Yume no Naka ni Seishin

Chapter Twenty

Interlude One

Searching

Harry and Mai were walking down a street in Shibuya, heading to work. This was the beginning of their second week working in the Shibuya Psychic Research office.

The two had been a little nervous at first, especially since they didn't really know Kazuya and Lin. Walking up the stairs to the second floor office first, with Mai reluctantly following behind him slowly. He could feel her apprehensiveness about coming to work and he couldn't blame her. It seemed like every time she bumped into Lin he would shoot her a dark look that seemed to promise pain if she didn't leave his presence immediately. She also remembered how he acted so cold to her when he came back to work with crutches after the first case was over and she wanted to help pack up. Ever since then it hadn't gotten any better for the poor girl. Harry seemed to be an exception as he at least got a nod of the head or a thank you when bring tea, but he could still feel the man only slightly tolerated him and if he was lucky he could feel something along the lines of irritation with both of them as if they were postponing or threatening something.

Harry reached the office door first and opened it enough to peek his head around and see if the tall dark mysterious man, known as Lin, was in the entrance area. Not seeing him, Harry walked in and held the door for Mai as she came through right behind him. Closing the door, once she was in, they both took off their spring jackets and hung them up on the coat tree by the door, with Mai also hanging her purse on top of her coat. Harry was glad it was getting warmer outside, as it showed summer was just around the corner.

Having done that both Harry and Mai continued past the small reception area and into the more open conference area, where their desk where located off to the opposite side of the office spaces of Lin and Kazuya. Their they found Kazuya sitting on the couch, a cup of tea in hand and in front of him, taking up almost the whole coffee table, a map. The two watched in curiosity for a few minutes as Kazuya placed a finger on it and slowly went over it as though he was searching for something.

"Erm, Naru?" Mai asked, letting her curiosity get the better of her, walking a little closer to the table and map.

Kazuya's head snapped up so fast Harry wondered if he got whiplash, as he pinned both of them with an irritated gaze, "Yes?" his voice impatient and a little annoyed.

"What are you doing?" she asked him as Harry followed her a little more into the room.

Harry was also curious and so let his eyes fall to the map before them. As he began to scan over it he could make out the more rural areas in Japan. This made him even more curious as why would Kazuya have a map of rural Japan, unless they had a case out in this part and Kazuya didn't want to get lost, but that didn't seem right, so with a little of his Gryffindor courage egging him on he asked, "Something you need help with?"

"You don't need to know anything of what I am doing, as it is none of your business." Kazuya bit out with his empty hand slamming forcefully onto the map with a loud smack. "As for any help, I don't think you could, so please carry on with your work," he frostily finished, now turning his glare onto Mai who seemed to shrink somewhat. Seeming satisfied with her reaction he quickly gulped down the rest of his tea and forcefully placed the now empty cup down onto the coffee table, "I shall be in my office if I am needed, other than that, do not disturb me." He snapped as he stood up, rolling up the map and all but storming into his office.

"I wonder what that was all about?" Mai asked as she looked to Harry, wondering what her friend thought about it all.

"I don't know," Harry said as he looked to Kazuya's door, "I'm going to make some tea, I'll see if Kazuya would like some...and Lin," he added as an afterthought, as he looked to Mai, "I think you should be able to put those files away," he told her as he glanced over at her desk and the small pile of files sitting on it.

Mai nodded her head and walked towards it saying, "Make sure to make me a drink, I could do with one after that temper tantrum."

Harry chuckled a little as he went over to Lin's office first and knocked on the door. He waited a few moments before a brief 'come in' sounded through it. He opened the door and walked in, "Hello Lin-san, I was wondering if you would like some Tea?" he asked politely, feeling that the other didn't want him in the room.

"Yes, please," Lin quickly replied and then went back to typing on his computer.

Harry briefly wondered what the other was typing , but decided he wanted to live, so walked out with a brief, "Okay Lin-san."

Going over to Kazuya's door, he knocked on it and waited for a moment. The door opened and Harry could feel annoyance and some anger coming from the other teen at being disturbed, "What?" he asked coldly.

"I just wanted to know if you would like some tea," Harry asked calmly.

Kazuya sighed a little and nodded his head, "Come in when it is done, I am trying to concentrate on something." He bit out as he walked back into his office, forcefully closing the door behind him.

Harry frowned a little, he could feel sadness, hope, along with an urgency coming from Kazuya and couldn't help but wonder if it was about his brother, Gene, who he had met in the astral plane when Mai and him were unconscious. Harry shrugged his shoulders and walked away. If Kazuya wanted him to know he would tell him. Going to the small kitchenette that was off the side of the main office, he quickly went about making some tea for the four of them.

A few minutes later he was pouring the water and finishing up the tea. He placed them all on the tray and took them out. His first stop was Mai's desk and seeing she was still in the filling room he called out, "Mai, tea on your desk."

"Okay, thanks Harry," came Mai's reply as she stuck her head out of the room, giving him a smile.

Harry smiled back and went over to Lin's office door and knocked on it, waiting for the gruff 'come in'. He opened the door carefully with the tray still in hand and walked over to Lin's desk and placed the cup down beside him. "Here you go Lin-san," he smiled as he began to walk out of the door.

"Thank you," Lin's voice drifted to him as Harry nodded his head and closed the door behind him, letting the older male carry on with whatever he was working on.

Harry then walked over to Kazuya's door, remembering what the other teen said, he opened the door and walked in. Kazuya was standing over the map that had been laying on the coffee table, but was now spread over his desk. Harry could make out the slightly confused look on the others face, wondering what had brought it about.

"Here you go Kazuya-san," he said softly as he took the cup and placed it on one of the few free areas on the desk.

Kazuya looked up for a moment, giving a quick , "thank you," and then immediately going back to studying the map.

Harry waited for a moment, watching as the older teen stressed over something before interrupting the silence that had fallen, "Are you sure I can't do anything to help?" wondering if there was anything he could do with his magic while Kazuya wasn't looking.

Kazuya shook his head, "No, there isn't," he answered softly, sadness evident in his voice.

"You sound sad," Harry whispered to himself.

Kazuya must have heard him for his head shot up and he gave Harry an ice cold glare, "It's not any of your business."

Shocked Harry backed up a small step, shaking his head, "I know that, but you are a friend and if you are doing something that makes you sad, of course I want to help, as does Mai. I know you would rather that we keep our noses out of it, but if there is anything you can think of that the two of us will be able to help with, make sure to say something," meeting Kazuya's cold indigo eyes with his own emerald green, and trying to convey his feelings on this matter.

"I doubt there will be," Kazuya said as he went back to looking at the map before him.

Harry, seeing he wouldn't get any further with the teen, shook his head in a defeated manner, and started to leave the room, but at the door stopped for a second and left a parting message for Kazuya to think over, "You're sad because you lost someone, I have been their before and can tell you it is better to have somebody to help, than keeping it bottled up," with that he walked out of the room and softly shut the door behind him.

He did feel some guilt over not telling the other teen about the dream and the fact that he had met Gene, but at the same time he didn't want to reveal his powers or magic, until Kazuya shared something personal with him. With a sigh and clearing his mind of depressing thoughts, Harry went over to his desk and placed the last cup of tea down and took the tray back to the kitchenette. Coming back, he sat down at his desk and wonder what he should be doing, since it seemed nobody had left him any instructions on what they wanted him to do.

Right at that moment Mai walked back into the main part of the office and declared, "I am done with that job, thankfully they all belonged in the same cabinet,"

"Good thing for you then," Harry sarcastically replied with a smirk on his lips, before taking a sip of his tea.

Harry almost choked on it, trying not to laugh at Mai, when she gave him a glare for his smartass comment, which melted into a frown as she asked "Well, were you able to find out anything from Naru?" picking up her tea.

"No I didn't," he replied, his sour mood showing about the whole conversation.

"Okay, we'll have to bug him about it another time," Mai said, trying to cheer him up, as she sat down, looking at the appointment book to see if anyone was going to be coming to the office.

Harry gave a frustrated sigh as he glanced over at Kazuya's door, "No, don't do that Mai," he muttered setting down his tea cup and giving Mai his full attention, "I am sure that whatever it is he will tell us in his own time and us badgering him about it will only make him more closed off."

"I guess you are right Harry. It just makes me sad to see him like that," Mai said as she ducked her head to scan the appointment book one more time to see if she had missed anything.

Harry didn't know how to respond to that as he felt the same and so a thoughtful silence descended onto office. Harry was trying to come up with ways in which to get Kazuya to open up to him, so he could see if it really was Gene that was bugging him and if their was anyway that he could help. Also by what he was feeling from Mai she was thinking along the same lines.

Thank you all for the wonderful reviews, and I am glad that you are all still reading this after so long. And once again I apologise for taking so long too. Hope you have enjoyed this chapter, as it is a new one.
