Prologue

The boy stood at the edge of the cliff. The cliff was above the crashing waves of the Japan Sea. The wind was strong and his head ruffled wildly around him. He was staring at the sea, biting his lips. Night was coming and a thick mist was covering the sea in a distance. He had never seen anything like this before.

The mist was thickening and it was coming towards the cliff the boy was standing. It was a thick white mist. A mist without any form or shape. It was just a swirling mass. The stories the boy was told when he was just a little one replayed in his mind. He trembled in fear. He could not run, his feet were glued to the ground. The mist came faster and faster. Soon the boy could not see the sea; the mist covered the rolling waves.

A wave crashed at the side of the cliff. The boy dropped to his knees. The mist was almost upon him. Singing...a soft singing came from the mist. The voice wasn't comforting, it wasn't at all. The boy scrambled backwards. Strength rushed back into his legs and he turned to run. He turned and a scream escaped his lips.

Then he was gone. The mist covering the cliff and disappearing. The singing still lingering. For an instant, amidst the mist, a lone figure could be seen pushing the boy of the cliff.

The vanishing fog

Boat and sea sickness

Mai leaned on the cold metal railing of the small fisherman boats. She hurled into the ocean, the vile liquid of puke escaped her lips and landed into the white frothy waves. Mai wiped her lips with a tissue paper. She turned to the boy standing beside her. He had paled skin, short black hair and unnatural red eyes. He obviously did not have sea sickness. Mai pointed a shaking finger at him. "Why are we here?" she asked him accusingly. She forced down another puke forming in her gut, coughing. "Why are we HERE?" she shouted. Naru turned to face her. His cold unnerving gaze sending irritation down Mai's spine.

"We have a case." He said.

"In the middle of the ocean!" Mai shouted before turning again and puking into the ocean. The boy showed no expression. "Yes, our client insists that we meet him on that small Island there." Naru said. Mai raised her head up from the ocean weakly and found herself staring an Island. It was a huge Island.

"I hope his paying, big bucks." Mai muttered. She did not deserve to be puking. Naru shrugged, and drunk tea from a paper cup. That snob, here she was puking and he was drinking in front of her. This was going to be a hellish trip.

Lin was Naru's tall assistant. He was like Naru, cold and had no expression. He was sitting next to the equipment apparently protecting it from the crashing waves. Masako was Naru's god know what, she was a girl, 16 years of age and extremely irritating, to Mai. She had supernatural abilities though and had some shared experiences with Mai. Ayako was a self-pronounced priest and was quarrelling with Masako who apparently refused to let Ayako sit inside the cabin. Ayako was somewhat the oldest in the group, even if she does not admit it.

Then there was Bou-san, a monk who was waiting on the island with Yasuhara-san. Yasuhara-san was the only normal human in the group and a university student. They met during a case long ago. Although he was the only normal one he was pretty helpful. He agreed to help out on this case; apparently it was a very big one.

Naru had not released the details of the case yet. He would do so once they met their mysterious client. Three days ago, Naru received a phone call from a mysterious man. Naru spent hours in his office talking to the man and when he finished Naru asked for Mai to start packing her suit case. Seems they would be going to one of the Islands in Okinawa.

All Mai knew was that, the client owned the island.

John stood beside Mai. He handed another tissue paper to Mai when she puked into the ocean again. "Thank you." She said weakly to the priest. John was Christian and was the most helpful exorcist out of the three and apparently the kindest.

He was the only one that bothered about Mai's sea sickness.

The island was looming closer and Mai could see some houses stretched out at the edge of the Island. The boat suddenly stopped and Naru turned to the fisherman who drove the boat. "Why did you stop?" he asked the fisherman. Mai turned and found that the fisherman was shivering. Mai frowned.

When they first arrived at Okinawa air port there was no fisherman who wanted to take them to the Island. They all seemed afraid somehow of this Island. To Mai though it seemed pretty normal. It looked normal so it must be normal.

"This is madness." The fisherman said. "Why do you want to go to that Island?"

"You promised to take us there and that is that." Naru replied without answering. The fisherman trembled and started the engine again. He caught Mai's gaze and Mai saw fear in his eyes. "Just..." the fisherman said before shaking his head and looking at his watch.

Why was the fisherman so obsessed with time? When he agreed to fetched them he rushed them to the boat very quickly and throughout the journey he had been travelling at full speed. Mai looked at her watch. It was only 4 in the afternoon. Why was the man rushing for?

The boat bounced again and Mai moaned, her sea sickness coming again. This time it seems that the boat was travelling faster at dangerous speeds.

The Island came into view and it looked beautiful, with lush green tropical forest, white sandy beaches. Mai could see some small towns on the Island. The boat turned and the forest disappeared and a cliff appeared in sight.

"Look at the cliff, it's so tall!" John exclaimed. Mai looked and was amazed. It was tall and completely made out of a pure white shining stone. "Limestone." Naru said when he saw Mai smiling.

Mai's smile vanished almost immediately. "I know that." She said. She didn't of course but she didn't need that idiot to know that. The cliff disappeared from view and the boat came to an abrupt halt. They were at a small port.

"Off, quickly get off my boat." The fisherman said. Mai glanced at him, irritated.

"What is your problem!?" she asked the guy. The fisherman glanced at her.

"Beware." He said.

Mai raised her eyebrow. "Of the fog." He whispered. Mai stumbled onto the port and the fisherman started the boat almost immediately and went off.

"Well, that was a nice man." Masako said with sarcasm, dusting her kimono. She places her sleeve over her nose.

"And what a strange place." She whispered.

"Shall we head to our client house now?" Naru asked. Lin nodded picking out the equipment and the team followed Naru.

The Island was silent.
