Trouble

Chapter 6

Yasu and I did find Kazuo-san in his office. He was just finishing up this morning's announcements. "What can I do for you two?" He asked once he was finished.

"We wanted to know why you waited until now to report the poltergeist activity." Yasu said as he and I took a seat in front of Kazuo-san's desk.

"W-What are you talking about?" Kazuo-san asked nervously.

"We know about the student who jumped out of the window in classroom 3-A. Now, usually people who kill themselves will become restless spirits and we think that student is the cause of the broken window." I told him frowning. "I just don't see why you didn't tell us this, unless you're hiding something from us." Kazuo-san sighed.

"You're right. I am hiding something." Surprise, surprise.... I was right! Love that sarcasm! "After that student committed suicide, their parents got really upset with the school and made a big fuss with the media before they moved away. I've been trying so hard these last few years to keep the media from hounding my students. I've gone around and asked the students what that student's purpose for doing such a thing and not one of them could tell me. I got angry with them, because I knew they were hiding something. I finally found out that the boys' basketball team was somehow involved with the death and after questioning them one by one for a whole month, they finally talked. They had said they didn't mean for that student to fall out of the window. I was so shocked. I mean, what are you supposed to say to a group of students who pushed another student out the window?" Kazuo-san was in tears. "I didn't want to report them to the authorities, it was an accident after all." Whoa, I was not expecting that. "Y-You're not going to go to the authorities are you?"

"No, and I'm sure our boss will agree. What happens in this school regarding to normal stuff is not our business. It does help us with cases though, so if you ever have problems again, remember to not leave out any details." I said as Yasu and I stood up. Kazuo-san stood up as well and bowed to us.

"Thank you so much! You have no idea how much joy it brings me to hear you say that! Don't worry, if problems occur again in the future, I won't forget to share all of the details. Thank you."

"Oh and Kazuo-san, do you happen to know if Naoki-kun showed up for school today?"

"Let me see," Kazuo-san said as he went through some papers. Really? They don't store that stuff on a computer? What century does this school live in anyways? "No, it seems he hasn't showed up today." I nodded.

"Thank you for your help, Kazuo-san." Yasu and I bowed before leaving. Well, that didn't go quite like I expected it to. I thought frowning.

"Well, that was different, wasn't it?" Yasu said smiling as we passed classroom 3-A.

"Yeah, I wasn't expecting that at all. I wonder what Naru is going to think of this all."

"He probably won't say anything at all or he might just say good job and give us our next assignment." I grinned, laughing a little.

"Yep, it definitely sounds like Naru." Yasu chuckled just as we entered the base. I was shocked to see Monk and Mai bent over, trying to catch up their breathing.

"What happened?" I asked worriedly.

"We were just in classroom 3-A checking the temperature and then suddenly I heard whispering by the blackboard." Mai said shuddering.

"It quickly escalated from there." Monk said shaking his head. "The room started shaking, there were loud banging noises, another window broke, and a desk got thrown at us! And none of my mantras worked on it."
