Epilogue

Mai sat in a chair at the police station, with her arms wrapped around her legs as she stared at the ground. She was waiting for them to finish interrogating Naru so that they could go home. Mai heard a noise and looked up to find them rolling a cart with a black body bag laid on the top across the floor and into another room down the hall. She shuttered at the thought of who that was and what had happened to her.

"Mai-shan?" asked a little voice. Mai looked down to find a little boy staring up at her. "You are Mai-shan right?"

"Oh, um…yes." Mai said as her legs dropped to the floor. "May I ask what you name is?"

"Mori!" The boy said happily. Mai felt her heart stop. Wasn't that the name of the boy who…. Mai's thought process drifted as she stared at the little boy happy face. He then laughed a little and grabbed her hand. "Dwon't be sad! Mommy will come back soon! Then we can all be friends!" he said innocently.

Mai didn't know what to say, she couldn't tell him that his mom wasn't coming back.

"Okay." Mai said as she smiled at him. She didn't want to lie, but she knew it was better if the police explained to this little boy about everything that had happened.

Mori giggled to himself as he climbed into the chair next to him. "He was wight! You are nice!" he said as he leaned his head against Mai's arm.

"Who was right?" Mai asked, but the boy was already falling asleep. "Hey, you can't sleep here." Mai said, trying to wake him up, but he wouldn't move. "Damn," Mai said looking around. She just hoped that Naru took his time explaining everything to them, because there was no way she was going to be able to escape without waking him up.

Mai sighed to herself as she leaned back in her chair, thinking about earlier.

"Just because we didn't like each other or could hardly stand one another, doesn't mean that we didn't mean we didn't have feelings. We were married for six years, not to mention we have a kid. Of course we have some feelings for each other."

If that were true, then didn't they care at all about Mori? Did they even considered what they were doing could hurt him? Mai thought to herself as she looked down at the sleeping boy next to her.

"Mommy" It was barely auditable, but Mai heard it none the less.

"Not like you and the boy, but there was something there."

Then why put your child through all of this? Why not just take him and run?

"Mai, ready to go?" asked Naru as the door to her right opened, pulling her from her train of thoughts.

"Yes." Mai said as she stood up without thinking. Then she remembered that there was a boy sleeping on her and she quickly turned around to catch Miro, but he had already hit the seat.

"Oww!" Mori yelled as he opened his eyes. Mai covered her mouth with her hands as she tried to hide her amusement. The way he had said that and looked up at her was just too adorable for her. "Why would you do that?" Mori asked, and then he noticed Naru standing behind Mai. "Miswter!" He yelled.

Mai looked up at Naru behind her and saw an annoyed look on his face.

"What?" He asked.

"Your swpecial friend is really pwretty!" Mori said felt her face go red as he said this, and she refused to look back at Naru.

"Mai, ready to go?" Naru asked, trying to pretend not to hear that. "Lin is waiting for us outside."

"Yea." Mai said, still refusing to look at him. "Bye Mori. I guess we will see you around." Mai said.

"You're weaving me?" he asked, tears coming to his eyes. Mai paused and looked at him, not sure what to do.

"Well….I….ah…" Mai started, but couldn't finish. "Naru."

"Hmm?" he asked, not really paying attention. She nodded her head towards Mori and he sighed. "Look, you are going to be-"

"Shibuya." said a voice. Naru turned to see the Detective walking over. "All of the paperwork has been filed and the case is finally closed, so you are free to go home once you sign some release papers."

"Alright, come on Mai. Let's go, its getting late."

"What will happen to Mori?" Mai asked. Detective Masahiko and Naru both stopped to look at her. Masahiko was a little shocked by the question, but answered.

"Well, he will probably go to a new home, if we can find one. If not there are some orphanages around that I'm sure will take him."

"What's an owphangens?" Mori asked, trying to pronounce the word.

"It's a temporary home where a child, like you, go when they have some trouble with their parents." Naru explained without thinking. Tears spilled over Mori's eyes as he jumped off the chair and screamed "No! I don't have anywee problems with mommy and daddy! You'll swee! They will be hwere anywee minute now!"

"Mori…" Mai said. "Your mom and dad are-"

"No! You are all lywing!" He screamed at her. "I want my mommy!"

"Are you happy now!" Mai yelled at Naru as she walked over to Mori. She wrapped her arms around him and he began to cry.

"It's none of our business what happens to him" Naru said in a matter-of-fact voice. Mai just glared at him.

"I wanna go home wih my swpecial friend …" Mori said suddenly. Mai pulled back, not sure what he was talking about. Mori looked up at her with sad eyes.

"No." Naru said harshly. "Let's go Mai."

"But Naru-" Mai said.

"No Mai." Naru said turning to her. "He's not a pet you can just adopt."

"Well, really, we don't have any records of him, since technically Catholic Priests can't get married and have children, so if he were to walk out with you, no one would notice." The Detective explained. He looked at Naru and saw the look he was giving him. "Coming!" The Detective yelled to no one as he quickly walked away.

"Mai, let's go. Lin is waiting and I think we made him wait long enough."

"Okay." Mai said. She stood up and grabbed Mori's hand. "Come one, let's go."

"He's not coming." Naru said. Mai stopped.

"Why not?" Mai asked. "Look at him, he's soo cute!"

"Maybe because you can't just walk out of the police station with a child." Naru explained.

"But no one is looking." Mai said happily. Naru glared at her and she quickly said. "I can take care of him! I mean, he needs a home and you can't tell me you can look at this face and just walk away!"

Naru looked down at the boy for a moment before turning and walking away, proving his point.

"Why is Miswter being mean?" Mori asked, looking up at Mai. Mai crouched down and whispered.

"Because he doesn't want to show how much he cares about you."

"What about you?" Mori asked. "Doesn't he cware about you?"

"Well…" Mai said as she looked up at the Naru who was signing the release papers at the counter a few feet away. "It's complicated."

"I know!" Mori said before running over to Naru. Mai watched as he tugged on Naru's pants. Naru looked down and Mori waved his hand, trying to get Naru closer. Naru sighed and crouched down and put his ear next to Mori's mouth as he whispered something to him.

"Mai!" Naru suddenly yelled. Mai jumped at the tone in his voice. "Stop telling him bad things!"

Hey everyone! This is the last chapter of Run Here My Dear! It makes me sad that it has to end, but I am happy cause then I can start my new one! Yeah! Anyway, I had a different ending originally but zerocchi told me about this one, and I have to say, I liked it much more better. I know, I'm weird.

Also, last night, I was editing a story for my sissy (whitephoenix18 if you don't know, but I talk/pick on her so much, I think most of you know by now) and a bunch of random thoughts popped in my head. So, we have to decided to pick random stories that we have written (or chapters from long stories) and re-write them and put our thoughts in. If you have no idea what I am talking about, the only example I can think of is whitephoenix108 profile (I destroyed that by the way), or...well below : (Story: "My Sky" by whitephoenix18 (part of it anyway) Setting: They had just finished having dinner with Martin and Luella)

"That went well." Mai's voice said breaking the silence "But I feel kind of bad that Martin and Luella paid the entire bill…" her voice trailing off. (morningnight: the only reason they paid the entire bill is because you are practically broke with what Naru pays you) Naru turned his head to her.

"Don't be… beside I don't think we had a choice in the matter anyway." Mai smiled at this.

"You're probably right." (morningnight: of course he is right...he is Naru!)

"I know I'm right." (- see! see! What did I tell you! :morningnight) Mai started to giggle and Naru just smiled at her. Then looking her over, he found her to be stunning tonight in her new blue dress. But what stood out the most was the silver necklace that he got her for her birthday.

"You look amazing." Naru whispered in her ear. (morningnight: Finally! The words we all wanted to hear!) Mai, blushing, turned her head anyway from him. Naru just smiled.

Once again falling back into silence they continued on when Mai noticed that they were passing a small park. Pulling away from him she ran across the street to the park. (morningnight: We do a lot of one-shots in the park, don't we?) Naru, confused at what she was doing, ran after her. Looking around he searched for Mai before finding her in the field.

Standing there was Mai looking up at the sky, her shoes in her hand and her skin glowing in the moonlight. Naru just watched her for moment, admiring the view. Then slowly he walked over to her.

Mai heard Naru coming so looking at him she smiled.

"Naru, what do you think of the stars?" (morningnight: um...stars?) Not sure of what she was asking he replied honestly. "There nice to look at."(morningnight:Duh! They are stars! If they weren't pretty to look at, no one would look at them!) Mai sighed then looking back up at the sky she said...

The only difference is whitephoenix18 will have comments but she is absent at the time and does not know I am making fun of her story... so yea, if there is a one-shot or a certain chapter you want us to make fun of, just PM me or something.
