Wow so cool your reviews have inspire me to continue writing I'm honor to have you guys read my story... anyway here the next chapter hope you like...
Currently Mai had no word to describe how she was feeling at the moment. She slowly opened her eyes to see a full spectral of floating white orbs surround her. As she try to lift her head up she could only struggle against a cold substance that had surround her. She looked at herself and saw a black mass was wrapped up around her body and was squeezing harder each time she struggled. She continued to struggle until she felt a cold breeze on her right cheek, summoning up the guts to see, she turned her head only to meet blood red eyes watching her in hunger. Mai's eyes widen as the head opened his mouth to reveal an array of sharp teeth surrounding it...
Mai could feel her heartbeat racing
The creature head moved backwards as if gaining strength for the ever-coming attack...
With eyes filled with horror, at the scene monster lunged violently at Mai's neck. Feeling the sudden tear on her neck Mai could only do the only thing she felt like doing at the moment...
She screamed, and ever piercing scream that even reached the ears of said person currently carrying her.
After a moment of staring at the reflection Naru was violently awaken to reality as the girl in his arms began to scream a blood curling scream. Naru, due to the shock he had received from the scream, had half a mind to drop her right then and there, but stopping himself from the amusing thought he ran to the base and lay the young girl on the couch. After several minutes of the god-forsaken sound, Mai's scream had now stopped to more of a whimper as her hands balled in fist leaving her knuckles white to show her evident pain.
Examining where he had seen the figures mouth at the reflection Naru's eyes widen in surprise as he saw that blood had started to drip from a bite like marking Mai had around her neck, he then sprung into action as he said: "Matsuzaky-san, take care of the wound, Takigawa wake Hara-san up, we need to resolve this, John tell me what information you have from the cliff, the entity might have attached itself onto her when she had gone there, Lin what do you suggest in this matter?" Lin knew what Naru mean:'How the hell do we deal with that thing.' Lin thought for a moment, he had never encountered a snake like ghost before...'But then again': "It's a Soul-sucker." said Masako finally rejoining the gang from her long slumber. "My thoughts exactly." said Lin.
"Soul-sucker?" asked Ayako. Naru nodded and said:"Soul-sucker are high level spirits who feed off of human energy, there border line demons in simpler words." Takigawa then said concerned: "What will happen to her if we don't solve this." Naru flickered his gaze towards the girl and said: "She'll die." Takigawa's eyes widen as he asked:" Then what should we do then? We can't leave her like that!" Ayako nodded and LIn said:" An exorcism might release the monsters grip on her enough for me to attack it with my shiki." Naru nodded and said: "John will you be able to do the exorcism." John nodded and went to prepare for the ritual.
Everyone waited until John finally had come back now dressed in his priest garment. He opened his Bible and proceeded to do the ritual. Naru could only gaze at the small form they had now laid down on a futon on the floor in the middle of the room, and he couldn't help but wonder on the days events. Vaguely he had thought that he was going to die when he found himself getting closer and closer to the bottom of the cliff, but all those thoughts were instantaneously erased as he felt that the subtle pull he had been feeling all the way down had become more evident and pronounced as his arms were being held up, him not being two inches away from the ground. Surprise cross his face as he felt that he was being held by what felt like hand smaller that his own enclosing around his forearms. The sensation quickly left as he found himself now on solid ground. 'What was that?'
His mind stopped from wondering as he heard the young priest say: "In Princpio." and the small body of Mai arched upwards as the demon had retracted its fangs. Taking the opportunity Lin whistled summoning his shiki in attack. A painful shriek filled the house as Lin's shiki had made contact with the creature and disappeared right before their eyes. They all sighed in relief as they saw Mai slump in a much more comfortable slumber. Ayako proceeded in treating the wound as Masako then gave Naru the information he needed.
Apparently the problem was not in the house itself but on the property, he would not had realize this had he not been pushed. Thanks to the information provided by Yasuhara and Masako about the array of spirits that seemed to reside their Naru made his announcement that the case had been solved. Having moved Mai to her bedroom Naru held a meeting on the base.
Takigawa asked in disbelief: "You solved the case?" Naru nodded and said: "Of course, this location had frequent reports of deaths thanks to that cliff side." "What do you mean?" asked Ayako. Naru said: "There have been many reports of ships crashing into the shores thanks to the rough current. Also before this house was built there had been a sinkhole that the townspeople had wasted years filling it up. For some reason whenever a a corpse had been found without identification or with no one reclaiming the body the town decided to just dump the John and Jane does there." John's eyes widen and said: "Then were standing on unmarked graves? How many?" Naru with no hesitation said:" Nearing the thousands." "The mother of unmarked graves." interjected Takigawa, Naru then continued:"The townspeople goal was to fill the hole up to build a resort on it, they were desperate enough to even fill it with bodies, apparently the towns economy was and has not been the best, so they were resorting to tourism, but failed at that when people had been reported dead with their life basically sucked out of them by what I assume was that Soul-sucker."
Silence enveloped the group when finally the monk asked: "So what do we do?" Naru shook his head and said: "The most I can think of is simultaneous exorcism at the four gates but even that I'm not sure if it will work." At that last statement the group mood grimed, they were walking in on this with chance and prayer that it might work. Naru sighed and thought:'The sheer scale of this, I don't even know if we'll be enough.' What they had not noticed was that a certain brown haired female had overheard the conversation and left quietly to take her bath with all kinds of thoughts running through her head.
'Ashta, tomorrow, will see what happens.' was the common thought running through everyones head.
Here you go guys read and review, it really gives me the push to continue...and trust me the best is yet to come, I don't want to spoil but but it has to do with Mai's uncertain past not being revealed yet.
