Chapter 15: Epilogue

Its been three days since they defeated the ghost. Still, Mai and Naru were still inside the hospital, confined. Naru, who overused his ability, was committed to ICU. And Mai, who was badly injured, had IV connected to her body.

None woke up since then. Naru, especially. Ayako and Takigawa, along with John never left Mai's side. While Lin, Madoka, and Luella were at Noll's. Although, Naru is stable, the doctors strictly told his parents that if he were to wake up any day now, he is suppose to rest and not work.

"Its been three days already, huh? And Mai-chan nor Naru is awake." Takigawa told his girlfriend, Ayako while they were looking over Mai.

"Mai's badly injured. And with her wound in her stomach re-opening, it doesn't help much. Naru used his PK in order to protect Mai. And now, he's inside that ICU, almost lifeless. If Mai would wake up now, we don't know what she'll do just to get near Naru." Ayako spoke, her eyes never leaving the petite girl in front of them.

"But, Mai-chan and Naru are both strong in different ways. They can manage to wake up anytime now, right?" Takigawa said, his eyes now laying upon his red-headed girlfriend.

"They will, you know how stubborn those two are." Ayako said, leaning in forward to Takigawa.

"N-Naru.." A voice said, a familiar one that made the three exorcist inside the room look.

"M-Mai-chan! You're awake!" John Brown, the priest, exclaimed as he ran towards the brunette.

"N-Naru! W-Where is h-he?" Mai said as she pulled away the IV cords away from her.

"Mai!" Ayako said, running towards her, trying to prevent her to sit up. "You shouldn't sit up just yet, Mai! You could re-open your wounds!"

"Wait up, I'll call the doctor." Takigawa said, leaving the room.

Mai sat in her bed, looking outside the window, sadness filled her eyes. Everyone was aware that she was extremely worried about her boyfriend. And knowing Mai, she would do anything and everything just to get to him.

I can't sit here and do nothing. I have to see him! Mai thought to herself.

She quickly stood up, not caring what the others would say and ran towards the room Naru was put in. Mai slightly winced as she felt her wound hurting. 'No, I have to continue. I have to see him!' She thought, and smiled faintly when she sighted Lin outside the door of the room where Naru was placed.

"L-Lin-san!" I said before hissing 'cause of pain.

"Taniyama-san! You shouldn't be out of your room!" Lin said as he ran towards Mai, carrying her with a glare on his face.

"L-Lin-san, where's N-Naru?" Mai said, tears running down her cheeks.

"Taniyama-san, you have to go back inside your room. You'll reopen your wound again." Lin, as calmly as he could, said while walking the girl to her room.

"No! I have to see him! I have to see Naru!" Mai said, crying her heart out now.

"Taniyama-san, please don't make this hard for everyone." Lin said and stopped walking when he spotted a doctor coming his way.

"I have to see him!" Mai said, jumping out of Lin and running towards the ICU, still crying.

Once she reached her destination, she looked through the glass window. She saw Naru lying on the bed, and a heart monitor beside him that showed good signs. Mai sighed in relief and touched her wound unconsciously.

Mai's eyes were widened when she saw Naru's hand move. She quickly ran inside, not caring about what the others would say.

"Naru, its Mai! Answer me, Davis!" Mai said, almost screaming now.

"Mai?" He answered, his eyes slowly opening.

"Naru! Oh kami! Naru!" Mai gleefully hugged her boyfriend carefully.

"What are you doing, Mai?" He asked, his voice back to normal which made the brunette even more happier.

"I thought I was gonna lose you, Naru.." Mai said, trying to stop her tears from falling.

"Mai, you won't ever lose me. Your an idiot for thinking that, Mai." Naru said as he pulled Mai closer to him so he can give her a peck on the lips.

"O-Ow.." Mai said, holding tightly onto her wound.

Naru's eyes widened at what he saw. He saw blood on Mai's hospital gown. He cursed under his breath and pressed the buzzer so some nurse would go to him.

"Mai! Why did you leave your room just like that?" Came Ayako's voice, which made Naru more furious.

"You left your room? You ran?" Naru's eyes narrowed and locked his eyes to Mai's.

"N-Naru, I w-wanted t-to s-see y-you." Mai said, clutching onto her wound ever-so tightly.

The nurses came inside and saw Mai's situation. They quickly told the doctor about this and he came. Naru had his eyes locked on Mai, his expression unreadable.

"Idiot. Why did you have to run off like that?" Naru muttered.

"Naru-bou! You're awake!" Takigawa exclaimed, popping his head out from the door.

"Thank you for pointing out that obvious fact, Takigawa-san." Naru emotionlessly said, not bothering to look at him.

"Looks like Naru is back now." Ayako said, standing beside Takigawa, arms crossed and a smirk playing with her features.

"Where is Mai?" He asked, still not looking at them.

"They're stitching back her wound. It opened slightly." Madoka spoke.

"Stupid." Naru whispered to himself.

"She was really worried, Noll." Madoka said, her eyes softening. Naru just raised an eyebrow at her.

"When Mai woke up earlier, the first thing she said was your name. We tried to stop her from running to you. But we can't do anything. She ran towards this room." Ayako said, her eyes looking at the ground.

"She's such an idiot." Naru said, gripping tightly on the bed sheet. "I have to see her."

"But Naru, the doctor said–"

"Its gonna be okay now. Miss Taniyama's wound has been restitched. Mr. Davis, do you want to go visit her in her room?" The doctor said with a smile.

"Yeah. Thank you. Please do take me inside her room immediately." Naru said.

They placed him on a wheel chair and brought him to the room of Mai. He found Mai lying on a white-sheeted bed and unconscious. He let a ghost of smile past his lips and wheeled himself inside the room, closer to her.

Two hours since they brought her in, and her eyes were now fluttering to an open. His eyes lightened a little bit and he held her hand by his.

"N-Naru?" Mai said with a small smile when she saw her boyfriend beside her.

"You idiot. Why did you have to run to my room? You could have waited for me to wake up and go to your room. You know I won't leave you." He said, his voice half-teasing, half-serious.

"Naru, you're fine!" Mai said, smiling brightly.

"Of course I am. Unlike you, I can walk now and roam around and also visit you in your room." Naru smirked at her when he saw the blush planted on her cheeks.

"Ne, Naru! You're mean!" Mai exclaimed, preventing herself from laughing.

"I am always like that, Mai." He smirked, leaning closer to Mai.

"N-Naru, w-why a-are y-you l-leaning?" Mai said, her face totally red now.

He didn't answer, instead he leaned closer to his girlfriend's extremely red face, his smirk never fading. Naru placed a light yet long kiss on Mai's lips. Holding her by the waist and trying to get more close as possible.

"Out! Out now! We're disturbing something!" Luella's voice chirped which made Naru irritated and turn to glare at them.

"Mother." Naru said his mother's name, rather darkly.

"N-Noll! W-Why are you looking at me like that?" Luella nervously said.

"Maybe because you ruined their moment, Luella?" Madoka spoke, smirking at her student's mother.

"They looked so cute! Noll has no reason to be mad at me!" Luella said as she started running away from her son.

Mai giggled at the sight of her boyfriend and Luella. She never saw him this irritated at something. More likely, someone. And Luella is the one who is acting younger than her son. And so, Mai sweat-dropped. Of course, Naru would never be childish. He's Naru! Noll! Oliver Davis! Shibuya Kazuya! The cold-hearted narcissist and the, gulp, boyfriend of Mai Taniyama. Though, its hard to believe sometimes, Naru did show affection towards Mai.

"Naru, you can stop it now. You know, you can always continue it when you get to Japan. I mean, you can get more privacy." Masako suddenly spoke, covering her mouth with the sleeve of her kimono.

Mai's eyes widened and her cheeks were flaming with blush. Though, she never expected Masako to say such things. Naru was glaring at Masako and sat back beside Mai.

"Everyone can leave now. I would like some privacy with my girlfriend. And I also assume she needs rest." Naru sternly said, avoiding everyones stares.

Everyone just nodded and left the room. Mai was sitting there, blushing. Naru looked pretty amused while he looked at his blushing girlfriend.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mai said, still blushing.

"Is it bad for your boyfriend to look at his gorgeous girlfriend?" Naru asked, his smirk remaining.

"Naru! Stop teasing me!" Mai said, very red now.

Naru chuckled and gave Mai a peck on the cheek. He smiled a rare one at Mai and whispered something on her ear which made Mai blush even more.

"I need to go back to my room now, Mai. We'll be discharged tomorrow after lunch and we will immediately take off to Japan." Naru said, smiling at Mai.

A few months later

Mai ran inside the office, cursing under her breath and glaring at nothing in particular. And banging her things on her desk. Slumping herself on her seat and crossing her arm like a little girl.

"Now, what made you irritable, Taniyama-san? You're not late. So, what is it?" Lin said as he entered the office.

"Well, Naru told me to go in early. So, I didn't eat breakfast. And I had to study last night so I didn't get much sleep." Mai said, sighing.

"You should have called me this morning and told me about that. Then, I didn't force you to go in this early." His voice came out when Mai saw him standing by the door of his office.

"Well, I'm sorry if I had to finish my remaining homework and study!" Mai sticked her tongue out while Lin chuckled quietly.

"Of course. Now, we'll get going." Naru said as he pulled Mai away from the office.

"Naru! Where are you taking me?" Mai asked, being pulled by Naru, she blushed.

"Out. On a date." Naru simply said.

"D-Date! But you never told me that!" Mai exclaimed, looking all panicky.

"Of course, I wouldn't, dummy. Now, go inside the car." Naru said as he motioned towards the car where he practically pushed Mai to.

"But where are you taking me?" Mai asked, puzzled.

"You'll find out later, Mai." Naru gave Mai a small smile.

Mai leaned on the car seat and sighed a bit. She unconsciously held Naru's hand, the one that's placed on the clutch. Naru looked at it with his eyes wide, but not much. He smirked at this and also held his girlfriend's hand.

Mai eventually fell off to a deep sleep, still holding Naru's hand and a smile wasn't wiped off her face. Naru looked at her once again and a ghost of smile past his lips. Mai looked like an angel whether asleep or not. She surely is an angel.

"Mai, you're the only one who can do this to me. You're the only one who can wipe off the mask I wear and make me smile." Naru said to his asleep girl friend.

"Naru.." Mai said in her sleep.

"Mai, wake up, we're here now." Naru said once they reached their destination.

Mai woke up smiling at him. She leaped off the car and had a huge smile at him. Naru glared at the opened door his girlfriend just leaped off.

"Mai! You could have hurt yourself!" Naru scolded at her.

"E-Eh? S-Sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry." Mai said apologetically.

Naru sighed and walked to her. He held the back of her head and leaned her towards his chest, which made Mai blush. He kissed the top of her head and smirked when she looked at him. And finally, he held her shoulders and turned her around.

Mai gasped when she saw the view. She was at the top of the hill, and a tree of cherry blossom was beside her. Mai ran to see the view and she was amazed at this.

"Mai, what do you think?" Mai turned around to look at him and smiled wide.

"This is wonderful, Naru! I never thought you'd be romantic enough to do this!" Mai giggled at him.

Naru glared at her for awhile then composed himself. He walked towards her and wrapped his arms around Mai when she was turning around to see the view. He placed a chaste kiss on her cheek and whispered,

"Mai, please do the honors of marrying me."

This made Mai's eyes go wide, her cheeks burned and her eyes forming tears. When Mai turned around, Naru was on his knees and he had his light smile plastered on his lips.

"I love you, Naru! Of course, yes!" Mai said, quickly hugging Naru and tears flying away from her crimson-colored eyes.

Naru's smile didn't fade. He got the ring on his pocket and placed it on Mai's finger. He kissed Mai and they remained that way for a few minutes before eating and having fun from the view.
