Start reading! :D

"T-t-that's….!" the look on the face of Masako was the look of someone that saw a corpse.

What a horrid thing! How could that be? This is my first time seeing a person like that. How could they stay at this house, with that person here? My goodness!

She hurriedly went inside, ignored everything around her and knocked hardly on the door. After a few moments, Shirataki came and open the door for her. He was very surprised to see Masako in that state.

"Are you Hara Masako-sama? I assume that you are quite tired from the travel. Please come inside to take some rest. Do call me Shirataki, I am to be at your service." Calmly said by Shirataki, this provided her some relief and she quickly came inside as she was lead carefully by him. He offered her some tea to calm her down, he was aware that there was really something wrong with her.

"Hara-sama, did something happen?" Shirataki asked.

What's wrong with Hara-sama? Did she saw something? But, if she did, what could it have been? Seeing her like this, it's got to be something bad. It's better to call the others, but I can't leave her here like that.

"Excuse me, Hara-sama? Can you come with me for a while?"

"Y-yes." She replied as if whispering.

Well, that's good to hear. We better go now.

So they went to where the others are. Masako wasn't able to walk very steady so she had to cling to Shirataki, as a gentleman, he gladly helped her. They were at the backyard garden, and Kahia was with them, they were playing a game of Shiritori; Naru and Lin were at the sides, Naru—reading the same book while Lin was looking at them. Masako and Shirataki approached them, when Masako felt an eerie feeling; she panicked quietly and didn't show to Shirataki what was happening to her. She looked back and saw the same horrid person she saw before entering the house.

Who…who is this person? Why is he looking at me like that?

She glanced at the others; she noticed that they were quite normal. She stared at Mai closely, nothing's wrong with her face, it's not the face of someone bothered about the feeling she felt. Masako was scared, while she was looking at her friends, that person still staring at her. She glanced back, and saw that the look on the face of that person was more horrid than before.

T-this, stop! Please, I don't want to see something like that. Please, I beg you. Stop staring like that. It's really scary, I don't want that, I don't want to remember seeing that!

Then suddenly, the ominous stare stopped. She looked at where that person was and noticed that he's gone. Relief came and she calmed down almost instantly. Mai and the others noticed her; they approached her happily without knowing the battle that she was having inside of her. She felt the surge of happiness especially when Naru looked at her.

"Masako! What took you so long?" a cheerful Mai asked.

"What? I came here right away after my show." She calmly replied.

"Now that we're all here, let's have some fun!" Bou-san suggested.

"True. Why not do-"

"Sorry, but can we have a serious talk first?" Masako interrupted.

This time, Naru saw the serious look of Masako and approached them. Lin followed behind.

"Hara-san, is something the matter? What's with the serious talk?" Naru asked.

"I… I just saw someone looking at me, like with a murderous intent. When I arrived, at first, I noticed that there was something kind of different in this mansion, but I couldn't describe it fully. And then when I was approaching nearer, I saw that person for the first time. I was frozen stiff; I almost could not breathe normally. I tried to compose myself then I walked fast to the door and knocked as hard as I can. And fortunately, Shirataki-san came and opened it for me. I was really relieved for that, but still, I cannot take off from my mind, that horrid look. Afterwards, it seemed like Shirataki-san noticed that and tried to calm me down, I did calm down but, that wasn't enough so he brought me here, perhaps to ease my mind more. But, honestly, I didn't expect that even after coming here, I felt the same eerie feeling that I felt before, I looked back and saw that he was there staring at me, with more intensity. I was really scared and I was screaming in my mind… I kept on screaming "Stop it" and I was really begging for that. Thankfully, after saying those, I felt that, that eerie feeling stopped and when I looked back, he was not there anymore. Really, I never imagined that you kept living with that man here for a day! And to think that I was scared witless and that when I saw you playing shiratori like some kids, I was thinking, are you insensitive? Or are you just playing dumb? How can you act normal when someone who is obviously not normal is here? Besides, I should have asked you this first, Shirataki-san, but would you mind telling me who that man was? Is he the owner of this mansion?" and Masako stopped talking waiting for the answers.

Everyone was shocked by her story. No one made a sound and the look on their faces was depicting something like "What are you talking about?" even Shirataki was surprised, he wasn't sure of how to answer Masako. Finally, Naru was the one who broke the silence.

"Hara-san, are you sure about what you are talking about?"

"What? I am sure of it. I wouldn't make a dare to make up stories. And besides, I will not gain anything from it, right?" she promptly replied.

"That's true Naru. Masako won't dare to lie and make stories like that." Mai confidently said.

"Yeah, like Mai said…" John added.

"But, Hara-sama, I never thought that you were troubled because of someone from this house. I was thinking, you were worried about something from your work." Shirataki said.

"Wait! Don't you think that there's something wrong with what we're talking about?" Yasuhara raised a question.

"Now that you pointed that out, there is something odd. I mean, Hara-san said that she saw a man looking from INSIDE the house, and if I'm not mistaken, everyone was here, and Shirataki-san was with Hara-san, so that means that there should be no one inside the house. If so, then the man that Hara-san saw was probably a spirit." Lin commented.

"Th-that's right. If so, then… that person is…" a not composed Shirataki was saying.

"Exactly. A spirit or should we say, a ghost." Naru added.

"But! We haven't felt anything at all." Ayako said.

"Wait, you're forgetting that Mai had a weird dream saying something like "go away, you're not welcome in this house." It might have a deep connection with the ghost that Hara-san saw." Bou-san told them.

"That may be true. After all, if you hear something like that, you would normally think that you're being hated or that person doesn't want or like you." John added.

"If you could pardon my opinion, it coincides with the thing that Hara-sama saw. If, that man was the person in Taniyama-san's dream, then one would normally think the reason as to why he was staring so intense to Hara-sama. Therefore, we can say that he was clearly telling something." Kahia entered the conversation.

"You have a clear point there Kahia-san." Yasuhara said.

"Then, we can clearly say that, the man Hara-sama saw is the man who said words like 'go away' in the dream of Taniyama-san. But, the thing that we are not clear about is, who is that "man", right?" Kahia said.

"And why he said that." Mai added.

This time, everyone was lost. Just who could that may be, they don't have any idea. Then, it came to someone's mind…

"Hara-san, pardon me if I ask you this, but if you can, can you describe the face of the man you saw?" Naru said without hesitation. Everyone was surprised to hear this. They don't know what he was up to but, there was a person among them who is definitely against it.

"NARU! How can you ask her of that?"Mai suddenly blurted out.

"Stupid, weren't you listening? I asked her, if she could. I wasn't forcing her to. It's up to her if she can or not." He replied to her statement.

"It's not a matter of asking, can't you be more sensitive? Besides, there's no way she can say no to you!" she answered fiercely.

"I only want to know something. Is that really that bad? If she can describe that man's face then perhaps Shirataki-san and Kahia-san may recognize the description." He answered back.

"Pardon? What do you mean by that Shibuya-sama?" asked Shirataki.

"I was thinking, that maybe it was someone from the family of Wokamino-san or his late wife." He answered.

"Is that so? Then, that makes sense, right?" Kahia said.

"Yeah. That thought didn't cross my mind though. I was surprised by the idea that you came up Naru-chan." Bou-san commented.

"That may be true. But there can also be a chance where it may not be a relative of theirs. And so, just to make sure, can you describe it to us Hara-san? Naru said.

"Of course. He did look like an old man, although about what I'm about to say are quite sensitive." Masako said.

"Is that so, then, to those who are weak at heart may leave. Then, please continue Hara-san." Naru suggested.

"Okay then. He was….."

And cut! Ohohohoho was that thrilling? Do read and review guys!

Thanks for reading. Next chapter might take quite a longer period, I think. Well, we are humans, we are born with long patience! :D

As I was making this chapter, I was tormented with a lot of obstacles: a. no internet connection to upload right away; b. my nephew kept pestering me; and lastly, there was no convenient place to encode. Ugaaaaahhhhh! Good thing, I overcame that and with all my might, I made it! Ahahaha! Applause applause! No, just kidding, that's not something you should applause for. Anyway, I made it up to the fourth chapter, I don't plan on making this long and so perhaps two or three chapter to go and this will end. Up next is Chapter 5: Conflict! Gokigenyo minna-sama! .
