I am so sorry for not updating for like what...some months or so? Again SORRY! well here is chapter 10! I'm a bit rusty, haven't written anything for a while, I'm working on my art:)
ENJOY!
Yasu'sPOV:
I walk out of the guy's room and heard soft snoring. I look over to see...
"Whoa," I whisper as I retreat backwards into the room.
Bou-san'sPOV
"Bou-san! Bou-san," I hear an annoying Yasu voice whispering in my ear. I roll over hoping he will give up whatever he was trying to do.
"Go away Yasu," I grumble into my pillow as I curl up under my blankets. I hear a sigh and felt the blankets get yanked off me and the cold morning air rush onto my warm, toasty skin.
I bolt up sitting and glare at the dark silhouette of the young college prodigy who was currently holding a big jumbled mess that was my blankets.
"What the hell, man? Why the he-" Yasu quickly tackled me and covered my mouth and my nose. I tried to breathe but failed.
"Shhhhhhh! You'll wake them up! I woke up 20 minutes ago and walked out into the hallway to see Mai sleeping in Naru's lap!" Yasu's excited voiced ringed through the room as I was suffocating.
As he continued to talk I tried to take his hand off my face but his excitement made him hold tighter, and I'm not exactly at my strongest when I wake up.
"Oh, just think of all the black mailing and teasing we could do if we get a few pictures..." Yasu said as I ripped his hand of my mouth finally. I took in a huge gasp of air as Yasu stared at me curiously.
"Jeez man, I almost died! One more mintue and we would've had another ghost in this house," I said as he chuckled and apologized.
"So, you said you saw Mai sleeping in Naru's lap huh," I asked as I got out my cell phone, still slightly breathless. Yasu smiled devilishly and nodded. I smiled and stood up.
I walked to the door and peeked out, with Yasu behind me.
Yasu was right, there sat Naru sleeping against the wall, with an unconscious Mai in his lap with her head tucked under his chin. One of Naru's hand rested just above Mai's knee and the other was placed on her bare neck just under her ear.
Quiet clicks sounded through out the hallway as I snapped some pictures of them before I slipped back into the room, smirking with Yasu.
"You know Bou-san, seeing them all cuddly makes me want to cuddle too," Yasu said in a mimicking girl voice as he wrapped his arms around my my waist.
I jumped from him and said, "would you stop that? It's creepy!"
Yasu just laughed and followed me to the base.
Naru'sPOV
I woke up to something tickling my nose, I brushed the hair away from my nose and put my hand back to Mai's neck. I remembered everything that happened last night.
Mai's mother huh...?
"Mmm," Mai moaned as she cuddled closer into my chest. I move so I can look at her face, peaceful.
"Naru," I hear my name escape her lips. I freeze. Is she awake? No, her breathing is still slow and heavy. She said my name then,...in her sleep.
I move some hair out of her face as I smile at the thought of her dreaming about me. I tilt her chin up towards me to get a better look at her some-what angelic-like face. My eyes travel from the eyelids that hid those hypnotizing eyes from me, to her pink lips.
I lean closer until my lips just barely grazed hers. I stayed there, deciding if I should pull away or not. This will probably be my only chance.
I move closer until my lips were completely pressed against her's. I relish in the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction of finally doing what I have been wishing of for some time now.
I suddenly freeze when I feel her lips ever so slightly press against mine. My eyes snap open to see her glazed over ones staring tiredly at me. I pull back horrified at her catching me red-handed.
"Naru? Whats going on?" She looks around and rubs her eyes tiredly as she sits up on my lap.
"What time is it," she asks while I sigh in relief. Good she must have been too tired to notice. God, that was close!
"Its 7:56 am," I say as I look at the clock hanging on the opposite wall. She stands up wobbly and collapses onto my lap again, more specifically on my manhood. I cringe and quickly stand up and help her up too.
"Ok Mai, now that you have showed me what is up your skirt, go make me some tea," I say as I walk towards the base while trying to look like I'm not in pain. (A/N: PoorNaru -_-)
She huffs and walks down the stairs...
Mai'sPOV
I walk down the stairs still a little drowsy. I walk to the kitchen and start making Naru his oh so precious tea. I remember back to when I woke up.
What exactly was that on my lips? it was a lot heavier then a piece of hair, and nothing was on my face when I woke up...well Naru was pretty close...no! It-...he-...no! Naru wouldn't k-kiss me! He...wouldn't...right? Right?
As I walked pass the children's room I heard a creek. I froze, not daring to make a noise not even so much as a twitch. Another creek sounded only not in the direction of the children's room...but above me.
The attic? "Oh yeah, how you get to the attic is this little door in the ceiling here but no one can get it open!" Hmmm, I wonder...
I set the tray of tea down and stretch onto my tippy toes and reached for the edge of the little ceiling door.
"Ah," I found it! I rip off the wallpaper to find a metal handle. I grab it and pull with all my might. Nothing. Didn't budge one bit.
I lift my feet off of the ground and dangle there swinging back and forth.
"Stupid door. You will open for me, or I'll get Bou-san," I said as I set my feet down and take a step towards the base when I heard a creek.
I turn around to see the little door cracked open just a bit. I grab the handle and pull down with easy to have the rickety wooden ladder unfold, ready to help me get in the attic.
"Huh," I murmur as I step onto the squeaky ladder. With every step it ladder sounds like its screaming. I stop when I'm just barely able to see into the dark room.
With the orange morning light streaming into the smudged glass in the small window, which happened to be the only window. I continued up the ladder until I am fully in the room.
The room's height was about 6 feet, which for me being 5'2, it wasn't so bad. The wood flooring had dust coating it, the torn wallpaper was tan with green birds. Boxes beyond boxes laid on the walls of the small room.
As I walked further into the room a silhouette of a rocking chair laid near the window. I walk closer to smell a familiar scent of a smoking pipe and lilies. Across from the rocking chair stood a smaller one with a stitched together doll and a lily.
"Hana," I whisper as I gently pick up the doll's limp body. I look into the doll's black button eyes, I seem to loose track of time.
"Mai," a hoarse man's voice whispered through the air. I look around and see that I'm alone. My attention was brought to the rocking chair as it started to rock.
I look back to Hana and gracefully stroke strands of hair that was made out of yarn from her 2 dimensional face.
"Mai, darlin'," I look around again only to recognize the voice.
"Kiyo-oji," The words slip through my lips as easy and smooth as if I said them everyday. I close my eyes. Kiyo-oji. Kiyo-oji... Kiyo-oji?
FLASHBACK!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BAM!
Mai'smom'sPOV
"...Yeah, I can hear you, why wouldn't I?... Yes, I love my doll! Hmm, but what should I name her?...No! Thats a boy name Kiyo-oji! Hmmm...nooo thats oooold Kiyo-oji! You're old toooo! Hehehe...hmmm...Hana! Perfect! Pretty Hana-chan!" High-pitched giggles were heard through out the attic. I slowly creep up the stairs, every step on the old wooden steps creaks.
I could hear Mai's voice, and Mai's voice only. She was responding to someone else...someone who isn't there...imaginary friend perhaps? No, Mai is too...realistic for that.
I push open the already open door. I peek around the boxes to see Mai sitting in a small rocking chair playing with a doll. Across from her was a similar, bigger rocking chair. The empty chair was rocking as if someone was sitting in it.
A gray haze filled the area around Mai, as if someone were smoking a pipe.
I quickly rush over to Mai and kneel down in front of her.
"Mai, sweety. Who were you talking to," I ask some what fearing the answer. Mai tilted her head and asked, "Kiyo-oji, silly Mama"
My stomach felt like lead, "who's Kiyo-oji, hunny, hmm?" Mai's eyes left my face and instead looked behind me at the rocking chair opposite of her.
"Him," I could feel my eyes widen as I slowly turn around to see the rocking chair suddenly stop dead in it's tracks.
"Hmm, and did Kiyo-oji give you that doll too?" I ask pointing to the dirty ragdoll in her arms.
"Yeah, her name is Hana," Mai says as she affectionately pets the doll's yarn hair. I look at it's black abyssal eyes, something about the creepy doll that seemed almost...alive.
"Isn't she pretty Mommy," Mai's sweet, innocent voice cuts through my thoughts and I smile up at her as I say, "Mmmhmmm, yes, very pretty. Now lets go downstairs for lunch. I don't want you up here alone ever again ok?"
She nods, making all the cute little curls on her head bob crazily. I say good, and kiss her on the forehead.
"Hello? I'm home! Where are my two most beautiful girls in the world?" We hear Makoto walk in the front door.(A/N: Mai's dad's name is Makoto, Mai's mom's name is Reika)
"Daddy's home! Lets go greet him with a big ol' hug and kiss huh?" I say as Mai runs ahead of me down the attic stairs.
"And it's me," I hear a woman's voice from down stairs. Ugh, Chiyo-chan. I really do wish she'd just leave us alone.
I think as I walk down the stairs. I pause at the door and look back to the rocking chair. The chair had begun to rock again...
END 'O' FLASHBACK!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BAM!
Ah, I remember now! Kiyo-oji!
"Kiyo-oji..." I sniffle as I clutch the doll tight to my chest.
"Mai? Mai, you up there?" I hear Ayako's voice from the door. I turn and yell, "Yeah I'm up here!"
I hear a creak as the rocking chair stopped rocking. I look back to see a cloud of smoke as the only evidence of Kiyo-oji.
So? How was that? I'm so happy that I finally finished this chapter! :D well review lots! Hope you guys hang with me until the end! Adieu!
