A/N: Such a long time with this story…

Finally out!

Faint

. .Faint.

That is my number one rule.

If you could call it a rule."Such a weakling: fainting at the sight of ghosts." said Masako, her kimono covering what I seem to be a smile of mock. I almost pointed out that she's known for fainting at the sight of ghosts. Almost. To be honest, I have heard of Masako a lot, as the Japanese fainting idol.

At least Mai has an excuse- she never wanted to be involved with ghosts. Masako, well, that's her job. And if you suggest that she's only popular for her beauty, well I'm much more handsome and I had to work hard to get here, using my undoubtedly high IQ of course. So. Did. Gene. No one asked Gene to go on a TV show just because he had a nice face, and no publisher asked to publish my childhood scribbles because of the same reason. So why is such a talentless girl so popular? Who cares anyway?

I put my book down on my lap, just to rub my eyes, only to find it missing two seconds later.

"Miss Hara, do care to give my book back."

-"You sure are boring." She answered, squinting at the much 'complicated' words.

-"I certainly don't consider this to be any of your business, especially since your knowledge of English words proves us different."

-"Yes indeed we are different, but don't you consider it amusing that my troubling knowledge of you has brought us together?"

-"Amusing it may be. Especially for you Miss Hara, but I do find this rather 'amusing' relationship to be a waste of my time."

-"You may think of it that harshly, but as a matter of fact, you have no other choice but to play along."

-"I do have a choice, many choices in fact. But I do find that standing you is the less troubling option. And if I do decide to take this matter more seriously, you, Miss Hara, will suffer the most. Please do consider your made up reputation."

"And before I forget, Miss Hara, I think this Monday would be of a great time to go out for dinner."

It really doesn't matter whether people find out who I am. I really couldn't care less. The reason that I don't want them to find out is because of Gene. I mean, what would happen to him if the person doing this to him gets paranoid at another 'Gene' on the loose?And about Masako, a recording of this conversation will do enough. But I really don't want to take it that far. I just thought that she should know her limits, before nosing into my life with the thoughts that she can just 'blackmail' in.

I was taking her to dinner that Monday. Of course, nothing goes without a plan in my head.

Nothing without a plan indeed.

For the first time, I'm actually looking forward to having dinner with a girl. Maybe because I'm a genius with genius plans, and is matter is exciting me enough to show my 'genius' potential.

"Where am I?" I turned my head to the small voice that distracted me from my thoughts, thinking that Mai is finally awake.

"You're in the old-" I started, but cut off.

"But I have no other choice Gene." said Mai.

"It's not your fault." In response, I could hear my brother's voice. I shot up from my seat, my own reaction surprising me, and maybe Masako.
"Gene?" Was all I could make out. This was impossible! But how?

"O-Oliver?"

And this time, it was my turn to faint. Do not take me literally.

A/N: So? Thoughts? I am looking forward to writing the dinner scene too Noll. Indeed we shall proceed with our evil plans against Masako Hara :)!
