"Kino," I said as I looked up to see her enter the room.

"What is it Mai?"

"I'm really sorry about all of this. If I…if only we hadn't met then this wouldn't…" Kino lifted her hand to stop me from talking. She walked up slowly to me.

"Sorry Ki…" Kino quickly raised her hand and slapped me right across the face. I quickly grabbed Naru's arm and held him back. I didn't have to look up at him to know that he was angry with Kino for slapping me. But I knew that I deserved and needed it. I looked back at Kino to see tears falling from her eyes. I gently wiped them off. She did the same for me for I was starting to cry as well.

"I don't want to hear you say such things again like that Mai. Even though all this is happening don't for one second wish that we had never met. You are my best friend and you are very dear to me. The only thing I wish is for that ghost stalker for yours to leave you alone. If I could I would give him the greatest ass-whopping anyone in the history of ass-whooping had ever received!"

I was trying so hard not to laugh but then Kino kicked her leg and made one of her "special" sound effect noises. I was holding my stomach like it was about to burst. Naru quickly led me to the couch and sat me down.

Are you sure you aren't trying to kill her yourself Kino?" Naru asked coldly.

Oh come on Naru, Mai needs a good laugh, right Mai?" I couldn't speak yet so I just nodded my head.

Wait, since when have you been able to speak to the both of us at the same time?

I stopped laughing because I just realized that too. "Oh yeah, how is that?

"I guess it's probably because either the ghost isn't here or Eugene and you guys are more connected now." Kino said.

Me and Naru looked up at her and said, "Kino?"

"Uh-oh"

"Looks like the secret it out Kino!"

"Gene you knew?" again Naru and I spoke at the same time.

"Uh, yeah."

"How long?" Naru asked coldly.

"Since the first time the ghost attacked Mai."

"So does anyone want to tell me what is going on here? And how do yo guys know each other?"

"Well isn't it quite obvious?" Naru said annoyingly. I gave him a hard nudge which he gave me a glare for.

"Well not really, no."

"Hey Mai I have an idea! I want you and Kino to turn to each other and hold each other's hand and close your eyes."

"Um okay." Kino and I said.

"What do you want us to do after that?" Kino said.

"Okay well Mai you have seen me before so I want you to picture me in your head, Kino I want you to do that thing we were working on."

"Okay," We both said.

"What were you working on?" Naru asked.

"You'll see." Naru started grumbling to himself. Gene let out a small chuckle.

"Alright girls, do it now and concentrate real hard."

Kino and I closed our eyes and concentrates. I soon started to feel something coming off of my skin. It was like we were giving off energy. I soon heard Naru gasp.

I opened my eyes and I saw Kino open hers too. We turned and saw Naru and Gene. But suddenly I guess something hit us at the same time because we both felt very weak and we fell to the floor.

"Mai!" I heard Naru say.

"Kino!" I heard Gene say.

"Whoa! Am I seeing two Naru's?" Kino said softly. I looked at her confusedly.

"Gene," I said softly

"Hiya Mai!"

"Gene?" Kino said as she tried to stand up. Naru helped me onto the couch. Gene did the same to Kio.

"Gene, you can touch solid things?" I asked as I tried to sit closer to Kino.

"Now I can!" he said happily.

'Would someone please care to explain what's going on and why Eugene looks like Naru?"

"Oh yeah, I may have forgotten to tell you that I'm Naru's older twin brother!" Gene said while laughing with his hand behind his head.

"Gene," I said in my best cold, calm voice. Well being around Naru taught me how to make my voice more terrifying then someone who is yelling. "Is there something that you would like to explain to all of us?"

"Oh well you see, after the first attack I tried to reach you but the ghost was keeping me from getting to you and I somehow found myself wondering into Miss, Kino's" he said as he pointed to Kino, "head. She seems to have almost the same psychic abilities like you Mai. So I tried talking to her instead."

"Almost scared the living life out of me!" Kino said as she placed a hand over her heart.

"Anyways, so when were anyone of you guys planning on telling me about anything?" I asked as I glared at them.

"Well we were but then a lot of things were going on." Gene said as he looked at me with sad eyes. Man, it's so weird to see someone who looks like Naru making sad eyes. I know Naru would never do anything like that. I looked over at Kino who was giving me her 'special' puppy eyes. After a long pause of silence I let out a long frustrated sigh. "Fine, but next time don't leave me in the dark."

"We promise!" they both yelled happily.

"So, Gene, would you like to explain how MaKino and I were able to do what they just did?" I almost jumped because I forgot that Naru was behind me. He can be so quiet that you would forget he was even there.

"Well brother, it's a little complicated, but while I was roaming around the world I just so happened to pass by some people with psychic abilities and I watched them as they helped a ghost manifest into a solid figure. So I thought we should give it a shot. And it worked!"

"Well it's nice to see you again Gene! I've missed you!" I said as I stood up quickly, I felt a sudden rush to my head and almost fell. Thankfully Naru caught me.

"Thanks," he just nodded his head. Well what else did I expect him from him? He is Naru after all and this IS the man that I fell in love with a long time ago.

I was about to speak up when I felt my phone vibrate. I took it out of my pocket; it was a text message from Keith saying that they were on their way back home.

"Um Gene, I think you shouldn't be seen right now." I said as I looked out the window keeping an eye out for the car.

"Alright but I'll try and help you guys as much as I can. But this ghost is strong."

"Do you know what he looks like?" Naru asked as he stood up from the couch.

"Sorry bro, but he won't even let me catch a glimpse of him. But I'll keep trying."

"Thanks Gene."

"Alright bye you guys."

"Bye Gene," Kino and I said.

"See ya Kino and little sister."

"Eugene!" I looked away as a small blush started forming on my cheeks. I saw Eugene laugh as he disappeared and Kino laughing.

"Well I guess we should at least start cleaning up this mess." Kino said as she stood up and walked to the kitchen to clean up.

I walked away from the window and started picking up the roses and started ripping them and putting them into the trash bags.

"You should be gentler Mai."
"Well I don't accept flowers from strangers at all. Besides," I said as I grabbed more roses off the table and ripped them, "He isn't even treating me right with this "lovely," I aired quoted the word lovely, "brain tumor."

"You'll be fine." He said as I heard him walk over to me. "We will get rid of this ghost, along with the tumor. I promise." He said as he pulled me into a hug. Even after all these years of absence, I could still remember how good it felt to be in his strong arms, even though all those times it was only because he was trying to protect me. Oh and did I forget to mention how good he smelled.

"You do know I still haven't fully forgiven you, right?" I felt him chuckle before he lifted my chin up.

"Well it looks like I have to work even harder to win you over." He said with his very rare, very handsome smirk.

"Yes you do." I smiled at him as he leaned down and placed his strong but yet gentle lips on my lips. This time I kissed him back. I lifted my hands up to his raven hair. I felt one of his hands go up from my back to the back of my head. He was pushing my head closer to him.

Suddenly I felt him open his mouth and touch my lips with his tongue. That surprised me and he was able to slip his tongue into my mouth. I swear I almost melted. It felt so good and right. I decided to surprise him back and I slipped my tongue into his mouth and I almost laughed when I heard him gasp. We kept at it for awhile before we finally pulled away, gasping for air.

Naru leaned his head down so his forehead touched mine. "I love you Mai." I smiled and gave a quick kiss on his cheek.

"You'll have to do better than that." For the first time ever, I saw Naru truly smile with his eyes.

"What in the bloody hell is this?"


Ooohhh, I wonder who said that? Well I do actually! But do you? What is going on? Where is Madoka when you need her? I have written a short special story of Ayako and Madoka's wedding. Let me know if you want me to put that up too!
