14AmyChan: I found this lurking in my flashdrive... how did it get there..?

Mai: In case it's confusing, I'm talking like this

Naru: And I am speaking like this

14AmyChan: I don't own Ghost Hunt! *^_^*

It makes no sense.

What?

You shouldn't.

Why?

Because you should love him. He is a nice person. You are a nice person. Logically, that is how it works.

Naru?

You're an idiot.

Funny, I should be saying that to you right now.

You once told me that your brain works differently than mine.

I've said it more than once.

No need to rub it in!

I assume you had a point to this?

Jerk. I'm just saying that my heart works differently than yours!

Explain.

Do I have to?

Don't make me repeat myself.

Ugh!

You think that my heart seems to work on command. That I can just say "okay, heart, stop loving Naru and get on with your life!" Has it occurred to that different brain of yours that I tried that?

So you don't want to love me?

I never said that, but when you rejected me I thought I needed to accept my fate and move on. I tried to tell myself that you didn't care for me that way. I tried to tell myself that you were right and my heart was a fool.

I am never wrong.

But you were. You were wrong, Naru, and it didn't take me long to stop trying to force-feed myself stupid lies given to me in a moment of weakness.

I—

I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out that way. Lemme explain. I confessed to you right after you found your dead brother. Bad timing on my part, but I wanted to tell you before you left forever. Also, said brother smiled a lot to me in my dreams, and all the girls flocked to him during life, so it would be a "logical" assumption to believe I'd do the same.

I believe I stated this earlier.

Well, I believe you left a "variable" out of your calculations, you idiot scientist.

I took everything into account.

You didn't take me into account.

*scoff* how can I not? This entire equation wraps around your emotions.

Naru, normal girls flocked to your brother. I go to school with normal girls. You walked in on a few girls telling scary stories at a high school. Hate to break it to you, but one of them wasn't normal.

It doesn't change the fact that Gene was kind to you and I was not. I am not a kind person, Mai.

But you are.

You're lying.

Jerk!

I just proved it.

How?

You think I'm a jerk.

You think I'm stupid.

Naru

You can't stand stupid people. Why would you even hire someone with an IQ as low as what you claim mine is?

This is irrelevant.

Wrong~!

Explain

Hey, I got you to repeat yourself!

Okay, jeesh! I call you jerk, you call me stupid. You don't think I'm really that idiotic because you wouldn't be able to stand here with me and have this conversation otherwise.

We are locked in a room together.

Point being? You could have always walked to the other side of the room or told me to shut up by now. But seeing as you haven't, I'm not that bad to be around.

You call me stupid because I do stupid things sometimes.

So you are aware of your reckless behavior.

Don't push it, Naru.

I call you a jerk because you do some things that a jerk would do. But it doesn't make you unkind or without a heart.

My situation as an orphan was none of your concern. I was getting along well before you arrived. But you gave me a job and gave me new options. You've saved not just my life, but the lives of everyone on this team more than once, even at risk to yourself and collecting the data that you send us out for. A completely cold person would have a complete disregard for life, and you don't.

That does not make me kind.

You won't let us get injured.

It would be a hassle to pay the hospital bill.

In the end, it ends up to be either our hospital bill or yours. Either way, the hospital gets paid, and usually it's your bill.

Though unorthodox, I've seen you care. You're not just fascinated by the ghosts we observe, you make every effort you can to help them pass on peacefully. Where others don't care or flat out don't believe, you do.

It still makes no sense.

UGH! Naru!

I am not kind to you.

Yes you are. You're just really weird about it.

Yeah, yeah, "explain". Naru, how many times have you saved my sorry end?

159 times.

And I'm pretty sure you're not counting the times when I woke up, crying, when you remained calm. I'm sure you're not even thinking about the times where I was having a really crappy day and you seem to know exactly what to say to get my mind off of it.

That does not constitute as "saving" you.

You don't get it.

Fine, I'll explain again. You've been taking care of me, whether you realize it or not. It wasn't Gene, it wasn't anyone else. No other guy has been as considerate of me as you, even if you do call me an idiot.

Naru, I'm gonna say this one more time, and hope that it gets through that frigging skull of yours.

Just making sure you're listening.

Are you sure you're not stalling?

You-!

There. Now you believe me?

I guess not... I'll be at my desk if you need me. *I'm gonna get fired, I can't believe I did that. I'm so gonna get—*

I believe you.

Good.
