Chapter 49: Katniss and Lucinda.


"So, Katniss you met her outside earlier before I came and got you?" Naru asked. I had finally calmed down and he had said sorry for what had happened and for missing my scan, but he said he would come to the next one which should have been my first although today was sort of a scan/checkup thing. I realized that Naru was really serious and asked if I wanted to know the gender on the second scan. I promptly said no cause I wanted a surprise which surprised him but he agreed nonetheless.

"Yeah, but I cant remember that much off it, like its been blocked from my mind after the fall, she had said something but I cant remember," I pondered on the meeting a bit more but I just met a dead end. I looked at Naru for an answer but he sat across me on the bed thinking also. He looked up at me and opened his mouth to speak then shut it. "No, go on,." I said as he began thinking again and he then sat up straight.

"I'm just intrigued at the fact that Katashi-san and Mio-san didn't say anything about another daughter, he was soled on just having Lucinda as a daughter, you understand, Mai? Mai?" I looked up at him as a voice shot through my mind, "Mommy and Daddy don't love me, they kicked me out." "Naru, Katniss, I remember, she said that her parents had kicked her out, but if Katniss is dead then she should have just died?"

Naru sighed and went back to thinking when there was a knock at the door, "Come in?" I called. The door opened slowly and there stood Lucinda in her nighty. "Hello," she whispered and me and Naru shared a glance before I got up and slowly walked over to her, "Hey Sweetie, whats up, shouldn't you be in bed," I glanced at the clock, it was eight. She nodded and looked behind her down the hall, "I wanted to speak to you with out Daddy and Mommy here...em...can I?" she asked with her hands behind her back, I smiled, she was so cute.

I looked at Naru who nodded and stood, I knew he was getting a notebook out of his bag, I ushered Lucinda into the room and she scrambled up onto the bed in the middle but by the pillows. I smiled softly and shut the door. I walked over to the bed and Naru returned with a pen and pad. I sat next to Lucinda and she snuggled up to my side and Naru sat in front of us, "Okay, Lucinda, what is it you wanted to say," he said softly and I gave him a small smile.

Lucinda looked up at me and then at Naru, "Well, when you spoke with me, Mommy and Daddy I was shocked when they didn't tell you about Catnip, I mean, Katniss," I just stared at the girl, and then looked up at Naru, "Who is Katniss?" he asked. "Katniss was my older sister, she died last year when I was 6, Mommy said that I shouldn't say anything cause they only loved me and that I should just care about becoming good at reading and writing along with being able to the play the violin."

"How did she die?" Naru asked and I was shocked with the question but didn't say anything because Lucinda answered. "Mommy and Daddy said she died from an illness called Leukemia or lukemia? I cant remember that well but I just nodded and that but then when Mommy was washing clothes the other day I helped hang them up to dry and my Mommy was chucking clothes back in a dirty pile and I saw blood, I asked who had hurt themselves and she said it was girls problems and I would understand when I was older." I stared at the seven nearly 8 year old girl, she was far too mature for her age, she knew what it was, I then noticed her eyes looked at little lifeless and dull, I looked at Naru and knew he saw the same thing.

"Okay," I spoke, "So what did you want to tell us?" I asked, Lucinda looked up at me, "Just that Mommy didn't say anything and I was just curious and that I should tell you," I nodded, I knew this was all right information because I could now remember what had happened when I saw Katniss earlier, "Thank you sweetie but, why didn't you just tell us yourself,?" she stared at me confused. "Why did you need to inhabit the poor little girl, Gene,"

Lucinda looked shocked but the shrugged and sighed, "Hey, im the one that couldn't reach you earlier so I had to do something else and tell you some guiding information you know,." I sighed and Gene sat up in Lucinda's body, "Okay, now you have told us Gene do you mind leaving the girl alone," Naru said, Gene held the girls hands up, "Okay, Okay, im going, just going to put the girl back to bed," and with that he scrambled of the bed and trotted off back to Lucinda's room. I watched him go with a smile and shook my head, I then looked at Naru who was looking over the notes, I notice that he look tired and couldn't concentrate.

I pulled the notebook out of his grasp and put it on the table next to me and reached towards him, "Naru, you look rough and tired, please, you haven't slept for three days now, since we got this case, please, can you get some rest," he went to shake his head but he looked at me and knew I really meant this. "Okay," I smiled and he got up to get changed, I also stood the pull back the covers and to climb into bed.

So, Katniss was dead and she didn't know, Lucinda or rather Gene had said that Mio and Katashi had told Lucinda Katniss had died of Leukemia, Lucinda also saw blood on clothes. Katniss was screaming at me not to say anything to Mio or Katashi about seeing her in the woods, I sighed as I pulled the covers over my body, it was now just connecting all the little pieces and putting them together and I knew that tomorrow that was just what Naru was going to do.

I watched Naru walk over in his pajamas and climb into bed next to me, I then slid closer to him and cuddle him as he pulled the covers over himself. I rested my head on his chest but just under his chin and he wrapped his arms around me. "Mai,"

I looked up at him, "Yes Naru," he smirked and kissed my forehead, "I love you and you owe me some well deserved tea." I smiled at the 'I love you' part because it was different that Naru had said something like that and when it came to realizing the last part I sighed, "You never change Naru, and I love you for that," and with that I feel asleep with three amazing things on my mind.

Saving Katniss.

Loving Naru.

And,

Our loving baby.


So what do you think?
