Wah, I apologise now for thinking that Gene was the younger brother! Please forgive my bad info. gathering! =(


FILE 9 - YOUR SOUL, MY SOUL - #10

It never came.

"Atmosphere... eh?" I pressed myself against the back of the bed as my own face framed by Naru's presence moved away.

"Naru, you pervert!" I yelled at him who now settled himself contently near the end of the my bed.

"Sorry."

"Huh?" my narcissist arrogant of a boss is apologising to me?

"For having to stay in hospital as a result of me unsealing the PK energy," oh, so it's about that... what was I thinking, he'd never apologise for anything else. But I still felt a small flutter of my heart.

"I-It's fine. If you hadn't, goodness knows what Furitaka-san is forcing our spirits to do..."

"The fact that he's not particularly 'haunting' anything or anybody is worrying. The only way I can think of is if there's a higher being involved in this."

"Higher being?"

"Yes, like the Ebisu* we encountered."

"Another god?" Naru sighed and half-glared at me.

"Calm down, Mai this is only a conjecture. Nothing is definite until John and Hara-san find some useful affirmative information on this subject," the suite fell silent as Naru began working Mai's brain.

"This is no use, my thinking is taking longer than usual..."

"Is that aimed at me? Sorry for not being as crazily intelligent as you! Well, you can't really say I'm not as intelligent right now considering I'm the one possessing your brain right now-"

"How about putting it to good use then?"

"NARU!" I lashed out towards him before I realised that in Naru's body, I was much stronger.

With a hard thud, Naru was half-sprawled across the suite floor.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I forgot that I'm much stronger now- wah!" I didn't realise it was this difficult to coordinate Naru's limbs, with the dizziness ontop, there was literally nothing to stop me from falling either.

"M-Mai, g-get off!" I looked up to find myself staring up at my own face which was red as roses.

Ah hell, I was in my own lap. I winced as my arms rushed towards my face, only to find it pulling at the skirt underneath my head.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-" I fell silent as I heard the door handle of the suite turn.

I scrambled off Naru just as Lin-san opened the door.

"N-Nothing's happened! Just uh, Naru was..." my voice began to trail off as pinpoints began sparking in my vision.

"Mai! Taniyama-san!" Naru and Lin-san both shouted as Naru's body took me backwards.

With a muffled thump, I crumpled onto the bed.

"... being a girl," I finished my sentence before slipping into unconsciousness for the third time in one day.


*Ebisu: Japanese God

Aw, Naru's having a lifetime's worth of hell wrapped into one day =P
