Keigo Phantom
Chapter One
August first was an imported day for many, though for one it would be his last… Located in Japan. it was a quiet town, full of normal men, women, and children. People would say nothing else about it, but one couldn't help to think about something else. Karakura is a peaceful town with a legendary orange-haired punk known to beat up gangs or the booming streets and small shops that catered to the townspeople's essentials. Right now the month is August, and many youths are enjoying their day and waiting for the fireworks. One was sitting in his room. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep and staring at the screen for prolonged exposure.
Sitting on the hardwood floor, while a white blanket covered him. His hair was at our family medium length which flipped outward. He has down eyes and a slim figure. He was wearing a light yellow shirt and green shorts. The only sound of buttons being clicked and the noise from the TV filled the empty room. This young teen was a zombie on his screen. It had been ten days of playing video games. With the occasional meal and bathroom break.
This young man who was slaving away at his hobby was Keigo Asano. A young high school student enjoying his break from the long days of school.
"Yes, finally I'm almost at the final level," He said in a tired and groggy voice. His eyes soon grew out of hope at ending his fun endeavor. Kegio had been locked in this game for hours. Nothing would stop him now.
Then he was already there with one more final push and then…
Slam! The door to his room was slammed open, flushing in a blinding light. A person flys through the door, performing a high jump kick right into Keigo's back. The control flung from his hands and the screen soon flashed big red words bolded in black.
"Game over!"
Keigo cried tears of pain for his labor was in vain. He let out a suffering cry and slammed his head to the floor.
"Quit your whining Keigo," Mizuho shouted as she sat on him. Mizuho has long brown hair that she ties up in a ponytail with a purple hairpiece that keeps her bangs on both sides of her face. She has slightly thick eyebrows and brown eyes to match. She wears a white shirt with black shorts and pink stockings. This was Mizuho Asano, a student council member, and big sister to Keigo Asano. She had an annoyed expression on her face, looking down at her brother.
"What the heck are you even still doing in the dark slacker!" She yelled. Keigo didn't care and sadly looked at the screen. Even though Keigo's chest was on the ground he was more upset about the loss.
"What the heck, Mizuho you made me lost, what's wrong with you? Besides, do you know how long it took me to even get to that part?" Keigo cried in a childish plee. Mizuho rolled his eyes
"What are you talking about, you already beat this one hundred times, not to mention don't you hate this one" Mizuho braked. Still sitting on her brother's back pinning him to the ground. Keigo simply pouted on the ground.
"Whatever, what are you even doing here- OW!" Keigo couldn't finish as his sister twisted her ankle.
"I'm here making sure my loser brother doesn't waste all his time moping around in this room!" She yelled. Keigo frowned at what she said. In truth, he had been in a sad slump as of late. Mizuho didn't understand why her Brother was acting like this so she decided to harass him today to get Keigo out of his room. Keigo didn't answer back, making Mizuho worried.
"Oh come on, what's wrong with him!" She thought in anger. Then he twisted his ankle more.
"Ow!Ow!Ow! Stop, you might break something Ow!" Keigo begged as he repeatedly slammed his fist into the floor. Mizuho didn't stop and twisted his ankle again.
"Also you need to get outside You acting like a giant neet you hear me," Mizuho yelled.
"Ow Okay fine I'll go outside!" Keigo said.
"No! Not until you tell me what's happening," Mizuho said. Keigo remains awkwardly silent trying to find an answer to give her.
"Well, you see, uh, I'm very bored is all!" He panicked. It was hard for Mizuho to tell if her brother was lying or not, due to how his nervous voice and panicked voice sounded very similar. She gave a deep sigh thinking it was just her idiot brother just messing up, she let go of her brother's foot and stood up.
"Fine, just get out of the house then you idiot," She said walking out of the room. Keigo was left lying on the floor. He was staring at the ceiling, thinking about why he was so sad.
"Why are you in a funk, oh that's easy because all my friends are off doing something fun for a break. Tatsumi was competing in her martial arts tournament. Miziurio is going to Hawaii with his girlfriend. Heck, Ichigo, Chad, and Orihime are all busy. Man, why can't I ever get included in things?" Keigo thought. He slowly stood up and dusted himself off. He switched his shorts for black pants and took a deep breath, his sister did have a point.
Keigo slowly walked over to his window and opened the curtains. He gazed at the window and thought deep within himself. Usually, he would act like a class clown to make others happy but no one was around to make them happy. Sometimes he wanted to be included in a big adventure, but at the same time, what would he do?
"YOU BETTER GET OUT OF THAT ROOM OR ELSE!" Mizuho yelled from downstairs. Keigo quickly panicked, running out of the room and out of his house. The last thing he wanted to do was piss off her sister. Keigo ran like no tomorrow. He was now on the street and taking deep breaths at the quick escape he just made.
"Okay that was a close call," He said to himself. Keigo was never really much of a fighter but he could take the abuse. That was something he was even surprised by himself. He had a great threshold for pain, but that didn't mean he liked it. It was always something that bothered him. Kegio took a sigh and walked down the street. He could always be envious of his classmates but at the same time, Kegio just kept charging along. He wasn't a fighter, but he was here. That was all that mattered.
He wonders where the heck he should go or what he should do. The sky was setting into the afternoon.
He passed the local soccer fields but knew he wasn't too big into sports. He wasn't known to be an athlete. It just wasn't anything he was interested in. That was always the thing not many things interested him.
Keigo began to think deeply about what to do today. He passed a couple of game stores, he stopped and gazed at the store.
"Maybe I can get a new game," Keigo thought. That idea quickly was put down realizing nothing new was out. Taking the time to match down the street, he passed many people and thought.
"I wonder what they're up to," Keigo thought. In truth, it was something he was not involved with.
Passing some vending machines he gazed into them. He hoped to see something to crave his interest, yet nothing spoke to him. He left lost even when making a choice. Then he decided to just pick something to fix his boredom. He reached for his pockets, only to be disappointed when he forgot to bring his wallet
"Dammit, I ran out of the house, without money, great, well I can't go back to the house now, she'll kill me," Keigo thought. Then he realized if he was going to play the safe he would have to spend some time out but what would he do without any money and no phone? He judged that maybe he would be back after sunset.
"Aw, man can this day get any worse!" Keigo said in anger. He slowly trudged along sadly, his back hunched, and his face soured.
"Well, I can always watch the sunset," Keigo thought. However, with some ounce of luck, he was wearing his running shoes. So he was prepared for a long walk. Keigo walked along the sidewalk out of the suburban area and more into the hills. Keigo had a strange thought, What if something
Miraculous or life-changing what if he was picked up by a super spy or better a bunch of ninjas robbed him?
He kept walking until he was met with a bunch of construction signs and barricades blocking off the route. The sign said the road was closed due to construction. Keigo felt his eyebrow twitch. Then threw his arms in the air in a frustrated manner.
"Oh come on! How do you even close a sidewalk, this is ridiculous!" He yelled. He guessed he would have to find a different route. He glanced at the sign and ahead onto a different street. Keigo looked at the sign and found the street name to be odd.
"Uh, Treacher Street seems pretty foreign to me," Keigo thought. Not to mention he wasn't familiar with this part of town. Walking along into this part of town he felt an odd chilly breeze past him, which was strange. It should be a hot day. Walking around he noticed that the buildings around here seemed to be abandoned. Some were run down and others seemed to be caved in. A homeless man walked out of one of the buildings.
"This place is a dump," He said walking away. While the sound of black cat hissing and roaring at each other.
"Woah this place is so run down, not even the homeless live here," Keigo thought. He was starting to move deeper into this ghost town. There was a thud noise he could hear from afar. It started with a long creek and then ended with an abrupt slam.
Slam!
Slam!
Slam!
Keigo could tell he was close to it because it sounded like he was to his right.
He wonders what this whole place deal was. He kept walking along still wondering what happened to this place. Then he turned his head to see the mother of all strange places. Right before him was a three-story tall building With a giant metal some above the stone building. Tubes draping down the building sides. Large and small satellites are all over it. Wired weather instruments, hanging from the top. While the red brick looked old and dirty.
Keigo narrowed his eyes seeing a sign on the front of the building that wasn't written in kanji but in English. Keigo had taken a couple of lessons in English just in case something happened.
Though it said in bold-green letters; Fenton Works.
The front door was being pulled by the wind and slammed back closed with only one problem, it was only a light breeze today. So it made no sense to how the door slammed with so much force over and over again.
Keigo had been in this town all his life and had never seen something like this. The building felt so out of place here.
"Oh man talk about creep well better just get out of here's super creepy here," Keigo thought when taking his first step. Then out of some strange curiosity or maybe the idea of adventuring. Keigo had an abnormal epiphany.
"Uh, wait for a second, When everyone comes back to school I bet they're gonna have an awesome story when they get back," Keigo said out loud then quickly grabbed his head in pain. "Oh man, I'm gonna be the only guy in the classroom. Who just stuck around in the room all day playing video games?"
His feet quickly shuffled in a panic. "Aw man, what am I going to do?" He yelled.
Keigo began to think while standing by an abandoned strange building that probably no one from his class had seen.
"What if I make up a story that I made a new drink," Keigo thought, still being near the strange and unique abandoned building, which probably hasn't had human contact in a long while.
"Naw! That's stupid, oh I got What about I Tell them I go into a crazy fight, no They probably wouldn't even believe me," Keigo thought, taking a seat on the stone steps of the strange building that was very unique and probably would be so easy to get into. Finding the strange treasures that were possibly inside. Keigo then scratched his chin still thinking of what to do, then in this moment of a lost brainstorm there was silence.
Keigo stood up and quickly turned around, staring pro-Longley at this strange building. He narrowed his eyes and kept scratching his chin. His eyes widened at a new idea.
"That's it!" Keigo said out loud figuring it all out. The young teen stood proud and tall. This was the moment to put him on top of his classmates to earn their cheers. The stories to top all stories.
"I'll try to get on TV with that Don Kanoji!" He said out loud crossing his arm in a victorious tone. There was a long amount of silence coming from the area now. There was no noise because there was a lack of intelligence there. Keigo's Idea was snapped out of his head when the door to the building slammed as hard as it could, echoing through the street.
Slam!
Keigo fell on his butt, startled by the sudden door, slamming. Like the universe was showing an answer right in front of him. Keigo took a nervous gulp, he was too keen on exploring an abandoned place. To the young teen, this place seemed tormented by something. Keigo had a lightbulb pop off in his head as he fantasized about a situation, where if he told his friends that he did go to a haunted house he would become super popular.
"Bingo!" Keigo said in happy cheer, "Let's explore a haunted house!"
He slowly walked up the stone porch which had been cracked and damaged over the years. He reached out for the weathered door and slowly pushed it open knowing. The door hinges made a loud creaking noise. Keigo walked into the building to see a hallway that led to a staircase upstairs and further down a door that was labeled caution. It was very dark because most of the windows were boarded up.
"Hello is anyone in here!" He called out. The space reponed with silence
While walking he could see that to his right was the living room. it was completely Baron. The only thing that hadn't been taken looked like was the purple shaggy carpet. Keigo kept walking down the hall and could see some pictures that hung crooked on the wall. Some had their glass broken, it was hard to make out anything when the picture was corroded in dust. Keigo kept walking but unfortunately, he stepped into something breaking the glass beneath him.
He slowly bent down and grabbed the picture. He could see a photo of what looked like a family, yet the photo was so damaged he couldn't make out any of the faces, though he could tell it was a family of four. Keigo, being respectful, gently leaned the picture against the wall.
"I guess this was your guy's house!" Keigo thought. He glanced at the stairs that led to a couple of rooms. Keigo questions if he should go up to them, afraid that they might be unstable. That means the only thing to look at was that door at the end of the hallway. He felt his heart beating so fast; expecting to see an ocean of blood flood down the stairs.
Keigo walked towards seeing it was made of metal, being held by rivets.
"The thing is probably locked, oh well better just check," Keigo said. He pushed on the door expecting resistance but it never came. As the metal door was easily opened. A stone staircase was leading down into the darkness. Keigo reached for his flip phone and turned on the light on it. With his phone, it was slightly illuminated enough for him to walk down the steps. When Keigo took his first step down, he felt a chill up his spine.
"Woah must be pretty cold down there," Keigo said as he furthered down the stairs. When he reached the end his eyes widened at what was down there, even with his limited vision.
He could see this was a lab of some kind, with test tubes, burners, and many unknown substances that were labeled and cataloged with numbers. It was a big lab and both sides of the room had tables connected to the wall. The floor is tiled with blue slabs and the walls an iron blue. Keigo could have many gadgets lying on the floor, all having a silver and green color scheme. Before taking the next step he felt his foot touch something. He pointed his phone light down to the floor to see an outlet extension cord and an extender plug. Keigo looked down and back at the dark room.
"I guess this is what turns on the light," Keigo guessed as he played the two together. The lights in the room turned on, getting rid of the ominous feeling. Now that the lights were on, Keigo could see a giant circle-like structure at the end of the room, he would have called it a tunnel, but there was an end he could see, and the walls in the space were made of black material with green veins of wire.
Keigo immediately took a picture of it with his phone. He was so happy and giggled out of excitement.
"Oh man, the guys are never gonna believe this!" He said in excitement. He began to photograph everything. Keigo had the story to top everything. His hands couldn't help but touch everything, touching tubes and looking at the weird gadgets that hung on the wall. One did catch his attention not for how amazing it looked, but for how mundane it was. It was a silver canister.
"Is that a thermos?" He asked out loud, Keigo shook off the feeling and his eyes caught onto something else.
"Woah!" He said it out loud. Seeing a white jumpsuit that had black boots and gloves. Keigo reached to feel the fabric, it was soft yet rubber. Then a thought dawned on him that if he could bring something to show to the others, and the pictures he might have been the most popular guy in school.
"Keigo urban explorer, yeah heck maybe Ichigo might let me clothesline him for ones," Keigo said. He looked at the suit with a prolonged gaze and wondered?
"Maybe it's my size?" He asked out loud. There was only one way to find out. Keigo grabbed the suit and swiftly looked around to see if no one was peeping at him. Quickly he took off his clothes, leaving him in his underwear, which were boxers with hearts on them. Soon he put on the jumpsuit and zipped up the middle. He noticed there was a faded sticker on the chest so Keigo took it off. He glanced at it to see a face but couldn't tell who the man was, so Keigo dropped it on the ground.
There was one thing he had to do now, Keigo walked into the tunnel, held his phone up, and took some pictures. It was a bit dark here, even with the light so Keigo used one arm to hold himself up just in case he tripped on something.
"What is this?" He asked out loud, This place was so strange and weird but not in a creepy way more so like it was new. He noticed the hole ended five feet ahead, it wasn't going anywhere. Keigo kept walking along until he noticed his hand gracing something. He turned his light to his hand seeing his hand was on a green button. Keigo looked around and quickly entertained the idea this must have been the lights. I mean there was a red button by it so it had to be the lights to this tunnel.
Keigo quickly thought about leaving. "Maybe I should go, Oh one more picture couldn't hurt, especially this place."
"Well, lights on-!" Keigo was cut off as his vision was blinded by white light. Keigo's body was electrified with a strange green energy. Then all he could see was pitch darkness. All feeling in his body went numb and he fell to the ground in a cold limp.
His lifeless body lay on the cold floor as Keigo's body sprawled on the ground.
Keigo's eyes snapped open, and his body jolted up, as he tried to breathe. Though no air came into his lungs. While the most shocking and disturbing part was the young teen's heart did not beat. Then he heard the sound of a chain rustling.
Keigo quickly stood up and tried to inhale, but found the action to be impossible, yet he didn't feel like he was suffocating. Keigo didn't know what to think, he quickly looked down at himself seeing the jumpsuit he wore had its color pallet swapped. The main parts of the containment suit were now black and the gloves, boot, and belt had become a shining white. Though the strangest thing with the chain connected to his chest.
The chain was connected by a small metal bass directly in the center of his chest. The young teen felt completely lost in this dark place. He tried to yank off the chain but found it was now part of his body.
"What's going on?" He screamed in hysteria.
Keigo's head shifted around, trying to make sense of his surroundings, so he was surrounded by pitch-black darkness. Keigo was so terrified, he didn't know what to do. Then Keigo felt someone behind him; not as if someone had touched him more so he could feel the presence of something.
Keigo spun around to see an unholy sight for a human. illuminated In a giant clear barrier inside it a humanoid creature with slicked-back dark hair, oval eyes, and very thin eyebrows. His eyes were very unusual, each having four black irises, the creature lacking any limps looking like they had been removed. It was suspended in the air with four large black wires.
"What-What are you," Keigo asked in horror.
"Don't leave my sight child, The world of Ao is to not be fooled with!" A gentle voice whispers to him. Though it sounds distorted and broken. Keigo was at a loss for words.
"Don't run from the cycle, It was the way I made life" The voice whispered again. Keigo looked down to see the chain that was on him slowly dissolve into green particles. Even though this whole situation should've scared him, seeing that chain disappear in that green light filled the sense of beauty in Keigo. It was like he was freed in some way. The world around Keigo is divided into a swirling green space. In contrast, this strange humanoid gritted his teeth, in what looked to be anger.
"You opened the door, that can not be shut, you fool!" The voice whispered in pure anger. Keigo slowly backed away from the imprisoned being. The ground shook as Keigo looked up at the sky seeing the green had formed a sharp maw and yellow glowing eyes bright as a lighthouse. It began to let out a malicious laugh that echoed through the space. The sounds of thousands of doors unlocking rumbled around him.
The ground began to crack while the motion was being finally spoken.

.
Keigo felt his entire being change as a green slime rearranged his molecules. Then a flash of green light washed over him. As Keigo felt his body change one more time.
He jolted up again, with beads of sweat coming off his forehead. Now on the ground when he slowly stood, feeling his body had been electrified. Keigo saw he was still in the same room. He slowly searched around the room to find something. He found a sink attached to the wall above it, a mirror. He had to splash water in his face telling himself he was in control. He ran over and gazed into the mirror, his entire body froze in surprise. Keigo was wearing the same clothing from his vivid dream.
Though he noticed his new snow-white hair and glowing green eyes. Keigo backed away to look at himself seeing, how he was deathly pale. Keigo had to let out a scream at his new appearance, Keigo ran from the basement in blinding terror. He crashed, passed the door, and bolted out of the house. Keigo couldn't feel his heartbeat.
He was running outside thinking of only going back home.
"What happened to me!" Yelling in his mind. Keigo turned into a freak and thought his life was over. Unknown to Keigo, he was running straight into the busy roads.
Keigo had found the hard way as two headlights blinded his vision. The young teen faced his death and watched his life flash before his glowing green. A giant semi-truck was heading right his way. Keigo felt fear take over his body, without knowing his entire state of living becoming transparent. The giant vehicle passed through his entire body. Keigo in a flash could see inside the truck, the engine and the cargo it carried, as it passed through his body. Soon the truck was now at the end of the road Keigo stood there, his feet shaking and terrified at what happened.
He stood there momentarily frozen at what just happened, his sense of reality broken. What was he, and how did he do that? He looked down at his hands seeing his white gloves glowing with a white outline.
"What am I?" He asked out loud. Then another car hit him and he was lost in his thoughts. His body flung into the air, and the only thing going through his mind, he didn't want to hit the ground, Even though all that transpired today, he didn't want to hit the ground. He didn't want to die here on the road and leave his sister alone in this world. Keigo at that moment wished he could be more than a rambunctious teen, who annoyed people, he wished Keigo could do more with his life. All the people who knew him would find out the news of him dying and Keigo didn't want that.
"Sorry for taking away your smiles guys," Keigo thought. "Sorry for leaving you alone Mizuho, I wish I was a better brother."
Keigo waited for that sudden hit of the ground followed by that sweet relief of death. He waited and lingered for that sudden whack. Though it never came, his eyes still closed waiting for that moment.
Still waiting.
"Okay, how long does this take, because I feel nothing,"
Slowly he opened his eyes to see the ground below him, though his feet weren't touching the ground or any part of his body making contact with the concrete Road. Then Keigo realized he wasn't standing on the ground but floating above it. He was levitating over the road. He was now a foot above the road flying in the air. Keigo instead of freight or possibly confusion, the young teen was excited did this mean he had superpowers? Now he was marveling at himself.
"This is, This is, This is so cool!" He said so excitedly that he stuttered.
Then the honking of a horn blasted at him as another car was heading for him, this time Keigo felt his body float away, very slightly narrowly dodging the vehicle. When that fear entered his mind his body stopped levitating off the ground. Keigo landed on his feet and ran off in the direction of his house.
"Get off the road, get off the road!" Keigo yelled.
He turned his head and could see the three cars pulled off the road and the people started to look around confused at what they saw.
Keigo kept running, all he wanted to do was go home. The sun had now been passing into the night. Keigo was running on the sidewalk but knew this was the time that people were settling down in their homes, at this pace he would be able to make it back at twelve. However, he noticed something was very wrong. He was running faster than he usually was passing familiar spots way too quickly. Keigo just wanted to run but was afraid someone from the road was following him. He turned around to see no one there but as he whirled his head around, he was now heading for a concrete wall, he forgot his old shortcut was blocked off a month ago. He couldn't stop his momentum and suddenly feared the impact. Facing the only thing was a hard face smack he held his arms up, though known to him, the transparent took over his body again, and he passed through the wall, bypassing the matter, breaking the laws of physics. Keigo was now on their other side now understanding what happened the first time. The young teen dropped to his knees and held his legs. Having to take in what just happened. His voice was broken and mentally exhausted.
"Oh my god, I can walk through walls, disappear, and fly," Keigo said, though, in these strange and hard times, he couldn't help but think of a joke. "I'm much more unique than the other guys hehe, Oh Who am I kidding This is a nightmare,"
Keigo gave a weak laugh. Though all. He wanted to go to his household and go back to that room. Keigo was in full sprinting mode now.
"Just keep moving and don't look back!" Keigo thought. Then with great leaps, he was now in the front of the house and opened the door without even batting an eye to close it. The teen flew up the stairs in this case; Keigo flew up the stairs thankful he quickly landed on the top, though he almost tripped on his footing. Keigo's feet hit the ground, and he ran into his room. slamming the door behind him. Now that he was somewhere safe, Keigo finally gave up and his back leaned on the back of the door as his legs gave out, while he slowly fell to the wooden floor. Keigo was overwhelmed and held his legs in a fetal position.
"I just want everything to go back to normal, please just go back to normal!" Keigo cried. In one word to describe the situation it would be lost, and that feeling can lead to fear and soon snowball into anger but Keigo never lost his temper ever, people thought he was incapable of it. At this special moment, he wanted to punch his hand through the wall. He gripped his head in hysteria, no longer building his red hair now replaced with that ghostly white.
He then heard a loud bang at his door.
"Keigo, is that you?" Mizuho asked. Outside she had a somewhat concerned look. The way her brother just rushed seemed a bit odd. She could hear the panic breathing on the other side of the room. "Are you okay,"
Keigo held his head and slowly pulled himself back together. He didn't want his sister to see him like this.
This ghoulish reflection of himself. How could he explain what happened to him? Keigo was trying to think of an explanation.
"Keigo! Open the door or else I kick it down!" Mizuho shouted and knocked on the door hard. He began to think about what to do but no solution appeared in his mind. Keigo then let out a comical cry. He didn't want to run away and couldn't think about phasing through the walls. Though powers were a wild card and he didn't want to destroy anything in his room?
"All I want to do is change back, be normal again, change back, change back, change back, please change back," Keigo said his mind; he was willing to try anything, and even saying it, gave him some hope. Keigo heard another loud thud until his sister screamed to open up the door.
Keigo finally gave in, there was no point in hiding anymore. He might as well face the music, and live his life as a circus freak, and heck maybe he'll get a good career out of it. Hopefully, the ladies won't mind dating some ghoulish, half-ghost boy.
Keigo stood with shaky knees and twisted the handle. Though before he could open the door, Keigo could feel two glowing white rings wrapped around his body, one moving up, and the other moving down. Keigo could see that now he was in his underwear. He looked down at himself and could see he was back to normal. Keigo was so happy that he jumped with joy and pumped his fist in the air.
"I'm normal again, thank you, thank you, thank you," He cried out loud. He opened the door to greet his sister with his normal face. He had a bright grateful smile. Mizuho stood there seeing Keigo was fine and wearing a goofy smile.
"What's up Mizuho-," Keigo couldn't finish his sentence as her sister sent a roundhouse kick to his face, knocking him into the room more. He slowly pulled his head and looked at his sister to see Mizuho with an angry face.
"What was that for!" He yelled out holding his nose.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN YOUR UNDERPANTS, YOU PERVERT!" She screamed in anger. Keigo quickly recovered and waved his hands in a pleading way.
"No please you got wrong, I was getting ready for bed that's all," Keigo lied, not wanting his sister to see him like that.
"WHATEVER I DON'T CARE ANYMORE," Mizuho said then lowering her tone of voice. Thankfully their parents were both off at work, to not hear the loud commotion, though she did do it just to be civil. "Just tomorrow will you please just get out of your room, you don't want to be Neet do you," Mizuho said as she walked away and closed the door. When the young teenage girl was walking down she shook her head.
"I swear it sounded like he saw a ghost!" She thought, now knowing her brother was just being ridiculous as always.
Keigo now finally alone tried to figure out what was helping him. Keigo tried to piece all the events together to string some rhyme or reason. An answer would've been great, though all this stress and confusion led to nothing. Keigo brought his head down onto his soft bed and let out a sad sigh. Right now he needed rest and he was home and safe. Keigo slowly lay on his bed and stared at his white ceiling.
It was then he realized how tired he truly was running for miles upon miles with no break. He was exhausted. That was the first time he truly ran a marathon. In the moment of clarity trying to bring himself a smile, he made a joke about the situation.
"Well, I guess I got the best vacation story when I get back," Keigo said with a melancholy laugh. He could feel the slow grip of his exhaustion, whatever happened to Keigo did take a lot of energy out of him. His eyes slowly closed with one fleeting thought entering his mind.
"I open the door, but what did I open?" Keigo thought. In truth, all that happened in that laboratory was him being electrocuted and waking up to find himself with snow, white hair, and glowing green eyes. He didn't see anything else strange. Maybe he'll worry about it tomorrow, Keigo thought he was just a teen, what was he ever going to do? It's not like he was in any trouble or anything. He told himself that tomorrow he would probably just sit down and relax and play some video games.
"Nothing bad is gonna happen, this is probably temporary," Keigo thought before finally going to sleep. While he slumbered the spirit whispered.

Meanwhile back in the lab….
The silver tunnel lay empty while the lights were still on, and Keigo's clothes were on the ground beside it. The lab seemed empty without any sign of life, or possibly another visitor. It would stay vacant, for whoever knows when. This lab, this house, and this area. we're all in one short phrase, a Ghost Town untouched and left to break down and fade away. Until the tunnel started to give off green sparks; like a firecracker ready to flash. A green vortex started to appear in the middle, as it slowly grew and grew more until it stopped at the perimeters of the tunnel. Now a portal that tore into another reality, simply floated in the tunnel, like a pound constantly, having ripples. The ambiance in the room became cold as well. The sounds of malicious giggling and spooky howls echo throughout the room.
A tall, faint, silhouette seemed to start walking toward the other side, the more it approached the portal, the darker the silhouette got.
Then something took his dark black boot from the other side, almost checking the lab with its foot. Seeing if there was any danger on the other side. The black boot went back inside the portal. Then something stepped out now on the blue-tiled floor.
He stood about six feet tall, wearing a white baseball uniform with green glowing strips, and black knee pads. On the back of his uniform was a roaring white tiger. He had slick-back black hair, his skin was a deathly gray, and a black scar across his right cheek. This ghostly being had glowing black eyes and a sharp chin.
He glanced around the room and felt surprised like he couldn't believe where he was standing. He saw the door hanging open and ventured forward walking up the stairs and stopping at the front of the door.
His hand slowly reaches out to open it. Then with a gentle push, he looked outside and took a deep breath. Walking out into the street, his eye gazed up at the sky, seeing the night sky and stars.
"I'm free," He said. The person's dull face turned into a happy smile and his fist gripped hard.
"I'M FREEEEEEEEEEE~!"
This ghost then noticed how there were a bunch of clothes on the floor.
"Uh, who clothes are these, wait it doesn't matter I'm free," He said to himself. The ghost threw his arm in the air with joy in his body.
"I'M FREE!"
He shouted and flew into the air, his bottom turning into a wisp of energy, flying into the quiet Karakura town.
So Hey This is Keigo Phantom, I had this idea floating in my head for a while and I just had to write it down. So yeah tell me your thoughts on this story honestly, I don't see many Danny Phantom and Bleach cross-overs so I decided to throw my hat in the ring. So tell me if I should continue this, also you probably saw this coming but BEWARE! Also, Ghost energy will be the same, whilst spirit energy will be the same as well. I'll explain how these two ghostly forces oppose each other in another chapter.
