"I-I can explain." I said as Luna then sat on her bed crossing her legs and her arms.
"Explain." She said as she looked at me as If she was mad.
"So Her name is Yi nuo? and she's a Jiangshi?" Luna asked as I nodded.
"But she's so young... How did she die?" she seemed concerned as I shrugged.
"Anyways, I'll take care of her for now." I said as she nodded.
"Aww is Harusuo her big brother now?" She said mockingly.
Harusuo.. I haven't heard that nickname in a while.
Luna gave me that nickname when we first met.
"Now Now, I gotta go do some more investigating." I said as she nodded.
I then left and headed to the records room and there Ketsu was with me.
"So Ketsu, I think I'm beginning to understand what is going on here." I said as he seemed confused.
"I need five days exactly to solve this case." I said as I then began looking through documents.
--------- Luna's Pov ----------
"Alright... It's time for me to sle- Huh?" I was about to go sleep but Noticed Yi nuo was waking up.
"Hello there little girl." I said smiling as she saw me she seemed to have hostility.
"Who are you?! Why are you in Big brother Haruki's room!" She said as she seemed ready to attack me.
"Relax. I'm... His companion, Yes his companion." She seemed to calm down after explaining.
"So You're big sister Luna?" She asked smiling as I nodded.
"Mhm You can call me that." I said smiling at her.
"Hey Yi nuo, I'm about to sleep... If you want to find Haruki he's probably roaming the hotel like a schizo talking to himself." I said as she giggled and then replied.
"Okay! Good night big sister!" She smiled as she then left.
I sighed and then laid in bed.
I closed my eyes and began drifting to sleep.
I began dreaming...
I heard a voice. Yes It belonged to someone who I knew clearly.
It belonged to my father.
"Now Luna, You'll have to stay here in the land of the dead. For you are the heir to rule this place." He said as he continued.
"I have to go do some work, You have to stay here and make sure everything is good. Okay?" Of course he didn't talk to me as his daughter but as the next heir. those were his last words to me.
It's been 3247 Years since I last seen you dad... I wonder if you're still alive or dead.
--------- End of Pov. ----------
"I guess We found all the things we need from the records room." I said as Ketsu followed behind and replied.
"Well that's great." He smiled as we continued walking.
then I heard a sound from behind me. Someone was running at me.
"Hm?" I turned around and saw Yi nuo.
"Oh hey there Yi nuo, did you sleep well?" I asked as I pat her.
She smiled and nodded.
"Yi nuo slept comfortably!" She said as I then gave her a piggyback ride.
"Yi nuo wants to know, Is big brother Haruki looking for someone?" She asked as I nodded.
"Yeah I'm trying to find someone. That someone seemed to have died here thousands of years ago." I said
"..." Yi nuo seemed silent and looked gloomy at what I said as I then changed the subject.
"You know... Yi nuo... I can't help but wonder what your life was like before you died?" I asked her again as she once again remained silent.
"Sir I think she hates those questions." Ketsu said as I replied to him.
"Well I was just curious." As Yi nuo then said "Who are you talking to big brother?" As I replied.
"Just some ghost." I said smiling at her as I continued walking.
Hmm... This was strange... The hallway seemed to keep going and not end..
Were we trapped in a loop?
"This hotel is cursed." I said as Yi nuo's eyes widened.
"Someone put a curse using this Talisman." I said pulling out the Talisman that resembled the one on Yi nuo's head.
"..." She was more silent.
I had already known the truth behind the mystery of this Hotel.
What was going on here was all because of this curse...
Yi nuo cursed the hotel.
"Yi nuo." I said as I gently let her go from my back.
"I..." She wanted to say something but couldn't.
"I know what you did Yi nuo." I said as I then smiled at her trying to give her a sense of comfort.
"I'm not mad or anything Yi nuo. I just want you to remove the curse." she then replied.
"I can't! If Yi nuo removes the curse then... Yi nuo will be alone..." She said as I hugged her.
"It's okay Yi nuo. You're not alone anymore." I said as she began tearing up.
"Big Brother....." She hugged me as she cried.
I caressed her back letting her know everything was going to be okay, That I was here for her. That she didn't have to be alone anymore.
"I'm scared." She said as she cried.
I looked at her face and saw those tears and wiped them for her.
"There's no reason for you to be scared." I said as she then looked at me her face in tears.
"Yi nuo. I'll ask you once more, Can you please remove the curse?" i asked as she nodded as she hugged me.
"Yi nuo will do it but... she has to pay the price for the curse..." She said as I seemed confused.
"What?" as she then said the following.
"Yi nuo will have to disappear to remove the curse." She stood up and looked at me one final look as her hands began moving to the Talisman on her head.
"Wait Yi nuo! No!" I screamed as my eyes widened.
"Although Yi nuo did not know Big brother Haruki for a long time... he was still kind to Yi nuo." She said as she began tearing up.
Her hand grabbed the talisman on her head.
"Please don't do this!" I said as She then smiled.
"Goodbye." As she began removing it from her head.
"Yi nuo!" I shouted as suddenly a beam of light was in front of me as I closed my eyes because I couldn't see anything.
I slowly opened my eyes after the beam disappeared.
Yi nuo was nowhere to be seen.
"Ketsu?" I called out to Ketsu but no response was heard.
Were the ghosts really gone now?
Yi nuo was the cause of the ghosts... but by removing the curse she had to die...
I walked to where Yi nuo last stood and noticed a piece of paper with writing on it.
"Dear big brother Haruki. Yi nuo hopes you read this message and know that big brother Haruki was Yi nuo's savior. You comforted me and made me food.. and treated Yi nuo as human. If i had one selfish wish.. It would be that I get to see you again Big Brother. And for me to be by your side. Yi nuo did not want to die... I wanted to accompany big brother. Yi nuo really is selfish... she wants to see you again. Yi nuo's name means one promise. Just like what we shared together big brother. A promise. That promise wasn't kept... and it's all because Yi nuo died. I want to make a wish Big Brother. I want to be with big brother until the end."
