"Yashima! Yashima wake up!" i slowly opened my eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"Drake.....is in your room....sleeping on your bed," Ukedaro was standing there.

"Oh.....Did you tell her?!" I asked frantically.

"No, that's why I'm waking you up! Hurry, hide him or something!" He said. I got out of bed and woke drake up.

"Get in the closet and dont touch my food!" I ordered him. He did so just as my aunt walked in.

"Hello children.....what's going on?" she asked.

"Nothing...Ukedaro was just waking me up..." I told her.

"Yeah, so you can go now!" Ukedaro smiled and she left.

"Omg thank you ukedaro!" I told him as I hugged him tight.

"No problem!"

"You can come out Drake!" I smiled as he emerged from the closet.

"Okay, It's saturday...what should we do?" Drake asked.

"Well, is the ghost only active at night?" i asked when ukedaro left.

"Well...yeah. Why?" He asked.

"We're going to your house when it gets dark enough for the ghost to come out..." I told him.

"Okay?" He looked confused.

"Lets just say....i can help you..." I told him.

"ah....okay?" He still seamed confused.

"Don't worry!" I told him as I shoved him into the hallway. "Hide in the bathroom as I change!" I told him as I closed the door. I changed into some jean shorts that go down to my mid-thigh....and a cute tank top. It was still hot outside! "Okay, you can come in!" I whispered into the bathroom. He walked out and we rushed to my room.

"so, what do you wanna do?" He asked. I shrugged.

"Let's go get some grub...I'm hungry!" I said. He nodded and we headed out the window.

"This smoothie is good!" I smiled back at Drake who was sitting across from me at the table. We were at a small cafe and just hanging out. I couldn't wait to get to the ghost. I had no idea if I could help, but I could try...

I rang the doorbell at Drake's house and he opened the door.

"Hey!" He smiled and stepped outside to kiss me. As he did so, his mom walked out.

"Ahem!" she looked at us. He broke the kiss and lead me inside. "C'mon! It's dark. She should be out some time soon!" He was dead serious.

"O-okay! Where is she?" I asked.

"My room!" he lead me upstairs.

"okay!" I said as I stumbled to keep up. We arrived and walked into his room. It was dark and as soon as I stepped in I feld a force...I don't know what it was...."Okay, give me quiet!" I said. Then I saw her. A spirit crept out of his closet. She was actually kinda...pretty. Her whole body had a whiteness to it and she glided across the floor. Her body seemed to be....glowing. It was amazing. She seemed much more...peaceful than the apparitions of Burashi. Whenever I saw her, she had an evilness to her...I was always scared. Now I felt...welcomed.

"Hello," I walked towards her. she hid back into the closet. "No no! I'm a friend!" I told her. She slowly walked back out.

"What are you doing?" Drake asked. "there's no one there!" I shushed him and he was quiet.

"Hello. Why are you here?" I asked her.

"I-I can't get out! I've tried!" She pleaded.

"It's okay! It's fine!" I reassured her.

"C-can you help me? I feel... a spirit....with you....." She told me.

"Yes. I do have a spirit not only with me, but in me!" I told her. "But I think I can help you...!"

"H-how? I can't manifest myself! How can you see me? He can't! I've tried to talk to him, but he couldn't hear or see me!" she said.

"I think it's the spirit within me... And maybe I can help you manifest yourself!" I said.

"Do you think you can?"

"I'm not positive...but I can try!" I said as I walked to her. I put my hand up and she did the same. The moment they touched there was a burst of light. I felt energy drain from my body and I began to faint.

"Uh..." I opened my eyes to see a girl in front off me...I deathly pail girl. It was the ghost! She had manifested!

"Hello? I-I did it! I manifested!" She was excited. "Thank you so much! Now I can leave!" she said as she floated out the window and turned back to us, waving as she vanished in the wind.

"What the hell was that?" Drake asked. I slowly turned towards him, seeing his eyes wide.

"Um...it's a long story," I stated.

"Well, I have time," He said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the kitchen table where we both sat.

"Um...well you know how my parents died in that crash?" I asked him. He nodded.  "Well...my best friend Burashi died in the crash, too," I explained. He listened intently. "Well, she never really...left me. Her spirit still resides inside of me. Controls me sometimes..."

"So that's how you could see the ghost?" He asked. I nodded.

"Anyway, when I walked towards her and touched her hand, I think I transferred some type of...um...energy or something. It was weird!" I told him.

"Well, whatever happened it's over now. Did you know you could do that? You're like some kind of...exorsist,"

"No, I didn't know. All of this is so new to me!" I told him.

"I have a girlfriend who's an exorsist! That's awesome!" He smiled. I laughed and he pulled me closer.

"So, you aren't like...freaked out about this?" I asked him.

"Of course not!" He smiled and leaned in to kiss me.

"Okay, thank you Yashima!" His mom interupted him. I frowned and so did he as he let go of my waist.

"Yeah, thanks Yashima!" He smiled. I walked out of his room and downstairs. I opened the door and froze. WHAT THE HELL!?

"Oh, hi!" The blonde waved at me. A girl was standind on Drakes doorstep. She was about his age with long, golden blonde, wavy hair. Her name: Brittany.

"OH!" Drake looked nervous. "Hi Brittany!" He waved sheepishly. Okay...I'll say this again: WHAT THE HELL!?
