A/N:- So here I am again! I had an awesome response to the last chapter with 8 reviews! 8! How mind blowing! Now before I start thanking people I will say that one of my reviewers gets a mention three times as she reviewed three chapters and I'm too lazy to edit three chapters so I've decided to lump them all in here, hope y'all don't mind! So, thanks to...
Alexkitkat thank you for your review! (I'm glad I made your day with the last chapter and I hope this one also makes your day! Although I agree about Naru's age and knowledge again it still didn't stop me from getting this joyful experience a few weeks ago and I'm older than him!)
adanyasophia07 thank you for your review! (That was harsh, you're right! Luella did get what she deserved and I sympathize with Naru too! I also am glad you enjoyed my food substitutes for uh...'other things'!)
xSapphirexRosesxFanx thank you for your review! (He does have his Mai, you're right and I hope I did a good job of using her to calm him in this chapter! I think if it were me I'd have died of embarrassment by now too!)
ardx thank you for your review! (I'm so glad you enjoyed what I wrote for your suggestion! Sorry about making you laugh so much you couldn't breathe! At least I know I'm writing my humour bits right!)
seshomaru94 thank you for your review! (I guess I'm glad I made you laugh so much! What Luella did was very wrong and she did deserve a telling off from Mai! I'm glad you liked what I did with your suggestion and doubt I'll be able to look at a banana either!)
NoCoolNameHere thank you for your review! (It's a shame I couldn't thank you personally like I do with my other reviewers as your review was awesome and I couldn't stop smiling! It is about time someone put Luella in her place in this fic and your right, no wonder Naru chooses to live elsewhere! Kit is uh...the anti-Naru right now although I think we get a wider perspective on him towards the end of this chapter! I honestly don't know what to say about him, I guess he's like marmite you either love him or hate him! I wouldn't want to be in Lin's shoes either!)
lici910 thank you for your review! (Luella did deserve it! I'm glad this makes you laugh so much, although I think this chapter is a little bit more dark than the others but hopefully it will lighten up next chapter!) and finally...
Ariana Taniyama thank you for your review of chapter 13! (I'm glad you enjoyed 'the talk' with the Davis's! Kit in this chapter is to make Naru jealous, I think he succeeds! hope you enjoy the things I do, do with Kit!)
Ariana Taniyama thank you for your review of chapter 14! (I like the bit with the coin also! There's a bit more Git for you in this chapter after all Naru's narrating! I think I would refuse to go near a shop too now if I were him!)
Ariana Taniyama thank you for your review of chapter 15! (I like the bit where Naru makes dinner too! If I were Mai I'd have done the same! I hope you enjoy this chapter!) Thanks also go to favoriters and alerters and anyone who talked to me this week, it all means so much to me!
Man, this is turning into a chapter where the A/N is as long as the story!
This is dedicated to seshomaru94 for her 2 brilliant ideas that went into making this chapter!

Naru's POV
I felt so embarrassed! 'How could Lin do that to me? And Mother!' I decided to go and cool off in my room. As I was ascending the stairs I heard Mai's raised voice. I couldn't quite catch what she was shouting or at whom. I determined I didn't want to know and continued on to the sanctuary of my room. Upon reaching my destination I opted to read one of the books I'd brought with me on parapsychology. The books Madoka had thrust upon me earlier stared at me tauntingly from my bedside table. 'Emotions and Relationships for Dummies! What kind of moron does she take me for?'
I heard a soft knock on my door. I recognized it immediately; after all I hear it approximately twenty times a day. I marked the page of my book, got up and opened the door, confirming my suspicions.
"Naru, are you…can I come in?" Mai asked. She was obviously going to ask if I was okay, but I guess she remembered what just happened and changed her question. I shifted in the doorway to make room enough for her to enter. She threw herself down on the bed and sat cross-legged on top of it.
"Come; sit here next to me Naru." She said, patting a small space beside her. Sighing, I gave in and stretched out on the bed next to her. She immediately stretched herself out and cuddled up against me with her head on my chest.
"Hey Naru?" She mumbled as I wrapped an arm around her.
"Hmm?" I was a little wary of what Mai was going to say next, considering the subject of the discussion we'd had downstairs.
"I just thought you should know…" She started. 'Oh God! Here it comes! Some lewd comment about my body!' "…I think what Luella did was wrong and I made sure to tell her so. I hope you don't mind." She informed, snuggling closer to me. 'Huh, I guess I was wrong!'
"I don't mind." I replied, relaxing a little.
"Also, are you really the size of that banana?" She added cheekily. I glared at her, not pleased by her new topic of conversation. She hit me lightly and giggled at my expression.
"I was joking! I couldn't help myself when I felt you tense and relax at what I was going to say. I'm not actually interested."
"Good, because you'll never find out!" I retorted a little jokily.
"You don't know that." She responded. "After all Lin and the others seem to think it's inevitable." 'I'm sure they do! It's none of their damn business though!'
Mai must have sensed my foul mood as the next thing I felt were her lips upon mine. It only took me half a second to respond to her rather calming kiss and I felt at peace for the first time since returning from our trip out. Mai was first to pull away and look deep into my eyes.
"Naru, you can talk to me about how you feel you know. There's no reason for you to keep everything to yourself." She rationalised, settling against me again. 'I know that. Doesn't mean I'm going to though!' Just then the door flew open and a rather flustered looking John burst in.
"Oh, sorry, Kazuya, Mai!" He apologized, upon seeing us cuddled up.
"What is it John?" I demanded in an icy tone. 'I seriously need to start locking doors if I ever want some privacy and alone time with Mai!'
"We've got trouble downstairs and we really need you to come help!" The young priest babbled.
"Trouble as in what?" I asked again, starting to lose my patience. I felt Mai covertly pinch me, I'm assuming for my attitude towards the Australian, who looked a little nervous and embarrassed.
"As in Kitai's possessed." John informed, looking at me pleadingly. I sighed and got up, going over to where the priest stood. 'Looks like I have no choice but to go help Git!' The three of us trailed down the stairs where I could hear Git's raised voice shouting colourful things in English. 'Thank goodness Mai can't understand what he's saying!' I felt someone poke me in the back of the head and turned to glare at Mai who was behind me.
"Psst, Naru, what's he saying?" She whispered loudly at me.
"I'm not telling you! It's too coarse for female ears!" I replied.
"I'll show you coarse!" I heard her mumble. 'I'm sure you would too! I still won't tell you what he's saying though!'
We entered the base to see Father covering Mother's ears from the foul tirade pouring out of Git's mouth and Lin trying to restrain Git from hurting anyone.
I had heard, as we were descending the stairs, Git shouting about letting him kill a female residing within the house. He of course expressed it in much more vivid terms, but I was more concerned as to whom the object of his wrath was. There were, after all, only three females in the house, Mother, Ayako and Mai.
My inner question was answered as 'Git's' eyes landed on Mai and he continued his struggle with Lin with renewed energy.
"I'll kill you! I'll murder you, you Bitch for what you've done to me!" He yelled, his intents towards my girlfriend clearly displayed in his furious looking eyes.
"N…Naru, w…why is he looking at me like that?" Mai stuttered, hiding closer behind me.
"I don't know Mai but I think it would be best if you run and lock yourself in a room." I advised her, maintaining eye contact with the possessed teenager in front of us. Immediately she turned and fled the room, 'Git' yelling after her.
"I'll find you Bitch and when I do you'll pay dearly!" I silently looked at Lin, knowing he would understand what I wanted to do and he gave a solemn nod in response.
"Ayako I want you to go after Mai, make sure she stays safe. Can you do that?" I asked, still carefully watching 'Git'. I quickly flicked my eyes to her as she too nodded in response and quickly made her way out of the room.
"You can't protect her from me forever! I'll gut you all!" 'Git' yelled after the miko, struggling against Lin some more.
"Sir, could you calm down?" I asked, finally addressing the possessed problem.
"Why should I listen to you? You're screwing her aren't you, yes, it's written all over your face. No wonder you want to protect that worthless whore!" He sneered. Unperturbed, I continued on with my line of questioning.
"Would you be so kind as to tell me your name?"
"Why should I tell you my name?" He questioned angrily.
"So that I may address you correctly." I replied diplomatically, trying to remain calm. He looked as though he was contemplating telling me for a moment before finally giving in to my request.
"My name is Thomas White. I was killed by that Bitch Violet who you are protecting." Thomas answered.
"I assure you Mr White, the young lady we are protecting is not Violet and I also assure you she did not kill you." I responded. 'I never thought I'd call Mai a lady in a million years!'
"Like you'd know!" He scoffed. "You weren't there so you don't know."
"Do you know how many years it has been since your death Mr White?" I asked, taking down as much information as possible in my notebook which I had picked up off the coffee table.
"One." Was his blunt response.
"I see. And could you tell me what year it is now?" I queried, focussing my attention on him. He looked as though he thought I were treating him like a fool and was ready to explode with indignity. "Just for my records, you understand." I added quickly, hoping to calm him a little. He sighed, defeated.
"Eighteen thirty eight." Thomas replied flatly.
"Uh-huh. I'm sorry to have to tell you this but you have been dead for almost two hundred years." I informed him.
"No, that's impossible!" He declared. "That Bitch killed me and now I will have my revenge!" He tried to lunge away from Lin again but he was held too tightly.
"One last question Mr White. How did you die?" I asked, watching his reaction carefully. He twitched a little before a cold fury seemed to settle itself over his features.
"I was stabbed by that whore you're protecting!" He announced. "But I will have my revenge, mark my words. You will all suffer!" He tried to lurch out of Lin's hold unsuccessfully again. Lin altered his grip on the possessed teenager, managing to effectively knock him unconscious.
"John, can you perform an exorcism?" I questioned, turning to the priest. He nodded meekly and stepped forward to do his duty. Once the priest had finished we all sagged onto the sofas, hoping upon Git's awakening we could all breathe a sigh of relief. An hour later the person in question's eyelids fluttered and scrunched up as he emitted a slight moan of pain.
"My god! Who hit me? Point me to them and I'll kill the Bastard!" He growled in Japanese, holding his head. Audible breaths were let out as the success of the exorcism was confirmed.
"I have the feeling he's not gone though." John said to me.
"You're right, he's not!" A girl with long, almost black hair and light amber like hazel eyes said from the doorway, flanked by Mai and Ayako.
"Excuse me, who are you?" I asked as everyone stared at her looking like they were wondering the same thing.
