She stared silently, watching out the window of the plane as she flew. The girl was American, as you could tell from her pale skin. Her eye's were gently rounded. They were the dark green color of leaves, and around the rim was what looked like a violet color. It was odd, but she much liked her eye's like that, just like she liked her hair long, to her mid back and naturally black, with bangs falling in her eyes.

She yawned, and scratched her head, putting on her headphones and closing her eyes. Before she new it the hostess was shaking her. Her eye's opened."Miss, the plane has landed, please exit."She said. The girl nodded, standing up. She stood at a height of about 5"6, and she looked about 14. Grabbing her bags and taking off the headphones, she followed the rest of the passengers off the plane, and looked up with amazement ."Beautiful isn't it Ms. Mayumi?" She turned quickly to see a man standing there smiling at her."Are you Mr. Kawasaki?"She asked."I am, and you must be Shenya, am I correct?"He asked, adjusting his glasses. She nodded."Yes, sir."

"Well, it's getting late, your plane sure did take it's time. Come, we should get home."He said, and turned to walked away, tucking his hands into his pockets.

"What? Why so quickly?"Shenya asked, blinking in confusion.

"Come, before it gets dark we must get you to the orphanage." He said, and looked back, his face firm and serious. Shenya immediately obeyed, running and following after him to catch up. He was tall and took long strides, so it was hard

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

"This will be your room."Kawasaki said, opening a door to a small room. It was only a bit bigger than a large closet. A bed sat against the wall, and by it a dresser, and a closet and bathroom door, but that was it, the walls and floor were bare. She stepped in and set her bags on the floor, looking around. She had missed it, but there was a small TV on a tiny table in the corner.

"Thank you, sir."She said, taking her shoes off and laying them beside her bed on the wood floor.

"Tell me, Shenya, why were you sent here to Tokyo after what happened to your parents?" Kawasaki asked, standing at the door and looking at her.

"Well, since my father was from here, Well, I guess they had just decided to send me, that and I chose."She answered, lightly tugging at the hem of her black T-shirt.

"You chose?"His face became furious and serious yet again.

"Y-yes."

"With all the attacks that have been happening lately? Do you want to get yourself murdered to!"He yelled. Shenya looked at him, frightened by this. Her fright turned to sadness at the words, and tears formed in her eyes as memories flooded in. Kawasaki realized what a stupid thing he had said, and stepped in looking at her."Shenya, I'm sorry for the yelling. But, with everything going on here, and your parents deaths, I don't want to risk losing you either, like your mother, my sister."He said, looking at the ground.

"Well, it's alright, I'll be fine. Tell me, is that the reason you wanted to get back before dark?"She looked at him, rubbing the tears from her eyes.

"Yes. Remember, always be back before dark, ALWAYS. Promise me."He said. She nodded, and answered."Yes, I promise." After she said the he closed the door and his footsteps faded down the hall, leaving her to do what she wanted. First she unpacked her clothes and folded everything, putting it in the dresser drawers and hanging other clothes in the closet. She pulled out her music and her headphones and portable cd player and set them on top of dresser, And she yanked out her comforter, sheets and a pillow, and made the bed up. She yawned, sitting and looked out the window that was next the bed. It had gotten fairly dark, and the pale ivory moonlight and the glistening stars made her wish she was outside. The orphanage in which Kawasaki, her uncle, ran, was in the city, but it wasn't by companies or anything like that. It was actually by a forest, which was behind the large house, and infront was a small yard and then the road. She yawned, and wondered what time it was. Of course her watch couldn't tell her, it was set on American time.

She closed her eyes for a second, and could have sworn she heard skates in the hallway."Maybe one of the kids."She said to herself, and opened her eyes. She opened the door, looking out and around, and saw nothing. It was dark though, and hard to see. Shenya shrugged it off, and closed and locked her door, changing into a pair of pjs, a dark purple tank top and black baggy silk bottoms. She turned on the tv, wondering if there was cable.

"Whoa, they watch this crap?"She asked herself, lifting an eyebrow, and saw a pink dog on the screen. It said his name was Maromi. She shook her head and turned it off, and lay down on her bed, yanking the covers over herself and soon fell asleep.

That's when the dreams began. It went something like this:

The girl called and called for her parents, yelling. Soon she found them, bloody, mangled, and cut up. Some limbs missing. Their eyes stared at her, and she ran, and ran, into the darkness. Continues running, never stopping. The sound came from behind her. Skates. Closer. Closer. So close, almost behind...And then-

Shenya jumped into a sitting position, wide awake and breathing hard. She put a hand on her head, closing her eyes."What was that?"She asked herself. Her eyes slowly opened, and out of the corner of her eye she saw a shadow, maybe of a boy in his teens."Hello?"She called, and turned, and the figure stayed silent."Um, it's past time to go to bed, I think you should go back to your room or-"She jumped as he went to the door, and as if by magic, faded into it. Shenya just sat there, completely dumbfounded.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night at dinner, Shenya confronted her uncle."Um, is there any chance that my room could be haunted?"She asked. Kawasaki coughed and laughed, looking at her."Now why would you think that?"He asked. "Well, last night, I woke up, and there was a boy, at least I think, all I saw was a shadow. Anyway, he was in my room, and I told him to go back to his room or he would get in trouble, but he walked, or floated, I think right through my door."She said, breathless and sat on a chair."You were probably having a dream." He said, wiping his mouth. Shenya shook her head."No, I had woken up from a bad dream and I was sitting on my bed."She said, shaking her head.

Kawasaki pondered for a while, then looked at her."You probably thought the boy floated through the door, when it was open and he walked out."

"No, he coulden't have even of gotten in the first place, cause my door was shut and locked."

Kawasaki shook his head."Well, it won't happen again. I can garentee."He said. Although what he said was not true. The next few nights the same thing happened, the same dream, the same floating shadow. One night Shenya got completely fed up after she awoke from the same dream, and saw the figure as it floated towards the door, and she jumped up, scrambling and turning on the light. There was nothing there."Come on you bastard, afraid of a little light!"She yelled, clenching her fists tightly.

Somthing caught her eye. Skid marks."Huh? What could have made those?"She asked herself, bending down and scraping a finger over it. Fresh. There was a tap on the window. She ignored it, but it came again, louder. She contiued to ignore it until it was a blasting crash that made her jump. She jumped onto the bed, and her eyes widened as she stared at the menacing beast. Fangs the size of her head, huge red eyes that reflected her terrified face. She couldent even scream.
