I love drama, but I prefer to keep their personalities, hope you don't mind.

Her eyes were heavy, she couldn't open them no matter what. The desire to sleep over powered her even when the strange and loud noises began. She could hear people talking in hush whispers but whatever they said was distorted by the place she was in. It was a limited space, her breath hit the wall in front of her face and she felt it hit back her parted lips... But she was tired, too tired to care.

She would care about that later, right now what was important was to go back to sleep.

"Son... I heard about it from Kōujo .. Are you alright?"

"...Does mother know?" His face didn't give in to any emotion, but his fist had the paper note in a tight hold.

"I don't wish to worry her, Madoka is beside her, she will probably tell her. When is right"

"Good. Could you handle the police?" Naru opened the door to leave but was stopped by his father's hand.

"Better than that son. Let's teach them a lesson" as soon as the words left his lips, Lin and an old friend catched his attention. The cold mask he had glued on his face, finally broke to a full wry smile. His adoptive father was something he was rather proud of.

She was starting to sweat, it was getting warmer and the oxygen didn't fill in her lungs at all. Perhaps she should wake up.

Whatever she was in, had a few hits and latter shoves hitting the ground could be heard... Was someone covering a hole? Or digging one? but as soon as she thought that she felt back to sleep, her body didn't wish to move either...

"...I"

... 'naru?'

"...ai..."

... 'just a few more minutes' she thought as her eyebrows and eyelids squeezed against the white light.

"Mai, wake up" his voice was harder. His command clear as a hint of anguish sharpened his voice.

Sensing that, her own instinct kick in, it was important to wake up. Trying her hardest she slowly opened her eyes...

They didn't focus at all... She only managed to see a blurry image on her first try, but as she blinked in painfully. She could finally look at Naru's dirt covered face. His breath was caught in his throat, but it was soon released as he instantly hugged her. She could feel him shaking. Too bad she didn't catch his expression...

Her mind was slowly waking up, she stayed paralyzed until, worry made it through her. Was something wrong? Was he sick?

"N.. Naru .. you... okay?" Her mouth was dry. Even her own breath hurt her throat... She felt his body shift slightly as he hugged her harder..it may be her imagination but she could also feel a light cold electric current, slowly building inside him... Concerned she hugged him back, before her world turned to darkness...

"Mai, sweetie. It's time to wake up" Luella's motherly voice commanded.

Smiling slightly. Mai rubbed her eyes to cast away her sleepiness. She yawned lightly and scretch her body loudly. She felt way better than what she remembered. Perhaps everything was just a dream?

Her thoughts were halted when Luella took her hand with hers, tears threatened to fall, but with a small smile she guided her to take a bath.

Not really understanding her, she just followed the command and got ready for the day. When she came out they silently made their way towards the dining room.

Madoka quickly went up from her place and went to hug her, Martin kindly patted her head before he hugged his wife in comfort and even Lin showed her a rare small smile... Naru however wouldn't meet her eyes...

"..is something wrong? What happened?" She turned to look at Madoka for an answer.

The atmosphere changed to an awkward silence before she answered.

"You were kidnapped Mai"

A gasp left her lips, before the image of Naru's face full of dirt flashed through her.

She turned and quickly grabbed Naru's hand, to everyone's surprise. "You didn't get hurt right? Are you ok?" Her voice was shaking and her eyes were full of concern.

This time his eyes and poker face betrayed him, he couldn't pull them up fast enough and a small glimpse of emotion shook everyone to the bone. It was as he was hurt right in front of them by her words, he blamed himself to no end.

He slapped her hand away and turned to his back, as both Madoka and Luella cried silently just from that thought..

"...Naru?" She pleaded this time for an answer

"I'm fine" his voice didn't sound fine at all.

She hugged his back and he tensed slightly. "Don't lie"

Both Lin and Martin push the crying women to the door. This was something they didn't need to be part of. It was a private matter the 2 teens had to take care of.

Naru stayed silent even when the door clicked.

A soft sob escaped her lips and his hand instantly became a fist...

"We can go back to Japan tomorrow-" she cut him up before he could continue. "Naru. I don't care about that, it is not the first time I have been kidnapped. Just... Don't push me away"

"I'm not.. -"

"You are! Why won't you look at me?" She released him and tried to stand in front of him. He avoided her face"Naru! Stop! I get that I'm a burden but don't give me the cold shoulder!"

He glared at her, silencing her up completely.

"You're not a burden"

She recovered and glared back "don't you always say I'm an idiot? That I can't do anything right? That-" he cut her off by grabbing her hand and increasing his glare.

"That and this are different matters"

"To me they're not! Am always causing trouble! It was also because of me that my dad died..." She cried unable to control herself. It was the first time she told someone about it. " My dad... He died back then, I was a child but mama told me, dad had protected me from being kidnapped... If it wasn't for me... Dad would-"

Naru cut her cry, by hugging her and burying her face on his chest, there was no way that was her fault. But no matter what he said, she would denied it..

"... Mai. No matter how you see it, this time it was my fault.." she shut up, and hugged him closer, listening intently to his words "I left the room while you slept. When I return you were gone. It took us half the night to find you but if we were even a minute later... You would had died of suffocation. You were buried a live. And it was all because I left you alone"

...

He kept her face on his chest so she couldn't see him...

"You're a self conceited person!" She pushed him away. He blinked "you think is your fault? How? Did you paid the bastards for kidnapping me? No! They're the ones at fault! The same goes for the ones that killed my dad, but you were only taking a break. You're human too, for crying out loud. I thought you were smarter than that"

She sulked, literally. He blinked once again before a small laugh escaped his lips.

She turned to him in awe...

"Your stupidity seems to be rubbing on me" he smirked as her blood began to boil.

She glared.. oh he was going to pay for that. She tried to reach him to shake him lightly but her foot got caught up on the carpet. Without meaning to she brought him down in her momentum.

Her lips landed on his right cheek... He froze up, her body was giving him warm wavelengths every where it touched... To say the least her legs had captured one of his legs, meaning that... He could feel her...where her body touched. Mind not the repetition.

...the door opened "dear? Is everything alright?" Luella's voice filled in the room.

Oh hell no, his mother would never shut up, if she saw that. He instantly push her away not realizing where his right hand landed until he kind of squeeze it...

His eyes widened and he turned to look.. "oh"

. *Slap* the great Oliver Davis, had a red hand print on the face, for the first time in his life...

"Dear? What happened to you face? Where's Mai?" She had crawled away from them, behind the couch

"Mai tried to kill a mosquito"

"What? I did not!" She jumped up, embarrassed and doing so she uncovered her hiding spot. He smirked.

Luella raised an eyebrow "if you didn't, then what happened?"her eyes were already shining from amusement.

She bit her tongue accidentally as a sudden blush covered her face. "I didn't try. I killed the mosquito"

... Silence...

Pff... Naru tried his hardest to remain in his poker face but he ended up laughing "you really are an idiot"

"Ugh! Scew you! Baka!" She ran full speed to her room.

Luella had an amused expression but when she turned to her son, who had already turned back to his controled self, she smirked.

Oh sh*t...

Hmmm is this by any chance out of character? And just in case, Luella had indeed glued herself to the door ;)
