As Mai slept Yasu found what Mai had been trying to tell us, 'The Stoneman was a name given by the popular English language print media of Calcutta to an alleged serial killer who menaced the streets of that city in 1989.'

So, this is the ghost, but why is he here? Everyone thought.

As everyone went on with their individual jobs, Sora went off to Mai's room trying to be as stealthily as possible. He silently opened the door and went in to sleep with his beautiful, precious Mai.

A few hours later, Mai's eyelids fluttered open and she felt a strange warm beside her. Turning, her eyes changed from sleep and confused to furious in moment. "What the hell are you doing?" She screamed causing both ghost hunting teams to run into Mai's room.

Yuuta walked in to find that his brother was yet again being beaten by a very pissed off Mai. It was obvious what had happened- Sora had once again went into Mai's room without permission.

Naru was fuming at the familiarity the Sora was with Mai and how he constantly approached her with romantic intentions. He was yellow with jealousy and green with envy and the colors definitely didn't suit him.

After the problem with Sora was sorted, Ayako snapped at her. "Why didn't you tell me something like that? Your dreams physically hurt you,for Christ sake."

Mai blinked,"Why should I have told you?" Everyone SPR flinched at Mai's sudden harshness. Kairo's team winced, this was the Mai they knew.

"If I remember correctly you let me, all of you. You left me, the ghost magnet, alone and defenseless. For the past two years in was either become fight to live or give up and die, I would have gave up but I didn't want to take god knows how many people with me."

Mai then signed suddenly exhausted," It does matter, usually I can control it. This time it just caught me off guard the body was stronger than I thought."

After Mai's rant the tension in the base was too suffocating and Mai turned and walked back out.

"Well, that went well."Sora said awkwardly. "I don't know what to say, that has basically been Mai for the past two years. It looks like she had reverted back to the old Mai, at least for a bit." The tension began to ease and everyone watched as Naru walked out of the room, confused at his actions.

Naru could barely keep himself from running to Mai. He saw her walk through one of the doors and he followed, Mai was inside frozen, pail and trembling.

When Mai walked into the room she wasn't expecting to come face to face with a painting of the scene in her dream. Everything from the tall buildings and the silvers moon to the newspaper lying on a homeless mans lap was there.

Mai heard the door open and after a long pause she said,not looking away from the painting, "I know what he's attached too."

"What?" Naru followed her gaze and saw it. It was a painting of an old man on a bench with a newspaper on him and a large stone weighting him down.

Mai was shaking, "He's coming." Immediately Naru heard the scratching and the light flickered off. Then, "AHHHH!" Mai screamed as she was thrown into the wall with a sickening thud.

Naru would have rushed over to her if it wasn't for a intense pressure on his stomach. He couldn't breath and felt like... Like he was being crushed... He was being crushed by the descended one.

Mai woke up hearing the labored breathing that was Naru's. No... She didn't think, she just ran towards Naru. Panic and anger like she had never felt before swelled within her, like a lion preparing to roar. But instead she shouted,"No! Stop! Let him go. Please."

Mai saw it. It's five fingers, long, sharp and block like the talons for an eagle. Eyes as red as a tree frogs. It's body was entirely black but it's knees and elbows bent in the opposite direction than what they usually did. It laughed enjoying Naru's pain.

Red hot rage boiled within her, she felt her PK encasing her body and saw as Naru's eyes widened with shock at the sight of her. Mai's fingers itched for her bow and that's what she focused her PK on.

She felt the familiar weight on her fingers and smiled glancing down briefly at the bow. It shinned a beautiful blue light and it hummed with energy. Next Mai focused her PK on forming an arrow that shinned just as bright as the bow.

Mai focused on her aim, breathing in through her nose as she pulled the arrow back. Then releasing it and watched as it flew ten times faster than any normal arrow would. It went straight through the descended one's cold, evil heart and vanished. A loud, shrill cry of pain filled her ears and Mai covered them. The cry weakened as the creature before her turned to ash.

Naru breathed in a much needed breath. Then, against his will, images of what happened flashed before him. Mai had defiantly become stronger. That realization made him feel a mixture of pride and sorrow. What must she have gone through to gain that strength?

The next day, both teams were packing up their equipment and Mai couldn't help the sadness that swept through her as she though of leaving Kaito and her family yet again. She knew it wasn't really goodbye but it still made her sad to leave them.

"I'll see you guys soon." She said giving everyone a watery smile as Lin and Naru waited in the car for her.

"Definitely." Jessie said and pulled Mai into a tight hug.

"Yeah, well see each other soon. Don't worry sweetheart." Sai said as he and Shiro gave me a firm pat on the back. What was it with guys and their unwillingness to show affection.

"Bye, Mai." Naomi cried.

"I'll call you soon so we can set up a date." Sora announced before kissing Mai smack on the lips and Yuuta had to drag him away with a small nod of goodbye to her.

Naru shifted uncomfortably as Sora yet again kissed Mai. He really considered crushing the kid with his PK right there and then but Lin had told him not to do anything to drastic. Was it still considered murder if it was a crime of passion? Because right now, he felt like choking Sora- passionately.
