Disclaimer: Inara and the entirety of the Firefly-verse belongs to Joss. FOX Broadcasting Company and Universal have some claim to them, too, since they're the ones that brought Firefly and Serenity to the public. I love writing about them, but I don't claim to have any ownership of the characters contained in the following fiction. I do, however, own the fiction and any use of plagiarism will endanger your life. The lyrics that precede the story are from Alison Krauss's "Ghost in this House", which is also where I got the title of this fic from.
Author's Notes: Written for the LiveJournal community 30shinyfics (prompt #30 - "ghost"). If you enjoy what you read: feel free to leave me a review or drop me a PM, but also feel free to check out my other fiction at http://xxwontsayaword.
