There was an abandoned house a place where teens would go and dare those who were either brave enough or foolish enough to take that chance. One would not think any different of the house other than the supposed rumors that lay around or the words that spewed from the mouths of old crazy people. For if anyone were to go inside the house they would disturb the dormant wraith that would kill anyone that wandered into it's house. But that story has been told many a time. No here is the story about the half ghost that had managed to show the truth behind the awful creature that had called itself the Grudge.
The house looked no worse for ware considering the approximate time it was first built if anything I would think that it would have collapsed by now. "Hello anyone in there?" A small shift near the window gave me a small warning that I was being watched. "I know something is in there show yourself so that I may help." Another shift near the window but this time it was down stairs along with a slight hiss of a cat. "Here little kitty I'm not going to hurt you." 'much anyway' Another hiss let out from behind me before I was shoved to the ground. "Damn cats always giving me trouble." It let out a small purr of contentment. "Listen cat if you show me where your mother is maybe I could help." There was silence that was left as my answer leaving me a little annoyed. "Of course you won't answer why would you, a cat can only meow and purr as well as hiss." With that the door swung open leaving little to what the things leaving inside wanted me to do. "Fine I'll play your little game but don't think I will go down easily heck you might even be surprised by what I can manage." Adjusting the baseball cap atop of my head it let loose some of my hair before I tucked it back in. "If you lifted up my hat could you kindly not do that again I don't need my hair in my face." Taking a step in the house the smell was the first thing to be noticed. "Geez what did you put in your attic a body or something?" As if to answer the cat finally revealed itself through the image of a small very pale almost ghost like kind of white dripping with water. "Hey there cat, tell me did you just recently take a bath?" He hissed at me before turning and walking away. I knew it was kind of mean to speak of one's death especially one so tragic but hey if you kill people through the use of insanity as well as killing them the way you died then I will not hold back even to an accessory. "The son and Mother combo huh geez why do I do what I do?" Just as I got deeper into my musings I heard a rather startling and spine chilling rattle that brought me back to reality. "Oh stop will you that sound will make anyone's skin crawl." Rushing down the stairs she got right in front of my face bending her arms so they grabbed my face. "Gross...now hold still this will hurt...a lot." Grabbing her bent arms I pried them from my face and began to realign the bone while it let out audible cracks and pops. "Geez when was the last time you went to a chiropractor?" With her arms adjusted she began to try and pull herself away from me. "Hold on we need to fix your legs then your head." I grabbed her legs just as she began to scratch at the floor boards. "Stop struggling you're only making it harder on yourself." Placing one hand on her knee and one had on her ankle I did a quick jerk and twist as her rattle began to echo out but almost as if she were trying to scream. Reciprocating the actions on her other leg I jumped over her and sat down on her back. "Now all we need to do is fix your neck." Grabbing her by the lower jaw and the top of her head I twisted it to one side and it let out a loud crack. "Oh wait hang on." I twisted it the other way and it again let out a crack. "Geez this is tough." With one last twist her head was on straight and she let out a loud scream. "GAHHH!" Getting off of her she turned to me blushing and tears in her eyes. "Now then where is that, ah ha." Reaching into the shadows the pale ghost boy began to drip with water all around him struggling to break from my grasp. "Now boy if you want to stop dripping water all over the floor then stop struggling." He instead continued to struggle so I just let out a sigh. "Fine have it your way." Grabbing both of his arms I began to pull in opposite directions pulling the cat spirit and human spirit from each other before placing them on the ground. "Well you shouldn't drip quite as much but you'll still drip." The boy appeared to be on the verge of screaming out in pain while the cat just hissed at me. "You three brought it on yourselves for doing what you did don't blame me." Rubbing her legs and arms the Grudge just looked at me with a slight scowl then turned with a faint blush on her cheeks. "Well then I guess my work here is done, try not to kill anyone or else I'll come back and fix you up even more in a even more painful way." Taking my hat off to wipe the sweat off my brow my long puffy hair went out. "Great maybe I should just get a haircut instead." Walking past the three figures they stared at me with bewilderment. "W-wait!" I turned to face her and her blush began to creep up more along her face. "W-why did you help us?" Pulling on my hair some sweat dripped down. "Because I've seen ghost all my life and had recently learned that I can either be here to punish you but still help you or I can come and help you with all the good you have done." By now she understood why I was being so rough with readjusting her form. "By the way Grudge if you could tell me your real name that would be nice." She looked at me quizzically. "My name is Kayako and my son's name is Toshio." I smiled a little. "Well then just heed my warning and you won't see me around this place again unless a little something decided to try and hide in your place." With that I left leaving them alone but could also feel the house starting to alleviate in its evil and being replaced with a more peaceful kind of feel to it. "Now to deal with the girl that comes out of a well while you watch a tape...what a strange world we live in."
