Sakis' P.O.V

I watched Mai meditating over my book; she was improving and pretty fast. My phone vibrated at the side of me.

"Mai, I have to take this, keep meditating" I told her, she silently nodded and I left into Narus' office. Clicking the green button I pulled the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked, breathing and arguing was heard on the other end, I sighed, do these guys every stop arguing?

"Saki?" Narus' voice was clear on the other end, I stared out the window he had on his door, keeping an eye on Mai.

"Yes? What is it?" I asked, if the demons were coming Mai shouldn't be by herself.

"We had a run in with the demons last night, we're sending Monk over to put a barrier up, try to keep Mai safe until then" he ordered me, I was shocked, they had attacked? Already? But we had only just left.

"Alright how long until Monk get here?" I asked, I heard the sound of a car leave or pull up; I'm not sure, in the back ground.

"About 30 minutes, if he doesn't get pulled" Naru told me, I chuckled a little.

"Sure I gotta go, Mai's almost done meditating" I told them, I heard the phone click on the other end, without a good bye. "Rude much?" I asked to no one.

Walking back out of the office I saw that some of Mais' PK was making thing float, perfect she was learning fast, which in my books was a good thing.

"You can stop meditating" I told her, she slowly opened her eyes, looking at me she smiled.

"How come?" she asked, the things that were floating had landed softly on the ground.

"Because you are ready for the next step" I told her, she stared at me blankly.

"But I've only been meditating for a day, not even that" she said shocked, I nodded at her.

"Yes I know but, your PK is strong, it only needed help to kick in" I told her, Mai smiled and sighed, but nodded her head.

"Sure thing. So what was with the call?" she asked me, I looked at her, smiling in reassurance.

"Nothing really, the demons had already shown their faces, they're sending Monk here to put up a barrier, that's pretty much it" I told her, it was the same thing they had told me, Mai nodded her head.

"So what's the next step teach?" she asked me, I laughed at her, trust Mai to say something like that.

"Levitating things" I told her, she stared at me.

"I can't do that" she almost yelled, almost. I grabbed my ears to block her high pitched voice.

"You were doing it when I came in, you just need to concentrate" I told her, this would be a bit more challenging, I mean Mai CONCENTRATE? We're all doomed. Sighing Mai sat on the sofa.

"So where do we start?" she asked me, I smiled at her.

"Try levitating this" I said placing a spoon in front of her.

"So how does this work?"

"Just focus on the spoon and nothing else, for now that should do it, then we'll focus on levitating things, while you're talking to people ok?" I asked her, Mai nodded her head smiling; she turned her attention to the spoon, her eyes glued to it, like it was going to grow teeth and a mouth and chomp her eyes out. I laughed at the thought and Mai looked at me.

"Concentrate Mai, concentrate" I told her, she grumbled some curse words under her breath, and something that sounded like, 'hard to do with a loud mouth here', I supressed the erg to laugh at her. I grabbed my book and carried on reading it.

After 10 minutes Mai still hadn't levitated the spoon, and to make matters worse, it felt like something was staring holes into my skull, turning around and gasping at the sight, I grabbed Mai and pulled her next to me, she jolted her concentration away from the spoon and to the demons.

"Well this is a nice place you got here" one said, the other nodded in agreement.

"Too bad that it won't keep Mai safe, not even a little" the one who had pushed Mai off the cliff, spoke up, the demon next to him disappeared, then reappeared behind Mai. I heard her cry in pain, he had twisted her arm around, she was lucky it wasn't broke, or out of the socket, or skin, I cringed at the thought.

"Let her go" I warned, the first laughed at me.

"Or what, you'll zap us? You don't have PK anymore, remember? You lost it, otherwise we wouldn't be here, and Mais' parents would still be here" the one in front of me snarled, I glared at him, Mai gasped, I looked at her, my eyes filled with sorrow and worry, the demon behind her smirked, his eyes glowed red in the, almost dark, room. I turned back to the first demon, he was right I couldn't do anything, I didn't have PK or anything, what do I do? I was stupid to think I could do this by myself, Mai, they were going to get her, just like they got her parents, and it's going to be all my fault, again. Tears formed in my eyes but I wouldn't let them fall, I continued to glare, I just had to keep this up until Monk got here.


Mais' P.O.V

I don't understand, how is it Sakis' fault my parents died? They died when I was young, did they help her with the PK she had or something? The pain I can feel in my wrist right now, it's unbearable, I had to do something. Clear your mind Mai, clear it, concentrate on the spoon, I kept telling myself over and over again, I needed something to gab him with, and right now that was the only thing there was.

I felt the energy in me grow, it was like a nice warm sensation, like when I woke up in Narus' arms, getting that out of my head, I could feel the spoon begin to lift, willingly I tried to shoot it forward. After two minutes silence I didn't think it had worked, sighing I was about to give up.

"AGH! WHAT THE FUCK?" the demon who had me yelled, I smirked, turned around and, almost as if on instinct, kicked him in the face. He went stumbling backwards onto the table; the doors flew open, Monk he was here.

"It's about God damn time" I said, he scratched the back of his head, the threw one of those things at the window, an energy encased the room and the demons were forced out.

"Huh, I thought that only worked on ghosts?" Saki asked, I shrugged smiling at her. "Look Mai, I'm sorry I didn't tell you alright, I had PK and your parents taught me how to use it, when you were young these demons came and tried to kill them, I tried to stop them but, they got them, I'm so sorry" she said hanging her head in shame, I stared at her, Monk stared at us both with a face that clearly said, 'what the hell have I missed?' I giggled and walked to Saki, pulling her into a hug, I smiled.

"You couldn't help it, they knew how dangerous things were, it's not your fault" I said, she smiled and hugged me back; she suddenly pulled away and looked at the table.

"You moved the spoon" she gasped, I shrugged.

"I kinda had to, otherwise my arm would be broke, and out of the skin by now" I explained, seeing Sakis' cringing face made me laugh and Monk chuckled, Saki pouted and turned away.

"So what did I miss girls?" Monk asked us, I shrugged, as did Saki.

"Not much, Mais' able to get to the centre of her PK, she can control it, she can move things at will, when she's concentrating, we need to work on moving them while talking to people now" Saki explained, she looked at me. "Then we'll go back to the Inn and you can work on exercising some of the girls, after that you should be able to beat the demons" Saki finished, Monk stared shocked.

"Woah, woah, woah, back up. You've been gone a day, and she can already reach her core, and move things?" he asked, overly shocked, I smiled and nodded at him. "Well Mai, to say I'm impressed is an understatement" he said to me, I smiled wider.

"Thanks" I said to him, Saki looked at us, she smiled.

"What?" we asked, she shrugged.

"It's nothing it's just, Monk is kinda like a father figure to you, well in my eyes he is" she said, Monk smiled and so did I, come to think of it, Monk was like a father to me.

"I should call Naru and tell him how far you've gotten; I'll be back in a minute, unless I'm ok to call him in here?" Monk asked, Saki shrugged.

"Call him in here, we're done for the day" Saki yawned, I looked at the time, it was four in the afternoon, I guess it would be a good time to call it a day and chill for a while.

"Hey Naru, it's Mon


k" I heard Monk say.

"Hey Monk, how are they?" I heard Naru say, Monk had him on speaker, I giggled.

"We're doing fine Naru" I replied smiling, I heard him grunt a little.

"Good, how far have you progressed?" he asked, Saki got up from her seat and took the phone.

"If Mai carries on like she has been doing, we should be back in two days, max" Saki said, the line went quiet for a minute or so.

"TWO DAYS?" everyone yelled, I grabbed my ears.

"I think I'm deaf" I muttered, Monk was spinning with dizziness at the loudness of the noise.

"Not the only one" he agreed, Saki on the other hand was completely fine, well she has put up with me her whole life.

"Yes two days, max, Mai's quick at tapping into her core and the other things, she's also able to concentrate very well" Saki explained, I waited for it, I knew it was going to come.

"Mai concentrate, well make sure she's careful, she'll blow the last of her brain cells" Naru said, and there it is, Sakis' face fumed red.

"You're dead when we get back, well we should get going, we still have practice to do, so bye" Saki said, the line went dead without a good bye, or a see you.

"Rude much?" me and Monk muttered, we laughed after wards.

Normal P.O.V

I looked at Mai and Monk laughing, honestly Monk would make a great adoptive father for Mai, sighing a turned to them, if only Monk and Ayako would adopt Mai, then she'd have someone else to call family besides me and my father. I smiled at the thought, looking out the window I noticed the sun beginning to set, slowly on the horizon.

"How 'bout we get some tea?" I suggested, they both stopped laughing and nodded, we grabbed our coats and headed out the door, hopefully those demons wouldn't follow us.
