Gene and Mai had sat at the park bench talking for about forty-five minutes before deciding to get up and head to Mai's apartment.

"So, Naru has a new case." She said thinking of how to ask him.

"Yeah?" He was a bit curious. "Where at?"

"It's in Australia. At the Monte Cristo Homestead."

"Really?"

"Yes, we leave tomorrow. We're supposed to meet at the airport in the morning."

"So, you won't be around tomorrow then?" He said sounding disappointed.

"No." She let out a sigh then remembered what she asked Naru. "Bad thing about this case is we don't exactly have a medium and we need one. I'm not trained properly so…" She left her sentence hanging.

Gene smiled at her implication. "Well I'm a medium and you need a medium. So, how about I take place of the other one?"

Mai smiled when he caught on but let it fade when she remembered Ari.

"What's wrong?"

"Ari, will she even let you go?"

Gene gave her a big smile.

"Mai, you have no idea. She will definitely say yes. It's a haunting. It's one thing she likes."

"So do you two go on cases?"

"Not all the time. We hear about it but we don't go on every case. Just the ones she likes."

"Sounds just like Naru." Mai smiled.

They walked in silence for a moment.

"So, what kind of name is Naru anyways?"

Mai giggled. "It's not his actual name. His real name is Shibuya Kazuya."

"So, why do you call him Naru?"

"Well, I gave him that nickname when we first met since he's such a narcissist."

Gene smiled. "Sounds like my sister. She's one herself."

Mai giggled. They soon reached her apartment building.

"Thanks for walking with me." Mai smiled

"I can walk you to your apartment." Gene said smiling back.

"What about Ari? She won't be upset you're taking so long?"

"She'll be fine." Gene said as he grabbed Mai's hand and led her.

"Uh, Gene?"

"Yes, Mai?"

"I think I should be the one leading since you don't know where my apartment is."

Gene stopped. He turned and smiled at her.

"Heh, you're right I don't."

Mai rolled her eyes while still smiling and led Gene the way. After a few moments they reached the door to her apartment.

"Here we are." Mai looked up at him. "Thank you."

He smiled at her and brought her hand to his lips and kissed it.

"I enjoy spending time with you Mai. You've always known that."

Mai's cheeks turned a light shade of pink when he kissed her hand. Her mind quickly went to Naru and how much she cares for him but she couldn't help but like Gene. He was so sweet and kind to her. Gene took his other hand and gently stoked her cheek.

"Until tomorrow in Australia." He whispered. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. He then let go of her hand. "Good night Mai." He turned and headed down the stairs smiling to himself.

Mai watched him leave and as she did her hand went to her cheek and she smiled. Maybe Naru was right after all. Maybe she did love Gene and not him.
