Hey sorry it took me so long to update, but I've been busy with a project (which I still haven't finished) and of course studying for math. Daylight savings messed me up to, so I've been tired for the past 2 days (explains more to my laziness). But enough about my troubles, I should just continue on to the story and stop procrastinating. So I finally got some inspiration and hopefully I will update the next chapter faster. Oh and for everyone who wants to know, the next chapter will have more of them realizing their feelings.

"Mai can you walk?" Naru asked. Mai didn't know. Her legs were now burning with pain, and she was feeling hot. She was afraid that she would have to got to the hospital, and be left there alone to heal, while Naru was in England. 'That's right he's leaving tomorrow.' Mai thought. While she was stuck in her thoughts, Naru was trying to move Mai away from the weak spot in the floor.
Finally Mai remembered that Naru had asked her a question and answered. "Naru, I don't think I can move my legs very well." Mai said. Mai's answer made Naru nervous and cautious about how he was moving her around. He didn't want to cause her more pain then she already was. She had deep gashes running down her legs, which were still bleeding. Along with her bloody legs, her hands were cut up from scraping against the floorboards.
Wanting help, Naru picked Mai up, and walked slowly over to a chair for her to sit down in. Naru knew that he needed to get help for her, so he pulled out his cell phone and called an ambulance to come to the school and pick her up. Naru didn't think that Lin would be very enthusiastic to come and pick Naru up at the hospital, but he wouldn't have a choice. For the time being, Naru was going to stay at Mai's side for as long as he could. Before he would have to say good-bye.
Naru was determined on staying with Mai until he knew that she was safe. The rain outside was getting quieter, but it was still raining. As Naru recalled his conversation with the hospital, he remembered that he forgot to mention that they were on the third floor. "shit" he muttered.
However in a few minutes, thumping of footsteps could be heard from the hallway. Once they had reached the two, the ambulence team brought Mai out into the ambulence. Naru was with Mai the whole time, holding her hand while in the ambulence on the way to the hospital. During the ride, the meds asked Naru questions about what had happened to Mai.
Once they got to the hospital, Mai was wheeled away to a room while Naru had to stay in the waiting room. Naru didn't think that anything serious was going to be wrong with Mai, but knowing her you never know. Naru knew that Lin would be starting to get impatient with him, so he decided to call Lin and tell him what happened.
Lin was in the office waiting for Noll to come back with an angry if not crying Mai. It was getting late, and he was starting to wonder where Noll was. Even if it was still raining, it shouldn't take this long to walk her back here if not back home. Lin was then startled as he heard his phone ring. As he looked at the caller ID, he knew that Noll wouldn't be coming back to the office.
"Hello? Yes I'm still at the office Noll, why?" When Lin heard where he was, he was startled but he soon calmed down as he heard that it was Main in the hospital and not Noll. "Right Noll I'll be over there in a few minutes." Lin hung up the phone and sighed. He then went to the van to go meet up with Noll at the hospital.
Naru was getting worried. It had nearly been half an hour since Mai had been admitted, but no news yet or Lin. 'Where is he?' Naru thought. Other than thinking about what Lin was doing that could take him so long, he was also wondering if the cuts on her body were really that serious. As he was about to get angry and storm up to the lady at the desk, when a doctor came in.
"Taniyama Mai party?" the doctor asked. Naru was the only one to stand up, and walked up to the doctor. "So how is Mai?" he asked. The doctor started at him for a minute but then signaled Naru to follow. "It seems that she has twisted her ankle, and has some mild bruises and cuts on her legs, back, and hands. We wanted to make sure that those were the only things wrong, but then we noticed some symptoms."
Naru was a little taken back by this. "Symptoms? Like what?" He asked. As they continued walking down the hall, the doctor explained. "We noticed that she had a fever, and that every once in awhile her foot would twitch randomly, and that her jaw would lock." To Naru, who wasn't a doctor, it just sounded like she got a fever from the bad weather, and was uncomfortable with whatever the doctors where doing to her.
But the doctor continued. "So we did a few tests and found something." The doctor paused in the hallway in front of a door. After waiting for the doctor to continue, Naru looked at the door as well. Currently the door was labeled "306". If Naru remembered correctly, that was the room Mai was in.
