Yo!
What�s up girlfriends! It�s been a long time coming but I finally got around to
finishing this steaming pile of mush that is chapter one.
I�m
still buzzing from all the reviews I got. I seriously didn�t expect to receive
THAT many, but I�m glad I did (DUH!). It really helped me to want to continue
this. SO thank you all! And I hope you review this one as well. Love it or hate
it.
I�d
like to thank amychan, who among the others who
assigned to be my beta, won fair and square in a game of EENI MYNIE MOE. So she
gets just as much credit for writing this chapter than I do, �cause I assure you, I have the fingers of an elephant.
So
here�s the first chapter, and don�t expect it to be like the prologue �cause it
wont be, since the story finally begins here, though its still got the
humor�hopefully�hey I think its funny!
Hope
you like and on with the story!

Chapter I
�Can
you see me?�
��.

�Cause
this is the thriller! Oh! Thriller night!
Thriller!
Thriller! OH!!
Kiba could barely comprehend how utterly pissed he was.
All he wanted was to march into their van, lay around
with his feet up on the dashboard, sip the cocoa he had brought, wait for his
mates to finish the job without him, and look forward to a ten hour rest and an
early retirement. Whoever had decided that it would be funny to break into
their ghostmobile and do-the-dirty at the back of
their van; was rudely inconsiderate of his plans.
The boys had all but flown down the grassless lawn to assess
the strange situation. One would assume that the van was harboring a rave
behind its doors from the way it was bouncing up and down, head and taillights
flickering with 80�s music pumping loudly on their IMAX grade sound system.
Shino froze in place, thinking things thoroughly, in
complete contrast to how Kiba approached the situation, by ruthlessly pulling
on the door.
�Kiba! I
don�t think that�s-�
�Damn fuck! They fucking locked the door!� Kiba yelled,
competing with Michael Jackson�s shrieks. The brunette began pounding on the surface,
not caring if he left any dents. He ignored Shino�s hollow protests as he
busied himself with trying to bring normalcy back to his life.
Akamaru was whimpering pitifully behind him, head
hidden beneath his paws.
Kiba banged harder, metal ringing at the impact. The
van jumped on its wheels, as if he had caused it pain. The foolish brunette
leaned his head closer, �Hey assholes! I know you can hear me and it ain�t funny dammit! I propose that you get out of our van right
now or I�m calling the cops!� He was making it awfully clear that he had about
enough.
Shino groaned audibly, shaking his head in
embarrassment. He still couldn�t fathom his friend�s lack in capacity. A rhino
with multiple orgasms couldn�t make their van move like that, let alone some
felonious couple with a monstrous libido. And now he was actually negotiating with them? He feared that if
they didn�t stop it soon, the neighbors would surely call the cops on them!
Just
beat it! Beat it! Beat it! Beat it! No one wants to be defeated!
Shino frowned at the sudden change in track. Kiba
bristled, like he had been slapped on the face.
JUST
BEAT IT!
�Oh haha!
You think you�re funny eh?!� Kiba was borderline hysterical. How dare they tell
him to beat it! �That�s it, fuck!� He reached into his pocket, fishing
shakily for his cell. �I didn�t want to do this! But you fucki-OOMPH!�
Shino practically leaped at what he saw. The van literally slammed into Kiba�s face, his
phone flew from his hand and he stumbled momentarily before falling hard on his
ass. �Thankfully for him, the four layers
of underpants lessened the fall.
�Jesus Christ!� He cursed, rubbing at his nose which
was sure to have broken. Akamaru padded to his side once again to comfort his
master.

Shino was uncharacteristically shocked. He had seen it
all, seen it happen, when the van had effortlessly tilted to one side,
throttling his teammate before returning to hump the ground, tires
creaking.�
They're
out to get you, better leave while you can! So just BEAT IT!
�You okay?� Shino kneeled down beside the groaning
brunette, gripping his shoulder. There wasn�t any blood on him, so he assumed
he was alright.
He doubted that his teammate had connected the dots
yet, but he was sure that there was no
one in their van. He couldn�t imagine how anyone could break into their van
without setting off the alarm. And if anyone did have the tools to manage that,
they would already be long gone by that time.
He didn�t want to get his hopes up, but the evidence
was irrefutable. His veins were practically buzzing with anticipation.
Kiba would definitely not like what the night had come
down to though, that they finally had a real case on their hands. Kiba was a
coward, no doubt, but he would never actually abandon his mates in the middle
of something. Now, he would have to tell him to go back into the house, acquire
their photon packs, and then�
His thoughts came to a jarring halt when Kiba broke
form his grip, staggering back to whence he came, his teeth bared.
�Kiba!
Wait!� Shino called, but it was too late. The angry brunette had already
returned to his spot beside the van, a flame in his eyes. He was royally
pissed.
Under certain circumstances, Kiba would actually be
considered brave, stupid, but brave. But sadly, the boy was just misinformed.
If he had any idea what he was actually dealing with, no doubt he would have
already crossed the Atlantic Ocean by then, screaming himself hoarse.
Akamaru seemed to have the right idea, shaking his head
at his bestfriend�s idiocy and backing away slowly,
fur standing on end. The pooch had never really considered it, but humans were
dim-witted creatures.
The night was becoming steadily colder as time pushed
through the devil�s hour. It felt akin to witnessing the famous bouncing bed
scene in The Exorcist. Kiba was but a wayward child wanting to play on the mattress.
Shino would have stopped him at that point, but he
needed to see something happen. His dream was about to be realized, and he
needed a guinea pig. Sadistic he was.
Kiba began pulling on the passenger�s side, trying to
see through the windows, now regretting that he had agreed to have them tinted.
He ignored the searing pain in his nose. �God dammit!�
He banged on the window. �Shino! Go find Naruto and
get the keys! I�m going to shut these bastards up!� He screamed over the still
playing Michael Jackson song.
Shino sighed, but made no motion to steer Kiba into the
path of reason. �It�s okay. I have them.� He dug into his pocket and threw the
keys at Kiba, who caught them. Might as well watch the show.
You
have to show them that you're really not scared! You're playin'
with your life; this ain't no
truth or dare! So just BEAT IT!
He pierced the key into the door, wanting nothing more
than to punch in the faces of whoever lay inside. He frowned when the lock
refused to turn. He jiggled it, but to no avail. He had to keep up with the
van�s bounces as he did so. �What the fuck?!� He
cursed. �Why the fuck wont it open?!�
He could hear a faint click amidst the dissonance of
Michael Jackson�s shrieks, and expected the door to open. He didn�t expect it
to be the drive�s side though.
Utterly livid, he left the keys dangling on the
passenger�s side and stomped around the hood to see the driver�s door was wide
open. He had just about enough of these games.
He was about to leap into the van and yelped when the
door shut on its own. He did not see an arm do the deed, it just did. He gripped
on the handle, �Fuck!� It was locked.
He nearly collapsed in rage when it was the passenger�s
side that was open.
Shino saw the door swing open, with no reason behind
it. The insect-lover was shaking in excitement.
Kiba, blinded by annoyance, ran around the hood to
intercept his foes, as the door nearly clipped his nose. The driver�s side
opened in invitation.
�I�m getting really tired of this!� Kiba hissed, vapor
seeping from his lips and his face glowing red hot.
Shino recognized the song change into a familiar tune.
He marveled at how well it suited the mood.
She�s
a maniac, maniac, on the floor! And she�s dancing like she�s never danced
before!
Indeed, that�s how it appeared. Kiba ran around in
circles, trying to meet the door as it swung open, only to slam shut just a
millisecond before he could reach it. The other door would do the same, and he
would repeat the process. He was being toyed with, and he just went along with
it like some lab rat.
He could see lights flood the neighborhood from the
many houses disturbed by the ruckus. Time was running out.
Panting, Kiba held his knees, taking a breather. There had
to be at least four people inside the van, for he couldn�t imagine how they
could manage to play with the doors and still keep the van bouncing like that!
He also wondered how they were closing the door, since he didn�t see anyone on
the seats. Maybe with strings perhaps?
A brilliant idea sparked within the space of his skull.
This was just like any other cat and mouse chase.
He bolted to the currently opened door, and it swung
closed as expected. Which was why he stopped midway and ran back
to the passenger�s side, expecting the door to open right away.
But it didn�t, and he was perplexed. He was sure he had
outsmarte-
It was the second time that night that he had his face
slammed into. The car door had opened just as he had leaned his head. There was
blood that time, and it gushed out of his nose and he fell hard on his back.
There were no cushions for that fall.
The door shut once more, bouncing up and down in glee.
Shino had seen just about enough. He felt partly sorry
for his mentally degenerate teammate, but he would be even more sorry of they
ended up in jail for disturbing the peace. He steeled himself and stepped over
Kiba�s twitching form to the van. He took out the flashlight from his other
pocket and walked calmly towards the hood. He shined the light on the
windshield, thankful that it wasn�t as tinted as the side windows.
Kiba stood up on weak knees, still disoriented. The
fact that he was treading on unlevel ground didn�t help. Akamaru had to jump
here and there to keep from being stepped on. The brunette held his face in his
hands. God that hurt!
�Kiba�� Shino called, not needing to raise his voice
for the music had stopped abruptly. He still held the light, his eyes bugged
out behind his shades, though it was really what he had been expecting anyway.
��there�s�there�s no one inside.�
Kiba�s hands fell from his face, blanching despite
himself. There�s no one inside? What the
hell does that mean?! Somehow, he had already known the answer.
His heart stopped beating when the stereo began playing
a far different tune. Chills ran down his spine that had absolutely nothing to
do with the morning�s temperature.
If
there's something strange in your neighborhood, who ya
gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!!

��.

The ghost of Sasuke delivered his most patented �I�m-gonna-scare-your-boxers-right-off�
smirk�, and with very satisfying results.
The tall blond was reigning on his will not to turn
around, trying to catch his runaway breath before it got a speeding ticket.
Since the boy was barely moving, Sasuke could all but oblige, he didn�t leave
his spot.
He had to admit, the light from the strange beeping
contraption brought out the blood in his eyes, making him look absolutely
horrifying. His face still floated over the blonde�s shoulder on the mirror,
and he couldn�t keep those blue eyes off him for one second.
Sasuke could barely contain himself in anticipation. In
a moment, the blond would either faint or turn around. And when that happens,
he would realize that there was no one behind him, and he would run out of the
house screaming. Classic. As much as he wanted to, he
didn�t want to do too much, �cause
then the blonde might never come back, and he�d be bored to death again. He
could only hope that his ghost mates were taking the same precautions with the
other boys. He didn�t hold his breath though, after all, hope was but a thread
tied to an anvil.
I
don�t believe in ghosts! I don�t believe in ghosts! GOD DAMMIT I don�t believe
in ghosts!
That was his mantra, and it failed to give him any
closure. There just had to be some
formula or equation to explain how a translucent head could be floating over
his shoulder! There just had to be! Or else science is highly overrated.
Naruto swallowed all the spit he had left, his fists
shaking at his sides. His hair was still dripping with the rancid liquid the
toilet blew at him minutes prior, but that was the least of his concerns. There
was after all�a face smirking next to his.
The PKE meter was shrouding the room in an awful green
glow, transforming it into a bad night-vision video. It wasn�t exactly quiet;
the meter was still shrieking bloody murder, trying desperately to convince him
that there indeed was a ghost behind him. Well
fuck you meter!
He shut his eyes tight and squeezed the strap around
his shoulder; he still had his photon pack.
Photon
pack! That�s it!
Whether friend or foe, mortal or immortal, dead or
alive, cheese or butter, he was gonna nuke the bastard! There was no other away
he could think of. He could just run after all, but he still had his male pride
to take care of. He gulped once more, and turned around.
Oh
yeah, that�s it. Come to papa! The ghost thought with
amusement. Though it was lame, and he was all too used to the basic reaction,
he would go with it. He�d move on to bigger and better things when the blonde
comes back. And he better!
Their eyes connected for several moments, one etched
with fear and the other with intensity. Sasuke smiled, believing the blond
couldn�t see him. Mirrors had a strange power of revealing what most couldn�t
see. They showed a person�s true beauty when one looks hard enough, and most of
all, they could sometimes see what the eyes could not.
Satisfied, the raven flew to the doorway, making his
way to leave.
He was cut short of his departure when a stream of heat
shot right beside his ear. His eyes startled when the wall in front of him
disintegrated in a bright yellow flash, leaving a gaping hole complete with
burn marks. The black haired boy turned around, his mouth agape.
The blond held in his shaking hands a rifle of sorts
attached to the device on his back, or more specifically, a ray gun. He was
panting hard, as if he had just performed a tiring physical feat.
There was an awkward silence between the two. Naruto
was still clinging to the hope that he was just utterly insane. He refused to
believe in ghosts. He was completely adamant of the subject. But there he was,
pointing a photon gun at the face of his delirium. Just what the hell was going
on?!
While Naruto was mentally screaming at himself, Sasuke
could only stare in wonder. He just shot
me! He just fucking shot me! His thoughts were filled with accusations, but
a greater part of him was deciding what that meant. He just shot me�like he wanted to get rid of me�like he knew where I
was at that moment. So does that mean�?
�Y-you can see me?� He whispered with a wince, already
thinking the question was preposterous. It wasn�t possible! Was it?
He tried moving closer to the blonde, who took a step
back.
�Don�t come any closer! Or I�ll shoot you!� The blonde
threatened, the grip on his weapon tightening. �I only missed that one time �cause I gave you the benefit of the doubt! I don�t want to
go to jail for murder!� It was the blonde�s turn to wince, mouthing a �What?�
Too
late for that. The
raven thought. Well I guess that answers
my question. He can obviously see me. Weird. But what
the hell does he mean by benefit of the doubt?
�What exactly do you mean by benefit of the doubt?� The
ghost voiced his thoughts, his eyes smoldering with curiosity. Why could this
boy see him when no one else has? His fascination caused him to move forward.
�I said stay back!� The blond growled, waving the
nozzle at him in warning.
Sasuke froze a foot from the blond, his eyes wide. He definitely didn�t want that strange heat
anywhere near him at the moment. ��If you say so.� He said, raising his hands in front of him
defensively. He wasn�t really sure if the blond could hear him. Being seen was
already too much to ask.
�Why is it that I can see right through you?� The
blonde asked nervously. Sweat was trickling down his temple, and a coldness was slowly enveloping him. I need to know. Even if he�s just a figment of my imagination, or just
someone who�s on WAY too much powder, I need to know! Great�I even sound crazy!
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. He pretended to think about
it, humming to himself. �Oh I don�t know, maybe it�s �cause I�m dead.� He got a
�you�d-so-look-better-holding-a-banana� smirk� for that one.
The blond paled at his response, weighing down his
options. The shivering blond had already lost the war when he did the one thing
that gave ghosts ultimate power; he blinked.
In that fraction of a second, Sasuke materialized right
in front of Naruto, who dropped the gun with a clang on the tile floor when he
gasped. Sasuke towered over the whimpering blond, even though he was probably
shorter than the boy.
Naruto was shaking violently; unable to bend down and
pick up his weapon as then he would have to touch the thing before him. His
heart was just wrenching to break from his chest and fly to the moon, where it
was safe. He found himself trapped by those horribly deep dark eyes, the only
part of him he couldn�t see through. He was amazed by the things he noticed
when all he wanted to do was piss his pants.
�You�re not real.� He found himself whispering,
surprising them both. �You�re just my imagination�you�re not real dammit!� He
felt so pathetic. He could almost sympathize with Kiba who knew terror on a
friendly basis. If he spoke it, maybe he�d believe it, but he didn�t.
I
don�t want to see you�even if you�re real I don�t want to see you�I don�t want
to see the dead! I don�t want to be like him!
Sasuke�s gaze was like a sheet of ice, leaving the
blond frozen where he stood, neither breaking eye contact. He can see and hear me! Who
is this kid? Why isn�t he running away? He�s not as afraid of me as he lets on�
I
like that.
�No, you can say that as much as you want. But its not
gonna change the fact that you are as intrigued by me as I am by you.� Sasuke
stated with all certainty, causing the blond to shiver.
�N-no!� He
sputtered, still looking up at the raven. �You�re lying! You�re just-�
�Why don�t we introduce ourselves.�
Sasuke interrupted, silencing the blond with a glare. Naruto backed up, his
legs feeling the bathtub. �My name is Sasuke. And I understand that you are
Naruto?�
Naruto gasped. �H-how did you-�
�Downstairs.� He supplied with a knowing smirk. �Your
friend says it a lot. The one who wears four layers of
underwear.� He almost snickered.
Has
to be Kiba. Naruto
thought. Comprehension sailed through him like a bullet. �Wait. That was you? Everything that happened down there?� He didn�t stutter that
time.
�No.� Sasuke corrected, inching closer. �I�m not the
only one trapped in this house. My friends enjoy playing pranks, as you may
have guessed, though I myself don�t really get into that stuff. You may have
noticed, but I�ve been merciful towards you. � His smile was warmer than his
eyes.
�Hehe�� Naruto chuckled
nervously, not really knowing what to say to that. And he was talking to a
ghost; he was surprised he had anything to say at all. �So�you�re not the haunting
type then?� His foot slinked inconspicuously under his gun.
�Not really. I�d rather keep them here.� Sasuke
whispered huskily. He had never spoken to a person before, not for as long as
he could remember, for there were plenty of holes in his memory. But he knew
one thing; he wanted to be around this boy. He didn�t want him to leave.
�Maybe if you said hello instead of giving them swirlies, they might decide to stay.� Naruto was quivering
in his boots, but he had to keep the conversation flowing. The spirit was more
talkative than he could have ever imagined. He rolled the gun on his boot,
ready to fling it to his grasp.
�You know, just a minute ago you denied my existence.
And now you�re practically warming up to me.� Sasuke whispered near the
blonde�s ear, cold vapor seeping from his dead colored lips. �Why is that?� He
hissed.
Naruto twitched, they were so close together. �You�re
real all right.� Naruto affirmed, backing up slightly. �But, unfortunately, I
don�t really appreciate being wrong.�
And with that said, the blond kicked the gun expertly
to his hands in less than a second and fired away, momentarily blinded by the
fierce blast of nuclear energy clouding before him. He had calibrated the range
too, making sure to decimate the entire room in one shot. Not even a pyre fly
could escape.
�Sayonara mother-fucker.�
The blond hissed and blew the nozzle as smoke coalesced to the ceiling.
He admired his work, almost everything, including the
toilet and the sink, was charred to black. Pieces of plaster were falling from
the ceiling and the doorway was now a big, blackened circle while the door
itself was just barely hanging off its hinges.
Naruto released a long-held breath and let his arms
fall. He collapsed to the lip of the tub and just sat there, mulling over what
just happened. He was strangely exhausted.
Okay�so
ghosts exist. Well so what? It�s only been nineteen years of abstinence. No big
deal�
Naruto sighed, rubbing his face in his hand. �I can�t
believe I can see them.� He looked up to the smoking doorway which he could
vaguely see with the still beeping PKE. He smirked as he recalled his
freakishly handsome acquaintance. �I hope I didn�t fry him too much.� He
prepared to get up and leave.
�You shouldn�t have blinked.�
The voice surprised him so much that he shrieked,
falling into the bathtub. Dust unsettled and roaches went on a rage on his
chest at the invasion. He groaned, having hit his head pretty hard. He was
completely awake upon noticing the roaches circling his front and shrieked
louder, batting them away. He hated insects.
Sasuke towered over him, arms crossed and looking awfully
smug for a dead person. �Did you seriously think that was going to work on me a
second time?� He inquired with amusement.
Once the pest problem was taken care of, he tried
getting back on his feet, but was prevented from doing so. The photon pack was
too damn heavy, like the shell of an upturned turtle. How humiliating.
Sasuke frowned; he didn�t like being ignored, especially
by the one human being who couldn�t ignore
him. �Oi! You okay down
there? You look a little stuck.�
Naruto, noticing the apparition for the first time,
glared hatefully at the ghost. �You�� He hissed, trying to wiggle his way out
of the tub to no avail.
�You better watch where you aim that thing next time.
You almost burned my ectoplasm off.� He leaned in closer, reveling in the
blonde�s surmounting rage and knowing that he
was causing it. He wasn�t used to making people feel anything other than
terror. �You look a little hot under the collar, so how�s about I cool you off hm?�
Before Naruto had a chance to retort, a cold spray
rained down from the rusty shower nozzle. The blond screamed in agony. Not only
was it zero degrees, but the water was practically sludge with all the grime it
amassed over the years.
�Damn fuck!!� Was all the blond could say at that point
as the dirty water went through his jacket and down his pants.
Not knowing why he hadn�t thought of it before, he
quickly released himself from the photon pack and leaped out of the tub. The
water ceased immediately as he made it out. Naruto stood there with a
combination of pants, shivers, and angry breaths. He�d been soaked for the
second time that morning and it was far worse than the first. The raven
actually had the audacity to stand before him, smirking triumphantly.
�So? You ready to play nice or will you test me
further?�
�What the fuck were you thinking?!� Naruto yelled
through his dirt soaked bangs. �If that hadn�t been waterproof,� He pointed to
the pack in the tub. �It would have decimated this entire house!�
Sasuke stared at him for a moment before shrugging
nonchalantly. �What does it matter? You�d merely die and I�d be set free.� He
shrugged again. �No skin off my bones.�
Naruto couldn�t believe what he was hearing. Why could
someone be dead and still have such an attitude?
He tightened his fists and grit
his teeth, allowing his anger to warm him up lest he catch a cold. �That�s it!
Funs over! I�m out of here! Good luck in hell!� He stormed right through the
stunned apparition, already having accepted the reality of what he was dealing
with.
Sasuke turned around as the blond trudged out of the
bathroom. Oh shit! Oh fuck! He�s leaving! God dammit I shouldn�t have
pushed him so hard! I just want to be friends
dammit!
�Naruto wait!� Sasuke yelled after the blond, hoping
beyond hope that Naruto would somehow pity him and come back.
The corridor was in complete blackness, but thankfully
he had already memorized the way to the stairs. He could hear Sasuke calling
out to him, but he plugged his ears with his fingers, drowning him out. �Do you
need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime�if love is blind, why is
lingerie so popular��
He continued to mutter out loud, purposefully ignoring
the ghost that was circling him like a hawk. �When you choke a smurf, what color does it turn�If it's tourist season, why
can't we sho�AAAHHH!!�
As he made it to the stairs, Naruto slipped on the
water he had been trailing and landed flat on his ass with an �Oomph!�
Unfortunately, he continued to slide down each step, his buttocks taking a
beating. �I-r-re-ealy-h-ha-te-th-i-s-s-h-o-ou-se�Oomph!�
Sasuke levitated at the top of the stairs, shaking his
head as he watched the blond get up painfully and rub at his butt with a hiss.
That must have hurt. No doubt his friends would have enjoyed watching that.
�Hey! You okay?�
All he got was a finger and Naruto continued on his way
out of the house, limping with each step he took.
Sasuke frowned darkly, for there was no way he was
gonna let the blond leave just yet. He would never get another chance, and by all
means he was gonna fight for it. He was dead, but he didn�t have to act like
it.
�Ow, ow,
ow, ow, ow��
Naruto expressed his pain loud and clear as he finally made it to the moonlit
room with all the furniture. His friends weren�t there, but the equipment still
was, so they must be outside.
He only made it halfway before getting knocked down mysteriously
by a chair. He howled in pain after landing back on his ass. �You gotta be
kidding me.� He hissed, massaging each cheek as he tried to crouch. As he did
so he saw the person sitting on the chair with his legs crossed and he growled.
�What is it gonna take for you to leave me alone?!� He yelled to the raven on
the floating chair.
Sasuke looked serious that time. �All I want is for you
to hear me ou-�
�No fucking way!� Naruto hollered and hurriedly got
back on his feet, being knocked down had actually fixed his spine so he could
walk again. He dodged the oncoming chair and stuck his tongue out. He ran to
the doorway, but was blocked by the ugly green couch. He didn�t expect someone
to be sitting on it that wasn�t Sasuke.
�Hello. It is very nice to meet you.� A particularly
large apparition greeted him with a gentle smile. Naruto raised an eyebrow.
�Please do not leave yet kind sir, for Master Sasuke has never enjoyed himself
the way he has this night and it is all thanks to you. Please do offer us more
of your time your time.� The fat ghost pleaded with clasped hands.
Sasuke nodded in approval behind Naruto, giving Jirobu a thumbs up.
Naruto merely frowned. �I�m sorry, but your Master Sasuke can go to hell for all I
care. So if you don�t mind.� Naruto jumped on the couch. With one hand on the
back, he leaped over it, yelling �tallyho!�
He landed on the hardwood with a thud, and was now only
a few steps from the doorway. As if by magic, the fallen door erected itself
before his eyes and sealed the entrance.
Naruto rolled his deep blue eyes in annoyance.
God this kid is
desperate! But if this is the only way he can think off to get me to stay, then screw him! I�ve had enough of the undead for one night.

��.
Kiba was weighing a particularly heavy piece of rock at
that time. �Hey Shino? Do you think Naruto would mind
if we bust his windshield?� The brunette gestured to the still gyrating
automobile by the road.
Shino didn�t find it worthy of a response.
Both their heads swiveled to the familiar sound of
breaking wood and found Naruto running down the porch. I thought he already broke the door down the first time? Shino
thought with curiosity, but then turned to their possessed van and all
curiosity was lost. Like anything should
surprise me anymore.
�Oi Naruto! Where you been?�
Kiba called as Naruto ran by. �And why are you all wet?�
The blond didn�t even give him a passing glance as he
roughly pulled the keys out from the passenger lock and strode to the driver�s
side.
Shino was surprised when the van suddenly stopped
moving, but he still felt the need to warn the blond. �Naruto!
I don�t think that�s a good-�
He shut up abruptly when Naruto effortlessly opened the
door and got in the driver�s side, turning on the engine hastily. The two boys
outside could only gape as the blond opened the passenger door, beckoning them
both to hop aboard impatiently. �What the hell are you two waiting for?! Get
in!�
The two boys shared a �what the hell� look, shocked
beyond all reason.
�Well?!�
Naruto�s eyes were desperate for them to get in.
Kiba wasted no time in dropping the rock in his hands
and rushing to the passenger�s side. Shino slid the side door open, surprised
that it did so so easily. Akamaru woofed in relief
and leaped to the seat beside Shino and he shut the door.
Naruto released the brake, and as he did so his eyes
wandered passed Kiba and to the dark-haired teen standing on the porch.
What
is it you want from me?
Shaking his head, Naruto immediately stepped on the
pedal and zoomed off, oblivious of the many neighbors grumbling out of their
doorways in their pajamas.
�So we�re not going to get our equipment?� Shino
reluctantly asked.
�Who cares? Who�s gonna take them anyway?� Naruto said
angrily behind the wheel.
Oh
I don�t know�maybe those who�d have an interest for expensive machinery
equipped with radioactive isotopes that if put together would be enough to wipe
out ten city blocks, was what he wanted to say. But the almost
insane glint in the blonde�s eyes kept him from discussing it further. How the
hell were they going to explain this to the boss?
Kiba was fiddling with the seams of his jacket, still
affected by what had happened. He wrinkled his nose at the foul stench
radiating off their blond comrade. �Geez Naruto! What the hell happened to
you?� he explained, holding his nose. �D�you swim in a toilet or something?�
Naruto tensed, his grip on the steering wheel
tightening. �You could say that,� was his barely audible response.
�Naruto, what happened in there?� Shino inquired
tentatively. Something had to have happened; he was soaked down to the boot
after all. And he hadn�t even been aware of what was happening to his van.
Naruto visibly sobered, his expression drawing blanks.
�Nothing happened okay. So just let it go.�
Kiba wasn�t having it however. �Oh don�t give us that shit!
And I mean that literally �cause dog, you smell like shit!�
�I said let it go.� Naruto seethed, passing Kiba a
glare before turning back to the road.
The brunette crossed his arms, pouting like a child. �Fine! Be that way! But I�m not telling you what happened
while you were gone!� He whined.
Naruto frowned. �Why? What happened while I was gone?�
�Oh you won�t believe it!� Kiba sat on his thighs
facing Naruto. �It�s like it was spring break right here in the van!� His eyes
surveyed the environment cautiously.
�What do you mean?�
Kiba breathed in irritation. �What I mean is that this
van was haunted!� He shrieked at his own words.
Naruto raised a brow at his hyperactive friend. �What
does the van being haunted have anything to do with spring break?� He sincerely
couldn�t make the connection.
Shino sighed, and leaned in closer to the front. �I�ll
take it from here since obviously; Inuzuka is incapable of producing a coherent
testimony.� He narrowed his shades at the brunette, who pouted heavily. �What
he was trying futilely to say was that, when we went outside, we found the van
to be a lot more energetic than when we had left it.�
Naruto remained silent.
�Our initial thought was that of a case of grand theft
auto, but that was strange since they never attempted to take the van, just
having their fun and leaving the music as loud as possible.�
Kiba cringed, and Akamaru leaped to his lap, wanting to
be petted.
�I checked to see if there was anyone inside the van. And there wasn�t.�
A foreboding silence constricted around the three boys.
�And Kiba screamed like a little girl.�
�Hey!� the brunette recovered from his fright, as the
tension seeped away. �That was VERY uncalled for!�
Naruto ignored his two mates, arguing as they usually
did. His knuckles turned white from the force he was holding the wheel. A dark
look came over him for the only thought he had in his mind�
Sasuke�
�We�re coming back tonight.�
�WHAT?!�
Both boys exclaimed. Naruto nearly collided with a motorcycle.
�B-but why?�
Kiba sputtered. �Isn�t one night enough? I mean, we already know the place is
haunted, and that�s a fact. Why do we need to go back?!�
The brunette was desperate. He had come that
close to wetting his boxers again.
�Because we can�t leave without our
equipment.� Shino stated point blank.
�But that�s not the whole reason isn�t it?� Naruto
asked gravely.
Shino shook his head. �Don�t you see? The house is
engulfed in the paranormal. And I�m not speaking for Naruto since he refuses to
tell his account, but we have all witnessed it.�
Naruto remained impassive.
�We need to gather evidence and to analyze the vicinity
as deeply as possible. And we need more equipment.� He could barely hold his
excitement, though in normal standards, he appeared mildly intrigued.
Kiba started banging his head on the dashboard, not at
all sharing in Shino�s enthusiasm. Plus he couldn�t quit, he didn�t want to
disappoint his mates. You could say he was already in too deep.
Naruto didn�t know what to say, so he didn�t say
anything, or else he�d have to tell
them what happened. Though initially, he had been livid towards the situation
solely because it forced him to change his convictions, which were now
glaringly false. But there was another thing now, the one thing he was afraid to get involved in.
Sasuke�the spirit who seemed more
dead than he wanted to be.
Even when he was
threatening me and backing me towards a corner, why did his eyes look so sad?

��.

The three paranormal exterminators separated upon
arriving at their dorms. Shino and Kiba both lived on the first floor, though
they didn�t share a room, Shino was very finicky about
roommates. Especially those who of smelled of dog hair and with equal table
manners. How he had managed to nab the heiress to the Hyuuga Dynasty for a
girlfriend, no one knew.
They briefly discussed to meet at exactly midnight by
the van, much to Kiba�s agony and Naruto�s unease. When that was out of the
way, Naruto proceeded to his room on the fourth floor.
It finally occurred to him that he really did smell
like death, and when Kiba found his
stench unflattering, then he should have known that it was bad.
Disgruntled and exhausted, Naruto went straight to the
bathroom, bathing in his clothes before undressing and coming out in a towel.
He would need to go to his room to get his toothbrush.
He smirked when he saw the remnants of a party in one
of the rooms, where the door was wide open. People were slung over couches and
huddled on the floor; most of them were still holding plastic cups. He noticed
a green figure, unconscious and with a lampshade over his head.
Damn.
That Lee can party!
Shaking his head and chuckling, he marveled at how
quickly his mood could swing. He was glad he could think of something beside
the ghost named Sasuke.
Damn.
Gripping his towel tightly, he proceeded to his room.
His mood spoiled once more when he recalled that he left his keys in his pants,
the same pair he left in a locker.
He sighed and knocked, hoping his roommate was still
there. It was only four in the morning, but his roommate was just weird like
that.
�Hey Sai!
Open up! It�s me, your boy toy!� He joked, chuckling again.
He almost fell to the floor when the door flew open as
he had been leaning on it. A hand wrapped around the back of his neck and he
was pulled roughly inside, the door slammed closed behind him.
The blond groaned as he was slammed against the door. �Sai! What -� He was silenced when hungry lips clamped unto
his own, a tongue immediately reaching for his tonsils. A hand raked through
his damp blond hair and a knee parted his towel covered legs.
Sai�s tongue circled around his gums, making his own
tongue cower at the attack. His muscled tensed when the other boy slammed his
body into his, bringing him off with his pelvis as he gyrated against his
groin.
The kiss became deeper, hungrier, manlier, and Naruto
had absolutely no say in it. There was a moan within the kiss, and it could
have belonged to either of them. Naruto�s fists remained at his sides, he
didn�t need to participate.
The heat left his lips after a few moments and Sai�s
coal black eyes locked with his own. The boys panted in unison, both equally
out of breath. Naruto�s blue eyes were glazed, but Sai�s remained feral and
aggressive. Despite himself, the dark-haired boy gave the blond some room, separating.
Sai backed up a step and smirked, reveling in Naruto�s
taste. �Good morning.� He greeted huskily.
�Hi.� Naruto reciprocated, still flat against the wall,
his naked chest rising and falling with the beat of his lungs.
�So.�
Sai leaned close, breathing against the sexy blonde�s ear. �Anything?�
When it finally dawned on him what
exactly that was about, Naruto pushed the taller boy away from him as he made
his way to the shelf. �Nope,� was his answer.
�Nothing?�
Sai demanded dejectedly.
�Nada.� It
seemed that Naruto was ignoring the other boy as he reached for the various
things on his shelf.
�So you�re saying that I was once again unable to make
your mind soar and your heart flutter?� Sai crossed his arms, leaning on one
leg, looking like a kicked puppy.
Naruto paused briefly to think about it. �You know I
think there was a bit of fluttering in my stomach for a second there.� His
finger met his chin, and then shrugged, walking to the dresser. �I�ll probably
just take an antacid for that.�
Sai frowned, knowing rejection when he heard it. �Oh har har.
Very funny. Take pleasure in my failure.� The brunette
dismally marched to his bed and plopped on it.
Naruto looked over his shoulder, holding a pair of
boxers in his hand. �Oh cheer up Sai. There�s still tomorrow, and the how many
days after that. Lots of time for me to fall in love with
you.� Naruto made a gagging sound, depressing Sai further. �How many
more do we have anyway?� He asked, rummaging through his underwear.
�Exactly one-hundred and sixty-five kisses remaining.�
Sai sat cross-legged on his bead, watching the blond haired stud change. �I�ll
make sure to stuff my mouth with miso ramen tomorrow,
that way, there�s no way you can resist me.� He smirked.
�Whatever works for you Sai.�
Naruto dropped the towel. Sai watched with eyes of longing as he changed
quickly into his boxers.
The dark-eyed brunette was still planning on how he
could win the beautiful blond over. Though he had one-hundred and sixty-five
kisses left, time was still running out. Months ago he had saved Naruto from a
potentially life threatening situation. Meaning, if Sai hadn�t been there, the
blond would have surely met his grave. Naruto promised to do whatever he asked
after that, and his demand was a year�s worth of kisses, one kiss everyday for
three-hundred sixty-five days.
His intent was to make Naruto fall in love with him,
but sadly, it didn�t seem to be working. He wasn�t sure if Naruto was even gay,
though he had been determined to change that, once upon a time.
�How was ghost hunting? Anything
new?� Sai asked.
Naruto tensed in closing the drawer, and then shook his
head. Sai had noticed the hesitation. �Um, the usual. Same old, same old. Hehe�though I
have to admit, it was more interesting than usual.� He collapsed unto his bed,
face down.
�Oh? Do tell.� Sai inched closer.
�Come on Sai! I�m tired! Why aren�t you sleeping yet?� He grumbled past his
pillow, wanting nothing more than to change the subject.
Sai quirked a brow, Naruto had been far too quick with
his response. He just shrugged it off. �Oh you know. I don�t sleep when the
mortals creep.� He stated in a crypt keeper imitation.
Naruto snickered. �Emo
bitch.� He turned to his back, gazing at the ceiling.
Sai could only stare at his admiration for so long
before getting painfully sure that there was something wrong with him,
something on his mind. He was almost never so; subdued.
�Well, Naruto, you know my offer still stands. If
things are too dull, I can always sign up.� He laid down himself, reaching for
the light.
�So you can grope me to distraction? No
way!�
�You never know Naruto, maybe you�d learn to like it.�
He pulled on the cord and the lights went out.
Naruto laughed out loud, pulling the covers over
himself. �In your dreams Sai.�
�All the time Naruto, all the time.�
Sai yawned and buried himself in his sheets after setting his alarm to a
reasonable hour of two. �Night dickless.�
He yawned.
�Night pervert.�
Naruto turned to the wall, closing his eyes
In only a few moments he was able to hear the even
breathing of his roommate as he drifted to sleep. Naruto remained awake, just
staring at the wall as his thoughts denied him rest.
He turned over to face Sai, noticing how much he looked
like Sasuke. His jaw was of a different shape, but everything else was almost
identical. If he were to place a rooster on the dark-haired pervert�s head,
then he�d pretty much have Sasuke�s long lost brother.
Naruto groaned, when all he wanted to do was go to sleep
and put the night behind him, he couldn�t stop thinking about Sasuke. How
miserable, how needy, how desperate those eyes seemed. How could someone who
was dead have so much life left in his eyes? Or at least a
desire for life.
He no longer thought of the blasphemy of seeing the
dead. But more so he thought of his father as well as Sasuke. The image of his
dad alone ignited a fire in his heart, one of deepest loathing, for he hated
the legacy he left behind.
He feared the chance of seeing the unseen, for he
wanted nothing to be like his father.
I
don�t want to see the dead�but I guess there�s nothing I can do about that now.
A tear trickled down his cheek, like many nights before
after Sai had saved him from death, and his life changed for the worse.
I don�t mind seeing
Sasuke�I really don�t�but God help me if that makes me a monster.

Just like him.

��.

It was an hour after four that Sasuke found himself in
Naruto�s room. He had never been anywhere outside the old house, so it was
quite an experience for him.
The spirit crawled through the shafts of moonlight
seeping through the window. The moon was about to depart, but he took advantage
of the darkness to find out what he had been asking himself for hours.
He surveyed the room with coal black eyes. It was just
like any other dorm of the USA, not like he had ever been in one. He narrowed
his eyes at the boy curled on one of the beds, glaring hatefully at the
unwelcome brunette.
He ignored the other boy, not deeming him worth his
time, and went airily to Naruto�s bedside. If he had breath, he would have lost
it. If he had a heart, it wouldn�t have stopped beating. If he had blood, it
would have went straight to his cheeks�or somewhere
else. He didn�t need any of those things to know that the beauty before him
would have taken his breath away.�
He lowered himself to watch the blond breathe, wishing
so much to share in the other�s precious breath. Naruto was beautiful,
absolutely perfect. If he had known, he would have never allowed him to leave.
He would have kept him locked in the house where he would talk to him and
listen to him and see him for all eternity.
If only he hadn�t given the blond a swirlie,
he would have known.
His perfect blond hair took a particular shine straight
from the moonlight, a dazzling glow that left him hungry for its light. Even
the boy�s brows and lashes were just as elegant,
darker than his head of hair. His skin was also perfect, not sallow or pale
like his would have been, but completely golden, a shade that screamed life.
Even the pairs of scars on his cheeks made him look greater than the world,
beyond human.
Sasuke had never looked at a person that way before,
never seen them with such awe. He was so used to the terror and the fear which
was all he could do with the living. Naruto had never been afraid of him, he
was afraid of something, but it had never been him.
His eyes narrowed gently as he lowered his hand to the
blonde�s hair in a loving gesture. He wasn�t surprised when his hand went right
through, not feeling the softness that he longed to feel.
Naruto�s breath hitched in his sleep and whimpered,
shifting from the strange sensation. He wasn�t surprised that Naruto could feel
him; he was after all made of vapor as well as soul.
It didn�t take him long to decide that Naruto was
special, so very special, and he did the best he could of running his fingers
through blond locks.
�Not only can you see me,� Sasuke whispered, allowing
his ghostly breath to sail to Naruto�s cheek; his version of a kiss. �But I can
be with you. Wherever you are. Don�t you think that�s
strange?� He asked, his voice faltering.
Naruto responded with a whimper, turning away from him.
�I don�t know what you are to me, but I�m willing to
learn, willing to know why you are able to do this to me. Maybe I knew you when
I was alive, maybe you knew me. But I know that somehow I am destined for you.�
Sasuke laughed sardonically, not really believing what he had just said. �If
you�ve lived, or not lived, the way I have, you start to hope in things. I know
hope is a flimsy little string, but I�d rather it break than not use it at all.
I hope to live.�
And
maybe God will have mercy on me this time.
As Sasuke continued to pour out the heart he used to
have to the sleeping blond, a light magnified behind him, enveloping the room
in an ocean of light straight from heaven itself. He turned his head, though
not really seeing who had disturbed his moment, but whatever it was, he blamed
God for it.
The figure approached him in robes of flowing ivory,
barely seeing him as its eyes scanned Naruto, though the angel knew he had been
there all along.
�Good
morning Sasuke. What are you doing with my son?�
