 As Jera was sitting on the bench alone apart from the koi fish swimming in the pond there was a long figure watching her from the shed as he doesn't make a sound knowing she would get curious and to see what made the noise, soon Jera picks up her guitar and notepad and goes back inside now heading for her room now as the thing in the shed waited a bit till all lights were out signally that the family was asleep as it makes its move and starts to approach the house now slowly opening the door and stepping inside now being very quiet now as he heads for the stairs.


Back upstairs everyone got chance and turn in for the night now as in Jera room she wears her long sleeve blue shirt with matching pants as she gets into her queen sized futon bed as chika sleeps at the end of her bed now as Jera yawns as she lays back and uses a small remote to turn of her own light and puts it down beside her as she shuts her eyes now ready to fall asleep now. But, moments pass when she starts to hear footsteps coming closer form her room as she slowly opens her eyes confused as everyone else went to bed and it wasn't the sound of kai walking but more of a man footsteps but is sure their not her fathers as she reaches a kind of click sound with every step as she sits up slightly really confused and slightly a bit scared too as she reaches to wake chika up before whatever it is gets to her door now.

Jera got chika awake as she hears the noises and starts hissing at the door now as Jera quietly got up picking up chika and gets into the wardrobe to hide form what ever was coming as she closes the door quietly but leaves it a jar so she as peer out to see what's there. As after a minute her door slowly opens as a figure slowly walks inside her room closing the door behind it as Jera holds her breath now feeling really scared now as she holds chika with one arm and has her other hand to try and reach for the baseball bat she put in her wardrobe that she go from her father, as the being walking in more now as Jera tries to find out who it was.

The being looks around the room seeing it empty as he looks along the walls for the light switch.???"....where is that light switch I seen these people now a days use it, it should be on the walls somewhere. "by the voice it was an adult man but Jera knew it wasn't her father or brother at all as she soon finds the bat and grips tightly watching for the right time to strike the person down. The person moves more around still not finding it get a bit frustrated he can't find it as he looks up now for the light waiting if he has to pull a string as he was close to the wardrobe door down after all his moving as his back was too it as Jera gathers her courage and opens the door quickly and strikes at the person's head. Jera "take this you trespasser ahh!!" to Jera it felt like she got the person but as she let go of chika she ran out and stepped on the remote as the lights came on as she gets a good look at the person and is shocked what she sees.

Instead of seeing the back of the person and him knocked down the man was facing her as he used his katana sheath to block the bat strike as he blinks looking at her.??"ah it's you, you're the young lady who freed me then. I owe you greatly please forgive my rudeness. "he steps back and bows to me now as I hold the bat really confused. Jera" ...w-wait...no..you can't be...that statue of the samurai...it cant be.."Jera steps back really confused on what's happening right now not able to make any sense of it at all. The samurai stands up and notices the confusing as he puts his katana sheath back at his side and clears his throat a bit.??" forgive me I'm sure all this seems too unreal, but I am, let me introduce myself. I am the samurai, Taishi Yasahiro." he smiles at her as Jera slowly puts her bat down as chika walks over to Taishi a bit cautious about him still.

Taishi notices chika and smiles kneeling down to her holding his hand out. Taishi" they're there I bring you or your owners no harm at all you have my word." they look at each other as chika meows showing she believes him as he stands up again turning to Jera as she keeps the bat beside her looking back at him. Jera" ok if this isn't some crazy dream then how are you even alive??" she looks at him not seeing any logic on how a stone statue she just saw was now alive and walking. Taishi" well I'm not really alive but not fully dead either I'm really a ghost or spirit if that helps you understand this." Jera points to his katana. Jera" well if you're a ghost then how could that reflect my bat then??" Taishi listens to her and nods. Taishi" yes well for me I'm solid for a short time, till morning comes to be exact, then I just be a wondering spirit. "he sticks his hand out putting it on Jera cheek as she could feel his warm hand as she blushes slightly at this as Taishi just smiles as chika sits in between them wagging her tail looking at them meowing feeling a bit left out. and a waMd
