Normal P.O.V
Naru and Mai, possessed by Mai's parents, flew through the sky towards the large demon. Mai's eyes became cold as she hissed before her hands glew black, she began shooting her energy towards the demon, while Naru copied her motions, only he sent white ones instead of black.
A howl was heard from the middle of the forest, Making both Mai and Naru turn to see Jihoki, who was being ambushed by more demons than he could handle.
Mai's eyes softened, as she was about to rush to his aid Naru spoke up.
"We can't leave, we have to beat this," he stated as he grabbed her hand. Mai looked at him, her eyes hardened again as both of them flew in the air.
Soon both their eyes had turned colour, Mai's became black, while Naru's shined white. Soon their bodies became encase in it, Mai's eyes changed from black to white, while her body remained black. Naru's changed from white to black while his body remained black.
"They truly are the yin and yang soldiers," Masako heard one of the Angels of Light whisper before frowning.
"We need to kill them," she head another Angel said. Masako's head shot towards the two Angels as they took off into the air, she followed quickly behind with a dagger in her hand.
Masako easily overtook the two other Angels before stopping them dead in their tracks.
"I'm afraid I can't let you harm my friends," she stated as she looked over her shoulder to Naru and Mai, who had somehow moulded into the yin and yang sign.
"Let us pass Masako, this doesn't concern you," one of the Angels of Light ordered.
"You're trying to kill my friends, it does concern me, and I will stop you, even if that means having to betray you," Masako glared at the two Angels.
"We're sorry Masako," the second Angel said as he sent a beam of white light towards Masako, who easily dodged it before throwing the dagger at him. The Angel gasped once he felt the blade pierce his skin, but stopped moving completely one he felt himself being sucked into it.
"You no good traitor!" the first Angel yelled as she glared down onto Masako, whose hair fell over her left eye. Masako looked up as the dagger returned to her hand, her right eye had gone completely red, she had been tainted by Hell's power.
"I told you, I wouldn't let you harm my friends," Masako repeated as she flew towards the Angel, who charged back at her.
SPR watched the fight between the two Angels with horror as they buried the bodies of the dead and decapitated. John's eyes shone with worry as he watched Masako get kicked, scratched and possibly stabbed, while the rest of SPR just cheered Masako on, knowing she could do it.
As the two Angels charged for each other again, a blood curdling scream filled the air. Everything stopped as everyone slowly, but surely, turned their attention towards where Mai and Naru were.
"AYO!" Naru yelled, SPR watched as the possessed Mai fell from the sky, Naru flying quickly after her. Another scream and everyone's attention was back to Masako who had been stabbed through the back, literally.
"MASAKO!" John yelled as he and SPR rushed forwards to catch her, knowing Naru had Mai, or Mai's father had her mother, either way they knew Mai would be safe.
John caught Masako as she struggled to breathe. Ayako quickly went to work dressing her wounds while everyone looked towards the Angel that was flying towards Mai and Naru again.
Masako stood to her feet, despite her injuries as she started walking towards where Mai and Naru were fighting. They couldn't beat the thing alone.
SPR followed after Masako, John supporting as they did so. Soon they came to the clearing where Mai and Naru had landed, but Naru couldn't tend to Mai as he fought off the Angel that was trying to kill them both.
Ayako frowned as she took it upon herself to rush to Mai's aid. Lin summoned his Shiki to ward off the Angel who was trying to kill his best friend, while Monk tried his chant, but he wasn't sure if it would do anything.
"I'LL HAVE YOU ALL ROT IN HELL FOR THIS!" the Angel yelled as she charged for Naru, who was knelt on the ground catching his breath.
On instinct, and his word to protect Naru. Lin rushed in front of him, the blade piercing through him, instead of his best friend. Naru, possessed by Mai's father, looked up in shock.
'These kids really care for each other,' he thought as he looked at Masako, who was leant on John, Monk who was still chanting and Ayako, who was still dressing Mai's wounds.
"Ok, I've had enough of this," Monk muttered as he picked Mai's dagger up. Ayako made a move to stop him, but before she could he had already pierced it through the Angel's head. Monk smirked in victory as the Angel was sucked in side of it. Naru looked up to him before placing his hand on Lin, who instantly healed. He then walked over to Masako and did the same.
Once he had done that he rushed over to Mai, who was coughing up blood before healing her fully. Mai sat up as a loud roar filled the air. Jihoki came running out of the trees, full size, eyes blood red, blood dripping from his fangs before walking over to Mai, who reached her hand out.
Everyone watched in shock before Mai smiled towards Naru, who nodded his head.
"Shibuya and Mai are both fine, however to beat this thing we're going to need more energy," Naru stated as he looked at everyone. They all hesitated, all but one.
"Take mine," John spoke, everyone looked at him in shock, minus Mai and Naru. "This thing needs beating otherwise we won't have a home," John added as he looked at everyone, who soon nodded their heads. Mai and Naru nodded as they flew back into the air. Masako and John glew white as their energy was absorbed into Naru, while Lin, Ayako and Monk glew black as their was absorbed by Mai.
Both Mai and Naru held hands as they turned towards the demon, that was glaring at them. I smirked plastered both of their faces as they looked at it.
"This finally ends," they whispered before the energy shot out of them and towards the demon, which caused it to scream and wither in pain.
A large explosion was heard that day all over Tokyo as families stopped their daily routine, not knowing how close they had come to the end of the world.
As the smoke cleared from where the demon had been stood, all that was left was a weak, powerless Hinanto, who started to rush away.
Masako flew in front of him, along with the other Angels of Light and Darkness. Her arms folded across her chest as she glared down at the worthless excuse of a demon. She held a small dagger in her hands before piercing it through the ex-demon's heart. Slowly Hinanto was sucked into the blade while Masako could do nothing but smirk.
Mai and Naru landed safely on the ground as everything began returning to normal. Ayako, John, Monk and Lin all rushed forwards while Masako flew back over, she handed the dagger to Mai before anyone could do anything.
"What do we do with him?" Naru asked, Mai looked up at him before smirking slightly. She snapped the blade in two as if it were a piece of plastic before throwing it to Jihoki, who ran off to bury it.
"We thank you for helping us defeat the demon, maybe now you all will understand Mai a bit better," Mai's mother spoke as she left her daughter's body, leaving Mai to open her eyes to her mother's ghost.
Her father did the same thing, leaving Naru to open his eyes to the sight of Mai's father's ghost.
"Thank you, both of you, we're so proud," Mai's father smiled as he looked at Naru before smirking slightly. "You be good to our little girl, I saw what was going on in that head of yours," he added as he pointed to Naru with a sly smirk on his face. For once in his life Naru showed emotion as his face turned a blazing red, making everyone laugh at him.
Naru looked around the clearing just as Jihoki jumped through the trees again, a dead body on his back. He walked over to Naru before kneeling down, both Lin and Naru carefully removed Gene's body from Jihoki's back before thanking the large animal.
"We're sorry for your loss Shibuya," Ayo said as she turned back to her daughter. "We're so proud of you sweetheart, stay strong and remember, we're only a heartbeat away," she added before she and her husband began fading away.
Mai looked at the spot she had been, feeling tears well up in her eyes. Noticing this, Naru walked over to her, he put his hand on her shoulder before bringing her into a hug, which shocked everyone around them.
"They're always with you," Naru whispered in her ear before looking over her shoulder. A tall figure with electric blue hair and rose red eyes stood watching them; he frowned as the thing walked towards them.
"Very nice Taniyama," Mai's head shot up as she turned to the voice. Masako walked to stand next to her as she did so.
"Lucifer-sama," Mai whispered as she bowed towards her one true boss before wiping her eyes. "What can I do for you?" she asked as she watched Lucifer's every move, there was no telling what this demon would do.
"Actually, it's a state of what I can do for you," Lucifer spoke up, shocking Mai slightly. "You must be tired of being an Angel of Darkness, training, fighting to save the world, having to hid your wings," Lucifer stopped to look at SPR, "lying to your friends," he added, Mai just nodded her head as he spoke. "This, Mai, is why I'm giving you the choice. You can, either, carry on as an Angel of Darkness and become the leader of them, or I can make you into a normal girl, you won't have to worry about hell, heaven or the earth," Lucifer offered as he looked at Mai, before turning his attention to Masako. "The offer applies to you as well, Hara-san," he added. Mai and Masako looked at each other before they frowned.
"I want to be normal," Mai spoke; Masako nodded her head in agreement.
"Very well," Lucifer replied as he snapped his fingers, the wings on both Mai's and Masako's backs disappeared. The two girls smiled as they watched Lucifer turn away. "Oh, the offer to become an Angel of Darkness is always open to you and your friends," Lucifer added before he disappeared in a blast of fire.
"So, what now?" Ayako asked as she looked at everyone, who all shrugged.
A week went by; SPR had travelled to England to go to Gene's funeral and to give their regrets to the Davis family. Naru had also told them ow he was the famous Oliver Davis, which shocked everyone aside from Mai, who already knew.
SPR sat in the small room where Gene's open coffin was placed as they listened to what Luella had to say about her son. Tears streamed down her face the whole way through. Masako, Ayako and Madoka cried, even though they didn't know him. Monk, John, Lin and Yasu teared up every now and then but always blinked them away.
Mai, however, was busy comforting Naru, even though she was crying herself. SPR were shocked to say the least, it was the most emotion Naru had ever shown, then again, everyone could understand why.
Eventually the time came for everyone to go up to the coffin and say their silent goodbyes. SPR and the Martin family had decided to go last, considering they would want to be alone with Gene's body for a few minutes afterwards.
Mai walked over to the coffin with Naru, SPR and the Martins. She reached into her pocket before picking out a silver chain with a tag on it, the word 'LUCK' written on it.
She placed it next to Gene's head; no one asked any questions for that moment. The Martins and SPR slowly exited the room, leaving Naru and Mai alone with Gene's body.
"Why did you give him that?" Naru asked as he looked up to Mai, his eyes were slightly puffy and red from crying, but he didn't really care.
"My parents gave it to me, they said it would bring me luck, and it had because I have you and all of SPR, but I think Gene may need some luck in the afterlife," Mai answered as she moved some hair rom Gene's face.
"Thank you, Mai," both teens turned in shock to see Gene's spirit stood behind them.
"Gene?" Mai and Naru asked in shock, Gene smiled as he walked over to the coffin before putting the chain around his neck, he then turned to Naru.
"I won't be leaving for the afterlife, I'm going to stay and be Mai's spirit guide. Don't worry; maybe when she gets stronger you'll be able to see me again sometime. Until then, take care, Noll," Gene smirked as he winked at Naru, who smiled his rare smile to his brother. Gene's body stopped fading when he was barely visible before he looked at Mai, "and for the love of God, please just tell Noll how you feel about him," he added before fading completely. Mai's face turned a bright red as she shook her head before the two walked out of the room, a small smile played on both their faces.
"You two look unusually happy," Ayako stated as she saw the two of them.
"We saw Gene's ghost before he left," Naru replied as he looked towards his mom and dad, who smiled at him before exiting the room to see the guests off quietly.
"Still doesn't explain why you're so happy," Monk spoke, "if anything you should be more depressed," he added, while everyone nodded in agreement.
"Well, we would be, but Gene helped get Mai and I together," Naru stated as he looked at the others in amusement.
"Yeah," Mai smiled, "wait, what? When?" she asked as she looked at Naru in shock. Naru just smiled as he entwined both of their hands before kissing her forehead.
"Just then," he smiled, Mai looked at him, opened her mouth to say something, but shook it off.
"You're so weird, asking me out at your brother's funeral," Mai stated as she rolled her eyes before pushing Naru slightly.
"Gee thanks, love you too," he replied with a sly smirk.
"Yeah, I know you do," Mai smiled as she stuck her tongue out, making Naru pout, everyone laughed at the two before Mai pulled his head down and kissed him on the lips. Monk wolf whistled which resulted in a whack over the head from Ayako, while Masako leaned against John, Lin and Madoka both smiled as they intertwined their hands, while Yasu texted his girlfriend back home.
"Love you too," Mai smiled as she pulled away to look into Naru's eyes. Now her life could really begin.
