"It is said that there is a house in Konoha that not even the bravest of ninja will enter. For in this house, there are tales. Tales of unspeakable horror. Tales that would scare even Sasuke-kun! For instance, a young boy had gone there to find a small toy he had left behind….and never came out! And every night, there are sounds. Sounds of ghost and wolves. Horrid noises of the night! Noises that-"

"Sakura" Naruto interrupted, "Any horror tale would scare Sasuke" He chuckled as the raven haired nin scoffed. "I'm sure just the word horrible would scare you, Naruto" Was his response.

Shikamaru sighed. "If they're just going to fight then I'm leaving" He got to his feet and reached for the handle as Ino snorted, "What? This too scary for you?" Everyone started laughing while Choji ate his potato chips. Salt and Vinegar flavored.

"I know!" Sakura bellowed. "What about a dare contest" Naruto, Sasuke, Choji, Shikamaru, Ino, Hinata, Kiba, and Akimaru looked at Sakura then each other. "Eh?" Naruto sounded. Sakura lifted her chin, put her hand on her hip, and grinned evilly, pointing at the boys. "You heard me! A dare. What if-" She paused for dramatic effect. "You guys stayed the night at the haunted house?"

Silence filled the room before it was replaced with laughter. "Yeah right!" Ino cried. Shikamaru was saying between laughs, "Yeah, I doubt that place even exist!" Pony tail looked at them. "No" She retorted, "You guys would chicken out the second you heard the door creak open"

The laughter stopped as glares circulated across the room. "You mean" Naruto started, "It really is" Kiba added, "Real?" Choji finished, stuffing another potato chip into his mouth, shakily. Hinata poked her fingers together, blushing as she claimed, "Yes…I-I've seen it. N-neji used to t-tell me not to g-go there because…because…"

Silence once again filtered. A new vibe of fear and intensity filled the air surrounding them. Suddenly, Ino stood up. "But, I doubt any of you have the guts" She challenged, hands on hips.

Sasuke scoffed. "If it is real" He began, "Then I don't see the problem" Mouths dropped as eyes widened and hearts began racing. "W…well…" Blondie countered, "I guess I would, too!" He leaped up and placed his fist in the air. Eventually, all the boys had agreed to the girls' challenge and were ready to go.

"Good luck, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura pled. "They'll need it" Ino added, walking inside. Shikamaru groaned. "How did you guys talk me into this?" He complained as they neared the house Sakura had given them directions to. When the young teenagers gazed upon the house, you could swear they turned into the very ghost that were said to walk the halls.

The windows were all cracked, excluding those with tinted paint, sills hung on their hinges as the moans and groans of the walls chanted like a pack of wolves beneath the blood red moon. Chipped paint gave the place a since of eeriness as vines covered the lower half of the fragile pile of broken wood and bent nails.

Naruto bit his lip as he backed away. "What's the matter?" mocked the Uchiha, "You afraid?" Having said this, Naruto quickly regained his courage and marched up to the steps, "Of course not!" He lied. Akimaru whimpered, though he himself was one to be feared. Akimaru was as big as anything that could possibly come out of that house. As far as they knew…

"It's alright, buddy" Kiba reassured his pet. Choji crept closer, a chip for each step. Crunch…Munch….Crunch….Munch!

And suddenly

Creeeeeeak!

Naruto was about to push the door when it screeched open itself. This sent a chill running up the orange nin's back. Even the brave Uchiha held back, if only a little. "L-l-l-let's g-g-g-go…" He managed to stutter. As Akimaru walked in, the door roared shut. The boyish, and one high pitch, screams filled the air.

He he he…

A voice echoed through the room. "Oh sh-" "Naruto!" Sasuke slammed his hand over Naruto's mouth. He whimpered in fright and in pain. "I thought I had heard something" Sasuke admitted.

He he he…

Shikamaru looked up, Choji looked back, Naruto looked behind, Sasuke stood there, his eyes wide., and Kiba backed up until…

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
