"Come here, little kiddie. I'm not gonna harm you. Your mother wants me to take care of you." The horrible man said in a sweet tone. The little girl knew better than just to give in to the mysterious man. She ran up the fire exit-like staircase and stopped at the top, gasping for breath despite all the energy she used running. The man's glasses glittred in the darkness as he crept up behind her. Instead of screaming for help now, in the middle of the night, the girl continued running and fumbled for the keys in her pocket. "Paper? No. Tiny bear? No. Chocolate wrapper? No. Candy? No. Keys? Aha!" She said as she took out all the items. She quickly unlocked the door and ran in. She pushed the door shut but the murderer came in. "Oh poop!" She exclaimed and ran for it.She ran into her room and shut the door. Too late, guy found her. She grabbed he blanket and threw it to cause some sort of distraction. It was white, as white as a ghost. It caught the man by shock and gun shots were heard. The man fleed. She was happy he left the little apartment room in peace, but this was her reward for it.

"Gah!" Yusuke exclaimed as he sat up from his sleeping position. "Same old nightmare. Why don't you go and haunt Kuwabara instead?" He said. He checked the clock. 6:30. 30 minutes more before Atsuko wakes him up. Good. The last time he got that nightmare, it made him wake up at 1 in the morning. "What's wrong this time? Nightmare again?" Atsuko asked as she barged in. ":Yes! And that doesn't mean I'm still going to school!" Yusuke yelled. "If you aren't going to college, why don't you go and find yourself a job and move out?" Atsuko yelled back the stomped out of the room. Yusuke jumped out of the bed and grabbed his green school jacket. Keiko, his brown haired girlfriend, always scolded him that it should be green, but pffft, standing out is better than fitting in.

Yusuke walked out of the apartment room they stayed in and walked. He wasn't watching where he was going so he accidentally took the staircases that lead to the tenth floor. "That's funny, I'm going up instead of down. Is this new a prank for April fools?" He said. He landed in a candle lit hallway that gave of a creepy effect by it's darkness, dimly lit, and narrowness. "Creepy. This for Halloween?" He said. He continued down the hall. He came to a halt at a ghostly white door. "Ha,ha, not funny. There a Frankenstein behind this door? Or did they paint a door to this wall to make me bump it?" He muttered. He kicked it open. It banged on the wall. A teenage girl looked at him, blinking.

"What do you want?" She asked. "Oh, so they used Countess Dracula." He muttered. "Countess Dracula? Well, excuse me, but you are invading my apartment space!" She yelled. Yusuke stared at her. Average height, black hair landing around the shoulders, candy pink colored eyes and peaches and cream complexion. Then the background. A tiny tv, a couch for two, a mini chandelier on the ceiling, emitting a bright glow, and green wallpaper. Definitely a apartment space. "Sorry miss." Yusuke said. "The names Yusuke Urameshi if you ever want to sue me." He said.



"Well, then Yusuke, come in instead. It's thirty minutes early and I doubt you're gonna head straight for school." She said. "Rio's the name of your hostess today." She added. "Well, then Rio. Your apartment gives me the creeps. Anyone died in there?" Yusuke asked as he went in with her permission. She stayed deathly silent. "Well? Some one really died in here? I thought it was only my dream." Yusuke said. "What makes you say that?" She asked. The sweet voice became sour. She's mad. "Sorry. It must just be a coincidence that the little kid ran here."Yusuke said. "Well, there is a little kid before, but now, no more."Rio said. "Ryu's dead and you shouldn't even be here if you're insulting." Rio said. "Okay then. Bye!" Yusuke said as he went out.

"Jeez Louise, that boy." Rio said.
