Mai's POV…

I woke up inside a black… I don't know, it's some sort of space but all I see is black. I heard footsteps coming but I don't from where. When I turned around, I saw Naru. He looked different, younger than what he actually looks like when I'm awake, if I'm dreaming right now that is. He held his hand out and I gladly took it. I know he's going to show me something that will help with the case, I know it, my heart tells me so. We kept walking and walking until I saw a light up ahead. When we got there, I found myself standing in front of a hut. It was medium sized, big enough for a family. "What's going on?" I asked Naru. "Just watch," he said and so I did.

A woman came out from the hut, I remembered her from my last dream. Her name was Kinuye. She looked older from the last time I saw her and her stomach is bigger. "She's pregnant?" I asked. I looked at Naru and he nodded. I saw the woman smiling and waving at someone from the woods, I followed her gaze and found the man from my previous dream as well. "Kawanari…" I whispered. He went to her and gave her a smell peck on the lips and rubbed her belly. "How's farming?" Kinuye asked. "Oh, it's great! Who knew the land near the valley was this fertile" the man answered. They entered the hut together and I didn't know what happened after that because Naru didn't let me go in. We waited for a couple of minutes outside when a group of people, not just people, they look like warriors coming out from the woods. "Naru… what are they going to do? They're not going to kill them are they?" I asked, hoping that the couple will be safe. He didn't answer. I watched as the warriors attacked the house, I heard Kinuye screaming and Kawanari telling her to run.

The scene changed and I found myself by the hot spring, the same hot spring that Ayako and I were at the last time I remembered. Kinuye came out of the woods, bleeding. She was running for her life and for her baby's life as well. I heard a couple of men behind her and I knew she heard them too when I saw her face panicked. She tripped on a small rock, landing on her belly. She cried in pain. I wanted to help her but Naru held me back. "There's nothing you can do, Mai" he told me. Two men came out of the woods and saw Kinuye on the ground, she was bleeding, a miscarriage most likely. She was shaking when the two men, who looked like they were in their forties, came on her side. One of them pounced at her and ripped her clothes away. "Stop! Please… stop!" she screamed. The man didn't stop. The next thing I saw was the man entering her private part. I looked away because I couldn't help watching her suffer. Tears run down from my eyes as I heard her calling out for help. Naru hugged me, shielding me away from the horrible sight as I cried on his chest.

When I heard nothing, I turned around, and the scene in front me broke my heart. Kinuye was on the ground, naked. Her hands were above her head, her eye were empty. There was blood on the ground just between her thighs and she wasn't moving. The two men carried her and dumped her on the hot spring, one of them jumped after her and held her head under the water. "No!" I cried. It was a futile cry since I know that there's nothing I can do. Naru tugged at me and said, "It's time to wake up, I'll see you later."

Normal POV…

Mai woke up with tears on her cheeks. She tried to get up from the bed but found herself trapped under… 'An arm?' she thought. She looked up and saw her boss' pale face, sleeping soundly. 'He looks so peaceful and angelic' she thought. She tried to move again but this time Naru pulled her closer, making her use his chest as a pillow. She can hear Naru's steady breath and heartbeat. 'He's still sleeping? What time is it?' Mai tried looking around but found it difficult. When she heard someone rustling from the other side of the door, she pretended to sleep.

"They're still sleeping, Mo-" Ayako was shocked when she opened the door and saw the two sleeping too close to each other. Mai, using Naru's chest as a pillow, while Naru was using Mai as a body pillow. "Give me your phone" Mai heard Ayako whispered to her Bou-san. Ayako giggled when she took the picture knowing that Mai would blush when she sees it. Without another word, the two adults left to tell the others that Naru and Mai were still sleeping.

Mai heard Naru sighed and snuggled closer to her, making her blush and speed up her heartbeat. She almost yelped when Naru moved his hand just inches above her butt. She was now a little loose so she tried to sit up. When she managed to sit up, Naru's hand was just an inch from her womanhood. 'If I could kill him, I will, but he signs my paycheck' Mai thought. When she moved again, Naru forcefully pulled her towards him, making her land on top of him. Her eyes widened when she saw that she was just inches from kissing him and that he was wide awake. She stared at his beautiful eyes as he stared at hers. Neither of them moved because 1) they both like their position or 2) they're afraid that one move will end up making them kiss each other. Mai was about to move but the door opened and both her and Naru looked towards it. By the door was the whole SPR team with shocked faces. Lin tried to mask his face but it was obvious. "I think we interrupted something" Yasuhara started. "Yes, I think we did, we'll give you… 20 minutes" Bou-san said with a giggle. "Make than an hour, who knows, they might need more time" Yasu told them. Before anyone could add another sentence, a book was thrown just above their heads, making them run away for their lives. Mai sat up, straddling Naru, while he was leaning on the headboard. "It's too risky for you to use PK" Mai warned him. "That wasn't- How did you know?" Naru asked, surprised. Mai thought about for a while before answering, "I don't know, I just know it?" she said. Mai then realized their position and blushed deep red. "I… I'm going to the bathroom" she said quickly and got off of him. When Mai was inside the bathroom, Naru smiled and shook his head. He liked the idea of waking up and finding her on top of him. 'Maybe things will work out, even without her memory' he thought. He shook his head and got out of bed and waited for Mai to finish. 'This is going to be a long day' he thought when he remembered the looks that everyone gave them. He sighed again and another smile as he thought about Mai's face inches away from him. 'Work first. Work first' he mentally told himself. When he was about to knock on the bathroom door for Mai to hurry up, he heard her scream. Without another word, he kicked the door open and found Mai…


Oh no! What happened to Mai?
