Hi,

Before everyone asks me why am I starting this one without finishing my other story (and by the way, why haven't I uploaded it for so long?). Here is the reason: I am stuck!!! I have also become lazy during the vacation. So, I am a little slow at updating. I am using this story as a source of my head to get moving.. get the creative side started, if I have one that is.. may be I don't, that's why its been taking this long.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Ghost Hunt..

Ghost Hunt is not this sloppy..

Chapter 1

"Father, please," the raven-haired boy asked his father who was sitting in his office chair.

"No, Noll. You can't go there alone.. not after what happened to Gene." He remembered the painful memories of last year and looked straight at his adopted son's blue eyes.

"Even mother agreed." Noll continued after a pause but seemed to be failing miserably especially after Gene was brought up.

"You can't go alone, at least take Lin with you." His father finally proposed a solution.

"I have a doctorate degree and you are asking me to bring a baby-sitter with me? I am telling you I will not get in trouble. Try to understand." This is Noll you are talking about, he doesn't get in troubles. Ever. He answered calmly but the tone was laced with desperation.

Noll, in other words Dr. Oliver Davis, wanted to do a research in one of the secluded towns in Japan. It is said to have a series of paranormal activities that caught his interest. That is what he has been saying to his family, but it wasn't true. It is only half the truth. He has to go there to save his brother. It might sound ridiculous but it is true. He found enough information to support his decision. He does not give up that easily.

He knows if Lin goes with him, he is going to stop him from doing anything like that. He can't leave everything as it is. No, not when it is about Gene. That stupid person who managed to get in a coma when he was merely going to attend a convention and go sightseeing.

"Okay, you go there check out everything and call me everyday and-" His father started giving out instructions to him, finally giving in.

Noll interrupted, "Everyday?.. Every month?"

"Fine, every other day for the first month," He said as if considering his suggestion. By this time, Noll was considering to not call at all.

"And if you don't call I will immediately send Lin to fetch you back." Dr. Davis smirked looking at his son because he was able to stop his line of thought. Fetch me back? What am I? A bone?

"Fine"

I hate these local trains. Are we still living in 18th century? Noll thought to himself as he climbed to the train that was suppose to take him to the town. The train was not in very good condition as if it already survived a few crashes and one more ride will be the limit. Hopefully its not.

He dropped his bag on the chair by the window and sat on the seat beside it. The bag contained all the important things, his passport, money, credit cards, cell phone, so he kept it safely with him. He heard about pick-pocketers, so he kept everything in the bag. To put it shortly it was his life-line. He was disturbed form his intense staring (at the bag) when a short brown-haired girl sat on the seat in front of him.

Little did he know his ride was never going to be what he wished or hoped, which is quiet and peaceful.

"Hi, I am Taniyama Mai. You can call me Mai." The girl cheerful introduced herself and settled in her seat. She waited expectantly for her companion's introduction which sadly never came.

"And you are?" Finally she took it upon herself to do the asking. Noll lifted his head up, looked at her strangely as if she was an alien and finally answered.

"Shibuya Kazuya." Short and concise. It is not likely that anyone will know him but anyways, it is good to be safe. The girl seemed a little disappointed at his answer.

"Where are you going? I am going to Yoshinawa. Unique name right." Nevertheless, the girl was not disappointed but continued on trying to create a conversation. After all it was a five hour ride.

"Same place."

"Really? You are then going to my town. I know every single person in that town... well more or less every single person. It is small town, you know." The girl was now more interested and determined to make him talk.

"I know" Noll answered only half listening to the girl's blabbering. Seriously, can't she see the disinterest.

"So yeah. I know a lot of people. If you need anything you can ask me. I think everyone is going to help anyways though, you are very handsome." Nothing was working out for Mai, so may be a little compliment will make him comfortable. She was after all telling the truth. But to Noll, apparently she does not understand when someone does not want to talk.

"You don't have a bad taste." He smoothly replied looking at her for the first time.

"Whoa, you finally said a sentence.. and wait! Did you just?" Now she was mad, she tried to be nice and friendly and he answers in a high-and-mighty way! On the other hand, Noll found her furious face really funny.

Well something was enjoyable in this train.

After 5 hours

The whole ride consisted of Mai talking and talking and talking, while Noll listened and ignored. During this time, he learned that she studies in Tokyo and comes home every summer. But she didn't come last year, because her marriage was arranged with another boy who she didn't like. A few days ago, she heard he is already married now, so she is visiting her parents this summer.

Oh. By the way, he has a new name: Naru, short for narcissist.

The moment the train stopped, Mai jumped out of the train before everyone started bustling out. According to Mai, it is a famous tourist spot. Yes, Noll listened to every info she said about the town to store for later.

Noll stayed in his seat until the train was almost emptied. He noticed Mai buying water while talking to the vendor. She even pointed towards him, he wondered why. When the train was almost empty, he was ready to get out.

He took a second look at Mai. It took a few seconds of searching until he found her.. being dragged by someone and crying?!

Without a second thought, he ran out.
