Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, just this random plot bunny.
I know I'm supposed to be writing the next chapter of M.A.M but inspiration and crazy, evil plot bunnies breed in your mind and demand to be written/typed and posted.
This is what happens when your parents and you watch Haunted Collector and Ghost Hunters all the time and your over-active imagination turns all of it into a slight AU Naruto story. ^.^'
Chapter 1: The Mansion
The two young kunoichi were being showed a beautiful old mansion that had just been put back on the market. "It's so beautiful! Look at it, Sukoshi!" Sakura was along only because they would be sharing it for now; she just wanted, and needed, a place to crash. "Why would the owners put it back on the market? And so soon after buying it as well." The woman showing them the mansion seemed nervous and jumped slightly at every small noise. SLAM! "AAAAHH!" The woman jumped about a foot off the ground. Angel gave her the best 'cool, unimpressed' look she could. "Alright lady," she started, "It's time to answer some questions. Why was this place put back up for sale only a week after the new owners bought it? And why did you jump and scream when I slammed the cabinet?" She gasped, "Y-you slammed i-it?" "Yes, now answer my questions." She swallowed hard and began to stutter a little bit. "W-well, I guess they didn't r-really like it after all." "Why is it so cheap?" The woman looked at Sakura, "B-because they really didn't l-like it…?"
Angel watched the woman closely, "Why did you jump?" "B-because," she started to glance around like a paranoid schizophrenic, "It w-was a sudden noise a-and I didn't e-expect it." "Uh-huh…now try the truth." Her stuttering got worse, "I a-am t-t-t-telling t-the t-tr-ruth." Angel gave her the best death glare she had. "Tell…me…the…truth…or else…" She spoke slowly so the woman understood that she was dead serious. "I AM!" The woman sounded desperate now. Angel sighed, "Fine." She turned to Sakura. "This is the one, nee-chan?" Sakura nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! It's absolutely lovely!" Angel nodded, "Alright, "she turned to the woman, "We're buying it." The woman nodded, "Of course. We'll get the paperwork filled out at my office." The woman nearly ran out of the house with Sakura hot on her heels with excitement. Angel followed at a more sedate pace. She stopped before the sunlight in the doorway illuminated the front of her boots. She turned and looked back. "Huh…" She did a double take. "I could've sworn I saw something…oh well." She turned and continued back to the older, waiting females, closing the door behind her.

"Ok, the mansion is now all yours! Thank you for the business ladies." "You're welcome!" chirped Sakura who then skipped off. "I'm going to start transporting our stuff there, ok Sukoshi?" "Yeah, that's fine." As soon as Sakura was out the front doors Angel turned back to her. "Seriously, why? Why so cheap, I mean 200,000 for a mansion is a steal, so why? (A.N: I don't know hardly anything about houses and their pricings but I'm pretty sure that it's ridiculously low-as I wanted it- so whatever) Why were you so jumpy? Why did they return it to the market so soon? I don't care what you tell me, I just want the truth." The woman glanced around before leaning forward. "Fine, I'll tell you but you have to keep it quiet, alright?" Angel nodded. "Ok, the truth is the owners think the mansion is haunted. Footsteps, slamming doors and cabinets, cold spots, the whole shebang. That's why I jumped and screamed when you slammed the door." Angel stood and nodded, "Thanks for the truth." She stopped in the doorway, her back still facing the woman. "Oh, and I didn't slam the door." She walked out trying to smother her laughing as the woman began to freak out.
