Case File One - Evil Spirit's All Over

Part One

Harry and Mai walked up to the back of the van that was parked in the driveway of the old school building. Shibuya-san was unloading many different types of equipment, which they assumed he would be using during the investigation. They didn't move to take any of the stuff he was putting on the ground, for fear of grabbing it the wrong way and breaking it, so they waited for instructions.

Shibuya-san must have sensed they were there for he began to explain a little of the buildings' history as he unpacked, "A week ago your principle contacted me and asked that I come out and have a look of that old school house. I looked through the records and verified that up until eighteen years ago, while the school house was still being used, there would be one or two deaths per year. It is also true that when they were demolishing the place that there was an accident where the roof collapsed. No one died, but some were injured. In the end the incident was blamed on human error. Construction ended after that, with only a third of the demolition done." He stopped for a few minutes and handed Harry a couple of metal trays and bars. He then turned to Mai and gave her three big microphones, before turning back to the van and grabbing what looked like a TV monitor. Shibuya-san motioned for them to follow him as he moved away from the van and towards the entrance. As they walked he began to talk again, "A teacher did in fact commit suicide within the building, but it was all explained within a suicide note. As for the incident with the truck last year," Shibuya-san paused as he glanced into one of the classroom and then carried on walking towards the stairs and carried on, "it was said the driver of the truck was intoxicated. I have no doubt that the rumors of the building being haunted helped in making that decision. Based on my own research, the existence of any paranormal activity here is nothing more than fiction. That is because everything that has happened here has a reasonable explanation." Shibuya-san finished as he chose a classroom next to the stairs and set the heavy monitor down.

Turning to face Harry and Mai he said, "We'll set up base here, and will be conducting all out observations from this room," he glanced over to Harry as he pointed to a desk and said, "Set that stuff over there and then come with me to bring the rest of the equipment inside," Harry nodded as Shibuya-san turned to Mai, "Put your stuff next to this monitor and then I want you to go over to the shelving that Harry brought in and start building them up," he finished with his instructions and walked past them both and out of the room.

Mai went still as Harry turned to her, "Harry?"

Harry could feel how scarred Mai was and he chalked it up to being left alone in a supposedly haunted building. Wanting to try and calm her down, he reassured her, "Mai, this place is not haunted. There is nothing to be scared of."

Mai put her stuff down and walked over to where Harry was standing, then murmured, "He is so stuck up."

A smiled took over Harry's face as he replied, "He might had a good reason to be. You know Mai, you did cause some damage."

Mai gave Harry a glare and he smiled at her, "I better get going. See you in a bit," he said as he walked out of the room and back to the van, leaving Mai alone.

It didn't take long for Harry to get back to Shibuya-san, who was busy grabbing more equipment from inside the van. When he spotted Harry he handed him a large rectangular box that had many knobs and buttons on it saying, "Harry, take this."

"Okay," Harry nodded as he wrapped his arms around it.

Out of the corner of his eye Harry noticed Shibuya-san watching him with curiosity and wasn't shocked when he finally spoke, "You don't seem to be protesting working for me like I thought you would."

Harry returned the other teen's apprising gaze and replied, "It fills the time, and I'm getting a little bored with just school and homework."

Harry didn't know what else he could say. He was bored, while at Hogwarts he had done a lot more, things were exciting, Quidditch, and lessons were exciting for him. Since going to regular school there was less exciting things to do, and so he ended up with a lot more time on his hands.

Shibuya-san took his answer with a small shrug, then grabbed some equipment and walked back to the building and Harry followed wondering what state Mai was in. he didn't have long to ponder as they walked towards the classroom. Harry could fell Mai freaking out from being in a presumed haunted place all by her-self, totally ignoring what he had told her before leaving. Granted Harry didn't tell her about his abilities, but he wanted to keep them to himself. In fact if he ever had to tell someone the first one would be Dumbledore, for those born with his abilities, he had seen, heard, and read them being left alone, no hugs, no casual touches from friends. All of them too scared to do such a thing and to Harry that would hurt more than angry or painful touch could.

Shibuya-san flipped the light switch as he entered the room, Mai almost screamed in terror when the two of them walked in. Shibuya-san sent her a chilling glare and started, "Stop goofing around and get the shelves up."

Harry just snickered and found the nearest empty table to set the box down, before heading out and grabbing another load from the van.

It took them another hour to have everything set up the way Shibuya-san wanted; he had taken to ordering them around as they worked. It had taken Harry a few moments to remember everything he could about electronics, for he hadn't been around electronics for a long time, since Hogwarts didn't support them.

After everything was set up and ready to go, Shibuya-san grabbed two cameras and placed them down in front of the monitors. Mai was curious and went over to them, examining them closely. These two cameras where completely different from the ones she had noticed sitting in a row against the wall.

"What are these for?" She asked her temporary boss as she looked over to him.

"One is a thermal imaging camera, and the other one is an inferred camera," Shibuya-san explained.

Harry felt the annoyance coming off him like sickly waves, and he was sure it had to do with all the explaining he had to do in the last hour. Harry smiled as Shibuya-san went on after Mai's look of confusion, "They are used to shot in total darkness. This one," he pointed to the one with a large lens on it, "uses thermograph to record temperatures. When a spirit appears the temperature will drop and will show up on the camera."

"Wow, it's so amazing that you know how to use all this stuff," Mai said with a smile as she looked at her boss.

"No it isn't, my brain just works differently." Shibuya-san said with confidence oozing out of his voce.

Harry couldn't help but give a small chuckle at the statement. Mai may not have caught it, but he did and was amused that Shibuya-san had his own way of calling Mai stupid, without telling her straight out. He was lucky; he had no doubt that after a while she would hit him for it. Mai shot her friend a dirty look and raised her fist towards him in warning. Harry held up his hands in surrender and innocent smile on his face, and she nodded claiming victory, obviously she had caught the barb.

Harry watched in silent amusement as Mai turned back to Shibuya-san with murder in her eyes, "Obviously, after all you are Mr. Hot Shot Boss. You may as well do everything," sarcasm dripping from her voice like venom. Abruptly her voice changed to curiosity as she asked, "Why did you decide to go into the ghost hunting business?"

Shibuya-san's answer was quick and to the point, "Because someone has to do it."

Harry wasn't fooled by the simple answer. There was a lot more to it than just that, he could tell. Shibuya's emotions were all over the place with that question, and still were. Harry could feel the fear and the sadness the other teen felt, and wondered what it was that could be causing it.

Harry was watching Shibuya-san so closely he was startled from his thoughts when Mai moved a little closer to Shibuya-san and asked with enthusiasm coating her voice, "Have there been any cases that you haven't been able to explain?"

Shibuya-san gave her a sharp look, which made her back up to her previous spot, before he turned back to what he was doing and said, "No, I'm very good at my job."

"Amazing, he is as smart as he is handsome," she said, before covering her mouth with horror written all across her face.

Harry tried to stifle his laughter for he knew she didn't mean to say that out loud and from the way her cheeks were turning red he could tell not just from her emotions that she was embarrassed.

Shibuya-san turned to her with a straight face, "So, you think I am handsome huh."

That statement did it for Harry and he didn't try to cover up his quiet chuckles. In between his laughter he managed to get out, "Oh Mai, you are priceless at times."

"Huh, what…I mean…" Mai stammered as she tried to think of something to cover up what she had said, "It's what the girls at school are saying. Harry you heard them," she pleaded giving him her best puppy dog eyes she could possibly give.

Harry just rolled his eyes saying, "Yes they did," but it was a partial lie since a lot of them also said Shibuya-san was smart. Harry also didn't say that the girls at school thought he was handsome for this wasn't about him, but Shibuya-san.

Shibuya-san glanced between the two of them, turned back to the machines, and said, "Well, they have very good taste then."

Harry didn't have to see Mai's face to know she was annoyed beyond all reason. He wanted his telepathy to work so much, or for Mai to project her thoughts at that moment in time, since he had no doubt they would be amusing. Mai fumed beside him, so he took the safer route and moved his eyes to look out the window.

He noticed the sky was starting to darken and wanting to know if they would be heading home walked over to Shibuya-san and asked, "So what do you want us to do next boss?"

"For now we just sit and wait while watching the monitors. We also do some investigating on anything we might have missed on the building or surrounding area." Shibuya-san answered as he looked down at Harry, for he was a good six inches taller than him.

Harry grabbed a chair and sat down in front of the monitors with a sigh for he knew it was going to be a couple more hours before they could leave. He heard Mai also pull out a chair and sit behind him somewhere before he went back to scanning the screens before him.

Like he had predicted it was a couple of hours later, after darkness had blanketed the whole sky, that Shibuya-san finally let them go. The two of them grabbed their things as Shibuya-san went around the room checking on all the equipment. Soon they were walking out of the building, only to have two pairs of flashlights directed at the two of them.

"What are you two still doing here?" Keiko's soft voice came from the darkness behind the flashlights.

"Have you both been with Shibuya-san all night?" Michiru asked lowering her light so Harry and Mai could see them.

"It's a long story," Mai said in irritation.

Harry didn't want to go home just yet so he turned to Mai and said, "Mai, why don't you go with them, they'll make sure you get home all right."

Mai gave him a confused look, but answered him, "Sure, Michiru, Keiko, come on. Let's go." She then turned and left with them as the other two said bye over their shoulders.

Harry watched the three of them walk away, before he started back to the old school house. He wanted to make sure Shibuya-san made it home okay. He knew the other teen was older than him and could probably take care of him-self, but Harry just wanted to make sure everyone was safe. He chuckled to himself, maybe Hermione was right that he had a saving people complex, he would have to tell her one of these days.

He passed one of the cameras they had set up in the entry way and knew Shibuya-san had seen him coming, so when he made it to the base and saw Shibuya-san sitting with his gaze locked on the monitors he wasn't at all surprised by the question, "Why are you still here, I told you to go home." Shibuya-san didn't look away from the screens the whole time he addressed Harry.

"I don't like leaving people alone or behind in any way." Harry told him as he went over to the desk and glanced at the screens himself.

"And why would that be?" Shibuya-san asked while looking out the corner of his eye.

Harry turned his emerald gaze on Shibuya-san full force as he answered, "If I leave anyone behind they could get hurt and there would be on one around to help." He paused a moment, "Normally you would be working with someone until it was quitting time, yes?"

"So…" Shibuya-san said in a voice gone low with suspicion.

"Simple, I'll go home, get changed, and be back here within about half an hour to sit with you till the job is done. I really don't mind. I'll even bring some food, it will be vegetarian though, I have no doubt you're hungry just like I am." He told him with a smile on his face.

"Why would you want to do that, your work is done?" Shibuya-san was now staring at Harry like he was something new to be discovered.

"I'm bored, and it's better than going home and just doing homework." Being bored seemed to be the new excuse for him.

"Fine, but if you don't leave anyone alone, then shouldn't Mai still be with you?" Shibuya-san questioned.

Harry smiled and said, "That's simple. She went off with a few friends." Shibuya-san gave a sigh and then waved him off.

Harry left for home and once there quickly changed and made them both something to eat. He then made sure Hedwig had enough food and water, for when she came home in the morning and headed back to the old school house. It didn't bother him to stay away; it wasn't like there was anyone at home to care about where he was or what he was doing. Besides, anybody that did were all back in England and they couldn't tell him off at this exact moment. The only thing that bugged him was when he would be getting any sleep. He shrugged it off and decided he would cross the bridge when he got to it.

Thank you for all the reviews, please review and tell me what you all think so far, I would love to know what you think of the rewrite!
