Don't make me say it...

A very short chapter because I'm being selfish and lazy again...

The Uncommon Case

Chapter Nine: The Reason

"Mai, don't say that. From all of us, you're far from being the luckiest one. How much suffering would you have to go through before finding happiness ?"


Mai stood in the dark as always indicating she was dreaming – and not at the same time –, she looked in the distance as she knew he was waiting for her.

"She attacked you, the voice stated in a calmly angry tone (don't know if you understand -_-")as it neared Mai. Why did you do something like that ? It was really dangerous !

- Nice to see you again too, Mai replied sarcastically.

- Ah, yes. The voice remembered its manners and declared in a gentler voice, welcome back, Mai.

- Yeah, it's good to be here, Mai answered its greetings while stretching her arms out. At least here, I can't feel any pain...

- Why did you do this ?"

This time the voice was just in front of Mai as it repeated its question and stepped into the light. A teenager wearing clothes as dark as his hair stared at her with his eyes of the deepest ocean blue.

"I did it because I wanted to, Mai said obviously. I wanted to protect everyone.

- And that's why you're in this form, the Naru-like figure sighed. Really, you should stop trying to protect everyone taking all the blows at their places.

- I will not stop, Mai frowned determined. Don't worry about me, Gene."

She disappeared from the dark space as 'Gene' stood there thoughtfully.

"Mai, please, Gene had a distressed look on his face. Don't be reckless, the idiot scientist needs you although he doesn't know who you are really. Your future is just before your eyes, Mai. Don't let your well deserved happiness slip away."
