POV: Taniyama Mai

~ Day 2 ~

*After School*

*Bell Ringing* (Repeatingly)

"Mai-chan!" multiple people calling my name.

I turn my head to the right and saw two people waving at me by the front door of the classroom and I frown in confusion.

"Where's Krista-senpai?" I ask, while grabbing my stuff and walking toward them.

"She couldn't make it because of student council again," Rin said.

"So, I'm taking her place for now," a familiar female voice said, out of nowhere.

I turn to look at the person on my left side and my eyes slowly widen up.

"M-Michiru-chan?! I thought you won't be back until next monday?" I said.

"Well, yeah… But it seems mother didn't book us for a one week stay. Which was kind of sad. *Sad Face* I wanted to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Colosseum, and other places! *Sigh* And also, to eat all sorts of different food in different parts of Italy. I could imagine what it would taste like as well!" Michiru-chan's eyes sparkle brightly and look like she's about to drool.

'Wow…' I thought, as I listen to her.

"Anyway, lets go!" Momo-chan said, not wanting to hear another word out of Michiru-chan's mouth.

All four of us walk through the hallway, laughing and discussing about fun things and where we should go.

"Wanna go and eat some food?" Michiru-chan said.

"Like where exactly?" I said, as we walk through the hallway to the stairs.

"You know that new fast food restaurant opened just a month ago? Lets go there!"

"That sound fine."

The other nod in agreement. As we reach the top of the stairs, we cross path with the principal as he comes up the stairs.

"Good evening, girls. I hope you all be careful walking home today. There's some kind of crime nearby here that I heard. I don't want you girls getting involve in it now, okay?" he said, smiling at us all and turn toward me, "Mai-kun, may I talk to you alone?"

I look at the girls and they just rise their shoulders with a uncertain face.

"S-Sure…" I smile.

"Oh, splendid!" he said to me, "Sorry, girls. Mai-kun won't be joining your plans for this evening," he apologize to my friends.

"Oh, it's okay!" all three of my friends said, at the same time, "Maybe next time then! Bye, Mai-chan~!" they wave their hands at me and walk downstair.

"I apologize for taking you away from your friends, Mai-kun," the principal said.

"Oh no! It's okay! What can I do for you, principal?" I ask.

The principal look at his watch and back to me.

"I was hoping if you could do me a favor..." he said, as he lead me to walk with him downstairs and to his office. "I want you deliver this files to Shibuya-san. And to that addition-" the principal said, as we finally reach his office.

He step inside his office and seconds later, he come out with four other people behind him.

"To that addition, I want you to escort this four people to where the old school building is," he hand me the files he want me to deliver. "Thank you, Mai-kun! I would originally would do it myself, but I have so much to do. And the stuffs- they seem to not like him that well, so I couldn't ask them either! I wonder why? Alway thank you, Mai-kun!" he said and disappear inside his office.

'Okay...' I thought, staring at the principal's office's door.

"Jou-chan?" one of them call out to me.

I turned around, "Huh?"

POV: Shibuya Kazuya

*Near the old school building - On the back of the van*

For the past few hours, I stare at the laptop's screen, repeatedly watching last night's video and listening to the audio.

~ 15 minutes later after the school bell ring ~

'The audio capture something really interesting,' I thought, as I look at the laptop's screen and the files of papers on my hand.

*Stomp* (Multiple different steps coming toward the van)

"Ho, ho, ho! Look at this stuff! Isn't it neat? For a kid to have so much fancy equipments?" a male voices said, behind me.

I took off my headphone and put it down. As I turn around, a tall man stand before me with light brown hair and brown eyes.

"A child like you should go back to school and let adults like me handle this ghosts rumors," he said, sounding confident of his abilities.

"Hmph, you handle the ghosts? Don't kid yourself really," a female voice said, as she walk toward him and sight.

She had brown hair and red eyes.

"Oh? So, you think you can do better than me, Baba-san?" he said.

"B-Baba?! I dare you to call me that again! And I don't think I can do better than you! I know I can do better than you!" her face darken in rage.

"Now, now! Can't we just get along?" Said, a young blonde hair boy with blue eye.

'How annoying!' My head ache in pain, as all three of them start to make a huge commotion.

I left the van and head to the old school building. At the entrance of the building, a girl with a colorful fabric with patterns of flowers all over it, was looking inside the building. The girl had black hair and light grey eyes. She turn toward me and her eyes widened up and came toward me.

"Excuse me, but have we meet before?" she ask, covering her mouth with her fabric.

"No, I don't believe so," I said, walking past her.

"My name is Hara Masako, by the way!"

'That principal… He must really want to demolish this school building so badly to actually hire her, too," I thought, as I went inside one of the classroom, which I call my base.

POV: Taniyama Mai

I lead all four of the people to the old school building.

"This is the old school building, right?" a girl with a beautiful kimono ask.

"Yes," I answer.

"Then," she slowly walk toward the old school building, "I'll take my leave and take a look at the old school building first… I sense a very strange presence," she said, and left the group.

"It's a bit too early… So, I'll look at the old school building later on," said, the man with a ponytail, "Oh? And look here? Who's one is that?" as he saw the van near the old school building.

He walk toward the van and a lady with long brown hair follow after him.

"He must be the kid that the principal was talking about it seems," the lady said.

As for the foreigner boy with blonde hair, he went to the old school building, looking at the building from the outside.

'Who are they? Why would those people have so much interest in this old school building? And Why would the principal hire so many people?' I stare at the old school building and frown.

On the distance I heard two people's voice bickering at each other.

"Now, now! Can't we just get along?" As the man with blonde hair, run toward them to stop them from fighting.

I giggle silently as the two people yell at the man with blonde hair and went back to bickering at each other,'Those two are like old couples.'

Then, a man in black clothing, which was that guy with the narcissist personality. He left the group without being notice. As he walk toward the entrance of the building, I slowly sink deep inside my mind.

'Surely, I won't find anything by just standing around here. If only I could somehow hang around with those people… Long enough to dis- *Short Pause* W-What am I thinking?' I shake my head and sigh. 'But really, why would I do that? Those people are so strange. Especially, that guy with the worst personality! Even though we don't know each other that well, he has a unbelievable self-centered personality!' I stare at him as he finally disappear inside the building.

I look at my hands and notice the files.

"T-thats right!" I panicky remember about the files.

I run to the door of the old school building and heard a familiar female voice.

"My name is Hara Masako, by the way," she said.

I peek through the door and saw him, walking past the girl with kimono and went through the hallway of the building. The girl with kimono sigh and turn around and walk toward the door where I was. I panic a little when she saw me standing by the door.

"You should leave this place. There are things in here a originally person won't understand and see …." she said with an annoy face.

"Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about. But..." I said, as I stare at the hallway.

She stare at the files on my hands and sigh, "I see... Do as you wish, but leave as soon as you're done with your business here.. If you value your life."

She walk past me, as the others enter the building.

"Where are you going?" the ponytail man ask.

"I need a minute to be alone…" she said, walking out the door.

"Anyway, I'm going to do what I do best!" the man with the ponytail said, "We should do a properly greeting later on!" he left the group.

"I guess, I'll assist him for now," the blonde man said.

"Hmph, guess you should. I bet he's weak anyway," the lady said.

As the others went their own ways and start whatever they are hire by the principal to do. I went and resume to my quest to find that self-centered guy.

~Hallway~

*Cracking* (Repeatedly and getting louder each time)

Then, it stopped as I hear a faint sight behind me and I hold my breath, slowly turning around.

'W-Why does this always happen? There's no one there every time! Am I going insane?' I thought, exhaling.

"Onee-chan? What're you doing here?" a child voice said.

I look down, as a little boy pull my skirt.

'H-He's so cute!' I thought, wanting to hug him tightly.

"Onee-chan? What're you doing here?" he ask again.

"I'm actually looking for someone," I smile, not noticing something wasn't right.

"Is he the Oniichan that been here since yesterday?" he smile back.

"Yes… But how did you-"

"Mai?" A familiar male voice called from behind.

I turn around and saw the self-centered guy, standing with a surprise look on his face.

"Not only that you're dumb but, also delusional," he said, sighting.

"D-Delusional? What are you talking about? I was just-" I slowly turn around looking for the little boy I was talking to, "talking to this boy?"

"What boy?"

'I-I swear... he was here a second ago...' I thought.

"Mai."

"N-Nevermind!" I said, handing him the files.

"What's this?"

"I don't know, the principal told me to hand it to you."

He sigh dramatically.

'W-What's with that over dramatic sight again?' I frowned.

He took the files and start to read it silently. As I look around the building, I realize that I was alone with him. And once I notice that, I start to feel this weird feeling inside me building up, like my heart was being crash, forcing me to breath harder. I was clueless to why I did it, but I end up watching his dark grey eyes scamming the files, his lips, body, and everything about him... His atmosphere was so neutral and peaceful, it was like listening to those relaxing classical music. *Blush*

'What the heck am I doing? A-And why does my face feels so hot? *Pause* It can't be! *Face more red* Come on, Mai! Pull yourself together!' I slap my face, "Ouch!"

"If you're going to stay here then be quiet," he look up at me.

I mumble to myself, feeling a bit embarrassed and mad. He went back looking at the files again. Time pass by and finally he closed the files and look at me in the eyes. *Heart Beat* Our eyes meet, but I quickly turn away from his gaze.

'W-What is going on?!' I felt my face turning red again and my heart pounding loud.

He then went inside one of the classroom and came back out.

"Here," he hand me, what it looks-like a giant microphone and a television camera.

"What am I suppose to do with this?" I ask cluelessly.

"Set all those up."

"What?"

"I want you to place those equipments around the classrooms in the second floor."

"Why should I do that?"

"Why shouldn't you do it?"

"Well… I-It's not my job!"

"If that the case, go away. If you don't want to be useful."

My face turn red in anger.

"Fine! I'll do it!" I said, finally, "So? What exactly am I suppose to do again? How am I-"

"For your sake... I'll explain, how to use those items. I don't want your stupidness to damage any of my equipment," he sight, as if he could predict something like that will happen.

~ A few minutes later… ~

"I hope your brain isn't that small to not remember such an easy task, won't it?" He said.

"I can remember things just fine, thank you very much," I argue back.

"Then, get on to it and set all those things up."

"Yeah, yeah… But why didn't you set it up all yesterday? Since you were here."

He ignore me.

"Don't ignore me!" I said, annoyed.

"*Sigh* Is it really your business to know everything of someone else business?"

"Well, yes," I smile brightly.

"Hmph. Typical of a stupid person's curiosity. Well, fine, if it would shut your mouth. *Pause* I needed a servant to do my biting, but since my latest servant didn't lasted an hour without going insane. He quit last night. Will you last more than an hour with me?"

'What the heck! What is wrong with this guy?' I look away from him and blow up my cheek, like a bubble fish. 'I can't believe this! His mocking me!' I thought angrily. 'He should be named, 'Narcissist Naru-chan' Why didn't I thought of that earlier? Yep, from now on he is Naru-chan!'

Suddenly, I felt him staring at me, giving me the chills. So, I decide to get out of the room and start to set the equipment upstairs.

~Second Floor- Class A~

'Over here should be fine!' I thought, finally placing the last giant-microphone in the room.

I look around the room and nod, 'Yep, I should return.'

On the way down the stair, I bump into the others, who was going the same way, going to see Naru.

POV: Shibuya Kazuya (Noll / Naru)

~ Base ~

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

I heard multiple footsteps entering the room.

"Hey, Noll! I've finish setting everything up. Is there anything else?" Mai said.

I turned around and stare at her surprise, 'Did she called me, Noll?'

"W-What did you just call me?" I manage to keep my usual cold tone, "And where did you hear it from?"

"Huh? Does that mean other people also call you, Noll? As in Naru-cissist Naru-chan?" she said, surprise.

"Naru-cissist Naru-chan? Why would you call him that?" the man with blonde hair ask.

"Well, you see. It's because-…"

'How careless of me… She meant Naru, not Noll…' I sigh.

I watch as she openly tell everyone how annoying my personality was and that was why she nickname me, Naru.

'What a stupid girl..' I thought, as the others laugh.

"So, who are you people?" I ask them.

"Well, since you ask so nicely. I'm a monk of the Koyasan sect, and my name is Takigawa Hosho," said the man with ponytail.

"I am Matsusaki Ayako, the shrine maiden," said the lady with long brown hair.

"I'm Hara Masako, a spirit medium," said the girl with the kimono.

"Uh… I'm John Brown, a Catholic priest. I exorcist evil spirit," said the boy with blonde hair.

"Jou-chan?" Takigawa-san, looking at Mai.

"Huh? Me? Oh, I'm Taniyama Mai, a regular high school student," she said, "And… He's Shibuya Kazuya. What he does is- Uh, Naru? What exactly do you do?" Mai ask me stupidly.

She came close to me with the curious face. I did a quick smile at Mai, because of her lack of observation and her stupid face turn bright red. She back away from me and wandered off somewhere behind everyone. She then laying against the door, looking outside.

"I'm a ghost hunter," I sigh.

The room stayed silence for a moment.

"That wasn't a bad introduction! Let's get along now, okay?" Takigawa-san said.

Mai and the others gather together and start to talk to each other. Until, I broke their conversation.

"Hara-san, if you don't mind. What do you think of this building?" I ask.

She stayed silent for a well and cover her mouth with her fabric.

"Currently, I can only sense three spirits inside the building. *Pause* A teenage girl, a little boy, and a man… The two children seems to be very protective with each other. Maybe they're brother and sister? The other spirit, the man… He is a bit different from the other two. He is more violent and-" Hara-san suddenly, faint.

"H-Hey! Are you okay?" Takigawa catch her.

"S-Sorry… I think I should go outside," she said, looking a bit sick.

She straightening herself up and walk out the door and stop.

"He's the real danger. Please be aware of him. Even though, he hasn't notice us yet. The other two spirit and the other childrens has," She said.

"Other childrens? Wait, I thought you said, you can only sense "three spirits." They are more?" Matsusaki ask.

Hara-san lookup the ceiling and sight.

"Yes, they are outside the old school building… Wandering around," she said, and disappear to the darkness.

"Uh- Wait! I'll company you!" Mai said, and went running out the door.

"A girl, a little boy, and a man…" I thought, "Sigh, I think that is enough for today."

"Oh? Done for the day? But what are you gonna do about the ghosts outside?" Matsusaki-san ask.

I gather the files and start to walk out the door.

"I'll keep my comment to myself for now and whatever you do... Don't touch those spirit outside," I left the room.

*SCREAMS*

"H-Hey! Isn't that Hara-san and Mai-chan's voice?" Takigawa said, running outside the room.

*Loud Crashing Sound*

Takigawa-san and the others went running past me, toward the scream. I follow after them to the staircase where we found Hara-san on the ground, shaking in fear.

"Masako?! Are okay? Hey!" Takigawa-san said, shaking Hara-san.

"My face… It's gone!" Hara-san scream.
