Ai-chan: Yahoo! Long time no see! Or should it be short time no see? Oh well anyway, here I present the next chappie!

Italic – Thoughts

Italic + Underline – Gene talking to Naru

Mai's POV

When I first saw Naru's and Lin's apartment, my jaw literally hit the floor. Naru carry me into a room and placed me on the bed. "I have brought some of your necessities here. This will be your room," Naru informed and left the room. I lay on the bed and it is very comfy and incredibly bouncy. Too bad I'm injured… I sighed as I stare at the ceiling. My eyes started to become heavy and I unconsciously close my eyes; drifting into dreamland.

Mai's Dream

"Hey Mai!" Gene greeted as he stood in front of me. "Hi," I said with a wave. "Come, I'll help you gain more of your memory with that idiot scientist. Before you ask who the idiot scientist is," Gene cut me off, "He is my idiotic twin."

I watched myself conversing with Naru who carried a box before settling it down. This place is… the labyrinth-like mansion! Urado's case! Then the scene changes into a different one and this time, Naru is in a hospital. I saw a black haired girl with a woman and her friend it seems. From her outfit, I realized that she is from Yuasa high School.

The scene changes once again and I saw myself eyeing Masako who is clinging to Naru. What is this weird feeling? Masako has a queer expression painting here face but Naru is still emotionless.

The scene finally faded and I saw Gene standing in front of me once again. "So?" he said in a questioning manner. "Well, now I remember everything from the first, third, fourth and seventh case. I wonder how many more do I have to remember?" I replied then asked. "Well, that is for me to know and you to find out!" Gene answered with an exceedingly aggravating grin. "Mou~ meanie…" I complained. "Time to wake up Mai. That idiot scientist is trying to wake you up," Gene said. "Bye… see you soon?" I said but it turned out to be a question at the end. "Yes, soon," Gene replied and I woke up.

My twin brown orbs met azure blue ones. "Dinner, if you are hungry," Naru stated and left the room. I wheeled myself to the dining room and the smell of food hit y nose; causing me to almost drool. I saw Naru and Lin already seated around the table and I immediately went there. We ate in silence when I decided to break it. "Nee… Naru… can I ask you something?" I enquired. "You are already asking me something," Naru pointed out.

I blushed in embarrassment and exclaimed, "Why you-?!"

"Are you incapable of finishing your sentence Mai?" Naru inquired as he lifted an elegant eyebrow.

"Jerk… anyway why do you always wear black?" I questioned.

"It's none of your business," Naru answered curtly.

"Fine… I'll just ask Gene later… idiot scientist…" I mumbled. I noticed that Naru suddenly became rigid. "That stupid medium…" he muttered almost inaudible. I saw Lin shaking his head out of the corner of my eye.

Naru's POV

I looked at Mai's sleeping form. She looked like an angel…

Ohoho… so my little brother finally admitted that you like Mai?

I did not.

Well you did think that Mai is beautiful… Are you getting attracted to her?

No and get out of my mind.

I will be back soon LITTLE BROTHER~

I sighed and started to shake Mai when her hazel eyes; that I love so much but I will never admit that of course; fluttered open. "Dinner, if you are hungry," I stated shortly and left the room. Her rumpled state made me aroused. What cause me to act and feel this…? Her brown eyes captivate me. Other girls never made me act like this before. Ever since I met her that day in the school building, I started to have this weird feeling. Her cherry red lips made me want to kiss her. Wait! What am I thinking?!

Admit it, YOU LOVE HER.

Shut it stupid medium.

Oh I know you want her. Her cherry red lips, her fair complexion, her auburn hair which is so soft like silk. I wonder how she will look like without her clothes. Her- (A/N: Okay! CUT! Stop him Noll!)

SHUT THE F (A/N: No bad words Noll! Naru: Tch… fine.) SHUT IT GENE!

Shaking my head, I sat on the chair and was about to started eating when Mai came in. We ate in silence when Mai, being her curious self, started asking.

I started to annoy her on purpose. I'll definitely miss this time… Too bad she is not smiling right now… I miss her smile… not that I'll admit it to her.

Oh I will tell her later Noll.

Don't you dare…

Oh I will.

I was about to retort back to Gene and he closed of the connection. "That stupid medium…" I growled but keep my emotionless mask on. I stare at Mai's emotionless face which usually has that bright smile before.

Ai-chan: Okay then… the next chapter will involve more about Mai's illness. Want to know? Should I tell you? Nah~ so wait for my next chappie in a few days. Please tell me what you think about this chapter. Ta ta~
