Please God... I wanna go home...

How the fuck were they supposed to get back to their world when they were stuck in a house with some of the most dangerous men in this one? More importantly, how was Nai supposed to get back into Rindou's room without looking suspicious?

A few days had passed since they fell through the mirror, and they still weren't any closer to figuring out how to get home. They had a possible lead with the antique shop, but that was about it. They couldn't exactly walk out the front door and go looking for answers, and telling Bonten the truth still sounded like a terrible fucking idea.

Nai tossed onto her other side, staring at the clock. 2:07 a.m.

She groaned and pulled the blanket over her head. Her mind wouldn't shut the fuck up. The mirror, Rindou's room, the antique shop, New York. Everything kept circling back around until she didn't know what she wanted anymore.

Of course she wanted to go home... right?

She loved her life with Lani. They had their apartment, their jobs, Derek and Koha. People who were probably wondering where the hell they were right now. But somewhere underneath all that panic was another thought she didn't really want to acknowledge.

What if she didn't hate being here?

Nai squeezed her eyes shut. No. They needed to go home.

Eventually, exhaustion won.

By morning, sunlight poured through the windows. Nai shifted beneath the blankets, half asleep and way too comfortable to move. At some point during the night she'd gotten hot and kicked off her pants, leaving herself in nothing but a tank top and panties.

She rolled over, nuzzling her face into what she thought was a pillow.

Warm. Very warm.

Her brows furrowed. Why the fuck was her pillow breathing?

Nai slowly opened her eyes.

Shion was lying beside her, completely passed out with his mouth hanging open.

She stared at him.

He snored.

"AHHHHH!"

Nai launched herself backward and rolled straight off the bed. "FUCK!"

Her face smacked against the hardwood platform. The bedroom door flew open seconds later.

"What happened?!"

Lani came charging inside in a sports bra and shorts with a fucking lamp raised over her head. Ran, Benkei and Rindou rushed in behind her with their guns drawn.

Nai sat on the floor clutching her face and pointing toward the bed. Everyone looked.

Shion slowly sat up, hair everywhere, clearly still drunk.

Rindou stared at him. "What the fuck are you doing in here?"

Shion blinked a few times before looking down at Nai. His eyes traveled over her before a lazy grin spread across his face. "Nice panties."

Rindou punched him directly in the jaw.

"OW! What the fuck?!"

"You fucking idiot." He grabbed Shion by the back of his shirt and yanked him off the bed. "Get the fuck out."

"I was sleeping!"

"In her bed!"

"I got lost!"

"How the fuck do you get lost and end up under somebody's blankets?!"
