A/N: I got a FictionPress account! I've only got one poem there right now, but whatever. It's the same name as this account.

Len opened the door of his house and sat down to start on his homework. Behind him, he heard a the padding of footsteps. When he turned around, he saw Oliver, still in his pajamas, rubbing his eyes.

"Hi, Len…" Oliver said sleepily.

Len laughed. "Have you been sleeping all day?"

"Well…yes."

"Then you haven't eaten yet. Let me go make you something."

Oliver sat down at the table and stared blankly at Len's homework. "Len, is it true that you notice a lot of irrelevant things the day you die?"

"I wouldn't know. Why do you ask?"

"I had a dream that my soul was going to be sold today. It was pretty scary," Oliver said.

Len put a sandwich in Oliver's hands. "That was a dream, silly. Now, eat up."

Oliver stared at the sandwich. "I just thought that the sun was really bright today, and the sky was really blue and this sandwich is really soft." He smiled. "And I thought that Len was really nice to let me stay at his house."

Len blushed. "Oh, um, thank you. It's nice to have you around."

Oliver grinned at Len. "I wanted to thank Len for his kindness. But, today, I learned that I didn't have the time to."

"What are you talking about?"

Oliver stood up and hugged Len. "Thank you so much for everything Len. Goodbye."

Silver took the contract from Rin. "Okay, that's done."

"Won't people find it strange if two people just disappeared?"

Silver laughed. "That's the best part. No one remembers anything about the people who disappear,only the one who signs the contract and those who are making direct contact with them when they disappear."

"Oh, okay then. So can I go back now?"

Silver sighed. "You are so impatient. I need to go retrieve the other Rin first, so sit there and wait."

Rin sat back and watched the sand trickle down the hourglass and thought about Silver's question again.

"Do you really value your life so much that you'd give sacrifice two people just to live?"

"Do I…value my life? No, I don't, but Len does and he's all that matters. Right?" Rin sifted the sand through her fingers.

"But we had a contract! I gave 8 years and you let me have my body back! Why do I have to go back to that stupid hourglass!"

Rin snapped awake. I fell asleep?

She barely had enough time to think that before she found herself back in her body. On Mikuo's back.

"WAH! Let me down, let me down!"

Mikuo looked at her, surprised. "What-um, okay."

"What the heck are you doing?" Rin asked when she was back on the ground.

"Um, giving you a piggyback ride, like you wanted." He flashed a smile. "Going back on it now?"

That stupid little Rin- "Oh, yeah, haha." Rin laughed weakly. Mikuo was giving her a strange look. "Um, ah, so…OH, my phone's ringing!" And that wasn't a lie, it was ringing.

"Hello?"

"Rin, I don't know what happened, but suddenly Oliver disappeared and-"

"Oliver? He what?" Then Rin remembered Silver's words. "I mean, who's Oliver?" How did Len still remember Oliver?

Len was silent for a minute. "You know, that kid we picked up at the grocery store a couple days ago?"

"No, I don't remember that."

"You're not playing with me, are you?"

Rin shook her head, then remembered she was on the phone. "Look, I have no idea who this Oliver character is. I should be the one asking you is you were playing with me?"

Len sighed. "Fine. What are you doing right now?"

"I'm walking home with Mikuo."

"Mikuo! Give Mikuo the phone." Rin handed the phone to him.

"Hey, Len!"

"You remember Oliver right? We found him outside the grocery store." By now, Len was sounding desperate.

"Uh, who's Oliver?"

Len was sitting at the table, with his fist clenched tightly.

"Are you sure you don't know? You two didn't plan this prank on me, right?"

"Nooo…"

Len took a deep breath. "Okay, tell Rin to come home immediately."

15 minutes later, Rin walked in the door. Mikuo had gone home.

Len ran up to her. "Okay, be completely honest. You never met a little boy with a red eye named Oliver?"

Rin didn't like lying to Len, but she didn't even blink as she said, "Nope, never heard of him. Is he your imaginary friend? Maybe you're too old to have one so he disappeared."

"This is not a time for jokes!"

"Calm down, you're overreacting about something that doesn't even exist." Rin opened the fridge. "Do we have any bread to make a sandwich?"

"A sandwich!" When Oliver disappeared, he was holding a sandwich!" Excitedly, Len went and grabbed the bag of bread. "See, two slices of bread are missing!"

Rin rolled her eyes. "Maybe you ate them. Come on, you're scaring me. If you really want to find a missing person, go ask Haku and Dell."

Len smacked his forehead. "I completely forgot! We have to go to work."

"Whaaat! Can we just skip today?"

"That's not smart. We'll get fired if we do that." Len dragged Rin out of the house and started walking to the detective agency.

A/N: Gumi's gone too, by the way. It's just that no one remembers her anymore.

Gah, me too, Len. I completely forgot about Haku and Dell. Last chapter, I also forgot about Oliver and Gumi, but I had no idea what to do with them, so my brain goes "Why don't you kill them?" And my fingers said, "Great idea!" and so the plot was born. No, really.

Also, I'm going on hiatus. (I know, I'm sorry, I was gone for so long too T-T) We're moving, so it'll take awhile before I can update again. I'm so sorry RPR! I even promised to update more to you.

Thanks for reading!
