In a library somewhere in Japan two people sat reading book after book. They were getting frustrated with no results of what they were searching for. The male closed his book and let out an irritated sigh.

"Any luck?" The male asked his female companion.

"No, nothing." She slammed the book closed. "There has to be a reason you're back." She pinched the bridge of her nose thinking and preventing a headache from frustration.

"Maybe were looking in the wrong area?"

"Gene, it's paranormal. Obviously not."

"I know, but I thought that maybe we could try something else."

"You know I'm not wrong. We just have to figure out what caused it. There has to be something anything."

"Hey Ari?"

"Yes?"

"How about we take a break? I mean we've been here for hours." He suggested.

She let out a sigh. "I suppose a break may do us some good. It'd give me time to figure things out and clear my head."

Gene smiled at his sister. "Great let's go."

"After we put the books away."

Gene sighed. "Right."

They both stood and put the books back where they found them. They soon left the library and headed toward their rented apartment.

"Ari, what if we don't find out how I got back? What if it was meant to happen?" He was tired of research and was starting to care less about why he was back.

"Gene, look, There is a reason. It'll just take some time for us to figure it out."

"That's what you said a year and a half ago!" Gene exclaimed. He was flustered with it all.

They entered the building and got onto the elevator and headed up to their apartment.

"I know what I said, but I have to know." She said softly.

"You always have to know." He grumbled out.

"Of course I do. Especially since I'm here without a memory." She sighed and the rest of the time to their apartment was silent. They entered and both sat on the couch.

"I'm sorry Ari. I know you hate not having a memory." He hugged her and she sighed then hugged him back.

"It's fine. Just give me some more time." She looked at him. "Just because you're back doesn't mean you get to stay."

He sighed. "I know." He released her and slouched on the couch. "I don't like the sound of it."

"Don't worry we'll figure things out soon enough."

"Yea." He said now upset with the reminder of him not being a permanent being again.

"How about we –"She was cut off by her cell phone. "Hello?" She listened to the person on the phone. "Yes, we'll be there. Expect us at 10 AM sharp." She was silent another moment then "Good-bye." She looked to her brother. "I just got some news."

"Who was it?"

"That was Mai." She saw Gene perk up. "Apparently Naru wants us to come in for a case."

"Really?" He smiled happy.

"Yes, I told her to tell him we'll be there by 10 as you heard." He kept smiling. "Come on idiot, let's go get dinner then head to bed."

They did just that ending the night peacefully.
