Remember what I said last chapter about the bold and the apostrophes, well there's more of it in this one. Bold is for thoughts, and apostrophes for Mai writing.

Chapter 43: Horny, Insane, Humorless
Mai's POV:
I was walking down the hall of the hospital again except that this time no moon shone through the windows. That left it pitch black. I was as jumpy as a cat after being thrown in a bath of cold water.
Gene waved at me from the end of the hall, waiting in the small bit of light from a candle. I ran over to him, grinning. I wrapped my arms around his waist, happy that someone was here with me. He grinned back albeit a bit sadly.
I ran my arm through his. He smiled down at me, leading me down the hall. "Now, you're going to be so very surprised when you see this," he said, stepping up to a door and looking through the window.
I gave him a questioning look, getting up on tip toes to look through the window. What I saw shocked me. I thought this had been a hospital for mental patients, but actually…
In the room, beds and personal items were floating. The patients here all crowded around the bed of the grey-eyed little girl, except she wasn't a little girl anymore. She looked about 12-years-old, a tween, a young woman. A pregnant one at that. "Sakura, that is so cool! You're so powerful!" some of them shouted.
She grinned, nodding her head in thanks.
"It's too bad you can't talk anymore. Your voice was so beautiful," an old man said from his bed with a smile, staring about a foot above her head. He was blind.
The clock chimed six o'clock. Everything hit the floor at once and children came rushing in through the doors. "Mommy! Your baby is going to be born soon right?" The girl nodded with another smile.
My eyes widened. I looked quickly between Gene and the scene in front of me. "They're not mental! They're psychic!" I shouted.
"All of them are, yes, but not all of them are sane," he told me, but his mouth didn't move. He watched the girl with pitying eyes.
I stopped for a second. "Why is she pregnant so young?"
The pity in his eyes turned to anger, hate, but not for the young pregnant woman playing with the children. "I'd rather not tell you. I'd also rather not have you watch, but that's out of my hands. For now, that is enough. Time to wake up."
…..
My eyes snapped open. I was laying on the pull out bed. Masako lay next to me curled up in a ball, John curled comfortingly around her. Naru was pressed against my back, his arms slung around my waist.
"How in the hell did we all fit on here?" I wondered, sitting up slowly. Naru's arms tightened slightly around my waist.
His face contorted with annoyance. "Mai…brat…stupid medium…" he grumbled, shifting and burying his face in my hip.
I giggled. Even after all these years, I couldn't believe that he called his brother a brat. It was priceless. Gene laughed his ass off when I told him about it. Then I laughed my ass off when he called Naru idiot scientist.
Trying not to wake the others, I got up and went to try to take a shower. "What should I do now?" I asked myself after exiting the shower.
It was only five thirty in the morning so only the most energetic people would be up. Mainly, the pregnant women (namely me or November) and the kids. Surprisingly, neither the babies nor Jamie nor Naru were up yet. I stepped over a snoring Monk and past the baby carriers, heading towards the door.
I heard the breath of two people hitch. Glancing back, I saw Naru push himself up onto his forearms, his head hanging, and Yasu stretched in the armchair, November curled into his side. They groaned simultaneously.
That made me laugh. They glanced at each other before Yasu chuckled.
"So Mai, where might you be disappearing to at this time?" he asked with a teasing grin, "Off to meet your ghost lover?"
"Sorry to tell you, but I've been here the entire time," Gene said, popping up beside me and causing the three of us to jump.
"Jesus Gene, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I thought scathingly at him, glaring.
"No never. Just trying to surprise you," he said with a grin. He held up his hands in defense.
Naru raised his eyebrow. Yasu cut in before he could open his mouth though, "Oh, so this is the famous twin, Eugene Davis. Pleasure to meet you. Sooooo are you competing with Naru for something? You know those friendly brotherly competitions?" He was up and standing in front of us. Naru groaned.
"Yes, yes I am. I am competing with Noll for little Mai's love. Have been for years now," Gene said with a pleasant smile. It was anything but pleasant for me and Naru.
Yasu's glasses glinted as he adjusted them on the bridge of his nose. Not a good sign.
"By the way Noll, Mai was planning on taking a tour of the hospital. Just wanted to tell you that," Gene said, winking as he disappeared.
I glared at the spot he had vacated. Another glare was burning a hole in the side of my head. I turned, chuckling nervously and scratching the back of my head, to face Naru.
He sighed irritated, pushing himself off the bed and walking over to me. "I guess I have no choice. Let's go then," he said, taking my hand.
Yasu followed us out the door, reasoning, "I have to watch the children and make sure they don't do anything bad."
On the fifth floor we heard running footsteps. I freaked out, jumping behind Naru, before realizing it was actually Kuri. "Hey guys, can I come with you?"
I grinned, sighing in relief and nodded. We fell into silence again. It wasn't until we reached the top floor that Naru finally spoke. "Where are you wanting to look?" he asked, looking down at me.
I thought for a little bit before writing, 'The head doctors lab. I have a feeling about that place.'
Now it was Kuri's turn. "Oh! I know where that is!" he exclaimed, leading us down several halls. He stopped in front of an old wooden door, pulling it open. "This is where he performed his tests."
A girl with black hair and grey eyes watched us sadly from down the hall. "Be careful please, miss," I heard her say, but her lips didn't move. Then she was gone.
My brow furrowed in confusion, but the rustling of paper and opening of cabinets and drawers caught my attention. Naru was crouched in front of a large filing cabinet, pulling out file after file. Yasu was looking through the papers scattered across the table tops. Kuri was opening drawers and cabinets and looking inside.
Slowly, the temperature began to drop. I could see my breath in the air within minutes. I stumbled over to Naru, pulling on his sleeve. He looked up, watching my breath stream out my mouth in a thick mist.
His eyes widened and he jumped up. "Everyone out! Now!"
The door slammed shut. Naru swore under his breath. Cackling rang through the lab. "You're all mine now. What perfect specimens!" the voice of Sakura's father rang out, "Children shouldn't snoop. Now for your punishment."
Everything went black.
When I came to, I could hear hysterical laughter from beside me. I pushed myself up on my arms, observing the room.
The temperature had gone back to normal. Yasu and Kuri were stirring on the other side of the room. Next to me, Naru sat. His knees were pulled up to his chest, his arms wrapped tightly around them.
The hysterical laughter had been coming from him. He was rocking back and forth, half-crazed eyes and an insane smile curled his face.
I glanced worriedly at the others. I couldn't scream for help so I had to rely on them. "Come on! Hurry up and wake up! I need help!" I screamed at them.
Kuri jerked upright, startling me. I jumped, slamming against the cabinet doors. He looked around, spotting Yasu next to him. "Hey, little one, get up!" he said, shaking him. Well, he sounded normal.
"Don't call me something so stupid. My name is Osamu Yasuhara," he said tersely, sitting upright. I had never heard Yasu talk like that. Not even when he was pretending to be Naru or drunk, definitely not when he was drunk.
Kuri stared at him for a long moment before tackling Yasu to the ground. He straddled him, pinning his wrists above his head. "I suddenly want to screw someone. Come on, I'll be gentle," he purred, leaning over Yasu.
Yasu growled, "Get off of me. I have no need of this." I gaped at the two.
Something was definitely wrong. Yasu had never responded to such an obvious come on like that. He would have teased back, faking to be gay and Kuri, here was his self-control. Then there was Naru who was now screaming for French fries.
Jumping up, I ran over to Kuri and Yasu, shoving Kuri off of Yasu. "Thank you Mai. That was extremely unpleasant," Yasu said, cleaning his glasses on his shirt. When he adjusted them on his nose, they lacked their usual glint.
"Please. Just a little," Kuri purred, clinging to my leg. Kuri was gay, why was he trying to get into my pants?
"Stay away from my wife ass hole!" Naru screamed from the other side of the room between bursts of hysterical laughter, "French fries! I want French fries!"
Aw, screw my life. Not only was I mute and John blind, now Naru was insane, Yasu was humorless and Kuri has lost all self-control and sexual preferences. As if my life wasn't hard enough already…
Mai: What the HELL?
Sapphire: I'm sorry *smiles behind my hand*
Mai: *narrowed eyes* I fucking hate you.
Naru: *giggles*
Mai: Honey, go back to your padded room. I have your special jacket that lets you hug yourself right here *ushers Naru out*
Monk, Ayako, John, Masako and Madoka: *lmfao*
Sapphire: *grins* Review and we'll see if we can get some more insane-Naru-ness in here.
