***Chapter four-My Spanish Ghost***


I almost screamed. Almost. Hey, I'm not one of those bimbo cheerleaders that can only fit a peanut in their skulls and scream when they see a fly heading their way, scared it will land on their hair. Come on!! I talk to ghost, go to graveyards as afternoon walks, roam the streets during the night, and you think I would scream because some dude, er--ghost, comes face to face with me?? Okay, so he kinda scared me, but it was my first day at my new house, I wasn't waiting to be 'attacked' by them so soon.


So anyway, after I was done looking at the beautiful ocean view, and bumps into Mr. Scary, he vanishes. Really. Just like that, poof! Really creepy. And so, I'm there, standing like an idiot, staring at the place where it once stood a ghost. So when I was finally over myself gapping at the floor and convinced myself it was just because I was stressed and tired about ghosts freaking me out, I walk towards my bed for a nice sleep....


Oh great, Mr. Creepy decided to drop by, and is now lying on my bed. On MY bed. Okay, this made me burn, really. I mean, they haunt me since who knows when, they don't know what the word 'privacy' means, coming in and out of my life as they please, and now a snobby ghost is laying on my, MY bed, can you believe this? I know, I know, it's not like I have already slept there or anything, but it's MY bed, a private place...the nerve of that ghost. And I replied with every right. "What the hell are you doing on my bed?  Who do you think you are?? OUT!!!!"

 Did I mention I could get physical with them? Yupe. But I try to avoid this as much as possible; it's not like I WANT to touch them, if you get my drift. For me, they're like any other human being; well, except for that certain glow...and slightly cold…but apart from that, they're normal. Well, as normal as a dead looking human can get. I only use physical contact when it's necessary, when bad ghosts needs butt kicking to make my point. And I wasn't about to use kick this guy—ghost's ass until he got on my nerves.


"Ah, so you can speak. I was worried for a minute, thought the cat got your tongue or something, mediator," Said the ghost with evident bitterness as he looked at me with cold eyes.


Okay, can I just tell you how that freaked me out? A lot. Really, I mean, the guy—er, ghost, KNOWS I'm a mediator, which, no one has ever, EVER figured out. And he's like, lying down calmly, looking at me with a kind of angry expression. No questions, no panic, no confused looks.... just there....


Freaky.


And if that's not enough, the ghost is damn hot. Hey!  Even though I'm a mediator and a complete reject in our society as we know it, I'm a girl. A teenage girl. And I can tell when a guy is hot. And this one is definitely a hottie. Not to mention the six packs he has, which, of course, I haven't noticed. And did I say how beautiful his eyes are? Deep reddish brow—wait! What am I thinking???? This is a ghost I'm talking about!! Not Brad Pitt, or Ben Afleck. It's a damn ghost!! A dead person who is here on earth to torture me by pouring down their sapping life and problems on my shoulders. How wonderful. But anyway, he was there lying on my bed as if there was no problem at all. It's just him, a rude, stuck up, arrogant ghost, (I could just go on and on) and me, a mediator and a sunny Friday afternoon with a beautiful sun set behind us, what is wrong with this picture?


"How...how??? How do you know I'm a mediator?" came my curiosity, already forgetting he was still lying on MY bed.


"My dear Hitomi, I know a lot of things," Said the ghost.


"How do you know my name?" I demanded. This guy is just too freaky, "and don't call me dear!"


"Isn't that what that woman called you? I believe she's your mother, no?" Said Mr. Scary with a smirk plastered across his face.


"So you were listening---"


"I'm warning you. Stay away from me; don't try to take me to the after life. I don't need your help and I don't want to go there, do you hear me? If you cherish your life, I suggest for you to stay out of my business, am I clear?" demanded Mr. Scary as he looked dangerously serious at me. Me? Follow orders from a ghost? In his dreams.


"I'm not afraid of you. But if you stay away from me, I won't bother you. It's not like I want to chase after you." I replied coolly. There's something about this ghost that scares me.... something in common? I have no idea.


"Alright, but keep your promise, Miss Kanzaki. It was much harder for the others." He said with unreadable eyes.


'There are others mediators?" I couldn't believe my ears, I'm not alone!!


"Why, of course. What did you think? That you would take care of all ghosts in the world? Don't make me laugh. But they aren't here anymore." He replied smirking, thinking how naïve this girl is.


"Oh? What happened to them?" I asked innocently, I'm not alone.

"They're dead." He responded monotonously.


At this, I sucked on my breath and froze, did he...did he kill them? I couldn't dare ask him that!!


"So, do we have an agreement, Miss Kanzaki?" Asked the rude ghost with the hot six packs.


"Um.... yes, Mr...?" I asked calmly, trying not to show my fright-no, suspicion.


"LORD VAN!!!!!!!!!!!" came a booming voice. Before I could yell at the intruder, I saw a flash of pink mob and a loud thump. As I turned my eyes where the ghost, or, should I say lord Van stood, there, lying on top of him was a strange girl...very similar to a cat...? Things are just getting weirder and weirder...


"Lord Van!! I'm so glad I've found you!" Said the hysterical cat girl as she strangled Van.


"Yeah, it's nice to see you too, Merle." Said Van, with a much nicer tone, this shocked me beyond believe.


"Um, what's happening here?" Hey, if they were in my room, I have to keep informed.


"Merle, this is Hitomi." Gestured Van tiredly.


"Oh, I see.... so this is one of the pitiful humans that came to live here, Lord Van?" Asked Merle, as she hissed while shooting daggers at me. Seriously, this girl got some issues.


"Yes, Merle." Said Van, somewhat exasperated.


"Uh...excuse me, but...why does she have a tail and cat ears?" I asked curiously as Merle purred loudly beside Van...this was all too weird.


"Ah, I knew you would ask that sometime," Said Van arrogantly, "She was a cat in her past life."


"A...a cat?" I couldn't believe my ears.


"Yes, can't you hear me?" Snapped Van rudely.


"Hey, watch your tone." This guy was really getting on my nerves now, maybe physical contact wouldn't be so bad.


"She's a really feisty one, isn't she, lord Van?" Said Merle while giving a sideways glance at me.


"That's how the ladies of the present are acting, Merle." Said Van as bored to death. Let me help end your misery.


"But how come she has the body of a human? Taking the tail and long ears." I wondered out loud.


"Don't you know anything? Really, you're not impressing me, Miss Kanzaki." Paused Van to smirk at me. I felt like shredding him to pieces at the very moment.the nerve."After any living thing dies, they can be anything. In Merle's case, she wanted to become a human, but there are still characteristics from her former life." Explained Van smartly.


"Well, I'm sorry Mr.-I-know-everything. I have never seen a half cat girl before!" just a little bit more and I would explode.


"Look, about our treaty, can you start by leaving? This is my room, and I REALLY want to change and.just not be disturbed by the un-dead. Get the drift? I'll make sure to keep mine." I said tiredly, was it me or was the room too hot?


"Me, leave?" Van had a very amused expression written across his face, "Why should I leave when I've been here for the last two and a half centuries?"
