So...Here it is!...


Sixth Chapter: Unknown

It was 7 in the evening.

"Bou-san!" a young priest called from downstairs. Apparently calling him for dinner.

Takigawa was so busy. Moving and lifting, and moving some more. A dark-haired teen was twisting and turning a little on the bed as if he knew he was being disturbed. Takigawa smirked as he lifted a brown-haired girl from a chair. He placed her beside the boy, which was Naru. She didn't know about it. So close they were put together.

Mai laid on the bed, she slept with her right side flat on it and so close to him, close to Naru. She was a little under him. Her forehead resting on his chin. Her right hand resting on his chest while her left was on his waist. Her head by his neck, where of course she smelled his sweet scent, which became addictive to her sleep. Her feet entertwined to his.

Naru laid left sideways on the bed, also facing her. He was breathing her intoxicating fume, the smell of her shampoo. His left arm was laid on by her neck, which was hugging her. His left palm came upon to rest by her shoulder. His right arm hugged her by the waist, positioned ontop of her left arm and came to rest on her back. He was almost kissing her forehead, just almost. His left leg ontop of her right leg. He was the dominant one because he was a little higher than her. He was above.

Heheheh..i wonder what their reactions will be? The monk thought. Oh, well...I wouldn't want to jump to conclusions. He smirked. He left and locked the door, from the outside. He happily whistled as his brilliant plan worked out well. He now noticed the girl but thought that she must have just came out of her room just now. So he continued and descended on the stairs.

How brilliant of me...he praised himself over and over again as he proceeded.

The girl stared at the room for sometime before she left for dinner.

"What took you so long?" asked John.

"Where's Mai-san?" he inquired as Takigawa sat down.

"Oh..Just bussiness...heheheh." Takigawa laughed.

"Little girl is busy right now." he giggled as he picked up his fork and knife to cut and eat his piece of meat.

The little girl came in and didn't look at them. Her sight was focused on the floor. Only on the floor.

"Hey! Umm...Thanks for telling us where they were." Takigawa bursted. She just looked at him and proceeded to her chair.

John noticed her gloom as she stared at her food. He got lost from reality when he looked into her eyes. They were scared and lonely. They were looking for something, something really crucial.

"Hey! John, you going to eat that?" Bou-san snapped at him as he noticed him staring only at his food.

"uh? Y-yeah..." he stuttered as he realised what had happened. Mysterious eyes... he thought.


Meanwhile, on Naru's room...

He awakens only to be drunk by her scent. Pure delight and a strong desire illuminated him. His eyes fully opened and revealed his brown-haired assistant in his arms. He grinned as he noticed her breathing in his scent. Hormones started to rise and can't be stopped. Until...she twitched. He stopped it fully and sent them down again. He didn't take his hands off her.

Mai...it will kill me if something bad happens to you...You can't be on your own like that. He talked to her in his thoughts. He glanced at her lips. They were red. He thought of doing something to her while she's asleep. But he stopped himself by doing so. She moved again. Her eyelids were slowly opening. She was waking up.

His brilliant mind wasn't so brilliant anymore. He got confused on two options. To pretend to sleep or to hug her fully and let her know his awake as well. Ugh! Damn this idiot...Why does she have to wake up? He thought. She was making this sound of like being annoyed.

Her eyes now fully opened. She stared at the semi darkness which revealed to her someone's body. He shut his eyes. She felt being hugged. But she didn't know who. Her heartbeat raised and she turned red as she came upon a face so familiar. The face of the person who laid on the bed a while ago. The face of the person she got worried to. The face of her Boss!Naru!

Bou-san!! I'll get you for this...she squealed in her mind.

She came face to face with him now. Her face looking up to him. Their lips mili-inches away. As she realised the situation she was in she turned redder than a tomato.

I can't take it much longer!!His mind squeaked to respond the ever flaming desire of his heart. I can't...besides I shouldn't!He kept repeating.To this position, she can't sleep anymore and he can feel it. Her face returned to its normal color,well, not fully.

N-naru...so close...she stuttered even at her thoughts. She turned pinkish as she stared at his lips...BAD MAI! she scolded herself as her desire grew stronger.

"He wouldn't care anyway." she sighed. He heard what she have said. He smirked in the semi-darkness. He felt so guilty all of a sudden. Damn this idiot...She makes me feel so jelly inside....He tried to stop what he feels but he can't. It was stronger than him.

"Who wouldn't care?" he whispered by her right ears. It sent shivers down her spine. There he went. Waking up and making her feel bad again. His inner self giggled at the thought of her.

"N-naru?..." she actually said it more as a statement than a question.

"Me?" he said with an evil grin as he brought her face closer to his. She turned red. He can't control his hormones anymore. Ugh!...Baka...he thought for the last moment. You made me do it again!...he refered to his hormones.

"Ne, N-N-Naru?Uh.." she didn't know what to answer. They faces came about. He lifted her upwards so they were face leveled. Their foreheads touching each others and they could feel each others breathing. Naru's right hand reached for her cheeks while going through her hair. He caressed her left cheek while Mai's left hand slithered to his shoulders. They were like eternity being in that position. Gosh...He's so hot!her inner self tell her over and over again. She then imagined herself slapping her own face.

He stopped as he noticed her bandaged arm and palm. He moved a few inches away from her face to get a clearer view at her. He didn't understood what he felt as he clasp her wounded hand. He felt some sort of rage or was it worriedness.

"What happened Mai?" he asked controlling his voice not to sound harsh to her. But he felt so worried.

"I don't want to talk about it Naru." she said plainly as she didn't detect his mood.

"What happened Mai?" his voice sounded hard than ever. One more wrong answer from her and he'll be talking in monotone.

"N-Naru...I-i...I don't know what happened." she answered, her thraot drying up ang her eyes became teary. She's apparently traumatised.

"Trust me Mai.." he softens as her eyes came visible in the semi-darkness. Well, she ended up bursting in tears as she narrates the past event.

Flashback...

She was heading for the rose bush. As she did so, she noticed rustling by her left.

"W-what could it be?" she asked herself.

She was like hypnotised because the next thing she knew, she was strangled by the rose bush. She didn't even remember how she got so clse to the bush. The thorns cuts through her flesh. She worked hard to break free as the stingy-feeling pain starts to work on her. She screamed but she thought no one heard her. So, she got hold of a stationed thorn bush and cut her self free from the rose bush.

But her nightmare didn't stop there. Two unearthly dogs leaped into the air. She screamed in terror. Her blood dripped to the ground. The dogs smelled her! Her blood!!...She raced herself. She counted her percentage of living into the world. She counted her time by and by just to prevent herself from fainting. She stumbled into a rock. The dogs were nearing. She couldn't bear it anymore, she screamed again. She didn't know how many times she screamed. How many times she called for him.

All she remembered was that she ran into the abandoned building site. Then, Naru came and used his PK. She witnessed the battle between the dogs and him. Then he collapsed to the ground after he fried the dogs.

End of Flashback

He wiped her tears. She gave a small smile. He smiled himself!! The smile which he only gives to Mai, his special smile.

"Naru?!" she tried to ask but to awkward to do so.

"Hmmm?" he sounded to let her know he's listening as he now let go of her and stared at the ceiling. Staring as if trying to think clearly.

"I remembered..." she started.

"What's that?" he asked.

"Someone whispered to me..." she said her smile widens. He remebered as well.

"I wasn't totally out of control of myself that whole time...I felt like I was guided." she paused trying to remember. He glanced at her as she said those words.

"Because...I the WHOLE forest was identical, the trees were the same and if I had stayed there and didn't find the site...then maybe I got lost and got eaten by them. But I wasn't!" she exclaimed.

"Someone whispered the way!!" she ended.

"I felt the same way too, Mai." he said under his breath. But why do you have to make me feel this way Mai?! Why?!...Of all people...He questioned his doubtful mind...I don't want to lose someone important and special again...he sadly thought. He was back into his masked face when he let go of her. What are you really to me , Mai?

Outside the room, the little girl stood looking at the door. It was like she could see what was inside, the moment she smiled.

"Naru-nii, take care of her. It would be much more dangerous if you don't..." she silently spoke.

"But tonight you're ALL free from unearthly troubles..." she smiled a genuine smile.

"Only for tonight." she added with much sorrow as her smile faded.

"But I'll answer you, Naru-nii..I'll answer your doubts." her cheerful face came again.

She whispered something...

Tonight...

There's a piece of you inside my heart...

That runs too deep to describe...

"That is exactly what you feel about her. She's something that you can't describe... because her value is so great" she said like she was talking to him face to face. As if he was near enough to have heard. Then, she left.

But he DID hear it!! For him, it was so loud. It was so near. It was clear. Those phrases were heart throbbing and he can't stop them from flowing to his heart and brain.

There's a piece of you inside my heart...

That runs too deep to describe...

He repeated in his thoughts, for Mai!

Again, there was silence. Until...


Until what?! What could have broken the silence that conquered the room? In the next chappy, you'll find out...And all their questions will be answered...Well, maybe not all...Maybe some. What do you think the girls motives are? Who could that person orthing that wanted to kill Mai? Are the others involved too? Hmmm...Maybe?!

I also remembered...They were locked from the outside! Will they ever get out?!

Maybe you'll find out if you read the next chap...heheh! Have fun.
