To everyone who reads my other stories, I haven't had time to spend on fanfiction, so this is a very short story, written in my spare time...

I don't own ghost hunt!

Sometimes, we are oblivious to the effect we have on others, with devastating results. And sometimes, the worst thing you can do, is leave people behind... If only Mai knew, there would be a tomorrow... If only she knew, there was other ways...

It was dark. Mai looked at the lake, her reflection staring back at her. It sickened her. She didn't want to look at herself. All she saw was flaws and imperfections, but she couldn't look away. She closed her eyes, but images flooded her memory. Images she would rather forget. 'Me or Gene?' He asked. It was such a simple question, but when it came to giving her answers, her mouth was dry. She hadn't the power to form words, nor the knowledge to give a conclusive answer. She felt stupid, foolish, a waste of space, time and energy. Rejection had hit her hard.

Tears obscured her vision, and the cold made her bere arms and legs num. Mai didn't notice. Her emotional pain easily distracting her.

All the times she had seen Gene, smiling at her, taking her hand and warming her heart. She felt betrayed. He had lied to her. But this unbearable pain was rivaled with get another.

Naru had managed to affect her in ways no one else could. He could make her blush, just by looking her way. He could make her cry, just by being upset with her, and he destroy her, just by leaving...

Mai opened her eyes, looking back at herself, looking for an answer to her current dilemma. She couldn't think of any... Going back to her life before meeting Naru, was easier said then done. It was lonely, without anyone.

Mai wished she could ask her parents... they would know what to do.

Mai leaned over the lake, but she wasn't scared. She leaned more, feeling herself fall forward. It was too late to stop herself, as she closed her eyes in anticipation...

She hit the water, her body felt like she was being stabbed all over...

She couldn't feel, she couldn't think, she couldn't even tell which way was up...

Her lungs filled with water, and they burned...

Mai felt the last of her life drain away...
