Nyaha! KawaiixKawaii here! I hope you enjoy~

Full summary: "As time goes by, it leaves me behind. My friends and I, slowly drifting apart. My new family, gone. My dream is gone, crumbled up into dust. My life, my love, my hopes and dreams. Gone... My smile those feelings I have. The new my is here and the old me is stuck in time..." Mai loses her feelings right after Naru leaves and she gives respect to anyone who is smart or older. What will she do when Nau comes back with a case?

"As time goes by, it leaves me behind. My friends and I, slowly drifting apart. My new family, gone. My dream is gone, crumbled up into dust." I said as the rain stopped. "I guess its time I head out." I grabbed my purse and headed out Hi. I'm Mai Taniyama and I graduated high school a year early. I am no longer the girl I was a year ago. I've thrown away my feelings. I focus on important things now. It's been a year and 1 month since Na- Shibuya-san left. I'm. Not. Me. Anymore. I don't have any friends. I lost contact with the rest of the guys.

Someone bumped into me. "I'm sorry." The man said while bowing.

"It's all right. I am not in a rush. I don't have any friends so I'll take my leave." I said walking away.

"Mai?" I heard my name. I looked back to see Yasu.

"Osamu-san." Yasu was shocked when I said that

"You always call me by my first name Mai, why do you call me that?'' Yasu asked looking shocked.

"I need to show those who are older than me with respect." Is what I replied. He just stared at me.

"I'll bring you with me! I'm meeting with the rest of the gang." Yasu said and started to drag me to a park. The gang was here. When they saw me, they tackle me with hugs. I saw that we were at a picnic table. There was bento boxes and stuff.

"Mai, we missed you so much!" Monk yelled.

"It is good seeing you again, Takigawa-san." I said bowing. I heard him gasp.

"Mai, I missed you so much! How are you?" Ayako said and hugged me.

"I've been fine Matzuzaki-san." I replied bowing.

"It's nice seeing you again Mai." John said extending his hand.

"Yes it is John-kun." I said shaking his hand.

"Oh so you call him by his first name?!" Monk exclaimed.

"His country is Australia. If I am correct showing respect there is calling them by their last name." I replied. I greeted them all and sat down.

"I noticed something about you Mai." Masako started.

"And that is?"

"You haven't been smiling, sounding happy or even laughing at any jokes." Masako said and the rest nodded.

"Will you excuse me. I must go. If you desire for an answer, you have it. I no longer have any emotion nor anybody who cares about me. I no longer have that. I give respect to those who are older or wiser." I replied walking away. I heard gasps and I just walked all the way to the gate until...

"Mai, Naru is coming back today." Is what I heard. "That's why we gathered." I knew it Masako who said that.

"I must go. My destination if far from here. I do not have time to play." I said not even looking back at them. For the first time after Naru left. A tear went down my cheek. No. I can't have these emotions anymore! If I do I'll end up hurting myself again... I walked home slowly. "I need to get a new pack." I thought out loud. I walked to the store and bought Iced Coffee. After I bought it, I started walking back home. Did I mention that I moved? If not then sorry. After I graduated, I moved to an apartment near the park I was at. Once I reached to my apartment door, I looked at the empty halls.

"Tadaima!" I heard at the last apartment to the left. I just opened the door and locked it once closed. I put the iced coffee in the refrigerator. Once I was done, I went to watch the news, drink iced coffee and read a book. The doorbell rang. I went to the door and answered it. I saw the gang, with Shibuya-san and Lin-san.

I bowed. "Please come in if you intend to." I said and they all went in. I led them to my living room which was kind of big. There were three couches. One black, another dark purple and the other dark Blue. There were also dark blue couch pillows. All of them sat at whatever. "Is there a reason for all of you to come into my living space with no one informing me it?"

"I was wondering if you would like to re-join SPR. Will you take the offer? There is a case already." Na- Shibuya-san said.

"I will only attend the case and until the case is over, I will give my answer. Is that alright with you, Shibuya-san?" I replied with my voice emotionless and so was my expression.

"I accept the offer, Mai. For those who have agreed to come on the case, come to the SPR office tomorrow, 9 am sharp. Is that clear?" Naru demanded. We all nodded. I bowed and went to the kitchen. I heard Lin and Shibuya-san's conversation. "Lin, do you think..."

"Yes Naru. I think what you trained for will be good." Lin said.

"I guess you are correct." Shibuya-san said. I heard the door close and I walked back out. I locked the door and went to drink iced coffee. I drank like...18. After that, I started packing and finished in a few minutes. I don't feel like sleeping in the bedroom. I got a dark green blanket and put it on the couch. I put my suitcase and the clothes I'm going to use tomorrow on the first day near the table. I changed into my night clothes (Yellow tank top and white shorts). I laid on the black couch which was facing the TV. I took my dark green sheet and snuggled into it. I watched TV which was currently on the news channel. I yawned and went to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DREAM TIME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I opened my eyes to see darkness. "Jeez, wonder where Gene is." I thought out loud.

"Oh Mai-chan~~" A voice said and I got a tap on the shoulder. I looked back to see Gene. I saw his appearance and laughed my heart out. Gene was there, shirtless and only in shorts. He just looked away. I stopped after a while until I saw what was in his hand. I was literally rolling on the ground, clutching my side. What? My body doesn't affect my spiritual body so, I still have feelings here.

"Put a shirt on! Your brother would kill you again, then kill me." I said laughing.

"Well excuse me! It's not my fault whatever your brother wears ends up on me! Before you found out, I got to where anything I wanted!" Gene complained. I stopped laughing and looked at his side.

"Is that...me?" I asked pointing at a plush doll that looked like me. On his other hand was one that looked like Gene.

"Yeah. I gave these two to him before I died." Gene replied.

"How old were you two?" I asked.

"10." Gene replied.

"But who did you-"

"I am a perfect medium and I had physic powers. How else?" Gene explained cutting me off. I nodded.

"Wait, why do you have it anyway?" I asked.

"Naru treasures things I give him." Gene explained an I just nodded.

"Do you have anything to show me?" I asked.

"Nope. I just wanted to talk to you. Oh and tell Naru to where more better clothes. I don't like wearing black. I feel gothish like." Gene said and I nodded. Time to wake up.

I woke up and looked the time. Six o'clock. I got up, ate breakfast, took a shower a dressed up. I wore a white long sleeve, black shorts with suspenders, a black hat, black knee socks and a red tie. I got my suitcase and went off to SPR. When I got there, the door was still locked. The lights were out there too. I looked at my watch and saw it was only seven. At exactly seven fourteen, Na- I mean Shibuya-san and Lin-san were here. At first, they were surprise but it faded and we went in SPR...

I hope I made the right decision...
