Chapter Nine

Case One-Evil Spirit's All Over

Part Three

Harry was not prepared for the bombardment of shock coming from Shibuya-san, especially at a simple innocent question. Looking down at the other teen, Harry was surprised to see a small amount of shock showing on his face as well. Shibuya-san stood up and moved a little towards Mai as he looked at her, his shock almost immediately replaced with anger, though Harry had no clue as to why he would be angry. In fact Harry couldn't remember even once being mad at Mai since they had all got together.

"What did you just say?" Shibuya-san all but growled out as he took another small step towards Mai, "Did you just call me 'Naru'?" he asked her, his voice low and dangerous.

Mai had a look of fright on her face as she stumbled back a little, all the while stuttering out, "Erm… Sorry?"

"Where did you hear that?" Shibuya-san then enquired his voice still low.

"You mean that you have been called that before." Mai's voice quivered a little, and then growing with confidence, she smiled and patted him on the shoulder saying, "Of course, I couldn't have been the first one to come up with that for you. It's obvious someone would have come up with Naru the Narcissist," she laughed nervously as she looked at him.

Before Shibuya-san could respond to her, behind the group someone cleared their throat, drawing their attention to the Principal who had a boy with blond hair standing next to him. Seeing he had gotten their attention he said in a low and scratchy voice from age, "Hello all, I have brought someone else to help out," motioning to the blond, who Harry thought was a teen about his age.

"Hello," the young man said, in a soft, but almost squeaky voice, as he bowed, "My name is John Brown and I'm from Australia."

Mai, Matsuzaki-san, and Takigawa-san all hunched over and stated laughing at his strange sounding dialect. His Kansai accent mixing with his natural Australian accent just made for a strange combination.

The Principal seeing this, quickly stepped in on behalf of Brown-san and said almost sternly, "Mr Brown is new to this country, so please help him fit in well."

"We will sir," Harry said pushing off the door to stand straight. He could see Mai out of the corner of his eye nodded and straighten a little as well.

Matsuzaki-san just couldn't seem to keep her opinions to herself as she said rudely, "Oh my, let me guess, you're looking for a playground," looking at Brown-san while saying it.

Brown-san didn't even blink as he stated, "Actually no, I'm an exorcist."

Those simple words shut everybody up really quick, Shibuya-san's voice cut through the silence like a knife as he queried, "Only those that have been ordained by the Catholic Church as a priest have the ability to conduct exorcisms." Shibuya-san ran his eyes over the young looking man as he stated, "You seem a little young for that."

John smiled making him look extremely cute and young, as he rubbed the back of his head saying, "You really know your stuff, and to be honest I've only just turned nineteen, it's why I look so young."

Harry walked the short distance to Shibuya-san's side, before stopping and commenting, "You look even younger." A welcoming smile on his face, he had a feeling of openness and warmth coming from the young exorcist.

John smiled back and said ruefully, "Yes. I know I look younger than I actually am."

Harry nodded his head as he turned with the others to say their goodbyes to the Principle, who had to get back to the school to do some work. All six of them started to walk into the building, Shibuya leading the way to the base room. Harry could see he was confused and figured it was because the others were following him, when in reality Harry and Mai were Shibuya-san's employees, so it was only natural for the two of them to follow. Harry wondered why they didn't just go their own ways and do their own investigating, but shrugged his shoulders, as they would all fit into the base room.

Shibuya-san made a beeline towards the equipment and started to look over the video feeds, making sure that everything was working and still recording. Harry moved over to help him, and started checking the audio feeds to make sure they were still in working order. Shibuya-san had showed him last night how to run it so he would actually have somebody to help him, instead of just standing around like Mai was at the moment. In fact she and the other three new investigators were just loitering in the doorway glancing at each other and the equipment with confused looks on their faces.

Matsuzaki-san being the most vocal of the group gave a deep sigh, bringing her hand up to her forehead saying in her smooth alto for everybody to hear, "Well, we have an exorcist, a Hakaisou, and a ghost hunter," she complained. "Obviously this bone head principal doesn't have much faith in my unique cleansing abilities." She snorted crossing her arms as she began to boast, "just watch I'll clear this entire place myself," turning around on her heel, she quickly walked out of the room and Harry could hear her heels click down the right side of the hallway.

Takigawa-san nodded his head in agreement with her, "You know, I'm going to have a look around as well, see ya," he gave a little wave as he walked out the door and down the opposite side of the hallway.

Harry noticed that Mai watched the both of them walk out of the room with concern, before turning towards them and walking over. She sat on the corner of a desk facing the monitors and started studying them. Harry then turned his attention to the Priest still left in the room. He could feel Brown-san was feeling a little out of place and it made him wonder if this was the exorcists first time doing something like this. This was a little different from what he would be used to, coming in after they knew what they were. They didn't know what type they were dealing with and would have to figure it out as they went.

"Erm, excuse me?" Brown-san questioned softly as looked towards Shibuya-san.

Shibuya-san didn't even look up or turn away from the data he was looking at as he said, "You may do as you wish."

"I would really like to work with you on this, Sir." Brown-san stuttered out nervously. Harry could feel that he was somewhat unsure of how his statement would be received, especially after the first cold brush off from Shibuya-san.

Wanting to reassure the Priest, Harry glanced over his shoulder and shot a smile towards him, drawing his attention to him, "Well, there isn't much that we can do other than wait for something to happen at this point in time."

"Oh I…"

"AAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!" a scream came down from the right side of the hallway, where Matsuzaki-san had gone down a few moments before.

Harry, Mai, Shibuya-san, and Brown-san's heads shot up and whipped around to look in that direction and Brown-san confirmed their fears by saying, "That sounds like Matsuzaki-san."

Shibuya-san almost leaped from his chair with so much force that it almost fell backwards. Mai hopped off the table, while Harry just started running out of the room and towards the sound of the scream. He noticed that Brown-san was right beside him. They soon came to a stop at a door, with Takigawa-san was standing in front; they could hear Matsuzaki-san's yelling coming from the other side.

Takigawa-san was pulling hard on the door, trying to open it, but it held tight. Shibuya-san walked from behind Harry and started to look all around the door to see if something was making it stick. Mai, Harry and Brown-san stood back watching them, there were already enough people trying to help, and they would just be in the way. Harry thought about maybe using a Bombarada spell if they couldn't open it, but would do it wand less and silent so it could be seen as spiritual activity and not him.

"Open the door, someone open it up!" Matsuzaki-san's panicked cries sound out from the other side of the stuck door.

Takigawa-san had enough of pulling on the door and stood back from it and yelled out, "Matsuzaki-san, stand back, I'm going to try and kick it open."

"Hurry up then," she yelled back, sounding slightly further away than she had before.

Hearing Matsuzaki-san's version of understanding, Takigawa-san leaned back and gave a powerful kick to the door. The door shuddered but didn't open, he kicked it again, and on the second time the door gave a crack and fell into the room, raising some dust up into the air as it hit the floor, making them all cough and wave their hands in front of their faces to get rid of the dust.

Matsuzaki-san stepped over the door after the dust had settled back down, and put her hands on her hips and sent a glacial glare at Takigawa-san, "Took you long enough." She looked like her usual calm, arrogant, and collected self, instead of the screaming and hysterical sounding woman she had moments before.

Shaking their heads, they heard Takigawa-san mutter under his breath, "Ungrateful old hag."

Harry chuckled to himself as he heard the words. He knew that Takigawa-san was lucky she didn't hear him, for Harry could easily see an argument starting between the two of them. Everybody started to make their way back to the base room, Harry staying close to Shibuya-san, as he started to examine the door coldly. Harry watched as he bent down to look at the slide on the floor, just outside the room. He stood back up and held a nail in his hand.

Harry saw the thoughtful look on his face and wondered if he was thinking along the same lines as he was. Turning around Shibuya-san spotted him and motioned for him to walk with him back to base. When they got back they found Matsuzaki-san sitting in one of the chars, and seemed to have relaxed somewhat after being trapped. Mai was back, sitting on the desk, but had turned to face Matsuzaki-san. Brown-san and Takigawa-san were both against the wall watching the self proclaimed Priestess. Harry and Shibuya-san both walked over to the monitors and turning their backs to them, they also turned their gaze to the auburn haired woman, waiting for her to recount what had happened.

Matsuzaki took a deep breath and started to talk, "I walked into the room and stared to look around. I hadn't been in there very long when all of a sudden the door slammed with a bang, showing it had some force behind it. I ran over and immediately started to pull on it, but I wasn't strong enough to get it open." He voice had a slight quiver to it at the end, but she quickly got her composure back as she then added, "there is definitely a spirit here."

"No there isn't," a soft-spoken, feminine, voice echoed into the room, all heads turned towards the voice as it carried on speaking "I don't sense a spirit within this building."
