Ok everyone, emberrox42 here. Time for a brand new story. ER… ENTER!!!!
Summary: When Mai's afterlife turns upside down, it's up to her and Gene to save everyone else's lives! Whether it's from gut wrenching sorrow, life support and food stamps, or even themselves, you know our favorite fun loving 15 year old psychic will do anything to right her wrongs. But will it be too much?
Warnings: Very emotional beginning. NOT for the faint of heart. Suicide is present. Ghosts, drugs, and wackiness included. Religious views,[if they offend you, I'm VERY sorry, it might not be what's actually real: who knows until they're dead? Please, if these are not YOUR particular religious views on life, bear with me for the sake of the story. Thank you kindly.]
Disclaimer: uh… I don't own them. I really would like to. But only the plot is mine. Sigh.

Left Behind
Naru couldn't believe it. He was furious. Mai, the happiest person in the world? How could she have done this?
Last night Mai Taniyama had attempted to take her life.
And succeeded.
Ayako should have found her. She would have known what to do. Not like Naru. All Naru could do was call for help. Maybe if he'd been louder, maybe if he'd been faster. But no, she was gone.
He cursed Mai. He cursed her to high Heaven. Or should he say the Realms of Hades? He hated her with a burning passion. How could she do this to him? He glanced at the crumpled note she had handed him before locking herself away and blowing her brains out. It read:
Mr. Kazuya Shibuya,
Naru,
I know you don't care, but I had to explain to someone. The others are too emotional. I had to do it. I really did. Just so you know, I've held back a lot of pain. More than you could possibly understand. Honestly I'm surprised I kept my wall up as well as I did. So this will come as a shock to you: I never was happy. It was all a façade. It's really hard to try and care about life when all you really want to do is get away. The worst part was living a lie. The real Mai died when her parents did. When she was left alone in the world with no one but pity. That's all that got me the friends I had. No one ever told anyone 'poor Mai, it couldn't have happened to a nicer girl.' No, it was always 'poor Mai, and she might have amounted to something. Go play with her or something'. I know that's no excuse for blowing my brains out. And maybe I got over that. But you know your life's a wreck when your best friend, the only person who ever really understands you is your bosses dead twin brother. Now that I'm dead, I can go on and be with my parents and best friend, where no one will ever judge me again. Except I'm going to Hell. Because John said that people who commit suicide go to Hell, right? It's a sin. But at least I'll be in the right place. I won't be living a lie. And maybe I was good enough during life that I could go to Heaven in a few thousand years. I dunno. I didn't get John's whole 'Judgment Day' thing. If you want me to apologize, I won't. I have nothing to live for, right? Anyways, later. I've got a date with the barrel of a gun.
With all the dignity I can muster,
Mai Taniyama.
P.S. Now that I'm dead, I guess I can tell you. I love you. But so does every other girl in the world, right? That's why your Naru. So like it maters. Like I matter.
Naru gritted his teeth. What did she mean she didn't matter? Of course she mattered.
He tossed a bouquet of flowers on her grave and walked away.
OMG sob! I told you! Don't say I didn't warn you! I did! Sorry the first chapter's so short. It added dramatic effect. I'll make it up to you. By posting fast. I hope. ( I don't promise)Don't worry, it'll get better. ( I DO promise.) Until next chapter….(which will NOT be so short... it looked longer on word...)
