I was just finishing up making dinner with Kino when we finally heard the doorbell ring. I quickly dried my hands and walked over to the door. "Hey you guys, come on in." I said as I opened the door. Everyone was out there including Keith but what I saw was everyone surrounding Naru and Keith who were just standing facing each other glaring at each other.

"Mai!" Ayako said as she stepped around them and hugged me. Naru and Keith finally pulled away. Everyone gave me a hug before they entered. Keith finally turned away from Naru towards me.

"Hey there, Mai," he said as he leaned down to kiss me. I turned my face slightly so he didn't kiss me on my lip but on my cheeks. Keith leaned back up and smiled at me. "Something smells good! I hope I get firsts!"

"Now Keith, you know that Kino always gets the first serving." I laughed as I turned to Naru who was still outside. "Hello Naru, come on in" I said held open the door for him. Keith slipped his arm around my waist again. I also noticed that Naru was glaring at my waist where Keith had his arm around me.

"Well let's go eat, I'm starved!" he said as he pulled me away from Naru and steered me into the kitchen were everyone was already sitting down.

"Mmm, Mai something smells good!" Monk said as sniffed in the sent of my cooking.

"Hey Kino helped too!" I interjected.

"Oh come on, I barely did anything except cut up a few carrots and stuff."

"And you did a wonderful job!" I said as I bumped my shoulder to hers playfully. She smiled at me and then went to the cupboard and got out bowls. I pour everyone a bowl and Kino placed them on the table. Everyone took their seats and started eating.

When I got my bowl and turned around I saw that there was only one spot left at my table. Right in between Naru and Keith. I let out a small sigh and took my seat in between them. I could have sworn that they got closer to me. We all made small talk (except for Naru and Lin of course). I made sure I was caught up with everyone. I placed my hands on the table and I felt Keith get a hold of my right hand. Naru suddenly stood up.

"Naru?"

"I have work to do unlike the rest of you." he said and walked to the sink and placed his bowl in the sink and walked into the living room. We all watched him as he walked away from us. I felt a pain in my stomach. He could have at least be nice enough to stay seated with us.

Follow him Mai. I don't think he's happy.

Why wouldn't he be happy, Gene?

I think you know why. I glanced at my hand that Keith had put his hand on. And for some reason I'm getting a bad feeling from this guy named Keith.

What do you mean?

I don't know. I can't tell what it is.

Maybe it's because he's not Naru and you don't want me with Keith.

I would be happy to say that but I'm serious. I have a bad feeling about him.

You just might be overreacting.

I hope so too, Mai. But please go talk to Naru. I'd talk to him but he has blocked me out.

After a few second of silence I answered back. Fine, I'll go talk to him.

Thanks little sis.

No prob, hey! But he was already gone. I sighed and stood up. I felt Keith's hand tighten a little bit. But I pulled away from him and walked to where Naru had disappeared to. I took me a while but I found him in Kino's room looking over the camera that he had most likely just set up.

"Naru?" I said as I closed the door behind me. He didn't even look back at me when I closed it. "Naru?" he opened his black little note book and started writing notes down. "Naru!" I said louder as I stepped in front of him. He walked around me. That fucking does it! I thought angrily as I pulled his arm and whipped him around so he could face me.

"What is up with you Naru? Why won't you talk to me or even look at me?"

We stood there for like a minute, but it seemed like hours. He was glaring at me and I was glaring back at him. He tried to look away but I quickly grabbed his head and turned him to face me. Since he was still a bit taller than me I lifted my head with my chin high. I was staring straight into his blue icy eyes when suddenly I felt something hard press against my lips. I blinked in utterly shocked. I couldn't move. I just stood there with my eyes open wide as he kissed me. He's kissing me! Naru is…Naru is kissing me! I suddenly knew what was going on. I quickly pushed him away from me. I slowly reached up to my lips.

"Mai," he said softly. I quickly looked back up at him. His once icy blues eyes were now soft.

"Don't…Don't you ever do that again." I said as I glared at him. Which caught him off guard.

"Mai, I'm…"

"Don't." I said as I walked past him. When I reached the door I had my hand on the handle and turned around to see him staring at me. "You lost your chance when you told me that I was in love with your dead twin brother." I opened the door and stepped out. "I loved you. I still kind of do." I looked back at him. "But you can't just think you can walk back into my life and expect me to just forgive those hurtful words." I slowly closed the door. You'll have to try with everything that you can to win me back. I still love you but I'll make you work to win my love back.

I quietly walked to my bedroom when I noticed Lin walking towards me. "Oh hi Lin!" I said hiding my face with a smile.

"Hello Mai."

"Is Madoka going to be joining us on this case?" he shook his head and had this small smile on his face.

"No she is not." I gave him my questioning look. "Mai, me and Madoka are going to be parents soon!"

"Oh, wow! Really? That is so amazing! Congratulations!" I said as I gave him a hug but I was surprised that he hugged me back!

"Thank you Mai. I'm sure Madoka would be happy to hear from you."

"Ah, yes! I should give her a call!" I said as I started walking to my room.

"Um, Mai?" I turned around to look back at Lin. "Do you know where I can find Naru?"

"Uh, yeah. He's in that room over there." I said as I pointed to Kino's room. I was about to turn around again when Lin spoke again.

"He really does love you. He always had." then I heard the doors close. I stood there thinking. IF he loved me then why would he say a such thing of me accusing of me loving his deceased twin brother? I walked into my room, I sighed as I close the door. I suddenly felt a cold chill pass through me. Then I felt as though as someone one was breathing behind me.

"You've been cheating on me Mai." I heard it say. I couldn't say anything or scream. "You'll pay for that." I felt cold hands on my legs. Then I screamed.
