Chapter 25

Raiden was a handsome man he had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes with a hint of red. He had a scar above his eyebrow. He had explained to them that he had not formed a bond with Mai because he was afraid. He knew nothing about children and the life he lived would be not suitable for a growing girl. His life was business. It was sad. Everyone felt bad for him. He had been very fond of his younger brother and had been attached to his niece, but he couldn't bring himself to form a bond. He was a little like how Naru was and sort of still is. If you don't know him and understand his nature then you would peg him as a cold hart person. Once he found out about his associate's interest in Mai he had decided he had to contact her. It was him who sent the mysterious baby shower gifts. He had sent her anonymous gifts over the years, including her engagement and wedding. They were his way of showing that he cared.

Naru understood the pain of loosing you closest friend, your brother. He did not want to let people into his life, but that didn't stop them. He was now a happily married man and soon to be father. He had a good friends and a loving family. It was all because of Mai.

"I want to make something clear." Mai said to Raiden. "I don't intend to let you keep yourself all closed off. If you want to have contact with me, you must be prepared to commit to a big loving family life. You can't just send gifts and letters expect me not to be angry. You have to show up in person for family events and friendly visits. Those are my conditions." Mai finished and looked straight at a quiet Raiden.

"I'll agree to your conditions." He smiled. It was his true smile. It reminded them a little of Mai.

"I think that maybe I should share with you some of the things that have been going on." Mai said and she explained everything from the castle to the dreams and now. He nodded and listened to every single word.

"Do you think you could draw the symbol that you saw on the doctors' masks? I might be able to identify it for you." He had a maid fetch a pencil and paper for Mai. Mai began to draw. It was a strange symbol. Aunt Reika and Molly had never seen it. They said it looked like it could be something pertaining to the children of the Sun.

She finished and passed the paper to Raiden. He looked at it carefully. It was a pentagram that was placed over a Sun with long squiggly rays (note: pentagrams are not evil, they are used for a variety of things, the inverted pentagram is usually associated with satanic worship. The symbol that I just described I made up idk if it actually exists)

'This is the symbol that use to represent the children of the Sun. It's an old symbol, not very common." He explained "It began as the symbol for the Sun Warriors. The Phoenix Warrior was a fire master. There were others fire masters and they banded under him. They were called the Sun Warriors." He looked around at the confused faces as he said fire masters. So he explained "They aren't what you would think of as fire benders people who shot flames. That is a misconception. They drew their power from fire and the sun's rays. They also performed magic, like with pagans. Children of the Moon are similar. The story about him rising from the flames is most likely false and he played it up for his own benefit."

"So this symbol has no present day context?" Naru asked "You said it was old and uncommon."

"It is. Most of who were descendants of the Sun Warriors created their own family crests. We associate ourselves with just a picture of the Sun. This symbol hasn't been used since the Phoenix Warrior died. Even if you researched the history of the Sun Warriors you wouldn't find this symbol. Only few of us know this symbol. It's in the tomb of the Phoenix Warrior." He explained.

"So why would Mai see that symbol on the doctors?" Monk asked.

"The threat is from someone who is a Sun Warrior? Is that doctor that a descendant?" Naru asked Raiden.

"No he is not. He is not even a child of the Sun. He is just someone who likes the occult. I don't see him as a threat anymore he is no longer in the country he was a foreigner." said Raiden.

"So you will still not give us his name?" Mai asked.

"I'm sorry, but I can not." Raiden frowned. "I will take care of him. Don't worry about him anymore."

A month later

Raiden had told them to not worry about the doctor. Mai's pregnancy was progressing normally. They had finished the nursery. It was very beautiful. The floors were hard wood with a large area rug. It had jungle animals around the border. Tiny tigers, lions, and panthers pounced around. Monkey swung from trees and elephants raised their trunks. Exotics birds either perched in trees or in flight. The walls had white wainscoting and colored stripes in shades of greens and yellows and cream. The cribs were placed side by side against one wall. The space in between them, they had placed a table with a little lamp. In one corner, there stood an old rocking chair. The changing table was across the room. They were lucky the room was so large because they had so many things. They were lucky that they had made the closet large to fit all the clothes and other items. Mai looked at the room. In just a short time she and Naru would have their twins. She insisted that she still be allowed to go to the office rather than be stuck at home where she felt like a blimp, but the office was closed today because the team had a case.

"Hmmm. I think we should go get some lunch. Mommy is hungry." Mai turned and went downstairs to the kitchen. She was home alone right now. Naru and the other were on a case. She didn't like being left behind, but she couldn't have Naru quit taking cases just because she was pregnant. There were people who need his help.

She began to slice the tomatoes. She stopped and looked down. There was blood on the knife. She looked around at the counter. The blood seemed to be spreading, but she didn't know where it was coming from. 'I'm imagining this just like all the other times' she frantically thought to herself. She tried to continue what she had been doing. She hurried around the room and took out the cheese and hot sauce from the fridge. Her hand slipped on the handle from the blood. She set them on the table. She slipped and fell to the floor. She looked at her hands and her front. They were soaked in blood. That was when she realized where the blood was coming from. She had cut her own wrist. She stared in horror at what she had done to herself. She screamed and began to panic.

She hurried to get up and slipped and fell again. The room grew darker and darker. She felt the coldness setting in. He was walking towards her.

"No! Not yet I won't die yet!" she screamed. Death smiled as he kneeled beside her.

"Are you sure about that?" he laughed and held her face to kiss her. If he kissed her it was all over and she wouldn't be going back.

"Mai! Stay with me! I've called an ambulance. You going to be fine." Raiden said to her. She was back in her kitchen. Raiden had come to visit and heard her screams. When he came to the kitchen he saw the blood smeared everywhere and Mai on the floor. She struggled to sit up.

"What's going on?" she asked looking confused. Her uncle helped her to a chair. He had wrapped a handkerchief around her wrist forming a tourniquet. Mai was dizzy. She heard the ambulance in the background. Before she knew it she was in the ER.

The doctors has stitched her up and checked to make sure the twins were fine. They told her she was lucky that her fall hadn't sent her into labor. Naru ran in just then.

"Mai, thank god." He said breathlessly he embraced her carefully. "what happened?"

"I'm not even sure. I thought I was hallucinating." Mai said.

She was discharged and they returned home. Mai was supposed to take it easy now. The rest of the SPR team had been in the waiting room. They all followed them home. Naru helped Mai upstairs to rest. When he came back down he saw that everyone was looking in the kitchen. He walked in and saw it. The Mai's blood smeared was everywhere. He felt a little sick at the sight of her bloody hand prints.

"I think we should clean this up before Mai sees it." John spoke up. Everyone took a sponge and went to work.

"I have decided to take some time off. Mai is getting closer to her due date and I don't want to be too far away in case anything happens. I'm leaving Madoka and Lin in charge." They all agreed with his decision.

OK that is the end of chapter 25. Is Mai going crazy and trying to kill herself? No I just wanted to spice it up a bit. She really did it on accident. Even though I don't know if you can accidently slit your wrist while cutting tomatoes. Fingers yes, but its more interesting this way. Please review.
