Chapter Twelve

Case One – Evil Spirit's All Over

Part Six

Harry, Shibuya-san, and John all crowded around Mai to see what she was pointing at. Shibuya-san was the first to comment, "It's one of the classrooms on the second floor," dismissing it, as there were a number of chairs dotted around the rooms in the second floor classrooms.

"I set the camera in there yesterday with Harry, and I don't remember a chair being in the middle of the room." Mai explained to Shibuya-san, trying to get him to see what was wrong with the picture. She turned to Harry, "Do you remember a chair Harry?" her eyes pleading with him to agree with her.

Harry gave a quick nod of his head as he agreed, "No, there wasn't one there." He then brought his gaze to meet Shibuya-san's as he told him, "If I remember right they were all neatly stacked on the right hand side of the room, out of the way."

Shibuya-san gave Harry and Mai a calculating look before looking to Takigawa-san and John, "Have either of you seen anyone going into that room?"

"No I haven't," Takigawa-san said shaking his head slightly, confidant in his answer.

"Me neither," John agreed.

Shibuya-san twisted back around to the equipment and began fiddling with the dials and knob's on the controlling board. The screen started to rewind, but it went to fast for them to really see anything, but once the chair wasn't in the middle of the room, Shibuya-san stopped it and pressed play, watching intently.

Now even Hara-san, Matsuzaki-san, and Kuroda-san came over and stood behind the other four to watch the screen. Shibuya-san turned up the volume, so that everyone could hear what was going on. Faintly in the background, you could hear the Principal ask Matsuzaki-san out to dinner and her reply, then a few moments later the sound of glass breaking and her shriek of terror.

Right after that, a scraping sound filled the room. Mai gave a gasp beside Harry as the chair slowly came into the view of the camera, its feet dragging along the floor in jolts, causing the noise. After a few minutes it stopped in the middle of the floor, right in front of the camera.

"Was that a ghost?" Mai's voice came out in a shaky whisper, her hand covering her mouth in fear.

Kuroda-san, who Harry hadn't noticed came to stand beside him, said, "It could be a Poltergeist."

Mai lowered her shaking hand from her moth and stuttered out, "Poltergeist?"

Seeing her chance to appear smart and show off to Shibuya-san, Kuroda-san explained, "It's a German word, meaning noisy ghost," pushing her glasses up her nose at the end.

Rolling his eyes a little, Harry twisted his head around to looked at Mai as he added a little more to the girls explanation, "A Poltergeist is a type of ghost who likes to move objects around, which in turn makes a lot of noise, so hence the term 'noisy ghost'."

He heard Kuroda-san give a snort of annoyance and he couldn't help the small smirk that appeared on his face, because he knew he was getting under the annoying girls skin. He had to admit it was a bit petty, but the things that she had been saying about spirits, and trying to gain attention from a certain Ghost Hunter, was so wrong that it annoyed him more than Snape and Malfoy.

"That's right, but I don't think we are dealing with a Poltergeist." Shibuya-san stepped in with a thoughtful look on his face as he studied the other monitors, before he pointed at the Thermal Image hat showed the room as the chair moved onto the screen, "Objects that have been moved by a Poltergeist are warm to the touch, and my thermal camera shows that the chair is not radiating any heat."

It was true; the chair remained the same iced blue colour, with some dark blue here and there, much like the rest of the room, as it moved across the floor, until it came to a stop.

"Maybe not, but going by Tisane's criteria…" John started to say, only to be cut off by Mai.

"Tisane?"

Harry looked down at her, as she stood on his right, and enlightened her, "E. Tisane, he was a French Police Officer, who was the first to classify Poltergeists."

Shibuya-san went on to give more details, when Harry finished talking, "Yes, the list has shaking objects, opening and closing of doors, rapping noises, knocking, and so on. Are you listening Mai?" Shibuya-san asked her giving her a pointed look.

Mai fumed and in an irritated voice replied, "I'm listening, thanks for the concern."

Harry snickered beside Mai, but stopped when she raised a threatening fist his way. Seeing the threat, Harry grimaced and stopped his laughing, Mai went back to listening to Shibuya-san and so did Harry, with a sigh of relief. "There are nine of them in total," Shibuya-san was saying, "and if we apply them to what is happening in this building, we have doors closing objects moving and glass breaking, which makes that three of the nine needed."

"What about the attack on Kuroda-san?" Mai questioned as she looked to Shibuya-san.

It wasn't Shibuya-san that answered her; it was Hara-san, "It was her imagination."

This of course sent Kuroda-san into a rage once again, the anger pouring off her, "Why can't you admit that there is an evil Spirit here?" she shouted at the Medium.

Harry took a step back from the angry girl rubbing his left ear as he did so. It was tingling slightly from having her shout so close to him.

Hara-san shot the poor girl a condescending look, before whirling around and walking calmly towards the door. When she was part way out she stopped and glanced back into the classroom with one hand on the door frame saying in a soft voice, "I will look around once more, but I don't think I will find anything," with that she disappeared out of sight.

Harry was surprised that it was John who spoke up this time, for the Priest had mostly been keeping to himself, unless asked for his opinion. "If we are truly dealing with a spirit and Hara-san can't sense it that would be a shock."

Shibuya-san nodded his head in agreement saying, "I have collected no evidence that there is a spirit here."

"I agree with Shibuya-san and Hara-san on this I don't think there is one either," Harry decided to add in his two cents, scanning everybody to see what they thought.

Mai's thoughts all of a sudden entered Harry's mind, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at them, 'All three of them are sticking up for her? I guess anything for a pretty face.' He thought Mai knew him better than to think he would go for a pretty face. Sometimes he wished he wasn't a partial telepath, for the simple fact he didn't want to hear what his friends truly thought of him, especially when he was worried for them, as he was with Mai.

"You guys are just suckers for a pretty face," Kuroda-san accused all three of them, sending them all glares.

Shock and fear radiated out from Mai, as he was pretty sure she thought she had either spoken her thoughts out loud, or Kuroda-san had read her mind and just voiced it for her, because Mai was too polite and nice to say something that mean aloud.

Harry noticed Shibuya-san's muscles tense and felt his anger at Kuroda-san's remark; it didn't surprise Harry too much when he defended himself, "I know of her profession and talents which are highly regarded as the best in the field. So I am giving her the respect that she deserves."

Harry glanced over to Kuroda-san and said, "She might be pretty to those that are straight, but I'm not. I just know her reputation."

Kuroda-san's eyes went wide as she looked to Harry, not even able to say anything as she registered what Harry was implying. Mai already knew, since he had told her after she had tried to set him up on a date with Keiko. Matsuzaki-san and Takigawa-san looked to him, a little shocked that someone could be so open about themselves.

John stumbled a little at the admission as he asked, "You're gay?"

"Yes, though back in England only my close friends and Remus know. I don't hide it, if anyone asks I'll answer." Harry admitted with a smile. John smiled back to him and nodded.

Shibuya-san rolled his eyes when he noticed their reactions, "Shall we get back to work instead of discussing Harry's sexuality?" he said, he wasn't shocked by the admission, he had been able to see the subtle signs since meeting him.

"If you want me to get back to work, I wish you would show me some respect as well," Matsuzaki-san huffed from her position by the door.

A smirk took over Shibuya-san's face as he turned piercing dark blue eyes on the Miko, "What is it about you that I should hold in high regard?"

Matsuzaki-san became flustered as she said, "What did…"

A loud crack echoed around the room, cutting off whatever she had been able to say. "Creaking noises?" Takigawa-san stated as he glanced at the ceiling.

"Don't ghosts make those sounds?" Mai yelled as the sound began to grow louder, she latched herself onto Harry's left arm, taking some comfort from her friend.

All of a sudden another loud crack was heard, along with a scream of terror from above them. John, who had been watching the monitors, trying to find out where it was coming from, turned to them in a panic and said, "It's Hara-san, she's fallen out of the classroom upstairs."

Everybody rushed out of the room and Harry happened to see Shibuya-san pulling out his cell phone and dialling for an ambulance again, as they all ran outside.

They found Hara-san lying in some bushes on the other side of the building. She had been knocked out from the fall and Matsuzaki-san quickly took over in what Harry could only call a Doctor mode. She told them not to move her until she had examined her and made sure nothing was broken or out of place.

During her examination of the Medium, Hara-san woke up and said her head was hurting her and that he vision was slightly fuzzy. Matsuzaki-san said she was fine to move and surprisingly it was John that picked up the small Medium and moved her to lie on a towel that had been placed on the pavement.

A few minutes after moving her, the ambulance arrived and Shibuya-san took over telling them what had happened, after getting the story from Hara-san. The rest of the team meandered back into the building as they started to load Hara-san into it, but Shibuya-san and Harry stayed at the Medium's request to talk to them alone before she left.

"It was just an accident, I leaned against a wall." She told them in a low voice, "I hold to my belief that there are no Spirits here."

At Shibuya-san and Harry's nods she closed her eyes and the emergency crew took that as their cue to get her into the vehicle. Watching it drive away Shibuya-san turned to the building with a thoughtful look and said, "This is turning out to be an interesting case."

Harry nodded his head in agreement, following his temporary boss back into the building, wondering what is going to happen next.

Thank you for the wonderful reviews, so happy that you are enjoying it so far, still a long way to go to catch up to where we were, but I hope that the rewrite is worth it!
