Mai's P.O.V

''It hurts... It hurts, it hurts! Don't come closer!' I tried backing away but the air around him felt like cold needles on my skin, it froze my feet in place.

''No!" I tried to scream as his hand grabbed my neck but it only came out as a muffled cry, my long forgotten headache came back ten fold as his hand gripped my neck...

...

Normal P.O.V

"Mai!" Masako cried as her faced turned white, she lost her footing and stared at them unbelievingly.

Mai's eyes were glowing in Gold light as her hands tried to grab and invisible thing, she glared hard as tears ran down.

Monk ran to aid her but he was pushed back with a swing of unknown force. It made him clash against Lin who successfully stop him from colliding with the van. They were both unharmed but were still getting up when Ayako charged in.

"Oh mighty one, please grant the power to see, the bound Earth spirit before me!" With a charm in her hand and a branch tied with a bell, she took the bell off...

It was just in time for everyone to see how the spirit took Mai's spirit out of her body. Her material body slumping on the ground, and breathing laboratly...

She was fighting hard, unable to scream and trying her best to set herself free, while the Earth bound one raised her higher as he began to suck on the air around her...

Her hair began to glow a yellow color lightly but just as her transparent white figure she began to flicker... He was trying to eat her soul...

"Rin pyou tou sha kai jin retsu sai zen-" just before her last chant Ayako face colour dropped, her nose started bleeding and she felt to her knees...

"Ayako!" Masako uncharacteristically cried as she came to aid her.

"...I'm ... Ok... Help... Me get to... Mai" she answered her as she turned to look at Lin-san whistling towards the entity, while Bou-san picked Mai's body and took it, where Naru and Mai's spirit was...

Masako complied... Helping her stand slowly and when they reach them...

"Old hag-!" Bou-san paled

"S-shout.. up!" She tried to hit him with her hand but it ended as a pat to his arm...

Worry instantly duplicated in the Monk's face as Masako allowed her to kneel beside Mai's body.

Naru raised both eyebrows in a rare show of concern, but it lasted a second only, when Lin returned to them. Brows furrowed as he stated how the entity slipped his shiki and escaped.

Naru, nodded expressionly... He turned to look at Ayako and Masako "where's John?"

Masako just pointed out the front door, as it flew open by John and Yasuhara, both were out of breath.

"Mai" the young priest shouted "oh God! We couldn't get out no matter what! Is she ok?"

Naru once again just nodded, as he watched Lin and Ayako nod in relief.

"Mai" he called out to her spirit, her hair covering her eyes as she laid down on her side.

She slightly trembled, but soon raised her face towards him, tiredness clearly evident on her features..

".." no sound escaped her lips as she asked, but Masako clearly interpretted "she wants to sleep"

Lin turned to her " T-Mai-san, return to your body if you want to rest"

She sleepily raised an eyebrow and when she look at her body she turned crimson red in embarrassment. She reached for her pocket and her eyes widened in terror...

"...!" She screamed in panic to Lin, raising her hand with her key to him

"Is broken?" Masako commented

Lin's eyes widened, Mai's form flickered for a moment and then, the broken key passed through her hand.

Lin silently cursed under his breath, taking the key, while she grit her teeth as tears ran down her face, she reached for her body, but it repealed her...

Panic swarm through everyone as her feet began to vanish, Lin however was deep in chant with the key on his hand...

Mai vanished, leaving a blob that Masako instantly hugged. "Stay, Mai"

Mai's dream

Where was she? It was all fogged not like how it used to be... No wait, it got better... There, she walked out of the fog and towards the forest, she continued to walk until she got to a dead old tree... There she regretted it, the spirit was there... But he couldn't see her could he? Well he added a line on it's count that was near a 100 and he didn't seem to notice her...

She covered her ears as if the old dead tree screamed and was followed by the near living trees...

Normal P.O.V

'Mai'

"Masako?"

'' Thank God, can you come out?'

"Out?" Mai asked but her consciousness felt a warp and suddenly she was standing before a very paled Medium.

"OMY gosh! Masako are you ok? Are you sick?"

The medium just covered her mouth to hide her smile as she nodded.

Mai turned around and was met with everyone eyes on her, Lin was currently writing on her face some signs with a marker.

"Hey! Not fair, that's a mean way to tell me not to sleep on the job" she pointed her finger at Lin, whom raised an eyebrow in amusement.

"Mai, your stupidity knows no boundaries"

"You egocentric jerk, who are you calling-" she stopped her rant, as Naru's face catch her sight... Her laugh was unstoppable, tears threatened to fall, she really needed this distraction... Her mother's key was ruined, Gene didn't loved her and she was almost eaten. This was really welcomed. A Naru faced marked with signs that resembled child's mischievous works.

Ah she cried, the dam broke as she flickered in and out...

"Mai..." Ayako began...

Mai raised her head to her, and another fit of laughter escaped her, Ayako had tissues on her nose and she looked like she had a moustache... This time however she didn't cry...

"You're an ungrateful brat, geez. Don't worry me like that" Ayako lecture her.

"Hai.." she began to glow... And suddenly once again her sighted warped...

She jumped in fright, sitting down on the couch, for once she didn't felt tired but instead she felt hyper...?

Staring were the others, Naru however had a hand grabbing one of her shoulders as if a heavy thing was lifted... Both eyebrows raised and beautiful blue eyes widened in question...

Nausea brought her back from her thoughts, instantly reaching for the thrash can, she emptied her stomach...

"Mai... Your eyes..." Monk began but Mai instantly turn to her left, goosebumps trailing up and down her body.

"Lin he is coming" Naru stated as he grabbed Mai away from the wall as the temperature began to drop.

The Chinese man instantly positioned himself on the middle, a whistle and a slight ground shake made everything come back to normal..

"He escaped...I can't pinpoint his location... He is the land itself" Lin hissed

...

...

...

Ayako sighed.".. I... Can purify the land"

"You? Are you sure about that old hag? Just a while ago you nearly fainted and we can't handle failures-" the Monk began but her purse hit his jaw and sent him on a one way trip to the floor.

"Who are you calling an old hag? You perverted monk!-"

"Matsuzaki-san" Naru intervened the usual argument. Demanding a clear answer.

" Hmph, I can. I felt the presence of the trees asking for help and one in particular was strong and old enough to help, although for some reason he is... Playing dead. "

"Ah! I Know why and where" Mai exclaimed, still held on by Naru's arm. None noticed until Yasuhara whistle in moc...

Mai, was deep blushing as she distanced herself from him and he twice in the month turned to look at his hand for an answer, his adversion to touch wasn't triggered...

Ok see you next time xD
