Chapter 3

Kagome thought hard as she munched on a roast beef sandwich. Something had supernatural had happened, she was sure of it now. At last, she decided that she'd go to the library to do some research on ghosts.

Quickly, she polished off the remains of her lunch, and headed to the library.

Directed by the librarian to the appropriate section, she pulled an old, dusty book off one of the upper shelves. Kagome flipped to the title page and read,

A Few Traits of Ghosts,

By Sesshomaru Lapp

Scanning the introduction and deciding that it was nothing interesting, (it was saying something about a house that he had been in had been haunted because of a murder,) she looked at the first page. It was blank except for one phrase.

Ghosts usually come out at night.

But that didn't seem to be true with this ghost. Suddenly, kagome had a terrible thought. If such a scary thing had happened during daylight, what would come out in the dark? Pushing that nightmarish idea to the back of her head, she went on to the next page. This one, too, was nearly empty.

Ghosts usually stay with a place or thing that was important to them, often because of unfinished business.

That could be true. It really stunk not knowing anything about the ghost. How could she find out how the person died? Kagome thought hard. At last, an idea came to her. Check the old newspapers, of course! She would have to do that after she finished reading this book.

Most ghosts are harmless.

Well, so far, my ghost is harmless, kagome thought. Unless you can count getting scared to death!

Ghosts often carry about an aura of cold around them.

She certainly hadn't felt cold!

A common trait of ghosts is a certain scent or sound, such as perfume or music.

"Definitely didn't hear any music," she said out loud. "Unless a lack of sound counts!" She flipped to the next page- and stopped. The next page was blank, and the rest of the pages ripped out.

With a sigh, she closed the book. This book wasn't very helpful. All that she had gotten out of it was that she should check the old newspapers. Idly, she wondered who had torn the book.

"Mr. Burton?" kagome said. She had been here often already for books when she was bored. "Um, where, um, can you find the old newspapers?"

"What? Oh, hi kagome, it's in the last on the left in the hallway," Mr. Monga answered absentmindedly. The old librarian had his nose stuck in one of his many shabby looking, thick volumes. Today it was, 'Why do birds fly: A book of scientific theories'.
