Hey everyone sorry this took so long but school has started and I have a bucket load of work to do. I'll try to update on Saturday or Sunday from now on. Anyway let's GET ON WITH THE STORY:


MASAKO'S POV:

I watched everyone leave the base and Mai fall asleep in his lap. I watched with sad eyes.

Why doesn't he love me? I'm the one who is rich, the better medium and I knew who he was before everyone else. I sighed and stood up.

"I'm going to look around Oliver." I said

He didn't even answer me he just continued to stroke Mai's hair and watch the monitors. A tear slipped down my cheeks and I ran out the door. I made it to the door that lead outside. I walked around until I got to the middle of the runway when I felt over whelming spirit energy and passed out.

MAI'S DREAM WORLD:

I had just reached the astral plane when I felt Masako's sprit enter the plane as well. I started walking around to see if I could try to find her. She wasn't used to the astral plane as I was. When I did reach her she was staring off into space like she was having a vision. I placed my hand on her shoulder and called her name hoping to get her attention but instead I was pulled into the vision as well.

"Why did you promise to protect this land? You and I were going to be together forever best friends facing the world. We were going to travel and explore but now you can't leave this place or the land would slowly become impure again."

I watched as the woman from my earlier dream was standing in front of a girl who was slightly shorter than her with long black hair. They looked almost identical expect for the eye color. The woman from my other dream had green eyes while the other had hazel. The other woman was crying; she reached her hand out and forcefully turned the other woman around to face her, who also had tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Violet but she had helped us out in times of trouble I wanted to do something more for her. Please forgive me."

"No, it is too late now you broke our promise Dawn I won't every forgive you."

Violet held her hand palm up and pulled a knife out of her pocket.

" You were not the only one she taught her spells too Dawn."

Dawn's eyes widened and she tried to stop the other woman but it was too late she slit the palm of her hand and turned it over. The land below her quickly started absorbing her blood.

"From now on, if you or your ancestors ever leave this land for a certain amount of time. The land will become impure and all the spirits here will become trapped. The only way to break this curse is to use someone who strong spiritual energy and blood. Be warned thought the spirits here will not leave quietly. Dawn from this day on we are enemies, when you die your soul will remain her wandering for all time."

Dawn tried to stop her friend but she couldn't move and collapsed to her knees in tears. I felt the familiar push and I was standing next to Masako again.

"Masako you ok?" I asked her when I noticed she had come out of the vision as well.

"Yeah now how do we get out of here?" Masako said in a bratty tone.

I sighed and started pulling Masako to the exit. Halfway there though I felt a barrier blocking our way.

"Masako don't freak out but we are stuck in the astral plane."

"WHERE WHAT, YOU IDIOT MAI," Masako screamed

I covered my ears and sat down so I wouldn't have to hear her annoying voice anymore. Hopefully Sei would wake up soon and get us out of here.

LIN'S POV:

I looked over at Madoka for the 50th time today. I sighed in my head and turned back to the computer screen. She is always so beautiful, I basically out my feelings for her out there on a platter but she doesn't even recognize them. I always put her above others and side with her whenever she is scolding Naru for something. I even do everything she has ever asked of me even if I think it is absolutely ridiculous.

"Koujo did you want to tell me something?" Madoka said suddenly

I turned my head to her quickly and shook my head. "No Madoka nothing."

"Well ok because you keep looking at me like you want to say something." Madoka whispered and turned back to her computer.

I stared at her. I was that obvious, if she notices that why can't she notice my feelings. She is probably just as dense as Mai. Sighing I was about to turn back but I noticed something odd.

"Naru, how long has Mai been asleep?" I asked him

Naru looked up at me. "only about an hour, she should wake up pretty soon." Naru answered

I stood up and walked over to Mai and Naru. I just felt something was wrong and the fact that my Shiki were agitated all of a sudden. I placed my hand on Mai's forehead and quickly pulled it back.

"Naru Mai is ice cold. Why haven't you noticed this." I hissed at him

Naru looked genially surprised and touched Mai's forehead as well. "I don't feel anything different Lin." Naru said.

"You wouldn't." Sei said suddenly from the couch.

Naru and I looked over at Sei. "What do you mean Sei?" I asked

"Mai and Naru are connected meaning Mai's natural defenses while she is asleep protect Naru as well. Mai's ability to not be affected by temperature and her fast healing abilities, or anything else you can think of are protecting Oliver right now. He won't be able to tell the difference if Mai was hot or freezing cold right now." Sei explained

Sei slowly sat up but laid his head on Yasuhara's shoulder who was ignoring the whole situation and continued to research. Madoka was in front of Mai now checking her pulse and everything.

"Let me rest for a few more minutes. Mai isn't in an immediate danger at the moment. However, I suggest one of you go find Ms. Hara who is outside on the runway passed out." Sei yawned out

"When did she leave the room?" I asked

"An hour ago," Naru answered.

"You saw her leave?" I questioned him

"No, but I heard her say she was going to walk around. I just didn't deem what she said with a response." Naru said coldly

I sighed; I have been doing that a lot today. "I will go get her." I said before running out the door using my Shiki to guide me.

NARU' POV:

I looked down at Mai and continued to stoke her hair. "Sei, what is going on anyway?" I asked quietly

Sei looked over at Miles who was just like Yasuhara focusing on his research. "Where are the others?" "

"They went out for dinner after nothing happened when they tried to exorcize the construction site." I told him.

Sei nodded his head as much as he could while on Yasuhara's shoulder. "Mai is stuck in the astral plane, she can't get out on her own because Ms. Hara is there and if she used any of her energy to escape she could seriously injure her."

I relaxed at Sei's explanation. "We haven't even been here one day and so much has happened in the last few hours."

Sei chuckled "Yeah, these spirits aren't shy are they." Sei said

"Well until Lin gets back I'm going back to sleep." Sei yawned again

I watched as Sei wrapped his arms around Yasuhara's waist and laid his head back in his lap. Yasuhara only had a few seconds to move his laptop out of the way before Sei's head hit it. Yasuhara put his feet back up on the chair in front of him and out the laptop on his knees and leaned over Sei to continue his search.

Is everyone on my team falling in love with each other? I thought before turned back to my screens feeling a headache coming on.
