'telepathy'

Chapter 1 "How is he back?"

Six months ago Naru and Lin left to go bury Gene, Naru's twin brother. Mai had confessed her feelings towards Naru and was cruelly shot down. He said that she loved his dead brother because he was the "dream Naru" the one who was there for her and protected her in the visions.

It is November, and snow has already started falling in little flurries.

Mai's POV

As I walk into SPR, which Madoka now runs, til Naru comes back, I put my jacket and scarf on its normal hook I walk over to the kitchen and prepare some tea for the gang. They will be here any minute now like normal. Madoka likes to have the client meet the people who will work there case so they know who everyone is.

"Hay Madoka"

"Hi Mai. How was last night?" She asks with a knowing smile.

"Ok, Tam stayed the night again." She laughs. "What?"

"I can't wait till you tell Yasu."

"UGH! Why is he always asking me about Tam?"

This is getting a little old. He shouldn't have to worry so much!

"Because he is worried about you and he cares deeply. He just doesn't want to see you be hurt again, that's all"

"It makes me feel terrible"

"Because you don't love him the way he loves you?"

"Yea" I answer in a small voice. I hear the door open in the other room. The gang (Yasu, Masako, John, Ayako, and Monk) walk in and take their usual seats. As I walk in with the tea Yasu walks up to me.

Oh no not again.

"Mai?"

"Yes Yasu?" I ask in a pleasant voice.

I'm screwed

"Did Tamotsu stay the night again?"

"Yes" I feel horrible as I see the frail hope in his eyes crumble and be replaced by jealousy.

"Oh" he gives a little sigh. I place the tea down and walk over to him to give him a hug.

"I'm sorry" I say as I feel his arms come around me. He gives me a squeeze and pulls away.

"Don't be" He cocks his head in a inquisitive manner. "You know you can always ask me to come by. I would gladly say yes." I give a small smile at the notion.

Monk looks at Yasu like hes lost his mind. "You can't you have no spiritual powers. So she should invite me!"

BONK!

Ayako hits Monk in the head with her purse. Again. "She needs a woman to stay over not some old PERVERT" she yells.

"OLD HAG" he shouts back.

All they ever do is fight. Which is surprising considering that they were engaged about a month ago.

I head into one of the side offices. I hear them bicker back and forth I turn on my laptop. Ever since HE left I have taken over Lin's job. I open up a new document for the new case. I quickly type in the basics we know, so I'm not frantically typing again. The only problem with that is that I that because I know very little it is still a relatively empty sheet. All I got is the name Itsuko Shimizu. I hear the door open. Suddenly Ayako and Monk are not longer fighting.

Must be the client.

Quickly I got my computer and went out of my (new) office. My brown eyes met shockingly blue eyes. I feel as if I'm in a dream or a vision. Madoka is looking between us, her eyes are like ping-pong balls, back and forth

"Looks like your favorite narcissistic tea-loving jerk is back" she says with a smile on her face.

"Oh my God. It can't be, it's not possible."

"Mai, don't use God's name in vain please." John reprimands softly.

How did this happen he should not be here.

"What do you mean Mai? It's Naru" says Monk very unhelpfully.

"No it's not. The person we are looking at should be dead. Very, very dead."
