Gene's Story
Chapter 1
Written By: Rasei
Pairings for this arc: NaruxMai but it is not the point of this story
A/N: This is a Ghost Hunt story that will take place in arcs like a few of the other stories out there. It's AU from volume 11 on. I haven't read 12 yet but I know the gist of it. It this arc, Mai has a dream of Gene's death and realizes her dream Naru isn't the real Naru. The arc will have two chapters. After each arc, I will take a break after each case. That time is be used to write the next arc fully. I will update every week for the arc. It's more of the prologue arc then the first real one. There are spoilers if you haven't read the manga. This also changes around Gene's death a bit.
The car stopped in from the cabin that Misako, Ayako, and I have been sharing. My name is Mia and I am almost 17 years old. I have reddish hair and brown eyes. For the last year and half, I have been working for Shibuya Psychic Research, a ghost hunt agency. The team has seven people in it besides me. First there is my boss Shibuya Kazuya. He has dark hair, blue-grey eyes, and has a cold temperament. He annoys me a lot but I am slowly falling in love with him. He is a psychic but he cannot really use his powers because they make him sick. I call him Naru, short for Narcissism.
Then there is Lin Koujo. Lin is Chinese, tall with black hair and grey eyes. I like him a lot. It seems like is the one doing all the hard work like staying up all night to watch the monitors. He is an onmyoji.
Bou-san is a part-time monk. Takiawa Houshou is 25 years old with light brown hair, and brown eyes. His full time studio musician. He is nice and I like him a lot.
Next is John Brown. John is a catholic priest from Australia. He speaks funny because he uses a Kansai accent. He is nineteen years old with blond hair and blue eyes.
Matsuzaki Ayako is a self-taught miko. She has long red hair with brown eyes. She is nice but can be loud and her exorcisms often failed. She needs 'live' trees to do her exorcisms.
Hara Masako is a Television Medium who is quite famous. She can be nice but most of the time she is annoying. She seems to like to tease me.
The last person in our group is Osamu Yasuhara, he is my age and has black hair and dark grey eyes. He doesn't have any powers but is a great researcher.
We work well together. Well we did, before Naru fired me yesterday and told me SPR was shutting down. Today we had our last case, which involved an old elementary school where people went missing at. I exorcise the ghosts myself. The case had worn me out and all I want to do is sleep. I yawned as Naru turn to look at me.
"Tired?" I nod my head slowly, still yawning. "Get me tea then go to bed. Then the narcissistic jerk starts walking toward his own cabin. I huff but went to get him his tea.
I blinked, staring at the buildings inform of me. I just finish watching the last exorcism that I need to here in Japan. Noll has been nagging me to hurry home the last few days. He was getting annoyed with me.
"Am not, Gene. I just want you home," snapped Noll's voice in my mind. I smile softly. That older brother of mine can be exhausting.
'I miss you too.' I thought to Noll. 'Wish you could be here. We could have found you a girlfriend.' I heard a small girl's voice giggle.
'I DO NOT need a girlfriend, Eugene.' I made Noll angry at me again. He only calls me by my full name when I made him mad. Noll can be so cute sometimes.
'Oliver, you cannot stay with your books and your less-then-desired tea for the rest of your life. Come on Noll, one day you will not have me.' I thought back to him as I look for cars in the street.
'Eugene, I don't think I could ever smile again if you died." How cute. I love my cute little brother.
'I love you too. Gene, but I'm not CUTE. See you when you get home.' I felt him cutting our connection. I step into the road with a huge grin. Half-way across, the headlights hit me. I turned to look at the car heading right at me. I tried to get out of the way but I wasn't fast enough. Pain wrapped around me like a blanket. The car door open, and a familiar woman step out. She turn white looking at me. I knew at that second I was going to die. As I lost conscious, a girl screams in my mind.
I woke up inside a dark place that seems to be moving. I keep my mind close to Noll not wanting to upset him. After a bump, I moan in pain. The girl was sobbing still. It's just my luck the ghost was haunting me in my last few minutes in life.
'Don't cry miss.' I thought in my head. I could hear her gasp. 'Go away. I want to die alone in peace.' To my surprise the girl spoke. The whisper was almost by me.
'How could you say that, Eugene-san? Orivera is waiting for you."
"Orivera? Do you mean Oliver?" I felt her nodding her head. If felt really weird.
'Yes. How can we talk? This is the first time I could talk to someone who was dying.'
'I'm a perfect medium..' I whisper but my body burst even more in pain. The girl moan with me.
'Perfect Medium? Bou-san mentioned that before. It's a medium that speaks in the language of the ghost. They are really rare.' I laugh at her description. It was kind of close but wasn't quite right. Maybe it's okay that a ghost was keeping me comfy as I died.
'Eugene… Are you related to Olivera Davisu? I'm pretty sure his brother was name Eugene." I smile.
'That is me. The twin brother of t Oliver Davis. How come you know him? Most of the time, people in Japan don't know him when I mention it.'
'You sound younger than I thought he would be. I work for SPR. That is Shibuya Paranormal Researcher.' I milled over that. I wonder if Madoka-san knew someone was using those letters for their group. 'My group was hired once to find out why… Forget about that for now. We need to get you out of this car. I will tell you some other time, Eugene." The girl spoke softly.
'So that is why I'm moving? If I'm in a car trunk, there is no way I'm going to get out of this alive." I felt tears in my eyes. Is it me crying or is it the girl. 'You know my name but what is yours?'
'Mai. Eugene, don't give up.'
I smile softly. She is the type of girl I hope Noll would find and marry one day. 'Mai you have a good heart.'
'You know the woman who hit you, didn't you?"
"Yes I saw… " The car stop. 'Mai, thank you for talking to me up to this point, but don't look anyone. See you in the afterlife.'
'But I'm not dead. I'm talking to you through a dream. Tell me where you are, Eugene."
"Through a dream? That is a nice power. Noll would have a blast looking into your power.'
'Naru? That is my boss's nickname. Naru for Narcissus.' I left out a laugh as the woman open the thrunk.
"Why are you laughing?" Spit out the woman. She seem fanatic about something.
"Because Naru is for Narcissus." I said coughing up blood. I thought to Mai.
'Not Naru. Noll. N-o-l-l. It's English. I'm talking about Oliver.'
'I'm sorry I cannot help,' Mai whisper. I wonder what the girl look like. I start drifting toward the darkness but the woman slap my face. I could see a cabin at the edge of a lake.
'Nice to meet you, Mia. I'm glad I got to talk to you?' She sighs in sadness. I feel bad about her seeing my death. 'Do me a favor and tell Oliver about your powers. Also make him smile again.' My eyes shut. My killer was shaking me. Trying to hurry up my death, no doubt.
"I… I promise. Eugene Davisu. Maybe Naru will know how to find Professor Davis.'
I felt a smile on my face for last time. Mai. I haven't known her long but I'm glad I met her. 'My friends call me Gene not Eugene. So call me Gene."
I blink. Looking down I could see my own body not Gene's. I felt tears appearing in my eyes as I thought of that brave boy. I never heard that Eugene Davisu was dead. I had dreams where I saw someone died but this is the first time I spoke to the victim as they died. I could hear both my own and Gene's thoughts. It must have been the weirdest dream.
"DON'T YOU DARE DIE!" The scream came behind me. I turn around to see the woman who killed Gene. I span to look at the park car. It was the same car. The backseat was full of boxes and the passage seat had stacks of bags in it. I felt anger that I never felt before boil inside of me. I don't care if I died, I storm over to her.
"KID! WAKE UP. YOU CANNOT DIED NOW!" She was shaking her new victim. She move a bit and I got a better look at her victim.
IT WAS NARU!
A/N: That is it for the first chapter. There is a reason why Mai and Gene could talk like they did, but I will get to that in Arc Five. The reason Mai kept saying Davisu instead of Davis was in Japan, that is what I believe they would say the Davis name. I hope you like it.
I have a few questions:
1) How did you like it?
2) Do you have any ideas for an arc? Put in a request and I might just do it. I have Arcs 1-5 and Arc 10 already planned out but would be happy to do a request.
3) Bou-san and Ayako? Bou-san and Yasuhara? Ayako and Yasuhara? Or Bou-san and Ayako and Yasuhara? Which of these do you like more? I'm open to write any for the four couplings or threesomes.
4) How do you feel about Mai solving a cause with just Gene and Yasuhara helping?
Next Chapter:
Mai finds out a truth that would change her output on Naru and will say good bye to SPR. Exactly who is Gene and what is his connection to Naru? Find out next week.
