The next day I was walking with Mai to school, we were walking under the blooming cherry blossoms. "I'm so happy you got me up early now we have the cherry blossoms all to our selves" Mai said with a small smile. I smiled at her as I brushed aside a long stand of my dark hair out of my face. I looked at Mai as she looked around in aw at the flowers I thought about how different she looked from her true appearance. In her true appearance instead of short brown hair and brown eyes she had long shoulder length red hair and ocean blue eyes.
Well in my normal appearance I had hair a few inches longer then waist length in a reddish brown hair with forest green eyes instead of my current appearance. In my current appearance I had long dark brown hair that reached to mid back with light green eyes. Mai suddenly stopped and I looked down at her in confusion. "You know the more I look at the old school house the creeper it appears" she muttered. "I know what you mean, it looks like it belongs in a horror movie" I said as I stared at the old building.
"Wait what's that?" she muttered before approaching the door to looked inside. Inside stood a camera that appeared to have just been set up opening the door we walked in. "I'm going to do a search for spirits you see if you can tell who set up the camera" I said as I walked through an open door leaving Mai with the camera. Closing my eyes I focused on searching for any source of life or spirits inside the building. "Stop! Don't touch that!" A male voice yelled from were I left Mai. My eyes snapped open and on instinct I started running to the area where I heard the voice yell.
"I'm sorry I'll leave now" Mai said in a panic as she shot away from the camera at that moment I reached the door way. Mai looked up startled as the large wooden shoe rack started to fall towards her. My eyes widened in panic even though she wouldn't be hurt by the rack it would still hurt. And she couldent use her powers to get out of the way with the human there. I ran at the two to push them out of the way when the human man ran out an pushed Mai. I was right behind the man and shoved him the rest of the way out of the bookcase just in time for it to crash to the floor.
Mai was laying on the ground a few feet away from the mans will I had my arms wrapped around the mans middle where I had landed. "What's going on here?!" Yelled A cold voice I recognized as Kazuya. "I'm sorry he startled me!" Mai said desperately trying to explain. I unhooked my hands from around the unknown man that I had saved. Looking over at where the shoe rack had landed I saw that my foot had barely missed being crushed. Sitting up the man glared at Mai. "Lin, girls are you three ok?" Kazuya asked. "I'm fine" the black haired man answered. "What about you?" He asked looking at me. "I'm fine." He then turned to Mai " I met you yesterday your name is Mai right?" Mai nodded. "Well Mai I thought you should know the morning bell just rang and your late." Mai's eyes showed no surprise as she turned to me. "Ling are you sure your all right?" She asked. "I'm all right but you should get going" I reassured. "All right" she said before running out out of the building for a class she didn't have to attend.
The man named Lin got up and held out a hand for me I took it and he pulled me to my feet. "What is your name miss?" Kazuya asked I could tell his was furious. "My name is Leigh Song" I told him and noticed how Lins eyes widened in surprise. "Your Chinese?" Lin said in a quite voice. Kazuya remained unfazed "But you can Ether call me miss Sung or Leigh." "Then miss Sung tell me why you too where here" he demanded. At his tone I almost told him off on treating someone older then him like that but decided not to .
"We noticed the camera and as an employ of the school I came in to investigate and Mai followed." "You must not have been informed but we were hired by the principal" Kazuya sighed in announce pinching the bridge of his nose. He sighed releasing his nose and looked at me " at lest you pushed my assistant out of the way." I looked at him "I was planing on pushing Mai out of the way but he reached her first so I pushed him instead." I explained as I started to brush off my long white skirt and jean jacket of the dirt from the ground.
"Anyway you can leave now but I would like you to return after school gets out" he said in a tone that was made it clear there was no arguing. "Fine then" I said and left with out another word. Once out of the old school house I quickened my pace down the side walk I hadn't been able to get a clear reading of the building but what I was able to get told me the place was dangerous. Even if he hadn't told me to come back latter I would have. I ignored everything around me as I focused on getting away from the 2 men.
I was looking for a place that could talk and make sure I wasn't over heard. A few blocks away from the school was an empty park taking a seat on a bench I glanced around to make sure I was alone. Once I was sure I pulled out my silver cell phone that had a pair of white wings engraved on it. Opening it I speed dialed a number and held it up to my ear. Immediately someone picked up "How may I be of service?" "There's a chances we won't be able to work tonight could you send someone to take over our shift." "Of course, may I ask the reason for your absence?" "We have an appointment with a human we can't change." I said simply. "I understand I'll arrange your replacements." The one on the other end said before hanging up. Replacing my phone in my pocket in my pocket I let out a sigh. I was really dreading meeting him agin.
I started packing up my school bag when the bell rang signaling the end of school. "Mai are you leaving now?" One of the two girls that I tell ghost story's with asked. "We're so post to tell ghost story's with that cute guy remember" the other one said. I hadn't bothered to tell them about the incident that morning. "I'm not interested" I told them with out looking up from packing my bag. "Aw! Come on Mai please this is our chance to tell ghost stories with a senior." The first girl begged.
"Did you say ghost story's?" A girls voice that I recognized as Koroda demanded. At her statement I looked over at her. "Is that what you three do after school everyday." She continued as she entered the the class room. "Then no wonder I've had this headache for so long" she said as put a hand the her head. "I'm vary in-tuned to sprits" she said crossing her arms over her chest. "When they gather in groups I get headaches" she continued glaring at us. "So your blaming us for that" I said in a board tone I knew she only wanted attention. "Of course I am, when ever you tell one of your little ghost story's you attract low level spirits and they attract stronger sprits and then were in big trouble." I held my self back from rolling my eyes some of what she was saying was right but the part about ghost story's attracting sprits was so far off it was funny.
"So when you entertain yourselves with these story's your putting me at risk." She continued, as she approached us. "So tell me if your sensitive to spirits like you claim do you sense anything in the old school." We all turned to see Kazuya standing in the doorway. I sighed turning my away as the two girls I told ghost stories with said in unison "oh my gosh he came to find us." Walking up to him Kroda spoke "Hold on are you the one you put these girls up to telling these girls up to telling these ridiculous ghost story's." "You didn't answer the question" he said with his fake smile. "Could it be you physic abilities are made up."
"For your information there are numerous sprits of those who died in the war in that school house." "In fact I'm positive that building was used as a hospital in the war" she continued "I've seen too many injured sprits." He crossed his arms "hmm I wasn't aware of hospital being here during the war." I blinked hiding my surprise at the story Kardo had told, there had never been a hospital any were near where the old school house stood. "I knew the school was founded before the war, so maybe this was a medical school" he suggested although I could tell he knew other wise.
I ignored the rest of there conversation until I heard Kazuya say my name. "Oh and Mai could you come with me" he said as a demand. I told my friends good bye before following him down the hall in silence. "I'm sorry about what happened this morning, I hope your friends ok." "Oh that, he's find your friend miss Song pushed him out of the way." "That's good" I sighed in relief. "About the camera" he continued. "It was destroyed wasn't it" I asked even though I all ready knew. "Yes it was." "I'll pay for it" I offered. "It's quite expensive, do you think you could actually afford it?" I paused "no I couldn't." I had more then enough money to pay for at least a dozen cameras but I wanted to were this would lead. "Then you'll work for me until you can pay it off." "What do you do anyway?" "We research the paranormal." I already a felling that they were paranormal researches I pretended I was surprised.
The school bell had just went off when I arrived at the old school house. Walking inside I called out "Hello?" "On the second floor" came the response. Walking up the old stairs I headed to the area where I felt the group of people. Entering the room I looked around. There were metal shelves with equipment filling them off to the side was Lin setting in front of several monitors. "By the look of the equipment I'd say you guys are paranormal investigators." At my words both Lin and Kazuya looked up from what they were doing to look at me in shock. "Am I correct?" I asked. "You are miss Sung" Kazuya answered. "Just Leigh if you don't mind." "Leigh it is, now go help Mai finish setting up the cameras." I glared at him before going to help Mai.
"So Mai tell me what did I miss?" I asked quietly so the two couldn't hear. "He's making me work for him to pay off the debt of the camera that broke." "I see" I said with a nod. We had put up most of the cameras and audio recorders by now. "What about work?" Mai whispered so quietly that the recorder couldn't pick it up. "Don't worry I got it taken care of." Mai nodded in understanding as we headed for the base on or way there Mai whispered to me "One more thing I've dubbed him Naru the narcissist". "Took you long enough" Kazuya said when we entered the room. "Well it takes a while to set up all the cameras" I said in an even tone.
After what felt like hours of doing nothing Mai had her head on a table well I stood leaning against a wall looking at my phone. "Well thats all we have to do for tonight" Naru said not looking up from his clip board. "Dose that mean we have to come back tomorrow?" Mai asked. "You do need to pay for the camera you broke." he stated.
