I wasn't the type of person who liked to clean...in fact I don't. But for the sake of me living here I guess I have no choice. The lounge was still messy but it isn't as bad as it was when I arrived here after I cleaned it up a bit.

pit...pat...pit...pat...

"Hm?" I was alerted by the sudden sound, looking outside...It was raining!? 'Jeez it just had to rain at the worst time.' I groan in frustration before closing all of the windows, otherwise I'll have to do more cleaning than I need to. Once I was done with the task I hear a very familiar voice, "Gyah-! Why's it suddenly raining heavily!?"

I jumped, startled "What the-!? How did you get back here!?"

"I had no trouble sneaking back in. It'll take them a lot more than that to throw me out." said Grim with a stupid grin on his face. "Geez...Why are you so desperate to go to this school?" I ask as I take out the mop to clean up. "Well that's simple." Grim places his paws on his hip as if he's telling an epic tale, "I'm a genius born to be the greatest magician! I've been waiting for the Black Carriage to pick me up but...but..."

'Oh boy...' I roll my eyes knowing how this'll (probably) go. "Hmph! That Dark Mirror doesn't have the eyes to see ya know! That's why I came here myself! Those humans don't understand that not letting me enroll is a loss for them!" Grimm huffs as he crosses his paws. 'I couldn't care less about this tanuki...he's starting to get on my nerves.'

Suddenly, I felt a drop of water fall onto my foot. As I look up at the ceiling to check, another drop of water falls but this time on Grim "Fugya! It keeps coming! My charming ear flames are gonna disappear!". Then a few more droplets fall on my shoes again, "Ugh, my shoes are gonna get wet..."

"Magic should fix this leak up real quick! Oh right...you can't use magic! Pfft-! You're useless!" Grim laugh. An irk mark appears on my head, "Oh shut up!" I drop the mop in frustration as I try to find something to stop the leak.

I then realized Grim was just sitting on the couch licking his paws, "Aren't you gonna help me o' Great Grim-sama?" I say with sarcasm. "Help? Nah...I'm just a normal monster taking shelter from the rain for a bit. If you want me to help you, ya better get some canned tuna for me!" He says as he changes to a more comfortable position before a drop of water falls onto his head, "Fungya!"

'This bitch is a pain in the ass...' I clicked my tongue as I try to look for any more containers to catch the leak.

As I was passing by the hallway, I suddenly heard something, "Grim...is that you?" I ask, startled. No response...it's like I'm in Heavenly Host or something all of a sudden. Then I feel something pass through me "Hieee!" I jump. 'I don't like this feeling...' "Grim!?" I call out to him again.

"Hihihihi...We haven't had a guest in so long..." A voice says. "I'm itching for some action!" Another exclaims. Their cackles echo throughout the hallway. There's no one with me right now...Where the heck are these voices coming from!? Suddenly, three puffs of smoke appear, revealing to be...ghosts!?

My face paled, I've watched enough horror shit to know NOT to mess with any ghosts. "S-So...Ghosts DO exist or am I hallucinating?" I ask myself, hoping this is just some weird dream. "GRIMMMMMM!!!!!" I call out to him again in a panic hoping this is all his doing. "What do you wa-GYAAAA!!!! G-G-Ghoooooosssts!" Grim cries out as he hides behind me. 'Okay...so this is real...!'

"The people living here got scared of us and left." said one of them. "We've been looking for more ghost pals. How about you guys?" the other added. "Hell No! Grim! Do something!" I exclaimed but when I turned to look at him, he looked like he was whimpering and crying. "Th-The Great Grim isn't scared of some ghosts! Fungya!" He then starts spewing flames NOWHERE near the ghosts. "Seriously....!?" I groan.
