Summary...

When Rin's friends force her to go to the famous haunted Takahashi Manor for a television show, she's not very happy. And things go from weird to worst as ghost began to chant her name and the road becomes blocked. Will they even make it out of the manor alive? Or will those floating golden eyes, that are now constantly watching her, have their own way?

"Come on Rin, it's going to be so cool." Mia said with a smile.

"Yeah, two nights at the Takahashi Manor, just us, the spirits and the Ouija Board." Sakura said as she patted the superstitious Rin on the back.

"You guys are insane! You're willing to be locked in that place for a full 48 hours for a documentary?" Rin asked frantically. She believed in ghosts of course, but that didn't mean she wanted to meet one.

"Don't be such a baby! And besides if we participate you'll have enough money to get that laptop you've been saving up for…" Mia said pulling out her bait.

"But…"

"No buts Rin. And we get these really cool kimonos, you know to get in the feel. Free clothes and a laptop, how can you say no?" Sakura asked as she pulled out her last resort, the puppy dog eyes.

"It's haunted! I don't want to contact the spirit realm! Why can't you ask someone who isn't a chicken?" Rin asked with pleading eyes. "Like your kid brother or better yet Ms. Rene, I'm sure she would enjoy the trip…"

"No, I'm done asking. You're going and that's final. And if you be good I'll buy out half the flower shop in your honor…" Mia said. Rin nodded sadly as her two friends smiled at her. "Great! Pack everything you'll need and we'll pick you up tonight! I have to call Toni and Takeshi and tell them that we got you!" Mia smiled as she pulled out her cell phone and started to happily chat away.

"Rin, maybe you should do some research before we get there. You know, so you won't be so scared…" Sakura said.

"I guess but that might do the complete opposite. I'll see you guys tonight! Bye!" Rin called back as she turned into her driveway. Rin walked into her house and was greeted with a soft purr. "Hey Kirara, Sango's not home yet? She's probably out beating up Miroku again…"

Rin sighed and dropped her things off in the kitchen. Sango was her older sister and guardian. She was currently dating Miroku who had a cursed hand and mind. Some might argue that his body was cursed too because it kept receiving bruises from her sister. Rin smiled as she found a letter confirming her suspicions. Sango was out with Miroku again and wouldn't be home until late that night.

Rin made her way toward her room and pushed the door open. "Hi Kohaku…" Rin said to a picture of her brother on her desk. He was dressed in army attire and was smiling brightly. He had gone missing in the war, that had been three years ago. Rin sighed and looked to a picture of her mother and father.

"Hi mom and dad, did you guys have good days today?" Rin asked and soft replies murmured in her head. "That's wonderful." Rin's parents had passed away in a car crash. She had been young but she could still remember them.

She turned to her computer and waited for it to start up. Ten minutes later she was on the internet looking up information on the Takahashi's. About five minutes later just as the page was about to come up her computer went berserk.

"Oi, what's with all the smoke?" Rin asked Kirara who was staring inquisitively at Rin's computer. "I told Sango a computer from the Stone Age would never work all year long… This is just great what am I supposed to do now?" Rin asked as she opened her window so the smoke could clear her room.

Rin sighed heavily and lay across her bed as Kirara curled up by her side. "Maybe I should take a nap before I'm kidnapped and scared half to death…" Rin muttered as her eyes closed and within a few moments she was sleeping.

Rin shivered slightly in her sleep and the windows closed of their own accord. Her blanket then folded itself over her. Rin muttered some incoherent words and smiled softly. The transparent distorted image of a man with silver hair dressed in white flashed in the room. He bent over slowly and brushed his lips against Rin's forehead which caused her to blush in her sleep. Then just as quickly as he appeared he disappeared.
