A.N./ New story, guys! I hope this one becomes popular among you, and that you like it! I feel excited about writing a story on ghosts and supernatural things. So, I'm going to make this little note short! Read on, dear readers!

Can't You Remember?

=Introduction=

A beautiful, peaceful city rests surrounded by beautiful scenery. Landmarks surround the little city of Starryview*, luring people in. Starryview is the world's biggest tourist attraction, but it's not just the beautiful scenery that makes this city so popular...

A dark forest stands out from the rest of the peaceful scenery. Mist seems to dance along the forest's borders, luring anyone in. Ghosts and other monsters seem to haunt these dark woods. But, how do they know? Not a single soul brave enough has ever set foot on the mysterious forest.

Of course, mysteries were meant to be solved.

And one young soul might be willing enough to do so...

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.

I kept on running, trying to get out of their field of vision.

"Hey, watch where you're going, son!"

I apologized for bumping into the man and continued running. I could hear them calling out my name, coming closer towards me.

I could see my apartment from here, and quickly put my hand in my right pocket. I finally found my key and I held it securely in my hand. Their shouts got louder, and they were coming closer. I quickly made it up the stairs and found my apartment number. I put the key into the keyhole and tried to open the door as quickly as I could.

'Come on, Come on!'

I heard a 'click' and quickly opened the door. Once I was safely inside, I immediately closed my door with the key. I looked through the little hole in the door to see they were passing right by my apartment.

I let out a sigh of relief, and just stood there reclining on the door.

I felt my phone buzz on my left pocket, and I quickly pulled it out. I didn't bother checking the caller I.D., since I already knew who it was.

"Hey Kaito."

"Hey man! How's it going? Did they follow you home?"

I sighed out of frustration and said, "Yes, they definitely followed me home. Why can't they just leave me alone?! I'm no different from other guys..."

I could sort of sense Kaito was smiling on the other end as he said, "Come on, Len! You know other guys would suicide if they could get your good looks!"

"Yeah, but why did fangirls** have to be included in the package?"

Kaito just laughed, "Well, all things come with a price, right?"

"Yes... My good looks are both a blessing and a curse..."

Kaito kept on laughing, "Yeah, whatever you say, Len. I gotta go, so I'll talk to you later. Sayonara." I heard a beep, and then I put my phone back in my pocket.

I looked at the time and quickly ran into the bathroom. I took my clothes off and took a warm shower.

After the shower, I changed into a simple yellow shirt with a banana on the front, jeans, and yellow Converse. My hair was up in my usual messy bangs and signature ponytail. I reached for my keys and my phone, then walked towards the door. Once I was outside, I locked the door and walked next door towards Mrs. Sakine's apartment.

I knocked on the wooden door and waited for her to come out. She opened the door, and quickly let me inside. She was wearing a simple, white, short-sleeved shirt, a red skirt with black leggings, and black ballerina flats.

I walked towards the kitchen and sat down in one of the chairs. I turned towards Mrs. Sakine, who was taking out a plate of food. She walked towards me with the food and set it down on the table.

"Ittadakimasu***!"

After that was said, they ate their meal.

"See you tomorrow, Mrs. Sakine."

"Make sure you wake up earlier for breakfast, and I've told you countless times, just call me Meiko!"

I shook my head while laughing and walked towards my apartment. I put the key into the keyhole, and opened the door. I quickly ran inside after closing the door with the key.

I changed into yellow pajama pants, still keeping the shirt I had on when I went to Mrs. Sakine's house. I sat on the edge of my bed, facing the window. It showed Starryview's famous dark forest, the mist still lingering around its borders. Then I ask the same question I always ask before I go to bed.

'What is the mist...?'

A.N./ So, I hope you like! Please review, and tell me what you think! Opinions are greatly appreciated! ^-^

Maybe instead of stars, I should do numbers... what do you guys think? Please tell me, so I can decide!
