"Naru," Mai said quietly. Footsteps in the hall caused Mai to jump. She quietly shut the window, tip-toed back to the other side of the room, and sat back on the the ground. The door flew open, making Mai's head fly up to reveal a very unhappy Lin. Jumping to her feet, Mai ran to the window again as Lin came charging after her. She tossed open the blinds, but went to slow. Arms from behind wrapped around Mai's shoulders and chest. She struggled for a while, kicking and straining, putting all effort into her escape from Lin. The arms tightened even tighter at every twitch; her air was being cut off. Mai struggled, her head was killing her, and her vision was darkening. Finally Mai bent her head down, got a good grip on Lin's arm, and bit-down as hard as she could. Blood filled her mouth, making her gag, but she held on, even with his arm twisting and turning. At last his arms let go and her body hit ground with a loud bump. Mai's eyes closed and opened in a slow manner, her body tensing and relaxing, again and again. Lin appeared over Mai. She could feel his hands tighten over her wrists, his legs pinning down hers. She could no longer move her body. She breathed in and out slowly, feeling the cold air fill her lungs, causing her body to tighten. Something met Mai's neck. Lin was now bent over Mai. His head off to the right of Mai. She felt it again on her neck. She twisted uncomfortably. Lin was licking her neck. She let out a cry of fear and disgust, wishing she could slap some sense into this man. Teeth met her skin, digging into her throat. She screamed with pain. What on earth is he doing, she questioned, he's biting me like a vampire. The teeth crunched down harder, she screamed even louder. The skin on her neck finally gave, Lin's teeth sinking in. Tears filled her eyes as Lin bit harder. "Naru," she yelled at the top of her lungs. A strange laugh came from the body next to her. It wasn't Lin's voice anymore, it was like a large animal that was getting ready to attack his pray. "So he is here," the voice came again. Lin's mouth ran over Mai's throat again, licking up the blood that was flowing down to the floor. Again the teeth sunk into the same spot on her neck. "N-na-ru," Mai cried with all she had begging that he would come to save her. "P-please, Naru! Please help me!" Another strange laugh from Lin's body. "He's not coming, he's probably already dead." Lin's face starred at Mai, the smell of blood flowing threw his teeth. He bent over to Mai's left side and started licking that side of her neck. "No, sto...," Mai started. He bit down on her neck, she screamed. This time the skin on her neck gave out faster, ripping with such ease. She screamed and trashed, begging that the grip on her would falter somehow. The door flew open as another scream ripped from Mai's mouth. Joy overwhelmed Mai, Naru! The hold on Mai's arms weakened enough for her to slide her hands out of the large man's grip. Lin's hand tightened over Mai's leg; she fell to the ground. Naru rushed forward, but Yasu came up behind him in the doorway, holding John in his grip, a gun pointed to his head. Mai shivered as Lin held her between his arms. Naru stopped. If he moved to save Mai John would be shot, if he moved to save John Mai's neck would brake. He shifted unsure of what to do, save one kill the other. What to do, what to do? Naru sat down, resting his hands on his knees. what is he thinking, Mai question. The arms tightened, she squeaked, Naru flinched. "So you do love th..." Something hit Lin, cutting him off. Mai looked up as an explosion of vapor flew from a small ball of paper. Mai fell to the ground, hitting with pain, rolling a few feet before coming to a complete stop. She crawled a few feet before face-planting into the ground. Her neck throbbed as something ran over the broken skin. She felt it run over and over the torn parts, something was pushing her face into the ground cutting of her mouth, causing her body to start shaking, she needed air. She struggled kicking with all her will to move, but that will was leaving quickly at every kick. The world swayed and her eyelids fell to the pressure. She let it go and the room disappeared.

Mai woke to a pain in the neck. She sat up rubbing the sides of her sore throat; the bights her gone! She rubbed her hand over the soft surface of her neck, net even a blemish. She got to her feet. Naru sat on the other side of the room with John. She walked up to him, placed a hand on his hands, and stared into his face. He was so, weird to say, pretty when he slept. She loved to look at him, the perfect shaped face, the amazingly soft hair, perfect completion that made many go to shame. She watched him for a few seconds then realized they were still in Naru's office. She looked around a bit then turned to John. He looked like a kid that had been to tiered to go to his bed. She smiled at him. So cute at such a terrible time, makes me feel better. She walked back to the couch she had been placed on. Who had saved her. Considering the direction the thing had come from, Naru. Mai smiled a much bigger grin. Something rattled in the hall making Mai jump. She turned just in time to see Monk walk in. He was stumbling quite bad like he had just gotten home from a bar. "Mai what on earth is happe... why are you covered in bloo... why are John and Naru out on the floor. "M-monk," Mai stuttered. "Yeah, I have a head-ace that could rattle the world." Mai laughed, Monk!
