'telepathy'


Mai POV

"Oh, how about you sit down and we can talk about that?"

"No" Itsuko replied "I want to tell you about the case first the after you have gotten rid of the spirit, if you take the case, then I will tell you

about the night your brother died"

"Ok, Mai get your laptop and take notes will you?" asked Madoka.

"Ok" I said quickly getting my laptop and sitting down on a seet.

I don't like the way her eyes are following us around. I really hate the way she is forcing us to take her case because she knows Gene and how he quote on quote died.

Itsuko takes a deep breath and starts, "I run an orphanage four and a half hours from here. The ghost is Eita. When I was younger and was in an orphanage myself he was also there." Gene sucks in a quick breath. "Eita was different, he was really shy, so he was constantly picked on. There was only three of us who would not pick on him and instead defend him. When we grew up we started our own orphanage. We have twelve boys and eight girls, so few girls because they get adopted faster. A few years ago he was attacked no one knows why or how, one day he didn't come down to eat so I went to go get him and he was . . ." she chokes up and her eyes are full of tears. I quickly get a image of Eita on his bed completely covered in blood.

I put down the laptop and go and sit next to Itsuko. She looks at me in fear, I gently take her hand and say "we will help you, I promise we will help your friend. I need to know what happened to the children that have had paranormal things happen to them."

"Gingo has a broken arm and a concussion. Tarou has a sprained wrist and a concussion. Ouji had a concussion. Kei has a sprained ankle and a concussion. Ran has a sprained ankle and a concussion."

"So all the boys have something to do with their arm and a concussion and the girls have it with their legs and a concussion."

"Okay, we are going to be there tomorrow afternoon, is that okay?"

"Thank you. What do you need?" Itsuko said through tears.

"We are going to need three rooms, one for a base so it's going to need to have a lot of wall sockets, the other two rooms are for sleeping rooms. Can you manage that?"

"Yes of course." slowly she gets up and goes to the door "one more thing Eita he's different now than when he was alive."

"Yea, he's dead," I heard Monk mutter under his breath.

"No, not just that. He seems agitated at something, I don't know what. Eita he loved the children I don't know why he would do something like this." she said to the stunned Monk. Then she walks out the door, with one final depressed look at Gene.

"Mai why did you say that we where going to take the case?" asks Madoka in a stern voice.

"I had seen a vision"

"Oh"

I take a deep breath and let it all out. "I'm gonna go home if that's ok we have no more appointments and since everyone is here I won't need to call anyone, and I got to make sure my pets haven't killed anyone" I mutter the last bit about my pets.

"That's fine, make sure you are here at the right time"

"Okay" I grab my stuff quickly throw on my jacket and walk out the door. I cross the street and the second I'm in the park I run to my house.

Monk POV

"What did Mai mean about her pets killing someone. I didn't think she had pets, because her landlady would not let her." I ask.

"I think she meant it as a joke Monk." replied Ayako.

Mai POV

"I'm home!"

'Welcome home Mai can you tell Fang to let me live? I still don't know why he doesn't like me' Tam asks. I walk over to where Tam is stuck in a tree with Fang below him growling.

"Fang, its not nice to run people into trees." I reprimand. Fang whines and softly barks at me. I laugh. "Now Fang, I think he knows that you are the more fearsome wolf leader. Right Tam?" Tam vigorously nods. Fang barks at me again. "Fang he can't answer you he can't talk remember? That's why he uses telepathy." Fang nods and wanders off back into the woods. 'You can come out of the tree now he won't do anything for a while, then up the tree you will be again.' I tell him using telepathy. Suddenly Tam is no longer in the tree but right next to me.

'Thanks that wolf scares the crap out of me.' says Tam.

'So says the man who can teleport at will and is so strong he can throw DEMONS at a flick of a wrist?'

'You think of me as a man?' he asks with a cocky grin, and a flirty lift of his eyebrows.

'You know what I mean, now go be a good shiki and go get some wood.' I think with a grin.

'Yes ma'am' he says in all his cocky glory.


So sorry I have not been able to update. First because of my finals and then because the website would not let me post. I have no idea if I will be able to continue with my plan of one chapter a week it might have to change to one chapter every two weeks SORRY!
