With Mai..
Mai was sitting on the ground crossed legged with her head in the palm of her hand. "Damn, how am I going to get out of here?!" she thought to herself. She suddenly stood up and started pacing, hoping that it would help her think up a plan. The pacing wasn't helping all it was doing was jumbling the thoughts in her head. She heard a soft chuckle coming from behind her and all she could think was," That bastard."
Mai turned around and glanced at the spirit as if it was nothing but a spec of dirt not worthy enough to be noticed. At the look he received the figure flinched. 'Yeah.. I really should have seen that one coming.' Gene thought to himself. Mai sighed and started walking towards him. As soon as he was in arms reach she pulled him into a hug not letting go until she felt fit, which was around five minutes later. She finally let go and looked up at her old friend. "So Gene… where have you been for the last couple of months because I sure as hell haven't seen or heard from me so explain. Now." she said in a calm manner that was absolutely terrifying.
Gene looked over to the side, his eyes not meeting hers. 'I'm dead, how is she able to scare me like this' he thought to himself. "Well, I went back to England with Noll and Lin so that I can cross over but something happened. When I was about to leave I was suddenly tugged back onto this plane and was told "You still have some unfinished business" then I was stuck here. So I've kind of just stayed with Naru until he came here after he got a telepathic message from you," he said seriously.
"Okay I believe you so now what? I'm trapped here and Naru needs my help," she stated. Gene grabbed her arm and started walking straight. His eyes focused and a determined look crossed his face. "I'll show you" he said. The astral plane started to change scenes as if it were a dream. Within five minutes they were on a darkened street, the pavement around them was covered in puddles. She could tell it was cold but she didn't feel it. Mai turned her head to the left saw an incoming light. "Gene, what is this place?" she asked nervously. He looked down and stated, "This Mai, this was how it began."
With SPR…
Naru and Lin rushed out of the car, and ran towards the remaining members of the team. "What happened?" Naru asked though he already knew the answer. "We found Mai and called her an ambulance. Ayako went with her." Monk said with a disturbingly calm voice. Naru only nodded his head. Masako and John stood behind Yasuhara who didn't even bat a glance at the new comers.
John spoke up though it was quiet," She had lacerations all over her body and a knife stabbed into her thigh. Though she lost a lot of blood her pulse was there, though it was weak. But the thing that caught me of guard the most about this was the fact I felt the presence of a spirit." Naru and Lin looked towards him. Masako wiped the tears from her face and spoke up," I agree with John, I definitely felt a spiritual presence." Monk could only shake his head in agreement.
Naru and Lin glanced at each other and silently agreed that they should tell them about Takeshi. "Before I explain everything to you we need to go to the hospital so Ayako can hear this to." Everyone nodded their heads and went to get in their cars. Just before Naru started to walk to his car Yasu harshly grabbed his arm stopping him mid stride," If anything happens to her, I swear I will hunt you down and slaughter you" with that he let go of Naru's arm and left.
An: Long time no post! Sorry about that, I've been having issues trying to figure out how the story should go. I'm on Christmas break so I should be able to update a couple of more times before the new semester starts. Also, have an amazing holiday! Please review!
