Mai woke to a punch in the ribs, more or less five punches. Her Eyes flew open and her mouth dropped in the sudden shock of instant pain. She wanted to cry, she hated it here. Why didn't she make it, she had been so close, why didn't she expect the front door to be locked, why hadn't she ran faster? Her mind raced with questions as she came back to conciseness. Monk and Yasu stud above Mai, faces red with furry. "How dare you do that to me and then run, after you tell us what we want to know I am going to rip you to pieces." Mai stared in shock, what was h... oh right, possessed, why do I forget? She turned to look at Lin who seemed to be in a state of shock himself. Monk murmured something and Lin lifted his head. His eyes seemed more active then ever. He walked up to Mai, smiled, and bent down to meet her face-to-face. "You haven't changed since the last time we met," Lin said, grinning ", Now this is a person I would want to take to the underworld with me." Lin bent forward, grabbed Mai's head, and kissed her. Mai's face grew hot, why on earth am I blushing, she questioned. Lin smiled and got to his feet, leaving something on Mai's lap. She picked up the small folded paper that said TO MAI on the back, opened it, and gazed at the piece of paper. It was a drawing of her and everyone who worked with S.P.R in the past. At the bottom was a signature, Lin Koujo. "He's an artist," Mai gasped at the beautiful pitcher. At the bottom of the pitcher was a small hand written note. Everything is going to be just fine, just hold on. "He is and amazing artist, I found that in my pocket today. He knew." Mai looked up to see Lin standing in the door. He moved forward, Mai fell of the chair she was sitting on. "I'm not going to do anything," Lin replied as he walked around Mai. She regained her seat, folded the beautiful pitcher, placed it in her pocket safely, then retreated her gaze to Lin. He was staring out the window on the far side of the room. "But that little note wont save you, will it? I have his body, he will not be able to save you." Mai got to her feet. "I will kill you before that man will ever get the chance to save you. I will kill all these people before anyone can reach you or them." He rushed towards Mai, she stumbled backwards. "I am going to take you to the underworld with me," he yelled, grabbing Mai. "I am going to take you with me to the underworld and make you love me." What the heck! Mai's mind exploded. "What are you talking about," Mai yelled, trying to pull away. Lin's grip tightened on Mai's arms, pulling her in. The door opened, revealing Monk and Yasu. Yasu gripped on to Mai, pulling backward as Monk pulled on Lin, Trying to release the massive man's death grip. After a long few minutes of struggling the two large hands were released from their grip on Mai's arms. In their places a bruise started forming. Palm and finger marks grew by the second, pulse shuttering through her arms. Lin kept struggling, trying to make his way to Mai, straining to get to her. Mai backed up against the wall as Lin dragged the two men a few feet, pulled back a couple, then pushed his way forward. Monk's hand lifted, swiftly hit Lin, then put it back to Lin's shoulder. Lin stopped moving, his body froze, eyes closed, then fell back. Monk and Yasu let him fall. "He deserves it," Monk laughed. Mai flinched at the laugh, it was so mean and cruel, she hatted how he was possessed, he was so mean and... she hatted him. Yasu and Monk grabbed Lin's arms and pulled him across the floor, hitting everything that had a sharp edge, and out the door. Mai stared at the open door a little while, wishing someone she knew, who wasn't possessed, would walk in and save the day. Naru where are you, I want you to be here. Please, come be the prince and rescue me form the bad guy. Please, please, come take me away from this place. Tears ran down Mai's face, hitting the ground with a plop. She dropped to the ground, dug her face in her arms, and let the cry flow out. Pushing everything that had happened tho her in the last few days go. Her injured arm throbbed as the grip Lin had on it before Monk and Yasu saved her made it in. She cried in pain, hurt, sorrow, and from just seeing her friends stuck in their bodies while others controlled them. Mai hatted it here so much now, she wanted to go home, she wanted to go outside, how she missed the fresh air. Her body tiered and her mind shut off and her vision went black.
Something hit Mai. Not a hard something that caused blood to flow threw her lung, but something that flew through the air and landed on her arm. It rolled down her shoulder and plopped to the ground. She starred at the now dark room around her. She knew this wasn't a dream by how the room looked, she couldn't explain it, its just was different in her dreams. She moved her hand over the spot were she heard the thing fall, filling over the almost sand-paper carpet. She felt something soft, gripped it in a tight hold, and brought it to her eyes, trying hard to see it in the dim light of the sliver of a moon. Even with the window open it was... Mai looked up. Had that window been open before. She shock the thought away and went back to the small ball-like thing in her hand. An anger ball, she thought. She couldn't remember what they were called except that when Lin or Naru got mad they would nearly pop one in their hands. Another flew through the window, hitting Mai in the face. She got to her feet, stretching out her sore muscles, and ran to the window. She popped her head out the window, starring at the dark street. Another anger ball flew like a bird up from the darkness. She shifted, wanting to scream with joy when she saw a bushel of blond hair appear from the darkness, walking into the light of the lamppost. John, she nearly yelled. She wanted to jump from the window and sore down to him like the sparrows she saw from her window at her apartment. Mai's eyes widened. Someone else was walking out of the shadows, someone how made her almost cry.
Naru!
