Okie.
This time, I really have to apologize for updating late.
It's just...
School's ending in a month, and during this month a whole lot of school related things are going to happen.
Tests, reports, and more tests.
So...
I'll be updating really late. XP
Sorry!

I also apologize for the shortness of the chapter as well. XP

New Comer
Insane murder.

Gun pointed at the back of my head.

Going to die.

Damn…

Whee! You are so cute when you talk to yourself!

I groaned.

Oh my god. My conscience is talking to me.

Yesh, yesh. I am your conscience.

Oh whatever. My conscience was never any help.

Hey! I'm a great help! I always help y-

Shut up already.

…

Whew. Now that small, useless conversation was over, I returned to the matter at hand.

"What's the matter girly? Scared?" The voice purred, the metal thing making circles on the back of my neck.

Okay.

I'm going to punch the guy in the face.

Yes.

"Get ready to see the light girly."

My god, he scares me.

Wait.

No time to waste.

As quick as I could possibly go, I grabbed the metal thing, and twisted it around. Then, using my other hand, I formed a fist, and rammed it into the guy's face.

Crunch.

Oh shit.

That was the sound of my hand caught in the other guy's hand.

"Nice punch, JJ!"

Whoa.

The murderer's voice suddenly changed from really low and growly male voice, to high, happy female voice.

Click.

There was only one person that could catch my punch…

Oh wait.

Anyone could catch my punch.

Fine. There was only one person with that voice; that could get away with calling me JJ, without me taking the nearest hardest object and smashing their head in.

"Shai!" I exclaimed, opening my eyes.

A pair of lively and amused forest green eyes peered at me. Giggling, Shai released her grip on my hand, and winked.

"Hey Jo. Nice to see you lose to me again."

Long black hair that reached her waist. Those green eyes that sparkled with insanity. Skinny and tall. Really sharp nails. And when I looked at her, a wolf popped into my mind.

Yep.

This was Shai.

"It's been a while, Jo." She smirked, winking, "And obviously, you need someone to help you make some new friends."

XOXOXO

"Well, if you want to know my opinion, it seems that ghost, the new one, has a really bad past or something." Shai remarked, poking at the fried chicken she ordered, and making silly faces at it.

Did I mention she could see ghosts as well?

I was talking to her about Red.

He freaked me out now, and the last time I had been freaked out by a ghost was…

Well, it was like, a week ago. I had seen a ghost on the plane, she died when her plan she was taking to see her boyfriend, crashed.

I couldn't help her, since the plane was crowded, so I couldn't say anything to her.

But she freaked me out.

Anyway…

"Okay, well. I can handle the bad past thing. But what about the lizard like thing?" I asked, shuddering as I remembered the blue eyes, opened wide, and the mouth that was curved up in a sneer filled with pain or something along those lines.

There was a silence from Shai, which is surprising, since she is almost never silent.

I could hear other people's conversations, which were boring. I could hear frying and sizzling coming from the chicken.

I toyed around with the straw that was stuck in my coke, and took a couple of sips, getting really uncomfortable since Shai was really silent.

"Do you believe in demons?" Shai piped up.

Finally.

She talked.

"Oh no, not that question." I groaned, hitting my head on the table.

"Come on Jo! Do you or do you not?" She whined, quite loudly.

I took a deep breath, and sat up, ignoring people's stares. "Shai, do you remember what happened last time you asked that question?"

She made a huffing noise, and replied, "I beat you up."

"By?"

"Punching you in the stomach."

"And then?"

"I got you in trouble."

"And how did you do that?"

"I broke one of your father's priceless vases."

"And what happened after that?"

"…"

"Well?"

"I… Tore up your bedroom, and kicked your ass again."

"Good. So now, I won't answer that question of yours." I said, crossing my arms and pretending to be really serious.

Shai stuck her tongue out at me, and crossed her arms as well.

This was going to be fun.

XOXOXO

"It's the Forbidden Child!" A woman hissed, drawing herself away from a small boy that crouched on the floor.

The small boy's eyes narrowed, as he stood up and drew out a sword.

And without warning, the woman fell to the ground, a slash starting from her forehead to her stomach covering her once woundless body.

Blood stained the floor.

The boy walked away.

His cloak fluttering in the slight wind that picked up.

Screams could be heard from behind him.

Then…

He ran.

And the wind ran along with him.

XOXOXO

I sat up on my bed, breathing heavily.

Not another nightmare slash memory that wasn't mine like that.

This had to stop.

Looking up from my bed, I cast a look towards the corner, where I could feel a ghost there.

It was Red.

His eyes were purple again.

A second later, the purple slowly started to just, seep, out of his eyes.

And his eyes were a red color again.

He looked up at me, his eyes narrowing into a half glare, half wonderment look.

Straightening up, he crossed his arms, and stared at me.

I looked away from him.

It had been two days since I had the first memory that wasn't mine.

I haven't talked to Red since.

But every night, he was… you know. In the corner of my room.

Just…

Watching me.

I looked up again, to see if he was still watching me.

And well…

He was.

I quickly looked away, once more, feeling kind of… uncomfortable and very self-conscious.

Shai couldn't see him.

Which was the weird thing.

Yesterday I made her sleepover.

And in the night, I pointed him out to her.

But she couldn't see him.

It was weird.

While she can see ghosts and all, but she couldn't see Red.

I can remember what she said to me clearly.

"Are you sure you're not going crazy Jo?"

Yes. I'm sure I'm not going crazy.

So what if I can see ghosts, and my conscience is an annoying voice in my head.

But I'm not crazy.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

I was shook out of my thoughts, when I heard some banging on the front door.

Twitching with annoyance I jumped out of bed, and ran out of the room, preparing to give the person at my door a real ass kicking for coming to my house so late.

I reached the front door in seconds, and opened it with a bang.

"Hiei!" The person at the door called into my house, ignoring me for some reason.

Hiei….

It sounds so familiar…

God damn short term memory…

"What the hell, do you think you're doing?" I sneered at the person in front of me, glaring daggers.

Wait…

The person in front of me looks familiar as well…

Hei Huo
