Naru ran down the street, his feet sprinting through the puddles on the sidewalks. The rain drenched his jacket and his hair was plastered to his face but he paid no attention. He only wanted to make sure…make sure that Mai was safe.

Lin was at his heals, obviously confused as to why Naru took off running out of the office in the first place. The Chinese man had been sitting in his office when his young boss darted out through the main door and he, being concerned for the boy, ran after him.

Naru's breathing was deep and labored as he pushed aside the pain in his legs. He really needed to exercise more often. The sirens became longer and the flashing lights grew brighter as they neared the accident.

The boy pushed his way through the thick crowd of on-seers. After making his way through the maze of people he stopped in his tracks.

A car had been crashed halfway through a building wall. EMT's were trying to lift the car up off of what seemed like a body to get the person out before it was too late.

"They're alright! The car didn't land on them, just above them! Quick get some oxygen tanks over here, the little boy looks unresponsive!" one of the EMT's yelled over the noise.

Naru could here the crowd's murmurs. "There's more than one person under there?" "Oh no! The car's starting to catch fire!" "I heard that there were two kids under the car!"

There was a group of firefighters trying to get the unconscious driver out before the car light on fire and a line of police officers pushing the crowd back to give them space.

Naru's eyes widened as a flash of a familiar pink sweater caught his attention.

"Mai!" he yelled as he saw the EMT's pull the girl out from under the car. He pushed his way passed the policemen and ran up to the brunette. "Mai!"

"Naru?" the girl turned to him. Her clothes were slightly torn and dirty but she seemed unharmed. However, in her arms was a little boy around the age of four who seemed to be unconscious.

The girl held onto the boy, not noticing the doctors trying to take him out of her arms and attend to the two of them. Mai's eyes were full of worry and sadness as she looked up at her boss. "Naru…he's not breathing…"

Tears started rolling down her cheeks, causing a heartbreaking ache in Naru's chest.

"Miss, please! We have to help this child!" one of the EMT's pleaded to her. Mai finally took notice to the doctors and hurriedly placed the child into their care, apologizing continuously.

Naru walked up to the girl and stopped right in front of her. Her tears still rolled down her soiled cheeks and he reached up, gently rubbing them away.

"Mai…thank Kami you're alright," he whispered and suddenly pulled the shocked girl into a tight embrace. "Are you hurt? Let the doctors look at you. I don't want anything to happen to you!" he blurted out without thinking and froze once he noticed what he said.

Mai backed up a bit to look at him; the rain was soaking their clothes but they paid it no heed. "Do…do you really mean that?" she asked softly.

Naru's eyes smiled and he nodded, finally truly understanding what the feeling he had been having in his chest was. Everything around them seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in their own little world. "Of course…why do you think I came back to Japan?...Mai I love you," he stated seriously.

"Naru I…I…"

"Yes?"

"You have beautiful eyes," she smiled a lopsided smile, like one a drunken person would give.

Naru was taken aback. "What?"

"Where'd I put that tea? Oh, it's under the car lemme go ge' it and I'll go make some fo' you," she slurred and tried to wobble over to the crash sight. "Is it just me or is really cold in her?"

"'In here?' Mai! We're not in the office, we're outside…Are you sure you're okay?" he asked suspiciously, raising and eyebrow at the girl. Then he noticed the large red bump on the top of her head.

"Oh! I was wondering why the office got a lot damper than usual. Boy does my head hurt. You know…I think I'll just take a little nap," she giggled and suddenly fell face first towards the ground. Luckily Naru was fast enough to catch her before she hit. He looked down at her sleeping face and sighed. She was unconscious…but at least she was alive.

The EMT's hurried over to him and took her into the ambulance. One of the doctors came over to Naru and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"She should be alright. Are you her boy friend?"

"…Yes," Naru answered. At least I hope she'll agree to be my girlfriend when I ask her, the boy thought inwardly nervously.

"Well then, I must say, that is a very caring girl you've got there," the man informed. "She saved that little boy she was holding. One of the witnesses said that he saw her grab the little boy as the car came towards them. If she didn't protect that child by shielding him with her own body then that boy would have been long gone by now. It's a miracle that she didn't get badly hurt in the process and only got a bumped head. She must have a guardian angel following her around."

Naru smiled slightly. "I bet she does," he agreed. That girl needs one. She's a magnet to danger.

"Seeing as you are her boyfriend, you should come to the hospital with her," the doctor voiced.

Naru nodded and followed the man into the ambulance that held Mai.

(At the hospital)

"Davis-san?" a voice rang out into the nearly abandoned waiting room.

Naru looked up from the uncomfortable wooden chair. "Hai?"

"We are about to run an MRI on Taniyama-san. There doesn't seem to be anything horribly wrong with her, just a bump on the head and a few bruised ribs. I'm surprised she didn't have any broken bones after that accident."

"Ah," Naru agreed in his usual monotone voice.

The doctor smiled reassuringly to the young man and exited the room.

Thirty minutes later, the doctor returned with a slightly puzzled expression.

Naru raised an eyebrow and stood up from his seat. "What is it?"

"Well…"
