Prologue: Seeing is believing

�So. That
the place?� Naruto looked out from inside the van.

�That�s the
place.� Shino confirmed, having to lean in between the
two seats, as the van only had two windows.

�Jesus,
that�s just fucked up creepy! Who still keeps a house
like that around anyway?� Kiba bellowed from the passenger�s seat, trying to
hide how terrified he was.

�All the
more reason to believe it�s haunted.� Shino slid the car door open and stepped
out into the cool night air.

Kiba
groaned, banging his head on the headrest. �Dammit! Why did you guys have to
pick midnight to go ghostbusting? Wouldn�t noon have sufficed? Or maybe three? Yeah, I heard three is the devil�s hour!�
Kiba laughed sarcastically.

Naruto
chuckled. �No, that�s three in the morning.
But you know; that actually isn�t a bad idea.� The blond pressed his chin in
thought. �We can always wait three more hours��

The
brunette completely paled upon hearing that, waving his arms about. �You can�t
be serious! Do that and I�m not buying you ramen for a year!� He all but
screamed.

�Jeez,
relax dog breath. It was just a joke.� He was still snickering when he pulled
out the car keys from the ignition and stuffed them in his pocket. �Come on
before Shino starts giving us the silent treatment again.� Naruto stepped out
as well.

Kiba was
debating with himself on whether he should just stay in the van or go run the
risk of a heart-attack for the tenth time that week. He looked at the house and
shivered. The moon played a ghostly glow upon the decrepit mass of terror.

What was
worse, it was midnight; therefore the suburbs were completely deserted. No one
even bothered to install streetlights in that part of the neighborhood. Kiba
was sure he was going to have a coronary at one point in the night.

He rubbed
his forehead and sighed. �The things I do to take you on dates Hinata.� He
muttered to himself.

�You
better not have pissed yourself again, I just I got that seat reupholstered!�

�Oh fuck
you!� Kiba yelled back, finally getting out of the van with frozen feet.

Naruto was
still laughing as he helped Shino get their equipment from the back of the van.
�So, remind me of our status again?� He grunted as he pulled out a particularly
large suitcase.

�Neighbors
called to report noises. We come in and deal with it.� Shino said in monotone. �Actually,
it has been happening for some time now, but the neighbors just dismissed it as
their imagination.� There was a bitter edge to his tone. He didn�t like it when
people refused to believe in what they couldn�t see.

Naruto
yawned, �Didn�t figure it was gonna be so straightforward. We could have let
Kiba stay home and save him from potential soakage.� He chuckled. Shino wished
he could.

�Hey! I
heard that you asshole!� Kiba hollered, adding noise to the otherwise silent
night.

The
brunette was still grumbling as he slid the door open and reached in to pet his
dog. �Hey boy, we�re here. Wake up so you can protect daddy from all the ghoulies and the ghosties and the
vamp�ies!.� He cooed,
rubbing the dog�s fur.

Akamaru
groaned a canine groan but immediately sat up upon feeling his master�s touch
and licked his face. The dog bolted from the van, prancing jovially on the
pavement, not at all sharing in his master�s insecurities.

�Hehe, Akamaru�s still got more balls than you Kiba.� Naruto
grinned, kneeling down to pet the pooch, who tried to lick his face right off.

�And their certainly bigger too.� Shino added, lugging a particular piece of
equipment. Since no one could see what lay behind the collar of his orange
jumpsuit, they could only imagine that he was smirking.

Kiba
huffed rather cutely under the moonlight. �Will you two stop making fun of me and
get this damn party started already?� Akamaru jumped circles around him. �I
just wanna go home and comfort my Hinata.� He stated dreamily, hands clasped
under his chin.

�Fine, fine, fine. Wouldn�t wanna keep you from your
woman.� He said, though he knew exactly
who wore the pants in that relationship.
�Got everything Shino?� He asked, finally being serious.

�Yes. PKE
meters, check.� He handed a case over to Naruto who took it. �Wave
sensor, check.� The man pulled up a large square device on wheels. Kiba
gripped the handle. �And photon packs��

�Check,
check, and check.� Naruto assured as he slung the backpack-like device on his
shoulders. Shino handed Kiba his own who already had his. Naruto put his hands
together and took a deep, calming breath. �Well, guess we�re ready.� Naruto
turned to face the old, abandoned house as his teammates did the same.

It was
quite an impressive structure, even more so with its heavenly spotlight. The
house was three floors of dilapidated oak wood that was likely rotting to the
core and just ready to collapse. Leafless trees littered its surroundings, its
branches reaching every which direction like talons going for a kill. They
served to add more substance to the already bleak atmosphere. No matter what
time it was, the estate was said to always have this black cloud over it,
seemingly in perpetual darkness.

�They say
this house has been sitting here for the past two-hundred years.� Shino calmly
stated. �Though no one�s really managed to settle in there, for obvious
reasons.�

Kiba was
practically wobbling on his knees, Akamaru drooling beside him. �Way to psyche
me up Shino. You know I�m a freaking pussy when it comes to this stuff.� The
brunette actually admitted.

Shino
shrugged. �My bad.�

�Eh, no harm, no foul. As long as you�ve got your rubber pants on, everything
will be just breezy.� And the laughter commenced once more.

Kiba hit
Naruto upside the head. �Will you just stop dammit? Why do you have to so mean
to me? It�s not my fault I�m asthmatic and afraid of dark places and
cockroaches and��

Naruto
extended his arms in front of him, trying to keep Kiba from full on showering
him. �I�m sorry dude! Really! Calm down already! You�re gonna make me we-� He
was cut off when his eyes wandered to a window, seeing something he couldn�t
really place.

His hands
fell to his sides when he saw the faint contours of a face, parting the
curtains ever so slightly.

When he
noticed the odd look on Naruto�s face, Kiba stopped babbling. �Hey? You okay
dude?�

�Yes. You
look like you�ve seen a ghost.� Shino said, wishing there really was a ghost and not another bust. The
man looked to where Naruto was facing, and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Naruto
blinked upon hearing his friends� voices, seeing that whatever it was was gone. Great. Now I�m seeing
things. It was probably just some splash of moonlight on the glass.

Naruto was
skeptical, for the truth was he didn�t really believe in the paranormal. While
Shino was dedicated, and Kiba believed enough to be absolutely terrified of
them, Naruto hadn�t an inkling that ghosts existed. They had been in the
business for four months and still they had never found anything substantial.
That didn�t stop Kiba from urinating himself on every failed adventure though.

�Y-yeah,
I�m fine.� He reassured his friends who were staring at him with concern. He
realized that he had been frozen on the spot for nearly a minute. �I thought I
saw something. I guess it was just the moon.� His friends were still looking at
him, but they shrugged it off, picking up their equipment.

�If you say so. You looked like you were gonna piss your pants though.� The brunette
froze momentarily. �No! I take that back!� He instantly faced Naruto, demanding
the blond to forget what he just said.

When it
seemed like Naruto was going to dish another scathing insult, he just smirked
and faced the house once more. �Ah forget about it dog face. Now let�s go roast
this puppy!� He declared to the night, lightening the mood.

Akamaru
whimpered.

With that
said the trio and dog marched to the house. One was determined, one was
unsettled, one was barking reassuringly to the one who was unsettled, and the
last was deep in thought.

If that really was just the moon� Naruto peered up at the glowing
ball in the sky, narrowing his eyes and frowning. �why did it look so�cute?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - -

The face
in question left its place by the window and levitated to the center of the
room, as well as the chair he sat on.

�What did
you see Sasuke? What did you see?� The thin, tan spirit was jumping about on his own chair, floating up and down in obvious excitement.

The raven
haired ghost smirked, for not even Kidomaru�s frequent outbursts could ruin his
mood. �I believe we have guests and not the ones who just ring the doorbell and
run away.�

A redhead
by the name of Tayuya snarled as she was perched or her dusty, mite infested
throne. �I fucking hate it when they
do that! I swear if I could touch those little bastards I�d wring their necks
and when their dead, I�ll bring them back to life and kill them again!� The
girl screamed in unreasonable fury.

�Whoa,
whoa Tay, you better
watch that temper, Satan might decide he wants you back.� Sakon, a dead man
whose hair was as pale as his see-through skin laughed manically while Tayuya,
in perpetual rage, initiated a chair war with him.

They had
completely forgotten about Sasuke who was currently about to pop a vessel,
though that was impossible for blood was but a memory.

�Please serene
yourselves my friends, for if you don�t, I�m afraid Sasuke might fall into a
second death.� Another ghost who lay on a floating couch was Jirobu, who seemed
to be the spirit of Buddha himself.

Sakon
immediately stopped laughing, Tayuya stopped raging, and Kidomaru stopped being
a complete imbecile. The three fell in line in front of Sasuke, who was their
self-appointed godfather. They awaited his words of wisdom.

�As I was
saying; I believe the living have finally come to get rid of us.� Sasuke calmly
stated, his fingers coming together. �From the looks of their equipment, and
unless their here to exterminate roaches, I believe my analysis is accurate.�
Most of the room nodded along.

It didn�t
take long before Kidomaru broke down in glee. �We�re gonna smite the living! We�re gonna smite the living! We�re gonna smite the living ��

�As much
as it pains me to say it, I�m afraid I share in our retarded friend�s
optimism.� Sakon said with a smirk. �Don�t you? Sasuke?�
He leaned closer to his leader, smiling expectantly.

Sasuke
could only remain impassive for so long before a small smile graced his
translucent cheeks. As much as he hated to admit, he was excited at the chance
of finally getting some new toys to play with. There was only so much a dead
teenager could do for entertainment.

�Oh my fucking GOD!!� Tayuya shrieked, which was really what she did best.
Kidomaru was still singing in the background. �Is our evil overlord Sasuke smiling?!� She growled it out as if it
was the most offensive thing she ever said. �And will you fucking stop making that noise?!� She crashed her chair into
Kidomaru�s with a smash.

�Shut up
Tayuya.� Sasuke mumbled in annoyance. �I think we can afford to have some fun.
I�m sure you all agree with that.�

Sakon and
Kidomaru grinned, while the latter was being pummeled by Tayuya. Jirobu,
however, looked like he had swallowed a bug. �It brings my decaying heart
multitudes of joy to see our dear lord Sasuke smile as if he lives once more.
But me thinks it would be wiser and more pleasing to God, if we made peace with
the living instead of allowing our env-�

�Oh shut
up you fucking fatass!�
Tayuya sneered in between Jirobu�s soft-spoken
speech. She had Kidomaru in a headlock. �You just want us to leave them alone
so you can have them all to yourself and eat them! Isn�t that right fatso?!�

Jirobu
turned beet red, despite the fact that he had no skin. �That is a very hurtful
thing to say my dear Tayuya.� The large ghost sniffed.

�Guys��

�Hurtful eh?! It only hurts because it�s true eh fatass?!�
She squeezed tighter on Kidomaru�s neck, his eyes bugging out. �I bet you died
because of indigestion! Don�t you fucking deny it!�

�Guys��

�You know,
I have always wondered about that.� Sakon said thoughtfully, �Though I never
would have pegged his death on cannibalism. Plus points on
creativity Tayuya.� Sakon nodded in recognition. He turned to Tayuya. �I
always thought you died because of some random STD, by the way.�

�Guys��

�What did
you say?!� The redhead rounded on Sakon, who was laughing again. �What did you fucking say?!� Kidomaru�s eyes were just
about ready to pop off.

�Guys��

Jirobu had
his face in his hands, crying ghostly tears. �All I ever wanted was to steer
you all to the path of God and to the road of heaven. And this is the thanks I
get? Oh woe is me!� The fat man sobbed, couch bobbing up and down.

�GUYS!�

�Tayuya�you�re
hurting me�� Kidomaru choked out, afraid that he was going to die. Again.

�WILL ALL
OF YOU FUCKING SHUT UP?!!� Sasuke screamed, getting up from the ugly lazy boy
which fell to the floor. Seriously, what could he have possibly done in his
life that deserved him eternity of torture with these idiots. Surely hell
wasn�t as bad as people said it was.

�Hey you
guys? D�you hear something?
It sounded like something fell!�

The ghosts
froze even more after hearing the voice just outside the door.

Tayuya
slowly let go of Kidomaru�s windpipe while the others just stayed motionless.
Even Sasuke was listening intently.

�I know
one�s imagination runs amuck when they are terrified, but wait till we are inside the house Inuzuka.� It was a
deeper voice that time, almost monotonous.

�What? I
swear I heard something! You heard it too right boy?�

He was
answered with a bark.

�I�ll take
that as a no. Now will you step aside Kiba so I can open door?�

It was the
last voice that Sasuke liked best. It wasn�t annoying like the first one and
not cold like the other. Sasuke smiled, he was going to like tormenting the
last one.

It felt
like centuries since the five ghosts of the unnamed estate had a chance to
haunt anyone. Sadly, they were but constricted to the confines of the estate,
till a time when God would see them worthy or when Satan would deem them due
for a barbecue. Needless to say, they were anxious, and to think that spirits
could afford to be patient.

The raven slowly
scanned around the room, nodding to his friends. Kidomaru grinned while Tayuya
punched her palm intimidatingly. Sakon smirked and
nodded too. Jirobu, ever the killjoy, bowed his ectoplasmic
head in shame, but submitted nonetheless.

Sasuke
couldn�t help rubbing his hands in anticipation. He was getting bored not being
able to leave the house, but as long as the fun remained inside, it was okay.

He didn�t
know that his afterlife was about to change forever.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Naruto
jiggled the doorknob, but not too hard, for it looked like it was going to fall
off any second.

Kiba was
fruitlessly rubbing his arms, despite the fact that he was wearing three layers
of clothing. He couldn�t shake the biting chill that he felt was less a
byproduct of the cold midnight breeze and more of something else. �Hey blondie, what�s the holdup? If you haven�t noticed, I think
the blood up my ass is frozen!� Kiba whined.

�I think
the door may be locked.� Shino offered the obvious.

Naruto
gave up with a sigh as the knob just wouldn�t give. It was probably rusted from
the inside. �Well, guess there�s nothing left to do but��

Without
warning, it only took one powerful kick to send the door off its hinges and
fall to the floor with a dusty thud.

�Godammit!� Kiba yelled in between coughs. �A
heads up would have been appreciated you asshole!� The brunette wheezed. That
was so not good for his asthma.

�Yes. You
scared me.�

Both boys
regarded Shino incredulously, who still managed to look like he had a stick up
his ass. Naruto shook his head and scratched behind his neck. �Hehe�sorry bout that Keebster.
I didn�t know my own strength.�

Akamaru woofed and padded under Naruto�s legs, into the house.

�Hey! Wait
up boy!� Kiba exclaimed, lugging the equipment along. �You�re supposed to be
protecting daddy!� He also vanished into the darkness.

Shino
sighed behind his collar.

�Sometimes,
that Kiba is as moody as a chick.� Naruto scratched his head.

�Yes.�
Shino stepped over the fallen door. �Now let�s go.� He was gone as well.

The blond
took a breath and nodded, stepping into the house, machinery still strapped to
his back.

He stepped
through the portal to find Kiba and Shino frozen in the middle of what seemed
to be the living room. Even Akamaru seemed calmer than usual.

Naruto
didn�t really know what the big deal was. It was just like any other seemingly
haunted house they had ventured to in the last four months. From what could be
seen with the aid of the moonlight that streamed through the thin curtains,
dust billowed with every step they took. The wood creaked and seemed to be on
the verge of collapse. Furniture was scattered about the room, there were five
in total. A badly patched couch lay against a wall, while two chairs sat next
to eachother without a table. A loveseat was nestled at the center, dirty fluff
sprouting from the holes on the upholstery. His eyes caught on the lazy boy
sitting near the window. Naruto wondered if there had been anyone on that spot just minutes before.

�God, this
place sucks!� Kiba�s shout brought the blond out of his musings. �What�s up
with all the furniture? To think that whoever used to live in this place would
have a table at or a picture at least.�

What Kiba
said was true. The room was completely devoid of anything other than the chairs
and the couch. It was far too boring to even be creepy, as even Kiba hadn�t ran
for the hills.� It was once again another
routine case, Naruto thought with a sigh.

The blonde
set the photon pack unto the floor, adjusting his shoulders. Those things were
heavy. �Why do we even bother bringing these Shino? It not like we ever use
them.�

�We never
know when we might need them Naruto.� Shino also put down his photon pack and
went to adjusting the wave sensor.

Kiba
wasn�t listening, just going around the little room, Akamaru in tow. �You know,
with a few touch ups, this place really isn�t so bad.� He rubbed the ugly green
couch with a wince; it was rough. �Okay, maybe I�d lose the furniture.�

Shino
looked up as the square contraption blared to life. �Kiba, please stop talking
like a real estate agent and hand us our PKE�s.�
Shino demanded in monotone, standing up.

Kiba
pouted and threw the briefcase he was holding unto the loveseat. He unfastened
it, opened it, and took out one among the three gameboy-like
devices inside. �All I was saying was that this place would be better than the
crappy dorms.� He grumbled, flicking on a switch which turned on the LCD.
�Since no one owns this shithole, then we can
probably afford it. If its not haunted that is.� He added, looking around the
room in slight apprehension.

Shino took
his own PKE. �If you think I�d be willing to room with you Inuzuka, then you
are sadly mistaken.� The device went on with a beep.

Kiba
narrowed his eyes at the taller boy. �You know, an �I�m not interested� would
have sufficed.� The brunette turned away, sniffling comically.

Naruto
chuckled, reaching for the last PKE. �Party�s over boys. Back
to work.� Naruto said with derision. He really had no reason to
complain, if it paid the bills then it was fine.

�Yeah, yeah.� Kiba went off to a corner of the room, scanning his PKE on whatever
surface before turning to the other boys nervously. �Um, we don�t have to split
up�do we?�

Shino
stared at him briefly before going back to scanning his own patch of wall. �No.
We can just do this room for tonight. The other floors can wait.�

Kiba
loudly released a breath in relief. �Oh thank God!�

Naruto
wanted to laugh, or at least say something. But for some reason, he felt
awfully�subdued, sort of uneasy. He couldn�t shake the feeling that someone was
watching him. He should have been accustomed to that feeling, with the job he
had. But he had never actually felt uneasy in an abandoned house before. He
knew it was a bad sign when he was weirded out and
not Kiba.

He shook
the thoughts away and concentrated on doing his job, ignoring the nagging chill
in his spine.

Fifteen
minutes past of them just moving around the room, feeling for any supernatural
presence with their meters. There was none, not even a pulse.

Until
something happened to Shino that immediately shot his brows to the sky.

�Um, guys.
Something�s happening.�

The two
other boys had already rushed to Shino�s side when his meter started ringing
loudly.

�This�is
unusual. According to my meter, the readings are impossibly high.� Shino said
in hushed tones.

�That�s
impossible.� Naruto insisted, raising his own meter for them to see. �Mine�s
shooting blanks!�

At that
instant, Naruto�s PKE blared just as loudly as Shino�s.

Kiba�s
eyes widened at his own PKE, and threw it to the floor like it had sprouted
tentacles, not willing to see the readings spike and prove that for once, they
were not alone. �Okay guys, this is seriously disturbing.� Kiba backed up to
the wall, breathing hard. �This has never happened before!� Just when he
thought it was going to be another routine trip, this happens!

Naruto
just glared at his PKE, though it refused to shut up. He obviously didn�t know
what to believe. He liked to think it was just some mistake with the equipment,
but with two PKE�s buzzing simultaneously, it just
didn�t seem possible. But he sure as hell wasn�t believing in no ghost until he saw it!

Shino was
also at a loss. He didn�t actually know what to do if the house was haunted.

They were
startled when Akamaru started barking aggressively to the air, drowning out the
sounds of their meters. The machines weren�t the only things that knew when a
presence lurked. Kiba�s eyes were roaming around, just waiting for a head to
pop up right from the walls.

Shino�s
eyes returned to his device, speaking slowly. �According to the readings, this
room is literally drenched in supernatural activity. We are practically
surrounded.�

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - -

And indeed
Shino was right.

�Seriously,
damn mutt is pissing me off.� Sakon said beside Akamaru who was barking directly at him. He walked around the
dog, which seemed to know where he went at all times, barking right at him.
�It�s damn smart though.� Sakon smirked, trying to pet it though his hand went
right through the dog�s skull. Akamaru whimpered at the strange sensation.

�Make it
shut up! It�s making my fucking ears
bleed!� Tayuya screeched, making quite a lot more noise than the dog. �Jirobu.� She glanced at the fat ghost still on the couch,
batting her lashes sickeningly. �Would you help your dear, sweet Tayuya and eat
the bitch? Pwetty pwease!� She cooed. Sakon gagged.

Jirobu
narrowed his eyes in response, crossing his arms and looking away. �I will not
be fooled by your sweet guise of innocence my dear Tayuya. And I refuse to ev-�

�Oh just
shut up Fat Albert! I was just kidding!� She glanced at the two boys, the blond
and the one wearing shades, talking amongst themselves in whispers. The
brunette was still plastered to the wall. She licked her lips. �You know, the
blond is pretty cute. Fucking gorgeous actually! But the girly one is fine too.
How I wish my genitals were still alive.� She said dreamily to the sky. �What do
you think Sakon?�

The pale
man/ghost thought about it while kicking a whimpering dog with his translucent
foot. �Personally, I�d go for the one in shades. Wearing sunglasses at night is
just so�fetching. How bout you Sasuke, who do you thi-�

His voice
trailed off as the answer was right in front of his eyes, causing him to smile
as if he had just been told some juicy secret. Sasuke still sat on his couch by
the window, moonlight streaming through his ectoplasm. His fingers were digging
through the armrests from the way he
was staring at the blond boy with such fascination and�was it need?

�What?�
Tayuya demanded, wondering why Sakon was suddenly silent. �What are you thi-� She trailed off as well as she followed Sakon�s gaze and her eyes found her master, comprehension
dawning. �Oh��

It was a
wonder how spirits could practically molest a human and they wouldn�t feel a
thing. The red hot intensity behind the Uchiha�s eyes was enough to have burned
the blond right where he stood. No doubt the man could feel some of the heat
that Sasuke was sending him. It was obvious from the way his fingers would
clench and of the sweat pouring down the side of his face. He was aware of
their presence, he just wasn�t aware
that he was aware.

Kidomaru,
as usual, was oblivious to the significance of the Uchiha�s sudden interest. He
was bouncing on his feet once more. �Come on already! What are we waiting for?!
Let�s smite the-.�

�No.�
Sasuke cut in with a deep edge to his tone.

The rest
of the room fell silent, cep�t
for the murmurs of the humans and their dog.

Sakon
peered at him incredulously. Was he denying them their fun? After all, what
other chance would they get? �Um�don�t mean to be rude Sasuke, but�come again?�
He asked with bitterness he didn�t know he possessed.

Jirobu was
clapping his hands.

Sasuke
ignored his tone, or for the most part his words. �We won�t hurt them, I won�t
allow it. For if we do that, they�ll leave, and we can�t afford that.� The
raven smiled maliciously.
�
Sakon
could feel his heart return from the grave and beat like a drum. Thank God
Sasuke wasn�t restraining them; Sasuke just didn�t want to hurt them. He grinned and turned to Kidomaru, who was ecstatic.
�You heard him Kido, just don�t hurt them
kay?�

Tayuya
snickered, rubbing her hands together. �Let�s give them a show they�ll never
forget boys, and let�s make sure they come back for more.� She turned to an
unaware Naruto, throwing him a ghostly kiss. �Especially you handsome.�

Jirobu
looked like he had just come back from hell.

Kidomaru
screamed in delight, floating over to Kiba who was still panting against the
wall.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - -

�Whatever�s
happening, it�s not going away.� Naruto looked down at Kiba�s fallen meter,
which was ringing madly in-sync with the others. �We should put on our photon
packs, just in case something shows
up.� He wasn�t gonna say ghost, he couldn�t
say ghost! He didn�t believe in no ghost!

Shino
nodded and made his way to the wave sensor before putting his pack back on.

�Kiba?
You okay there buddy?� Naruto asked concerned for his friend who seemed at the
doors of hyperventilation.

�Oh yeah!
Just peachy! You know, I assigned for this job thinking it would be a breeze
and here we are!� He was having a hard time fully leaning on the wall with the
photon still strapped on his back. With the force he was giving, he wouldn�t be
surprised if he crushed it like a tin can. �And it was a breeze till our equipment starts picking up signals for the
first time in four months!!�
�
Naruto
didn�t comment, not even to say that it was probably just a fluke, for he knew
it wouldn�t help.

He was
sweating profusely and he couldn�t for the life of him figure out why. There
were so many holes in the house that ventilation was already a given. Not to
mention that it was currently thirty digress. But he just couldn�t stop sweating!

Naruto
wiped at his forehead, trying to convince himself that it was normal to be so
hot in the face and so cold everywhere else. Is this the chills that people
mention whenever they talk about ghosts and haunted houses?

He tried
walking around with his PKE, but the numbers just kept getting higher with each
creaky step he took. He might as well be walking into some zombie brothel.

Kiba
wasn�t doing so well. He wasn�t doing well at
all!

Currently
Akamaru was barking at him like he was some giant cat in a mailman suit and it
was seriously freaking him out. He knew that dogs could sense things people
couldn�t even imagine, especially since his pet had been acting very strangely
ever since the meters went off.

�It�s weirding you out too eh boy?� Kiba hissed. �I know what you
feel, sort of. But you better be quiet or el- WHAT THE FUCK!!�

The other
boys instantly reacted to the sound of wood breaking as well as Kiba�s scream,
which was immediately followed by a hard and painful thud. Akamaru barked and
jumped in shock.

�What the
hell?� Naruto yelled, rushing to Kiba�s side who lay
face down on the floor. �Dammit dog-face, what the hell did you do?� He
demanded, slightly concerned and partly amused.

Shino also
kneeled beside him, not really doing anything until he was sure of what had
just happened. �Kiba? Would you mind telling us what
exactly happened?� He voiced his thoughts. �Why is your foot through the wall?�
He had to ask.

Kiba
didn�t need help getting on his hands, groaning all the way. �It�s not my fault
godammit!� He coughed from the dirt on his nose.
Akamaru started laving at his checks comfortingly. �One minute I was leaning on
the wall, and then my knee just caves in!�

There was
a hole in the wall where Kiba�s boot had gone through it. Naruto swore he could
hear laughter above him.

The boys
helped the brunette pry his foot from the wood and helped him stand. Shino and
Naruto shared a look while Kiba dusted himself off.

�Are you
sure you didn�t kick the wall on your own?� Shino asked. �Not really on purpose
but maybe on impulse?�

�No! I
already told you! I don�t what the hell happened!� He seemed to be on the verge
of tears. �So don�t you pin this on me! I�m the victim here!� He pointed a
finger accusingly at both his teammates.

Shino
crossed his arms in contemplation. �It seems even Kiba suspects.� He nodded.

Kiba�s
eyes went as wide as dinner plates. �Suspect? Suspect
what? I�m not suspecting anything! Why are you looking at me
like that?!� Kiba started to sniffle again, wanting nothing more than to
just go home and make love to his girlfriend.

�As much
as you hate to hear it Inuzuka, I think we have just had our first encounter
with the paranormal.�

�NOOOO!!!�
Kiba exploded, his head in his hands. What a drama
queen.

It didn�t
bother Shino one bit, for a grin the size of Saturn�s rings hid behind his
jumpsuit. Finally! He was getting the brake he deserved! He just knew being patient would pay off
someday. He could just see himself
dancing with the werewolves.

I don�t believe in ghosts�I don�t
believe in ghosts�I DON�T believe in
ghosts!

Even after
what�s happened, Naruto still couldn�t accept the annoying little fact. Who
could blame him? He just wasn�t the believing type. He stubbornly attributed
the thing with Kiba to some weird muscle spasm and not some paranormal encounter.

Kiba
screamed for a whole different reason when he suddenly jumped to the air, hands
going straight to his buttocks. He glared disbelievingly at Naruto who had been
standing beside him. �Naruto? What
the hell?!� He sputtered at the stunned blond. �I have a girlfriend
dude! And I don�t swing that way either!�

It was
then Naruto�s turn to sputter. �W-what?�

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - -

Kidomaru
leaped between each leg with glee, finally having gotten the chance to �smite�
the living.

Sakon
wasn�t impressed and rolled his eyes. �Amateur.� He crossed his arms, glaring
condescendingly at the ghost with the ponytail. �I know you were aiming to
exorcise him, but all you managed was to move his foot. How
lame.�

Kidomaru
instantly stopped prancing and pouted at the pale man. Why did he always have
to ruin his fun?

�Now if
you want to see what a haunting really looks like�� Sakon suddenly stuffed his
see-through hand up Kiba�s ass, who leaped a mile into
the air. He narrowed his eyes when he felt something he didn�t expect. �Okay,
wait a second.� And then it was his head that went inside Kiba�s rear. �Hey
Tayuya, check it out.� He called from within Kiba�s rectum. �This guy is
wearing four layers of underwear!�

�What? Really?!� She imitated Sakon with excitement, hiding her
head like an ostrich. �You�re fucking right! And is that Charlie Brown?!�

Sasuke
rolled his eyes, massaging his temples with his fingers. Idiots.

�That�s
fucking awesome! There�s one for each of us!�

Kiba would
never, ever know, of the night he had two ghosts looking up his ass.

Jealous, Kidomaru
did the same thing to Shino.

�Hey! Is
that a stick?�

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - -

The
brunette was at that moment rubbing at his rear-end so furiously it could have
left scorch marks. Akamaru whined at his master�s bizarre behavior.

�Dammit Kiba! Why the hell would I pinch you?!� Naruto pleaded his case. If he was gay, he sure as hell wouldn�t be
coming out to Kiba!

�Yeah,
yeah, shut up gayboy.� Kiba winced, trying
desperately to warm up his ass-cheeks.

�Inuzuka�what
the hell are you doing now?� Shino
asked, as always, in monotone. The night just kept getting progressively
stranger. He was starting to doubt that the paranormal had ever been involved,
and that Kiba was just insane. He figured that the PKE�s
must have picked up on the ghost of Kiba�s brain and that was it.

�I don�t
know!� Kiba winced again, probably in pain. �I don�t like talking about this
with you guys but my ass is damn cold!�

Naruto had
to raise an eyebrow at that and chuckled. �Well that�s what you get dog-face
for going commando.� He scoffed.

The irked
brunette glared embers at the blond. �Well for your information gayhole, I�m actually wearing fou-�
Kiba immediately cut himself off when he realized that he didn�t really want to disclose that information to his
mates, cause then he would have to mention that he was only wearing them in
case he wet himself�theoretically. �Um, never mind! Forget I said anything.�
His hands left his butt cheeks, they weren�t cold anymore anyway, and walked
away stiffly, his dog at his heels.

Naruto
just gaped after him. Well someone is PMS-ing
today!

Shino
shook his head, afraid he was gonna die of a migraine before the night was
over.

And yet
another disturbance ensnared them of their thoughts and possible their sanity.

It was the
wave sensor�s turn to blare out of control. The box began emitting a green
light and flooded the noiseless room with sounds of static. It was the type of
thing that was bound to scare away ghosts.

�Well what
do you know?� Shino said softly, approaching the box and kneeling down. �I
think whoever or whatever is causing all this has something to say.�

Kiba
shivered involuntarily, swallowing the moisture in his throat, remembering the
throb in his foot.

Naruto
sighed and picked up his PKE, not really remembering when he dropped it. He
padded to beside Shino and kneeled down, peering over the box. Kiba remained a
few meters behind them, despite Akamaru�s attempts to pull him closer.

�You hear
anything?� Naruto asked the boy next to him.

Shino shook
his head. Of course not, it was all static.

The wave
sensor worked by picking up vibrations. While the PKE meter sensed
psychokinetic energy, the sensor was better for sounds. Sound only dogs animals
could hear. Ghostly sounds.

A break in
the static alerted them that the machine had picked up something. �Listen, do
you hear it?� Shino asked, his full attention on the
machine. He jostled and turned buttons on the panel to get a better reception.

Naruto squinted his eyes. �Try turning the dial to the left,
decrease the frequency.� Shino nodded and did as he was told. The blond smiled
at the results. �Perfect.�

There was
barely any static remaining, and the sounds that it picked up were slow and
condensed, but audible.

F��f��f��f��f��f�

That caught
their attention, as even Kiba found himself moving closer, interested. It felt
very much like a s�ance, only it was a one way phone call. They weren�t really
all that interested in speaking to whatever it was.

�Fu�Fu�Fu�Fu�Fu�Fu�Fu�

�What�s
she saying? What�s she saying?� Naruto assumed it was girl, since most ghosts
were girls. Not that he believed in them.

�I
honestly don�t know. We should wait for it; the machine needs time to pick up
the full signal.�

�fu�fu��yo�fu��you�fu�

Naruto
straightened his knees, not really believing what he thought he was hearing. �Okay�um, is she saying what I think she�s
saying?�

It only
took a second for his suspicions to be confirmed.

�fuck you�

Shino nonchalantly shutdown the machine with a press of a button, having
about enough.
�Inuzuka, you should really consider keeping that language of yours in check,
and due make sure that the equipment doesn�t pick up on it next time.�

Kiba
appeared scandalized. He looked to Naruto for support, who
merely looked away. �Me?! Why is it
always fucking me?!�

�- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

�Fuck,
fuck, fuck FUCK!!� Tayuya screeched, no longer caring
if the machine heard it or not.

Sakon was
tapping his foot impatiently. All he wanted to do leave the petty pranks and
start throwing some furniture. But noOoOoOo! Oh great
almighty Lord Sasuke wouldn�t let them! They were gonna leave before they�d ever get the chance to really play with
them.

�Sasuke
can we just-�

�No.� was
the curt reply.

�Damn fuck
Uchiha! We�re just gonna -�

�No.�

�But Sasuke! I wanna smi-�

�No.�

�Oh Lord Sasuke! May the peace of Go-�

�No.�

Sakon
growled in agitation. All he could do was watch as the boys were just beginning
to pack their equipment, the brunette was still yelling to nothing in
particular. He looked out the window and spotted the grubby old van the ghostbusters had come in. If they were already gonna leave
anyway...he smirked, for an idea had dawned on him.

�Sasuke?
Can we at least mess with their
ride?� He asked in as level a tone as possible.

Sasuke
sighed, seemingly thinking about it. He rested his chin on his knuckles,
looking bored. �Fine. Whatever.� The raven waved them
off.

The three
had already sped out of the house in a fraction of a second, laughing evilly
like the ghouls that they were. Only Sasuke and Jirobu remained, who still
refused to strain the bonds between the humans and the inhumanes.

Sasuke
smirked at the momentary silence, really wanting to get rid of them so he could
have some little fun of his own.

Fun
directed at the cute little blond who never seemed to leave his gaze.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - -

�That�s
it! I�m waiting in the van!� Kiba spat, marching in the direction. �I just
figured out that I�m not really cut out for all this so I�ll just leave you two
to�WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!�

Naruto
released a haggard breath. Not again. He
didn�t even bother seeing what was up with the crazy brunette. Why should he
care what happened to the person who claimed he was some gay maniac.

He would
have gone anyway if it weren�t for his PKE meter suddenly buzzing with a zest.
The strange thing was that he swore he
had turned the thing off.

It was
Shino who came to Kiba�s side at the doorway, but only because Akamaru started
barking and he knew he could trust the pooch more than his owner. �What is it this time Inuzu-�
His voice died in his collar when he realized that Kiba may not be so crazy
after all.

Their van,
the same one they used on the job, was currently trying to get off the ground.
It was jumping, it was wobbling, it was dancing to
some 80�s disco tune that had just started blaring on their stereo.

Shino dug
his hands into his pockets. Yup, still
have the keys.

The two
startled boys shared a meaningful glance before running hurriedly to their
vehicle, Akamaru in tow. They had to do something before middle-aged housewives
started batting them with rollers and husbands getting their rifles.

Completely
unaware of the going-ons outside, Naruto remained in
the house, alone, just staring at his PKE meter.

He
wondered vaguely as to why it turned on by itself, but most of all, he wanted
to know if their really was something
in the house.

He checked
the other PKE�s and they weren�t getting anything,
and they were on! Naruto thought he
must be getting some special treatment or something. Though
Kiba was probably more deserving of that award.

The blond
took a deep, long breath before deciding on what he was going to do. He didn�t
really believe in ghosts, but that didn�t stop him from being curious.

�I can�t
believe I�m doing this.� He said to himself. He couldn�t believe what he was
doing either when he started waving the device about, trying to find the
strongest signal.

He found
it, but he didn�t like where it led.

The meter
was literally screaming when he pointed it to the darkness of the hallway that
led out of the room and deeper onto the house. He gulped, reminding himself
that nothing could hurt him anyway, since ghosts didn�t exist. He entered the
darkness, completely blind cept for the green glow
emitted by the meter.

He cursed
when his knee hit something hard. He felt for it, and it was a small desk. His
hands went higher, and felt the rungs of a banister.

With the
PKE as his guide, he went up the stairs tentatively, watching each step he
took. If I have to go one more floor I�m
leaving! His silent wish was unanswered as the meter buzzed loudly upon
arriving on the second floor.

Natural
light was long gone then, as the moonlight was left behind in the living room,
and there were no windows in the second floor hallway. He took note that the
structure was a lot smaller on the inside than it was in the out, mostly cause it was more like a building than a house.

Creaks
from the floorboards, hums from the meter, and breath from his lips were all
the sounds needed in the cold, deserted hallway. He was just beginning to curse
himself for forgetting to bring a flashlight!

He froze
on his tracks at the noise that met him only a few doors down. The distinct
sound of flushing wound around his psyche, throwing him off balance.

Relax Uzumaki,
it�s just a broken toilet. Probably does that every night.

His limbs
felt like rubber and his head felt light as air as he waited for the flush to
end, but it never did, the water just kept on running, like someone was holding
down the lever�

Oh fuck oh fuck! Someone�s in here!
I knew it! Dammit! This could be some serial killers hideout or something!

The meter
held in his sweaty fingers rose in volume, alerting him that whatever it was was NOT human.

With one
final gulp, Naruto forced his feet to move, but like a cat so as not to alert
whoever it was of his presence, even though the PKE was practically a foghorn
in his palm. He moved slowly nonetheless, more from fear than from stealth. They
had never investigated alone on their hunts; so he was just simply not used to
the situation. Oh why did he choose to go alone?!

Getting
short on breath, Naruto leaned on the wall beside the door like a cop waiting
till it was safe to fire his gun. How he wished he did have a gun.

Without
thinking further, Naruto rolled from the wall to face the bathroom.

By the
light emitted from the device, he could just make out the tiny sink, to be
followed by the still gurgling toilet bowl, and then a bathtub covered halfway
by a dirty shower curtain. It was as normal and as dull as bathrooms could get.

He
absentmindedly placed the PKE on the sink, making sure that it faced up so the
room would be cast by a ghostly green. He stared at his reflection on the mirror
that occupied one side of the room, the LCD light was making his eyes glow, it was very disconcerting.

He no
longer knew what exactly he came there for as he stared down at the grimy basin
that still continued to swallow the water that poured from the sides.

His eyes
widened when it suddenly stopped with a guzzling sound, almost like a burp. He
leaned down closer, though he didn�t really know why. He just found it all so
fascinating.

And then
there was silence. His consciousness returned to him, why it had ever left him
in the first place he didn�t know. He had no time to ponder it further when an
�Oh shit� left �his
cold, chapped lips.

His eyes
automatically shut as a geyser hit him right in the face. Some of it even
managed to get into his mouth as most of it went straight up his nose. His face
took the abuse for a full five seconds before he started coughing, getting the
musty liquid out of his lungs.

He saw
himself in the mirror, completely drenched and panting heavily. But then he saw
something else.

His
breathing ended, making him want to gag as there was still water in his
pipeline, but he could not look away from the image just over his shoulder. LCD
light shouldn�t be able to show all that much, but it apparently showed enough.

The pale
face smirked at him, and he froze from head to toe.

I don�t believe in ghosts�I don�t
believe in ghosts�I don�t believe in ghosts�

Several
blocks away, in a dorm room and on his nightstand, his clock rang 3.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Isn�t Kiba just adorable! *GLOMPS*

So how was that for my first
chapter? Assuming anyone actually read this far. Just going
to say that everything else is mostly Naru and Sasu-centric. This is just a prologue and was only
meant to be stupid.

This fic DOES
have a story, trust me.
