Hey Guys. I know that I'm not very good at writing stories but I thought why not give it a try. This will be my first ever fan-fiction and my grammar might be shit be hey please humour me. Thank you.

This is a Lin/ Mai fanfic.

Now on to the summary.

Naru and Lin have just come back from England after 2 years and Mai is still in love with Naru or so she thinks… After an argument between Naru and Mai, she has had enough and decides to leave SPR but Lin tries to stop her after finding out that her abilities are increasing day by day.

Hello my name is Taniyama Mai and I am 18 years old. It has been 2 years after Naru and Lin have left Japan after finding Gene's body. I had confessed to Naru or should I say Oliver Davis that I had loved him but he had brushed me off by saying that I loved Gene and not him. Here I thought he was a really intelligent guy, I mean yes I know that I thought that he was Gene when I had those dreams during the cases that we went on but it was the way that he would make sure that I was always safe whenever I got into trouble. How could I not love the man that fell down a well with me and also protected me from a falling roof. I honestly thought that dream Naru was Naru.

After him telling me that I loved Gene and not him I was heartbroken. He didn't even let me correct him or explain myself. He just walking away, leaving me in the middle of that forest all alone crying. After he told everyone in the group that SPR was closing down. Everyone promised that they would keep in touch with me after SPR closed, all saying that they are all a family after all. After Naru and Lin left we all go together at least one a week in the cafe that was under SPR but soon after one by one that all started to disappear.

First is was John having to go back to Australia due to family reasons, he had emailed me as often as he could but that soon stopped after a few weeks. Then it was Masako because she had to go to America because she was filming a season of her show there. Yasu was busy with university exams and assignments. After a few months even Ayako and Bou-san had left me, Ayako had to go back to working at her parents hospital, she promised to call me every week but the calls went soon stopped as well. Bou-san had to work with his band as they had soon found success and was touring, he also promised phone calls but those calls had never come.

So I was left alone once again. I was used to being alone, even before I had meet that SPR family I was on my own after both of my parents had passed away by the time I was 12. I knew that everyone was busy with there own lives and I didn't want to burden them with my selfish wishes of being with them as a family. So I moved on with my life as best I could. I had graduated high school one year early with the highest grades in the school, and Naru had always called me stupid but I guess everyone would be stupid to him, he was a genius after all. Even if I had missed out on alot of school wth all the cases that SPR went on, my teachers always gave me assignments and homework to do will I was not in school and that was how I managed to keep up with all the other students.

Now 2 years after everyone left I am in my second year of college studying psychology, folklore and criminology at Tokyo University and I am still at the top of my class and University, I'm not going to say that the work is easy, because its not but I is enough to keep my mind off everything and focus forward. My appearance has changed as well, my hair was now long and down to my lower back, sometimes I wonder if I should cut it short again but then I disregard it thinking that its a nice change. Ive grown out of wearing short skirts every season of the year. I now wear jeans which i find easier to move in anyway.

I had just finished class at 3pm and I was on my way to work as my shift was 4:30 till 10pm. I had managed to a job at a cafe that was just two block away from my apartment. When I got to work I changed into my uniform and then I went straight to my section in the cafe and served my customers. After work had finished at 10pm I made my way home. When I finished work late it nice that the walk home only lasted 15 minutes at most. When I had got home I was so tired that I went straight to bed after changing into my pyjamas.

I woke up on the astral plane which was unusual, I haven' t been here in the last two years. After Naru had left with Gene's body I had stopped dreaming, I guess it was because I had no one to guide me anymore with Gene's body found. I looked around and saw the usual wisps floating all around me.

"Hello Mai"

I turned to look behind me and there was Gene just standing there. I looked at him in shock as I haven't him in two years, I had thought that after his body was found he had moved on. I guess I was wrong. After the shock wore off, anger, sadness and happiness made its way into my heart. `i was angry because he also had left me along with everyone else, sad because he had not moved on like I was wished he would and happiness because I got to see him again.

"Hello Eugene"

"Come on Mai, you know you can call me Gene"

"….." tears slowly start to build up in my eyes.

"Mai?"

"…." tears start making their way down my face

"Mai, whats wrong?"

"Whats wrong you ask. I'll tell you whats wrong. You are the only one out off everyone that I have seen in two years! Im angry, happy and sad all at the same time and I don't know which I should feel right now. Angry that you left without a goodbye, sad that you have not moved on and happy that I get chance to see you again?"

Now Im just bawling my eyes out after saying what I had meant to keep inside me forever.

"Mai… I'm sorry"

"No.. Its ok… I didn't mean to say all of that. Im sorry"

"you have nothing to be sorry about. I anyone should be sorry, it should be me for leaving you alone…"

"It's ok, I know that you had your reasons. By the way, why haven't you moved on?"

"I did move on. As soon as you all found my body in the lake, I was at peace."

"Then why are you here?"

"I have officially been appointed as you spirit guide, to help you learn to control your abilities."

"But Gene I haven't used any of my abilities in two years. Im sure that they have gone."

"All in due time Mai, all in due time" He smiled mischievously.

"Im starting to wonder wether I want to know my abilities." Feeling dread at the sight of his smile.

"Enough of that, now I have some other news for you Mai."

"And what news would that be?"

"Sometime tomorrow you will receive a call."

"…..why?"

"because Naru is back In Japan."
