Chapter 8

Naru followed Mai to town the next day. Mai signed in at the front desk and sat down next to Naru. It took at least 25 min to wait for this doctor to see Mai. When he came in Naru thought his practices in medicine where off when he wouldn't do anything but talk to Mai and not examine her.

" Hello Mai." the doctor said when he came in the room

"Hi Doctor Takashi." Mai answered

" I hear you were in the hospital for that side wound of yours. You need to take better care of that."

" Don't worry they have me on a antibiotic."

" Good and make sure you take it. I don't want to have to yell at you for not taking that as well as your regular medicine."

" I've been taking that one everyday. Hiroshi calls to remind me."

"Good, now lets hear about your improvement on the dreams, and the PTSD."

" I'm better but that memory still haunts me. I don't think I will ever forget it."

"Well I agree with you on that. So hows your side."

"It's weird actually. When ever I have the dreams I wake up with the of being stabbed again. Like the knife was in again."

"That is strange. Well is it just feeling or does pain come too?"

"It pain as well. A lot of the time I wake up screaming and Hiroshi has to hold me to calm me down." When Mai said that anger and jealousy boiled up in Naru.

" Well try going to my friend in the city, Doctor Saya. She's a psychologist. She might be able to help you."

" Well I don't go into the city that often."

"Alright well I'll see in two weeks then"

After that Mai payed for the appointment and scheduled her next appointment. As they walked home Naru noticed it looked like it was gonna rain. He figured Mai didn't care. As they approached the park just before the school, where the community center is, Naru decided to ask the question that had been on his mind all day.

" Mai can I ask you something?" Naru saked

" What Naru?"

"What happened in that room on the last case. I found you barely alive. The ghost did some terrible things to you. What made you leave."

"it was the scariest moment of my life

~ flashback from Mai~

Mai fell to the floor in a room that looked like the basement. The ghost approached her and began cutting her every where. Hours passed and the torture continued. Mai hear people yelling her name. Her friends were coming for her. The ghost seemed to be angered by this. He picked up a knife from the table in the room and stabbed her in the side. Mai gasped for air as her visioned blackened. The last thing she saw before losing consciousness was Naru's face yelling something at her.

When she woke up in the hospital Naru wasn't there and would never be there. He didn't care for her was all she thought as she packed her things after she left the hospital and waked out of town and away from him.

~End of flashback from Mai~

"there's your reason Naru. You didn't care about me so why would you care if I left was all I thought."ai said after telling the story.

" Of I cared I just-" Naru started to say before Mai cut him off.

" didn't care enough to think saying away from me would hurt my feelings"

" Mai I'm sorry if that offended you but you have to understand that almost losing you was scary for me."

"But you don't get it. You did lose me I'm in love with someone else."

" Yea I know." Naru walked a few steps forward to get away from the source of his sadness. He missed Mai. He LOVED Mai, but he never could show it. He then heard Mai walk up to him.

" I did miss you though. I miss coming into work and hearing 'Mai, tea!' and having Lin laugh at me rolling my eyes cause it was only the millionth time you asked me." she said and they both laughed. It began to rain hard after that. Mai's cabin was close by so they rain there. They changed there clothing after getting inside. Mai put on pajamas, dried her hair with a towel and grabbed a blanket and brought it with her downstairs so she could sit on the couch and be warm. Naru after changing to pajamas and drying his hair as well sat next to her. The news said that the storms would turn into thunder and lighting storms around 7 o clock. It was about 7 and sure enough thunder could be heard outside. Mai had always been afraid of thunder storms so when she heard the thunder she Jumped and grabbed Naru's arm.

" Are you afraid Mai" He asked

" Yes."

" Don't worry I'm here to protect you."

Mai cuddled closer to him, feeling his warmth, the touch of his skin on hers, smell the scent of his cologne, hear the sound of his breath, and feel the beat of his heart. A feeling bloomed in her chest, stronger then when she was with Hiroshi. Without thinking, she looked up at Naru, pulled his faced to hers and kissed him. Naru pulled away looking confused but Mai only tried harder to bring him back. Naru finally gave in and let her kiss him again. With each kiss, the passion of them increased. Finally Naru laid Mai down on the couch and he took off his shirt. They undressed as quickly as possible and continued there passion for hours as a storm raged outside. Neither of them payed it any mind. After they were done they fell asleep in each others arm. Naru woke up first and glanced at the clock. Midnight, no one else was home. He picked up his clothes and woke up Mai.

" Hey Mai. Wake up. You should go to bed." he said to her. As Mai woke up she sat up and kissed him.

" How about we just go up stair and have some more fun." she said. This made Naru give a sly grin.

"who knows what I could have done to you already. I didn't use any protection before."

"Who cares. It felt good, it felt..right for us to be doing that."

" Well you certianly are naughty. What happened to Hiroshi, your Fiancee." when Naru said that she smirked

" Who's that" She said "how about we just be naughty together."

After saying that she grabbed her clothes and headed upstairs with Naru following her. They went into her room and that whole thing started all over again.
