Chapter 23: The Final Say.

As I woke this time, I was greeted with an open space, not Jackson in Naru's body, although I still had the cuts and another along with it, jagged down my left shoulder, bleeding, surprising I wasn't dying of blood loss but then that could be Jackson's doing. I rattled the chains the see if the were loose, funny enough, they were still as tight as he left them.

Seeing as Jackson wasn't here, I took a good look around the room and promptly throwing up, dinner from the other night, all down my right side. Although there was hardly anything there. I looked back up from my puke to see girls, slaughtered, all around me, all around the room, all dressed in, white. I looked down at my dress.

White, very comical.

I sighed and then remembered why I was here. I was here to end this, Jackson, dirty and horrible man had finally done enough, I needed stop him hurting people. I was the last person he would ever hurt. I would make sure of it.

"Jackson, you ugly bastard, get out here, now, I have your answer, along with your weakness," I got nothing back, I looked around at the lurking shadows in the corners to see if he was hiding among them, anywhere. "Come face me, or are you scared I really know your weakness, really know that I could get rid of you,." I shouted once again trying to lure him out, oh I bet he didn't know this was it.

I heard a deep chuckle and I whipped my head around to see him, in Naru's body still, in Naru's clothes, in my Naru's body. I glared. Hard. He was clapping, as he stepped out behind a poor girl hung on the wall, I resisted the urge the throw up again, "Well done, so have you figured it out my darling Elisha," he smiled and suddenly I had the feeling that was getting worse before it got better. "Although the possibilities of having it right are slim, you still wont defeat me," he gave me a small smirk like he was challenging me to speak up and prove him wrong.

I smiled, "So, if I just declared my love for Naru, it would not work?" I watched Naru's body twitch and his eyes widened very slightly, well Naru's eyes atleast. "Yes, that's it Jackson, you hate love, you hate that I love him, how I miss him, how I write songs about him, how I wish he was with me now, how I know that HE LOVES ME BACK," I shout. By this time, Jackson is bent over clutching his middle, with each word I shout I feel stronger he gets weaker. With each feeling I poured into what I was saying, I felt better, he felt worse.

"I love him, Naru's is my world and you cant stop that," he looked up at me with a glared and began to slowly make his way over. "Naru loves me, he loves how he annoys me, he loves my tea, my smile, my laugh, he loves everything I hate about myself, you can't stop that," when I finished he was lying on the floor in front of me, his face by my feet. "You know, weaknesses, aren't all that bad, they show your a real human, but your not so, its time for you to go. Naru, I LOVE YOU," I shouted at him. Jackson with a little and last boost of power jumps up in Naru's body and punches me before collapsing to my side.

My head is thrown back and I crack it on the wall, the light blinds me and I can't see, but I wasn't bothered, as the warmth of the astral plane welcomes me, the wisp caressing me like always, the way I like it, I felt safe. I felt at home.

….

I was back in the astral plane. The wisps, again, caressing my body, healing me, keeping me safe. They were soothing the pain, helping me through the shock of everything that had happened. That I had achieved.

I love Naru.

I had told Naru.

Naru was safe.

I slowly opened my eyes to the violet blue of the astral plane. The swirling of different blues yet the same blue altogether. To my disappointment not the violet eyes of my love. I slowly, moved myself up into a sitting position despite my pain I had to bite my lip from screaming out. My head pounding in one spot in the back of my head. The place I hit my head I realised. I put a shaking hand to the back of my head and felt warm liquid coating my hand. I was bleeding. I thought I never bleed in the plane. Why now? Maybe, it was just a sign that it was time. I shook my head, but the bit my lip hesitating. Maybe it was.

I need help but here in the astral plane I couldn't get any. Maybe it was my time in the end. Maybe this was it. I smiled sadly at the thought of leaving everyone behind and leaving with Gene into the after life. I let my hand slip away from my head as I thought about everyone.

Bou-san would be upset, maybe he will even cry, no, I think he will defiantly cry. I love Bou-san he was with me all the way, my father, he was truly someone to look up to. I hoped he had kids, brothers and sisters, I let a smile grace my lips of the thought of little Ayako and Bou-san's running around. Bou-san strong, he will get through it. With the help of my strong mother figure Ayako they would both be able to get through it.

Ayako, well, I know she will cry, she was my mother, the one who looked after me, protected me, help me, gave me comfort, was there when Naru wasn't there, she was the one that made me who I was today along with Bou-san and the others. I smiled at the thought of their kids again, with those kids, they will have the perfect family and I hope that they don't have kids because its painful, I will haunt them if they don't. Those two are strong and they would keep the group together I know it. I loved them both dearly.

John and Masako, well, maybe they will cry, I wish I was there to hug them, comfort them and be able to say that I was fine. They are/were my best friends with brother and sister all in one. I could tell them both anything and they could help me, and they wont judge me. I will miss them dearly with the comfort they give, and seriously, I hope they got their feelings straight and get together soon, I will haunt them too if they don't.

Lin and Yasuhara maybe even shed tears, really, I think they might. Maybe three each. I hope Lin gets out a bit more and off that laptop or ill break it. Somehow. He should spend time with Madoka. I seriously miss Yasu jokes and his amazing personality of cheering me up. A smile of my face every time I think of him, his personality was, erm, bright. Yes very bright. Yasu bright personality and Lin aloof personality, I would miss dearly, but I loved them, all off them.

Madoka, Luella, Martin, Hana, Kayleigh. Great people I had met along the way. I loved them dearly too as they helped me realize true dreams and ideas. They gave me space but gave ideas and helped me through rough times and gave me these last memories that I will treasure. I sadly smiled with a sigh and looked up at the violet plane as my last thoughts floated to one man, just like the wisps around me.

Naru, I hoped he was safe. I hoped he lived a happy life, remembering me but moving on and not chasing me like he did with Gene. I couldn't have him die as well now. I wanted him to have a life, where different coloured clothing although I couldn't see him wearing anything but black. I wanted to meet someone even though it pained me to say it. It was what he needed. I wanted he to grown old, smile, have kids, watch them grow up. I loved him, but I knew I had to give him up. Naru should be who he is and continue life.

Now with Jackson gone he should be able to get away safely and get to the others. He could close the case, he could move on. I was happy, I realised. I was happy it turned out this way. I was okay with dying and I was happy if it came to this. I closed my eyes with a small grin on my face as the wisps caressed my body as if they welcomed me to the after life. I was welcome, I was happy.

'Mai'

A whisper that made my eyes snap open. He couldn't be here. I scanned the area I floated in. He wasn't here. I stood quickly with the help of the wisps, looking around the astral plane. Blue clear area like the void colour of his eyes faced me but no man clad in black. He shouldn't be able to get here. He was dead. He wouldn't die would he. He shouldn't, he should move on live. Live Naru, I silently pleaded. Please. That was all I wanted from him. Him to have a life. Him to move one. Please. Tears began to fall freely from my eyes.

'Mai'

There it was again, filled with such raw emotion he never showed, filled with such urgency. No, he had to move on. I had, I was happy to die if this was what I was destined to do. This was my end. Naru please stop.

'Mai, please, wake up for me,'

Wake up? I was slightly confused. Was I asleep, I was pretty sure I was dead. The wisps welcomed me like I was dead, was I or were they getting me ready to wake up. However, what if I didnt want to wake up, I was ready and happy to move on. "Go to him Mai," I spun round the see Gene in a white light smiling happily. I took a step towards him, "But Gene, I happy with dying, he can move on," Gene smiled sadly and walked towards me. "No, you have a life to live Mai, a whole world ahead of you, you can do it, your path does not stop here. Naru, he loves you Mai, I have never seen him like this," He paused in his steps as well as if he was thinking deeply, he looked into my eyes and gave me a huge smile. "Go to him Mai, you are not dying today,"

I was shocked, I was alive, asleep, probably a coma from where I hit my head. But was I ready to die. That's when I realise. I really wasn't.

I had only just began my life, only young, lots of years a head of me. I wanted to live, work again. See everyone, get hugs, smile, laugh and love. I wanted to fight for my life with Naru, to be with him always, I smiled but what shocked me more was Naru. "Naru's waiting for me," I whispered.

Gene smiled, "Yes, now go, and remember, I will always be here for you Mai-chan," I gave Gene a sincere smile. "I know, I love you Gene-nii-chan,"he laughed as he pointed behind me. "That way Mai, got to Naru," I smiled and gave Gene and big hug before I turned and ran to wards a warm white light. That warm light just like the wisps caressed me, healed me and most of all welcomed me.

'I'm coming Naru,' I thought determined, 'I coming back to you,' and with that, I ran it to the warm light, and I was back into the world of the living.

What do you think people.

After writing this I think its the best chapter I have ever wrote for this story, but there is still around 10 more to come so.

REVIEW PLEASE.

I love you for ever my lovely's.

Peace out: DemonHairedandBlueEyed.
