Chapter 7

A Morning with Mai

6:30 A.M.

Naru's POV…

Aw God, did I sleep in my desk yet again? My waist is killing me,…wait, I am on my bed sleeping with Mai…SLEEPING WITH MAI HOLY!?

I woke from my sleep all sudden and found Mai holding onto my waist and would I think it would be soft as an angel? WRONG! Her grip is much stronger than from last night. I feel like I'm being squeezed in half like some toothpaste tube. No other way out…damn I am never letting her stay in my bed again! I can't even move my legs! Every time I move, she seems like she won't let go of me, Mai you're such a chi-

"Naru…" she's whispering my name? well this isn't the first time right? So why it is my organic heart felt like someone is sticking a darn scalpel?

'Well it is because you're in lo-" Shut up there's no proof so why-

"Naru…" damn she's whispering again I wonder what's - shut it Noll!

Staring at her…I waited for her to say something else besides my name. Her eyebrow twitches and her grip was getting stronger that I swear I could feel her nails digging on me.

"You freakin' jerk!…serve your own stupid tea!" she actually dream things like that!? What kind of girl is she?

'I don't know but she's sure is cu-' SHUT UP ALREADY! I don't think emotions are my color it was Gene's anyway he's too bright and I'm…well never got any thought of that so here I go, I hope she's doesn't wake up like this.

All right, all I need to do is move my body around so she would shift…damn I'm not good with close spaces. Lying back is no problem if I move around pretending to sleep.

No problem yea right I tried my hardest to loose her grip then I sighed in defeat guess I have to wait…this is stupidity I tell you.

End…

8:00 A.M.

Mai could feel breathing in front of her face and it was really bothering her so she gave a grunt and said before opening her eyes,

"Mishii, I should have made you high from sniffing too much of that cat-"

"What are you talking about?" Naru interrupted as Mai's eyes widen then,

"GYAA!" she cried as she fell out of bed. Naru sat up and started massaging each side of his body.

"Took you long enough as expected. You were in at it about your pet cat." he lied. Naru could see her streak of red on her face and boy; does this guy like to tease her or what?

"Not to mention last night was a bit rough don't you think?" he moved his bangs to the side where the sunlight could reach his face…and his smirking lips.

"WA-WHAT!?" Mai cried in panic as she quickly took the blankets and covered herself.

"You didn't!?" she said but he quickly answered,

"I didn't, but you did. Holding on my waist and thrusting me around was really a pain."

Mai's whole body was deep red and her hair was all messed up by looking at the man in front of her giving her a naughty smirk.

Mai heard him sigh and he went to her side of the bed and said in a sly tone,

"Lin and Bou-san and not to mention everyone else is gone for whatever the reason just because it's none of my business I have you know I'm stuck with you means nothing will ever happen. So I'm warning you Taniyama…you don't know what's under my sleeves."

With that Mai growled in anger and whispered,

"You narcissistic, big-headed, psychotic nutcase!"

Naru closed his eyes and said,

"I knew you would say something stupid, if you're wondering where your cloths are, look for it yourself, otherwise I have to kick you out of my house with those cloths on."

Standing up, he went straight the door and left it open, leaving Mai with a pout face.

"Damn the bastard, I swear I'll make his life as hell, just you wait Kazuya Shibuya.," she swore.

(…)

Mai was mumbling a lot of crap in her mouth how she will her gets her hands on her boss neck,

'I mean what the hell did he have to hide my cloths from me, he has no right.!'

Without knowing where she was going and which door is which, she heard Naru yelling,

"MAI CLOSE THE GOD DAMN DOOR!"

"AH! NOT AGAIN!" She cried as she saw Naru's head on the black curtain with his head all wet not to mention with an infuriated expression.

Closing the door in front of her, Mai started panicking inside her head.

'I…IT WA-WA-WAS O-ONLY H-HI- HIS HEA-HE-HEAD!'

Holding both her flushed cheeks she continued,

'His hair was also wet a-and I actually saw his shoulders!' blinking twice.

She heard the doorknob twist and open from the back of her and she moved away to the side and found the bathroom misty and a Naru without a shirt on but with his towel around his waist and another on top of his head.

Mai could feel him glaring at her and dozens of sweat drops started falling from the back of her head.

Not a word, Naru took off to his room with a big loud bang left from the door.

'Oops, he's pissed yet again.' she laughed nervously and entered the bathroom. As she entered, she found her shirt by the rack all clean.

'Naru does laundry!?' she took her shirt from the rack and faced it in front of her and all the stain left from the tea was all gone and she could smell spring flowers on her shirt.

"Da-Downy?" she said to herself. Well after staring at her clean shirt, she thought maybe she could also take a morning bath since she really needs it.

(…)

She finished her morning bath and there was no sign of Naru any except his room is lock, and she was thinking maybe she could make breakfast as for a 'sorry for opening your door while you were doing some personal thing' and 'thank you for taking care of me while I was going into my psycho mode' she cleared her mind about bringing him to hell and wait another moment to piss her off.

Looking at the food out of the refrigerator, there was just a few types for a balance breakfast. She took out the carton of eggs and some other ingredients for a delicious omelet. Usually when Mai cooks for herself, she would always turn the radio besides her, but sadly, she's not in her house. It what's makes her faster when cooking. What's worst, she is very slow without music and there's no other way but to use her mouth.

"Have you ever seen such a beautiful, night?" she started singing.

"I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright"

"Then I see you smiling and I'd go, oh, oh, oh" she moved her shoulders up and down with the spatula on her hand and with the eggs sizzling. Adding a dash of pepper and salt, she continued on humming.

Finishing her omelet, she made toast and poured some random tea from the cupboard into two cups.

Naru got out of his room with his black folder(where did that come from?) and smelled something burning from the kitchen.

'What did she do this time?' he sighed in annoyance. Reaching the kitchen, he could see her dancing around the stove with an apron on and a spatula on her hand while she sings to it like some kind of microphone.

"This what dreams are made of I got-" While Mai was still singing, she turned and spotted Naru leaning by the door frame and Mai cried,

"Na-NARU!!! What bu-brings ya-you here!?"

Naru was looking at his black apron on her out fit and he answered,

"Black does not suit you if that's the case."

Mai's face started fuming in irritancy from the insult and retorted,

"Well I don't see why you have to disrespect me after all who's the one who hid my cloths in your bathroom huh? I don't know what your problem is after I made break-"

"If you're going to keep talking, while your food would go to waste." he shut her up as he went to his seat.

"Bleh, narcissistic jerk," she whispered as she sat in front of him in the table. Naru ignored her comment and started sipping his tea first and taking a fork and spoon, he could hear the clanking noise from Mai's eating utensils. Usually the poor guy eats alone or a different time. And usually he does not hear noises very loud that irritates him.

"Irritates you doesn't it?" Mai asked in a pout look with her eyes close while eating her breakfast.

He didn't answer and started eating his breakfast more politely.

"At least I don't eat like a savage beast on her craving moods." he said before taking the omelet into his mouth.

"Mn, savage! Don't you have manners!?" she retorted with her mouth full.

Naru wiped his lips on his handkerchief and said nothing leaving her looking like she's going to shove her fork in his throat.

"I do, it's just at least I don't talk with my mouth full and scream at the table, I find it highly rude.," he said without an expression in his face.

"Just why I ask you have to be such a sore-"

"I do not tolerate trash." he interrupted her with his mouth on his tea and one eye shut, he heard Mai groan in annoyance.

"Man, you're 18 years old! You only say minor words such as 'damn,', 'dammit,', and 'hell' although I don't think that counts as a bad word but who cares!"

"You were actually listening to my cursing?" he asked placing his cup down.

"Well DUH!" she answered.

Naru picked the notebook from his lap and started reading something out of it.

"You've grown a brain after all."

Closing his notebook as Mai kept giving him death glances, Naru wiped his lips again and placed his cup on top of his plate and went to the sink.

"Hey that was fast…" Mai returned to her normal self, Naru took a sponge, and started cleaning he's plate other breakfast utensils.

'My God, he does dishes too!?" she stared at him.

"It's because men like me are not afraid of water and cleaning once in a while." he heard her comment that Mai hit herself on the table.

She stopped for a moment and sighed in exhaustion that she blurted,

"I guess you're right (sigh) men like you would make a girl swoon."

"Why thank you." Naru answered her and Mai got her head up from the table and cried,

"Shoot! Did I say that out loud!?" she covered her mouth in embarrassment that Naru could see her streak of red in her face.

"Loud as you were announcing it to the whole world." he gave a sleazy grin.

Exiting the dinning area, he held on the edge the entrance and stopped and he turned to Mai, who was still holding onto her cheeks and said,

"You keep saying I'm good-looking.-"

"EH!?" Mai interrupted him.

'DAMMIT! HE'S GOING TO FIND OUT!' Mai cried to herself, as she got redder.

She looked Naru back, and he was still staring at her, Mai is starting to get nervous I mean who wouldn't if he stares at you with those deep blue eyes and cream smooth face?

Naru shut his eyes and turned around,

"Very well, let's go. I know you want to go back to your place. I'll walk you there." he went to his desk first and switched his notebook with another.

'My God, how can he tell which notebook is which?' Mai watched him.

Locking his desk, he passed by Mai saying,

"Hurry up; I'm not use to having house wives in my house. I know you want to be out of this place as soon as possible."

He suddenly threw a coat to her face and said,

"Use it; I won't be using my car. It's thick out there and I don't want to ask anybody to clean it for me."

"My God, I'm treated like some kind of maid here." Mai said to herself.

Going outside was new to Mai; she doesn't even know where she is! She was wearing a long dark blue coat that she folds up the sleeves, used the belt of her skirt, and wrapped it around her waist.

"Ne, Naru how would I get home if I don't know where I am?" she pouted as she crossed her arms.

Naru started walking, she followed with her eyes rolled in annoyance, and she followed the narcissus.

With the walking for the last thirty minutes, Mai still doesn't know where she is.

'Man, we've been walking for how long and he's not breaking a sweat!?…Wait, its winter crap.' Mai tried walking on the thick snow below her boots.

"Hey Naru can we at least stop for a moment? My legs are tired and my home is really far from here that I have to take a train." she begged her boss for mercy.

Naru ignored her and an angry charm popped out of her head that she picked up a handful of snow and threw it to him.

"HEY! I'm really tired here and just to let you know have some respect for a girl! I'm not Hercules you know!"

Naru stopped and crossed his arms in front of her.

"I might as well leave you here not escorting you home if that's fine for you."

"Can you at least drop me home in the first place!? I mean what's the use of bring me to your house like some newly wed!?" she blurted.

'OH WHAT THE HELL!?' Mai cried once again to herself and she started stuttering,

"TH-THA-THAT'S NA-NOT WH-WHAT I MA-MEANT TO SAY!" She covered her mouth and felt embarrass for opening her mouth.

"First of all, my house was just around the corner. Second of all you're always talking nonsense even I don't understand your animal instinct-"

"Shut up dammit!" she threw another snowball but it missed.

"Animal instinct my ass! When are you gonna get the respect I deserve!?" she yelled.

"My, my, it isn't great to be young! You two should now how to turn each other on!" an elder and his wife interrupted them and Mai dropped her ball and started making hand gestures.

"So sorry! He's my boss, a super narcissus! He just drags me to his house-"

"MAI!" Naru shut her up.

The elder woman looked at Mai from head to toe and said,

"You're still young and you're sleeping with you boss?"

"NO!" Both of them yelled.

"There's no way I sleep with someone like him!" Mai yelled as well as Naru who didn't yell but gave an, don't-piss-me-off-because I'm-with-my-assistant-arguing-nonsense-look and said,

"I can't sleep with anyone so rough at night." with that Mai shot him one oh her death glances and both the elder couple shrugged and looked at each other.

"I guess that's how lovers are now hey Hon'?" the man said and his wife nodded.

"Opposite attract seems very popular these days." she answered him.

The two of them left Naru and Mai with her glaring at him and all he did was ignore her and still walked.

Oh, my God, after walking and arguing on the way from glaring to ignoring, they finally made it to her street and it was already 3:00 P.M.

Shoving the key to the hole, she finally entered her home and everything was still clean and tidy the way she knew it was suppose to be and she said in full relief,

"Thank goodness I'm home!"

'But, Naru is still here.' a voice in her head came out of nowhere.

'Mai this is your chance! Damn Masako isn't here and you have more than a week till she comes back!' another popped out of nowhere.

"MAI!" Naru called her.

"Huh? What?" is all she could say and blinked twice then turned to him.

"I've called you countless time, while you were spacing out. You're suppose to go inside or else the snow from outside will come inside." he explained with no sense of emotion so he gently pushed Mai inside and close the door behind them.

Mai felt his hands off him and she felt something on her back that was freaking the heck out of her as it slid to her spine gently.

"Ha-hey…what are-?"

"Mai…what kind of tea did you took out…of the cupboard?"

"Uh, I don't know. I think it was the green one with foreign words.," she answered while her whole body froze and found his head leaning against her back.

"Stupid…I've put that thing in the way back of that stupid…cabinet, and…I only use…Lipton…when…"

"EH!? NARU NOT NOW! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!" she cried in embarrassment and shook Naru as hard as she can.

"Man…you're kinda heavy…" she gasped in so many airs to her lungs and decided to make him sleep in the couch.

'DAMN, now this time its him not me…' her face was still fuming in embarrassment and her heart was racing an imaginary horse.

...PREVIEW...

"I am so not going to take advantage of him! WAIT!? He's taking advantage of me so how am I going to get him out of me!?" Mai whisper to herself.


A/N:: BLEH :P Hahaha, Naru was knocked out just by drinking tea!? So why isn't Mai effected? You just have to wait for the next chapter!
