Hey guess here is the sequel, I honestly was not going to do that but I was like oh why not so let's recap. Since Mai has well somewhat cheated death instead of accepting the idea she has been marked. The white strand of hair is a symbol in well I believe eastern culture white is a symbol of death I have read it somewhere. We already know astral projects and show some signs of clairvoyance in the story. But she if growing like reaching her full potential so I think that covers it but don't forget in the last one the consequence thing so let's keep that in mind. Anyways on with the sequel yay! Oh thank you how really like these small series and gave me support and some confidence! Loves you guys lol ew mushiness lol. Again on with this thing!

I gave Lin a very confused look, "Lin didn't you see him?" he shook his head but said "No but my Shiki were sensing something, who were you talking to?" I stood there very confused I mean if I saw him shouldn't Lin been able to see him? "I saw this man he was behind that lady that came in and said to help her." I saw Naru come in "Mai make Tea don't just stand around there." I nodded didn't even bother answering him, as I set up the kettle on the stove I was lost in thought. Lin's shiki felt something but he couldn't see him? But he was in front of me! How could Lin not have been able to see him! I jumped from the sound and set up the tray "Mai" I picked up the tray and turned around to see Lin in front of me "don't worry about it so much for now I will talk to Naru and see what he says ok?" I nodded and I followed him out to the small seating area.

I placed the tea on the table and served her a warm cup, I could feel she was uncomfortable. Naru sat down and said "how can we help you?" she nodded at his direction and then averted her gaze to her cup. Her green eyes gazing into the cup as if it could give her the answer; "Things at home have changed, it no longer the peaceful and loving home that I know. My husband has been hurt twice, being pushed down the stairs and things flung at his direction." I remembered the last case a while back about Renji and his wife being attacked by her own father. (Within chapter if you recall.)

I then said "Ms" she then said "Oh I am sorry Cheika Kobayashi, but you can call me Cheika." I nodded "Cheika did anyone in your family recently died?" I saw her shoulders sag "yes my brother recently has died, he died in an accident." I frowned "I'm sorry" she took a sip of her tea and saw he relax "its ok he was the only one I had before I met Seito my husband."

I looked at Naru "so are we going to take it?" he looked at the woman for about a minute and said "alright Mai call the rest of the group and see if Yasu can come, I know he has been busy of late but I have a feeling we are going to need his assistance." The woman stood up and walk towards the door "thank you and oh anything I can do for you in return?"

Then Naru said "yes have rooms prepared a few for us then one for our equipment." She nodded "no problem and once again thank you." She left and I began to make a few calls.

While I packed some of the equipment I couldn't help but think I cant help her brother is the one doing this but why would he ask me to help her if he is causing this? Is he being controlled by someone else? I sighed and I stood up and I saw Naru walked towards me, "Mai Lin just told me what happened earlier why didn't you tell me?" I crossed my arms across my chest "sorry its just that it puzzled me, it was so weird Naru I mean Lin didn't even see it! I did the only way he knew well besides my reaction and all was cause of his shiki!"

He placed a hand around his chin, I could tell he was in deep thought "Hm interesting I will have to do some research, I will talk to once I find something but for now if anything seems off again let me know right away!" I nodded "sure" I heard the door open and saw Monk walk in with Ayako. "Hey Mai still have that white strip going on there! Don't worry we all get old!" Ayako smacked him behind the head and I couldn't help but laugh "Hey monk I you shouldn't be talking!" I walked up to him and looked at his hair "Oh looks like you are growing a few white hairs yourself I mean I guess you are getting kind of old yourself!" I smirked right below the belt he grabbed a hold of me and began to give me a mess up my hair "Oh really now!? Come on I am not old!" I laughed and I pulled away and I could see Ayako fuming "Leave my Mai alone!" she pulled me into protective embrace "Don't you dare touch her!" he sweat dropped "come Ayako we are just playing!" she let me go and I snuck off finding Lin packing up some of his things leaving the two 'love birds' arguing.

"Almost ready?" he nodded "almost just have a few things and then we can hit the road, we got to go pretty soon before you know who gets upset." I laughed and I hugged him from behind as he put some documents in his case. We stood there for a minute before we heard a crash "Really you stupid monk!" I rolled my eyes as I backed away from Lin; turned on my heels and walked into the kitchen to see he broke a glass. "Monk!" he then said "I'm sorry! I was being careless!" I sighed and began to pick up the glass.

After all the craziness I placed the last box in the car and I turned to monk "well that's it! Lets hit the road!" he smiled "hey Mai can I give you some advice?" I gave him a confused look "um sure what's up?" he placed a hand on my shoulder "I know something is going on between you and Lin just be careful ok?" I was even more confused "um ok?" he smiled "he is older than you but neither the less he is a man, I rather have you with a man than some boy that probably wouldn't be good enough to take care of my Mai!" I sighed "Oh monk um thanks." He hugged me and headed into his car with Ayako while I jumped in with Lin and Naru.

We headed out and I looked out the window; the sky was getting cloudy and the wind began to pick up. My eyes began to give in and when I felt myself fade in the darkness I heard a scream.

YAY ugh took me bit I was like omg how am I going to start ah! At least it's a start um sorry if anything seems funky such as my grammer but thanks for reading my stuff bros and brodetts! TATA for now! Octoberyuki!
