Hotel Kinjo case chapter 4:
Ayako and Mai
Mai and Ayako stood in silence waiting for the water to boil in the kettle. Mai sighed. Ayako looked at Mai and smirked, "You know what they say about people who sigh right?" she asked looking at the girl who was now taking the kettle off the stove.
"What that they don't understand something?" Mai asked wiry.
"Nope... that they are in love." Ayako grin victoriously when she saw Mai blush.
"Well if that is true guess what it means when you constantly hit a guy!" Mai stated.
"Obviously it means they don't like them." Ayako stated as if she knew the answer.
"Nope it means you like them and just want to touch them." Mai said triumphantly when Ayako turned the same color as her hair. She turned and finished making the pot of tea and Naru cup.
Ayako and Mai walked back to the base mumbling under their breath, when they walked into the base noticing the table filled with food."Oh good the foods here I was getting hungry." Mai said walking and putting the tea on the table with the food then turned to give Naru his.
Naru began to say the room arrangements for the case, "Miss Hara and Miss Matsuzaki you will be sharing a room, John, Takigawa-san, and Yasu will be the other, and Mai, Lin, and myself will be in the last group." Mai who was calmly placing his tea on the desk jerked at the mention of them sharing a room together. She spilled a little bit of tea on the desk, and then blushed embarrassed about her actions and the sleeping arrangements. I mean who wouldn't be shocked if they were going to be sharing a room with the person they loved, but they weren't alone Lin was there but not wasn't helping anything. With the dreams and things that have happened today she can't take being with all of that in one room. Mai cleaned the desk and sat down on the couch to eat her dinner. After finishing their dinner the groups retired for the night time.
Mai looked at Naru who had come with her to their room she sighed, "Hey I'm going to use the shower first." Naru nodded. Mai walking in the bathroom, it was beautiful it had an English style sense to it. The sink and the shower were like a matching set, the blackish grey porcelain covered with gold embroidery; fit the style of the 1900's. Mai looked around in awe; she stripped and hopped in the shower cleaning herself. She got out and dried, then left the bathroom. She walked back into the room, to find Naru on her bed lying down; she walked to him finding that he was asleep. She smiled and watched him for a moment. Mai tapped him on the shoulder to wake him up. She leaned forward to get a better look at his face, when she tripped. Mai fell on top of Naru noticing that he had just opened his eyes when she landed on him. She blushed profusely when he blinked sleepily at her. Mai got on her hands and knees, when Naru turned under her to face her properly.
Naru took in her appearance; her chocolate hair was damp, and her cinnamon eyes were wide, and her creamy skin that was tinted red on her face. Mai stuttered, "N-Naru I'm so sorry!" She squealed trying to get off of him, only to flip off her bed. She sat up rubbing her head, "I just wanted to tell you, that you can get in the shower now." Naru got up and walked to the bathroom.
Mai laid on her bed, blushing at what just happened.
Naru and his thoughts...
Naru leaned against the bathroom wall blushing, when he was under Mai earlier, it set something off in him. Seeing her like she was, she was beautiful, and Naru knew why he and Gene had fallen in love with the same girl.
"So you finally are admitting that you love her?" Naru looked at his image in the mirror, Gene was talking to him.
Naru sighed, "Yes... I am." He stated back at Gene who was grinning largely at him.
"Good job little bro, you better make her happy from now on!" Gene said. Naru looked away blushing again mumbling to himself. Gene smiled sadly, "I wish I was still alive..." he whispered, then vanished.
Naru took his shower and quickly dressed in his night attire. He came out into the room, noticing Lin walking in there. They nodded to each other and Naru went to his bag and pulled his laptop out and the case file. He sat on his bed reviewing and planning when he heard Mai whimper. Naru's head snapped her direction; did I just hear her whimpering in her sleep? Naru thought. He waited a few minutes to see if he heard right but no sound came from Mai. Naru shrugged and went back to reading.
Naru glanced at Mai for a second and saw her blushing beyond belief he got up and went to her bed, taking a seat on the edge. Mai mumbled again turning towards Naru, Naru leaned towards her to make out what she was saying. "Li-Lin..." Mai whispered grabbing Naru's shirt pulling his face towards her's. Naru's eyes widen when his lips touched her soft warm lips. She held him there not letting go, Naru would have been excited if not for what she had just called him.
Mai released him turning the other way, Naru sat there baffled and depressed, why is it Lin, I'm beginning to think that the things she said were just to cover her embarrassment of what she had done...
Naru flinched when he heard a throat clear; he looked behind him to see Lin smirking. Naru blushed a brilliant scarlet red, no matter how hard he tried to stop blushing and to put his normal stoic mask on, with Lin contributing to his brother Gene making fun of him about what just happened, it was a fail. "Both of you just shut up!" Naru yelled stalking past Lin into the bathroom but soon regretted.
"Well, well, well look at you!" Gene said Smiling largely.
"Gene just shut up..." Naru said his voice laced with annoyance.
"But why, the girl you love just kissed you!?" Gene stated as his face contorted into a confused one.
"No... she wasn't thinking about me at all..." Naru said sadly. "Before she kissed me she said Lin's name." Naru pouted looking at Gene.
Gene sighed, " Hey I'm sorry Little bro that was kind of my fault, she had a first person dream, I was only going to show her but something prevented me from showing her and kicked me out, that is why I'm here." Naru looked up at him with little hope in his eyes. Just then Mai's scream pierced their ears Naru and Gene looked at the door. Naru ran out of the bathroom to Mai with Lin.
"Mai!" Naru yelled as Lin moved out of his way.
Mai choked and gasped for air flailing her arms trying to fight something invisible. Naru's eyes widened when he noticed her neck turning purple with what looked like hand prints covering them. "Lin!" Naru yelled. He nodded and whistled calling his shiki into action they circled Mai, but flew away with an unknown force. Things began to swirl around the room and aimed for Mai. Naru and Lin fended them off; everyone was outside of their door banging on it. Mai stopped struggling; her body began to glow with a golden light.
Naru's eyes widened with fear, not wanting to know if she had just died in that split second. She whispered, "It's okay don't be scared, you are no longer under her control, you can go now you're free..." Mai lifted her hand and the objects flying stopped moving and just hovered in their spot. Naru and Lin shared a shocked look until they heard Mai speak again. "Don't worry I forgive you, so don't cry."
Naru was stunned. Not only did Mai have ESP but she also has PK, not to mention all the powers she had. He looked at the still sleeping girl who seemed to be having a one sided conversation, but he knew that she was only talking to whoever was in her dream. Slowly Mai stopped glowing and everything in the room stopped hovering and dropped to the floor. The door flew open and the rest of the SPR crew came running in. They looked at Naru and Lin then to Mai who sat up slowly looking at everyone. Mai opened her mouth to speak when her face contorted with pain she gasped and grabbed her throat.
"Mai!" Ayako rushed to her side checking over her injured throat. Naru and Lin nodded to each other, Naru walked over to Mai's side.
"Mai do you remember what happened?" Mai tilted her head sideways, and put her finger on her cheek as she began to think. Naru couldn't help but think of how adorable she looked. In the back of his mind he heard his brother snicker at him.
Mai's eyes darkened, "I was in this hotel, and I saw the woman who committed suicide. She was with this man, who looked just like Lin. They were... they were... doing stuff, and it flashed to a hospital with them, and a baby boy." Mai was blushing madly remembering that moment in the dream. Naru cleared his throat trying to bring her mind back to the case. She looked at him then nodded, " then it went to a wedding the man was marrying someone else and the lady she was so mad and heart broken. She took her son into this room, when suddenly I began to be choked and when I looked at who it was it was the little boy. He kept apologizing for what was about to happen and, after he started crying I just felt like I want to help him and I got this feeling that I could do something about it. So all of my emotion came out and he moved on some how." She said with a warm smile on her face.
"Yes she is right, one of the two presence I had sensed is gone." Masako agreed with Mai.
Naru and Lin glanced at each other, Naru walked over to his bed and sat down. "ok everyone, leave." He said with irritation lacing his voice.
"WHAT!" Monk and Ayako yelled.
"You can't just make us leave like that, we are here to see Mai!" Ayako yelled glaring at the young boss.
"Actually I can because this is our room, and its 2 in the morning." Naru said pointing to the clock on the nightstand. Monk and Ayako blushed and walked out of their room while muttering under their breath. Mai sighed then coughed, her coughing slowly becoming more violent with every cough. Naru walked to her side and laid his hand on her back rubbing small circle trying to calm her down. She bent over clutching her chest, choking. Naru panicked, What is going on?! What is wrong with her?! Mai coughed and water came from her mouth onto the bed, after a few more minutes of coughing water from her lungs she calmed down. Naru looked at her shocked, then focused a calculating look on her. "Lin...." Naru said turning to him.
Lin nodded, and pulled out his laptop and started typing. Mai looked at them crazy, "What?" Mai asked confused.
Naru turned to her, "It seems that your powers are growing even more than I'd originally thought..." Naru said, cupping his chin in his hand. "That can be very dangerous for you, because if they grow too fast..." he stopped himself and with a sigh got back in hissed own bed. "Just get some rest hopefully tomorrow we have enough information to sort these problems out." He turned the lamp off and laid down.
