I'm back again! :D Not many reviews for my last chapter. :( But I guess that's what I get for not updating fast enough. But please review to this chapter! :D Thanks to my reviewers: seshomaru94, xSapphirexRosesxFanx, and DemonHairedandBlueEyed. I'm sorry to hear about your surgery seshomaru94 and I hope you feel a lot better soon! :D


I opened my eyes to darkness in the room. The memory of yesterday rushed into my head. I remember finding Emily, scared, in her room, me getting attacked, waking up here and then finding out that I lost my voice and then me crying my eyes out until I fell asleep.

I slowly got up from the bed and put on a silky robe, I found on a chair next to me, over me. I heard a soft knock on the door. I looked up to see Emily peeking through the doorframe. I smiled at her. She quickly ran inside and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry Mai! You can't talk because of me!" She cried.

'I don't blame you.' I whispered in my head. Emily suddenly pulled away from me. I gave her a confused look.

"You…you…you spoke!" Now I was really confused, but before I could do anything she ran out of the room. I followed right after her. She was in the living room with Ayako, Monk, Lin and Naru.

"Mai spoke! She can speak now!" everyone looked up at me in shock.

"Mai, did you really speak?" Ayako asked. As much as I wanted to say yes I just shook my head.

"But I heard you Mai!" Emily said as she ran up to me with tears in her eyes. "You said that you didn't blame me!" This time it was me who was really shocked.

"What's wrong?" Monk asked. I quickly glanced around and picked up a piece of paper and a pen.

*I didn't say that. I thought that in my head.*

"What does this mean?" Ayako asked.

"Do you think Emily can read Mai's mind?" Monk asked.

*I don't know* I shrugged.

"Well at least with you writing things down it's better to understand you." Monk said as he stood up. "Come on Ayako, I need to go to the store real quick."

*?*

"Don't ya worry Mai, I got ya covered." He said as he ruffled my hair and stopped when I glared at him.

"Would you mind giving me a ride? Madoka has asked me to buy a few things as well." Lin asked as he stood up. I had forgotten that he was there since he didn't say anything and he wasn't typing anything.

"Yeah sure, we'll be back soon." Monk said as he put on his jacket.

"Make sure you get something to eat and get a good night sleep." Ayako said as she gave me a gentle hug and kissed my forehead.

I waved goodbye as they stepped out of the door. It wasn't until then did I realize that they left me with Emily and Naru. Talk about awkwardness. I let out a soundless sigh.

*Tea?* I wrote to Naru. He looked a little surprised that I even acknowledged him. I bit my lip to suppress my smile. He finally nodded his head. I turned to Emily. *Juice?*

"Oh yes please!" she said as she jumped up and down. I held her hand as we walked to the kitchen.

The hotel room looked like it was its own little house. I placed the kettle on the stove and grabbed a juice carton from the fridge and served Emily her juice.

'A normal hotel would have been fine.' I thought.

"See! Did you hear her this time?" and before I could write down my question I felt a pair of cold hands cup my face and I was staring into the icy blue eyes again. I tried to wiggle free from Naru's grasps but he held me still.

"Say something again." He said and I gave him my "are you kidding" face. He ignored it. "Say something." I grabbed his hands and took them off my face.

'Fine, then tell me what I'm saying now.' I paused and glanced at Emily and I decided to switch to Japanese. 'I hate you Naru.' Naru looked away before saying. "You hate me." I suddenly felt bad about saying that to him but it was sort of true.

I noticed Emily nodding off a bit. I glanced over at the clock and it read 10 o'clock. 'Come on Emily, it's time for bed.' I said as I walked around Naru and picked up Emily from the chair.

"But I'm not that," she yawned, "sleepy."

'Ha! You can't fool me.' I held her close as I walked over to the bedroom. I reached for the doorknob but Naru beat me to it. 'Thanks.' Of course I didn't get a "you're welcome".

I gently placed Emily down on the bed and she was fast asleep as I placed the covers up to her chin. I brushed away a few stranded hairs away from her face. I got up and walked past Naru who was leaning against the doorframe. He shut off the lights and gently closed the door.

As soon as we got back to the kitchen the water was ready to make tea. I grabbed two cups and poured in the water and the tea bags. 'Ms. Hasting doesn't mind that Emily is here?' I asked as I placed his tea in front of him.

"She said that she trust that we will keep her safe from the house." He said as I sat down in front of him. I slowly took a sip of my tea. It felt good going down my throat.

'I have a question for you.' He looked up and raised an eyebrow, which I took as a sign for mw to continue. 'Why are you here?'

"Naturally this cased had interested me and I decided to take it."

'That's not what I meant. I mean, why are you still in this hotel room? I'm sure you would want to go back to the house and finish the case so you can go back to your home in England.'

Naru didn't respond. He just sat there taking sip of his tea. It was really starting to irritate me. 'Boy what would I give to read your mind right now… Ah crap!' I thought as I saw him raise his eyebrow and again and smirk.

"I do believe that would be a bad idea. Your small brain wouldn't be able to handle all of the information I have in my head."

'Why you little narcissistic jerk!' I stuck my tongue out at him. 'Where is Monk and Ayako anyways, they should have been here already.'

"Probably lost and arguing about it."

'True.' He took the last sip of his tea and before her could say anything I got up and served him more tea. My stomach growled as I handed him the tea. I blushed in embarrassment as I knew that he heard it. I walked over to the fridge to see what Ayako had left me, and boy was I happy.

'Yay, chicken pasta!' I thought happily as I placed it in the microwave to warm up. While I waited I washed the cup I used for Emily's juice and I served myself more tea. The whole time I could feel Naru's eyes on me.

When the food was ready I grabbed a fork and took the food to the living room and turned on the TV. I was flipping through the channels when Naru decided to join me. There was an American movie on called Resident Evil. I had heard from my friends that it was a very popular zombie horror flick and that I should give it a try. Thankfully it had just started so I didn't have to be lost. We sat in silence as we watched the movie and I ate.


As soon as the movie was over I was scared out of my mind and I was holding a pillow close to my chest like it was going to protect me from zombies. I was feeling sleepy but I was scared to sleep alone. Naru turned off the TV. and stood up.

'Wait!' I thought out loud as I grabbed his arm. 'Where are you going?'

"Back to the house."

'Why? Can't you stay a little longer?'

"Don't tell me you're afraid because of the movie."

'No!' he raised his eyebrow again. 'Okay, maybe a little. Can you at least wait until I fall asleep? Pleasseee!' I pleaded. He looked at me for a while before he finally let out a sigh.

"Fine."

'Yay!' I said as we walked back to the room. I held on to his arm for dear life. I quickly jumped into the bed and pulled the covers over my face. Emily was still a sound asleep.

"Be more careful or you'll wake her up." Naru hissed quietly.

'Sorry.' Emily snuggled closer to me. For a few minutes, no one spoke. I felt my eyes droop a little.

"She's not really my fiancée."

'Hmm?'

"My parents arranged the engagement. They thought that I need to get married soon."

'I kind of figured that. I mean, who could "the great Oliver Davis" actually marry besides his work. If it was possible you probably would.' I laughed sleepily. He didn't respond again and this time I could feel the darkness of sleep was finally taking over.

'You know…I actually don't really hate you. Even though everything that we have been through together and even after you refused my confession, I can't really say I hate you. I should be but I just can't bring myself to.' I said as I yawned.

"Mai…you are the only one I…" I couldn't hear anymore for I finally fell asleep.


Haha talk about bad timing on falling asleep! Think she'll remember in the morning? Next chapter will be the last part of Naru's P.O.V! :D
