Mai POV

I looked around, "Naru? Are you in here?" all I saw was Lin, "Naru is out right now, he didn't tell you?" I shook my head,"uh-ah" I went the last orders he gave me was ' make me some tea Mai' what a jerk! He could never let me do anything interesting. He didn't even care when I told him about my dream and Madoka, well he kind of did, but not really!

I walked outside to the Cherry trees, "Ayako?" I asked, there she was, her first exorcism of this case. She seemed to be concentrating hard, I just stood by. Nothing happened, then I saw her, mom. I bit my lip, this was goodbye. I waved, and then she disappeared. Ayako looked up and sighed, "Can I get a drink, Mai?" I handed her the cup of tea that Naru wanted, but he wasn't here. You snooze you lose I guess. "Thank you" she said after taking a sip.

"She isn't gone" Masako said, making me jump. I hadn't seen her there, "But how?" Ayako and I said together. Masako shrugged, "Her spirit is backed up by something you cant terminate" Ayako looked at her, determined, "then I will try again" Masako shook her head, "Don't, you weren't powerful enough before, and now you are even more exhausted, you wouldn't have a chance" Ayako looked angry at Masako for saying that, but leaned against a tree showing that she knew Masako was right.

There was a log silence, Masako and I just stared at each other as Ayako drank her tea, "I'm going to go check on John and Monk" I said quietly as I walked away, "let me know if you sense anything, Masako" I went to the attic where John was performing an exorcism. I walked over to Monk, "Any luck?" I asked, he shook his head, "No, you" I shook my head. I bit my lip, I almost turned and left, but Monk stopped me, "There is still hope, if my exorcism doesn't work then I want you to try something." I nodded, "What's the plan?"

He told me what he had in mind. If his exorcism doesn't work then I will try to do the warding spell that Monk showed me. He said that since it was my mom and she wanted me to be happy, then it just may be crazy enough to work. I agreed to the plan, and then left, I hoped Monk's exorcism worked.

Someone opened the door, I figured it was Naru so I got another cup of tea and brought it to the door. I dropped the glass, standing in front of me was a shady purple figure, "There you are, Mai" It was Mom, she walked through me. Suddenly I felt very lightheaded, "Naru? Monk? Someone?" I tried to make out, but all that got through was silence. Then all I saw was darkness.

Naru POV

My phone rang, "Hello Lin" I said calmly. I was on my way home from gathering some information from Madoka, well more like I gave information to her. "The exorcisms aren't going to well" Lin said. That wasn't good, if Mai is right, her mom will kill everyone if we don't send her to the Light soon. I heard glass shatter in the background, "Lin? What was that?" I demanded. "I'm checking now" he told me abruptly, "Mai" He said quietly at first, "Its Mai, she passed out" You could sense worry in Lin's voice.

"Get her safe immediately and check the cameras. I think her mom has reappeared. I will be there in a minute" I hung up the phone, "Damn" I said driving off the road onto a dirt path that lead straight to the house. I didn't use it because it could damage the car. Right now I really didn't care about the car. When I saw the house my car skidded to a stop. I jumped out of the car, and ran inside. "You really think this is the answer?" I asked her mom, I knew she could hear me. I walked into the base, "You see anything?" I asked Lin. He nodded, "She is headed for the attic"

"Make sure that John and Takigawa are aware of that" Lin nodded again. I walked over to Mai and felt her head. It was warm, I walked out, "And make sure she sleeps" I commanded Lin. I

I walked up to the attic; I had no intention of running into John and Takigawa. I was going to see Mai's mother. I concentrated all my energy to one point. Soon I ran into her, "So you think you are all that great?" I implored, "And that you are perfect, and you do everything to make Mai happy? Well news flash, you don't. This isn't what she wants. I real mother would know that." I told her. She looked at me, "Wow, its you again, you have some nerve coming back here." I looked at her and rolled my eyes, "I have to have that kind of nerve. It is part of my job" She laughed, "What is that? Janitor?"Now that was, uncalled for. It was war, but I had to keep my cool, "No I am the founder of SPR, Shibuya Physic Research. My name is Kazuya." I informed her politely, "aren't you a little young for that position?" she asked. Everyone seemed to ask that question, even ghosts if they got the chance. Then I noticed something, I could see and hear Mai's mothers spirit. Did she want me to meet her?

I didn't ask, I probably didn't want to know. I closed my eyes, and focused some of my energy on her, enough to penetrate her. I heard her scream in agony. Deep inside I hoped that Mai was still asleep. If she wasn't the sound is probably heartbreaking, if she could hear it at all. There was one last, loudest scream and then it stopped completely. I had won, I opened my eyes, she was gone. I sat down for a second, and then went to sleep.

Mai's POV

My eyes flickered open, I heard a blood curling scream, "mom" I muttered, then, all too soon, it ended, "Mom?" I looked around, there was Lin, "Where is Naru?" I asked him. He shook his head, "Go back to bed" I got off the couch, "No!" I said defiantly as I ran out of the room and ran up the stairs to where I heard the scream. There, lying on the ground was Naru, "Naru?" I ran up to him, "Naru!" I repeated, he unconscious, what happened, what did my mom do? Masako walked up behind me, "She is gone now" Lin came by and picked Naru up, he cracked a smile. Wait, Lin cracked a smile! This was really a weird case! Then Lin said, "He is just asleep." I looked down, John and Monk came down, "We are done here I see" he said, sighing in relief.

I walked over to Chi, who was following Lin, "You hear that? We are done. The ghost is gone, you and your family is safe." I looked at Chi, she was about to cry, "Thank you" she said as she handed me a check. It was our payment. She ran down the stairs, "I will help you get ready to leave" Yasu smiled, "so we can finally rest in piece! Woo! Thank goodness!" Most of us laughed, except for Lin, who never laughed.

The next Day

Mai POV(still)

I sighed; we finally put the last piece of equipment into the van. It was just me, Lin and Naru putting things up. Yasu, Masako, Ayako, John, and Monk all left yesterday. We got into the van. I looked out the window the entire ride home. That's when I realized, I don't have a home.
