* MAI POV *
It was now just me and Madoka sat in the sitting area of SPR. Luella and Martin Davis were talking to Naru in his office and I could hear Lin's soft tapping that told me he was once again on his laptop. Everyone else had left but not before hugging me and telling me that they would see me tomorrow.
Masako had stayed half an hour longer then the rest so she could catch up with me. It was good seeing them all, a little overwhelming but good all the same. She had apologised for not being able to see me for three weeks because of a tour she was doing. I shrugged of her apology and told her to stay thinking of her wedding and forget about me. I could tell she was reluctant to agree and that even once she'd agreed she would still think of me.
I smiled as she left and turned to Madoka "what are they doing in that office?"
Madoka looked at Naru's office before looking at me "I'm not sure, most probably scolding him for not keeping in contact so much". She shrugged it off with a little laugh but I didn't laugh I just watched her. She seemed to become uncomfortable under my gaze as she looked at Lin's office door.
"You're keeping something from me?" I glared at her and she seemed to become nervous.
She glanced around again for a way to escape and jumped up "oh I think I heard Koujo-san calling me". I glared at her back as she escaped through to his office but smiled a little bit that they were so close. It was a sad smile though. All my smiles now seemed forced or half hearted.
I new I had changed and that no one liked it but I couldn't do anything about it. I didn't want to change but whatever that violet eyed man had done to me had made me feel different.
I looked at both closed office doors before standing up with a wince and walking around the sitting area. I couldn't help but think about that night.
The way I couldn't move.
The way his eyes were full of lust as his fingers slid across my skin. I shuddered at remembering the burning sensation my hand instinctively went to my thigh where the needle had pierced.
That's when I froze from where I had been walking.
Needle . . .
Needle . . .
Needle!
What the hell was in that needle!
I frowned and bit my lip before looking out the window I realised I had stopped in front of.
I gasped as I saw the shadow again in the alley way over the road. My eyes narrowed as I looked at him. I was positive it was a he and my instincts had never been wrong.
Then suddenly there was a flash and I stumbled back in shock. What had flashed? It had looked like a camera flash.
That's when my paranoia stepped in and I stumbled back until I tripped over something and fell on the floor with a yelp. I kept staring at the window as I heard hurried footsteps rush to my side.
"Mai!"
I shook my head slightly and looked at Madoka who had an arm around my shoulders.
"I . . . I'm fine, sorry just startled" my voice came out shakier then normal and I notice the look that she sent Lin who knelt down in front of me.
"What did you see Mai-san?" I finally pealed my eyes away from the window to look at him. I blinked a few times at him then looked back at the window and pointed.
"There was someone in the alley way over the road." Lin looked up at Naru who was stood to the side and they both went to the window to look out. Their eyes narrowed so I knew that he was still there.
I frowned and looked up at Naru's parents who both grabbed a hand to help me up "he took a picture". My voice was so quiet but form the way they reacted you would have thought I had shouted. They all froze and stared at me before looking out the window again.
Without saying a word Naru, Lin and Martin were out the door and hurrying down the stairs before I had even realised they had moved.
I watched Madoka as she bit her lip in worry and Luella who was staring at the window, the three of us walked up to the window hesitantly.
We watched as all three guys started running across the road only to shout in frustration when the shadow disappeared. It started running down the alley way and I presumed it got away as they came back ten minutes later, all red faced with anger.
My eyebrows knit together in frustration as I thought.
Was that the violet eyed man or one of his masked people? If so, then they new where I was and that scared me more then anything else.
I chewed the inside of my cheek and tears came to my eyes as I thought of what he might do the second time round. I knew he would find me and follow through with his threat but I had some how thought I had more time.
As a tear slid down my cheek I felt arms pull me slowly towards a chair. I sat down without really realising it and stared at the floor.
All I knew was that he was coming for me. I wouldn't be able to escape but I may be putting everyone else in danger.
I took a deep breath before looking up "how did he find me so soon?"
Everyone else paused in the quiet arguing they had been doing with each other to look at me.
More tears slowly rolled down my cheeks and all of the gazes softened. Naru sighed and ran his hand through his hair. I noticed he seemed to do that a lot lately.
He looked at everyone else "get your things we're going home now, I want to make sure it's safe for the night". Everyone nodded in agreement and hurriedly ran off to do their own things. Naru walked up to me and gently grabbed my hand, he pulled me to his office and made me sit on the coach in the corner of his room.
I sat there and watched as he neatened the work he must have been doing and grabbed his jacket. I blushed as I watched the jacket gently slide over his arms thinking how it would be feel I was stroking his skin. I glanced away and tried to hide my blush as he hurriedly packed a few files into a bag and walked up to me.
When we left the office he had grabbed my hand again. He helped me with my coat and signalled to the others that we were done. Everyone was quiet as they came to meet us.
I suddenly realised how they were all surrounding me so I was in the middle of them all. I felt safe that way and sighed in content as Lin led us all to the black SPR van.
The ride to Naru and Lin's home seemed to go past quickly. We were soon exiting from the van and I paused to scan my surroundings. No more shadows around here so I slightly relaxed as we entered a large building.
We took the elevator to the third floor and came out into a small square hallway. There was a table on each side, both had a pot full of flowers on them. I scanned the area and smiled at the flowers. Neither Lin nor Naru really seemed the type to like flowers. There was a brown door stood on the wall in the middle of the tables.
Lin went up to the door and opened it with a key. The place was dark as we all entered. There were no lights on until everyone seemed to walk off and turn on a light switch. I entered just before Naru who closed the door with a soft click that still managed to make me jump.
I heard clicks coming from behind me and presumed that Naru was locking the door. They were defiantly taking precautions this time and that made me feel happy and safe.
I new I was stood there in shock as I took in the size of the place. Considering they both seemed to stay at work 24/7 I thought this place must go to waste. It also looked very expensive which shouldn't have surprised me since the Davis family were rich.
I suddenly realised how tired I was let out a huge yawn which I covered with the back of my hand. I felt some one nudge me and I looked sleepily behind to see Naru pushing me into the apartment.
Everyone came back to the living room as we entered and smiled. I smiled back half heartedly before I yawned again. Madoka and Luella smiled gently and Madoka walked up to me.
"Come on love, you can hardly stand. Let's get you to bed" she gently pulled me to a door that led to a hallway and I glanced back to see everyone watching us leave. I noticed Naru was watching us with a worried expression on his face and I blushed before looking back to the floor in front of me.
I was towed to a room that had a small lamp lighting up the room. It was a nice glow instead of the usual brightness of bulbs though and it seemed to make me even sleepier. When I saw the double bed I nearly ran to it and collapsed on it but stopped myself as I noticed Madoka searching through my bag.
"Where are your pyjamas? Oh! Hah hah! Found them" she turned around with a big smile on her face that seemed to turn all motherly when she noticed that I was about to collapse from exhaustion.
Once she had helped me change she tucked me into bed and kissed my forehead, I couldn't help but smile and sigh. My eyes had closed and before I new it, I was asleep.
When I reopened my eyes I was surrounded by blackness. I groaned and rubbed my eyes feeling like I was about to cry in frustration. Couldn't I ever get a break?
I pushed myself up from the floor with a wince. Stupid dreams! I even have to be in pain there as well.
A hand on my shoulder made me turn around with a scream only to let out a sigh when I realised it was Gene.
I through my arms around him and he held me close. I shivered and cried while he stroked my hair and spoke comforting words to me.
I was glad he was with me in these dreams "is there something you have to show me?" I glanced up at him in worry. I didn't really want to see anything right now.
He shook his head and smiled "no. not really. I just wanted to check on you. I know you've been having nightmares and there's nothing I can do about that." He glanced down at the floor with sad eyes.
I felt a sudden urge to comfort him "it's ok Gene, those kind of dreams can't hurt me at least not physically." I smiled at him and he relaxed.
"I know, I just wish I could do something so you didn't have to relive that night over and over. I . . . I truly am sorry that I couldn't get your spirit out of your body so you didn't have to go through that." I knew he would always feel guilty and it frustrated and saddened me that nothing I said would make him feel any different.
I sighed and looked up at him searching his eyes "Gene! You have to stop because you feeling guilty is making me feel worse. It wasn't your fault, neither you nor Naru can save me every time I'm in trouble." I scolded him quietly.
He closed his eyes before taking a deep breath then reopened them with a little smile gracing his lips. I smiled in return glad that he at least felt a little better. Then I sighed "I truly don't have to see anything?"
He shook his head and I relaxed even more "thank the gods."
I could feel myself getting sleepier and Gene smiled gently at me "go back to sleep, if you don't you'll just feel more tired". I frowned and nodded at him before my eyes drooped shut and I fell into a proper sleep, although sleeping wasn't much better.
Sooooooo ? What did you all think?
