Sick

Mai's eyes flittered opened. Putting her hands to her head she sat up. She had a killer headache. Mai looked around and realized she was in Gene's room. She tried to remember why she was here.

"Do you remember?" said a voice. Mai looked to her left to see a little girl there. Then she remembered what had happened. She had a dream about Naru and his past.

"Yea but why did you show me?" asked Mai. The girl smiled and started to swing her legs.

"Do you remember what happened in the dream you had the other day?" she asked ignoring the question.

"Yes but-" Mai was cut off when the girl asked "What happened?"

Mai was shocked that the girl would ask that but answered anyway. "It was about the first two days Naru and Gene stayed here. Though even though I haven't had a chance to see the outside in person, in the dream it was beautiful." Mai said. The girl waited but Mai didn't know what else to say.

"And today's?" the girl asked spinning around in a circle.

"It was there first few days of school right?"

"Kind of. The last one happened four weeks after the first one." The girl continued to spin around, as her short blue dress twirled around her. Mai remember perfectly that before she had gone to sleep that the girl was wearing a white night gown and before that she had on jeans and a low but shirt. "So what have you gathered?" she asked as she stopped spinning.

"What?" asked Mai.

"Come on let me show you around and we can talk. Though lets hope we don't get lost." She said jokingly as she walked towards the door. Mai stood and followed her not sure what she was talking about. Mai and the little girl walked down the in silence. Mai was waiting for her to speak since she was the one that wanted to talk to her.

"So have you figured it out?' asked the girl as she spun around and stopped in front of Mai, blocking her path. Mai stared down at the girl confused.

"Have I figured out what?"

"Have you figured out why I'm showing you the dreams?" the girl asked as she tilted her head to the right. To Mai she looked so cute that way.

"Well-um-no." Mai said hanging her head. The girl looked upset. She turned and continued walking.

"Figures No one ever gets it. Why aren't there any smart people in this world." She mumbled to herself as she walked. Mai ran after her. She caught up but didn't say anything. The girl kept mumbling to herself, but Mai couldn't understand a word she was saying. They walked down the stairs and out into the grounds. The sun hit Mai and blinded her, making her stop. She covered her eyes until they could focus in this light. Once they did Mai looked around and fond the little girl gone. Mai got a quick glance of something going behind the building. She ran over to it to in the girl still walking and talking to herself.

What stunned Mai more was the beautiful scene in front of her. A huge garden and pond rested quietly in the sunlight. The garden was filled with exotic flowers and trees, the pond seemed normal except it seemed to reflect more light and shine it at the garden. It looked exactly they way it did in her dream but it was more beautiful in person. The gentle wind blew the plants making it looked like they were dancing. Mai put her hand up to her hair to stop it from blowing her hair in her face. She didn't want this sight to end.

"Mai" said a voice that pulled her back to reality. She turned to her left to see the most beautiful sight, just looking at it made her heart stop. "Naru?"

Naru sat in base waiting for an answer. Konta said that she would explain everything as soon as she went to get some iced water but Ayako wouldn't let her go. So now Naru, Lin, John, Bou-san, Yasuhara, Masako and Konta were waiting for Ayako to get back so Konta could explain everything. The door opened and Ayako walked in. She handed Konta her water before sitting down next to Bou-san. Konta pretty much chugged it down.

"Okay now start explaining." Naru said coldly. Konta looked at him. She put her glass down on the table and leaned back in the chair. "I was in bed when I got a strange feeling. It wasn't like the others." Konta said she looked down at the floor. "It was different…somehow." She continued to stare at the floor, not saying a word. Naru noticed her eyes starting to get watery.

"Konta." He said snapping her out of it. She looked at him. "Oh right, sorry." She took a deep breath before continuing. "The feeling got stronger until I was surrounded by blackness. The next thing I knew I was standing on a cliff and people were calling my name. I ignored them all until I heard someone call my name, someone that was important to me. I turned around and I saw a bunch of people down at the bottom of the hill, where I saw all of you. Naru, you were saying something but I couldn't hear you. I couldn't understand you. All I knew was that I couldn't control my body and when I turned to look back out at the ocean I felt scared. The ocean-it just looked so scary. Before I know it im falling off the cliff." Konta said as tears filled her eyes. John put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Then what? You just decided to run out of the house and come here?" asked Naru not even affected by her story.

"Actually yes." Naru glared at her. He didn't approve of her recklessness. She kind of reminded him of Mai.

"Then where's tom?" asked Bou-san. Konta looked away awkwardly. "He is here right?" Konta had now just become very interested in her cup.

"Konta where is tom?" asked Lin. Konta looked up at him. She couldn't refuse to answer Lin. I mean it was Lin.

"I don't know. I didn't have a good feeling about it and well-" she stopped trying to find the right words. They waited. "He wasn't around when I woke and I didn't have time to find him so I ran all the way here. He's probably home looking for me right now."

"You ran all the way from the house? Are you crazy?" yelled Ayako standing up. Konta flinched back, now scared.

"Well-a-yes." Konta said eyeing Ayako. She really didn't want to get yelled at.

"Are you serious? It's a ten minute car drive! You could have gotten hurt or something." Said Bou-san worriedly. Konta just looked at him.

"Well imagine what could have happened if I hadn't come. That girl could have died!' Konta said standing up. She looked from John to Bou-san, to Ayako. Naru sighed which made everyone look at him.

"Lin call tom." Naru said standing up. He looked at Konta. "You're going home."

"What! Why?" screamed Konta as she turned to Naru.

"Because you shouldn't be here in the first place." said Naru calmly. "You've already overworked body."

"You can't say that I overworked my body when you -" Konta fell to the floor. Ayako rushed over and started to check her over. Apparently she wasn't sissified with the result.

"She has a fever, a high one." Ayako said. Naru cursed at himself. Of course Konta would push herself past the breaking point and still want to continue. Why can't she be more concerned about her well being instead of pushing herself? I guess Mai and her have more in common then I thought.

"Naru what's going on?"asked Yasuhara. Apparently he had figured it out. Naru looked at him then to everyone else. He knew he couldn't keep it a secret any more. He took a deep breath before saying "Konta's sick. She's been sick for two months now."

"Then why is she here in England?" Bou-san asked

"Why didn't she go to a doctor?" Ayako asked.

"Is she aright? Do they know what's wrong with her? When did you find out?" John asked. Naru sighed and faced Ayako. "All I know is that she went to three different doctors, and none of them could find out what was wrong. They all asked her to stay in the hospital for observation but being Konta she refused and left." Naru turned to Bou-san and said "The reason she's in England was because when we got the case we were unaware of her illness and since both Madoka and I forced her to come to England she really didn't have much of an option." Finally he turned to John. "I don't know anything more then she can barely stand on her own. She also has trouble keeping food down and she gets high fevers. I found out the first night we came here. When everyone was at dinner I went for a walk and I found her outside puking. When I asked her about it she told me that she had been sick for the last two months and that I wasn't aloud to tell anyone. I wasn't even aloud to tell Tom what she was doing."

"Noll, Tom's on his way."Lin said as he hung up the phone. Naru nodded to him. Ayako turned back to the others.

"What are you doing?" she yelled. Everyone looked at her. "I need ice, a damp towel, a blanket and Bou-san get her on the couch." John and Yasuhara ran out of the room to get the thing Ayako needed. When John and Yasuhara came back Ayako got to work. Masako looked between Ayako and Konta for a while before saying "Don't you think we should get her to a hospital or something?"

"No, Konta would probably cause more trouble then we need if we did that. Plus I'm sure it will pass." said Naru.

"You better be right. If her temperature goes any higher we are gonna have to put her into a tub of ice." said Ayako. The door opened and in walked Tom. Everyone moved aside to let him through. He sat down next to her. He could now see tears falling from her closed eyes. He sighed in relief. It's only one of those. He thought to himself. He sifted himself into a better position and waited. Within second's Konta shot up and he caught her before she fell. Once Konta felt something wrap around her she gabbed on to the person and pulled them closer and started to cry. She couldn't take it anymore. She just wanted them to stop.

Tom held her tighter as she continued to cry. He felt everyone's eyes on them but he really didn't care. Right now he new what Konta saw was worse then some people staring at him. Konta mumbled something. He pulled her back a little so he could hear what she had to say. She refused to look at him but she repeated herself anyway. "Mai's dead." She whispered before wrapping her arms around Tom's neck and crying more into his shoulder.

Naru felt something crack in him. He didn't know how to respond to that. He didn't even know if he heard her right. He hoped he hadn't heard her right.

"Oliver." Naru looked at Tom, who had a serious expression. Naru's worst reality had come. "I think you should get to the house." He said before Naru ran out of the room, followed by Lin.

'ello! not much to say other then srry bout killing Mai. Though since this is only the chapter 12 and Naru is on his way imn pretty sure everything will turn out alright. pretty sure. Anyway i really don't have much to say...
