Kaoru sighed as she continued to stand next to the windowsill. Quietly, she tore her gaze from the city's buildings and lights over to Sano. He was watching her, grinning as his words hung in the air.
"I'll do it," she finally said.
Sano let out a sound of approval and jumped up from where he was seated. "That's the Kaoru I know!"
The said girl rolled her eyes. "Where is this place, anyway?"
"Somewhere in Japan…" Sano scratched his temple. "I'm not sure exactly, Misao has the location. Ask her."
"And who's coming with me? When am I leaving?"
The rooster-head laughed at her questions. "Slow down, missy. Misao and I are going to be with you-"
Kaoru bristled. "You mean I'm going to have a hyper active 15 year old in a 20 year old's body near me while I'm in that damned place? And you, of all people?! Isn't there anyone else that-"
"There will be a few people that live around there, and they can help us out. C'mon, Kaoru… loosen up. It's gonna be fun." Sano smiled. "Oh, and since you said you'd agree so early, we're leaving tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow night? But I still need to pack and get ready-"
"I'm sure Misao's already gone through 2 of your suitcases with packing… all you have to do is get ready."
Kaoru growled as she marched to the door. "Great. You're lucky I love you guys, or else I already would of bashed your heads in. Better yet, I'll do it when we get to that place…" She paused and turned towards Sano. "What's it called anyway?"
Sano let out another grin and rose his hands up, a poor attempt to look spooked as his eyes widened. "The Himura Mansion!"
The 21 year old nodded slowly. "Right… that's not scary, Sano." She opened the door and walked out of the room, leaving a sulking Sanosuke behind.

One day later, Kaoru sat at her desk, looking over information about this 'Himura Mansion'.
Given to the Himura heir, Shinta Himura in 1843. In his young age of 28, Shinta did well in keeping the mansion in good shape, and every so often he would invite over 100 guests for a grand ball.
A ball? What kind of mansion was this? Kaoru sipped more at her drink. To her, this all sounded like a loud of useless nothings…
In the year 1847, Shinta held one of the most well-known "parties" in all of Japan. The guests were too many to count. And on that night, Shinta had brutally murdered every one of them, including family.
Kaoru choked. How can a simple man murder all those people? Forget useless nothings! This is bull!
She read on with an accusing look on her face. After that, he disappeared? Sano probably wrote this to try and scare her. It was poorly written anyway. Not bothering to read on, she shoved the papers in her folder. She may be someone who loves exploring haunted places, but please… this was just too much.
Kaoru's head shot up at the sound of knocking. "C'mon, missy, we're leaving now."
Oh? The rooster head wanted to play like that? Kaoru smirked. "Sure thing. And if anything happens to my bags," Kaoru opened the door and glared at Sano. "I'm going to murder everyone on that plane!"
Sano looked at her, confused. "Uhh… sure thing, Kaoru…" He helped her carry her suitcases.
The short woman sighed. Of all the haunted places she's been to, this is by far the phoniest…
Phew. Kaoru seems a bit negative about this, huh:( Makes me sad. Anyway, this is an idea I got from a dream. And my other soon to be out one-shot will be from an idea my friend gave me. It involves handcuffs…. Muahaha. Okay, seriously though. You all read… now, review? This one I'm actually going to update, since I have my own laptop now. Yay! No one to ever disturb my writing time or do something to my documents!!! Sadly though, it's school property… but still mine… I have it home… (Wishes she had a computer chair to spin in)
