EYES

A NARU × MAI FANFIC

MAI'S POV

' Why do I feel like I am being watched..' " ...ai, Mai, Mai!" "Huh?! Yeah, what were you saying Marie?" I look towards my colleague, mentor, role model and best friend. "Gosh! You are completely lost aren't you? We were talking about Maiko's birthday, and you just zoned out. " My blond friend said. Her hair was left out with her bangs pulled back, she was wearing a simple black pencil skirt and a creme coloured turtle neck top. She also wore a short goldish yellow jacket with simple pale white wedges. "Is there something bothering you? You can always tell me you know" her voice was tinged with worry as she kept a hand on my shoulder. "Yeah.. well sorta..you know maybe I'm just being self-concious.. yeah maybe.." ' I just don't know how she would react. I know that she is a great person to talk to but... and by the look she is giving me I can tell that she doesn't believe that..' Before Marie could say anything, my boss came and said, " Mai,Tea." ' Well, duh! What else would he ask for!'

Lin-san came out of his office and looked around and called out to Marie, and for the first time without any honorofics.. though he immediately corrected himself. I could just see that light blush that covered Marie's face and chuckled, she turned to me and said, " We'll talk later." "Yup, you enjoy with your boyfriend. " 'and do whatever you two do in the soundproofed room..' Marie turned red and went in the room leaving a slightly confused Lin following her. And I got to work. 'I feel it again..being watched...'

Marie'sPOV

" Hey Lin, I really don't understand.. Mai seems so out of it.. like" a feel a small pat on my head. " I know that you are worried, but if she doesn't say anything than what can we do.." " Wait. We?" I asked quizzically, ' Lin wouldn't think of helping me out with this.. would he?' " Is it wrong of me to help you?" I shook my head and blushed, luckily my hair covered my face.

Later in the evening, I asked Mai about it. " Marie.. I feel like someone is watching me... during the cases, when I'm at office or close by.. at the beginning I thought it was just my being over concious but now with I am slightly scared..not scared- scared but curiosly-scared.. you know what I mean..." I nodded. One thing I was sure of was that whoever was watching Mai , is from among us.

After going back to my room I called Lin,

" " Hey.. Lin?" "Yes, Marie?" 'His voice is so..no no Marie remember why you called him!' " Mai said that she feels that someone is watching her.. no not a stalker. It is someone amongst us..so do you think? " Lin didn't say anything for some time. "I have an idea of who it might be.. though I believe that we need to catch him in this act." His voice had a slight hint of mischief in it. I giggled, " Okay, but who do you think it is? " "Her Stupid Secret Admirer, of course. " Then I started laughing, ' Him! Of course Him. It had to be.. how stupid of me.' " Know what? You are the best!" I kissed the phone and whispered good night, he was quiet for some reason, and I shut the phone."

I squeezed the pillow and said, " Tomorrow is gonna be so much fun!"

NOBODY'S POV

Marie came earlier than usual and went to the office, and saw that Lin and Naru were already there. She sneaked behind Lin and surprised him, "Hey!"

" So about what we spoke about last night.." " Yup, all preparations done." " Good. We don't want them to know.."

NARU'S POV

' When will Mai ever try to come early..' I heard the door open and took a peek to see if it was Mai but seems that Marie came early. She quickly went in and I guess must have surprised Lin.

After what seemed like hours, Mai came with her sister Maiko. Mai went to her desk while Maiko went to Gene's room. I went back to my seat, waiting for her to come.

*Time skip : evening*

' have observed her the whole time but she never takes so long to come out of Lin's office..' I am about to knock on Lin's door but Marie calls me, " Hey Naru! What are you doing? You have some work with Lin?" I shake my head. " I just wanted to know why Mai was taking so long to come out of his room. " " Huh? how do you know that she is taking longer time than usual..?" " If you are there than she comes out within five minutes, and when you are not there three..! I mean" " You mean you need to speak with Mai alone." I turned around and saw Lin smirkingat me while Mai was blushing. Marie whistled and took out a small black box which I recognisedas a recorder. She clicked a button and my conversation with her played. "You were watching m-me?" Mai stammered, blushing. Lin and Marie looked at each other. They took their coats and left the office, followed by my brother and Maiko.

" I'll explain."

Woah, who thoughtNaru could be such a stalker.
