Hello everyone!
So...this is gonna be my second story for the Ghost Hunt fandom.
This story is based in "Shigatsu wa kimi no uso", so you alrealdy have some insight of what's gonna happen, but even so, I hope that you like it!
CHAPTER 1
The first time Taniyama Mai saw them was when she was just 7 years old. Her parents had received 3 tickets to a concert that would take place in a big Tokyo theater, and since Mai had never seen a big live show, her parents decided it would be a good opportunity.
Furthermore, it was not always that Luella Davis and Martin Davis famous musicians from England came to Japan. Luella was a beautiful violinist, with long blond hair that seemed to dance while playing, and her husband Martin, a talented pianist who never missed a note. However, it was not the couple that charmed Mai that night, but the identical twin brothers, Oliver and Eugene.
Eugene followed in the mother's footsteps while his brother Oliver followed his father, violinist and pianist, extremely talented for 8 years old kids. Eugene Davis played smiling, and seemed to want to dance on stage following the piano tune of Oliver Davis, who despite his neutral expression, seemed to be satisfied with the sound he was able to produce.
Although the brothers were very talented, Mai was more attracted to Oliver's melody, not that she didn't like the sound of Eugene's violin, but there was something about the little pianist's music that seemed to be more ... deep.
The concert lasted two hours, but for little Taniyama, it was long enough for her to be interested in the world of music, and to beg her parents to let her learn to play the piano, because she wanted to be like Oliver Davis.
…
When she turned 12, Mai got her first cell phone. A simple smartphone where she could put her favorite songs and record videos of her playing to post in the internet.
She hugged her parents and thanked them before running to the piano and start recording one of the songs that Oliver Davis had composed. However, when she connected her cell phone to the internet, a news caught her attention.
"Big loss for the music world.
Eugene Davis, prodigy violinist, dies at the age of 13. "
Mai didn't know how many news sites she visited that day, everyone said the same thing, Eugene had been run over, and the driver fled without providing help, being stopped by the police a few blocks later. Unfortunately, the boy did not survive his injuries and died on the way to the hospital.
At the end of the day, new news came up, this time talking about the violinist's funeral. There were photos and videos posted all over the internet, but one video in particular made the girl's heart full of compassion break. The person who played the piano at Eugene's farewell was his own brother, Oliver.
Tears began to flow down Mai's pale face, because this was the first time she had seen Oliver play without his brother's company.
...
Her vision was blurred, and Mai blamed the tears. She closed her eyes for an instant, but for some reason she was unable to open them again. Mai could hear her parents calling to her desperately, but she couldn't answer. Suddenly the world was confused, she couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't speak, and her body was lying on the wooden floor of her room, and minutes ago she was sure she was leaning against the headboard.
When she managed to open her brown eyes again, she was lying on a hospital bed, her parents were at her side with tears in their eyes and expressions of relief.
That day she discovered two things.
First, she was sick.
And second, she wanted to play the violin.
…
Mai was hospitalized for a week, her doctor Matsuzaki Ayako performed several tests throughout the week, but whenever the results came out, her parents accompanied the doctor to a room down the hall to talk. It was during these moments that she took out her cell phone and watched videos of Oliver and Eugene past concerts. She refused to watch the tributes videos that some fans made to Eugene Davis.
It was that week that Mai met Hara Masako, a 12-year-old girl who fell from the tree while trying to help a kitten that didn't know how to get off the tree. Masako in addition to breaking a leg, had hit her head, which earned her a few days in the hospital.
In search of escape from boredom, the two started talking and before the end of the day, they had become friends. Two days later, Hara was released, but before she left, the girls exchanged phone numbers and promised to keep in touch with each other.
Once again Mai was alone and bored, until Takigawa Houshou, Ayako's boyfriend, entered her room while she took another exam.
The girl did not know that it was possible for a couple to argue so much about such stupid things, but even so she had had fun. Takigawa Houshou, which she nicknamed Bou-san, after discovering that he had been a monk before becoming a guitarist for a rising rock band, visited her every day until her discharge date.
…
When she returned to her home, the first thing she received from her parents was a violin. She had said while hospitalized that she would like to leave the piano to learn the other instrument, because now, she didn't want to be like Oliver Davis, she wanted to be like Eugene Davis.
Her parents did not question the reason for the sudden change, and mentally Mai thanked them, because even she would not know if she could explain it, after all it was as if something inside her said that she needed to do that.
The next day, she was already enrolled in the violin class.
Days became weeks, and weeks became months.
Mai had learned to play the violin, and her videos on the internet had multiple views.
And Oliver Davis never played the piano again. His last concert was filmed by a cell phone camera at his brother's funeral. The video had more views than it should have.
…
In the years that followed, Mai had to come and go from the hospital many times. Anemia, falls, and fainting, were the main reasons, sometimes surgery was necessary thanks to a fractured arm or leg. The amount of stitches she had received could even go into the Guinness World Records, but that never stopped her from continuing to play her violin, which was also taken to the hospital when a new admission was needed.
Taniyama Mai was known as the hospital's violinist, always running away from her bed so she could play for the children and the elderly who were hospitalized, or simply to play on the hospital's roof, where only the sky was her audience.
However, at the age of 15, her hospitalization was not due to her illness, but to a car accident, which took her parents' lives.
"They were returning from a violin performance by Mai-chan, when the truck driver fell asleep and hit the car."
"What will become of Mai-chan now? I heard that she has no living relatives."
Mai could hear the nurses commenting on her situation, she could see the pitying look that she receive from everyone. During the day she smiled and said she would be fine, but at night, alone in the darkness of the hospital room, she cried embracing the violin case which was intact after the accident.
…
When Mai was discharged from the hospital, the first thing she did was visit her parents' grave. Ayako and Hoshou had taken care of the funeral while she was hospitalized, and Mai could never thank them enough for that.
She placed the bouquet of pink carnations on the grave, synonymous of gratitude and that she would never forget them, and then took the violin out of the case, playing songs that her parents could not hear in her next performances.
So, this was the first chapter.
I just have 2 more chapters written, so probably I won't be posting regularly.
Well, Hope that you like it!
