as soon as Mai saw the blood on the mirror she fell backwards as hers eyes slowly closed, naru being the one closest to her caught her before she hit the floor. "Mai are you okay" he called his voice still the same naru-like voice filled with the slightest hint of worry, but only Lin realized that. After turning to Mai the others realized that she wasn't answering, Ayako, being the 'doctor' that she is, pushed everyone of the way to check her pulses. "it's okay" she stated "she just fainted". after everyone found out she was okay they let out the breath they never realized they were holding.

"lets return to the base for now" replied Naru,he then sighed trying to figure out if he should carry mai or leave her, he decided to carry, the others were surprised because Naru the Narcissists was carrying someone who fainted and taking her to the base, at the door he made one quick glance at the bloody mirror to see exactly what it said, to all their surprise it was different from what the others had said. it read "i'm...murderer...i'll kill ...again" the sad part is that they had no idea who the message was for nor what exactly the message meant, some thought it was for Mai since she was the only one in the room when the ghost decided to show it's appearance to her. Others on the other hand thought that it was for someone in the house, but they decided to finish the discussion in the base where they could check the monitors and continue with interviews. Mai on the other hand was not enjoying her time.

Mai opened her eyes or at least she thought she did only to find out that she was dreaming and was greated as always by dream Naru who wore a worried expression on his face. "Naru" she said sleepily, worriness seeping into her as she looked around. "Mai, you're in danger" he said to her"huh" was her reply, "no, i'm not leaving if thats what you wanted to say, i can't, i'm not leaving until the case is solved" Replied Mai determinely he shook his head at her then said "i know, but please be careful, and your not the only one she's after, she's after real Naru"...he paused there, unsure of what to say next or if he should continue what he was saying. his face seemed somewhat conflicted. "Naru?" asked mai as she went to give him a hug, apparently to calm him down a little. to no surprise it worked, after he calmed down he looked at Mai and then said for her to tell Naru be careful because he is a target and because of his history. he also said for her to tell him she killed Gene and that she's after Naru now. When she asked who gene was he didn't answer, he just said to tell "real Naru" and he should tell her about it, then he vanished and she woke up.

"N..Naru" said Mai as she opened her eyes to be face to face with him as he turned to see her. all of a sudden she immediately sat up and felt dizzy but refused to lay back on the chair "N...Naru she's after you, she's after us" shouted Mai when she remembered her conversation with dream Naru, to Naru's horror her face was an inch away from his (of course from afar it would seem like they were kissing). when she realized their position her head an inch from his, his right hand on the chair as he was eye level with her, she could also feel his cool breath on her face and the same vice could b said versa a blush made it's way across her cheeks, then he stood up, slightly red(almost invisible...though lin did see it when the others walked in talking about the case, as always Bou-san and Ayako was arguing and Maskao was sending dagger glares at Mai because she thought they were kissing. If it wasn't for a ghost, they woulod have been scared of her and the deathly aura she was omitting.

"Mai.. what did you see?" asked Naru as he got his favorite black notebook and a black pen to write with, Mai on the other hand just looked at him before repeating herself "she's after you because of you family and who you look like.. though i don't really know what that means" she replied with her index finger on her chin. "and she's after me because.. uhm, i don't know i didn't have a chance to ask" she continued. Naru on the other hand was shocked (not that he showed it) 'family, who i look like, could it be Gene's killer?' he thought to himself. "what else did you learn?" "uhm, that was it because i woke up " she replied, "but still, why is the ghost after me?" she thought out loud "maybe because you are careless and love to find trouble" replied Naru half troubled but at the same time the same way he always talk, in his narcisstic tone."and because you have a big neon sign at on your forehead saying please attack me, hurt me, whatever you do just make it dangerous so my boss will save me" added Bou-san in her ears, a grin forming an his face as he sat down on the opposite chair. When he said that Mai blushed, and i don't mean your everyday blush, i mean a blush that make you look like your face was paINTED red.

" Mitsuzuki san can you stay with Mai" she'll need to be watched over" said Naru, his commanding tone, of course the way he said it made it seem bad for Mai, i mean seriously he said it like she was a child and could not take care of herself, boy was she furious. "i can take care of myself thank you very much" she said to Naru as she crossed her arm and huffed. "really, then how come you nearly got hurt when the ghost attacked earlier?" countered Naru as he gazed at his notebook. "hey, that was different" she replied "in either case you need all the protection you can get" after he said that Mai blushed only to get flushed after what he said next " i don't need to have an injured assistant or disabled one for that matter, niether do i want to have to find another one, it would be to troublesome" when he finished saying that she was on the verge of plummeling him to death only to be held back by Bou-san "oh and Bou-san" he said before walking out with Lin, "i need you to stick with them both, i'm not sure to what extent i can rely on Mitsuzuki san " he then asked John to take care of Hara-san as he walked out the door to check on somethings with Lin. Ayako, like mai was becoming pissed, Bou-san became the mediator for the two trying to calm them down.

later on

"ah that Jerk, who does he think he is?" said Mai as she made her way to her room, it appears she was getting tired as it was already becoming late, 10:50 to be precise. As she opened her room she was surprise to see non other than Naru, "ah.. N.nnNaru what are you doing here" she asked as a blush spread across her cheeks when he faced her. "we're sharing the room Mai" he simply stated as he looked at two different papers, she blushed but still made her way to the bed. "ahm.n.naru?" "hm" he answered back before taking a glance at her, "how, are we going to work this out, there's no futon and it's cold, so where are you" she gulped "going to sl, sleep?" she asked He looked at her then smirked, a thought came to his head. "the bed of course" he said as-amatter-of-factly, mai on the other hand was ready to explode. "demo.. ano, etto" she couldn't even think straight nor make cohorent sentence. Naru smirked at the idea but then said that he has work so if he sleeps it will be on the chair.

"what.. but thats not comfortable and it's bad for you" replied mai, "Mai i'll be fine, i still have work to do so you shouldn't concern yourself with unnecessary thoughts" replied Naru as as he returned to his work, Mai on the other hand would not hear of it. "Naru you can't do that, you'll get sick, you can" she paused and gulped "we can share the bed" she said as a blush appeared on her cheeks for the hundredth time that day, Naru slightly blushed as he looked at Mai before she jumped up and went to her bags to look for her sleeping clothes, but... there was none. Mai groaned as she sat on the floor, Naru looked at her with raised eye brows as she answered his unasked question. " i left my sleeping clothes at home since i was in a rush and i don't want to sleep in these clothes" she said as she pointed to the clothes she was wearing. Naru rolled his eyes before he walked over to his things and pulled out a long black tea shirt. "Here" he said, "you can use this" this while he avoided her face and went str8 back to what he was doing. Mai blushed and i mean BLUSHED, even naru could see it (well if he was looking)( i mean who wouldn't, especially if you're wearing your crush's shirt and especially when that person so happens to be Naru) she took it and changed into it, because of height difference it fitted her light a dress, it reached her to her knees, she got a short pants she had and put it underneath before she went to sleep, of course still blushing like a maniac(ha if only you could see it) Naru on the other hand was looking at her warmly, boy was he falling, slowly but surely, he was falling in love. (Not that he'll admit it, hell he's stubborn, ego statical and self-centered, i mean can you believe he's falling for someone like Mai and care for someone other than himself)!! little did they know, the nightmares, was just about to begin.
