Heheh, how awesome am I? I am neglecting so many things, just to pub this thing xDD... And it ain't even that good ._., Anyways~ This will be a three-shot, so this is part one~ Dunno, normally it would've been a long-ish oneshot, but I thought that separating it into three would add more suspense... Eheheh. I may update this tumrw~ But I don't really know... depends on my mood and how much school work I have... Mehh~ Uhm... I will also probably start a new series of crack-shots, so it may be I'll update this once after that chapter one, or this first, or just really different possibilities, really )_); Hah, anyways~ thanks to everyone who's been supporting me and whatnot... and enjoy this chapter... even if it's short. Oh yeah~ and the characters maybe OOC... okay they WILL BE OOC, so consider yourself warned!

~O-o-o-O-o-o-O~ I own nothing, sadly ~o-o-o-O-o-o-O~

"I'm here!" Mai announced trying not to pant, her voice rang out through the Shibuya Psychic Research office, drowning out the ringing of the bells on the door. She leaned against the wall, trying to catch her breath.

"I noticed. It was so quiet here, and the second you come in, your stupid voice ruins it," Naru, her boss told her. "You're late, by the way. Oh, and hurry up with my tea, will you?"
"Okay," she sighed, heading off without starting an argument with Naru about his manners, which surprised him. Not that he let it show. Instead, he went back to his office to revise his notes.

'I guess today isn't the day,' she thought glumly. She bit her lip- both in anger and sadness. Her eyes began to well up with tears, and she rubbed them furiously, cursing silently. 'Maybe this is a sign,' she mused. 'He already rejected me once, anyway. I don't even know why I fell for him, he's not nice, or caring. All he does is insult me,' she sighed. 'I bet he's only keeping me here for the tea,' she told herself darkly. 'And he doesn't even say thank you... My tea making skills put to waste-'

The kettle whistled, startling her and yanking her out of her thoughts. Hastily, she poured tea into two teacups, and set the both on a tray.

She made her way through the office, and stopped by with Lin-san first. True, she was trying to postpone facing her boss- even it nothing was technically wrong between them at the moment. She knocked on Lin-san's door, and opened it once she had received his silent 'come in'.

"Here's you tea, Lin-san!" she said, as cheerfully a she could manage.

"Thank you, Mai," he told her, sensing that she needed a thanks. He nodded his head, sort of a dismissal, once she had set the tea down on his desk.

"You're welcome," she smiled, as she exited his office. She mad her way to Naru's office. She pasted on a smile, and knocked on the door.

"Come in," he told her.

"Here's your tea," she said, noticeably less cheerful than she had told Lin-san.

"Set it on my desk," he ordered in a cold voice.

"O-okay," Mai responded, her voice faltering, due to Naru's cold behavior Although she had semi-gotten over her 'depression' from this morning, it did nothing to stop the tears from threatening to come back. She blinked her eyes rapidly, trying to keep the tears from falling. 'Why am I being so emotional?' she groaned mentally.

And somehow, in the whole 'I-will-not-cry-in-front-of-my-narcissistic-boss' deal, she managed to trip over her foot, causing her to stumble. And her stumble caused the teacup to fall, and spill the tea... all over her boss... who just so happened to be reading over really important notes at the time.

"Oh my gosh, Naru, I'm so sorry!" she apologized frantically, bowing repeatedly.

It only took Naru a second to respond, and explode.

"How stupid are you? You idiot!" he yelled harshly. "Can you do anything right? What is wrong with you?" he continued to hurl insults at her, and she took it silently, but they all built up, adding to her anger.

"I said I was sorry, dammit!" she screamed angrily, slamming down the tray she had carried the tea in, surprising them both.

However, Naru refused to lose this argument. He stood up, furious. "I assume you're not moronic enough to actually believe that 'I'm sorry' fixed everything," he snapped.

"You're right. I know 'I'm sorry' doesn't fix everything, but at least I have manners!"

"Manners aren't going to change your stupidity, so what's the point in you having them?" he questioned.

"You know what? I am so sick of you and of how you treat me!" Mai yelled, trying to keep her voice from shaking.

"Well, you're my employee and I can treat you however I want! Of course, if you hate this job so much, then why don't you quit?"

"Because, believe it or not, I actually enjoy it here. I have met the closest thing I have for a family, therefore have no regrets. Except for maybe having fallen in love with you!" she cried and the tears she had blinked away now flowed freely down her cheeks.

Her confession for some reason made Naru's anger much worse, and before he knew what he was doing he quietly told her, "And the only damn thing I regret is having hired you."

"Yeah?" she asked, smiling darkly, tears still streaming down her face. "Well I'll make sure you can die with no regrets," she informed him, as she turned around, walking out of his life, slamming the door behind her.

~O-o-o-O-o-o-O~

Lol, anddd~ CUT~! Heheh, how was that? Short, I know but the next two chapters will probably be longer... Like I said, I chose to do three short parts instead of a long oneshot. I will try to update as soon as possible and all that junk. Anyways, thanks for reading, and reviews are welcome whereas flames are not~
