"Mai." She heard Naru call her name. She looked at him and felt her heart beat quickly. "We need to talk."

Mai looked at Naru and felt her heart plummet. He had an expression on his face she couldn't discern. She turned to him and waited. He said nothing for a moment then he looked at her, his eyes cold and expressionless. "We need to break up."

She looked at him confused. "What do you mean, we need to break up?"

"I mean you and I need to end our relationship and you need to move out of my apartment."

Mai felt her heart clench as tears began to well up. "Why?"

Naru let out a soft sigh before replying. "This relationship is not doing either of us anything." He saw her frown. "You love Gene not me, as I have concluded before." He tried to keep himself professional as he spoke to her.

"Why would you say that?"

"The past years events have proven this. You go to him for anything. You two often make physical contact, you communicate well and there is a lot of positive energy between you two. You and I on the other hand do not communicate well, we have a negative energy and after the case in England things shifted dramatically between us. You stayed with Gene before coming to me. Thus I have concluded that you indeed love my brother and not myself."

Mai got up feeling angry about how he spoke. He was trying to be professional with their break-up. After everything they went through he decided to end it? She approached him and smacked him across the face. "How could you say that? After everything we've been through? After how far we've come you still doubt me? You still don't believe that I love you?"

He glared at her. "There's no need for the hysterics Taniyama-san." Mai looked away from him. "This is my final decision. Nothing you can say will change my mind." He cleared his throat. "Now don't forget that we have a case tomorrow morning. Be here at 7 AM."

"I hate you!" She yelled. "I've done everything in my will power to prove to you I cared for you but I'm not the only one who's distracted. You've been too busy with your head shoved so far up your ass that you don't even notice what's going on around you!" She glared at him. "The whole two years we were together you didn't pay attention and it only kept getting worse." She needed to tell him everything. "I went to Gene because he paid attention to me. He made me feel better he made me remember that even though you aren't what I imagine you wouldn't be the man I feel in love with if you were different." She sniffed.

"Thank you for clarifying things." He spoke then turned. "As I said nothing can change my mind."

Mai felt furious that he would be such an ass about everything. She decided to confess. "As for England the only reason I was with him was because he found out I was pregnant during the plane ride!" She watched him stop dead in his tracks. "Then when we were at the hospital I found out I lost them due to my abilities, but it's not like you care, you never even stopped by. You just went back to Japan without seeing me." She picked up her stuff and began to leave. "I was going to have twins too." She said before leaving the office, slamming the door behind her. She ignored Gene as he passed by and caught a cab planning to go pack up her things.

Gene had been feeling pretty good and back to normal. He and Ari discovered that it was merely a spell gone wrong that caused him to be back. Which he felt was a little bit anti-climactic since he was personally expecting something different. Yet he was happy that he knew why he was back. He was on his way to the office to see if there was a new case yet when he saw Mai leave the office before her normal time. Frowning he entered the building and looked around wondering what happened. He entered Naru's office.

"What did you do to her Noll?"

Naru looked up and glared at his brother. "Nothing."

"Bull, she looked like she had been crying. What did you say to her?" Gene was hoping he didn't break up with her, but then that would be the only reason she'd leave crying. "Don't tell me you broke up with her."

"Yes, I ended our relationship."

Gene let out a growl. "What is wrong with you?"

"I told her based off of the evidence I had come to the simplest conclusion that she loves you and not me."

"Are you a moron?!" He stopped and sighed. "I take that back you are a moron. I just didn't think that you were this stupid." He looked at Naru. "She loves you not me. I've confessed to her continuously after Australia and every single time she has turned me down. She tells me she loves me but she loves you, Noll, a whole hell of a lot more than me."

"If she loved me than why was she always with you?"

"Because your head was stuck so far up your own ass you didn't even pay attention to what was going on around you." Gene sighed. "Did you know she was pregnant?"

"She informed me before she departed that she was and lost them."

"And you don't even care?" Naru said nothing and Gene just shook his head. "She was too scared to tell you afraid of how you'd react. She didn't want you to be mad at her." He was starting to get frustrated not getting the response he hoped for with Naru. "You see, its things like this, this is what makes her unable to go to you. You really are an idiot scientist, brother." He turned and to leave. "If you don't make up with her soon then I can guarantee that I will take her and you will never be able to get her back." He left Naru's office to go find Mai.

He arrived at Naru's apartment knowing she'd be there. He wasn't surprised when he saw the door wide open and a suitcase was holding the door open. He entered the apartment and began to look around for Mai. It took a few moments but he found her crying in the bathroom holding her toothbrush and hair brush. "Mai." She stiffened before looking at him.

"Gene!" She cried and jumped up to hug him. He held tight on to her and rubbed her back soothingly. "Naru broke up with me!" She whined out.

"I know." He lifted her into his arms and sat down on top of the toilet. "He told me everything." Mai sobbed more clutching her things to her.

"Why would he do this? I thought he loved me? Why is he so hell bent on believing that I'm in love with you?"

"I don't know Mai. I really don't." He held her as she continued to sob crying her eyes out. It was a good fifteen minutes before she stopped. She looked up at him and he felt his heart clench. He hated the look on her face but then again it made him want her more than ever. "Forgive me Mai." He pulled her close and pressed his lips to hers in a firm chaste kiss. When he pulled away he immediately apologized. Mai gave no reply, she simply rested her head on him.

"I don't know what to do anymore. I'm ready to give up."

Gene sighed as much as he wanted her and for her to be his he knew he couldn't. "Give my brother time Mai. He's an idiot scientist. It takes things like this a little bit longer to process in his head."

"I'm tired of waiting Gene."

He couldn't believe what he was about to say but he still meant what he said to his brother. "May I ask you something?" Mai nodded. "If Naru doesn't come begging to have you back by the time this case ends, would you be willing to give us another try?"

Mai looked at him surprised but shook her head. "Gene that wouldn't be fair to you. I don't –"

"Forget about the rebound thing or anything else. I love you Mai and I want to do whatever it takes to make you happy. I love seeing a smile on your face." He brushed the hair out of her face. "Take the case to think it over. If you need more time after let me know." Mai smiled at him and he returned it.

"I'll think about it over the case." She kissed him on the cheek. "In the meantime would you help me pack? I have to be out of Naru's apartment."

"But you don't even have a place of your own anymore."

"I know. I just need to get out as soon as possible."

"Why not stay at my place? I have an extra room." Mai looked at him and he smiled. "Don't worry I'm not trying to sway your decision just yet." He stood up and placed her on the ground. "It's just until you get your own place again."

"Thank you Gene." She hugged him and the pair began to pack up her things. After a few hours they had her things packed up in boxes and ready to go.

"Alright let's put everything in the car." He lifted a box smiling.

"What car?"

"My car."

"I didn't know you had one."

"Yes, I got it not too long ago." He began to head to his car. After the two loaded it up with all of her belongings, Mai did a once over the apartment to make sure she didn't forget anything. She stood in the bedroom they once shared remembering everything that happened that night a while ago. They had gotten carried away and let things happen when they shouldn't have. The next morning he had apologized profusely and after she cried she told him it was her fault too. He promised they would take it slow and it wouldn't happen again until she was ready. She sighed. He kept his word and now their relationship was over, so it never would happen again. She sniffed once and turned out the lights and locked up. She removed his key from her key chain and slipped it under the door. She headed down to Gene's car and got in. It hurt a lot to see her like this and he knew she was hurting a lot but there was nothing to be done. Naru had made his decision and it was final.
