It has been two weeks since they finished their last case. Naru sat alone in his office. Both Lin and Mai had gone home for the night. And yet again, he was forced into a 'date' with Masako. He respected her ability in her field, but there were no romantic intentions from him towards her. It was all because she figured out that he was actually Oliver Davis.

Opening his top drawer in his desk he let a small smile play on his face. It was a family picture. Himself, his twin brother and their adopted parents. The Davises were good people and they did dote on himself and his brother more than he thought someone could. His smile faded and his eyes became distant as he landed on his brother. He was the only reason why he had come to Japan. To find his brother's body and then go back home to England. But nothing. He had hoped, that if he came to Japan, it might be easier for him to contact him but he has had nothing happen yet.

Sitting the photo down in the drawer again he shut it then stood and left his office. His apartment not that far away. Lulling over what he should do next to find his brother. Though he knew that what he had to do in the morning was going to be something even more difficult for him. He was going to end the tie that Masako had on him so he would not feel obligated to go along with her.

As he reached his apartment he found Lin standing by the entrance. "What are you doing here? I thought you had already went home."

Keeping his eyes closed and his arms crossed Lin sighed. "I got a bad feeling. I called you but you didn't answer your phone. Nor your cell."

With a sigh as he dropped his head Naru walked on past him. "Come in. There is something you need to know about before it happens anyway."

Opening his eyes and watching him walk past him Lin sighed. "Another case?"

"Truths."

Following him into his small apartment, Lin half glared at him. "What do you mean truths?"

Taking his coat off and dropping it on the chair, Naru then sat on the couch and leaned his elbows down on his knees as he bowed his head. "I am sick of this charade I have been carrying on. Naru is just natural for me to answer too. It is so much like Noll after all. But it is time that they knew why I am here and who I really am. Miss Hara most of all."

Gasping Lin took a step back. "Are you serious?"

"I am Lin. She claimed a spirit told her, yet the first meeting I had with her, the day after she told me she knew who I was. And that if I didn't want the others to know I had to agree to go on 'dates' with her."

"So that is why you have been doing that."

Nodding as he leaned back on the couch Naru sighed. "It is driving me mad. At first it didn't bother me but now that….." Then his eyes took on a distant look as flashes of not only Gene but Mai flew through his mind. "Mai. She is the reason I can't do it anymore."

Blinking as he sat in the chair Lin gave him a odd look. "Mai?"

Another long sigh and Naru looked his friend in the eyes. "I see it in her eyes. I know how she feels about me, and as much as I hate to admit it….."

With a sigh as he closed his eyes Lin half smiled. "You have also developed feelings for her. It is only natural after all. You are only human."

Glaring as he stood and headed for his room Naru let out what sounded as an annoyed growl. "At any rate, first thing in the morning I am going to have Mai call everyone to the office and tell them all."

"And Mai?"

"In time. I am not sure how to do that one yet."

"Masako?"

Stopping at his bedroom door, Naru turned back to Lin. "Will be told bluntly that things will no longer carry on between us as they have. Oh and another thing, I want you to start training Mai."

Jumping to his feet Lin glared. "What? Why would I do that?"

Smiling a true smile for the first time in a long time, Naru slowly turned back to his bedroom. "After all if things between us do happen, she will need to at least know how to defend herself. You wouldn't want me to go off in a rage if something happened to her now would you?"

Glaring then turning around and heading for the door Lin sighed. "Fine."

Hearing the door slam Naru laughed slightly then went on in and got ready for bed. As he let his eyes drift shut, he was filled with worry on how everyone would take the news that he had for them. And was still trying to work out how he would or should tell Mai what was going on. All he knew was that he was, and would decide what to do next about her depending on her answer to his question.

With a smile Gene stood in his brother's bedroom window. It was time now to reveal the truth to Mai. About who he was and why he was coming to her. Though that was going to be the only thing that he was going to tell her. 'Don't worry dear brother. She loves you as much as you are beginning to her and everything will work out.'

With a stretch and a yawn, Mai climbed into bed and let out a long sigh. Naru and Lin had her running all over the office for them. Making tea. Calling different people, and seven people showed up asking for help, and of course all of which Naru turned down. Then she felt the tears welling up in her eyes. As just as she was getting ready to ask Naru if he wanted to go and get something to eat with her, Masako showed up and asked him first. And once again he agreed and went with her without question.

Rolling over on her side she let her eyes drift shut as tears trailed down her face. It was beginning to look like that the only time she would ever have any affections from Naru was in her dreams. Where she hoped that he would come tonight. She had every intention on asking him exactly what was going on between him and Masako.

"Mai. Wake up."

Opening her eyes Mai looked up into Naru's eyes, but he was glowing. Just like in her dreams. She looked around as she sat up, she was still in her room. "Naru is this a dream?"

"Yes Mai it is. But there is something that I need to tell you."

Turning to him with worried eyes Mai blinked a few times. "What is it? Has something happened to someone?"

Shaking his head Gene kept his smile. "I should have told you this sooner Mai. From the very first time that you saw me in your dreams. It was wrong of me, and I am sorry."

"Told me what Naru?"

"I am not Naru."

Gasping as she started to scoot away from him, her eyes filled with fear. "Who or what are you then if you are not Naru?"

Reaching out and grabbing her hand to stop her Gene laughed. "I can't tell you exactly who I am. But you know someone whom I have been trying to reach for some time and for some reason cannot. It will all be made perfectly clear to you tomorrow. The one thing I do want to make sure you understand from me tonight, is that I will not abandon you anytime soon. Until you are able to decipher dreams from reality I will guide you."

Her eyes streaming down her face Mai looked up into his eyes. "Please can't you just tell me your name? Or the name of the one that I know?"

Shaking his head as he stood up Gene smiled. "I cannot just yet Mai. You will put everything together tomorrow I promise. Trust me."

Never having had any reason not to trust this Naru look alike in the past, Mai nodded with a smile. "I trust you. I always thought you were Naru. I wish you had told me from the start, but you never lead me stray before."

"And I never will. Nor will your friends either."

Mai watched as he just faded out of sight then sighed as she laid back down. Wondering how she was going to piece together what he said she would tomorrow. "He prolly doesn't realize how much of a slave driver Naru is."

Not being able to sleep hardly at all the night before, Mai decided to get to the office early and start sorting through messages, and have everything ready for Lin and Naru's tea when they got there. Though her mind did often travel to what the guy in her dreams that is Naru's twin but not Naru told her last night. 'I hope I find out soon.'

"Why are you hear so early Mai?"

Shaking her head Mai looked up and then smiled. "Well I couldn't sleep last night so I figured that I would get hear early and get started so I didn't wear myself out again today."

Lin nodded as he walked toward his office. "So then I take it that you have tea ready?"

"All I gotta do is add the water."

"Good. Bring me some."

Nodding as he headed for his office Naru nodded. "Indeed. Hot tea does sound good."

After their doors shut, Mai sighed as she walked over and started pouring their tea. "Like I didn't know that. Six months I have been here and they act like I don't know my way around here anymore." First she took Lin his tea. "Here you go Lin."

"Thanks."

Then going in Naru's office she smiled. "Here you go. Extra strong just like you like it."

Reaching out and lifting the cup Naru took a drink. "Good. I have something I need you to do today other than the norm."

With blinking eyes Mai tilted her head as she gave him a worried look. "Like what?"

Not even looking up from his book, Naru sighed. "Call Monk, John, Miss Matsuzaki, Miss Hara and Yasu and have them all come here around noon."

"Sure. Do you have another case for us?"

"No. You will see when they all get here."

With a sigh and a glare. "Fine." Then she left his office and sat at her desk. 'Always keeping me in the dark about everything!'

It was now 12:30 PM and John had just arrived. When Mai called him he said he would be a half hour late that he was doing a house cleansing for someone and couldn't be there by noon. But now that he was there, everyone was. Going to his door Mai opened it and popped her head in. "Hey Naru."

"Is he here?"

"Yeah John just got here. I am going to make everyone some fresh tea okay."

"Good I will be out in a moment. Tell Lin to come on out and wait for me."

"Okay." Mai then poked her head in Lin's door. "Hey Lin, John is here. Naru said he wants you to come in and wait with the rest of us out here."

"Fine."

Blinking as she walked past everyone she sighed. "This is strange."

"What's strange?"

Glancing toward Monk she sighed as she turned back to make everyone tea. "Well when they first got here everything seemed normal. But now I don't know. It is like something big is going to happen but not a bad thing."

Monk sighed as he dropped his head. "I see. I just hope he don't have something that he needs physical work for. I am beat."

Smiling as she was getting ready to put the water in the tea cups Mai laughed. "That's right. Your mom and dad wanted you to help them at the temple yesterday didn't then. I bet that would have been funny watching you doing all that work."

"Mai if you wouldn't mind. I will do the tea for Naru."

Looking up to see Masako standing behind her Mai sighed. "I got it. His is in with everyone elses."

Reaching out and stopping the tea pot Masako closed her eyes. "I will be making the tea. Simply show me which one is for Naru and…"

"Miss Hara."

Mai and Masako looked up to see Naru walking out of his office. Masako smiled. "Hello Naru."

With a sigh as he closed his eyes and headed toward where his chair was and sat down. "I told Mai to make tea for everyone. It is her job. I expect her to do it. Now if you would take your seat and let her see to it."

With a mix of hurt and jealousy in her eyes Mai let go of the tea pot and then moved to sit down. "Very well."

Mai sighed as she finished making the tea and handed it out then sat down between Yasu and Lin. Across from her was Ayako, John and Monk, and then directly across from Naru across the table was Masako. She sighed as she dropped her head. She didn't want to be jealous but she couldn't help it when it came to them. Masako may think that she got special treatment but it was so the other way around.

Naru sighed as he crossed his arms. "There are a few things that you all need to know. Over the last six months you have proven to me that you all have your own talents. Miss Matsuzaki included with the last case. Because of that fact, I have decided that there are a few things I must reveal to everyone here."

Everyone just starred at him with blinking eyes. Finally it was Yasu who spoke. "What is that?"

"Kazuya Shibuya is only one name that I go by. It was a name given to me by my Japanese parents. Though they died before I was one year old."

With blinking eyes John was the next one who spoke. "So what is your other aliases?"

"They are not aliases John. I have the nickname that you all call me thanks to Mai, Naru. I also go by an English Name."

"English!?"

Opening his eyes to see shocked yes, all except for Masako who looked more terrified than anything. "My English name is one you all know. And with the exception of Mai have admired for what he can and cannot do in England."

This time it was Ayako who broke the silence. Her eyes were as wide as they could go and she was shaking. She pointed a finger at him as she jumped to her feet. "There is no way that you are really…."

Nodding with closed eyes and a calm demeanor, Naru sighed. "I am Oliver Davis."
