A/N: Don't own! Okay, I wanted to address a question here that I have been asked several times: "Why doesn't Mai just leave?"

I realize that I haven't really explained that as well (or at all) as I should have. In my head it was clear that she can't leave. Just as it hurts her to put on clothes it hurts her greatly if she steps off the grounds of the inn. I assume they have already tried this with the girls before and discovered it to be so. I make reference to this fact (that she can't leave) soon in the next chapter or so. I apologize for this error! This was my Nano story and usually the first time I read a part (after I wrote it) has been right before posting it here! If I had probably taken the time to read this while I was writing it I am sure I would have picked it up and edited it. I may edit it later when I have time, but this has been a speed story all the way and one in which I haven't spent as much time on as my others!

So once again I apologize, but I hope you can bear with me till the end even though it is a pretty strange story! Thank you for reading! Please review!

Warning: Contains rape...read at your own risk (this is the last time though, just to let you know)


The bathroom door burst open and Mai tumbled out onto the floor. She was crying but barely any noise was escaping her mouth. "No…" she mumbled before she was thrown into a nearby wall. She bit her lip hard causing blood to dribble down her chin as she felt the same sickening sensation forcefully enter her. There was no groping or caressing this time around. Mai noted that it felt like a hand was holding her own hands over her head and pinning them to the wall. The other 'hand' was pushing on the small of her back.

"Mai!" Some one screamed from behind her. There were more voices too but Mai could not really pick up on much at the moment other than vaguely taking in the fact that some one, probably Ayako, had called her.

Mai cringed as she felt the pace increase. Each thrust was already hard and forceful, much more violent than earlier…and the quickened motion did not help any. The 'hand' that was on her back slid up her spine and grabbed her hair tightly forcing her head back painfully far. Mai gasped and continued to jerk with the motion the invisible force was setting. She knew it would be over soon…she could feel her own body building with anticipation and the thrusts continued to gain speed.

Moments later Mai felt her self climax. She arched her back and pushed her self forward while dipping her head back further than it had been pulled. Her whole body tensed and stiffened at the euphoric feeling that was running through her body though inside she knew better…seconds later the feeling was gone and Mai was left empty and gasping for air. She slumped to the floor in a sickening thud and continued to pant a moment longer before trying to gain her barring. Once again Mai felt nothing inside, no warm outburst from a climaxing partner or even any feeling of warmth over her skin. Only her cold sweat remained glistening over her hot and flushed skin.

"That was horrible" Mai breathed out breathlessly and she surveyed her wrists. They were already starting to bruise. Her whole body ached…especially her back and legs from being forced to stand at such an odd angle. "Ah, I am sore…" Mai mused quietly.

Naru was in a cold rage. He had to watch once again as Mai was taken against her will and hurt. Yet there she was…not whining, crying, complaining or anything. She just sat there taking it all without so much as a single outburst or yell of anger…or sadness. Naru knew that Mai was far from okay…after all he had overheard her talking to Masako about the situation. He knew right then and there that she was suppressing what she was feeling…and it angered him to no ends. Under no circumstances should she be having to go through this…especially trying to hold it all in…

"Mai…" he started but she cut him off before he could finish.

"Ah, I am fine!" She laughed softly before shifting herself on the floor before she slowly rose to her feet. "It's not that bad really…"

That was it. Naru couldn't take it anymore; not the way she was acting as if it was nothing…like it didn't bother her at all.

"Mai, it's okay to cry you know…" Naru spoke carefully. The others nodded their heads in agreement. They all were concerned about how the girl was handling what was being done to her.

"What do you mean?" Mai questioned with a slight tilt of her head, "it's not that big of a deal…"

"Of course it's a big deal, you idiot!" Naru snapped back, "You lost your virginity and are being raped by something you can't even see!"

"I agree, Mai…you can't keep acting like its nothing." Ayako tried to sound comforting.

Mai's eyes widened slightly. 'No…I won't let it break…I can't let it break…' Mai thought frantically over and over in her mind. "Really guys it's not that bad. It's not like I can get pregnant or anything!" She laughed a forced laugh but no one even came close to giving her a look of approval.

"It hurt you…" Naru reminded the girl while still trying to figure out how she could remain positive after the things that had happened.

"I am not made of glass, Naru." She huffed in reply. "I can handle something like this…I won't brake."

"You could die!" He yelled more forcefully that he had intended but he had enough of her positive outlook on the whole situation. Did she not realize the position she was in? After being taken over and over suicide was next…did she forget that small fact?

"Enough!" she shouted back. If he said anything more she would break. The wall that she had built up would collapse and all her emotions and fears would come pouring through. Her resolve to act mature and calm would be shattered…and then, once again, she would become a burden on everyone and make them worry. She didn't want anyone to worry for her…she was fine on her own…she didn't need any help. 'That's right…' Mai told herself over and over again that she was fine.

She was far from fine.

"Mai…" Bou-san tried to address the girl but her laughing once again stopped him short of saying anything.

"Ha, really guys. Don't worry. At least this will be a funny story to tell my friends on how I lost my virginity!" Mai avoided looking at anyone in the eye. If they looked at her in the eyes they would know…know how she was truly feeling.

"Enough!" Naru slammed his balled fist on the wall just above her. He had swiftly closed the distance between them and now was standing directly over her where she sat on the floor. Mai looked up, wide eyed, at her fuming boss. His eyes glared down at her angrily. Mai shuttered. She had never seen such anger in his eyes before or such an expression on his face…it scared her.

"N-naru?" She ventured softly. His jaw tensed and she could see him trying to figure out the words he wanted to say.

"Cry…be angry, get mad. You should be showing so many emotions other than the ones you are. It is like you are just content to sit there and take it…"

"And what if I am…?" She met his glare though it was reluctantly so.

"I know you're not. Stop covering what you are really feeling. For an idiot like you it will only hurt you more."

"Why do you even care!?" Mai stood with her back pressed against the wall and her head just below Naru's still balled fist. She stared at him face to face and gave her best glare she could muster. "It doesn't matter what emotions I show, or what I do! It's going to take me anyway!"

Naru scowled and Mai flinched. He lowered his head so that his mouth was directly above her ear. Mai could feel his warm breath on her skin and shivered at how close his lips were to her. "I care because I wanted to take you for myself…" Naru smirked into Mai's ear as he spoke so softly it was as if he was merely breathing. The girl blushed furiously at his words. Naru pressed his body against hers in a single swift motion and Mai swore there was no way to make her blush anymore than she already was. "But…" he whispered softly as he pulled away from her ear and appeared dangerously close to her lips, "that is probably too much for an idiot like you to comprehend…"

With that said Naru pushed away from the wall and walked away to the monitors; still seething with anger just below the surface. Mai slid gently down the wall and plopped on the floor softly. Her cheeks were flushed a deep red and her hand was unconsciously touching her ear. Masako was glaring daggers while everyone else shared bemused smirks with one another. They all dearly wanted to know what their young boss had just said to the girl to get her to react as such.

"Everyone to the lobby" Naru demanded as he made it to the other side of the room. "It is about time to get this figured out." His exterior was calm but everyone present knew better than to think that we was not extremely angry.

Without any comment Bou-san, Lin, and John walked from the room. With a single fleeting glance Naru told Ayako and Masako to stay behind. It was getting late and once the suggestion was planted they were probably going to call it a night.

-----

"Mai, what did Naru say to you!?" The older miko practically jumped on her. "You have to tell me what he said!" She practically dragged Mai over to the futon and flopped down on it with Mai in tow.

"Ayoko…" Mai tried to scoot away from the prying miko, "he didn't say anything…"

Masako glared jealously. Mai wasn't fooling anyone. She knew that she was lying through her teeth. There was no way Mai was telling the truth. "You are not fooling anyone, Mai. Now, what did he say to you?" Masako said haughtily.

Mai stared up at her rival and friend. They were not going to let her go without telling them a somewhat believable lie. "He called me an idiot…"

"There is no way that alone would make you as red as an apple!" Ayako protested while grabbing her shoulders.

"Really that is all he said!" Mai tried to bluff.

"It is not Mai! Now, tell us what he said!" Masako was suddenly on the floor in front of her staring her down with beautiful doll like eyes.

"I…I…he said…" Mai blushed deeply and turned away. The action only made the other women even more eager to find out the secret. Mai realized by the expressions on their faces that she was not going to get off until she told them the truth; the whole truth. "He said…"

"He said?" They both repeated while inching closer.

"He said that he…he wanted to take me…not watch me be taken by someone else…" she trailed off so that she finished speaking in barely a whisper. The other women stared…shocked.

"AHHH!" Ayako screamed when she seemed to lift from her daze. "That is so great Mai! He wants you as his girl! He doesn't want to see you having sex with anyone else but him!" She said as she flung her arms around the girl and embraced her tightly. Masako was still too stunned to even move. The look on her face said she was still trying to process what her crush had said to her rival.

"Ayako!" Mai wheezed. "Not so tightly!"

"But" Ayako squeezed tighter "I am so happy for you! This means he wants you! He wants you to be his girlfriend!"

"I think you are over reacting Ayako…" Mai tried to pry the over excited woman from her waist. "He is a healthy teenage boy after all…I mean that is all they think about you know. It doesn't mean anything."

"That's right!" Masako suddenly stated after blinking a few times. "It doesn't mean anything!" Masako professed to herself. By this time Ayako and Mai blankly stared at her. Neither of them expected her to pick up on the last part of the naked girl's comment.

"Well…I mean…I would be…happy…" Mai blushed and turned away again.

"Ahh! I knew it! I knew you wanted him!" Ayako beamed.

"I didn't say that!" Mai huffed.

"You were thinking it!" Ayako yelled.

"Well he is gorgeous! Who wouldn't want to have sex with him?!" Mai blushed brightly. The expressions plastered on Ayako's and Masako's faces told everything. It was exactly as she had said; who wouldn't want to have sex with Naru? He was incredibly handsome and very good looking in every meaning of the term. 'I wonder what he looks like naked…' Mai thought to herself aimlessly. As soon as the thought of a named Naru crossed her mind she felt her whole body get hot. She was sure the blush that was on her face deepened. 'I wonder what he thinks of me…'

"Mai!" Ayako yelled, "what were you just thinking!?"

"Nothing!" Mai slithered backwards.

"You were thinking about Naru!"

"Was not!"

"Were too!" Ayako protested.

"Girls, girls, girls…" Bou-sans voice filtered through the room. Ayako, Mai, and Masako turned to face the man as he entered the room followed by John, Lin, and finally Naru. "What were you yelling about?"

"Nothing!" All three girls yelled back in unison causing the males now in the room to stare. The guys decided then and there that girl's were something that they would never understand.

After some short discussions on who would be where, everyone split up. Ayako and Masako went on a final round of the inn before turning in for bed in their room. Bou-san and John went to meet with Madoka and Yasuhara to collaborate some information leaving Lin and Naru in the room with Mai.

"Mai…" Naru's voice was cool and Mai shot her head up instantly when he spoke.

"Yes?" She responded as she flushed.

"You can try and get some sleep now. You have had a long day. Lin and I are just going to finish up a few more things before going to bed."

Mai nodded and settled herself down on the futon. She was tired but she didn't want to sleep. She was afraid of what she might see if she closed her eyes…afraid that she might dream. She curled up hugging herself close. It didn't take long of her listening to the melodic typing of Lin's laptop and the soft shuffling noise of files that Naru was flipping through for her eyes to drift close. It was not long after until Mai's breathing evened out and she was asleep.

Naru turned to her and grinned. He sat his file down and looked to Lin. "I will sleep here tonight."

Lin smiled. He already knew that Naru would not be coming back to the room that he shared with John and the monk. "Understood. If you don't mind I think I will turn in myself."

"Good night, Lin." Naru stated as the other man stood and took his leave from the room.

"Good night, Naru." Lin left the room and walked down the hall to his room. He smiled to himself. Naru was finally going to get some alone time with Mai. He knew that Naru was trying hard to deal with the situation in a calm and controlled manner. Today he had finally snapped. Lin had wondered how long it would take for his emotions to finally boil over. He only hoped that they would be able to figure out the case before any more damage was done.

Naru watched the sliding door and moment longer after Lin had left. He wanted to make sure the Chinese man was indeed gone before he settled himself in for the night. He looked back to the peacefully sleeping Mai and allowed a small smile to grace his lips. He was not anywhere near happy with what the girl was having to go through, but he was rather pleased that he could look at her like he was looking at her now.

He didn't like the fact that other people were seeing his Mai naked. He wanted to be the only one to see her. But under the circumstances it couldn't be helped that other people were seeing her untouched skin. With one final look around the darkened room Naru moved and settled himself on the futon next to Mai. When he saw that she didn't stir he inched himself closer until he was cradling her in his arms. She unconsciously moved into his body for the warmth and sighed contentedly. Naru smiled and rested his head upon the pillow before closing his eyes contentedly as well. Mai would be hurt if she covered herself but this way she could get warm from his body heat and unfortunately that was all Naru could think of to do for the girl for the moment. He was determined to figure out what was going on if it was the last thing he did.


A/N: Oh man, naked Naru...can you imagine? O.o ...I think I would faint...or something akin to it! Anyway, hope you liked this chapter. I was happy I was finally able to toss in some much need fluff and some somewhat warmer moments! Let me know how you liked it! Thanks!
