"Hikaru, are you sure this is alright?" Akari asked, looking around in Hikaru's grandfather's attic. You see, he had recently gotten his allowance taken away because of his poor grades so he was looking for something in the attic to sell. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't having much look.

"Yeah it's fine!" Hikari opened a box, glanced at what was in it, and then shoved it aside. "I need something quick! Why did my parents have to take away my allowance!? Sure, I bombed a Social Studies test but I'll get better, probably!"

"What are you guys doing up there?" Hikaru's grandfather called.

"Nothing!" Replied Hikaru.

"Be careful!"

"We know!"

Hikaru opened up another box and found a small, stick-like figure with a ball at the end. He dusted it off, and it appeared to be…a microphone?

"That's not going to make you much money!" Akari said.

Hikaru dusted it off some more, and noticed some glitter that was smudged on the handle.

"I can't get this glitter off!" Hikaru whined. "Akari, can get a wet paper towel or something?"

"What glitter?" Akari asked, peering at the microphone.

"These!" Hikaru pointed at the glitter.

"I don't see anything!"

"You can see the glitter?" An extremely deep voice asked.

"Yes!" Hikaru said, rubbing some more at the little sparkles.

"You can hear my voice?" The voice asked.

"Who are you?"

"Hikaru! Stop playing games! This isn't funny!" Akari snapped.

"You can hear me?" The voice repeated.

"Yes I can hear you! Where are you?"

"STOP IT! I'm leaving!" Not being able to take it anymore, Akari stood up and climbed down the steps. Hikaru whirled around multiple times, looking for the person who had been speaking previously. Finally, next to the microphone, he came face-to-face with a man he had never seen before. The man had long, blackish-purple hair that was tied in a loose ponytail with a bow at the end. He was wearing a sparkly t-shirt covered in pink sequins, leopard-print skinny jeans, and dirty neon red sneakers.

"Grandpa? Is that you?" Hikari asked in amazement, rubbing at his eyes. "Why are you dressed like that?"

"You can see me too?" Asked the man, his mouth wide open in an "O" shape.

"Tell me who you are now or…I-I'll call the police!" Hikaru threatened, slowly backing away from the man with his hands in the air attempting to defend him.

The man's lips curved into a gleeful smile. "Oh my! You really can see me!" He skipped in a circle giggling and clapping like a little girl. He looked at Hikaru, who had a "WTF" look on his face and chuckled. "Oh, please do forgive me! Where are my manners? My name is Fujiwara no Sai. About a decade ago, I helped the singer Britney Spears practice her songs and rise to fame. She was quite a good singer, and we got along very well. Then she said that she didn't need me anymore, so I got super-duper depressed because I wanted to keep helping her. I recovered quickly enough, though, and started singing here in Japan. I was at the top of the charts, but I became addicted to drugs and alcohol and I got depressed all over again…and my songs started to kind of…uh… I was making one of my shirts, I accidentally spilled some glitter-glue onto one of my microphones. So that's how the glitter got on there! And, er…a little after that, a whole bunch of people made up nasty rumors about me. So I headed off to live at the mountains. It was springtime, so the snow was melting. I was at the top of a cliff, and I was about to walk back to my mountain house, but it was slippery and I fell off and went plunging into the water. I probably would have made it but there was a sharp rock, and I flew headfirst into it and obviously died. But I wanted to sing more! So my spirit haunted my glitter stained microphone I used that I sold at the goodwill because I haven't obtained the Voice of God, and your grandfather bought it. So that's why I'm here!" Sai bowed and waved his manicured fingertips in the air.

Hikaru, unable to take all of this information at once, stared at Sai for about a minute when he suddenly collapsed.

"NO! DON'T DIE MYSTERIOUS BOY WHO HAS RIDICULOUS LOOKING BLONDE BANGS! I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS?" Sai wailed.

His grandparents heard the crashing noise, and called the ambulance immediately.
