Prologue

Please, just listen to me for a second, okay?
Before you go around saying im some sort of lunatic, I want you to listen, because if anyone is crazy, its no doubt my neighbors.
... Alright, I admit that that sounds weird, but its true!
They're like... creepy... and really dumb, actually.

Anywho, they've replaced my old neighbor (who by the way was really boring to talk to, but made amazing chocolate chip cookies.. i'll miss her...) and suddenly everyone forgot about her!
Apparently the house beside mine was always for sale (which it wasnt) and finally someone bought it.
... No, thats not what happened.

The real story is that one night the old lady living next door randomly disappeared, and the next day a new family took her place.
Just like that, no questions asked.

I didnt see a single moving van, and I know for a fact that there hadnt been a 'For Sale' sign on the lawn!

My name is Neru Akita, and I know that I sound like a massive stalker who watches her old lady neighbor, but...
actually, if you're thinking that I stalk old ladies then you're the freak, not me!
Anyway, im sure my mom thinks im crazy... she probably always has, though, so thats not really an issue.
My dad... he hasnt been home in like... four, five months?
He doesnt even know about it, so he doesnt matter.

Whatever, back to the neighbors.
First, there's the twins.
I mean... either they're twins, or they're a year apart and look exactly like eachother, whatever.
When I first met them they were beyond stupid, and dont get me wrong, they still are.
Rin, the girl, freaks me out the most because she's probably the most fragile looking girl I know, and yet the scariest.
Really, if you saw her, you'd be running.
Its not that she looks scary, but theres just something about her that is, you know what I mean?
... No... you probably dont.

And then there's Len, the boy.
Personally I think he has more manners then his sister, but they're like... old fashioned manners.
Too gentlemanly... if thats a word, I dont know.
And just like Rin, theres something about him that sends chills down my spine every now and then.
They're both pretty freaky, to be honest.

I'd include their parents in this, but I havent seen them or even met them.
Thats another thing I find weird... do they just stay inside their house all day?
Maybe they work from home...

I've wanted to tell Miku (she's the closest thing I have to a friend...) but I doubt she'll listen.
If I tell my mom what I think then she'll send me to the counselor again, thats not something I want to do.
So that leaves no one.
The only two people in the world who wont punch me in the face if I talk to them are completely out of question when it comes to this one stupid thing.
Fanfuckingtastic.
