Kid trudged downstairs, looking like a giant wreck. As he entered the kitchen a loud explosion sounded. Peering through the veil of hair that covered his face, he saw the familiar long sleeved maroon shirt on the woman cooking.

"Mother... please don't use explosives." He sighed, scratching his head. The woman jumped and turned around to stare at her son.

"OH HI KIDDO~!" Yew yelled, throwing her hands up in surprise. "I CAN USE ALL THE EXPLOSIVES I WANT TO COOK MAH TOAST!"

"Mother-"

"END OF CONVOSATION!" She yelled, spinning in circles.

"Mother why do you always say that?" Kid asked, looking at the woman in front of him. She looked exactly like he did, she even had three white stripes in her hair. She was supposed to have killed herself years ago, when she began falling into madness, but somehow she's still alive.

"OH MY GAWD! YOU LOOK HORRIBLE KIDDO~!" She yelled.

"Yew-chan, please stop yelling!" Shinigami said, walking in to join them and stopping to look at Kid."Kiddo~! Wow you look terrible..."

"So I've heard..."Kid mumbled

"Ah. I see your mother told you already?" Shinigami said.

"I TOLD HIM FIRST, SHINIGAMI BOY~!" Yew yelled, pointing at her husband.

"STOP YELLING!" Shinigami ordered her.

"I CAN YELL AS LONG AS I WANT!" Yew retorted. Kid watched what happened next with a bored expression. Shinigami grabbed Yew and they started making out.

"Kid, tell your parents to stop making out!" Liz said, covering Patty's eyes as she walked in.

"I tried, I failed, and I got hit with a frying pan..." Kid told Liz.

~Later that night~

It was dark outside, clouds hiding the bloody moon. Somewhere a clock chimed, announcing that it was midnight, the haunting hour. Foot steps echoed along empty halls, light laughter resounded, the laughter of children. Kid woke to the sounds of some one in his room, he guessed that is was probably Liz or Patty. It was more than likely to be Patty since she always came to talk about giraffes when she couldn't sleep. "Go away...It's midnight and I'm tired." Kid muttered one replied, but he could sense a presense in the room.

Sitting up he found himself face to face with a whispy form of a girl in a bloody kimono. She had a red aura, that writhed as she extended one arm out towards Kid's face. Kid's eyes never left hers. They looked exactly like the pair the kishin had. The phantom's hand brushed against Kid's face, and she leaned closer as if inspecting him. Kid couldn't move, he couldn't make a sound, and he held his breath, nervously. This ghost had to leave soon right? The aura around her was enough to scare him, but she looked like the Kishin Asura.

After what felt like ages the ghost pulled back, and Kid decided to run. He leapt out of bed, ran across the dark room, and out the door, screaming. He ran down the hall and turned a corner, stopping abruptly. He fell back, and looked up at two children surrounded by a blue aura. Their clothes were soaked in blood, they couldn't have been older than five years old. The boy had deep gashes on his shoulders, along his arms, and across his neck. The girl's head appeared to have been cut off and sewn back on and she had a large hole where her stomache would've been.

Kid stared at the children in horror, pulling back when they reached out to him. "Onii-chan...wiwl chu pway wit us Onii-chan?" The boy whispered, blood dripping from his open mouth.

"Yes, Onii-chan...Let's pway Kagome, Kagome..." The girl whispered. The children approached Kid, who frantically crawled away from them. Kid's back brushed against someones legs. A small girl with purple hair stood behind him, holding a bloodied stuffed bat. She had an unusally large stitch going through her face, which looked as though it had been beaten horribly. Her cheeks were stained with bloody tears that dripped from her eyes. Kid scrambled to his feet and tried to run only to come face to face with a boy about nine years old. An axe was stuck in his head and his eyes had been torn out so all you saw were the blackness of the empty eye sockets.

Kid tried to run the other way, but was stopped by the two children. Another way was blocked by the girl with the stuffed bat, while the only place left to run was blocked by the first ghost he met. They all formed a circle around him and moved closer, causing him to fall back. Kid stared up at them as they approached chanting,"Kagome, Kagome."

Kid closed his eyes and covered his ears."It's just a dream, it's just a dream." Meanwhile the ghosts chanted louder. Kid curled up on the ground, he could hear them as if they were speaking in his mind. He could tell he was crying, but this was to much. Not only were these children, mostly younger, but their fear reflected in their lifeless eyes. The fear of their murderers still showed.

"GO AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kid shrieked, clutching his head. He closed his eyes tightly.

"KID! OI! CALM IT KIDDO!" Yew yelled, shaking him. Kid forced his eyes open to see Yew, Liz, Patty, and Shinigami. Yew had a worried look on her face while she stared into his eyes. Her pumpkin eyes were filled with confusion, tiredness, and worry."It's okay Kiddo. It's okay, I promise." Yew hugged Kid tightly. After Kid had calmed down, he scanned the area for the ghosts. When he saw nothing he was confused, he remembered being surrounded by ghosts moments ago. He apologized to everyone and went back to bed.

Climbing into the covers he barely heard the soft whispers of small children,"Patty cake, patty cake, bakers man. Let's go back to where it all began..."

I just HAD to make eight dots at the end of the last line. Lol. Kid would've flipped his lid otherwise. Well, hope you enjoyed it. We'll be making ch.2 soon...
