Mai stayed in the orphanage when John informed her that the couple whom the court approved to adopt Amy will come today.

Naru was on her side. Calming her down, since she never stopped crying. Since the day Mai received the rejection letter, she's been disheartened, especially since she has a sturdy reason why he wanted to adopt the kid.

"It happened three years ago... I still remember it, it was raining hard." Mai started to recount the events. John made her and Naru a cup of tea, as the latter was listening. "I don't know, but, at that particular night, I couldn't sleep... And my 'instinct' told me to come outside."

"It was very strange indeed since I saw Mai-san coming down from the stairs, around ten in the evening."

Mai nodded. "And I told John about this nagging feeling I had. So, we both opened the door, and there, in the footsteps, we saw her... in a basket... covered with baby blankets and umbrella, with only one note."

Naru raised his eyebrow. "There's a note?"

John nodded. "Yes, it says: 'Her name is Amy, four months old, please take care of her.'"

"I ran outside to see if I can still catch whoever left her there, but I saw no one." Mai sighed.

Naru quietly sipped his tea. "When did you notice her... abilities?"

Mai glanced at John, it was his story to say. He's the first person who experienced it after all.

"It was when Amy-chan still one year and seven months, there's a cat that she really likes, and it climbed in the tallest part of the tree. I tried to get it, but unfortunately, I fell down."

Mai groaned. "Everyone panicked! I even heard his bones cracked. And then Amy, she was so scared... she ran into John, and hugged him, crying."

"And I felt fine afterwards. I even went to the hospital to make sure. And the X-Ray didn't show any broken bones in me."

"I never believed him when he told me about it at first, it was until I experienced it myself." Mai stared at her empty cup. "We went to Ueno Park when it suddenly rain, I got a high fever the next day. Amy was crying and never leaves my side, she was blaming herself for it."

"And you got better?" Naru asked interestedly.

Mai nodded.

"That's when I told John to keep quiet about it, and we, if possible, wanted to avoid Amy to cry in front of others."

John softly patted her back when she started crying again. "What if the couple who will adopt her will know about it? I want her to fall into some greedy people's hands. I don't want Amy to suffer."

Naru brought the girl to his chest. "Then we must be there the see the couple who will adopt her."

"Mama? Why are you crying?" Amy asked innocently, she accusingly pointed at Naru. "The bad guy made you cry again?"

Mai shook her head, "No... He didn't do anything. He's being a good guy." She hugged the kid, she never told her yet about the rejection paper.

"Is that her? Sooo cute~~" A shrill voice echoed in the living room. Mai and Naru stood up, a couple, more or less on their forties entered, accompanied by another priest.

The woman was wearing a skimpy outfit and wore such heavy make-up. What ticked Mai off was she's smoking! For heaven's sake! Didn't she know about second-hand smoking?!

Her husband, or at least, that's how Mai assumed at the man following the woman, was wearing tattered jeans and polo shirt. He has a nose piercing.

Mai's instinct says they're not trustworthy.

"Yes, she's Amy-chan, Hojo-san." The priest nodded, even him felt uncomfortable at the couple.

The Hojo woman immediately smothers the kid. "She's cuter in person!"

The kid wiggled under her grasp, trying to let go.

"Hojo-san, you're suffocating her," Naru informed her seriously.

"Oh, right... sorry, Amy-chan... we needed to sign the papers first before we can go home." The Hojo woman trailed her eyes on Naru. "Later handsome~ I wouldn't mind even if you're younger~" She purred before she winked at him.

Mai's jaw dropped at the blatant flirting in front of the kid, and in front of her husband!

"Naru, there's no way I will let them have Amy!"


Amy was crying, screaming, as the couple tried to take her away. "NOOOO! I won't come with you! I want my mama!"

"I am your new mama! So come on!" The Hojo woman tugged the kid's small arms.

"Hey, you are hurting her!" Mai yelled.

"Shut up!" The new adopted mother yelled back.

"NOOOO! Mama!"

The Hojo woman looked at her husband. "Don't be so useless and help me here, would you?!" She snapped.

Her husband grumbled an incoherent word before he grabbed the kid's other arm.

"NO! NO! LET GO!" She screamed. "LET GO OF MEEEE!"

Mai, Naru and everyone who was watching widened their eyes when the couple was shoved away with an invisible force.

Amy tottered towards Mai, crying.

"MAMA!"

Mai immediately brought the crying kid in her arms. Mai stared at Naru.

"Wha-What was that?!" She asked unbelievably.

"PK..." Naru whispered in disbelief. "Have she done it before?" He asked the Mai, who was still calming Amy.

Mai shook her head. "No… at least, I haven't seen her exhibiting such ability."

John made a sign of the cross.

"What should we do about them?"

He asked his fellow priests, referring to the unconscious couple on the ground.
