Okay, the title has a double meaning, I know. The chapters of this fanfic will be short, I'm sorry. And as much as I would love to say I wrote Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, I can't. It doesn't belong to me. Yeah, I know. It sucks.

Anyway, READ ON

Chapter 1: Meet

The whole cafe was jam packed. It was a good thing I got here early. The seat in front of me was probably the only open one in the whole store.

It's odd to be out in public with no disguise, for I sally am. I told Ai that I just wanted to go somewhere, see what other humans were doing. The waitress arrived with my order.

I've had this thing for strawberry milkshakes recently. It might just be another stray memory or a shred of a personality form someone whose shape I've borrowed. Whichever it is, I slurped it down and reached for my next one, which I sipped slower. Humans are so interesting on the outside, almost as interesting as their insides.

For example, the man at the table behind me seems to find the newspaper so interesting that he says "My word!" every time he turns the page.

And the girl in the booth diagonal from me changes her mood with her Ipod, which seems to have a variety of music, spanning death metal to classical. I can't help but wonder if she is like me, constantly changing depending on the situation. I would like to put her in a box; maybe she holds a piece of the puzzle that creates me. It's too crowded in here for to do that now though. Maybe after she leaves...

The bell on the door jingles, signally the going or coming of a customer. Judging by the increase of the sound of the footsteps, I assume it's the latter.

Out of curiosity, I tuned into the footsteps and followed them on their journey around the cafe, no doubt searching for a seat.

I was so intent on their location, I somehow neglected to realize they were right in front of me until I could actually see the sneakers. Their owner was wearing those jeans that flare out at the bottom and a black vest attached to her green t-shirt which complemented her royal blue eyes. Her jet black hair was tied into a ponytail.

She couldn't have been more than thirteen, which is the age I look.

She fidgeted with the slim binder she held before she asked, "Um... would you mind if I sat there?"

How does Sai react to a human girl that wants to sit with him? Does he know how? Or will he completely flail and fail? This should be interesting... R&R PLEASE!
