===- 3:00 pm at SPR building-=======

Argg, these files, I'm tired just looking at it. These case are 2 to 3 years older, why did Naru want to sort it out anyway? and look! 7 inches thick! arg,, until tomorrow this will be my work,,, ughhh...

*grumble of stomach*

... I'm hungry and there's is no more supply food at the kitchen and it's snowing outside and so hastle to go outside...

*grumble of stomach again*

Ok, I Can't Take it!

*tock-tock-to-tock tock*

... No answer huh? I open the door and guest what, he's looking at me glaring!

"Did I tell you to come in?"

"No"

"Exactly, now out!"

"Wait, um.. I'm wondering, if you want me to buy tea and other office supplies since there is no more and a couple of cookies?" I said mumbling in the cookie part. He stared at me for a minute and..,

"Here" he extend his arm to me holding the money for grocery. Yay! I happily took the money and the list from his. wow he already prepared for this, and yay! a break from those files and free cookies.

"oh and Mai, you have to pay for the cookies, give the receipt to me after you buy the "supplies"

"What? No fair! why do I have to pay?"

"Apparently, you are the only one who'se eating that here"

"Then, cookies for customer perhaps?"

"I don't have time for this Mai, Out!"

I glare at him but he's not looking, and stormed out from his lair, but not slaming the door closed, he will kill me if I do that, after all he can use his PK-power since Lin is out. Hmmm... I stare at Lin's door and said to myself, maybe Lin is taking a vacation from always be with Naru. he's been gone for 2 days. heheheheh..

"Ne Naru, Itekimasu!" although he will not respond "take care" hmp.

let see the Mini Mart is 10 block away from the office, it will take 15 mins to be there so all in all, 30 mins, yay! within break time! I 'll just walk from here, then the fare, I will use it to buy some snack, heheheh. hmm.

its been a month since Naru and Lin came back here in Japan, and since our last case, I never dreamt of Gene again. Naru said, he's tired and going to sleep. I hope that Gene's soul is in Heaven now, although a part of we whishes that he still guide me whenever I am dreaming with our cases. Speaking of which, I hope that we have a new cases when I stepped on SPR's door after my shopping. I'm so bored to death! but it is a good thing that i can catch up with my studies. hah! to tell you the truth, I did passed all the my subjects this mid term. 50 is the passing grade, and my lowest score is 55 which is math. hahah! take that! My highest score is 82, and surprisingly it's English! hahaha, Take that Naru. Madoka and Lin did teach me though. I'm so grateful to madoka and also the new Lin why, he became gentle and cooperative? yeah. ahahhaha.

*Sound of bell ringing*

"Welcome to Kagami Mart"

hmmm.. let's see, earl gray tea, jasmine tea, camomile? Naru don't like it, ahh lemon tea. there, and then go to the office supply section. hmmm, lucky they have promo today! "buy 2 get 1 free" hahah! maybe I could take 1 from these supplies. Hehehe,

That would be 1000 yen. (please see author's note). "

Um, I would like to request an OR for this items. "

"No Problem, what company?"

"ah, SPR" " Here Ma'am"

"Thank you very much" I said while bowing to her. Hmm,,, I still have 100 yen, hehehe, hmm should I buy Naru? Nah, probably he will deduct it to my pay.

"Mister, can I have a 2 piece of shortcakes."

"100 yen please"

Ok, again 15 minutes walk to office, and boy these short cakes are so yummy.

=-Author's Note: When Mai's reminiscing her past (before Naru leaves Japan for gene's funeral) a Back-groud sound: Sen no yoru wo koite (instrumental)-=

"Naru I love you"

"Who is it you love, me or Gene"

At that time, I truly have a heartbreak, it is painful, yeah, it is, but Naru's pain is greater than mine at that time. So I was not in the place to be angry at him, after all it's my fault to fall from an insensitive, self-centered, arrogant and narcissist Naru. Still despite having know his true identity, for me Naru is Naru, nothing has change, he's still the Naru I'm in love with. Really whats wrong with me, I still love him, and because of that I only see him, you see during his absence here in Japan, there are 2 boys confess their love to me, but I turned them down. Argg such a waste, but I can't help it, only I can see is Naru. *sigh* looking at the beautiful blue sky, I ask to myself 'Naru, what do you think of me, do you even think of me as a friend, or just a human being that happens to bump you in your life. I'd be happy if you consider me as your friend, at least you're taking me as part of your life' ah I'm here. " I'm back!" I opened the door and there's a shock showing on my face. Who do you think I see?

Author's Note: Whew! My first chapter of my very first fanfic story in ghost hunts. I hope I still keeping their characters. It's hard to keep them in check, especially Naru. He's not the type to be OOC. Well folks I hope you enjoyed and see that it was interesting. 2nd chapter will be posted soon.

You're Review is greatly appreciated. Thank you ^_^
