Chapter 1: The Narcissist Returns

Mai's POV:

I woke up at 6:30 AM to get ready for my part-time job at SPR. Even though Naru, or should I say Oliver Davis, and Lin went back to England and bury Gene's body I was still able to keep my job. It was actually all thanks to Madoka; surprisingly she was able to convince Naru...Oliver, to keep it open. Of course being Naru... Oliver... ok I give up being Naru he just couldn't say no to her.

Luckily everyone else also agreed to keep the business going. We only took on the small cases and usually the end result was subsidence or human interaction (like pranks and such). It had been 2 long years since they left and all these cases were staring to get old and boring to be honest. Every once in a while we would take a harder case which was better than nothing.

Within those two years I was able to strengthen my abilities. I developed telekinesis and my astral projection was more enhanced. Now I can wake up with injuries on my body, apparently whatever injury the spirit receives goes through before they die gets projected to my body. Even my dreams are different now since Gene isn't there to guide me anymore so it usually takes me a while to figure anything out.

When I arrived at the office it was exactly 7 Am and Madoka was already there on her laptop. "Good morning Madoka," I greeted her as I hung up my sweater. "Hello Mai," she said with a warm smile. I went to the kitchen and put some water in the kettle to boil. 'Ah what am I doing it's not like he's here demanding for tea. You stupid tea-loving narcissistic jerk it's your fault I have this habit now,' I thought annoyed.

"Hey Madoka would you like some tea," I asked her as I went to the cupboard. "Sure, thanks," she replied. When it was done I poured our tea and took it to her and brought mine to my office. I sat in my chair and let out a heavy sigh. I took a sip of tea and put away some of the files that were on top of my desk .I was able to quickly put away the files and ended up slumping back in my chair again.

"It's been so boring lately and we haven't taken a case in two weeks," I said while sighing. Suddenly the front door to the office opened, assuming it was a client I got up from my chair and went to greet them.

To my surprise it was actually Monk who opened the door. He came into the office followed by everyone else. "Good morning everyone," I said with a smile. "Good morning sweet little Mai," Monk said squeezing the life out of me.

He was then hit in the back of the head by Ayako and her purse. They ended up going at it which made John go stand in between them to try and keep the peace. Yasu comes over to me being the pervy guy he always is earning a smack in the head from Ayako. Masako comes in quietly and that's how our family is every time we gather. When I say family I really do mean family, because we all act like one big happy family.

"Have a seat and I'll go make us some tea," I said going to the kitchen. 'Ah Naru I swear I'll make you pay for this,' I thought shaking my fist. "What's got you worked up all of a sudden," someone said from behind me. I turned my head quickly to find Yasu standing right behind me. "Why is it whenever I'm thinking or something you just have to come and sneak up on me," I said as turned my entire boy to face him. "Because it's funny to watch your facial expressions when you're thinking," he said casually. "Geez you never change do you," I said a bit irritated as I grabbed some cups for the tea.

"Nope I'm the same man I was when you first met me," he said grinning. I rolled my eyes as I started pouring tea in the cups for everyone. "Well since you're here can you help me take tea out to everyone," I said placing some of the cups on the tray. "Sure anything for a pretty girl like you," he said grabbing the remaining two I stopped walking and started to blush when he said that. 'Get it together Mai he's just being his usual self,' I thought as I shook my head dismissing the thought. "You're so lucky my hands are occupied otherwise you would've gotten a smack to the head," I said as I walked to the main room.

"So how come you guys are here I don't think we have a case right now," I said as I handed out the tea. "Actually I was the one that called them here," Madoka said closing her laptop. "Oh so did we get a new case," I asked sitting next to Monk. "No not yet but someone will be by in an hour to talk to us," she said taking a sip of her tea. "But there will be a couple of people joining us as well," she said with a small mischievous smile. "And who might that be," Ayako asked. "You'll see in a minute. Then as if on cue the door to the office opened.

Naru's POV:

It had been 2 years since I left to England and now Lin and I are returning to Japan. In order to get there by 7 AM like Modoka asked us to we had to book an early flight. It was going to be a 5 hour flight (A/N: I have no idea how long it really is and I was too lazy to look it up so please don't get technical with the time.) followed by a 1 hour drive to the office. Madoka had called a week before asking for us to return. When I told her that there was no reason for us to return she still kept insisting saying that there were no interesting cases. I eventually gave in seeing that there was no way she was going to let this go so I agreed to return.

So now we were boarding the flight and within a few minutes the plane had taken off. Lin took out his laptop and started doing who knows what. I leaned my elbow on the window and placed my cheek in my palm. I had closed my eyes and within a few seconds I had fallen asleep.

When I woke up there was nothing but darkness surrounding me for miles. "Where am I and what am I doing here," I asked a bit irritated. "Come on Noll lighten up if you keep up this depressing act then you'll never get girls to fall in love with you," said an all too familiar voice from behind me. My body quickly turned around and for a moment I thought I was going to become dizzy and fall. The person I saw was a person that I shouldn't be able to see anymore. It was brother, Gene he was still here and I couldn't understand why.

"Gene what are you still doing here," I asked with a hint of surprise in my voice. "Wow that's the first thing you say to your own brother, your twin after all this time, not even a hello or how are you doing, but what are you doing here," he said being his usual self and pouted. "This is serious you shouldn't be here you should have crossed over by no," I said angrily. "Actually I'm not done here yet," he said smiling sheepishly. I was about to start asking a million questions until he spoke.

"Before you say anything I'll explain everything later for now I just came to tell you something," he said suddenly becoming serious. "What is it," I said crossing my arms over my chest. "Try to keep Mai close to you guys at all times don't let her go anywhere by herself," he said with a serious look on his face. "Why is she in trouble," I asked concerned. "Just do it please I promise I'll explain everything later," he said fading away. "Wait Gene just tell me," I yelled. "Sorry until next time little brother," he said and there was a blinding light which had made it impossible for me to see or keep my eyes open.

My eyes flew open and I was back on the plane. I could feel the tiny beads of sweat on my forehead. I rubbed my eyes with my hands and let out a sigh. "Is everything alright," Lin asked looking at me. "Yeah, I'll be fine. How much longer," I asked shifting my position in the seat. "We should be landing in about 5 minutes," he said closing his laptop.

The plane finally landed and we gathered our luggage and took it to Lin's van, and made the 1 hour trip back to Shibuya. I was looking out the window and I couldn't help but be bothered by what Gene told me. 'It must have to do with the fact that she's such a danger magnet,' I thought as I smirked. 'Then again we are talking about Mai here she is an accident prone idiot so it's natural to worry,' I rest of the way to the office went by quickly, quietly, and smoothly just the way I liked it.

We finally arrived at the office and immediately after getting out of the van yelling was heard from the building. There were only a few people I knew that could make this much noise so early in the morning. I pinched the bridge of my nose and let out a deep heavy sigh.

"It seems that everyone has come to welcome you home," Lin said as I walked around the van. "The only thing they are doing is making too much noise and are going to be returning home. Wait how did they even know I was coming back the only one who knew was Madoka correct," I said as we walked to the door. I saw the hint of a small smirk on Lin's face and I immediately knew that this was their doing.

'This is going to be fun,'Gene said telepathically. 'Oh great you can still communicate with me telepathically,' I replied while sighing. 'Yup now just have fun or at least pretend to it would mean a lot to the others especially Mai,' he said. 'Why would it matter she loves you remember,' I told him. 'Do you really believe that you idiot scientist,'he said and I could just picture the 'really' look on his face. 'Yes I do now go I'm busy,'I said and the connection was cut. I opened the door and everything became quiet and everyone was staring wide-eyed at us.
