Thank you guys for reading this story, I never thought it would get as much as attention as it has. Also, I don't think that this is my best work but this chapter kept me up all night so i just had to write it. But in any case, ENJOY :)
YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT! You have a fiancée now…well, soon. And you're getting drunk and visiting Mai! Wait… did you just call her Baby?! THAT IS NOT ON! Naru's subconscious yelled at him. "MONK! Finally, I thought you might have fallen asleep" Mai said and sighed a sigh of relief. Why's Monk here? "OH MY GOD! You weren't joking!" Monk laughed, clapping his hands in amusement. "Stop acting like a retarded seal, and help me!" Mai shouted. "Ok, ok. Gezz" Monk surrendered, smirking. Naru felt himself being lifted off the floor and being carried into Mai's apartment. Wack! Stupid door! "Careful beautiful, you don't want to ruin my face" Naru slurred, rubbing his now sore cheek with his shoulder. CRAP! Stop saying that! His subconscious screamed at him "Did he just call you beautiful?!" Monk bellowed, laughing. Well, I don't have long to tell her these things, might as well tell her. Naru told his subconscious. "Yes he did, and has been this whole time he's been here" Mai said through gritted teeth. They laid Naru on the couch carefully, and Mai took the beer bottle off Naru. Your funeral. When your mother finds out, she'll dismember you. His subconscious answered. "You're the prettiest girl I have ever seen, Mai" Naru said trying to sound as serious as he could. That was it for Monk; he fell on the floor and laughed his arse off. "Gezz, what have you been drinking!" he cried out. Mai looked down at Naru and all the hate left her face, replaced by a bright blush. Your eyes are like chocolate. Naru thought Ok; yeah you're dead…and really wasted Naru's subconscious indicated. "You're just drunk, you wouldn't say that if you were sober" Mai whispered, shaking her head. Naru frowned but even though he was ubber drunk, he decided to take his subconscious advice and keep his mouth shut I'll just end up hurting you and myself if I keep talking Naru thought. Monk stopped laughing after a while and sat up smiling. "Ok well if that was it Mai, I should go" Monk smirked. "You're leaving me with him!" Mai shouted. Monk smiled and nodded, as he headed for the door. "He won't be any trouble, just keep a bucket near the couch for when he wakes up" with that Monk closed the door after him. Mai had a nauseated look on her face as she turned to Naru. "Well, it looks like you are sleeping here. I'll be back with that bucket" Mai said, distracted. Penny for your thoughts? Please tell me what you were thinking. Mai soon returned with a green bucket and a blanket. "I thought you might get a bit cold" Mai said holding up the black blanket. I'll look like a ninja! Naru immediately regretted that thought. Did you honestly just think that? His subconscious asked. As Mai pulled the blanket over Naru, she touched his cheek, sending a warm shiver down his spine. Ok. That was not the alcohol. Mai pulled her hand back and her eyes widened. "I wish you weren't drunk Naru. Then I would know you weren't lying" Mai said and turned to walk down the hall. Naru grabbed her hand, spun her around and stared into her brown eyes. "I don't lie" Naru said, not a hint of his before drunkenness. Mai blushed at Naru's comment. I would never lie to you... Naru pulled on Mai's hand, making Mai lean in close. "Naru, you're drunk. We'll talk about this in the morning" Mai said, not even convincing herself.
What is Naru doing, playing with my heart like this? Mai questioned. She looked down into his eyes and saw love. It's the beer….it has to be. "Mai…I…-"Naru was interrupted by the phone. Damn you phone! Mai stood up and answered the offensive phone. "What?!" Mai snapped. "I'm sorry for waking you Mai, but Kazuya is missing" Lin tried to say all serious, but failed epically. "You didn't wake me and Naru isn't missing" Mai said. His normal personality maybe, but he is not lost. "WHAT! YOU FOUND HIM!" Lin shouted with a hint of glee. Mai looked down at a now passed out Naru. And I was about to kiss you, Mai shook her head. "Calm down Lin. Yes I have him; he is passed out, drunk, on my couch" Mai sighed. There was a coughing, drowning sound before Lin said "You're sure he is drunk?" utter disbelief filled his voice. Yes, and I might be a little tipsy myself. Gezz, what were you thinking? Mai thought, still thinking about almost kissing Naru. "Well he was drinking beer and he reeks of alcohol, so you tell me" Mai said annoyed with Lin's question. "OK Mai, I get it, he is drunk. It's just…he never gets drunk" Lin laughed. I think I may be dreaming. Drunken Naru, devilish smile from said person and now a laughing Lin. This would never happen in real life. "Well, ok. I think I'll leave him with you for now. I'll be there at six to pick him up" Lin said after a while. Of course you leave him with me… "Um…sure. See you then, Lin" Mai said, her eyelids drooping. " Get some sleep Mai" Lin said before hanging up. Ah! Finally!Sleep! Mai put the phone down and looked at Naru. I wonder if you felt that electricity, because I sure did. Mai yawned and looked at the time. Gezz, 3:20. Hmm…sleep sounds good.
I can't believe Naru got drunk. I mean yes, I would be furious at my mother and get drunk too, but that is just not Naru's styleLin thought sipping his coffee while driving to Mai's. Lin's eyes widen as he let his mind wonder. Please tell me he didn't tell her that he loves her. Oh god, his mother would kill him if did and I don't think my shiki are strong enough to protect him. Lin was the only one who knew of Naru's adoration of Mai, and only because Lin had caught him crying at Mai's side one night at the hospital. How in the hell did I miss his obvious feelings for her?! Lin scowled at himself for the billionth time. He would never forget that look of complete loss that swam in Naru's eyes as he cried and cried, pleading for Mai to wake up. Lin had thought he was having a nightmare that night. God, I'm so sorry Naru. I know you want Mai, not that Elizabeth Bryer chick. "Please help me Lin….I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't stop crying, Lin. Help me" Naru's desperate words replayed in Lin's mind as he pulled up at Mai's. "Look at me, Kazuya. There's nothing wrong with you" Lin had replied. You just love her Lin recited as he climbed the stairs to her apartment.
Mai plodded down the hall to the kitchen and stopped at the couch. Oh…right. Mai looked down at Naru. He is sleeping on my couch! She smiled. Naru was curled up on the couch, his hair was in front of his face and he had a smirk plastered on his lips. Once Mai saw Naru's red lips, she couldn't take her eyes off them. She felt as if a magnet was drawing her closer to them. Stop! Mai sighed I wish I knew what all that was about last night. Mai looked up from his lips, to his now open eyes. They were pinned onto her and Mai saw that weird adoration in them. Knock! Knock! Knock! Naru shut his eyes and threw his hands onto his ears. "That'll be Lin" Mai whispered. Knock! Knock! Knock! "Stop it!" Naru yelled burring his head into the couch. Mai walked over to the door, still confused by that affection in Naru's eyes, and opened it for Lin. "Where is he?" Lin's first words to her were. Well good morning Lin, it's so nice to see you too. Mai opened the door wider and let Lin in. Lin stepped in and looked around so frantically he missed Naru.
"Lin, you don't need to knock so loudly" Naru said taking his hands off his ears.
