Woo! Finally, an update. I'm really liking this story! :3 so…enjoy Astral's appearance~!

I own nothing. Enjoy~!

"Hey, Kite!"

I looked up, seeing Yuma's head poking from the room he'd claimed as his own. It was the next day and Shark and he were busy unpacking their things while I was doing the same with my things.

"What is it?" I asked with a frown.

"Could you come here for a second?"

Sighing, I put down the box I was carrying and walked into his room, where Shark already was. "What is it?"

Shark reached up and dug his fingers into Yuma's ceiling, barely able to reach it. Then he pulled down. A small door swung open and a set of retractable stairs felt down to the ground. "Yuma's room has an attic."

"Did you know of this?" Yuma asked.

I shook my head. "No. Dextra never mentioned anything about an attic." Dextra was a friend of mine who had owned this home before I rented it from her. She and her boyfriend, Niestro, both own it equally.

"Let's check it out," Yuma said and, before me or Shark could say any objections, was already halfway up. With a sigh, I followed, Shark behind me.

The attic was mostly empty and was really dark with no lights and no windows. The only thing providing light was a small glowing statuette. It was in the shape of the key around Yuma's neck and pulsed softly.

Yuma knelt by it. "What's this? It's shaped like dad's key." He extended a hand to touch it and, as soon as his fingers scraped the stone, the thing's light brightened to an almost blinding intensity. Yuma let out a startled cry and we all covered out eyes. When the glow faded, lying in its place was a figure.

The figure was male, and he appeared transparent. His skin was a light blue with green gems and green marking on it. His hair was also light blue and curved upwards. Two odd earrings were in his ears. He glowed light blue. His eyes were closed and it appeared that he wasn't breathing.

"What the…?" Yuma whispered, standing up. He backed away, coming to a rest between Shark and I, as the figure wearily opened mismatched eyes-the right one gold, the left silver.

"Hey, are you okay?" Yuma asked.

The figure didn't respond. He forced himself into a kneeling position, paused for a moment, then stood up. But he wasn't really "Standing". Actually, he was hovering a couple of inches above the ground.

He was about my height otherwise excluding his hair, and examined all of us before saying "Who are you three?"

Yuma grinned. "My name's Yuma Tsukumo!"

"Call me Shark," Shark said nonchalantly.

"My name is Kite," I said warily, "Who are you?"

He closed his eyes, as though in thought. "My name is Astral."

"Why are you here?" Yuma asked.

Astral didn't respond for a minute. "I don't know. I can't remember anything."

"You remembered your name," Shark pointed out.

"That is the only thing I can remember," Astral said.

"So you're basically a ghost," Yuma stated.

"Looks like it," Shark said. He glanced at me. "You're the one who rented this place originally. What do you think?"

I frowned. As much as I didn't favor the idea of living with a ghost, something within me told me not to abandon this place. It was the only place close enough to Hart that he could visit anytime, but that wasn't the only reason. I didn't know what the other reasons are, but I just couldn't leave here.

I sighed. "I suppose we could try living with Astral," I said, "I'm pretty sure he doesn't sleep, though, so I don't know what to do about that."

"He could hang out in my room during the night," Yuma volunteered, "It won't bother me." He looked up at the spirit. "That fine with you."

Astral nodded. "Thank you. I am not sure what I would do otherwise."

Lame ending, I know. Sue me. Review time~!
