I own nothing!
Mai's p.o.v.
Koujo and I cleaned up the kitchen then headed to base. "Well, whatever was there left before we got there," I told Noll. "Alright, go get some sleep." This time I just went to bed with Koujo instead of my own bed.
Everyone woke up early and headed to base. Sebastian served them all breakfast. He even made Yuki and Kaname plates as well. Koujo asked Sebastian. "What are you up to?" "I just wanted to see if these spirits would be stupid and try something on me." He told Koujo with a smirk. Koujo said. "Fine, but now you should stay in your human form so the owners don't ask questions." Sebastian nods that he would do as asked.
I came up to the two of them. "Sebastian, would you be a dear and accompany John and Monk when they exorcise some of the spirits?" "Tell me when they head out and I will follow," Sebastian told me. "Thank you, Sebastian," I replied.
The group had all finished with breakfast Ayako went to change into her priestess robes. Then headed outside as she started her cleansing. The tree spirits came to Ayako summons and helped her give passageways out for the friendly spirits and the people who had been killed by the evil spirits inside the house. With the summoning, finished everyone went back inside to base.
"Mai, can you sense how many spirits are still in the house?" Naru asked. "There seems to be seven left. Three of them feel mischief and the other four are evil."
"None can be alone anymore or they will take you and more than likely killed." Naru stretches to us once more. "Your right Naru. They're going to try something. I just don't know what because they won't talk close enough to me so I can hear them." I tell everyone. "So their planing something already. Well, they like to hide people so maybe they want to separate us." Yasu said. "I think your right Yasu," I commented.
Naru stood. "Fine this is what we will do. I want Mia, Yasu, Ayako and Monk to start looking for the crawl spaces. The rest of us will check the hidden spaces for any spirits and John and Monk can you both exorcises any spirits we cross?"
Koujo looked at Noll. "Are you sure about this?" "Yes, if they want to play then let's play." Koujo didn't want his wife to leave his side but they had a job to do and do it they would.
Four hours passed. Noll, Koujo, and John had been back for the last thirty minutes. "There was no sign of the other group on any of the feeds." Koujo side getting worried and frustrated he did not like this at all. Naru was trying to reach anyone on the walkies. He was really worried when all that he could get was static. He punched the table top and threw the walkie.
Mai's p.o.v. from the crawl space
They attacked Monk and me first. Knocking us both out from behind and then dragged the four of us to a chamber where the crawl spaces met up.
One of the evil spirits had them tide up inside the walls. Monk and I were unconscious, Yasu was being whipped. Ayako was being burned. I was fighting through the darkness. I woke up and looked around the crawl space. I let fire rise up out my body burning through the ropes. I turned and burned Monk's ropes. I turned behind me and punched my fist through the wall. Then kicked it making the hole bigger so I could slide Monk out through it.
The smoke alarm in that hallway started to go off from the flames burning the wall. I turned and stared at the camera for a few moments. Then I laid down monk and turned and headed back into the walls. I let the flames die off so I could use my lightening. I found Yasu naked with cuts all over him. The spirit tried to attack me, but I turned it to ash with one lightening strike from my hand. I called Sebastian.
Who came and took off his jacket and wrapped it around Yasu and carried him out. I went further down the crawl space to find Ayako. What I saw pissed me off to no end. Two of the evil spirits where rapping Ayako. My blood bowled inside of me making the blast I gave both of them so powerful that not even ash was left of them. I took off my shirt and put it on Ayako. I gently carried her out of the crawl space.
Koujo's p.o.v.
We saw a figure made out of fire starring at them. "Mai!" I screamed and ran out of the base. By the time we got their Sebastian had Yasu and Monk in each arm. "Take them to base," I said to him as we passed. As we continued down the hall. We see Mai coming back out of the wall (Shirtless.) Her body was toned with long lean muscles. Naru and John stared at the women in front of them in awe. I removed Ayako from Mai's arms. "They need a hospital now!" Mai said as she started to sway. Noll grabbed her and hoisted her into his arms. We rushed both of them back to base.
General p.o.v.
Ayako and Yasu were taken to the hospital. Mai was passed out inside the base. Trying to get any energy back that she could from using only her own. She wouldn't leave Koujo defenseless by using his. Koujo wanted her to go to the hospital. Noll told him. "That's not what she needed. She needs to be near you Koujo.
You too are bound. The best thing for her is to have you near her. As long as you are strong she will recover. I want you to stay with her while John and I check on Ayako and Yasu. Monk will wake soon." With that, Naru headed to the hospital with John. Koujo curled up with Mai on the couch. He slid his arm under her head and brought her head to his shoulder. "Please, Mai, wake up honey." He laid his check against Mai's forehead and cuddled into her warmth. He fell half asleep but kept his guard up protecting his wife.
Ayako p.o.v.
John went to Ayako. The doctor said, "She had a ripe on the inside but the burns were not that bad they should heal in two weeks. With little to no scarring." I smiled at John as he sat down in the chair next to me. "Is everyone else okay?" I asked. "Yasu was whipped pretty badly. But Mai and Monk are fine. Mai just needs to recover her energy." "Mai saved us didn't she?" I asked him. "Yes, she did," John replied.
"That girl is a power house. Did she see?" I asked looking down in shame. "Yes she did and she obliterated them," John answered as he took my chin and raised my head. "You have no reason to hang your head Ayako." The tears started to flow down my face. John came closer and embarrass me letting my tears soak his shirt. "It's ok Ayako," John whispered to to give me any comfort he could.
Yasu's p.o.v.***********
Noll was allowed in after I told the staff our relationship. Noll came and sat on the bed with me. My chest is bandaged up and so is the tops of my arms. "I'm ok Noll. Mai saved me. She destroyed the spirit that did this to me. Noll..." I was cut off by Noll's kiss. My hands found Noll's shoulder and the nape of his hair.
We kissed till a nurse came in and said. "Umm sorry to interrupt but Mr. Osamu can go home now as long as he has someone to help him care for the wounds." She said with a shy smile. "He does," Noll replied. She smiled and said, "Then I need you to sign him out stating he'll be in your care." She stated. "That's fine," Noll told her. He signed the papers. I stood up and put on Sebastian's shirt then we went to see Ayako.
Naru's p.o.v.**********
"Well go a head and say it," Ayako said when Yasu and I came inside. I said. "I was just going to ask how you were feeling," I told her with a sad look. 'Did she think I was going to belittle her or berate her for being hurt?'
"I hurt but I'll be ok." She said looking at John with a smile. "Yasu did they discharge you already?" She asks him. "Yep. But Naru agreed to look after me." Yasu replied wrapping the lesser hurt arm around my waste. I did the same. "I'm just glad you both are alive," I told both of them.
"Yeah, you both gave us all quite a scare when you all went missing," John told Ayako and Yasu. "Alright we should let you rest Ayako," I stated. "Yeah thanks for stopping in." She said to us. "How long do you need to stay?" Yasu ask. "A day or two to have some test and heal then I should be back. On lite duty. They won't let me lift anything over five pounds." "That's fine," I said. Then everyone said their goodbyes and headed back to the house.
Yasu's p.o.v.**********
Koujo and Mai were still resting on the couch in the base. We see Monk watching the monitors and Koujo protectively holding Mai. I moved a piece of Mai's hair out of her face and Koujo's face. I stroked Mai's check and said. "Thank you, Mai." I practically jump out my skin when I see one of Koujo's eye where staring up at me. I looked at Koujo and ask. "Is she okay?" "Yes, she's just very drained." My hand went to Koujo's shoulder.
"I'm sorry she had to use so much power to save us," I said with a deep frown on my face. "She'll be ok," Koujo assured me. "I know but I hate asking everyone to protect me," I said with guilt laced within my face and tone. "Yasu, it's not your fault. She would have done this even if you told her not to. Mai protects the people she loves. You, Monk and Ayako are part of our family. SPR is our family and she loves us all." I smile at Koujo. "Thanks, Koujo." I gave his arm a lite pat and moved over to the monitors.
Monk's p.o.v.
Noll approached Monk. "Are you alright?" Noll asked me. "Yeah, I'm just pissed that they got the jump on us. Is Ayako alright?" "No, she was raped and burned with pokers," Naru informed me. "What? That son of a..." "Calm down Monk. Mai toasted those bastards till there was nothing left." Koujo told me. "How bad is she hurt?" I ask Naru. "They tore through her wall so it will take some time to heal and the doctors are going to do an MRI to see if she has any more damage," Naru told me.
"Can she still have kids?" I ask. "They won't know till all the test are done." Naru had a very sad look in his eyes. "How soon can we destroy the rest of those damn spirits?" I ask him. "As soon as Mai has her energy back," Naru said.
"Wait a minute you are not using my wife again!" Koujo yelled at Naru. "No that's not it, we will need her to tell us where they are and if things get out of hand you too can do that spell you used last time. If there is no another way." Naru told Koujo. "Naru it could take days for Mai to wake. Let me and John get ride of the ones we can without Mai." I said to Naru. "Fine," Naru replied.
John and I went threw every room in the house we got two more in one of the hidden spaces.
"So Mai said there were seven of them. She destroyed three in the crawl space and our two." John said. "That means there is two left. I say we hunt some more." I stated. "I'm with you,"John said. We look everywhere but found nothing. We came back to base and told Noll and Koujo. What we were able to do.
Naru looked at us and said. "Good work. Did you sense where the others are?" Koujo asked. "No, unfortunately," John said siting down on the arm of the couch. Mai squirmed in her sleep and muttered, "basement. In the basement." Then she went silent again.
Still fast asleep. John reached down and rubbed Mai's thigh and said. "Thanks Mai." "Well it seems Mai heard us. We will exorcise the basement in the morning." Naru looked at Monk and John and said. "Go get some sleep. You will need all of your strength tomorrow."
Sebastian appeared in front of them. "I told my lady that I would ad the both of you. So I shall go with you tomorrow and finish the job if need be." Sebastian told them. "That's fine," Naru stated. "Sebastian, you would kill your own kind?" John questioned. "If my lady asks me to I will and she has." He replied with his eyes glowing red with anger about his mistress getting hurt.
None could argue with Sebastian's words. So Monk and John nodded and headed to their room to sleep.
