Hey Daughter here!

All talking at the bottom.

I don't own anything

~~Mai's POV~~

"How are you princess Mai?"

The light slowly got dimmer to the point that I could see. There in the corner was a girl in a black trench coat and black leather shin-high boots. The room itself looked old, but so familiar. It was obvious what it was used for in the past as a ball room. There is this itch in the back of my brain that keeps saying that I know where I am.

"Princess? You must have me confused with someone else" Mai said with a confused look on her face as she got up.

"No I don't think so unless your name isn't Mai Taniyama"

"No that's my name, but how do you know it and why did you call me princess?"

"Let's just say I know a lot about your past, but you don't know it… yet" she said in almost a whisper, then "your friend will come get you when I leave." Suddenly it became extremely bright "DAMN" I yelped at the sudden hurt in my eyes. Then it got dimmer… again and she was gone.

A few minutes later Naru came running up next to me. "You ok Mai"

"I'm fine, my eyes just hurt is all" I said as Naru helped me up, but I soon fell down. Naru soon got frustrated after a few tries, so he just hooked his right arm under my knees and put his left behind my back and lifted me up so he was carrying me bridal style.

I was to weak to protest so I fell asleep with my head on his chest on the way out of that old dusty mansion that looked so familiar.

~~Naru's POV~~

Mai had fallen asleep and i'm NOT walking all the way back to the hotel, which is almost 2 miles away. She might be as light as a feather, but I still called over a cab when we got in town.

"Hey where you want go, man" the cab driver asked as I set Mai in the seat and buckled her in then I went around the side and sat and buckled up.

"The Baljeet Hotel" I said as I watched Mai sleep and held her hand waiting for her to wake up.

~~Time Skip~~

As the cab pulled up to the hotel I let go of Mai's hand and opened the door, unbuckling my seatbelt and went around the back of the cab to Mai's door

She didn't wake up the entire ride which had me worried, but as I pulled her from the cab bridal style she stirred which relieved me. I paid the man and walked up the stairs to the front doors and opened it. I walked through the lobby earning many stares, which I ignored and kept walking to the elevator. I walked to my door and used my keycard to open the door and walked in, kicking my door shut.

I put her on my bed, and walked to the island where my phone was. I picked it up and checked it for missed calls. I apparently had 12 missed calls from Lin, Monk and Ayako. I called Lin so I wouldn't get yelled at from the fighting couple. Lin answered after the 3rd ring and asked where me and Mai are.

"In my hotel room, Mai was kidnapped and I didn't have my cell phone so I followed her and her kidnapper to an old abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town" I heard a sigh of relief on the other side of the phone.

"We'll be there shortly"He said and hung up.

"Naru" called a sleepy voice from behind me. I turned around to see Mai sitting up in bed rubbing her beautiful chocolate brown eyes and her hair everywhere. I walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Your hair is everywhere" I said bluntly as leaned forward and tried to fix her hair. As I leaned to get the back I leaned a little too far and lost my balance landing on her causing us to fall on the bed. My right arm next to her head and my lips were mere centimeters from hers.

I soon began to blush, but didn't move as she looked straight into my eyes asking permission. And I knew what she wanted.

I slowly nodded so as not to disturb our moment. We slowly leaned toward each other and...

BANG, BANG,BANG!

We jumped apart, me ending up on the end of the bed and her sitting up leaning against the headboard, breathing heavy. I look at her with the saddest look I could possibly make, walked up to her and kissed her cheek saying "Sorry" before my mask came up and I opened the door.

Holy Shit don't kill me there MIGHT be a kiss scene i the next chapter.

This was so much fun to write and I love where I left off, you might not though.
