Well, nevertheless, now with a new companion on their side, they began to tackle on cases more intensely than ever and the ghosts are no going to give in so easily. Will they handle it? Will Naru able to save Mai every time or will she be lost towards the team forever?
Revival (Gene's POV)
Gene moaned slightly and his eyes flickered twice before fully opening his eyes. He began to wonder where he was. He looked around and slowly took in of his surroundings. He realized that he was in a hospital but it wasn't an English hospital. Huh? That was weird. He frowned as he tried to remember anything that might occur when he was in his unconscious state. Then, it all came back to him. He was hit by a car a year ago and was hit again to made sure that he was fully dead before he was thrown into the lake. The second hit didn't kill him but rather it only knocked him unconscious and into probably coma.
From his luck that he was a psychic medium, he was able to see the events that was transpiring for him. He still remember it very clearly. He was wrapped in a towel and thrown into a lake. While in the lake, he saw himself being fished out by two young men since they saw the events of the accident. Then, he was being brought to a local hospital near the lake and he was being tended to. After that, he had tried to make contact with his brother but failed considering that he cannot reach for it. He made contact with one girl though and her name was Mai.
After that, he became her guide and guided her through cases that his younger brother was working on. He was able to help her a lot though she didn't tell a thing about him towards his brother, thinking him as Naru for which it was the short abbreviation for Narcissist. Funny how she made that up when clearly it sounded exactly like Noll in his brother's real nickname. Still, he played along anyway. The connections came to an end when he was sucked back into his own body. That is when he now woke up in the hospital he was brought into.
After remember all those events that was happening while he was in unconscious mode, he decided to get up and stretched his stiff body. He sat up from bed first just in time when a nurse came in.
"Oh, sir. You are awake at last." Said the nurse,"Please, wait here for a moment while I get the doctor to check up on how your body is taking." With that, the nurse left. Gene sighed dramatically as he flung the covers out of his body and sat on the bed now. He then got up and began walking around, stretching his stiff body and make sure he was fully himself again. Then smiling a broad smile, he sat back down on the end of the bed when a doctor came in.
"Hello. I heard you were awake. How are you feeling?" The doctor asked him. Gene gave him a bright smile.
"Hello, doc. I'm doing good. In fact, I feel refreshed and recovered." Gene gave his answer in a cheerful tone."I'm just stretching and letting my body take in back to motion."
"I am glad to hear that. I'll like to know first of your name, mister." The doctor said.
"My name is Eugene Davis." Gene replied.
"E-Eugene Davis?! Oliver's brother?" The doctor nearly dropped his clipboard.
"You got that right. By the way, did you know anything about my brother's current situation right now? It's been a year since I last talked to him." Gene asked, curious.
"I-I heard that he came to Japan to find your body. I wasn't sure of his whereabouts." The doctor replied, still in shock.
"Wait, he thought I was dead?" Gene was first shocked but he turned into chuckling a bit,"I guess he noticed huh. Looks like it's up to me to tell him that I am alive again."
"Uh, yeah. Your clothes are nicely washed in the corner. You are free to go as you wish, Mr. Davis." The doctor said a bit awkwardly as he slowly left the room, closing the door behind him. Gene sighed. Guess being the brother of the famed psychic researcher can have some problems sometimes. So, Gene went and dressed himself in full black before he left the hospital. When he arrived outside, he found a taxi nearby. So, he got in began to drive to Tokyo, the only best bet of where his brother could possibly be.
Shibuya Psychic Research (Naru's POV)
Naru was in his office early in the morning at precisely 6:30am sharp. He was sitting on the chair comfortably and he was looking through the papers, wondering if he can ever had his tea. His mind was into the tea he had drank every morning that Mai provided him. Thinking of Mai made him wonder if she was safe or not. Paranoid of her safety as always. He sighed, thinking of whether or not he was in love with Mai or not. Wait, why is he thinking that he might be in love with her? He shook his head gently, muttering about something being such a huge idiot. Mai was really rubbing onto him.
He didn't think that he was was thinking for so long because Mai came walking in, humming something like a melody from a Japanese pop star songs. He looked from where he was sitting and called out,"Mai, tea." Before he continued working. He worked on the paperwork that was supposed to be due within the next few days. He will have Lin send it back to England once it was done.
A warm cup of tea was placed onto his table. Naru took it and sipped it gratefully. He then looked at Mai who was standing like there was nothing to do. Naru frowned at Mai on that.
"Yes, can I help you with anything?" Naru said in a dull tone.
"Oh, nothing! Don't mind me!" Mai said quickly as she scuttled off to her desk area. Naru just sighed and shook his head. Some reason, whatever Mai is thinking it sounded like she was in her imaginary world. It was funny how that happened. So, Naru continued working without paying much attention around his environment.
Until around 2pm in the afternoon. At 2 and precisely at that time, the door of his office rang as someone walked inside. He heard Mai gasp in shock. What is wrong now? Naru wasn't sure if he wanted to look up from where he was but he had to. He looked up and his eyes widen in shock and filled emotion. Before him was his older brother, Gene. Never he thought he was there, right in front of him. He got up from his seat and walked out where his brother was smiling at him.
"Gene?" Naru said in surprise and wonder.
"I can see your missing me." His brother replied.
"Are you...really alive?" Naru asked now in a more quiet tone and now looking at the floor.
"Don't regret it. I'm standing here, and even speaking to you." Gene replied, and he imitated his hard emotionless Naru face. It looked so identical on that. Lin happened to be come out holding his coffee cup when he saw Gene. His reaction towards that was dropping it on the floor. That caused Gene to turned towards the person that caused this noise.
"Lin." Gene said with a surprised tone.
"Gene. Y-Your alive..." Lin replied, his tone clearly surprised and rather grateful as well.
"That I am. And that's Mai there huh?" Gene asked, hand gesturing towards his assistant.
"How do you know her name?" Naru asked with a raised brow.
"How about I explain it to all of you." Gene suggested.
"Sounds rational." Naru commented, now his hard expression back on.
"Agreeing with me? Has Mai been sticking around with you too long? Cause it sounds like you are being a bit more accepting towards others and that is a rare thing you will do, Naru." He grinned teasingly at his brother. A glare was given from Naru. So, they all seated until Ayako, Monk and John came in.
"Hey Naru what's-" MOnk began but was in shock when he saw Gene sitting there as well. Naru sighed. That was expected.
"Oh, hey who are those guys? Looks like I don't know everyone around here." Gene said with a slight grin.
"Naru don't tell that's-" Ayako began but Naru cut her off with a hand gesture.
"Yes, he's alive. If you wish to know the story, then sit around and listen. I'll expect you to be quiet." Naru said with a frown. Masako came in a second later and was also shocked as well.
"G-Gene..." Masako said quietly.
"Masako Hara? Naru, since when did you hired her to work here?" Gene was not in turn to be surprised.
"A year ago." Naru replied and closed his eyes, hoping he'll listen to Gene's story. He really desperately need to know. The SPR members grew quiet as they took their respectful seats and now eyes all onto Gene and Naru.
"Gene, you may began to tell about the truth behind all that has transpired." Naru said and he leaned back on the chair he was sitting. All the SPR members were listening as well.
"Sounds fair." Gene nodded and he began to speak. Naru and the rest of the SPR members listened as he narrated his story until he go to the point about him meeting Mai in her dreams. No one was surprised by that since Mai had somehow figured it out in the first place. Naru did mention the talk with the SPR that his brother was exactly identical towards him besides personality. The talk sounded long but Gene finished. When he was done, there was silence lingering around the room. Naru absorbed in the information that his brother gave to him. So, even though it look as though Gene would die, he was saved by two men.
"I see. I'm glad that you are alive and awake from your coma." Mai was the first to speak.
"Yeah. Naru at least had his brother back." Monk smiled.
"Gene." Naru interrupted the forthcoming conversation."Are you well enough to help us if there are cases needed to solve?"
"Sure. In fact, I'll be staying with you and Lin in Japan. I think you are becoming detached here, huh?" Gene responded, teasing him a little. Naru glared at Gene. He knew his brother likes to teased with him quite a lot but still he was kinda used to it.
"Gene, I'll like it if you refrain from teasing out loud." Naru said,"It is embarrassing enough."
"Awww, Naru! I can't help but tease you! Your so teasable you know!" Gene smirked slightly causing Naru to sigh. Looks like that's never gonna change. Still, Naru was more than glad that Gene was in fact alive and well. So, Naru retreated to his office after the affair was done since he wanted to have Gene some time with the rest of SPR team. Lin had followed with him.
"Naru, don't you think you should join in with the conversation? I mean, it's your brother you know." Lin said.
"I'll very much like to stay out of it." Naru replied, crossing his arms."I hate to hear pointless talk."
"Still, at least you can try to be included in the conversation." Lin said.
"No. I'll like to do my work so I'll appreciate if you leave me some time alone to do my work." Naru said as he sat down on his chair. Lin sighed and left the office. Naru know he wasn't the type to be in conversations and since he was never good with people, especially on crowds that are always socializing. He was the anti-social type after all.
The day went on until evening where everyone apparently left except for Gene and Mai. The two were talking over at Mai's desk while Mai was trying her best to stay awake on work periods and do the paperwork before her. It was tough, since she has the sense to always fall asleep. Naru didn't paid too much attention to her. She has the tendency to fall asleep without a reason, even if she's not tired whatsoever.
It was already 8pm and Naru was thinking of closing the office for the day. He was about to walk out of the office to tell Mai she can leave for the day when a young man came into the door with a sorrowful face on. Since now that Gene was alive, both him and Naru looked at each other with a wondering face though Naru didn't show it much.
What's up with that young man? Gene asked Naru through their connection.
Probably a costumer. And even when you just came here. Naru sighed as he turned towards Mai and gave her a look to greet him. Mai looked up and nodded and headed towards the costumer with a smile on her face.
"Hello, sir. How may I assist you?"
"Is Kazuya Shibuya here?" The man asked. Right in the corner of his eyes, he saw Gene made a mocking face. Naru side glared at Gene and warned him to keep quiet. Gene chuckled but did as he was told.
"Oh, yes. I shall get him in a minute. Please, have a seat while you wait for him. Would you like any tea?"
"No need to but thank you for the offer." The man smiled. Mai nodded and walked towards him with a nod before she went to call Lin as well. Naru went and sat on his usual seat, his brother sitting on the comfortable sofa just across from Lin's seat. Lin then took his seat where he usually was. The man had a first surprised expression his face as he stared at both Naru and Gene. Naru knew the costumer was surprised by the two identical looks.
"Uh, who is Kazuya Shibuya?" The man wondered.
"I am the man you are to seek. What business do you have with me at this time of the hour?" Naru asked, looking at him.
"I am here to ask you to take on a case." The man replied. Two tea cups were placed on the table. Naru picked up his cup and sipped it gratefully before putting it down again.
"Tell us about the case briefly." Naru replied, watching the man."As well, I'll like to know your name."
"Of course. My name is Kira Shibado and I came here to report about missing couples that come to the hotel if they decide to stay in for the night. They usually come in the hotel to sign in to sleep in then the next morning they are gone. I have no idea why that happens." The man, Kira Shibado explained.
"What is the name of his hotel?" Naru asked.
"Midaso Resort. It is a five star hotel and my family has been running it for generations." Shibado beamed slightly.
"We will take the case. Leave the address with my assistant and we will arrive there in 3 days time. Reserve three rooms for us to sleep in and a room to set up our equipment for base." Naru ordered before he headed for his office. Gene oddly followed behind him. Naru then sat down on his chair and looked up at Gene.
"You want to talk to me about something?"
"Shouldn't it be better if we have rooms reserved for paired couples?" Gene smirked. Naru glared.
"And what of you? If everyone has one and only you didn't, then it would obviously be unfair."
"Oh, I wasn't thinking of doing it on everyone but only on certain people." Gene said, the smirk still on his face. Naru's glare deepen.
"What are you implying, Gene?"
"Hey, it's only to help in the case. It's not my fault that you won't accept this, Noll." Gene said innocently,"Besides, you and her are a perfect couple."
"Say that again and I'll make sure you really are dead." Naru threatened.
Gene chuckled."You will have to accept it in any other way. Even if you are not in the same room with her, you will still need to be a couple like fashion. I might not be but still, it wouldn't be a problem for me."
Naru sighed."We'll discuss this tomorrow with the rest of the SPR members." Naru felt weary of this conversation since it involved between him and Mai. It was wrong to say the most. Besides, how can he love Mai? She is just an assistant towards him, nothing more. He wouldn't ever have any feelings towards her anyway. His brother had gotten the wrong idea at that point.
So, he packed up and got ready and was ready to leave the office. He walked outside and looked at Mai.
"You are off for today. Be ready to come tomorrow, same time." Naru then walked towards the door.
"You got it, boss! See ya!" As she ran towards the door and got out and she was gone. Naru sighed and walked out of the office along with Gene and Lin in a more calm manner. So, a case will soon be coming up towards their doorstep already after Gene's revival. This would be interesting.
