The police and paramedics came to the mall and rushed Panaru's body away in one of their ambulances. They also took some of the beauticians, who were in shock, and some of the shoppers, who got hurt in the rush to exit the mall. Mayu was one of the people taken away to the hospital, I was very reluctant to leave her side at first, seeing as how it was all my fault to begin with, AS usual. Again my stupid Jeanie had screwed things up, but more on that later. I unlike the others, was taken to a police station for questioning along with Mayu's beautician, Panaru's was in the hospital. The poor women had gotten drenched in the girls blood.

They repeatedly asked me who I was, why I was there, my relationship to the victim, and things like that. I was very lucky that they didn't ask me to remove my hat, if they had the organization would have surely been clued in to my position. Reluctantly they let me go, seeing as how they had no real reason to keep me there, my story checked out with Mayu. I learned that she had been checked out of the hospital to be questioned. They had asked the beautician how Mayu had been acting, and about me. They put Mayu and I on the witness list.

That was the bad part. I was a bundle of nerves by the time they dismissed me because I don't have a past identity. Yuka and Kouta adopted me, but that's as far back as it got. If the police dug to deep they would find out what I was. When they me out from the questioning, Yuka and Kouta rushed over and took me into their arms. They said comforting things, reassuring words, things like that. It will be alright, we won't let them take you away, they can't blame you for anything. Mayu was released a while later, and then we left to go home.

The ride back wasn't as lovingly. There was an awkward silence, nobody seemed to want to speak, to say anything. The tension was driving me crazy, coincidentally it was driving Mayu crazy as well. She kept fidgeting and sighing. I could see her picking at the skin above her fingernails, that was definitely going to ruin her manicure. "We should get rid of that Jeanie. This is all his twisted fault." She said dryly, finally something! Mayu looked very tired, worn out mostly, that type of tired you get from stress. Every once in a while a stray tear would seep from her eye and roll down her cheek.

Mayu was mourning, yet I was not. I wish I could have cried too, I wanted to cry so badly for what I had done to Panaru. I couldn't though, she just wasn't that important to me. I felt disgusted with myself, and what I was. Why couldn't I cry? Was it because I was a diclonus, a man slaughtering machine with that for it's only purpose? I was afraid that this may be true, even though I'd never killed someone. The remorse I felt was not for the girls death, but for all the sadness I'd caused my family during the past days. I kept hurting them, they kept having to see all this blood, Mayu especially. She didn't need this, her life has been hell before us, as mine had been. Yet unlike her I had the natural ability to stand the blood and gore, it didn't hurt me one bit. By now she must be scarred, seeing my limbs ripped off, Panaru's ripped off, my Papa's skin peeled away. I hoped she didn't go crazy like Lucy did. I knew she wouldn't though, Lucy was one of a kind. Mayu would never be like her I knew, but the fear still lurked in the dark recesses of my mind. "Always a possibility," my brain said.

During all of my thinking I had been resting my head on the window, seeing but not seeing the world flashing by as we drove home. I hadn't been paying attention to anything at all. I lifted my head off the door and listened as Kouta finished a sentence, "-that's the only way to do it that I can think of."

"Hmm? Kouta what did you say?" I perked up, maybe this was important. I glanced over to see if my 'sister' thought so as well, Mayu was looking out the window.

"Nana listen next time. " Yuka said. Familiar landmarks flashed by, the car had taken us into our neighborhood by now.

"What I was saying was, that the only way to dispel a Jeanie is by putting him back in his bottle. Trick or force him back in some how. I think we all agree that he's no good. Mayu told us about the wish at the mall. All he does is evil. Weren't you listening at all Nana? We've been talking about him for about five minutes now." Yeah, Kouta was right, I hadn't been listening and my Jeanie was evil. I already knew that though.

I looked over to Mayu for advice, "Make him go away Nana." She sounded almost angry with me. Her voice was thick with emotion, fear, anger, anguish, pain. No, it wasn't like the time I knocked Nyu out, this time her voice was full of pain and fear.

We pulled up into the drive way and turned of the car. As we approached the house I realized I'd forgotten my prosthetics at the mall. 'crap!' It was too bad, they had worked really well. 'Oh well, some one can get a good buck off of those I guess.'

Once inside Mayu headed up to her room, Yuka to the kitchen, and Kouta and I to the living room. A nice relaxing sit on the couch would do me some good after such a stressful day. 'Let the TV melt my brain cells for a hour or two,' Nana was too worn out to care!

Kouta turned on the lamp and light illuminated the room. "Huh? I didn't even touch-"

Jeanie put his hand back down to his side, "Well it sure took you all a long time to get home."

"Hey did you do that?" Kouta said, confused again.

Jeanie cracked his neck and smirked, "Who else?"

I narrowed my eyes at him and sat down on the sofa. "What were you doing waiting for us in the dark? that's kinda' creepy you know."

"yeah." Kouta walked over and turned on the television. He sat down by me to watch the TV.

"Nana you know what this is about." Jeanie gave me one of his cold and silent stares that I had become to know him by. I hated him, how could he be so cool and calm like that? What a monster. Lucy was the only other person I'd ever hated as much as I did him.

"I guess I might know. What exactly do you think I know?" I said.

"You plan on putting me back into that bottle. You want to get rid of me and trap me back in that glass prison Nana." His words were lined in acid. "But you won't do that."

I growled, "It's because you're evil and you know it! Your magic doesn't have to hurt people like that! What you do isn't needed, what YOU do only causes pain! You're a bad Jeanie, and you have to go away!" My vectors slammed into him with such force that the couch was knocked over. At first I was shocked with myself, and just stood there panting like a fool. I'd never used my hands to hurt anything other than a diclonus before. Exceptions could be made for the Jeanie.

After my attack Kouta cried out and dove behind the couch. He was smart and knew when to get out of the way.

"That wasn't necessary girl. We just need to agree on one thing." Jeanie stood up and wiped off his suit, then cracked his knuckles.

"You make the third wish, and I don't go back into the bottle. Deal?" He looked frustrated, I was pleased.

"No deal. You'll just hurt more people, in some strange twisted way. Just go back into your bottle, or I will hurt you."

Jeanie raised his left arm, "Maybe I can change your mind." Kouta levitated from the floor, and cracked into the ceiling. Dust fell and the lights flickered and shook. Kouta coughed and groaned.

"Help! get me down!" His body was pressed tight against the plaster, his arms and legs spread out. Forks and knives flew in from the kitchen, Kouta screamed before they pierced his flesh. His palms and ankles poured forth a shower of blood. Briefly it rained red before the droplets splattered onto, and stained, the wooden floor. Kouta's tears fell and mingled with his blood on the floor.

Jeanie frowned and covered his ears "Shut your mouth." He said and forced Kouta's mouth shut. Then he looked back to me and said, "Change your mind yet?"

'Hell no,' I thought. Desperately I tried to use my vectors to pull Kouta down, but nothing happened. "What's going on!" I said, "Why aren't my hands working?" Jeanie raised his right arm now, and slowly began to suck the air out from Kouta's lungs. His eyes snapped open and grew wide, nostrils flaring as he tried to take in precious oxygen. Then his eyes started to grow wider, like some intense pressure was trying to pull them out, and turn red.

"Put him down!" I screamed, tears ran widely down my face, "Let him down stop! STOP!" I couldn't do anything. I was useless.

Yuka ran in from the hall and gasped at the sight of her cousin being tortured on the ceiling. "W-what's going on! w-what-" She was thrown back into a wall and knocked out cold, hitting the floor with a thud.

I ran over to her, "Yuka!" I said, but Jeanie cut me off. He demanded he be heard.

"Pay attention to me girl!" He stopped strangling Kouta and began to twist at his legs and arms. I heard the joints pop and snap and his limbs were dislocated. There were several loud cracks, and I knew his bones had been broken. He looked like a twisted bloody rag doll, arms and legs twisted in impossible directions.

"Shall we hear what your care taker has to say?" He waved his hand and sharp screams immediately followed, they were so loud, and so full of agony. I cried for Kouta, I knew what kind of pain he was in. That's how I had felt when my limbs were cut off.

"You'll make your third wish now! Or he dies!"

"No, I can't" I fell to the floor sobbing "someone, someone else will get hurt! I can't!" Kouta screamed again and again. He sounded like death, I wanted him to stop so badly, to stop screaming, to stop making those horrible noises.

"Kill me! STOP! Just kill me already! AH!" My heart felt broken and smashed to pieces. Kouta wanted death. I was disgusted with my self, because I knew I would give it to him. Footsteps sounded on the ceiling, Mayu was making her way to the stairs. I was torn, should I help Mayu or Kouta first?

"Kouta don't wish for something like that! It'll all be over soon, I promise!" I turned and dashed towards the stairs, "Mayu don't come down! It's not safe!" I saw her confused on the steps, her right foot was suspended in mid air, her left hand on the railing.

"Why what's going on? Nana what's happening?"

"Never mind that j-just go back upstairs!" I raced back to the living room. "Jeanie put Kouta down, I'll make your DAM! wish." He chuckled and released him, Kouta fell and slammed into the floor. There was another crack, his nose was broken.

"Nana., make the pain stop.." I nodded my head, my vectors snaked forth to end his life. Once the deed was done I trembled and looked back at the monster that had caused all of this. My Jeanie, the destructor of my family. "I wish Mayu was somewhere safe and happy, somewhere where she'll never have to hurt ever again." I thought, 'maybe it's not too late to save her.' but I was wrong. All I saved her from was the shock of Kouta's death.

Jeanie smirked and clapped his hands, then there was a tumbling on the stairway, and Mayu's body came crashing down. She was dead, I knew it instantly, no body tumbled the way hers did unless it was dead. I cradled her lifeless body in my arms and rocked back and forth. She was such a good girl, she had always been so kind. Now at least she could be at peace, I hoped she was in heaven. "Why did you have to kill her?" I asked, not really expecting an answer.

Jeanie walked over and placed and arm around my shoulder, whispering into my ear, "Because it's fun, killing and all that. So-" he rose behind me and twirled around happily, "Now you go in the bottle!" I gasped. I hadn't expected that. Then I found myself inside a bottle shaped room, the world as I knew it was gone.


"So, now I'm Nana the magical Jeanie! Now how does that sound to you?" The girl, my savior, backed away from me warily. "Ut ut ahh, now where are you going? I'm not like that other guy at all! Weren't you listening to my story?"

She turned and tried to flee but I pulled her back to me with my vectors, holding her against me in a tight embrace. "Rub the lamp, get three wishes. Come on make a wish, I'm nothing like that other guy!" I couldn't hold back my chuckle, "I promise."
