End of last chapter so you guys aren't so confused (hopefully :/)

He kissed the top of my head. I hugged him back. I missed him so much… I loved him more than anything… He was all I had…

"Hey guys, we need Mai back in the class –" My teacher had walked out just now. She had seen us hugging and kissing. "Oh, uh…"

The boy from my foster family peeked his head out behind her. "Mai, are you all righ –" He had seen us too.

Well maybe he wouldn't like me that way anymore. All I knew was I had my favorite person back. I reached over and kissed him, still in his arms. I never wanted to let go. Never.

~Mai POV~

But of course, I had to. My English teacher told me the office needed me because they were interviewing everyone who had been in room A113 when the person broke in. She also told me that the police were coming to the school when the murderer woke up (from when he fainted) and escaped. I actually whimpered a little and Mori patted my head while I buried it in his chest. I looked up at him and then walked away slowly. How could he have possibly escaped again?

I walked up the stairs to my main classroom.

I quietly called the teacher's name, not wanting to disturb him.

"Yes?" He looked up from his seat behind his desk. He was obviously correcting papers.

"Umm… Apparently the need me in the office and uh… I was just wondering… Because it has to do with this morning and all…"

"Oh, this morning. Yes, that was pretty scary, eh? Don't worry. If you're still scared, I'll come to the office with you."

"Uh!" I anime gasped, my eyes widening. (I don't know how to describe this so just picture whatever you want right here. Maybe even sparkly purple dust sprinkling out of her mouth. Whatever your sick little mind desires.) "But uh… You don't have to – I mean I'm really not scared!" I said fast. When I talked fast and fumbled like that I was scared. But the teacher didn't need to know that.

I sighed and let my hair fall in my face again. Suddenly, I felt someone patting my back.

"Come on, let's go," he said. "Everyone else who was here this morning was scared too. I'm helping out any who ask."

~ Mori POV sukahs! ^_^ PEACE! *duck face*~

The office… The office… Where? Ah, here. Mai's teacher said they needed her there, and I had to protect her… I heard a soft murmur of voices. One I could recognize easily – Mai's. But I couldn't understand what they were saying. It was muffled.

"Eavesdropping, Mori-sempai?" Kyoya smiled as I turned my head to face him. When did he show up…?

"Yeah."

"All I need to find is… Ok here it is." Kyoya put on his business smile. He pulled a cable out of no-where as it seemed to me and plugged it into a nearby outlet with a label above it that I couldn't read. The print was too tiny.

Kyoya walked back over with his laptop and the cable still connected. "The outlet was connected to another inside the room which was connected to their cameras."

… How did he figure this all out?

"Here," he showed me his laptop.

It showed a few important-looking people sitting behind a large desk. Mai was sitting across from them. Kyoya turned up the volume.

They were asking, "Did you know the man that broke into room A113?"

"No," Mai denied simply. They jotted this down, and so did Kyoya who had just pulled out his notebook.

"You seem really scared. Are you sure?"

"Yes. Everyone was scared this morning."

More jotting down.

"According to a girl earlier, his eyes were searching for something."

"Yes ma'am."

"Do you know what for?"

"No, not at all," Mai said believably.

"How did your classroom hide in lockdown mode?"

"The teacher shut off all the lights and locked the door. Then we all hid on the counter next to the door and on desks in front of the counter."

"Where did you hide?"

"On one of the desks, sir."

"Did you see if he had anything in his hands?"

"A piece of paper and something to pry the door open."

There was a long pause as everyone took notes.

"Thank you very much," they said finally. "Once again, you did not know this man?"

"No, sempai."

"Did any of your friends talk about someone threatening them?"

"I don't talk to any of the others."

"You are new here, correct?"

"For a few months, yes."

"Where you were from, were there any rumors about murderers on the loose or in jail or anything like that?" A man asked her gently.

"No sir. I didn't pay attention to those things."

"Thank you very much. Your name is…?"

"Mai."

"Last name, please?"

That's when I realized, I didn't know Mai's last name. She had always been –

"It's just Mai."

"How can that be?"

"I was never given a last name."

I was shocked. How could that be? But I wondered as everyone stood up inside the office, was this the truth? Mai had denied everything inside. Could she be lying about her name, also? Why?

Suddenly, the computer screen went blank. Kyoya had unplugged the cable.

"Time to go," he said.

We left the school and met the others outside. Tamaki suggested we all go look for a hotel to stay in. Little did we know, it was owned by Kyoya's family…

~Mai POV~

Well, I guess I was more believable than I thought, since everyone seemed to believe my lies. I walked back to my English class. Well, this was going to be a long day.

~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.

The teacher had given us this day to just hang out because of what happened this morning. Most people talked, and Asa tried to talk to me, and I kind-of responded. That was until I pulled out a piece of blank paper. Ah, I hadn't written a song in a while…

~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.~x~.

When I got to the Tanaka house, I was hugged by everyone but Tomoya. They were all so worried about me, and they kept on asking questions about if I was ok and STUFF. I didn't like being hugged at all, but somehow they finally stopped and I said I was going for a walk in their backyard.

I walked along the little creek they had, stopping occasionally to pick up little pebbles and throw them in mindlessly. Minutes later, I heard footsteps approaching fast and heavy breathing. I turned around. It was Tomoya.

"Hey," he panted. "They didn't want you walking around alone after what happened this morning."

"Ah."

We walked in silence until he asked, "So um… That guy… I didn't know you were… dating someone. Heh!" he laughed nervously.

"Oh, um… We weren't until… this morning…"

He sweatdropped. A lot. "So you mean it was only a few seconds and you were already hugging and kissing and –"

"No, um… It's not like that," I told him awkwardly. "We uh… Were going out for a while… But then we uh… stopped… And now… We-"

"Oh, ok." He seemed really nervous. "Sorry… I was just wondering."

"It's ok," I smiled a little. I just – I don't want anyone in your family mad at me or anything… Because um… I'm really happy you guys fostered me."

He stuck out his hand for me to shake. "Friends?" he asked.

I took his hand and shook it. "Friends," I smiled.

Then we turned around and started walking back to the house as the sun set. It wouldn't be so awkward now.

So I'm wondering – should this murderer have a name? Cuz I thought he should because it's annoying to me to keep writing "the murderer" blah blah blah BUT then again, how would Mai know his name? Oh, yeah, well there IS Kyoya… Hmm… I need help! :/

And also, I'm not sure if Mai is Mary-Sue… I mean I thought she wasn't because she's like scared of this murderer and lighting and stuff but if she IS maybe you guys could give me some suggestions of things she could be scared of too but that also fits her character…?

Well anyways thanks for reading! Please review too!
