"Wait your saying these cats are actually people?" Mai asked totally freaking out. Think about it like this, you're facing your worst nightmare but its level is maximum time ten. "Yes." Marsha replied non-chalantly. "How the hell can you be so calm!" Mai yelled as the boys watched.

*Who knew how annoying she could be when angry*

"I heard that." Marsha said glaring at Naru. "What did he say?" Mai asked a little nervously. "He said you were more annoying when you yelled." she said as she and Gene left the room getting out of the line of fire. "Now listen here you jerk! I am not that annoying and if I was than you and your brother should've left sooner." Mai said wishing she could shake the cat without possibly killing it.

*Well it's not like we had a choice*

"I heard that too!" Marsha yelled from her room. "I don't even want to know. But I am going to make some tea." Mai said as she stalked off. Naru followed her and soon found himself lifted onto a chair. "Just because your stuck in a cat's body doesn't mean you can't sit on the chair." Mai said as she went about making tea.

*I wonder if she makes good tea*

"Naru if you want some you could just ask you know?" Marsha said as she came back out with Gene on her shoulder. "Marsha he's a cat and can't speak!" Mai yelled. "Are you still whining about that?" "Yes as a matter of fact I am. Did you find anything to turn them back?"

"I found something but we're going to need lots of supplies to do it and it'll only last for twenty four hours." Marsha explained as she set the spell book down. "Why only 24?" "Because I can't undo the spell cast on them and we need to kill the faceless one if they ever do want to be free." Marsha said as Mai turned off the tea deciding to make it later.

An hour later they had drawn some sort of complex design on the floor with the two boys sitting in it. Marsha lit the candles and went to Mai who was standing there ready to watch what was going to happen. "Okay so I've got the spell ready. Now you're helping me." "Right." Mai said taking her hand.

"From the strike of 12 count 24 that's how long the spell is for. If to abate my lonely heart. Enchant these gifts I thee impart."

Marsha chanted then looked at Mai.

"Fine. From the strike of 12 count 24 that's how long the spell is for. If to abate my lonely heart enchant these gifts I thee impart."

When nothing happened Marsha sighed and tried again a second time, this time putting herbs into a pot.

"From the strike of 12 count 24 that's how long the spell is for. If to abate my lonely heart enchant these gifts I thee impart."

Nothing happened again but both were far from giving up. "What about burning the spell with the herbs?" Mai suggested. "Worth a shot. Okay you get a lighter I'll write it down and we'll go from there." Mai opened a drawer and pulled out a lighter and lit a candle as Marsha wrote down the spell.

"Mai did you remember to cover the cats with a blanket or a towel maybe?" "I think so." "Make sure please I don't want two naked men wandering around the house." After that was all taken care of they tried one more time,

"From the strike of 12 count 24 that's how long the spell is for. If to abate my lonely heart enchant these gifts I thee impart."

They burned the spell and through the herbs. A loud whooshing sound was heard and before them stood twins. "It feels good to have hands again." Gene said with the towel wrapped around his lower torso.

Whoa!

"If your done staring may we go now?" Naru asked the girls. "Put yourself in our shoes Naru. We thought you were cats for gods sake." Mai said. "Mai calm down they can't go anywhere just yet." Marsha said. "Why?"

"Because who ever worked this magic is packing some heavy power. It took throwing herbs, saying and then burning the spell. This is one seriously powerful being and it's got a grudge against you for one reason or another." "We can handle it." Naru said. "You two were cats for at least a month. That's not handling it." Mai yelled.

"Mai." Marsha groaned. "But Marsha what about everyone else!" Mai complained. "Mai we can't worry about them yet. All I need you to do is sit back and relax okay." Marsha said.

She'd put her arms on Mai's shoulders and the girl nodded in admission before fainting. "Is she okay?" Gene asked. He'd seen Naru faint a little to much and when he saw other people faint as well got worried.

"Oh man Mai. You over exerted yourself again." Marsha said as she hefted the girl up and taking her to her room. Coming back out she remembered the guys were in nothing but blankets. Taking a pad and paper she handed it to them.

"What is this?" Naru asked. "Right down what clothes you want and what size." she ordered as she walked. "Why?" "Because you two aren't walking around the house half naked while you're going to be staying here." Marsha said going into the kitchen. "And this is going to help how?"

"I'm conjuring your clothing so shut up and write what you need down." Marsha ordered as she went about making a potion for the conjuring. The boys sighed and did as they were told. Handing here the paper she lit it a blaze and threw it in the batch. Leaving the room so each boy could pick up their own clothes while she went to check on Mai.

Mai was still fast asleep still but her face was distraught. "Oh crap." Marsha said as Mai began to thrash around. "Those who shout and flail about shall now have to be laid flat out." Marsha said as Mai's body went straight but then she started to scream. "Oh great. Time to wake up." she said but it wasn't working.

All it did was make her scream louder than before. "Mai wake up!" Marsha screamed as she shook the girl harder than before. Naru and Gene ran in at that moment. Naru was wearing a black shirt, pants, and socks. Gene was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans with white socks.

"Mai!" Marsha yelled as the spell holding her in place broke and Marsha got kicked in the face. Gene caught while Naru subdued Mai, which worked pretty easily. Mai stopped thrashing around and the pained expression left her face as she opened her eyes. Looking around she saw that Marsha was leaning into Gene as she stood. "Marsha I saw them and they're in pain." Mai cried tearing up.

"We'll find them don't worry. Why don't you go make some tea that always makes you feel better, though I'm not sure why." Marsha joked. "Why you little!" "You're not crying any more." Marsha pointed out. "Annoyance." "Why thank you."

They're not sister's right?

*Last I checked they weren't*

"We're not biological sisters but we are closer than most friends." Marsha replied. "So do we know how to find the others yet?" Mai asked. "No but I know how to find them." Marsha said as they followed her out of the room. "What's the plan?" Naru asked.

"I need you two to find our demon here." Marsha said slamming the book into his arms. "And why do you need us to do that?" "Because you've actually seen this person and I need a vanquishing potion or something to go up against this thing." Marsha explained as she went to the kitchen with Mai. "And what are you doing in there?" Gene asked as they began to flip through the book. "I'm gathering all the potions I already have and Mai's making tea."

"Then why do we have to do this?" Naru asked. "Because I'll turn you back into an animal if you don't."

She scares me.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

After about an hour and five cups of Mai's tea later Gene shouted, "That's her. That's the woman that turned us into animals." Walking over the girls looked down at the page. "You two were captured by a Dark Priestess?" Marsha asked as she put a hand on the book. Taking a sharp breath of air in and closing her eyes she stopped moving. She staid still for a moment before reopening her eyes. "Yes you were. But this priestess is definitely not normal." Marsha said. "Why is that?" Mai asked a little confused. "Read the passage."

A dark priestess can bestow great powers of evil upon those who she binds as husband and wife. Using a dark binding ceremony, powerful high priestesses overwhelm good individuals with evil and pollute their family lines with dark magic.

"No but even for a rouge like this one we can still vanquish with this spell." Marsha said taking a scrap of paper and writing down the spell. "Alright time to go." she said. They all took hands and orbed to the others.

In an Old Run Down Temple

They found themselves just outside a large temple made of cream-colored cobblestones. Giant vines were winding themselves up and down the walls and pillars of the building. Not to mention some were even crumbling. "Wow this place is creepy." Mai stated like it was nothing. "Mai we've seen the pits of hell this place isn't even scary." Marsha said as they waltzed into the building.

"I've really got to figure these girls out." Gene said as he slouched over but continued walking. They heard someone scream and took off running in the direction it came from. "Mai! Marsha!" the people on the girls' side yelled down. "Gene! Noll! Your okay?" Madoka breathed in relief as a clapping sound was heard.

"Such a nice reunion." a voice said as the Dark Priestess stepped out from the shadows. "It would if you weren't in the picture." Marsha said but she wasn't reciting the spell.

*What is she doing?*

"Now, now lets not be rash. I could just throw your friends into the pits of hell." the dark priestess said. "Do it and die bitch." Marsha said with her hands behind her back as she motioned them around as if trying to create a picture in the air with her fingers.

"Or you and your little friend there could give up your powers and I'll let you all live." "Now see here. I would allow that if it were that simple." Marsha said as she continued the hand motions. "If we do that Mai and I will be dead so that's not exactly a good bargain." Marsha said as she finished her hand motions.

"So you'd rather have your friends die than die yourself." the dark priestess asked. "Marsha?" "I've got this Mai. Just get ready to flee if you need to." Marsha whispered back. Giving a quick glance up to where the cages were before looking back to the priestess.

Looking up since the priestess was ignoring them they saw the cage doors were open and everyone was waiting by them for whatever reason. "Answer me girl."

"Sure. Powers of light. Magic of Right."

Marsha was thrown into the wall halfway through the spell. "You idiot you just cost yourselves your friend's lives." the dark priestess snapped her fingers allowing a hole to open in the floor. Peering down for a quick moment they saw the red glow of lava or something, which meant it was probably the pit to hell.

They heard the sounds of rusty chains dropping and heard the cages rush down. What they didn't expect to hear was the thump of feet hitting the ground. "No you ruined everything." she screamed. "Well I'm a Halliwell its in my blood." Marsha said as she began to recite the spell.

"Powers of light, Magic of right, Cast this blight, into forever's night." The priestess began to turn in circles as Marsha continued to chant the spell before being ripped to shreds.

"Alright!" Mai yelled as she jumped with her fist in the air. As she landed the ground began to rumble. "Time to go!" Marsha shouted as the place began to collapse. "Grab someone's hands!" she shouted as they formed a rather odd half an oval before she orbed them out.

In the Apartment

When Marsha orbed them in she found herself on the counter with Mai while everyone else fell to the floor except for Naru and Gene. "Is this how your supposed to feel after orbing?" Ayako asked. "For first timers yes." Marsha smirked. "How are we going to explain this case in the file?" Gene asked.

"We tell the truth nobody would believe us anyway." Naru said and Marsha smacked him in the back of the head. "Be nice." she said and Mai giggled. "Well I can see why you'd defend Gene since you already protect another idiot." "You're such a Narcissistic Jerk!" Mai screamed while Marsha held her back.

"Noll, Gene your parents will want to see you as soon as possible." Lin informed. "Oh come on dude give them a break. They've been cats for a good month and a half give them a break." Marsha said unafraid of the man like everyone else. "Fine we'll let them rest for a bit but we have no where for them to stay at the moment." Madoka said.

"They can just stay here." Mai suggested. "Sounds perfect we'll be back to pick them up in a week." Madoka said as she dragged Lin out the door. Everyone stared after them before Yasu asked, "Are they in some kind of relationship?" Everyone thought it over for a minute and laughed.

A week later

"So you guys are leaving?" Mai asked. "Thats the plan." Gene replied. "So I guess this is good bye." Marsha said. "Good bye." Naru said as he and Gene walked out the door. When it shut Marsha looked for Mai to see she'd disappeared.

Walking into the living room she saw her standing on the couch watching the twins get in a car to leave. "Your going to miss them aren't you?" Marsha asked as Mai began to cry. "Oh come here." Marsha opened her arms and Mai hugged her as she cried into her shoulder.

"Mai it'll be okay I promise." Marsha said lying through her teeth. She was well aware of how Mai felt about Naru. "Liar." Mai cried. "Maybe so. But if you two are soul mates then you will most definitely see him again." "Are you sure?" "They're called soul mates for a reason."

I know not much actually happened in this fanfic. But I'm writing another that'll have more fluff between the characters and I'll find some way to work Masako into that one. That's all I really wanted to tell you. Ta Ta for now.
