Chapter 2
While sitting on one of the benches in the police station I waited for my cousin Neji to pick me up. The policeman actually did make me talk to the captain.
flashback
The policeman led me into one of the interrogation rooms. This wasn't the first time either I have been involved with ghosts who have been murdered before. Usually they were seeking justice for their death so I worked with the police but the last one was two years ago and the captain was different. This captain, the policeman told me, was newly promoted but he didn't like "messing around". After that, he left, and I sat there for what felt like two hours 'though it was only fifteen minutes.
The door slammed open and a man came in. He looked serious. His eyes glared at me as he frowned. But the only thing that mattered to me was the woman standing behind him. Her dark bluish hair framed her face beautifully, but her eyes, the same color as the man's, contained a warmth his did not. Our eyes locked and she disappeared. Interesting to say the least.
"I am Fugaku Uchiha, the captain of the police force." He sat down and continued to glare at me. Uchiha? Where have I heard that name before? Oh right there is a boy in my class with that name. Sasuke Uchiha. Thinking about it, they do have the same eyes, so I guess they're close relatives.
"Tell me why were you at a crime scene." Well there are only two things I could possibly do: 1. Tell him the unbelievable truth, or 2. Lie my ass off. Option 2 it is!
"I have always been interested in becoming a police officer."
"And you think that makes it right?" his glare intensified. This guy was really scary.
"I…I'm sorry," I managed to stutter.
"Just go call you parents!" the police captain stood from his seat and opened the door for me to leave.

"Hinata what did you do now?" Neji's voice popped into my head. I looked up and saw he was frowning at me. He was pissed.
"I'll tell you in the car." Neji made his signature grunt and we got to the car as fast as possible.
After we were both in the car he turned to me and said, "Spill"
"It was a ghost."
"Why am I not surprised?" Turning the key in the ignition, his good old Ford pickup sputtered to life.
"… She led me to a crime scene and –"
"Bailed on you! They seem to do that to you all the time! Can't they find someone else to help them?"
"No Neji! They can't! I'm the only one." Our conversation ended there because he knew that I didn't choose this. It's not anyone's fault, the ghosts or mine. I stared out the window as the trees passed by quickly. Neji had one hell of a lead foot. And then it hit me. "Neji, we have to go to the hospital."
"Excuse me? What room is Haru Matsuda in?" I asked the nurse at the front desk, and she told me in room 410. Going up in the elevator neji and I got to the fourth floor. I followed the signs telling us what rooms were where while Neji was two feet behind me being Mr. Grumpy McHyuuga. 404, 406,408,410! Got ya! The door was already open so we walked in. Ayame was sitting in the chair next to Haru's bed. I walked closer to her and Neji leaned on the wall near the door.
"Don't wake him Hinata, he looks so cute when he's sleeping." Ayame smiled sadly at Haru. He was beaten up badly. He had stitches on his forehead and multiple bruises.
"Is Haru the reason why you haven't passed on yet?" I asked her.
"No ... I don't know why I haven't passed on yet. I told you that before." Ayame started glaring at me. I have to get her into the light soon.
"What about the killer?" Neji muttered to me trying to not get involved as usual.
"You're a genius, Neji!" I ran over and hugged him. He really was a genius. The killer! That's the reason why she hasn't passed on. Her soul was seeking justice subconsciously. "Ayame, who killed you?"
"I can't remember but I do know him or I did." Ayame fingered the bottom part of her nightgown again. It must have been a habit from when she was alive.
"That helps." I glanced at Neji and fell to the ground in defeat. We have to find out who her killer was and why he killed her. And the only person who could tell us is … Haru. "Haru! He can tell us who the killer was."
"Hina, that's not going to happen." Neji took the doctor charts from the end of Haru's bed.
"Why?" What was the matter?
"The guy is in a coma." He pointed to a part in the charts that said it directly. Oh God! Why me?!
"Fine then we have to do it the old fashion way." I stood up with a new determination. This had to work.
"What's the old fashioned way?" Ayame asked.
"I'm sorry Ayame but you reliving the event may help you remember who the killer was."
"No! I am not going back there I refuse!" Ayame disappeared and the window of the hospital room shattered. I shielded my face from the random glass chunks that were hurled at us.
"That wasn't the reaction I was hoping for." I looked down at the pieces of glass that littered the floor.
