Chapter 5: All ends well?
"I found you"
Mai gasped and felt a sharp pain in her chest, she felt claws digging on her skin as every hair in her body stood up in fear. She hitched having a hard time to breathe and her vision became all blurry. It didn't take long for her to be enveloped in complete darkness.
=o(^.^~)/=
Mai looked around the place, everything was white. From walls to beds and blankets, it was blinding and very, very uncomfortable. She jolted up from her bed and sat up hugging her knees. She was all alone in that blinding room scared, shaken to the bones. She heard a click on the white door which was right in front of her bed. The doorknob turned slowly revealing 3 people in white. She jerked up from the bed falling backwards. One of the men took a syringe in a white briefcase and filled it with a colorless liquid, her eyes widened when the other doctor grabbed both of her arms and held her into place.
'No! I'm scared!' she thought struggling to break free from the man's clutches. The man with the syringe stepped closer, she closed her eyes not wanting to see what will happen next, until she felt a finger lift her chin up, she opened her eyes but she couldn't see the man's face, but she could clearly see his sinister smile, threatening her at her wits end.
"Mai" his thumb caressed her cheek and he looked like he was ready to eat her whole.
"Mai…"
"Mai…"
"Mai!" she suddenly felt a strong pull out of nowhere, followed by the feeling of being shaken endlessly.
"Mai open your eyes, It's me!" the voice was all-too familiar…she instantly opened her eyes that brought with it tiny droplets of water.
"Gene…" Mai winced and hugged her spirit guide, shaking. Gene embraced the paranoid girl in his arms, stroking her brown locks and gently rubbing her back.
"Mai, I know you're not fine right now, but you have to wake up. And when you do, tell my brother to NEVER leave your side or at least leave you all alone. Do you understand?" Gene was nearly screaming at her, she nodded in reply, too weak to answer him verbally.
"You have to tell Noll when you wake up ok?" Gene said as he cupped her cheeks and looked straight into her copper eyes. He kissed her forehead gently and pushed her out of the astral realm.
~Naru's POV
Naru wanted to drag his feet and run over to Mai, but strangely, his feet were not very cooperative, he couldn't move an inch, neither did the others move from where they had been. Lin couldn't call out his shikis, and Naru already looked like he wanted to crawl on the grass just to get where Mai is and the dark figure which was hovering above the unconscious Mai. He growled, he knew he wasn't allowed to do this but he couldn't stand there and watch the jackass who looked like it was about to eat her or something. He slowly gathered up energy, and a smooth breeze encircled him until he was covered in a bright, golden light. Lin cried out, but he ignored it. He was sick of losing someone in front of his eyes, he knew that if he uses his PK again he'd definitely collapse this time. But he didn't care, only guilt will haunt him for the rest of his life when something happens to Mai.
"Onii-chan…" Kaito crept up to him and held his glowing hand.
"Let me help" Kaito told him, and a few seconds later he was glowing as bright as Naru. He turned to Natsume who was protectively
"Natsume…" Kaito signaled the other boy who was protectively covering Mai in his little arms. They both nodded simultaneously and Kaito glanced back at Naru mentally telling him to blast his PK. Naru fired the energy he gathered in one shot, Kaito glowed luminous blue-green and strangely, the side effects Naru was supposed to be meeting didn't come. The dark entity winced in pain when Naru's PK blew him 10 m away from Mai. When it tried to stand up Natsume immediately burned him on the spot. Mai flinched and woke up panting hard, she then noticed Natsume was gripping her shoulder looking at something. She was about to turn around to see for herself when a pair of strong arms grabbed her and wrapped her body. She looked at the black fabric she was leaning on and the scent of vanilla invading her nose. She blushed knowing it was Naru, 'what exactly is going on here?' she thought as Naru's hand buried her even deeper towards his chest.
"Don't move…" Naru authorized her, she peeked between Naru's shoulders and saw the horrid black figure being incinerated into ashes. She gasped and trembled remembering its face with bloodshot eyes and sharp teeth. Naru noticed this and gripped her tighter in his arms. The screams continued on and on until it slowly faded as the ashes were swept away by the wind and disappearing into nothing. And out of nowhere, a soft whistle blended in the air causing the screams and the figure to disappear leaving the flames and the rest of the gang hanging.
=o(^.^~)/=
"Onee-chan I'm sorry" Natsume lowered his head.
"Silly, you're a good boy I know that…" Mai patted his head gently.
"But I'm the one who caused those burns!" Natsume gripped her sleeve.
"Shhh…it's okay…it's okay…" Mai pulled him into a hug and rubbed his back
"Thank you for saving me Natsume" she smiled warmly at him, Natsume sniffed and rubbed his eyes.
"You too Kaito" Mai turned to the ghost beside Naru she smiled at him and Kaito blushed a little fidgeting. 'I'm sure it's the first time they were thanked by someone…Awww…how cute' Mai giggled and both boys started to glow. Kaito went to Mai and looked at her seriously.
"Onee-chan, that ghost kept on following you… I doubt that it will stop once the case is over" he told her with worried eyes.
"Don't worry about that" Naru butted in all of a sudden and Kaito smirked nodding. The boys went to Mai and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you" they said in unison and ran off slowly disappearing. Mai smiled as they ran off holding hands and were both smiling. 'They're finally together' she thought.

[When they arrived in Shibuya]
Mai hopped of the van and stretched her arms, she breathed and sighed. She was finally back in her apartment. The case was solved. They found out that Natsume had Pyrokinesis and Kaito had healing powers. They were both psychics and the villagers excommunicated them out of fear. When both of them were cleansed, the villagers disappeared along with them. They were still afraid of Natsume thus unable to move on. Mitsuhide-san and the villagers thanked us, he also paid us a large sum of money enough to build a mansion like his. Mai sighed again, the ride back to Shibuya nearly choked her…it was completely silent. She thought that her 'boss' would bombard her with his mouth again but he didn't and it made her even more nervous. She was startled when the door of the van closed and Naru walked his way to the building. He followed him all the way to her door. She opened it and looked up at her boss saying her last prayers while Naru just stood there with a blank expression.
"Ugh…Naru…" she gulped
"Pack up" Naru said and Mai gapped thinking she was hearing things. 'Another case? Right now?' she thought and she heard him sigh.
"Ditch this apartment and move in with me"
