    The sound was very close, like something was whispering in his ear. As Ren walks towards the designated sound.


    "Hello? Is anyone there?"


    As Ren step closer and closer to the sound, a girl suddenly jumped out of the corner of the apartment.


    "BOO!"


    The sudden jump knocked Ren off his feet.


    "Ahhh!"


    Ren covered his face with his two hands. He slowly moved his hands away from his face, reviewing a young girl. She was around the same age as him. She stood towering over the fallen Ren.


    "Umm.. I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to scare-wait, I meant to, but I didn''t think you would actually fall on the floor."


    The young girl stood there trying to hold in her laugh, as much as possible. From the looks of her face, she could''ve exploded any second.


    "Ughh.. that wasn''t so nice.."


    "Sorry. Sorry. Hi my name is Rin, a college student from the University of Tokyo. I was inform that you would be coming today for the first time. So I''m here to show you the directions and buses to take to get there."


    Ren slowly got back up on his feet, he notice that her name was not so far from his name. It must be fate. She was about a bit shorter then him, her face was bright and full of passion, full of adventure. A face you don''t see much in this day and age. She was wearing her uniform. Her uniform was somewhat the same as Ren, just more feminine. Rin had a white button-up shirt tucked into her gray skirt, the length of the skirt reached a little over the knee. She was holding a normal bag with cute little key chains attached.


    ''Hmm.. she doesn''t look suspicious at all. She said she is also a student, but who would ever want to help out a new transfer student..''


    Ren looked at Rin in confusion. He couldn''t understand.


    "Umm.. Rin, you don''t have to help me at all. I know where to go, I have a handy map that I could always use."


    Ren pulled out a map of Tokyo from his bag. He started to find where he was.


    "Your holding the map wrong.."


    With embarassment he flipped it to the right position.


    "Alright. Fine you can lead the way."


    Ren tailed Rin, who was skipping and spinning around as she head out of the apartments parking lot. Rin was a weird girl, she was so different from your average girl in Ren''s hometown. This made him want to know more about her.


    ...


    During the whole journeyshe kept talking about many random and unusual things, most of them were just total random comments. Then she brought up the topic about the disappearance that has been happening all around Tokyo.


    "I heard that one of the students here suddenly disappeared from her dorm. Her roommate was shocked when she never came back to the dorm. She reported it. They still couldn''t find any traces of her til this day. It''s been about a month since her disappearance, many say that she was eaten by something supernatural, something that is not from this world..."


    This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    "Umm.. hey Rin, you mind cutting that out, I don''t really believe that someone would just disappear without a trace, and a something supernatural? It''s just all fake to rousal up the media."


    "Tsk.. tsk.. tsk, Ren, you have a lot to learn. One doesn''t just spread fake news to rousal up the media. This is a serious thing that is happening all around Tokyo in the past months."


    "Well.. I mean you are right-"


    "I know I''m right."


    Rin sticked out her tongue as she ran into the university''s main entrance. She was certainly beautiful. Her hair dazzled as the soft wind blew against it. This was the first time Ren had felt feelings for a girl he just recently met.


    ...

    The day went by as he went from class to class. He heard many students talking about another recent disappearance that happened on the news. A guy named Hauku, age 21. He was part of the boys soccer team, his disappearance shook everyone at school. It was a month since the last incident at this university. The students are whispering in fear, thinking they might be next. This really ticked Ren off. He wanted them to stop talking about it. He didn''t want to hear anymore.


    *whispers*


    "Can you guys stop."


    Ren spoke quietly. His head started to hurt.


    "CAN YOU GUYS STOP!!!"


    Ren stood up and slammed his hands on the table, his outburst caused him to feel dizzy. The students looked at him in shock. Some got scared from the sudden rupture, while some laughed and giggled.


    "Are you okay?"


    A voice came from right behind him. Ren''s face look white as a ghost. He felt like he was freezing, the coldness felt heavy. Ren try to stand up, but thenhis vision got fainted.


    *smash*


    "Hey! Are you okay? Hello?"


    The voices of the person trying to help him echoed as he was swallowed by the darkness.


    ...


    ''Days before my dream of wanting to come to Tokyo, my dad was heading on a business trip in Tokyo. He always said that Tokyo was a place where you can do many different things and never get bored or tired of it. Even though this all happened when I was just in middle school. I knew everything he said, I understand his tone of voice, how happy he was to go to Tokyo for the first time in forever. On the day he left for the business trip was the last day I would ever see him again. He went missing. I could remember mom crying her heart out, she just sat in her room crying over and over again. She was never the same after dad passed away. It was never confirmed that he actually died, but no evidence could prove that he didn''t. After many years of hardship, my mother tried to pour all the love she could give to me, being a single mother with no father was hard on her. I hope she is doing fine back in our hometown, the town my mom and dad decided to raise me.''


    Ren opened his eyes, he scanned the area. At the bottom corner of his eyes he could see a girl sitting next to him. She was sleeping next to the bed in which Ren was laying. The girl was Rin. She layed quietly as she slumbered away. Ren giggled a bit as she began she snore.


    "Rin, you''re a very kind person.."


    Rin began to slightly move, her movement made Ren thought she was awaked. He looked at the time. It was pretty late. He was thinking between waking her up or not.


    Should you wake Rin up?


    ...
