Chapter 7: A Fight
Mai's POV:
"I'm scared Naru," I sniffed after a long time of silence, "What if that really happens to me? I don't think I could deal with that."
"Nothing's going to happen to you, I won't let anyone or anything hurt you," Naru said, tightening his arms around me.
"But how do you know?" I asked.
Naru sighed and took my face in his cold hands. I flinched, but he didn't let go. My eyes were closed, tears still spilling down my cheeks unchecked, but I could feel him staring and waiting for me to open my eyes.
Slowly, I opened my eyes to find his indigo ones. "I promise," he said, then leaned down, pressing his lips to mine. Without a second thought, I started kissing him back, my tears drying up and my sobs all but disappearing.
When we pulled apart he held me against his chest. "Now do you believe me?" he asked.
"I never said I didn't," I whispered, relaxing into his embrace and falling asleep to the rhythm of his heart beat.
To soon for my liking, I was awoken by the sound of fighting. Slwoly, I opened my eyes to gage the disturbance.
"You are not allowed in here," Naru said, standing in front of me.
I looked around Naru's legs to look at the man in the doorway. Natsume stood there, glaring at Naru, but when he noticed me peeking from behind Naru he smiled.
Naru glanced down at me. I sat up quickly and grabbed the hem of Naru's jacket, looking around him.
"What do you want Natsume?" I asked, malice hidden in the back of my voice.
Everyone started at my tone. I had never really talked to someone with such undisguised hatred before. Not even when I first met Naru and thought he would let horrible things happen.
Natsume flinched, but carried on, "Come on Mai, after all these years you still hate me?"
"Who wouldn't?" I asked, glaring at his fain niceness.
"Mai, what is he talking about?" Monk asked, looking between the two of us, confusion etched into his brow.
"I don't know, most sane women," he growled, what little self control he carried beginning to slip.
"No, most sane women would hate you as much as I do," I growled back, sounding more like a wild dog then a girl right about now.
"I don't know why you hate me!" he yelled.
"Like hell you don't! You know exactly what you did wrong!" I yelled back my voice louder than his by a good amount.
"Both of you calm down. What are you guys talking about?" Ayako asked, but we both ignored her.
"Then please, be so kind to enlighten me! What did I do that was so wrong that would warrant you hating me so vehemently?"
I was standing by now and probably would have launched myself at him if John and Naru hadn't been holding me back. "You tried to force yourself on me. You lied to me. You cheating on me. Must I go on?" I spat at him.
"I only did those things once. Every guy does it at least once!"
"Don't you dare, don't you fucking dare try to say that you only did those things once," I hissed menacingly like a feral. Everyone backed away from me except for Naru who was still restraining me. "You did it over and over again."
He rolled his eyes and said again, "Every guy does it."
"That doesn't make it right or mean you should do it too!" I yelled, "And how would you know that? You're not every guy!"
"So? It's in the past. Why can't you just forget it already?"
I stared at him in disbelief. "Get out," I heard a cold voice say to Natsume over my shoulder. Naru's arm was wrapped tightly around my waist, but I wasn't so sure if it was to hold me or himself back from hurting him.
"You have no right to tell me what to do. I'm talking to her, not you, so piss off," Natsume said, glaring at Naru.
I bristled, griping Naru's arm more tightly. "Don't talk down to him like he's less then you, you mutt."
"Oh, so you've already found a new boyfriend. I was right, you're just a slut."
"What did you just call her?" Ayako started to ask before I cut her off.
"It's been two years. Get over me, get over yourself and get out," I said slowly and deliberately, pronouncing every syllable.
He stared at me. He scoffed, turning towards the door, "I don't even know why I'm trying to get you back. I'm to good for you anyway."
As he opened the door three shoes flew at the back of his head along with mine followed by several crayons from little Jamie. Natsume glared and flipped us the bird before slamming the door as several more shoes and crayons flew at him.
I slumped to the ground, already exhausted. Naru sat down heavily on the couch, sighed. It was quiet for a long moment before Ayako burst out in agitation, "What an asshole! How could you date a guy like that Mai?"
I shook my head, not knowing the answer myself. Shakily, I got to my feet. "I'm going to make tea," I said, stumbling to the door.
"Ouch!" I said as I clutched the door knob. The burn on my right hand reminded me that it was still there with a sharp stab of pain. "Can someone come help me?" I asked sheepishly.
Naru stood up. "I'll help you," he said before we walked out.
So how was it? Was it okay? I'm not really used to writing drama, but for this chapter I was going off of my own experiences, sort of, well, the things that Natsume did was from my own experiences
Anyway, hope you liked this chapter, review please!
