Mai P.O.V.
I woke up stiff and sore from sleeping in the couch. Ugh stupid emotions, stupid love, making me care and put him first and giving him the bed. I still don't know exactly how to feel after all his revelations last night. I mean I still love him and all, but should I be mad? I don't know. Turning over so my face was no longer buried in a couch cushion I am greeted with Sarah's face right in front of mine. I scream and fall of the couch. "Morning beautiful." Sarah cooed a large smile on her face. "Fuck you." I say back to her my face contorted with anger. She giggled "Mai, if looks could kill PETA would be on your ass for killing the last Sarah in the wild." she smiled wider. I rolled my eyes "At least you finally admit you are an animal, and just in time to. It was getting hard to resist telling you how wildly disturbing you are." I smirked at her. She gasped feigning shock. "HEY! My colours are beautiful. I even have colour changing hair!" she exclaimed twirling a purple lock of hair around her finger. "I liked the purple, green, and blue, combo better, this solid colour makes you look like a normal girl. We all know you're a mermaid." I said, I heard a door down the hall open. I lean back and see Naru coming down the hall. The minute we make eye contact I whip my head back and storm into the kitchen. I can feel Sarah's stare. "Whoa trouble in paradise. What's up with her?" she asked him as he entered the room. He glared at he "that's none of your business so stay out of it." he snapped at her. Ok now I know I need to control my temper but no way in hell does he get to talk to my friend like that. I run into the room and glare at him "Hey fucker, you don't get to talk to my family like that! Who do you think you are? She is your host. She says one word and you could be flat on your ass with the front door closing behind you and we wouldn't blink a fucking lash! So, do NOT think you are all high and mighty like it's your fucking house or hotel room! GOT IT!" I finished yelling and glared at him. Suddenly a small cut opened on his cheek. My eyes widened and I took a step back. "Did I just do that?" I asked my voice hushed. "Yes. Yes, you did girly." Sarah said smugly looking content with the outcome. "Holy shit! How? I'm sorry Naru." he just stared at me utter shock written on his face. Sarah giggled and leaned into my ear and whispered "I think you have him by the balls Mai. I don't think he has ever seen you lash out like that. I'm proud of you." she pulled away a large smile on her face. I frowned at her but put my attention back on Naru. He was still staring. Slowly his hand reached up and wiped the small dribble of blood that had run slightly down his cheek. I was starting to get really scared. He stared at the blood on his hand. His gaze came back to me and another wave of fear and anxiety grabbed me and pulled me deeper. We stared at each other for a few more minutes I finally broke the silence. "umm." before I could even finish my sentence Naru had wrapped me in his arms. "Naru! Are you ok? What are you doing?" I stiffened in his arms. "Yes, I'm fine." he groaned. Why does he sound pained?
"Mai, you may want to stop freaking out." Sarah said. I turned to look at her and she was pointing to Naru. I looked up and gasped. His cut had gotten a bit longer. Ii closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I soon sunk into his arm. He stepped away from me before I could hug back. "Mai, we need to start your training very soon." he said to me looking me in the eye. I blushed and looked away. What was wrong with me? "I guess so." I mumbled and raised my eyes back to his. "So, are we ok after last night?" I asked staring into his eyes now. A small smile spread on his face "I'm good if you are." he said. I smiled wide and nodded "I'm good." I answered I took a step forward and started to go onto the tips of my toes to kiss him "P.D.A!" Sarah yelled as soon as our lips touched "NO P.D.A!" Emily yelled from her room "shut up! And go back to sleep Emily!" she laughed from her room "ok." was all she said then she went quiet. I shook my head and shared a giggle with Sarah. Then a sleepy Vidi walked into the room "why are you guys so loud?" she mumbled and stretched her arms. "Sorry lovely." Sarah said she then smiled "but you know no PDA in the house." Vidi shook her head not sure what to do with us. "Hey! You're not one to talk." Em said coming out of her room fully dressed. "what about my aunt's poor yellow couch?" she said feigning hurt. Sarah gasped and quickly faked an angry and disgusted look "we do not speak of that!" she said we all giggled and Naru looked slightly interested. "oh, do you mean your Ex-Girlfriend. You know HER…" I said a smirk on my face. Sarah furrowed her brows "yes her. Now shut up and cook me food tiny Asian slave!" she yelled and we all giggled
"But I made food yesterday. Plus, I'm pretty sure that offensive." I giggled but got up to go to the kitchen. She grabbed my arm "it was meant in humor not actuality. I would never mean that. Also, not you. Him." she said and pointed to Naru. his eyes went wide "me?" he questioned
"Yes. you must be able to cook to be good enough for our Mai." she said and dragged me into her arms and hugged me to her. "Umm…. Sarah I don't think Naru knows how to cook." I said my words muffled by her boobs in my face since she was still hugging me. She gasped and hugged me tighter. I tapped her leg and she finally let me go. She shook her head. "Looks like I'm gunna have to fix this." she exclaimed a very large sinister smile on her face "what?" both me and Naru asked at the same time. She rolled her eyes like the answer was obvious "I'm gunna teach him to cook!" she grabbed his hand and started to drag him to the kitchen. I stood they're with Emily and Vidi. We all looked at each other. "This isn't gunna end, well, is it?" I asked them. They both shook their head and headed for the couch to watch tv. I headed into the kitchen to watch the show that was about to go down. "Mai! Are you gunna watch or help?" Sarah asked. Naru looked over her head at me and I saw a small amount of fear. I started to laugh at his expression "I'm just here for the show." I said after I had calmed down. He glared at me as soon as the words left my lips. Sarah smiled wider "ok Naru, do know the basics?" she asked and turned to look at him. She starts to put her hair up in a bun. I giggle as she does this. It could only mean she is gunna cook up a storm. Naru looked her up and down trying to study her actions and intent. "Yes, I can chop and measure." Naru her answered her question. "Good less work for me and less time for you to be here. So, thank whoever taught you those skills." she said and winked at me over her shoulder. Naru rolled his eyes when her head was turned I giggled and shook my head. That was not a smart move on his front. Sarah whipped her head around. "Is something annoying or bothering you? Because if it is you can leave the kitchen now. But if you walk out of the room you walk out of the house and Mai stays here. Don't roll your eyes at me." she said in a low whisper and no usual smile on her face. Somehow, she made a stupid sentence seem like a death threat. Naru nodded him wearing his poker face as a response. I started to laugh after a few seconds of them staring at each other. "You two please don't use the kitchen utensils to kill each other." they both nodded. Sarah smiled wide and giggled at me. Naru gave me a small smile. I smiled back but it disappeared the minute Sarah turned to look at him. "Now how about the actual cooking?" she asked. "Well I can boil pasta, also the basic egg styles." he said. "Ok, can u make fresh pasta sauce? Can you make a French omelette?" she asked he looked at her slightly confused. "No, I do not see when I would need to." he replied. Sarah sighed and hung her head. She soon began to shake it. She turned towards me and pouted "Mai, I love you, but why do you do this to me? What have I ever done to you to make you give me this challenge and ape in the kitchen." she asked me slight hurt playing on her face before she winked at me. I giggled "I'm sorry but you brought this on yourself my love. Therefore, I shall sit back and watch this mess unfold." I smiled wide at her and winked back. She laughed "alright well looks like we are having pasta for dinner since Mr. massive ego, here can't seem to break his pride and learn to cook something new and its his speciality." she said. Naru frowned "I'm right here in case your Neanderthal genes took over and you forgot." he said with a smirk. Sarah turned around her face utterly scarlet and she was beyond pissed off. "Watch it fuckwad. I can easily consider your future and tell you when and how your gunna die. The one thing I do know is I am the turning point in your relationship with Mai. I do one thing and I will make SURE you two split up." she said Naru took a step towards her. "You can threaten me, my life or the people I work with but if you threaten Mai I will hurt you in the worst ways possible." he said his voice low and menacing. Sarah took a step back and smiled. "Good now you two will last." she said and winked at me. I was too busy staring at Naru. "All that for me?" I asked. He nodded and Sarah backed out the room "of course I love you. I would do anything to keep you alive, even give up my own life (a/n: hmmmm that's a good idea *writes that down. * maybe, maybe not.) I stared blankly at him. "You will not." was all I could say. A small smile played on his lips and he walked up to me "Mai you should know by now I'm the boss you don't get to tell me what to do." he leaned down and kissed me quickly "therefore I will give up my life for you." he said and I launched myself at him and hugged him tight. He held me back. We stood there hugging each other since there was no one to bug us. Suddenly there was a thud and I jumped. Looking over I saw Sarah and the tomatoes on the floor. "My bad don't mind me." she said as she bent down to pick up the fallen fruit (IT'S A FRUIT!). I just giggled kissed his cheek and stepped away from him. "Time for you to cook." I said and sat down. He looked a little upset I had stepped away from him but quickly hid it. I smiled at him. He nodded and walked over to Sarah "so what am I doing?" he asked back to his business tone. She smiled at him. "Right now, chopping all those veggies." she pointed to all the stuff on the counter. Naru sighed and started to chop
~time skip because my lazy ass is not typing out the process of making pasta sauce. ~
Sarah bent over the pot of sauce and smelled. "Hmm smells right. Looks right" she grabbed a spoon and tasted a small amount "tastes awesome" she smiled and turned "you're a natural, Naru, just follow recipes and add your own touches and you're good to go. You have passed my inspection." she said and plated the pasta she had boiled up. "DINNER!" she screamed and stepped away from the door. The doorbell rang the minuet Vidi came into the kitchen. "I got it!" Emily said and I heard the door open "HEY! Guys there are two very important people here." she said and walked into the kitchen. In the door way stood a pair of twins I had become very close with. "WIFEY!" Sarah screamed and ran into one twin's arms "wifey!" she yelled back and hugged Sarah tight. I smiled "hey aqua, hey Prisca." I said. Aqua let go of Sarah and smiled at me "Mai!" She ran over and gave me a hug. I hugged back tightly. As she went to hug the others I walked up to Prisca "hey girl." I said and hugged her. She hugged back. "So, you didn't get hit by a car today?" I asked she shook her head "thankfully no one was playing hit the black person." (A/N: ITS A JOKE AGAIN! It's just something, me and aqua and Prisca joke about. Also, yes, they are my BEST friends irl.) we laughed "who is the tall, pale guy? wifey? Are you cheating on me?" aqua asked and pouted at Sarah. Sarah giggled "actually that's Naru, Mai's man." she said and smirked. Ohhhh Mai's got herself a man dem." Prisca joked. I blushed "guuuyys." I whined. They all laughed "we are just bugging you Mai. Now I smell food so feed me!" aqua giggled "have you eaten today wifey?" Sarah asked aqua smiled "if I say yes will you believe me?" she said trying to feign innocence. "No." Sarah deadpanned. Aqua pouted "I hate how much you know me." and with that we all grabbed pasta and headed to the dining room. There was a lot of convo and laughter. Even Naru joined into the convo a bit. I was happy to see that. Later Sarah and aqua threw a few pasta noodles at each other for a few seconds. After we all went to bed aqua stayed in Sarah's room and Prisca stayed on the couch, claiming she was comfortable.
