Just a short and kinda pointless Halloween oneshot... hope ya like it. :p

Hallow's Eve

There had been rumors about an abandoned mansion on the sacred grounds of ancient Fuka. Some say that on Halloween, strange things would happen there. Few students would glance at the principal and the Graceful Amethyst nervously before fleeing. This had concerned them. It only seemed to happen after every Halloween when the students trespassed on the sacred grounds.

Such stories had aroused the curiosity in a certain Gakuenchou and she had been persuaded to capture the experiences at the old mansion.

Shizuru, unfortunately, had to decline the invitation. She had to chaperone a Halloween party back at the academy.

Zhang had decided to tag along out of boredom and just to see if the rumors were true.

"There it is. Let's go. Be ready to cough up 50 bucks," the brave principal grinned at the redheaded Otome.

Zhang just scoffed, "Yeah, right. Now give me that flashlight, I can't see a damned thing here."

"Just shut up and follow the light. You'll be fine," Natsuki barked back and trailed up the road towards a large mansion built in stone. All the lights were out as expected.

Both girls stopped at the front steps, looking at the door then each other.

"…Well, you open it first." Both said in unison.

"Pfft. You're the one who made the bet, YOU open it, mutt." Nao glowered at the older woman and made an attempt to grab the flashlight only to have her hand slapped away.

"Fine, coward." The gakuenchou huffed and cautiously stepped towards the door and grabbed the doorknob. Surprisingly, for a mansion that had been abandoned for years, the door was unlocked.

The hinges on the door groaned and squeaked loudly as the door swung open all the way. Curious viridian hues peered into the darkness of the lobby and shone the light along the way. She could see heavy layers of dust caked on everything. It made Natsuki wonder how long the mansion had stood here for. Probably centuries.

"Well, looks like there's nothing here. Gimmeh that 50 bucks."

Natsuki smirked as she looked over at Nao, "Scared already? We haven't even went far in yet. Get your ass in here before I punt it."

"Ugh. Fuck you, Kruger," Nao snidely remarked and stepped in close behind the principal.

"No thanks. Only Shizuru can do that."

"Ew, god. Are you trying to scar me for life?" The redhead shuddered in disgust and glanced around, slightly timid.

Suddenly, a sound stopped them dead in their tracks.

Classical music.

It was coming distinctly from a room just down the hall from the girls. Warily, they both slowly inched towards the double doors. Even though they kept quiet, they couldn't hear anything but their own heartbeats frantically pounding in their ears.

"W-what's that… do you hear that?"

"Shh!" the bluette hissed softly and pressed her ear up against the door.

She could hear footsteps moving around rhythmically. It was as if they were dancing along to the music.

The song sounded familiar. It was something that Shizuru would enjoy.

Not being able to contain her curiosity any further, Natsuki silently slid the double doors open and peeked in.

To her surprise, the room appeared empty… but the footsteps kept on. Even the music kept playing.

"Alright, this is starting to creep me out… there's no one in he--" Suddenly Nao fell silent and gulped.

"…Nao?" Slightly concerned, the older woman looked back over her shoulder and became even more worried when she saw the pale face staring up ahead in shock.

All of sudden, the redhead spun on her heel and dashed out the door without warning.

"What the!? Nao!! What the hell did you see?!"

With no answer from Nao, she swallowed hard and peered back in the room. Still, she saw nothing so she squinted her eyes and slowly stalked into the room.

Goosebumps immediately pricked along her arms as two transparent figures came in view. They were moving gracefully around the ballroom and seemed to pay the intruder no attention.

'What the…'

Squinting even harder, she tried to capture a glimpse of the figures' faces and paled when she saw their faces clearly.

Without a word or a single scream, the principal fled the mansion in the same fashion Nao did.

Back in the ballroom…

"Say, who was that?" A low and husky voice murmured softly, as if they wished not to interrupt the sounds of the classical music filling the room.

"Ah, just some kids poking around like they always do on Hallow's Eve. Pay them no attention and dance with me, my love." A woman in her early 20's smiled genuinely at her companion. The smile seemed to provoke a light blush out of the other.

"Bah, those stories are starting to become tiresome… I just want to be with you without any interruptions, dammit."

"Fufu, do I sense agitation from my little cuddle pup?"

"Quiet, Fujino. Let's have one last dance before the evening is over." The girl with pale green eyes silenced the other with a kiss.

"Hai, hai… Happy Halloween, my dear Natsuki."

The ghosts continued to dance together, to love each other and share few last laughs before they disappeared by dawn's light.

-Fin-

Yeah, it sucked I know. :x But uhm, happy early Halloween?
