As I roamed around the house for a bit, I passed by the stairs again so, I noticed the family moving in with their luggage and all, what really got my attention, well perhaps…what has been getting my attention is the2 daughters of the 'Typical frictional man', they are sisters anyway unless the woman cheated on him and all the family drama.
Don't think such things! I reminded myself, with such less drama around me one can get bored easily, I tend to try and find it often; that reminds me when is Yuki coming back? She would the perfect information collector at the moment, a curious little thing… plus, she tends to love thrill seeking or spy type thing.
This is perfect for her! A chance to investigate through a random family, it truly seems like something out of a movie, a spy movie. I jumped off the stairs and landed like it was some show with audience.
'I feel like a magician after doing something dangerous'
Jumping off the second floors stairs was like a habit to both me and Yuki, especially flying or going through things. That pose was also close to another one.
'Wait, maybe a clown in a circus? They do that pose more often, right?'
I decided to be somewhere close to the door ,the shoe rack was one of my first options, it was close enough but not too close that I would bump into Yuki when she came back.
I waited for a few minutes as I watched the family settle in, it was noisy…the house was usually quiet. This amount of noise seemed weird to me. Suddenly someone tapped my shoulder, I immediately turned my head in surprise. I let out a sigh, it was just Yuki, I really thought some other ghost came, I'm not used to other ghost's presence but I don't mind it much as well, I looked at Yuki whose eyes were on the family that was moving in, she seemed as curious as ever.
"Someone's curious" I teased her a bit
"Need an explanation?"
Yuki gave a nod, "I'm curious and confused so, go on"
I explained to her about how the family of 'Typical frictional man' had moved in with his 2 daughters who are in coma due to an accident and how the accident happened, if I remembered correctly, there was also a nurse-type- caretaker of those 2 sisters that I didn't notice at first but later on saw her as she helped with the luggage.As I finished my short explanation, Yuki was already bouncing with excitement.
"Are you seriously going to try and find info this family?"
"Yes! It would be great to UN-discover their family situation and so on, I mean, we barely got these moments. I always loved the spy or mystery related movies that it is just like those spy movies! " she exclaimed with the most joy from her, at this point she can stalk someone or be an information collector easily with that much amount of curiosity and patience. I sometimes found it surprising on how different yet similar we are; I am quite impatient while Yuki, she seem to never run out of it.
I hate reality, I try to run away from it yet I accept it at the same time. Yuki doesn't have any problem with reality, she doesn't try to replace or more like create an illusion of friction with reality, unlike me, who tries to run away from it.
"Alright then, you do your spy stuff while I go roam around" I said as I walked to the door "Don't get to focused on them that you forget to take care of the house" at this point I won't be surprised if Yuki just forgets that we were supposed to house and take care of it.
I found it weird yet amusing on how we both managed to haunt the house well, perhaps lived there rent-free as ghosts but still managed to make the house not be like a haunted house. I glanced at Yuki one more time, she had already ran off was careful examining the family.
I let out a sigh at that, did she have patience? I am confused now that I think about it. I walked down the streets, everything was normal, it's not like anyone's able to see us nor feel the warmth of a 'normal human' or our presence so, finding some drama would be easy. As I continued walking, searching for actual interesting gossips…the moment I said that, my ear picked up voices of 3 or 4 woman, they were talking about how Ms. Fisher, wasn't that the woman that married the foreigner, what was his name?. I forgot; let's just call him 'Fisher' for now.
I went a bit closer to hear about whatever drama was going on, it's hard to find good gossips so openly in japan but then again, some streets like mine in Yokohama has quite some good and spicy source of gossip going on.
I don't know much about other places since I didn't exactly go out much when I was alive. We also got schools, those will never grow old. I turned my attention back to the actual thing and my, oh my.
"Did that 'Fisher' cheat on that sweet lady with his 'sister-in-law', what in the world of k-drama is this?!" I said that pretty aloud in pure surprise, sometimes thank god I'm invisible, in-audible and a god-damm ghost. It was a great shock and surprise; I mean, how couldn't it but what mattered now is the question on how did that dude get two girls and why the fuck did the 'sister-in-law' got with her sister's husband?!, i decided to walk away (I was walking and not flying at the moment) till I came across a high school, now what's better than some gossips on high school? I had my fair share when I was in high school.
I entered the high school, the grounds were empty as expected, it wasn't even lunch break at the moment perhaps even far from it, the time at the moment was somewhere still quite in the morning, it was 11 am, the last time I checked, I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to hear much gossips today, guess I'll just continue the 'gossip hunt' tomorrow. I glanced back at the high school as I turned around to leave; I never got my graduation.
Never got to college for engineering and Yuki never got to participate in the annual day function she practiced for. "We want to live like normal beings but we can't, we try to live like how we used to but the only difference is that no human can see us" I murmured to myself as I left the grounds of the high school.
