Mai stood in a blinding light, she couldn't see anything except pure white, where am I? What's going on? She wondered as she was drawn forward, no…I don't want to go that way! She thought stepping back firmly and turning around, seeing dark nothingness behind her, I don't know what to do…I need help! She thought,
"Mai." Naru's voice said, and turning she saw him standing before her, blocking out some of the light, and then she realised,
"I'm dead aren't I…" she said, Naru giving her a troubled look,
"Not yet, but soon…your body is shutting down, your consciousness has been released." He replied as she leaned her head on his chest, "This is where you make a choice." He added as he looked down at her,
"What are you doing here?" she asked as she looked up at him, "You weren't dead, so why are you here?" she continued, concern shining in her eyes as she gripped the front of his jacket,
"Don't worry, Naru is safe." He replied,
"I don't understand…" she said in confusion as she released him and stepped back, Naru's face smiling in understanding as he took her hands in his.
"Just call me a spirit guide." He decided,
"So…you're just something I imagined?" she asked,
"No, not exactly, but it doesn't matter. What matters is the choice you make." He replied, swiftly changing the subject, "You can step into the light and move on, or you can linger in the human realm as a spirit." He explained, stepping aside so that she could look into the light clearly,
"What's on the other side?" she asked fearfully as she looked up at him,
"I don't know…I haven't crossed that line…there is something left that I must do." He replied kindly, feeling Mai grip his sleeve,
"Is there no way that I can go back? Do I really have to die?" she asked desperately, her eyes filling with tears as she looked up at him, I didn't think it would be so hard to leave. She thought regretfully, though as she thought of what would have happened without her sacrifice she felt ashamed of her previous selfishness.
"There isn't much hope…your body is shutting down…your only option would be to stay here, but you will gradually be drawn in unless you choose." He replied, "And I cannot linger, even now the light draws me. I must go." He said, feeling Mai take his hand,
"Wait! I might never see you again, and I don't even know who you are…" she managed before being cut off by his lips, but as she kissed him she knew it wasn't Naru, though his scent was similar and his lips were soft, his kiss very innocent, just a soft touch of the lips, nothing more.
"Just know that I am someone who cares…for both of you." he replied as he backed away, fading slowly,
"Wait! If that's really what you look like then you're…" she said, her eyes widening as he disappeared. Mai looked around; other than the light and the dark there was nothing, and the only sound was that of her own breathing. I feel so alone right now…what should I do? Should I wait and see what happens, choose to stay or just step into the light? She wondered helplessly, feeling her body pulled closer to the light, oh god I'm really going to die! I want to see him again! I want to see Naru! She cried inwardly,
Mai! Mai wake up! Monk-san's voice cried, but it sounded far away, and it echoed all around her, Monk-san? He's not dead is he? No…he'd be here if he were…but that means I can hear him! She thought with a smile as she looked up, seeing a small speck of light, is that where I came from? She wondered.
Mai! Come on! Don't you die on me! Damnit I have none of the right equipment! I can't save her! Ayako's voice cried,
There must be something you can do! Masako cried, please, I'll do anything! She added tearfully,
I'll pray for her to find her way back. John added,
Mai, don't you leave me, not now! Naru's voice whispered. Naru…I…I don't want to leave! She cried inwardly as she looked up,
"You really don't want to leave?" a voice asked. She turned and came face to face with Mike and Eishi, both smiling in understanding. "We still have a debt to pay to you, you saved me!" Mika added as she took Mai's hands in her, "I can never repay you for that, but perhaps I can pay a little." She continued as she looked up,
No! Mai! Breathe Damnit! Ayako cried,
"We're running out of time, hurry." Eishi said, his hands on Mai's shoulders, "We will pass on after this, but first we will send you back…it will be painful…and once you're back the only thing keeping you there for a long time will be your own will…are you willing to do this?" Eishi asked. Mai nodded, certainty in her eyes, though Eishi looked reluctant,
"She can do it. I know she can." Mika said with certainty as she touched Eishi's arm, "She has my blood in her veins after all." She added with a smile, cracking Eishi's resolution. He sighed and nodded, placing a hand on Mai's forehead, Mika's resting on top of his lightly,
"Close your eyes Mai." He ordered. Mai nodded and closed her eyes, feeling her body warming as she stood there,
"Thank you," she whispered, feeling her chest heat until it burned, the pain was unbearable, her whole body was on fire, but her chest hurt most of all, she felt like screaming, but couldn't open her mouth, she couldn't move, not a muscle. Help, somebody! Naru, Monk-san, Ayako, anyone! Help! She cried inwardly, seeing nothing but black.
"Mai, you're not alone, don't worry." Lin's voice soothed, his hand stroking her forehead gently, Lin-san! It seems he's always there when we need him. She thought fondly, feeling a little better now that she knew she wasn't alone. "You'll be alright Mai, you'll be able to move again very soon." He continued, his hand still gently stroking her face. He's so warm…she thought, feeling his hand on the back of her neck, tilting her head backwards, reaching up and easing her mouth open, and then his lips were pressed to hers, what? What's going on? Lin-san, what are you doing? She thought, feeling nervous, confused, scared, but also a little excited, what am I thinking? Cut it out! She scolded, but there was nothing she could do about it, her body wouldn't move an inch. Mai lay helpless as Lin's lips pressed against hers, his hand caressing the back of her neck, what is he doing? She wondered, feeling something enter through her mouth and spread throughout her body, it wasn't a physical thing, and it wasn't air, but she could feel it, and slowly she was able to open her eyes, her vision blurred at first, but then she began to focus and saw Lin's face inches from her own, his eyes closed in concentration, until slowly he opened his eyes, his lips softly kissing hers before pulling away. "Don't try to move too much, your body needs time to regain its strength." He said,
"Lin-san…thank you, but…what was that?" she asked weakly, turning her head as he sat in the chair beside her,
"I transferred some of my Chi to you." he replied. Mai looked around the room, it was white and dull, and as she looked around she found she had a drip attached to her arm,
"When did we go to the hospital?" she asked in confusion,
"Three weeks ago." He replied, "You've been unconscious all this time. The doctors didn't think you would wake up, so once I was strong enough I decided to help your recovery along." He explained briefly, feeling her hand touch his lightly,
"Thank you, thank you so much Lin-san." She said, feeling Lin take her hand and stroke the skin gently,
"Go to sleep Mai." He said kindly.
"Mai…Mai!" Naru's voice said. Mai opened her eyes to find herself completely healthy and able to move. She got to her feet and saw Naru beside her,
"I'm asleep aren't I." She said, receiving a nod, "Thank you, you're always helping me…but I don't understand why, why not appear to Naru?" she asked in confusion, but he just looked at her with a smile,
"Because you're the one." He replied ambiguously, smiling and placing a finger on her lips gently, "You're the one he fell in love with, the one he wants to keep safe, the one I want to keep safe." He continued, stroking her cheek gently,
"Who are you?" she asked as she looked into his caring eyes,
"I am your spirit guide, you need know no more than that." He replied.
I woke up. Mai thought in disappointment as she opened her eyes, feeling someone beside her, leaning on the bed. Looking down she saw Naru, his arms folded with his head resting on them, his head turned towards her, his eyes closed. Naru…how long has he been here? She wondered as she stroked his silken locks,
"Mai…" he sighed, his eyes still closed,
"I'm here." she replied soothingly, watching as he slowly opened his eyes and looked up at her, his blue eyes tired and confused, "Come here." she added as she shifted over and turned on her side, pulling his arm gently as he got up and climbed on the bed beside her,
"You're okay." He observed tiredly, "I'm glad." He added, burying his head in her shoulder as he slipped his arm around her and closed his eyes.
