Do Not Own Ghost Hunt Anime.

Chapter 3 ~ Meeting

We finished putting up the metal shelves and TV screens on each shelf. It looked like we were watching from security cameras except it wasn't. Jesse took out two different looking cameras setting them on the table.

"What are those?" I cursed at my curiosity. I didn't want to appear like an idiot in front him.

"An infrared camera and a thermal imaging camera. They are both used to shoot in total darkness. The thermal camera is also used for thermography to record temperatures. If a spirit appears the temperature will simply drop." He went behind the table once he was finished his explanation to check the wires.

I took a step forward to examine the cameras closer. "It's amazing you know all this stuff."

"No it isn't. My brain just works differently than yours." He said straight forwardly with no emotion. If anyone else were in my position, that would've hurt like a bee sting but to me it was nothing.

I decided to just let it roll off my back and continue to put my sweet face on. "I see," I muttered under my breath. "Well, after all you are Mr. Hotshot boss, so you might as well know everything." I express amusingly. "But tell me - what made you go into the ghost hunting business?"

"Because someone has to do it."

"Wasn't there a case you haven't solved?"

"No." his voice was steady. "I am very good at my job." he stopped. "So you think I'm attractive." he affirmed. His statement caught me off guard.

"Uh, well," I hesitated. "my friends think so." I said a bit to fast.

He smirked. "They have very good taste."

I was completely appalled by this guy. He is very attractive, successful at such a young age and all of that but who would have ever guessed he was such a narcissist. I think I should give him a nickname. What should be his nickname? Narcy? Nar? Naru? I like Naru. Yes Naru the narcissist. I laughed to myself mentally.

Jesse was finished fooling around with the wires. Now he was explaining to me how to set up the cameras.

There are three classrooms upstairs and we put one camera at the end of the hallway and another in the last classroom. We also put microphones up there. Jesse said it was to record and pick up weird noises. On the first floor there is only two classrooms and one opening which seemed to be a waiting room of some sort. We put another camera by the end of the stairs. Towards the end I fell asleep in front of the laptop at base. Naru wrapped some wires up that weren't needed and strolled pass me.

'That's it for today." I perked up at the word today.

"Today?"

"See you tomorrow." he ignored my question.

I laid my head back on my arm. 'Aw man."

Tomorrow was the weekend and after doing all this setting up I am really sore. I walked out the building, my bag swung over my shoulders. I was dark and the stars were shining beautifully tonight. I was still sad over the thought of coming here tomorrow. At least I won't have to tell anybody other than my friends. I am an orphan. I live on my own technically. My dad passed away from cancer when I was two and my mother passed away from having a weak body when I was twelve. A teacher of mine let me live with her once my mother was gone and recently at the beginning of this year she got a transfer giving me her apartment. She talked to the landlord about it and he was okay with it.

Ever since then I have been looking for a job but apparently there are no openings for a sixteen year old.

OOoOoO

I got up around nine in the morning to meet Naru at his SUV typing away at his laptop along with writing something on a clipboard. "What are you doing?" I came up behind him aiming to scare him. Apparently it didn't work.

"Gathering data from last night." he never took his eyes off the computer. "So far there seems to be nothing unusual. " He jotted more down. From up behind, I heard the clanking of high heels on the ground. I twirled around to see a young woman along with a man. They both seemed to be in their mid-twenties. The woman is dressed in a black pencil skirt with white buttoned down shirt tucked in matching perfectly with the black vest on top. Her hair is very wavy like mine expect the color was auburn.

As for the tall guy standing behind her; he was dressed in a T-shirt to show off his muscles and jeans. He has a strong jaw line, as for his hair, it was shaggy just like the style Johnny Depp wears it. I have to say he pulled it off very well.

"That's some very fancy equipment you got there." she sneered. "Little to high tech for children to be playing with." I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

Jesse put his clipboard down before responding. "And who might you be?"

She smiled. "I'm Susan Curtis, a priestess." she bragged. "The principal wasn't sold on you, so he asked me to drive the spirits out."

Naru inclined his head to the right. "I was under the impression that only innocent little virgins could become priestesses. Guess I was wrong." he implied it with no sarcasm but a serious face which cause me and the man behind her to giggle.

"Right." she said through gritted teeth. "Very funny smart ass."

Naru moved his attention to the man. "And what about you? You seem to be to intelligent to be the priestess's assistant."

The man stuffed his hands in his pocket and grinned. "I'm an American Monk. I study Buddhism. I'm Drake Richardson."

"And since when do monks have hair?"

"Ahem, apostate." Susan mutter under her breath.

That wiped the smile off his face. "I'm just on a little high-attest here, okay?" He yelled at Susan. "Play time is over kids. You might have been hired because your office is near by but he said so himself that it was unusual to have a seventeen year-old kid working on the case."

I guess I was wrong about this guy. I thought he was nice but turns out he has a temper.

"Did he, now?"

"Anyway," Drake said after he calmed down. "the principal is wasting his money. There is no need for all of us to work on one case."

"There you guys are." The girl's voice came from behind the SUV, it sounded vitally familiar. I glanced to see that is was Selena. "I have been seeing spirits in here for a while now and it giving me such a headache-"

"You can stop swanking," Susan intermittent. "Are you that desperate for attention?"

"Hey," I shouted. "That was extremely rude."

"You know it's true." She said to me.

"That so uncalled for -" I was cut off by Selena's deep chuckling.

"I will curse a spirit to haunt." she muttered loud enough so that everyone heard. She stared at me straight in my eyes.

"W-wait," I stuttered as she walked away. The look in her eyes was almost terrifying. I wonder if she will really curse Susan. I shook the thought out of my head as I turned to Naru with a smile plastered on my face. "So, Naru what're we doing today?"

He dropped the clipboard, shifting his attention on me. "What did you just say?" I stood silent. "Did you just call me Naru?"

I laughed awkwardly. "Well, I -"

"Where's you hear that name from?" he demanded. It seemed to me that he was called that before.

I gave a laugh out loud and patted him on the shoulder. "Of course you would have been called that before. I wouldn't be the first to come up with Naru the narcissist."

Naru was about to answer as the principal showed up with a young man on his tracks. "Good morning everyone. It's good to see you all here." The young man behind him came forth. He was not that tall but average height. His bleach blonde hair brought the blue out in his eyes. He has high cheekbones as he smiled showing off his dimples. "This is Riley Don."

" 'Ello there mates." He had a heavy Australian accent. "I came from South Australia and I can't express how excited I am to be here." I caught a glimpse of Susan giggling. It made me ponder a thought; I wonder if she has any manners?

"What do you do?" Naru inquired.

"I excelled in the ancient art of exorcism."

"The only people who can do that have been ordained to the Catholic church priests' who have the ability to exorcise spirits." Naru clarified.

Riley chuckled. "You know your stuff don't you? I just turned nineteen a few months ago that's why I look so young."

"Aren't you a little young to be a priest?" Drake chimed in.

He shrugged. "I was an orphan adopted by the seminary. I grew up around priests my whole life. That should explain some." Drake nodded in understanding.

I guess Australia did things differently than America.
