AN: hi! It's me again!!! Let me present to you the spirit of the past part 1…. I know you are wondering were the interlude chapter would go but… gomenasai… I haven't quite found my inspiration yet… actually and factually, I'm running out of ideas… it would take me a few weeks to do that chapter so please just wait…

Chapter 3: The Spirit of the Glass, what! Past? part 1

The narcissist barked the orders one by one. After making sure Hara-san complies with his request, he slammed the door of his office. Poor Mai…

"Mai, are you all right?" I asked her.

"Yes, I'm still in one piece, Osamu-san." She answered me.

"Well, you heard the boss, let's get out of here." Matsuzaki-san proclaimed.

And we went to her apartment with me supporting a half-cheered up Mai.

o0o

"What is happening, Noll?" Madoka asked me.

"I just explained it to you. Tanaka-san is Gene's killer. She gave us her testimony."

"But Noll, she also said that she's been taken over by a spirit that time."

Here we are, arguing whether to tell the police about my brother's killer or not, in the lobby. Lin took the responsibility to guard Tanaka-san. Takigawa-san just kept silent, soaking up on the news like a sponge.

"You mean to say, that girl killed your brother?" he asked at last and I suppressed yet another urge to roll my eyes. It's been like a million times that I am repeating the same verse again.

"I guess you better just ask the victim." He said. Now he's talking…

I held out my hand, palm up. Madoka got the message and passed me a mirror. I looked into its depths and looked into my sapphire blue eyes, his eyes. They looked sad.

'Don't tell the police, Noll.'

'Why shouldn't I?' I asked

'Please, I'll explain everything…' and he trailed away.

I almost let a sigh escape my lips. Well, the victim just spoke his judgment…

"What did he say Noll?" Madoka asked me.

"He said that I must not tell the police."

"If that's the case, then what are we going to do with the girl?" Takigawa-san asked, "we could make her stay with us but who could lend up a space?"

'I can't let her stay at Mai's,' I told myself, 'the only solution now is…'

"Madoka, could you have her in your apartment? I'll send Lin and Takigawa-san up to help you."

"No Noll." She said while wagging her finger, "she'll be staying in your rented house. I'll just come and guard the girl for you, okay."

"But – ," I said.

"Okay?"

"I'll – ,"

"Okay?"

"Okay," I finally said, "I'll be expecting you at six sharp."

"Okay"

'Damn', I cursed in my head, 'it's hard to make her do a thing…'

o0o

"What did you see, Mai-chan?" I asked

"Well, I saw …" and she narrated what she saw…

'So that's why she cried…'

"Did you cry because you thought it was Noll?" I asked her.

We were in her apartment. Matsuzaki-san, Brown-san and I were in the living room interrogating Mai. Hara-san is currently making tea in the kitchen.

"You shouldn't ask to early, Yasuhara-san!" Matsuzaki-san scolded me.

"I guess she is ready to answer my questions." I said.

"The only person who knows when to answer our questions is Mai," Brown-san said, "Mai, are you alright answering our inquiries?"

"I… I'm okay, but … can we skip the last question?" she said.

I sigh. She really did confuse Gene with Noll. The heart really can make us blind…

o0o

"Hold her!" I yelled as I tried radiating PK around the room. Tanaka-san was possessed a while earlier by some unknown but strong spirit. The bad news is the fact that we are already in my house and the spirit targeted me mainly, with flying spoons, knives and forks.

'Damn' I said to myself as a knife managed to scrape my arm.

Takigawa-san and Lin are both having a hard time finishing their chants.

I tried contacting Gene.

'Gene…'

'Noll…'

'Are you seeing this?'

'Yes, the spirit you are dealing with is a psychic…'

'How are we going to defeat this?'

'You won't be able to…'

What!

'What are you saying!?'

'You won't be able to defeat this spirit…'

'Are you saying that you are just going to let me get cut here to pieces!?'

'No…'

'Then what should I do?'

'Maybe you should start wearing this spirit up.'

'Wow… good plan'

'That's the only thing I can do for you, the rest of the details will be gathered at midnight'

'By the way,' he added, 'Mai cried your name when you pulled her up…'

"Damn…" I cursed under my breath. He almost made me lose my concentration on the increasing PK around me. 'Don't joke about this, Gene…'

You must be Kisho…

"Who are you?" I asked the spirit. 'And who the heck is this Kisho!?'

You would not remember me… but your mother…

"What are you talking about?" I asked. Then Tanaka-san looked confused… no, the one that is confused is the spirit… then its face became contorted with anger…

I remember now, I caused that accident. And all of you supposedly died, but I'm wrong…

'What the…'

"What are you talking about?" I hate this… why can't he understand one question without me repeating it???

Oh you don't really remember? Well I guess you're not really that all knowing unlike your twin… it feels great when he got run over by my niece's car…

'I am getting agitated now'

"Well, it is going to be a great pleasure for me to kill you too..."

And I let go of the psychic energy I have been bouncing to and fro with Gene.

The psychic energy speared through Tanaka-san's body and left carrying the evil spirit with it.

Big mistake…cause I'll just have to go to another human vessel. You would now lose track of me!

It laughed and vanished into thin air. The two older men looked at me with both anger and amazement, well maybe on Takigawa-san's part only.

"I told you Noll that you can't use that much psychic energy." Lin scolded the teenager.

"I got help so I'm going to be alright" I answered.

"You better be…" he murmured while trying to arrange the partly demolished furniture…

"Are we going to meet here, Noll?" Takigawa-san asked me as he went to carry an unconscious Tanaka-san.

"For now, this will be confidential… just between the four of us…" I said.

Good thing he didn't ask anymore.

"What are we going to tell Madoka?" Lin asked as he began picking up the forks and knives.

"The entire incident including the spirit calling me Kisho…" I answered as I began picking up the other utensils.

It barely took us ten whole minutes to set the living room nice and cozy again. By that time, Madoka rang my doorbell.

After that, the interrogation begun…
