Mai's POV

'Wait What?!' I inwardly yelled. Eye twitching and fists clenched I kept my voice calm. "I never said I was still working for you Naru." I said, a little peeved he just continued to make decisions for me.

"I don't remember you sending in a two weeks' notice. Even in England I would have gotten one." He said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I asked Madoka not to send it to you, but to your father. Now if you'll excuse me, I have homework." I said bitterly and turned to walk off. I heard Lin say something and Naru stop him. I heard him turn away and start walking.

'Take the case Mai' I heard Genes voice echo in my mind. I froze.

'Gene?... But I thought…' I stopped before I could say the words.

'Just because they've buried me doesn't mean I'm not still around. I still have finished business.' He said. I could hear the smirk on his face. I inwardly rolled my eyes and kept walking home.

'I'm curious…but I won't ask.' I groaned inwardly as I unlocked my door. I heard him laugh as he appeared in my apartment where I could see him. I sat at my desk and started my homework.

"Awww but I want you to ask!" He practically yelled in my ear. I sighed and shot him a look, silently asking just to appease him. "I~ still have to make sure Noll is happy. With the girl of his dreams." He started. I just rolled my eyes.

"And you're telling me this…why?" I asked as I worked. That's when he chuckled and sat on my couch, I'm surprised he didn't fall through it. I snorted at the thought and thankfully he ignored it.

"Because! ~ You're his dream girl Mai." He said matter-of-factly. I froze in the paper I had started writing and looked at him.

"What?..." I said softly, unable to process what he said for a minute, "Gene if you're fucking wi-" I started and he cut me off, waving his hands quickly as he saw me quickly get defensive.

"No no no! I'm serious…I see into his head too Mai…You're all he thought about in England…" He said, I quickly turned back to my desk. I had so many questions…SO many…

"What did he…think…about me…?" I said quietly, almost in a whisper. He smiled softly.

"Things like…'Wonder where she is…What she's doing. Is she ok? Why did I say what I said…" He only said a few before changing to ones that sounded more like him, "Even though he kept doubting himself…and his feelings…always saying you were just an assistant. That you were stupid and clumsy…He had an inner turmoil ya know. You did a number on him in the time he was here Mai…" He said gently.

I stayed quiet and he sighed, slowly disappearing into my head once again. I tried to focus on work but just…couldn't...now… I started to see tears hit the desk. 'When did I start crying…' I thought then shook my head, sighing.

I went to take a shower, only to hear ticking coming from behind the door.

"What…?" I said out loud to myself.

'Mai you need to run!' I heard Gene scream at me. He sounded terrified.

I didn't listen. Instead I slowly pushed the door open. All I saw was a message saying, 'You're Mine Mai' and hearing Gene screaming for me to run before I was thrown back, everything in slow motion as I fell out the window, then into the darkness as I felt something warm engulf me.

'Naru….' Was the only thought I had.

Naru's POV

I offered her to come on a case with us again. But really the case was HER. Some kid had called, saying she was in danger and at first, I thought it was a prank but the- "Noll!" I heard my annoying twin spring up, interrupting my thoughts.

"What." I said bitterly, not really paying attention.

"Mai's in trouble!" He yelled. I stopped my anger and listened.

"What happened this time." I said keeping composure. Until he told me what happened that is. "WHAT?!" I instantly stood as the door slammed open.

"Noll that's enough!" I heard Lin say. I clenched my fists and slowly clamed my powers down.

"Lin, get the car. We're going to the hospital." I said. He just blinked before going to start the car. I followed shortly.

Mai's POV

It was dark…and cold…I could smell fire…I heard sirens. I slowly stood up and looked around before looking down. I gasped and covered my mouth and gasped, shaking

"I…Am i…" I couldn't even finish my sentence.

"No honey…you're still alive…" I suddenly heard my mothers voice. Her soft…angel like voice. I turned and hugged her.

"Momma…what happened…and who…" I started. She just pet my head.

"Shhh…You should know…You're brother did warn you…" She said. My eyes widened. The boy from before…with the missing cheek…

"Brother…" I whispered, "Riku…" Suddenly my eyes stung as tears fell. She just pet my head.

"Shhh…he's asleep now…" she said softly. I nodded gently and she slowly disappeared as the ambulance skidded to a stop.

They picked up my body and I groaned. They put me in the back and sped off. I followed my body quickly.

"Is she awake?" I heard a familiar voice. 'Naru…' I thought.

"Not yet I'm afraid…Her highness suffered a horrible head injury…" I heard who I guess the doctor is. 'Shit! Why'd you have to say that…'

"Highness?" I heard Naru ask quizzingly. The doctor cleared his throat.

"If you'll excuse me…I have other patients to tend to sir…" He said, and I heard his feet quickly retreat. Inwardly groaning I heard Naru tell Line to find out what he meant. I could only assume the tall Chinese man nod and heard the door close.

"I know you're awake. Probably can't move though. The case we had involved you idiot." He said, 'What…?' "We got a tip from someone that you were being hunted down. At first, I thought it was a prank call. Considering we're a Paranormal research team. Not detectives. But the Gene decided to show me into your dream. The voice sounded like that of the boy who told you to run."

'Riku…' I felt a tear fall. Then a thumb gently brushing it away. "When I realized a ghost was who called it in…I had to figure out what he meant. So, I started doing some research after you so rudely walked away from me. A man by the name of Riku Hamachi. Died at age 22 by blunt force trauma and blood loss. Body found with a chuck of his cheek missing and a dent in his head." He said. I clenched my fists as more tears fell, 'Stop…no more Naru…' I thought.

"He was warning you Mai. Why didn't you listen to him." He sighed out.

Naru's POV

I knew she may yell at me when she woke up. But I didn't care at this point. I continued telling her of the man that she saw in the form of a child. I saw tears starting to fall which meant she knew the man. 'Who the hell is he' I thought. Sighing I heard the door open. Ayako, Monk, John and Masako all entered, Yasuhara not far behind. Madoka soon following with Lin who had a file.

"Oh dear god…" Father brown said, going over to Mai.

"Jou-chan…" Monk said quietly, and all Ayako could manage was a small whimper. I noticed a small bump her hand was laying on. A baby…Great. I looked at Lin who lead me out as the others sat around her. I followed.

"Her medical file…it's all I have right now. I don't think there's much more on her more than this…"

I opened it and read,

Mai Taniyama age 19.

Mother: Mairu Taniyama. Age: 40-Deceased.

I stopped. "Her father is unknown. As well as her background. But there are multiple pages of seems to be abuse related visits." Lin said. I nodded in agreement.

"Lin. Make up my guest room." I said and stood. He looked at me shocked. "She needs a place that's safe. Before she gets herself killed." I said and went back into the room. Ayako was in tears. Masako was quiet as always. Yasuhara was blabbering about something. But when I looked at Mai, my heart broke. 'Damnit…Why do I even care this much'

'You like her that's why' I heard my twin say for the umpteenth time today. I didn't respond. I just silently watched as she slept.

Ok! So I know this may seemed rushed but I'm just really excited to get into my backstory for her.

I understand some people don't like OOC but honestly I just like making my own AU's to animes and shows I've seen or books I've read. I'm trying to keep Naru as himself the best I can. I may slip(I know I must've already) but that's just me tbh.

Thank you for reading! More to come!
