Hello! I have a new chap that hasn't been seen! I really wasn't going to update because not many people reviewed... I had already posted the other chapters, but not this one! I really would love if you wonderful people reviewed! I am starting to lose faith in this story! Please R&R!


At the end of the week, Mai had the tubes and casts off. She was still being monitored though. Ayako said she would be able to leave in the next few days if she will be looked after once she got out. If she will be left to fend for herself, end of the week if she's lucky. Naru and Gene had both said Mai could stay with them. Gene had a spare room in the flat he was staying in and Naru said he would sleep on the sofa. Madoka said Mai could stay with her and Lin. They also had a spare room. Martin and Luella said the same. Mai was so grateful, but decided to stay with Naru... and Gene of course...

It was Gene's shift. His third shift since Mai had woken up, but first while Mai was awake. Gene was late, and had just walked in holding two carriage bags.

"Hey Mai! I'm sorry I'm late!" Gene greeted, smiling sheepishly. Mai smiled back at him.

"It's ok" Mai confirmed. Gene sat on the bed next to her.

"I got you some snacks! I know hospital food leaves much to be desired" Gene confessed, pulling out some fruit, as well as some savoury food he had brought. Mai smiled.

"Awe! Thank you Gene" Mai smiled, blushing a little. No one was ever really nice to her.

"I was talking to Naru earlier" Gene started. Mai giggled at the use of her nickname for him "And he said you were very intelligent" Mai smiled, blushing slightly.

"He did?" Mai asked, playing with her fingers slightly.

"Yeah!" Gene confirmed. Mai smirked. Gene raised a brow.

"It didn't stop him from calling me a lesser mind... the jerk" Mai commented playfully.

"That's actually a good sign" Gene confirmed "He would normally ignore people, teasing for him is a good sign" Mai smiled. That's when the door burst open. A boy stood at the doorway, looking worried.

"Mai!" He yelled, running to her and hugging her. Dropping a bag on the floor.

"Yasu? What are you doing here?" Mai asked, hugging him back. Gene raised a brow at the new comer. Was this Mai's... Mai's boyfriend?

"You were hospitalised dummy! What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't look out for my little Mai-Chan?!" Yasu asked. Gene signed in relief. They weren't dating. That's when Yasu noticed him. "Who might this be?" He asked.

"I'm Eugene Davis" Gene introduced, extending his hand and smiling sweetly.

"It's nice to meet you Davis-San" Yasu greeted slowly, shaking his hand and racking his brain. He knew that name...

"I'm Osamu Yasuhara" He greeted. "How do you know Mai-Chan?"

"Well, um, it's kind of my fault she's here in the first place..." Gene stated, looking at his hands. He looked a little guilty.

"It's not! Don't say that Gene!" Mai scolded gently.

"I was crossing the road, and a car sped up to me. I couldn't even move and Mai pushed me out the way, but was hit herself. It would have killed me, and to be honest, from what I heard, if Mai was even a second later, she might not have made it" Gene confessed, playing with her hands. He felt worse than terrible, but it was only fair to tell him. He was worried about Mai, he deserved to know the truth.

"That doesn't make it your fault!" Mai defended.

"Fine, well it's good to see your ok" Yasu smiled, putting his hand on hers. Gene wasn't sure what to think. "Oh, I nearly forgot!" Yasu then picked up his bag, pulling out a slightly smaller gift bag. Mai took the bag and looked inside, took out a book and blushed. "I remembered you said you wanted it?" Yasu asked slowly, not understanding the blush. Gene looked at the book and grinned. It was one of his brothers books, 'Spiral Investigation'.

"Th-thank you" Mai looked down, smiling shyly. Yasu was still lost. He then looked at the book himself, and saw the writer's name. It was written by Oliver Davis's... Davis... The brother of Eugene Davis... Gene Davis. It finally clicked.

"WAIT! YOUR OLIVER DAVIS'S BROTHER!" Yasu yelled, turning into a bit of a fan girl.

"Yes, and he will be here in an hour or so for lunch" Gene informed, smiling as Yasu's jaw dropped to the ground.

"MAI! YOUR FRIENDS WITH OLIVER DAVIS!" He yelled in disbelief. Mai nodded sheepishly. Yasu looked like he was about to faint.

"Please, when he gets here, don't freak out" Mai warned while smiling. It was kind of scary.

"Fine, but if I'm meeting him, I need to go change! I want to look all smart!" Yasu squealed "You might want to change as well, you look horrible!" Yasu teased. He then jumped off the bed so Mai couldn't hurt him.

"Jackass!" Mai called, trying to swing a punch at Yasu, missing, but only just. That's when a knock on the door sounded, before Naru walked in.

"Morning Mai, Gene" He greeted.

"Morning Naru!" Mai called, smiling and hiding the book under her pillow.

"What's up my brother~" Gene sang. Mai had to cover her mouth to stop from laughing. Naru raised a brow.

"Don't say that" he then noticed Yasu. He looked like he was hyperventilating.

"You're- You're- You're Oliver Davis!" Yasu squealed.

"Your such a dork" Mai muttered. Although Yasu heard, he didn't listen. Naru then looked at Mai questioningly.

"Yes, and you are?" he asked, looking back at Yasu.

"I'm, um... I'm, um... um" Yasu muttered, unable to answer. Naru looked back at the highly amused duo.

"That's Osamu Yasuhara, he's a friend of mine... Well as long as he stops doing whatever it is he's doing" Mai added, earning a smirk, a grin, and a frown. (I think you can work out who did what).

"So this is the boy you were talking to on the phone the other day" Oliver commented. Mai nodded.

"Wait Mai! That was last week... You knew Oliver Davis for a week and didn't tell me!" Yasu demanded, finally finding his voice.

"Hmm, I wonder why?" Mai asked sarcastically, tilting her head and raising her index finger to her lip. Yasu pouted, walking to the corner and sitting down on the floor. "Sorry about him" Mai said, gesturing to Yasu.

"It's fine" Oliver told her, walking to the other side of her bed and sitting down on the chair next to her. "How are you?"

"I'm better. I still get a little light-headed every so often, but it not as bad as it use to be" Mai admitted.

"Hey, do you think Miss Masuzaki would let you out for lunch?" Gene asked, wondering if the two had forgotten he was their.

"I- I don't know, should we ask?" Mai cursed herself for stuttering. She had been openly gazing at Oliver.

"Yes we should! Come on Yasuhara, let's go find her!" Gene cheered, practically ushering Yasu out.

"Bye Mai! Oliver Davis!" Yasu called as the door shut.

"So... what was that you hid under your pillow?" Naru asked. Mai blushed.

"Wha-What book?!" Mai shot, cursing herself for stuttering. Naru smirked.

"You are a terrible liar. I didn't even say anything about a book" Naru pointed out. The fact pleased him slightly. Lying and general sneakiness wasn't Mai's thing. Naru reached for her pillow, and Mai pushed his hand away.

"Mai" Naru warned.

"It's nothing Naru" Mai whined, somewhat weakly.

"Then why are you trying so hard to hide it?" Naru asked. Mai pouted. When Naru's gaze didn't waver, Mai gave up. She pulled the book from under her pillow. Naru smirked. "Now why would you hid this?"

"I didn't really need to boost you ego" Mai muttered, still pouting childishly. Naru found it endearing, allowing a small smile. That's when Yasu and Gene came back in, followed by Ayako.

"Mai! How are you feeling?" She asked, checking the clipboard at the bottom of her bed that had the results from her last check up.

"Fine, I felt a little light-headed a few hours ago, but since then, I've been fine" Mai answered honestly. Ayako nodded in understanding.

"If I let her go for an hour, and not a second longer, and say she starts getting dizzy, bring her back straight away. And who will take responsiblity for her?" Ayako asked, looking at the three men in the room.

"That would be me" Oliver volunteered. Mai smiled, ignoring the slight flutter in her stomach.

"Fine. Make sure she doesn't push herself, and if she gets tired, carry her. She's not heavy" Ayako ordered. Oliver nodded obediently. "I will need you both to sigh this" Ayako informed, giving them a form and a pen. Mai sighed first, not bothering to read it.

"Mai, you should really read things before you sigh them. You could have just signed away your house" Oliver teased. Mai blushed, peaking at the form. Ayako snorted. Naru scanned it before signing his name as well.

"Good! Well now, let me help you get dressed! Boys, get out!" Ayako ordered, ushering them out the door...
