Hey everyone!

I'm so sorry again for the long update. I just kept running out of ideas *looking sheepish*.

Thanks so much to Tsuki no Shijima for telling me about ghosts before!

Enjoy! Please review and tell me what you think. :D

Ch. 13

After hearing her nephews' experiences in Los Angeles, Aunt Cass was not comfortable. "How about you boys come back here early?" she said, worriedly. "I'll book for you"

Hiro chuckled. "Relax Aunt Cass. We're fine, we're having fun."

Tadashi nodded, smiling. "Don't worry, though. We'll be home soon, just a few more days."

She sighed. "Alright, just promise me you'd be careful" she said.

The Hamada brothers said their goodbyes, and closed. Tadashi snapped his laptop lid shut, and shook his head smiling fondly. Aunt Cass! She could be such a worrywart sometimes. He placed his laptop in the charger when suddenly, he felt a wave of dizziness. He held his head.

"Hiro" he said. "Can you get me a glass of water please?"

The younger Hamada looked up from his phone. Seeing his big brother holding his head tiredly, Hiro dropped the phone, rushed to him, and placed his hand on his arm. "Dashi, are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

Tadashi was still holding his head. "Yes Hiro, I'm fine. Just get me water please."

Hiro nodded as he picked up the glass and went to the kitchen tap to fill it. By the time he handed the glass of water to his brother, he saw that he had already collapsed. Tadashi's eyes were rolled back, which had Hiro suddenly panic.

"Tadashi" he said, shaking him lightly. When his big brother did not wake up yet, he screamed at the top of his lungs. He was so frightened. "TADASHI!" he screamed. "HELP! SOMEBODY!" Poor Hiro, did not know what to do. Usually when something bad happened to him, Tadashi took care of him. But right now when something suddenly happened to his brother, he didn't know how to act as it was the first time. Nothing bad usually happened to Tadashi until now.

Hiro was stuck and panicked. What happened to his brother? He screamed at the top his lungs again, hoping he would attract attention. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!" He was almost bursting into tears.

He still continued screaming at the top of his lungs when suddenly the door banged.

Hiro stood up nervously to open the door, hoping it was someone offering to help him wake Tadashi.

A grumpy old man entered with his stick. "You making so much noise!" he said angrily, pointing his stick at him. His hair was messed up. "I try to sleep, and you so loud I hear you voice all the way from other floor, so I got all way up here to get you big fat mouth to shut up. Please stop!" he banged his stick on the carpeted floor frustratingly, and was about to leave when Hiro said, "but something just happened to my brother! Can't you see?! Can't anyone help?! And who are you, anyway?!" Hiro was fuming.

The grumpy old man turned to him again. "I'm sorry, can't do anything" he said, as he left, door slammed shut behind him.

Hiro fumed even more. "Idiot" he said under his breath.

He suddenly had an idea of what to do.

He threw on his hoodie, and quickly rushed out their hotel room to get Alan. Maybe he can help. He was their only good friend here after all.

He took two or three steps at a time. How it was taking forever to get all the way down!

Once he was finally in the main floor, he rushed to the restaurant. When Alan saw the younger Hamada, he smiled. "Hey Hiro, what are you doing here?" he asked. "And what's the hurry?"

Hiro was huffing and puffing. "Alan" he said, catching his breath. "This is urgent. Something just happened to my brother. Can you please come help? Thought maybe you'd know what to do."

Alan's cheerful smile turned to worry. "What happened?" he asked.

"No time to explain." Hiro said, going to the stairway. "Come on" he rushed up, Alan behind him.

Once they finally got up to their hotel room, Hiro led Alan to Tadashi. "He's right here" he said. When Alan saw Tadashi, lying with his eyes rolled back on the ground, he said, "Oh no! How did that happen?"

Hiro explained how his brother had suddenly felt dizzy.

"I see…" Alan nodded. "Now let's see what we can do" he said, kneeling beside Tadashi. He gave him a little slap; it didn't work. Next, he rubbed water on his face, and finally, Tadashi sat up blinking.

"Tadashi!" Hiro said happily, relieved that is brother is fine. He rushed over to give him a tight hug. "So glad you're okay!" he then turned to Alan, "Thanks, man!"

Tadashi broke from the hug a little, and asked, "What happened?" he was a little confused.

Hiro explained what happened, and how he had got Alan to help him.

"Oh" Tadashi said, rubbing his head. "Thanks"

"Are you okay?" Alan asked, helping the elder Hamada stand up.

"Yes, I'm fine, thank you." Tadashi said, smiling. "Just felt dizzy, and collapsed."

"How about you try to lay down?" he suggested.

"Oh no, I'm fine" Tadashi said, sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Are you sure?" Alan asked, seeing the tired look on the elder Hamada's face.

"Yes, thank you" he said.

"Okay, if you say so." Alan said. "Now I've got to get some more work done…" He was about to leave when Tadashi called him back.

"Yes?" Alan turned around. "Anything else?"

"Yes." The elder Hamada said politely. "Do you mind if you could stay with us a little longer?"

Hiro sat beside Tadashi, wondering what his older brother wanted to say.

"Sure, not at all." Alan sat with the Hamadas in Tadashi's bed. "What's up?"

"We would like to talk to you about something…"

"Yeah sure, say."

"You know about the haunting happening here?" Tadashi asked.

"Yeah, why?" Alan shrugged.

"We would like to know what Bess wants from us. Her haunting is annoying us and keeping us from enjoying our stay here. So I was just wondering if you may know something?"

Alan sighed. "To be honest, I barely know anything about her. All I know is that she haunts the place, especially when guests are staying in her room."

"Like us" Hiro muttered.

"Yeah" Alan continued. "Also, I know that she is Mia's great niece." he shrugged. "And that she was murdered here way long time ago in this room."

"How can you get rid of her?" Hiro asked.

Alan leaned closer. "You want to know something, though." His voice suddenly turned into a cautious whisper.

Hiro and Tadashi, their curiosity rising, leaned closer, eager to hear what Alan has to say about this haunting place.

"I may not know much about Bess, but I know about ghosts. I'm sorry to be telling you this but sadly, you can't get rid of her."

Hiro's eyes widened. "Why?"

Alan sighed. "I honestly don't know how to explain, but let me tell you some things you should know and be careful about."

"Sure, go ahead and say" Tadashi said, bracing himself for the worst.

"Okay, so here goes…There are some things about ghosts you should know, like Bess. One. They frighten you, the stronger they become. Two. If you are in a foreign place like here, never litter, never make a mess, never swear, and listen if someone warns you about something. Also, don't dare talk about them."

At hearing that last sentence, Hiro's face turned white. "We were just talking about her today when we were talking to our aunt."

"Oh, not good" Alan said, shaking his head. "I'll explain that to you later as I'm not done yet. Anyway, three. Sometimes ghosts can be attracted to someone when they think that person is good looking."

"Creepy" Tadashi commented. His face was turning white, too.

Alan continued. "Four. Try to ignore and not to panic every time they disrupt you. Five. Try not to be alone and have at least one companion with you to prevent if something bad happens."

By that time, Hiro and Tadashi were holding onto each other for dear life.

"And finally, six. If the ghosts are starting to hurt you or even posses, you leave here immediately. That's all I've got to say. Remember my warning."

Alan stood up to leave. "Anyway, I've got to get going now. My boss would come looking for me anytime now." he went for the door.

"Thanks for your time" Tadashi said.

Once Alan was fully out of earshot, Hiro turned to look at his older brother.

"Dashi, I'm creeped." His eyes were wide.

Tadashi took his little brother's hand in his and began rubbing circles in it. "I know bud, same here."

"I hope I don't look too handsome for Bess to come for me."

Tadashi chuckled at this. "Oh Hiro, you're so funny." he said, ruffling his hair affectionately. Then added assuring, "Don't worry, she won't" even though he was not 100% sure. "And remember what Alan said. Lets not panic, alright?

Also, lets not think about the haunting, and have fun here as much as we can." Tadashi smiled at his younger brother.

Hiro returned his smile. His big brother- the always optimist one! That's one of the things he loved about him.

"How about we go down for pizza for dinner?" Tadashi suggested.

"Yes!" Hiro said, jumping down from the bed. "I'm starved, man!"

Tadashi chuckled lightly. "Lets go then" he said, throwing on his cardigan.

That night, Hiro couldn't sleep. He was strangely extremely freezing. No matter how much he tightened the comforter around him, he still didn't get warm enough. He just continued shivering uncontrollably. He looked over at the AC on top to see if it was on; it wasn't. Next, he looked over at their window to see if it was open; it wasn't either. Creepy!

"What is this place." he muttered to himself. He tossed and turned uncomfortably. Bored lying there for a long time, he pushed back the covers, slid down his bed, his feet touching the carpeted floor, and trooped over to Tadashi.

" 'Dashi, 'Dashi" Hiro whispered, shaking his older brother gently.

Tadashi opened his eyes, and smiled when he saw Hiro. "You all right, bud?" he asked sleepily.

"Tadashi, I don't know why but I'm extremely freezing for no reason!" he wrapped his arms around himself to keep warm. "It's so weird 'Dashi! I checked if the AC was on, and if the windows were open. Neither were!" he shivered. Hiro continued on complaining.

Tadashi could tell that his brother was excited so he shushed him gently and scooted over, his big brother instinct kicking in, to make room for him. He patted the spot next to him.

"Here. Lay down with me if you want." he offered. "I'll keep you warm."

Hiro shook his head. "No 'Dashi, that's embarrassing! But do you know if there is another blanket?"

Tadashi chuckled at this. "Alright, let's check" he said, pushing back his covers.

He opened the cupboard to check for an extra blanket for his little brother to keep warm. Fortunately, there was a folded blanket just in the corner of the shelf.

"Oh, there is!" Tadashi said, getting it out. He handed it to Hiro.

"Thanks 'Dashi" He said gratefully. "Hopefully, it will be better."

Finally, Hiro had two blankets on top of him.

"Better?" Tadashi asked him.

"Still freezing" Hiro muttered. "But at least better than before."

"I'm glad" Tadashi said, heading back to his bed. "Wake me up if you need anything else."

"Will do" Hiro said as he finally fell asleep.

It would be so awesome if you could shoot me some more creepy ideas! I would really appreciate it. Feel free to pester me through PM with them. :)

Oh, and one more thing, I apologize if this chapter was a bit crappy. Especially the last part.
