His name was Taro. He had brown short hair, and gleaming yellow eyes. He had a baby face, though he was 18. His personality was that most of a responsible person, one who is the type who is a busy body.
   Taro had just moved into a new house out by the forest and a couple of blocks away from the city. It was big and dark, but when the sun rose, the tree's seemed to move out of the houses' way and let the light soak it completely. This house also had a great lake view from the back.
           
             "That's the last box." Taro said, wiping the sweat off his forehead. He looked around the living room he was standing in. It was empty and big, the only thing filling it up were boxes that contained the items Taro was going to be putting away for at least 5 days. "This is going to take forever to do all by myself." He frowned at all the boxes. Taro sighed as he first unpacked the box labeled food within the kitchen. He took a pack of udon noodles in his hand as his stomach roared. Taro got up and started cooking the noodles, so he would have his dinner then continue on his work.

            After unpacking all the food Taro unpacked the supplies needed for the bathroom to go take a bath.
            "Nice house--pretty big, but it's nice. Looks kind of creepy when you see it from the outside though." Taro said to himself, trying to make conversations so he didnt get lonely. Taro had a serious face as he held his chin in his hand. "Let's see... Raku said the place had some unbelievable hauntings, chased every person out of the house that has lived here." He thought more then laid back in the water with a sigh. "That would be nice though, this place seems so dull I dont think I can stand it."
             The lights in the bathroom flickered as almost as a threat to go out. Taro looked at the lights. "Shortage of power maybe? I'll put new light bulbs in tomorrow after work I guess. He dunk his head underwater before getting out and wrapping himself up in a towel. Taro wiped up the floor of bathwater before brushing his teeth and going to his room to put clothing on.

             Taro had already laid out his pajamas before getting into the bath. He hurriedly got out of the towel and got dressed. "First thing's first, I have work tomorrow, then come home and start to unpack." Taro quietly tried to sleep. He rotated in his futon before rolling back to his back and opening his eyes in frustration. "Why the hell cant I get to sleep? What's this stupid feeling like something horrible is going to happen keeps punching me in the stomach." He tried to ignore it by rolling his head to the left with his eyes closed.

             Someone sat on a chair in the corner. She just sat there, staring at the sleeping Taro. Her eyes had no life in them, her skin was white, and her hair was long and light blond. She had a sort of white nightgown on, and wore a black ribbon on her head. Her eyes looked as if they would be blue, but they were dark and dull. She only sat there and stared at Taro.

             Taro lifted his eyes at the sudden feeling of being watched and stared at the girl for a good minute before freaking out and jumping out of the futon to his feet. But as he did so, the girl had seemed to disappear. There was no one left in the room except Taro. "H-hello?!" Taro called out, still on guard for anything to come his way. "Miss? Is anyone there?" No response to his calls. Taro sat back down, his heart still pumping. "Could it be--that ghost?"
