Thanks to my reviewers: xSapphirexRosesxFanx, CodeHalo, BloodyXan-Xan, and Miko-Monk! Here is chapter 8!

I screamed as I felt the cold hands grip me on my legs. Whatever it was pulled oh me hard that I fell on the floor. I tried to stand up again but it started pulling me on the carpet. I tried crawling on the carpet to get some kind of hold but I could. I noticed that whatever it was, it was taking me under my bed. Oh please someone come and help me quick! I thought as I tried saving my own life. Then that's when I started to hear pounding of footsteps on the floor. Yay! Either Monk or John is coming to save me! But when the person kicked down the door I saw that it wasn't who I thought at all.

Keith. He quickly rushed to me, right when he grabbed my hands the hands that held me disappeared. I was so scared for my life I clung on to Keith. What in the hell was that? I don't even know what happen! Why do they always attack me! I started to cry as I thought to myself. Then Naru and Lin rushed into the room and so did everyone else. "Mai are you ok?" Monk asked as he pulled me away from Keith and sat me down on my bed.

"Mai, your legs!" Masako gasped as she pointed down at my legs. And sure enough there were handprints and some cuts on my legs that I didn't even know were there in the beginning.

"Ayako." Naru said as he looked at my legs. He still had a hint of sadness in his eyes. But His cold face covered it up really good. I guess I'm the only one who can tell the difference in his eyes. Probably cause you always stare at them Mai! Oh that's just great, first I get attack by a ghost and now I'm talking to myself!

Ayako quickly came back with her first aid kit. Everyone moved out of her way to let her through. "I need to look for more injures." She said as she looked at my leg. Nobody moved. "I said 'I need to look for more injures, meaning I need to remove clothing. And Mai is female…" I swear everyone in the room blushed bright red, except for Ayako, Masako, and Kino. I think I just might have one "reddest blush in the world!"

"Alright, you heard the mother, everyone out, out I said!" Kino said as she pushed all the guys out. I looked up to see Naru still staring at me. Thankfully Kino gave him a little shove that made him move backwards. He was just about to open his mouth and glare at her but he saw the look on my face because he looked a bit frighten and then sighed and walked out with the rest of the guys. I guess he just found out he's not the only one who can give a death glare. I smirked.

I swear I don't know how many times I've cried out or whimpered when Ayako and Masako tend to my cuts and wounds that were on my leg. They weren't that bad. They looked like they would heal in a few days of so. Thankfully I didn't have any other ones. Kino had to stay in front of the door with Koga to make sure that no one would come in when they heard me cry out in pain. When they were done Masako waited in the bathroom with me while I showered.

"So Mai…?" Masako said after a while of silence.

"Yeah, what's up?" I said through the shower doors.

"Who is this Keith guy?" Oh Masako, couldn't you have asked me a different question? I thought before I answered back.

"What about him?" She was quiet for a while. I had to open the shower door to see if she was alright.

"Who is he to you? Are you guys going out?" I let out a small sigh.

"He's a friend and employee from my café. We have gone on a couple of dates but we are not official. He wants it to be but I'm just not ready for it."

"I see." She was quiet again. I guess maybe she's letting it go. "What about Naru?" I froze. What should I say? What COULD I say? I don't even know what's going on between us! I wanted to be with him from the longest but he hurt me really bad when he told me those words and left me alone all these years.

"I don't know…" was all I could say. Ayako tapped on the door.

"Come in." Masako said. I wrapped a towel over me as I exited the shower. Ayako had a pair of my p.j's. in her hands. I was about to thank her when I looked at the p.j's in her hands. The p.j's that both Kino and Koga bought for me on my birthday just to make me blush in embarrassment.

"I…am…not wearing those."

"Hmm? Oh sorry Mai but Kino took all your other ones." Ayako said with a little smirk creeping up her face.

"You didn't…"

"They are long gone." I can't believe she threw them away! "I'll just set this right here and Masako and I will be inside your bedroom. They waved happily before they close the door. I was thinking about not wearing them but, wearing a towel is much worse. I'll just have to 'kill' Kino, Ayako and Masako later.

I looked at myself in the mirror. The pajama was a red tank top with a sort of see-through on the stomach thing and the bottom was a red shorts. I could tell which was redder, my face or the pajamas. I quickly tried calming my face before going out. When I stepped into my bedroom I saw that Masako and Ayako weren't there. I walked slowly to kitchen where I heard some voices coming from.

"I could go for some tea right now." Monk said as he stood up and stretched.

"I'll make some right now." I said as I walked into the kitchen. They all turned around and saw me in my pajamas.

"Mai! What in the world are you wearing?" Monk said as he finally found his words. I looked towards Kino, Ayako and Masako.

"Ask them." I said as I gave them a death glare. They just laughed. "Anyways, like I said, I'll make some tea." I said as I walked over to the stove and set the kettle on. I felt like I could feel Naru's eyes on me but I tired not paying too much attention it.

When the water finally boiled I put them into the tea cups I quickly grabbed something from one of the kitchen cabinets. I turned around and saw that Naru and Keith were both staring at me. I pointed my finger at them and made a gesture that told them to look away. Keith and Naru glanced at each other and then glared at each other before they finally looked back at me and then looked away. I can't let anyone know what I put in my tea that makes it different from the others. When I was done I quickly glanced back and when I made sure no one was watching I put my special ingredient back in its hiding place.

"The tea is ready." I said as I started handing out the cups of tea. Everyone took it and thanked me, besides Naru, and sipped it. "Anything new?" I asked as I glance at the monitors that were in living room in plain sight.

"Nope, nothing."

"Well that's good." I quickly glanced towards the hello kitty clock on our wall it said, '11:00 pm' "Well I think it's time for all of us to go to bed. We won't get much done if we don't rest." I said as I placed my cup of tea in the sink. "Koga can show you guys the room you'll be staying in. Ayako, Masako, and Kino, we'll all be sleeping in Kino's room."

"Aww but I want to sleep next to Kino!" Koga said as he wrapped his arms around Kino.

"Yeah, in your dreams!" Kino laughed.

"Oh you're there every night." Kino gave him a playful push as they walked with everyone to their rooms. Only me, Keith, Naru, and Lin were left.

"You go ahead Keith. I need to clear up a few things."

"I can help."

"No it's ok. I got this. You just go on ahead." Keith stared down at me. He glanced back towards Naru, glaring at him, How many times do they have to keep glaring at each other?, before looking down at me. He leaned down and kissed my forehead.

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Okay." I said as I watched him leave. As soon as he was gone I started picking up the mess that was on the table where we all ate.

"Hey Mai, why don't you go ahead and go to sleep. I'll clean up the mess." Lin said as he stood up and took the plates that were in my hands.

"Oh no, I couldn't." I protested but he held up his hand.

"Madoka would be upset with me if I let you do this." I thought about that for a moment and agreed.

"Alright, good night Lin."

Good night Mai, be careful."

"I'll try." I said before I walked out of the kitchen. I was walking up the stairs when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Naru walking up to me. I reached the top of the stairs when he finally reached me. "They guy's bed room is over there." I said as I pointed to left side of the room. He looked towards it but didn't move. I started walking away when I felt something tug on my hand. I looked back and saw that Naru was holding my hand.

"Naru?" I said before he leaned down to my face. I quickly moved my face and I felt his lips on my cheek. Very close to my lips. He leaned towards my ear and whispered.

"You look beautiful Mai." I started to blush a little on my cheeks. He slowly moved his left arm that I just realize that he had been hiding form me for a while when he was climbing up the stairs. I gasped a little when I saw a single tulip in his hand.

"It's beautiful Naru." I said as I gently took it from him. 'But I never told you or anyone that these were my favorite flowers. How did you find out?"

"Every time we pass by a flower shop I always see you staring at the tulips instead of the other flowers." I blushed a bit more and looked down at the tulip in my hand. I felt him but a hand on my chin and lift up my face to look at him. "I know you hate me right now but I swear," he said as he leaned close to me, "I swear I'll win your heart again. Because I love you so much and I was a fool for not realizing that in the beginning. I'm sorry for saying that you loved my dead brother instead of me." He said before he close the distance of our lips. I wanted some much to respond back to the kiss but I didn't want to give in to him that quickly.

He finally pulled away slowly. "I'll see you tomorrow Mai." He said as he looked into my eyes. He gave me a quick kiss before walking away towards the bedroom where he was going to be sleeping in. I walked into Kino's room. Thankfully they were already fast asleep. I walked to the bed that was unoccupied and laid down. I held the tulip flower next to my heart. I then placed it on the night stand so I wouldn't destroy it in my sleep. I gently touched my lips again. Remembering his soft lips on mine, I smiled and I soon fell asleep.
