A/N: Thank you all my readers for waiting for an update. I have had so much going on I have gone almost completely insane. Sorry if the last two chapters were kinda weird, my mind was kinda flying off into outer space. I hope you like this chapter, I have been stuck between updating and school, thank goodness for the year being over, and my mind has been stuck so I just hope it turns out well. Please comment your thoughts! Oh I thank all that have put up with my spelling, I am not the best speller(as you can tell) in the world, but I can't have anyone from my family spell check sense my mother and father live apart, both don't approve of a few things, and my sister ,who live with my mother and me, spells worse then I do. Thank you everyone who has offered to help! God bless you!
Mai got to her feet and looked around. Everything was as normal as always. What just happened? Mai questioned, I remember trying to get Monk out then. Mai's mind came to a blank, she really didn't want to think about what could have happened. She pushed her self a few feet and looked around. Where was Monk and everyone else. Alright, she remembered getting Naru, John and... YASU! Where was Yasu! She hadn't saved him before her "black out" and the last time she had seen him was... NOOOOOOOO! A GUN TO THE HEAD! She had to find him, she had to see if he was still alright! Oh, am I really that stupid, did I really forget all about one of my friends! Mai's brain seemed to be rolling around in her skull. Oh she needed to get her mind off of herself and find out where the remaining three were, but she had to find them all apart from each other or something would go wrong. If she found Monk and Yasu or Lin and Yasu together, ether of the two would use Yasu as a way to get Mai's guard down, and if she ran into Lin an Monk together she would be... killed! Deep breaths, Mai thought, Deep breaths! First, she would try to find Yasu alone, sense he was the easiest to go up against, second, Monk, he had a will of iron and great spiritual powers and, with Mai's help, could most likely be able to brake from the possession, finally, after all of the work she would go for Lin, the man who wanted to kill her the most. She shivered at the thought.
Quickly, yet quietly she walked to the stairs. She needed to find out were Yasu was, she new for a fact that Monk would come looking for her if he saw her missing. If I were Yasu where wo... no that won't work, he isn't himself. Mai placed her hand on the railing of the stairs, if she was going to find him before she was noticed then she had to start looking. She climbed till she reached the top step where she came to a stop, looked around, then took a deep breath. She placed her foot in the hallway and stepped forward. She had to be quick. She slowly started down the hallway, quietly opening doors, looked inside, then closed them back to the way they were. After doing this little pattern over fourteen times Mai was about to punch a wall. Finally after the twenty-third time Mai came to the last door. She pushed the door open far enough to see inside, took a deep breath, said a prayer, then looked into the room. Mai nearly yelled with joy to see Yasu sitting on the ground, but something was off. She knew that he would be different because he was possessed, but she had never seen anyone possessed sit like that. It was like his limbs hadn't any bone in them.
Suddenly Yasu started to move, but not as if to get up. His legs stayed as though he was sitting on his knees, but his body started to bend backwards to the point were Mai thought his spine was broken. Wait, Mai thought, that's not Ya... Mai's thought came to late, suddenly a black shadow like thing came flying from the being that looked like Yasu. It wrapped around Mai and pulled her through the door way revealing the rest of the room to her. Standing by the side of the door were Monk and Lin. The real Yasu sat chained to a chair against the wall next to Lin. His face was dripping with blood and his cloths were stained. He looked up at Mai and let out a painful moan that gave Mai the shivers. The thing let its grip on Mai fall allowing her to race over to Yasu. As she approached, Mai noticed that Yasu had a broken arm and a few broken ribs.
"What have you been doing to Yasu?" Mai's question was answered with a slap across her face from Lin. Mai wiped the blood that came from her newly reopened split lip and turned back to Lin. "I thought Yasu was possessed like you two," Mai gave a weird head motion towards Monk ", so why did you do this to him."
Lin gave a grin and look that nearly started Mai's head on fire. "Because," He said, taking Mai's neck in his hand ", We knew you would come looking for him, and with his life on line, we knew you would do anything." Mai shrugged, she knew they were right, she would do anything to save her friends.
"So if I do what you want then you will spare all my friends, even Monk and Lin?" The two men looked at each other, then nodded to Mai. "Fine," She said looking at Yasu who was shaking his head begging her with his eyes to not do this ", I will help you."
