Chapter 14

2 days, it had been 2 long days since Mai was kidnapped from the hospital, it had been posted all over the news, showed on the front page of every newspaper in town, everyone was on the look out for the poor young girl that had disappeared.

Naru was constantly out in the city driving around searching for the girl, he was not giving up, he was always interviewing and asking questions. The young girl could be anywhere in Tokyo, no… she could be anywhere in japan if the kidnapper thought Tokyo wasn't safe to keep her captive. He hadn't slept, he hadn't eaten, it was tearing him apart.

The others was also helping out in the search they was worried, but none of them had refused to acknowledge if the girl was dead.

On the other side of town, Mai had been placed in a dark daunting room, handcuffed to the bed post, she had suffered multiple beatings, her hospital gown she had been in, had been replaced with some sweat pants and a t-shirt, her hair was slicked back and greesy, she looked pale from the lack of food and hydration. Every so often Hibiki would come into the room to talk to her, but it always ended up with him beating her.

The door to the room opened up, Mai winced from the light, being locked up in a dark room had messed with her vision. She was scared, from what he told her, he had planned on allowing men to have there ways with her. The grin on his face indicated that he was ready to set his plan into motion.

"How is the princess today?" she gave him a ice cold stare like Naru does, god she's spent too much time with the Narsassit. He knelt down close to the bed " Get away from me Hibiki, I don't want to be near you!" he laughed and stood up pinning her down on the bed. "Oh you'll want to be near me soon enough Mai."

She brought her knee up into his ribs giving a grunt he slammed his fist down into her face. " you little bitch!" he hit her again, and again. But her cries in the house for help was hopeless, no one was in the house to save her.

Across town the members of SPR minus Mai, was all sat down, they had no idea on where the girl was. Ayako was sat in monks arms shaking, she wanted Mai back home safe with her family. Rhythm was in Yasu's arms praying that Mai would not be found dead, she had just been reunited with her last blood living relative. Madoka was sat on Mai's desk with Lin behind her, and Naru he was sat in the chair, his head hanging low. No one knew what to do or say, they had searched every inch of the house. Masako and John still hadn't arrived back yet from their search of the town.

A knock came from the door, and a woman walked in, it was Mrs. James, Ayako shot up. "what the hell are you doing here? Come to press more charges against us?" the woman stood there and shook her head. "No, I haven't could you please hear me out? I want to help, especially after the way my husband and son have been treating you all." Naru stood up and allowed the woman to sit down, " what makes you think you'll be able to help us Mrs. James?"

The woman looked to Naru, " my husband isn't what he seems, he's actually a very violent man, and I think my son's been taking after his habits. When I first met Mai back when you came to investigate my house. I didn't know she was my sons girlfriend, but after seeing the events and when my son came to visit that day I put the wounds and my son together figuring it out.

I had wanted to come and talk to you a lot earlier but my husband caught wind of me and …." she gripped onto her arms, Ayako noticed this and knelt down in front of the woman, she pulled up the woman's sleeve. " He beat you didn't he?" Mrs. James nodded, " we own another house just on the outskirts of town, I know what Hibiki did to that poor girls mother.

Lisa Taniyama was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen when I was young, everyone wanted to be like her. Famous, beautiful, loved, and she didn't care about the money, she gave it all away to charity so long as she had her daughter near her. She had lost her husband to cancer when Mai was just 4. Maybe… Hibiki is there with the young girl." They looked to the woman, this might be the break they needed, Naru stood up and looked over to the men, " the guys come with me, Mrs. James you stay here, you'll be protected." they nodded listening to the instructions.

John and Masako had been notifed on the situation, Naru had asked John to go back to the office with Masako and make sure that Mr. James didn't turn up there and attack the women.

Mrs. James had given them directions towards the house on the outskirts of town, Lin was in the drivers seat, with Naru in the passenger, Yasu and Monk was in the back. Lin was driving over the speed limit, making cars in front or at the side of them, weary and even some almost crashed. The police caught wind of this and began chasing them down, but that did not make Lin stop.

Back inside the mansion, Mai was curled up her sweatpants had been tossed to the side her t-shirt had been ripped open, her face was tear stained, the bed lifted up as Hibki smirked pulling on his jeans, "I'll bring you a birth control pill, I don't want any little brats running around." "JUST STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME YOU BASTARD!" he looked to her with hard eye's, grabbing a knife from the side. He began to slowly walk up to her. She tried backing up to the wall but there was little place where she could go, the handcuffs was limiting her movement. " I just gave you a nice time, and that's all you can say to me? Your worse than any other bitch I've fucked."

Mai shook her head, " No, please just stay away from me Hibiki" he knelt up on the bed and leaned in closer "Unfortunatly the damage has been done Mai," he pressed the tip of the knife against her stomach, he looked down already seeing the former scar he placed on her body 5 years ago, he pressed a little deeper drawing blood, she shook her head, her body began shaking causing the knife to go in a zig zag, causing a wound to go bigger on her stomach. " If you beg, I might kill you faster, that way you won't have to feel any pain."

Mai's legs retracted and kicked him off her with what ever little strength she had left. She knew it was a bad thing to do because he jumped on top of her and brought the knife down, she was quick to dodge it the first time but she then was stabbed in the shoulder, letting out a loud scream it hurt, it felt like he had stabbed her right threw the bone he then raised his arm and slashed down on her left eye, closing it tightly blood ran down her eye going down dropping off her chin.

The door downstairs had slammed open the small group of SPR had made there way, just as they had came in the scream was heard, Naru shot his head up to the stairs "MAI!" he ran forward a little trying to see where the scream came from. " NARU HELP M- AHHHH!" Naru didn't wait for anyone, he took off up the stairs with Lin and Monk trailing behind him, Yasu wasn't as fast as them so it took him a little longer.

Mai had been stabbed just below her ribs, just above her old scar creating a T shape, " you useless bitch DIE!" he brought the knife down one last time going straight for her heart when the door slammed open and Naru tackled him out of the way, the knife flung across the room.

Naru punched the man, and held him by the throat, Hibiki just smirked looking to him "what you going to do kill me?" Naru was so focused on harming the man that he didn't notice that Lin had took off his jacket and went to help the girl "MAI STAY WITH US!" Naru turned to see Mai she looked so damaged beyond repair.

Monk had found some rope and tied up Hibiki while Yasu was calling an ambulance, straight after he also called the police, which the cops turned up faster because they had been chasing Lins van all the way to the house. Naru went to Mai's side, Lin was trying to calm the bleeding down "Naru look for a key to get these cuffs off her wrists!"

He began looking for the key when Mai's voice spoke, " Don't touch me! Please get off me!" Lin looked to the poor girl, " Mai if I let the pressure go, you'll bleed to death!" Mai shook her head, "No no no! just let me go! I don't want to be touched!" she began struggling against Lin's hands. He knew why but they had to keep her settled.

The paramedics came, luckly one of them was a female and she managed to Calm Mai down, it just looked like she was really afraid of Men. They soon got her out of there and to the hospital where they gave emergency treatment for the girl.

2 hours later

The whole of SPR was waiting for the results on their youngest member at the hospital, when they first saw the guy's and the amount of blood over Lin's shirt they had asummed the worst. Ayako and Rhythm had started crying, monk had held them both saying that Mai's a strong girl and will make it out of this ok.

Madoka was sat down on a chair, she felt like it was all her fault for not being able to help Mai.

Naru was feeling even worse, the words she had said when Lin was trying to help her ran threw his mind ' don't touch me!' would she say that to him also? Just the other day they had such a lovely moment.

Footsteps brought them all to look at Mai's hospital room door and opened it, the doctor came out and closed the door. Ayako stood in front of everyone "is she ok?" the doctor stood in front of them, she was a tall blonde, blue eyes, she could have easily been mistaken for Johns older sister. " She's very tramatic at the moment, she has stab wounds to both her shoulder and just below her ribs, none that is serious, her eye has been damaged, there maybe a possibility she could be either partially or fully blind in it. There will be a visible scar there also.

There is also signs of sexual assault, I highly recommend that the males in your group stay away from her until she is ready, I have already assigned her up for counselling." the doctor bowed to them, "I will be on my way, you can go in and see her, but like I said… the males might be best waiting a while before visiting her."

That had crushed Naru, he loved the girl deeply, and this woman was telling him to stay away, Masako nodded standing up, " we understand, thank you for everything you've done." the doctor nodded "I'll come back and check up on her later," with that the woman left, everyone looked to each other. Rhythm walked over to the door and gently knocked, she waited for an answer and walked into the room, Mai had her arm in a sling, wearing a hospital gown, fresh one at that. Her throat had been bandaged up from the abuse she took from the strangling, multiple bruises and scraps on her face, her left eye was bandaged up.

She looked up seeing her sister, Rhythm ran straight to the side of Mai's bed and brought her into a hug, " I… I thought I lost you!" Mai wrapped her good arm around the girl gripping onto the shirt tightly. " Rhythm….w..where's Naru?" Rhythm turned her head looking to the door, she knew Naru was still there. " he's right outside, but the doctor advised him not to come in…" Mai gripped her shirt tighter, "I want … to see him…" with that Naru walked into the room standing at the foot of the girls bed. He didn't like seeing Mai like this she looked so vulnerable. "Mai… I… "

Mai looked up to him, "Thank you… I knew you'd come… thank you so much… I.. I was so scared…" Rhythm felt Mai's nails dig into her skin, she wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Mai… it's ok, Naru's not going to hurt you." Mai nodded " I know… " "Mai" This caused Mai to look at the man in front of her, her hero, her saviour. Before he could say anything else Mai beat him to it, "don't you dare start apologising to me Naru! You saved my life… if it wasn't for you… I wouldn't be here, so please… don't apologise for anything… and … you probably won't even like me now anyway." she placed a hand to her wounded eye.

He walked to the side of her bed kneeling down, " how can you say I won't like you? Any scares that are left on your body after this will not put me off my feelings for you, I love you Mai, I will help you threw this, I'll be there when this goes to trial… so please… allow me to be there for you, I know its going to be hard for you, I know how much its going to make you suffer…"

Mai took a deep breath, she had kept her grip on Rhythm, but she let go slightly and nodded, " I … I want you here with me, I'm scared… and I appreciate what Lin did back at that house, I want him to know I don't hate him, I thank him for helping me."

With that the two spent the rest of the night with Mai, the others had decided to turn in for the night.
