The Amnesiac Ghost | | ObitoxRin AU

Chapter One

A loud knock was heard on the door. Rin winced to herself,not in pain but in nervousness. She know to well who was on the other side of the door. The terror land lady who keeps bugging her about the overdue rent. What can she do? She was fired from her part-time job for causing a commotion after seeing a bloodied ghost. She was only left with a little money barely enough for a month and she couldn't find any jobs for some reason. Long story short, her life was a mess.

"Nohara Rin. Open this damn door or I'm calling a police." The lady yelled behind the door, pounding it hard. With a sigh, Rin turned the knob and slowly opened the door. She was greeted by a very angry lady who looked ready to eat her alive. Rin who didn't know what to do, flashed a very sweet smile.

Rin found herself being drag by the fumming mad lady in the hallway of the apartment. Her things in a duffel bag being carried by the lady too. When they reached outside,she was harshly push by the lady into the road.

"Here. Your things. Get the fuck out of here. I don't want a person who can't pay her rent on time." The lady screeched before stomping back inside. Her co-tenants were peeking at their windows. Some look at her with pity,some didn't care. She stood up and dusted her pants, lifted her heavy duffel bag and began walking away.

"Oh great. Where am i supposed to sleep tonight? That lady is really heartless. She could've waited until tommorow before kicking me out. I couldn't afford any inns. The money i have is barely enough to afford a cheap apartment room and a week for food necessities." She muttered to herself and she grunted with her bag. She saw a bench underneath the sakura tree and exhaustedly flopped down. Praying to Kami to help her which seemed to be heard for one hour later, someone offered her a place to stay.

Still sitting at the bench, she entertained herself by looking at the people busily passing by, paying no heed to her. The night was already late but the streets were still busy. Lights from different establishments kept the surrounding bright. Her stomach let out a low growl when the delicious scent of cheese burger of a passerby reached her nose. She reached to her bag and pulled out a bag of chips. As she was eating,an elderly guy sat next to her. She didn't mind it at first,until the guy spoke up.

"Have nowhere to stay?" the guy said. Rin glanced at the guy before swallowing the chips. "Yes, you're right." She answered.

"I know an apartment." the guy added. This time,Rin looked at him. " Im broke right now. I can't afford".

"It's cheap. The room hasn't been inhabited for a month now. Tenants always leave for some reason. That's why my sister lowered the rent for that room." The guy explained.

"And why is that?" She asked, curious. The guy turned to her,his eyes in a slit. "Apparently its a ghost. Scraping chairs,moving furnitures,open faucets and most of all, missing foods."

Rin deadpanned. She's got enough of ghosts. But she couldn't turn down the offer. Considering her financial status rn and the school opening three months from now. "So what do yoy say?" The guy asked. Rin closed her eyes and heaved a sigh. "Okay, lead the way". The guy smiled and stood up. She followed.

Rin found herself in front of a door that says 304. Room 304. A lady handed her the key and wished her goodluck. She opened the room and switched on the light. To her surprise,it was far from her expectations. The room is tidy and didn't seem creepy at all. The room is big enough for a two person. Exhausted for the night,she flopped down the comfy bed and drifted to slumber,not noticing the boy watching her in the far corner.

When the morning came, she began arranging her things. Clothes to the closet, a family picture on the side table,she opened the windows to let the sunlight and air in. Her remaining snacks went to the cupboard. Since the room was a little dusty,she began cleaning and when the room was sparkly clean she dressed and went out for she was running low on food. With her little money left she decided to go for grocery and job-hunting. She was met outside by the guy he talked to last night.
