Haunted House

The kunai struck the ninja’s leg and he stumbled to a tree. The moment he open his eyes, Shinji’s katana tip sharply stared right in front of him.

"Game over! Who sent you?!”

The ninja remained silent and they stared at each other for some time until Shinji’s stomach growled loudly.

"Fork! Already starrrving?! I will let you live, but you better keep your mouth shut!”

He turned, walked away and the ninja vanished. Shinji continued walking deeper into the woods, the wind blew softly through and leaves flew past him.

"Wanna hear some lore? Yeah Im talking to you, readers! Me too actually... Let's ask th-”

He stopped right in front of the house, seeing the door opened and close multiple times. 

"Are you that bored that you have to play with the door?”

The door slammed shut. He slowly approached it and kicked it open.

"Im home!”

The door promptly fell off its hinges.

"Landlady gonna charge me extra for this…”

He flicked on the light and froze.

"Forking piece of sheet…”

The whole house full of mess. Shattered glass, broken mirrors, overturned furniture and books scattered around.

"At least the window doesn’t bre-”

A rock flew through the window, shattering it instantly.

WHO THE FORK?!”

He rushed to the window and grabbed a shard of the broken glass. A ghost floated by the doorway, long purple hair all over its face, cascading to the floor. The ghost reached for the light switch and Shinji hurled the glass’ shard over his shoulder.

"Ahh! Wha-”

It hit the ghost’s wrist and they turned to each other.

"So you are the ghost that they been talking about huh?”
"Huh? I mean-… Hummu hummu! Im the-… Wait, you can see me?!”

His eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat.

"Aimi?! Why… Why this ghost have the same voice as her?!”

He stared at it in shock instead of fear.

"Don- dont look at me like that! You scaring me! Yo-... You can see me?!”

The ghost asked again. He breathed deeply and let out a sigh.

"Unfortunately…”
"What do you mean unfortunately?!”

The ghost snapped its finger and its appearance shifted. Its feet grew, touching the ground and its hair turned black like a normal human being.

"How about now?” 
"I told yo-”

The ghost snapped its finger again and its appearance changed back to purple hair, no feet and floating in the air.

"Now?”
"You deaf or what?! I told you already!”
"EHHHHHH?!!!”

The ghost freaked out and quickly approached him but he took a step back.

"HOWWW?!!! HOW DID YOU SEE ME IN MY SPIRIT FORM?!”
"Too close! I don’t know what you talking about but you stink! Here!”

He grabbed the ghost’s arm and forced her to take a shower.

"Eh?! What?! No! Hey!!! This is sexual harassment! Helppp! Aaaaa!!!”

He slammed the door shut.

School’s Sports Room
At 4:00 PM, Chrono entered the room and then noticed some cones in a strange position. 1 cone, beside a 20 cone stack and the third one has 9 cone stacks.

"Laju buat kerja! (That’s quick!)”

He pushed all the cones down, checking them and found a folded, hidden note.

The Haunted House
The ghost floated into the living room, naked but covered by her thick, long hair.

"Who- whose child is this?!”

Shinji tossed a dress from his bag to the ghost.

"You can use that, my mom’s dress…”
"Ahh… What else he got in there? Wait, why I have to listen to you?!”

He glanced then rummaged through his duffel bag.

"What? You wanna stay naked instead? Fine by me!”
"Aaaah I want to kill this guy! Ughh fine!”

She slipped into the dress and it fit her well.

"Thanks… I guess…” 
"Now for the finishing touch!”

He grabbed his katana out from his bag.

"HE HAS A WEAPONNN?!!!”

The ghost slowly floated back and hit the wall.

"We- we- we can talk about this HOOMAN!!! Wait, why am I-”

The ghost spaced out for a second before squeezed her eyes shut as he slashed his blade around.

"Now that’s better! You look gorge- gougu- goerg- beautiful now!”

He stepped back and lowered his katana.

"Huh?”

The ghost opened her eyes and noticed her overgrown hair neatly trimmed. The ghost then rushed to the mirror, only to find it shattered.

"Yeah, wonder who’s at fault…”
"Im sowwyyy!”

They worked together and gathered all the shards like a jigsaw puzzle.

"Why you break the mirror like an idiot?!”
"Said by someone who kicked the door like a badass!”

They looked at the mirror but only Shinji’s reflection appeared.

"GHOOOSTTT!!!!!”
"WHY YOU FREAKING OUT NOW HOOMAN?!”

The ghost switched to Human Form and couldn’t help but stare at the broken mirror.

"You sure got talent huh, hooman!”

He noticed her wrist was still bleeding. 

"Sorry bout that… Wait!”
"Hm? Oh this?”

He grabbed a pack of salt from his bag.

"Magic: Heal!”

He turned only to see the ghost cast a soft green magic glowed from her palm, surrounding the wound. Shinji was left stunned and dropped the salt.

"Wow… That’s… So pretty!”

The ghost flinched and she turned to him.

"No one ever complimented my magic before... Yo- you think so?

The wound completely healed and the ghost decast it.

"Already?! That’s so cool! How does it work? Can you teach me that!”

Her eyes widened then she looked away.

"What with this hooman? Umm… Simply speaking, our body has the ability of self-repair and what my magic does is boost the process but it’s against the law of nature for humans to have magic so I cant teach you…”

He put back the salt and his katana into the bag while the ghost stared at him.

"Takegawa Shinji! You can call me Shinji!”
"Akira… Actually Im not a ghost, Im a spirit, from Ethereal Realm…”
"The fork is that?”

He asked while sweeping the broken glasses.

"Different world, a world where demons and spirits lived… In my world, any lawbreaker especially those who learned forbidden magic will be banished into the Abbys of No Return, this world I mean…”
"Forbidden magic?”

She lowered her gaze and held her arm.

"Resurrection… A forbidden magic that goes against the law of nature… A terrifying magic that could revive the dead, with the cost of the caster’s life… I just wanna bring back my pet, Omitan but they caught me…”

He trashed the trash into the trash bin and turned to her.

"Wha? You wanna die? For that?!”

She chuckles and looks away.

Heh, I have nothing to lose, hooman!”

He kicked the upside-down furniture back up.

"Adoi… Shinji!”
"I cant use offensive magic, so everyone in my world made fun of me… Omitan is the only one who loved me… Im surprised you actually amazed by my magic…”

He threw the broken door out.

"They are idiot then!”
"Huh?”
"You have the ability to heal someone, and you don’t have the power to hurt anyone… That means you are a good person who likes to help people! I find that attractive, nothing funny bout that!”

She gazed up at him and they looked at each other.

"What with this hooman? Why he so kind to m-”
"Now get out!”

He said firmly and she blinked.

"What?”
"Get out of my house!”

She approached him and frowned.

"Haaa?! This is MY house! I lived here for a DECADE! YOU should LEAVE instead!”
"You lived here RENT-FREE for A HUNDRED YEARS?! I PAY to stay so GET OUT!”

She flinched and crashed out.

"Ahhh I wanna kill this hooman!!!”
"Listen! If you wanna stay here-”

Miraii Bridge
At 5:30 AM, Shinji walked beneath the bridge, along with Akira, floating behind him, carrying his duffel bag.

"I cant believe I agreed to this!”
