A/N: Hello! I found this one-shot when I was browsing my phone. It was written by me on September 03, 2016. That was 5 years ago! I can't believe I found something like this after so many years. It was like I have traveled in the past! After I skimmed through this chapter, I got inspired and thought of a new plot. Hehe. But anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

P.S. I decided to give this a happy ending so I would be updating this after I finished writing the other two GH fanfic in my account.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ghost Hunt.

OLIVER

I opened my eyes after I heard my alarm. I stretched my right arm to search for the ringing alarm clock to shut it off. I lied silently on my bed while gazing at the cream coloured ceiling on my bedroom. I rose up from my bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Not bothering to open the curtains to have some light, I went out of my room and entered the elevator.

It has been five and a half months since I came here at the Land of the Rising Sun. I had never once planned to live here but everything had changed when my older twin brother proposed to go to the other side of the globe to have a research about Japanese culture and occult. We're born Japanese and know how to speak Japanese but we had never gone to the country where our biological parents came from. Our biological parents died and left us when we were little and was adopted by a couple who is working as professors in England. We- or I, have no interest in finding out more information about our roots so I was a bit taken aback when I learned that Gene, my twin brother, want to research more about our parents while doing his official work in Japan. This was his hidden agenda. Him, conducting a research on Japan's culture and occult is just an excuse for their adoptive parents.

Of course, our adoptive parents didn't agree when he proposed the idea but after a few coaxing and such, they eventually agreed. Gene and I already had our 21th birthday so he escaped the idea of having a chaperone in his trip. I didn't tell our parents about Gene's hidden agenda to prevent more misunderstanding and arguments. And I also promised to accompany him after I finished the project that I'm working on. Everything was going smoothly until I had accidentally used psychometry on my brother's clothes.

He was hit by a car but instead of bringing him to the hospital, that woman, the driver, started her car again and ran over hus brother's body. I can feel his pain and emotion. My brother wad afraid of losing his life but he knew he is going to die and was sorry that he couldn't say goodbye. All his bones are broken and it felt like a thousand hammers are pounding my body. It is burning. He was taken to a junk shop and was rolled in a yellow sheet like some kind of garbage. In the last scene, he was thrown to a lake to dispose of his body.

I was shaken when I relived that scene. He died. No, I was not just shaken, my world crumbled into pieces at the sight of emerald green light covering his sight at the end of that vision. I just stood there motionlessly, not saying a single word until my mentor, Madoka came to me. I did not bother looking up to see her reaction after witnessing my awful state at that time. I just stood up and went to find our adoptive parents in the living room. They're having a good time with some guests and I almost didn't tell them about Gene. With clenched fists, I relayed the news to them. All of them were shocked. Then our mother started sobbing. Everyone in the room was tensed and didn't know what to do. I left the house immediately and booked a plane ticket to Japan.

My main objective is to bring my brother home. I don't care if it took me months or years. I will find that place and bring him home. Our parents cooperated with the country's police but they didn't have any results until now. And although I'm already adult, our parents forced me to be accompanied by my Tai Chi teacher, Lin Koujo. All these months, I was searching like a madman yet I still couldn't find his body. Our parents are urging me to leave the work to the police and come home but I didn't listen to their requests and continue searching.

Another month had passed by but still no result. I was feeling restless with this progress. I couldn't sleep at night because I keep on waiting for his spirit to contact me. Some part of me wished that he already but I knew that deep inside if me, I want to see him again one last time to say our goodbyes. I keep searching and getting my hopes up but all I met is a thick end wall and disappointment.

I MISSED HIM.

Every time I met people, I always wished Gene was with me to act as a shield. I wished Gene was there to communicate with people instead of him. I wished Gene was there to attend social gatherings in place of him. I, as the Dr. Oliver Davis, was not the one to say this but I really missed the old times. But I knew I can never turn back time and see Gene again.

"Oliver!"

An excited voice entered my ears as I exited the elevator. It is Lin, my guardian and mentor. He looks eager as he ran up to me. I can tell by looking at his face that he is happy but this mood didn't affect me as I gazed at him with a neutral face. He showed me his cellphone screen and I saw his call log. I saw the history and realized that he was just talking to the police a minute ago.

"They found him! They found the lake!" Lin exclaimed as he pulled me towards the car.

I was still processing the information as we drive towards the location if the lake. It took us a few hours before we reached the place. There I saw that lake, the place where that woman threw my brother. Seeing that place, I was forced to relive the vision where my brother was killed. I nodded at Lin as he raised his phone to call my parents to inform them after my confirmation. I was relieved when I saw the divers in the lake. But although we are at this place and was closer to my goal, I couldn't feel any happiness.

Hours later, they found a body. When I saw him, he was stilled wrapped in that dirty sheet. The yellow color was covered with dirt. I slowly walk towards him and kneeled just beside the body. I feel suffocated while I was gently unwrapping him. I feel like someone is gripping my lungs tightly. It was so hard to breathe while my heart is jumping inside my chest. I want to see him but something inside me is screaming not to. When I saw his rotting body, I couldn't stop the shiver that ran through my spine. They say he is the sun and I am the shadow. But now, my sunshine is gone and now I have to live my life in the dark without him. The sun become a rotting piece of meat now! How can he glow if he's like this?

I want to scream and question why does this have to happen. I want to blame everything. I want to blame myself for not keeping him company. I blame that woman for killing him. I want to blame God for letting this happen. I want to know why does my brother have to die. I want to let it all out but I knew that I can't. If I really did all of this, will this bring my brother back? Will I ever see him alive and full of color? I can feel Lin patting me on my shoulder. I stood up from kneeling and tried my hardest to maintain my expressionless persona. I knew that Lin noticed my grief when I saw his melancholic face but I tried to ignore it and turn my back.

"It's him. Lets go home."

The next day, our parents came and I can see how anxious they are. Dark circles are evident in their eyes indicating how they didn't sleep well these pass few days. Madoka and other close relatives are with them. We prepared to leave immediately after that. When we arrived at England, we prepared a ceremony for him and buried him in the best cemetery.

My parents didn't know how to continue days like normal without Gene at the beginning. My mother would accidentally prepare Gene's plate in dinner and my father would unconsciously ask Gene how is did his day go. The lively dinner turn into a silent grieving spot. I couldn't continue like this so I spent my days working on my research. I turn my office into my home and spend almost 24 hours inside that little world.

12 years later.

I couldn't believe I had lived this far. Today is September 19th. It is our 33th birthday today. My brother's killer was found after a few years of hiding. She was arrested and put to jail. Well, I don't care about it anymore. I just let it be and continue to live my 'boring' life.

I had made so many discoveries during this time but instead of the living, I made progress in understanding the dead and supernatural. It is depressing to the eyes of those pumpkins but not for me. It made me a bit happy with this discoveries and breakthroughs but I still feel emptiness in my heart. Feeling the stuffiness inside my office, I went to the rooftop to breath some fresh air.

My phone keep on ringing inside my pocket. Some acquaintances must've noticed the date and emailed me to greet me a happy birthday. I was annoyed by the noise so I turn it off without looking at the messages. I thought I was the only one in the rooftop but I heard someone crying not far away from me. It is not me to poke my nose into someone's business but that cry was so heart wrenching that it pulled me towards the noise.

There I saw a sobbing woman. Her long curly hair covered whole petite frame and all I can see is her shaking body and her glistening brown hair. It was such a pitiful sight. I still don't know why was I in front of her and I plan to leave her but I noticed her lifting her head. There I saw her limpid chocolate brown eyes. The rims of her eyes are red and a bit swollen. She was very pale like she had never been out to the sun. Looking at her again, I noticed the hospital gown she is wearing under her black overcoat. Her eyes met mine and we stayed like that for minutes. I don't know what got me but I spoke to her first.

"Who.. Who are you?"

I assumed she just escape from the hospital considering what she is wearing. I don't know if she is from a psychiatric ward or just an ordinary patient but I am not afraid of her. I could just use my PK on her if she ever attack me. Her eyes are still on mine and she was clearly confused as she stared. And I don't really know why I am speaking to her.

"Oliver. I am Oliver Davis."

I can see a flash of surprise on her eyes. She must've heard my name somewhere. I did make a splash when I release my books over these past few years. She is very easy to read. She was confused after her initial shock and scrutinize my face. She must have been doubtful of my statement. She then smiled at me after a few moments later. She looks like she's glowing when she smiled but it wanes as soon as I saw the sorrow in her eyes. She pointed the spot beside her and waved her hand to me. She wants me to sit beside her. And again, I heed to her request. I really don't know why I am currently doing this. I am really confused at myself.

She gently took my hand and placed it in her palm. I had the urge to slapped her hand away but when I saw the eagerness in her eyes, that thought was washed away. She spread my fingers and caressed my palm. It tickles. She continued doing so before writing letters on it using her finger. She couldn't speak?

U. S.T.A.Y.?

Is she asking me to accompany her? I look at her eyes and realized what she is asking. I nodded at her. My brain is complaining but I don't care right now. Besides, both my body and mind are currently relaxed while staying with her. Her eyes glistened at my response and bowed her head to write on my palm again.

L.I.N.E.N.

Is that her name? She point at herself when I look at her. She smiled at me but like the other smiles I had seen minutes ago, it has a hint of sadness in it. I don't know why she smiles like that but I didn't have the heart to ask her.

"Hello, Linen. Where are you from?"

My voice is as cold as usual but she didn't show any disappointment and continued to write on his palm. She continued to smile but her eyes are still so sad. I really don't know what I am doing and I knew that this is illogical and rare for me but for now, I want to talk to this woman. I don't care if I am a bit talky or it destroys my image.

J.A.P.A.N.

I was a but stunned when I read her first three letters. She had not completely wrote the words a while ago but I already knew what her answer was. It has been a while since I heard or seen that word. I pursed my lips as she continued writing letters.

U.B.O.O.K.S.L.I.K.E.

She like my books? She stared at me and wait for me to answer or to react at what she had wrote. I had met so many fans of my books but it is my first time facing a face one-on-one and a mute woman at that.

"Do you enjoy it?"

She nodded her head like a pecking chicken as an answer to my question. Despite her pitiful appearance, I can say that she looks pleasant when she did that. I raised my free hand and rubbed her head. It feels even satisfying when she closed her eyes and rub her head to my palm like a kitten. What was that word again? Adorable. Yes, she currently looks so adorable at this moment. She opened her big eyes once again and wrote something on my palm.

A.U.T.O.G.R.A.P.H

"You want my autograph?"

She nodded her head again and look at me with expectation. She stretched her hand out to showed me her pale right arm. She then repeatedly point at the spot right above her wrist. She wants me to sign there?

"I don't have a pen. But the sun is getting hotter and hotter. We should go down. I'll give you my autograph then."

I kindly offered her and stood up but when I returned my gaze to her, she just look at me sadly. She point at herself and then to the sky. I didn't understand it at first but when I saw her eyes, it gave me the answers. She's leaving? That makes sense. She's wearing a hospital gown after all. I felt my heart being gripped and my throat being dry. That familiar feeling is coming again. It was like that time when Gene left. It's suffocating. I look at her without saying words. I gulp as I stretched my shaking hand to her.

"Come with me." I said almost pleadingly.

I am really possessed. What am I doing getting attached to a stranger? I am so pathetic. She look at me and nodded, reaching out to hand hand. I grip it tightly, as if afraid of letting her go, and pulled her up. But she collapsed the second she stood up. It must have been because she is sitting for so long. Seeing how she is struggling to stand up, I picked her frame up and carried her.

She let out a squeak and was tapping my chest, signalling me to put her down but I ignored her and walk downstairs. Creepy but it was satisfying to watch her embarrassed, red face. I feel my lips hook up a little while watching her adorable face. It is official, I am really possessed but it is not that bad. She stopped struggling and buried her face on my neck. We passed by the hall and was noticed by some staffs in the HQ. I still don't know how she sneaked in this building but I threw that thought at the back of my mind as I glanced at the woman in my arms.

Her eyes are closed and her arms are loosely gripping my neck unlike a while ago. I frowned when I noticed her cold hands and face on my skin. With this, I suddenly felt something is wrong. So instead of heading to my office, where I originally wanted to go to, I went to the elevator to go down the first floor. There are murmurs around me but I ignored them all and carried Linen outside the building. A hospital is located near the BSPR HQ so she must have ran away from there. I can hear Lin and Madoka calling for me but hearing how slow Linen is breathing, I ignored them and ran towards the hospital.

My heart is beginning to race when I saw Linen's sweating face. Her breathe is getting slower and slower as her temperature is getting colder than ever. It was like she was a ...

No. Please. Not yet. Not in front of me. I rushed to the emergency and I was relieved when someone recognized the woman in my arms.

"Ms. Taniyama?!" The nurse screamed in panic as she lead me towards a bed.

A doctor immediately checked Linen and then staff in the emergency began to panic when the doctor frantically shouted to bring in some equipment. The doctor began resuscitating the woman as I watch the whole scenario motionlessly. I was greatly stunned. She was just talking to me a while ago. Why? Why is she dying now?

I saw Madoka and Lin running towards me and when they reached me, they keep on asking me questions. I blocked out their noises and focused on the woman on the bed. The doctor breathe a sigh of relief when her vitals are steady. I also let out the air that I didn't noticed I was holding. The doctor said that if something like this happened again, they wo t be able to save her. The doctor said that she is currently in a critical situation that she might die at any moment. I can hear the doctor telling the nurse to contact the directors and inform them about this. The nurses immediately transferred her to her room as I followed them. I noticed someone tailing after me but my mind keep on thinking of Linen that I didn't bother turning my head to see who is it.

When I entered her room, I was a bit taken aback by the paintings on the wall. It is very beautiful and was full with class. The nurse thanked me after tucking in the woman. She told me that the woman sleeping in this wards is a philanthropist who helps children in orphanages and also the ones with disabilities. She told him that Ms. Taniyama is also an orphan so she vowed to help the people who suffers the same fate as her. She also told me that Ms. Taniyama enjoys reading Dr. Davis' books as a past time. She had a full collection of his books in the bookshelf beside her hospital bed. I glanced at her bookshelf and it was truly filled with my books. The nurse stepped aside and called the people who are closed to the patient.

I gathered all my books from the shelf and started signing all of them before I walk towards the bed and sit beside her. Her pale face is so calm but it gives off the feeling of leaving. It was like if I turn around for a second, she would leave and disappear like the wind. I pursed my lips and touched her soft hair. She is a bit like Gene. She also glows but not in this state. I don't know her but I see Gene in her. But it was not this reason that I was attracted to her. It was her bewitching eyes that it caught my eye. Her eyes are very sad but they are still very beautiful.

But her eyes are currently close. Oliver's heart ache at this sight. He continued caressing her hair without a word. I felt her hand move. I felt excited and held it into mine. I though she is waking up but I didn't see her eyes opening. I felt her index finger tapping my hand. After analyzing what she meant, I put her finger on my palm. Unlike before, her strength used in writing diminished by leaps and bounds. It was slow but I anxiously wait for her.

U.R.H.E.R.E.

"Yes. I am still here." I hurriedly answered fearing that she might not hear it.

I.M.H.A.P.P.Y.

"I... I am happy too." I answered her while I tried to stop myself from shaking. No, not yet. Please.

C.U.

"Open your eyes." I said while her finger stopped writing. I stared at her face and wait for her to open her eyes. I can see her lips smile but she isn't opening her eyes any more. I waited and saw her lashes flutter. Happiness and sadness rushed through my being. Yes. You can do it. I want to see your eyes once again. Slowly. I smiled when I saw her chocolate eyes. They are limpid as ever. With her lips hooked up, it was the most beautiful scene ever.

I don't know why am I acting like this but I would never forget this sight, I don't care if I am hacked or something but I want to remember this forever. The machines started beeping and the nurse started panicking again but I still sit beside her while watching her look at me with a smile. I know. I know that she's leaving like Gene but I don't want to miss this moment. My hand tightened the grip of her hand as the machine let out a long high-pitch sound. The lines on the scream became flat as the strength on her hand left. The woman closed her eyes again but her smile that contains true happiness never left her face.

Ah. Right. It's okay. Just rest and don't worry about a thing. I also signed all of you books. I have given you what you asked for.

I watch her motionlessly. I hooked my lips up but I never feel happy. I have never let go of her hand and I don't want to let go. The doctors came in but they stood still when they saw the situation. What they fear actually happened an hour after they revived her. I stared at her face and let go of her hand, putting it gently on her side. I caressed her face one last time and tuck her in. I saw the name at the head of her bed. The name printed on the tag is different from the name she gave me a while ago.

MAI TANIYAMA.

I bit my lip to control my emotions and leaned towards her face. Planting a kiss on her forehead, I caressed her hair one more time before I left the room without looking back at her. I met a group of people rushing towards Linen's room. All of them are anxious while running. When they arrived at the room, I can hear their loud sobs echoing through the hospital hallway.

GOODBYE.

"Noll, are you okay? Do you know that woman?"

Madoka continued asking me questions as she and Lin followed me to the BSPR HQ. I have no energy to answer so I didn't bother with them. I can feel so many stares and murmurs directed at me but I pay no attention to all of them even though I can clearly hear them. This familiar feeling of suffocation is enveloping my body again. It is the same when my brother died. Why? I feel so tired and my mind is so exhausted.

When I went home, it is still the same. My parents, together with Lin and Madoka keep on asking me what happened. They asked me what is wrong with me and why am I sad. But am I sad? Is that I'm exhausted?

I clenched my teeth and closed all the curtains of my room. I locked my door and my whole room is now dark and silent. I an hear the noise of a needle if I ever drop one. But it is not uncomfortable. It is very cozy that it lulled me to sleep. Wishing this feeling to disappear, I let my consciousness wander in the darkness.
