNIGHT

A heart wrenching scream wake me up in the middle of the night. I immediately realized that it's Mai's. I quickly wake her up.

Mai's POV

My eyes suddenly snapped open and saw Naru with a concerned look on his face. Tears started to fall from my eyes and I quickly hug him with all my might, not wanting to let go. "Shush. It's okay. You're alright." He kept on repeating comforting words until I had finally stopped crying. When he find out that I've calm down, he immediately asked, "What on earth have actually happened to you? I know that you didn't fall to get those wounds."

Ai-chan: So somehow it's a cliffhanger huh?

Gene: Hey, my love. Did you miss me?

Ai-chan: *blushes* of course not Naru. Are you drunk?

Gene: *pouts* Geez, Ai-chan! I not that workaholic. It's me Gene.

Naru: What are you doing here, stupid medium?

Gene: Ah, it is Naru the narcissist.

Ai-chan: *sweat drops and turns to the audience* Please R&R.

To Yugure no bara – Thank you for reviewing and about Gene it's a secret .
