Suki's Surprise
I was inspired to write this story after reading 'Haunted' by hikosmymanfriend, some things are very similar, and I have permission to use these ideas from hikosmymanfriend. I am not copywriting.
I also do not own RuroKen or any of its characters.

Chapter 1: The Bracelet
Suki sighed as she finished unpacking. "Well, that should be everything… Now what am I supposed to do?" It had been a week since her 22nd birthday, and she'd finally saved up enough to move out of her parent's home. But things weren't going as planned. She'd always liked the idea of living in her own house, and it was a nice house, two stories with the bedroom on the second floor. So much room… Too much room. Since she'd moved to Kyoto she'd been pretty much alone, her parents had visited once soon after she'd arrived, but since then… "Enough complaining! I need to do something to take my mind of this!!"… "I know! I'll go shopping!" Yes, shopping, if there was one thing Suki liked it was shopping, and the thought of all those stores she'd never been to… "Hee, hee, hee, hee! Maybe I can get a job somewhere too!" and with that she grabbed the keys to her car and drove to the nearest shopping center.
Suki noticed a strange shop out of the corner of her eye… " 'Maya's Magic shop' that sounds interesting, maybe I should check it out." Suki went into the shop and noticed a strange bracelet; it had a silver chain, and a mysterious blue stone hanging on it. 'A sapphire maybe?' She reached out to pick it up.
"Do you like it?"
"EEEK!" Suki shrieked, "I-I'm sorry! I didn't see you there!" She said rather timidly to the older woman now standing in front of her.
"You can have it if you want." Said the old woman in a slightly deceptive tone.
"Umm, you mean… Free? Really I can pay…" said Suki, a bit confused by all this.
"Oh, but I insist. It's a good luck charm it'll make your dreams come true." The old woman was smiling eerily, as she handed something else to Suki. "I'll give you this too, it will ward of ghosts."
"Huh? It's just a box and… why won't it open!?" Suki exclaimed.
"No-one knows what's inside, the key was never found… but a magical force emanates from it, I can sense these things. It will protect you from harm." Said the old woman, who seemed disturbingly happy about giving these things away.
"…I guess I could use some good luck… It couldn't hurt." So Suki took the box from the old woman, and went on with her shopping spree.
That evening when Suki finally got home she was happy, and tired, for she had found a job as a waitress in a restaurant not far away. She would start working tomorrow. "…I'll take a quick shower, then go to bed." She yawned, then put the box and bracelet on the coffee table and walked off. She was halfway up the stairs when she heard a loud
-THUMP-
She walked back to the table only to find the box on the floor.
"But…How? What could have caused this to fall?" Suki wondered as she put it back on the table, but as she turned around she realized someone was standing there.
"What the!? How'd you get in my house!? And who are you!?" Suki tried to shove him away but…
"EEEK!! " She exclaimed as her hands went through him.
"Y-You!? Are you-" Suki was interrupted before she could finish.
"A ghost? Yes, as for why I'm here…I don't really know…" said the stranger in a slightly depressing way…
"G-Get outta my house you stupid ghost!!" Suki yelled as she pointed to the door.
The ghost tried to leave, but to his surprise was thrown back in by an unknown force…
"Why can't you leave!? I don't want a stupid ghost living with me!!"
…
"I'd appreciate it if you'd stop yelling at me, and my name's Tsunan…not stupid ghost…I'd also appreciate you calling me by my name…" Tsunan said in an increasingly depressing tone…
End of Chapter 1
Authors Notes: The story might be easier to understand if you know a little more about Suki. She is 22 years old, has long, dark reddish-brown hair, which she usually has tied up in a ribbon (like Kaoru), has purple-blue eyes, and is a little shorter than Tsunan. Personality-wise she is almost opposite of Tsunan, she's like Misao but not quite as Happy-Go-Lucky.(She has Misao's temper though, heh heh heh heh)
Well? How was it? This is my first attempt at writing anything other than a school report (which I'm usually no good at). If you see any way you think I could improve my story I'm open to suggestions. And constructive criticism too! Please review, it would make me happy to know someone's reading this!
Sorry that this chapter is so short, it was two pages front to back on paper. I'll make sure to make the next chapters longer.
