Chase stayed in the doorway keeping an eye out for incoming guards, but also keeping watch inside the room, in case this guy tried to do something to her. Of course she had her blood bending, but there was always a chance that something could happen. He could hear their interaction, things didn't sound like they were going too well. To think all of that happened to Mai, it was almost too much to wrap his head around. And this man didn't seem to want to talk. At least about the answers that Mai wanted.
They heard the guard's footsteps at the same time, Mai grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the window. By the sounds of it, there were a lot of them, so fighting their way through would have been a lot more difficult then slipping away through the window. They ran until they were sure no one was following. It wasn't far though, it didn't sound like anyone followed them. What use would it be anyways, it's not like they were wanted prisoners of theirs. They were both no use to those men, they wouldn't bother coming after them.
As they began to walk, Chase held Mai's hand, knowing this ordeal didn't really offer her much closure. He wanted to go back there and beat the name out of that man, but it would be no use. He probably wouldn't talk. "I'm sorry, Mai." was all he could think to say, letting go of her hand to put his arm around the small of her back.

Mai nodded and hung her head as they walked. She leaned against him and allowed the tears to fall from her eyes, hitting the pavement. She sniffled for a moment and shook her head as they neared the home. She didn't want to go inside looking so upset. She sat on the front porch and closed her eyes, letting her tears run over her cheeks, soaking the fabric of her dress. She pulled her hood up and hid her face as she brought her hands up to shield him from seeing her. "That's it...thats all there is. My dad handed me over like a cheap slab of meat to a life of prostitution..."
Mai was seething but more heart broken than anything. Most of her life she had thought her family loved her and that she had been stolen from the family life she was meant to live. Mai eventually stopped crying and simply sat there sniffling. "This is pathetic..." she told herself, "why am I shocked at this? Any man dumb enough to get mixed up with them is sure to be some scum bag..." she laughed at herself through the tears.

He knew there was nothing he could really say to make her feel any better about what she just heard. It was something she would have to come to terms with over time. There was no closure in situations like this. he sat with her as she cried, keeping his arm around her. It wasn't much comfort, but it was better then being alone, probably.
"You have every right to be shocked. At least you know you'll better your bloodline by not going down the same path that they did. We can't change what our parents did." Standing up, he helped her to her feet as well. "Let's go get a drink, you need one." After everything that had happened recently, it would be good for the both of them to relax and unwind, and maybe even forget a little.

Mai nodded and followed him inside. She ended up sitting in the kitchen at the table as he poured sake and handed her a cup. She drank it slowly and let her eyes close. They drank and chatted for over two hours, not really stopping themselves from refilling the cup each time as it emptied more quickly as the hours passed. She used to steal it to help her sleep on the rough nights after a client.
As she sat next to Chase, leaning on his shoulder and letting him drink his own. "Thanks for going with me..." she whispered. "I know...nothing really got solved but it did help." she explained, "But it was still nice to have you there with me..." she smiled and touched his cheek, drawing his lips to her own. She kissed him sweetly but left it open for him to make the move. Mai had a high tolerance for alcohol anymore, and though she was a little more relaxed about herself she wasn't in the mode to not be thinking clearly. She was hoping it was lossen her partner enough to let him give into his feelings.
Mai knew Chase cared but he was stiff about everything. Right now was not the time for that. They had both suffered loses and now was time for some forgetting.

They went inside and began drinking sake together, Chase not caring how much he drank. Usually he would try to pace himself, but at this moment, he just wanted to be drunk. It seemed like the best thing to do right now. he had never been a big drinker, so the booze reached his head quickly, feeling the buzz take over. They got through a few bottles before they both silently decided to slow down, sipping the sake slower now.
"Well i'm glad it helped at least a little." he said, slurring his words a little. he was definitely feeling the effects of the alcohol, his body had a nice light feeling to it. As she kissed him he leaned into her, pulling her back into the kiss as she broke it. He had never really kissed a girl before her, but it didn't feel weird or awkward like he thought it would. When they kissed, it felt right.

Mai leaned in and ending up pulling him closer by the collar of his top. She enjoyed his kissing, his touches, his warmth. One thing led to another and they never made it up to bed that night...
Mai rolled over as the morning sun came through the curtains and cast across her body that was strewn on the couch with another form spooning behind her. She sighed happily for a moment before she felt the warmth of another pressed to her skin...her naked skin. Mai's eyes shot wide open as she looked down and saw herself under the blankets, naked with Chase. Jumping from her position on the couch she snatched the blanket to cover herself, in the process uncovering Chase. She gave a gasp and tossed the blanket back to cover him as she reached for a different one and hid her form as panic ran through her. her hair was a mess, they were both naked but she wasn't sure if they had sex or not. She thought for a second and remembered making out and some heavy petting, she remembed stripping....and him joining in....the kissing, the touches..."Oh my god what have I done?"
Sex was just sex to Mai, she wanted her first time with Chase to be special and instead it was some night of drunken stupor gone wild...Running her hands through her hair she watched him come to and realization washed over both of them. June walked by and gave a giggle, "Oh young love, don't worry you two the young one was up and out before she saw you. She's out helping me in the garden." June continued outside as she gave them some time.
"Morning..." Mai said... suddenly feeling very ashamed.

The rest of the night was a very big blur. He definitely didn't remember most of it, but knew their night was eventful. He awoke with a pounding headache, nausea washing over him as he sat up. A small groan escaped his lips as he sat up, holding his head. "Morning." he grumbled, finally taking the time to study their current state. The first thing he noticed was that he was naked. Next was the fact that Mai was as well. Well at least from what he could tell, she was covered, but her clothes from last night were strewn randomly around the room along with his own.
What did happen last night? He tried to think back but drew nothing but blank memories. "What happened last night?" he asked, looking over at her. She didn't seem as drunk as he had been, maybe she remembered what happened.

Mai was shocked, he had been that drunk that he didn't remember a thing about what had happened? Sure it took her a second but she was able to grasp it once she thought about it, all the while he stared at her like she was supposed to fill him in on some secret. Sighing she kept the sheet covering her as she whispered, "Things went...a little farther than expected..." she rubbed her temple and then waited to gauge his reaction. When he still seemed a little lost she bluntly said, "we have sex..." and she started to gather her clothes up. "No big deal." she grabbed her own clothes and tossed his at him as she left to go and get dressed for the day.
Mai was so scared, Chase had passed every test to stand by her side and never let her down but this was different. Now that he had done it with her, even if he didn't remember it, would he leave like everyone else? Would he regret doing it with her? She reached the top of the stairs and flung the door open as she started to get dressed not even bothering to close the door, it wasn't anything he wouldn't have seen before...then again he was drunk and didn't recall it. She shook her head and dressed before sitting down to brush her hair, leaving it down to hide the scars. As she inspected herself she noticed the hickey and smiled...she remembered him giving it...It had felt so nice...it didn't hurt and he was passionate and loving. But he was drunk, it took the romance out of it all.

He was definitely too incoherent still to understand her cryptic description of what had happened. But thankfully she cleared things up after a bit. "We did?" as soon as his response left his lips he knew it wasn't the smartest thing for him to say. Dammit, why did he have to drink so much? His first time was something he would like to have remembered, at least. He had been told by others that it wasn't a big deal, but he really cared about Mai, it was a memory that he could have wanted to keep.
But there was nothing that could be done about it now. What was done was done, even if he couldn't remember it happening. Catching his clothes as they were tossed at him, he tried to get dressed as quickly as possible, pulling on his pants, following Mai up the stairs to their room. Sitting on the bed, he looked back at her, brushing her hair in the mirror. "Was it really not a big deal for you?" he asked her a little quietly, as he went over their previous interaction in his head.

Mai sighed and looked over her shoulder. "I don't know..." she rubbed her face down with warm water from the basin as she knelt on the floor next to a small mirror. "I just...I didn't want that to happen so soon, when you wouldn't remember it. I mean I wanted it to happen, I don't regret it but you don't remember and I didn't want you regretting it..." she was ranting on and talking in circles as she continued to dance around answering the questions. "It's never meant anything to me...its just my body...I've never shared it with someone who actually cared about me and I guess...I wish you remembered it..." she covered herself with the scarfs she now wore around her neck and head, almost like a hijab to hide the burn marks. She was smiling to herself as she felt the hickey again. "It was sw
eet...and...loving and gentle....and I didn't know you were hammered..."she added in the last part. "I'm to blame, I should have known you wouldn't have had a high alcohol tolerance. I'm just so used to it from my lifestyle." Mai then dared to ask the question, "Do you regret it? I know you dont remember, but..." Mai was frightened. Having sex with someone who hundreds of men had slept with can't be much for the ego. "So many have taken me before...I don't to cheapen the experience with a ...used product." she put it the best way she could.
