A/N: OMG! Why didn't anyone yell at me! I can't believe I forgot about this! This chapter is for February, I wasn't able to post on time because I had strep at the time and after that was gone I got bronchitis. That's just started to go away finally. I had to take a breathing treatment almost every 5 hours... I'm really sorry that this chapter is late!

The next day SPR was closed leaving Mai a day to relax and catch up on her personal affairs. She woke up late into the day and groggily made herself something to eat for Brunch. Thankfully she didn't have any dreams during the night. She watched the news as she thoughtlessly ate her food. She felt unmotivated to do anything since she had left Ryushi's the night before. She had a feeling that he was hiding something big from her and she wasn't sure what to do about it. Granted she was keeping a pretty big secret herself but she had a feeling his was harmful to her in some way. After eating she sat and watched the screen mindlessly before she finally decided to go and do her homework that she had left untouched during the case. Thankfully for her the work was easy and she breezed through it pretty fast. After she was done and content on her school progress, Mai decided to go out for a walk to clear her mind some. During the years that Naru had left she had taken up going for long walks around the city to nowhere specific. Mai changed out of her sleepwear and into some comfortable clothing before she grabbed her keys and purse and left out the door. She didn't really have a destination in mind but instead took random turns and corners. It felt relaxing to her. Mai turned down a neighborhood street absentmindedly not keeping track on how far away from her apartment she was. When she reached halfway down the street she suddenly collapsed cursing herself. She had forgotten to keep up a barrier or carry any wards with her. Now she stood in a vision of a ghost that she wasn't looking for.

Mai decided to wait it out and see what the ghost wanted her to. As she went through the vision she realized that she was being stalked by someone. She hurriedly tried to loose them with lots of twist and turns but to no avail. Then she decided to go home to where it should be safe. She reached her house and quickly greeted a small child. Thankfully the person that was following her didn't come to her home. The vision changed to a later date Mai noticed. The trees were bare where before they had lots of leaves and it had seemed to be hot outside whereas now she was wearing more layers. She could feel someone watching her again. They've been following her home ever since a while ago. She wasn't sure why they were doing it but she hurried home nonetheless. This time when she got inside of her house they child didn't come to greet her. Perplexed she looked around the small house to find them when she came into the kitchen to find him sitting on a chair with his head on the table facing away from her. Chuckling softly out of amusement she walked over to the small child to wake him before she started to cook for the both of them. Once she got closer however, she suddenly got a very bad feeling. Ignoring it she shook the small body resting against the table calling out his name.

"Harumi." Mai called perplexed because he wasn't moving. She repeated his names a few more times before she noticed that he wasn't breathing. She picked the small boy up off of the table and looked at his lifeless form with tears in her eyes. She hugged the small body against her as her body was wrecked by her grief. Suddenly her front door opened. Not caring about what happened and just wanting her son back, the woman continued to grieve the small child named Harumi. Then all of a sudden she was ripped off of the floor where she had fallen from her grief only to be thrown across the room into the wall. Upon the impact against the wall her arms released the dead child. Before she could make any action she was forced off the floor once more by a hand around her throat until she was on the tips of her toes. She looked into the intruders eyes and realized that she's seen him before. He was the one that was stalking her. Upon this revelation her eyes had widened considerably. She wanted to ask him if he was the one who killed her son or not but she could barely even breath with his hand held tightly around her neck.

"I finally caught you little mousy." The mans said as he drew his face closer. His breath smelt rancid like a sewer making her want to turn her head away. The only response she could make was a small whimper that had barely passed her lips.

"It's alright little mousy. We're just going to play a little before you go to sleep." The man told her with a smile on his face as he tore her shirt off with his other hand. Realizing what was going to happen she started to try and release his hand around her neck. In response he pulled her up higher and tightened his grip causing her to suffocate. She frantically tried to free herself now until finally her brain had lost enough oxygen to where she was about to pass out. His hand vanished from the tight hold as she fell to the floor once more. However it was all she could do just to stay concise. The man bent down and started to undress her once more.

"Let's play nice little mousy." He said as he removed her clothing. Once he finished his task he placed her on top of the table near by where the small child had been when she had arrived. He quickly tied her hands together with her underwear that he had removed and used her torn shirt to gag her. Unable to fight back she started to cry once more but this time not from grief. Mai wanted to leave the vision but she was unable to. The man then raped the woman as she continued to cry. Once he was satisfied she watched as he left her line of sight. For a fleeting second she thought about running away, but she could bring herself to do it. Not after what that man had done to her and her son. She no longer had any will. The man returned much to her dismay. Before she knew what was happening he had already stabbed her stomach all the way to the table. She screamed from pain but it was muffled from her gag. The man brought out another knife. This time she was able to see it before he sliced her thigh clean through. It was the knife her mother had left her. She tried to wiggle free in an attempt to save her life but the knife in her stomach prevented her from moving much. She reached her hands to grab it when suddenly he was holding them still.

"Now, now little mousy. I promised you some sleep remember?" The man asked her as he sliced through her wrist next.

"Are you tired already little mousy?" The man asked after he sliced her other thigh opened. The woman couldn't do anything besides cry through the immense pain that her body was going through.

"Don't you want to sleep next to this little one though?" The man asked as he kicked the small child's body over to her view. Her cries grew more intense in response which he took as a confirmation to his question.

"Alright. I let you sleep then." The man said as he walked back over to her and sliced her neck ending her life.

As she felt the vision fading she heard a faint voice saying, "Please stop me."

Mai woke up in the spirit realm still crying. She couldn't believe that such a crime had happened around where she had been walking. She made a promise to herself that she would help the spirit out so that they could finally find peace. Concentrating Mai returned to her body. As she regained consciousness her body was sore all over. She could feel a wound from where the women had been cut. Regretting not putting barriers up once again she opened her eyes to find herself not outside. The ceiling and walls were white. Moving her eyes around, to avoid her sore body, she noticed that she was in a hospital room. That's when she heard the monitor next her giving a steady beep. She used the call button next to her to gain a nurse's attention so that she could get bandaged up before she bleed too much. After a few minutes a nurse walked in to greet her.

"You called miss?" The nurse asked politely before she realized that the blanket over Mai was soaked through with blood. The nurse hurried out and started calling for help. Mai kept her head back on the pillow with her eyes closed waiting for them to return knowing that it was going to be a while before she could leave.

A/N: I'm so sorry about the long wait! I hope that this will make up for it!
