Chapter 11

Naru woke up the next day and walked to the living room. No one was down there. He felt a chill as he sat down, he couldn't keep from shaking. His body hurt when he moved, he even tried laying down. He drifted in and out of sleep so much he lost track of time. He woke up after about an hour later and checked the clock. He walked up stairs to check on Mai to find Lin and Madoka checking her temperature.

" What's wrong?" Naru asked

" Lin woke up to the sound of someone coughing. He found Mai in the bathroom floor. She collapsed after suffering from a dizzy spell. We're surprised you didn't hear her. She was coughing pretty loud." Madoka said.

"The team went to town to find out information on the doctor and Hiroshi's relationship." Lin added

"How high is her fever?" Naru asked

"103.7 but it felt worse earlier, how do you feel, do you feel chilled or anything" Madoka asked

" only a little" Naru said. Madoka took his tempurature.

" yours isn't that high. 99.3" Madoka said.

The team could be heard coming in from upstairs. From the sound of it Mai's co-worker and teacher, Aya, was with them. They came up stairs and sure enough Aya walked in the door.

"It's not true right." She asked Naru

"Depends on what you are talking about" Naru responded

"Mai's not pregnant is she. It's all just a lie right."

"unfortunately no. she is pregnant"

The whole SPR team stared at Naru in disbelief.

"Please Naru tell me it isn't yours" Madoka protested

" sorry Madoka, but I can't" he said staring at the floor

"Naru how could you do that. Your parents won't be happy with this" Lin said

After that everyone dispersed through out the house. Lin and madoka went in the kitchen to talk to Aya. Bou-san and Ayako went to bed...together. John sat with Masako, who was steaming with anger in the living room, Yasuhara was watching the monitors in the living room, and Naru and Mai were both asleep upstairs.

" Aya what can you tell us about Hiroshi." Lin asked

"What is there to tell he's a really awesome guy. He's just having trouble right now. He came to me the other day asking for sex and ways to cheat on Mai. He wanted to use me and I foolishly said yes I was really confused so I asked why and he said she had cheated on him and got pregnant." Aya said

" has he reacted like this before to anything else"

"no this is the first, she had made out with a guy once in class but he forgave her after she apologized"

"so do you believe he is possessed or under emotional distress"

"Without a doubt"

The next morning Naru woke up to Mai walking back into the room. Naru got up and walked ver to her as she sat down on the bed.

"Yes Naru?" she said

Naru felt her forehead it felt only slightly warm

" Your temperature went down." He said to her

"Yea Madoka said its down to 99.7 now and she checked yours while you were asleep and she said your fever is gone."

" good. Now get some rest and maybe the fever will go all the way down."

"Naru wait."

"Yes Mai, what it is"

"I..uhh... meant to tell you something. Thanks for defending me against Hiroshi."

Naru turned to head out the door of the room.

"Wait Naru. I... I wasn't done"

"mai I don't have time for this"

"I'm sorry for leaving. I shouldn't have done it. And I... I...think... I..."

"Spit it out Mai"

"Sorry it's just hard to say"

"what is so hard to say"

"...I...I love you."

Silence filled the room

"Get some rest Mai, you're not thinking straight" was all naru said before walking out of the room.

When he closed the door he ran into Madoka.

"Did I hear what she said right." he asked her

"You are an idiot. You should have said it back." she said to him and left.

Naru then hit himself in the head "Baka" he said to himself.

As he walked down stairs he heard Mai's door open, then the sounds of foot steps the the back door closing. He figure she wanted some air and decided to let her be till a scream rang through the air

It was Mai's
