Chapter 1
Duo maxwell was feeling uneasy. There was something not right about this old house. Quatre had purchased the old house from a very rich friend of the Winner family and had even given him a special deal because of it, or at least that was the excuse he made. Duo didn't feel that that was really case; however. He believed the old man had done it because he knew there was something wrong with the house. The basic physical components were all ok, but there was something else wrong with it. A different kind of wrong. Duo believed that there was something else in the house. Something else that just shouldn't be there. The extra presence he was feeling was one that knew was going to drive him totally insane if he didn't do something about it and quick. But what would he do about something like that? He couldn't even talk to the other guys about it. None of them could feel it and they all thought he was crazy for saying he "felt something".
'The duty of The Shinigami." he thought to himself, as he walked into one of the upstairs bedrooms. This bedroom had been causing some special problems for him. It seemed that every time he walked by it he could feel the presence ten times stronger, and the feeling made him go weak in the knees. This was definitely something of evil. He would need to dispose of it. The only question now was, 'could he?' Being the Shinigami, he could handle all kinds of dead things. This one was strong.but he could handle it if it was alone.
He went into his own room and took his scythe out from under the bed. It was not a relatively large scythe, only going up to about his waist. It had the symbols of Death and the Shinigami engraved in the blade and a garnet set into the metal handle that glowed when he took hold of it; signifying that he was its true owner.
He would need to use it later, but right now all he needed to do was figure out exactly what the thing in the room was. To do that he would need to spend a few hours in the old house alone. How could he get everyone out of the house without them getting suspicious of him? Duo put his scythe back under the bed and went downstairs.
He went to the large library/office space first and was pleased to find Quatre there busily typing away on his files. This was good his plan may work after all. He sauntered over to Quatre and began looking over his shoulder at what he was doing. He knew that he wouldn't be able to ignore him then like he would be tempted to do otherwise. He had been driving Quatre steadily along the road to insanity trying to explain the thing in the room to him. Of all people he thought that Quatre would be willing to at least tolerate him while he talked.
Quatre turned around to meet his friend. Smiling he said, "Hey, Duo, what do you need? Got something on your mind again?" 'Something'. That was all Quatre was ever able to refer to it as. 'Something'. Not because he didn't understand what the thing was, but because he just couldn't understand what Duo was telling him at all. 'Of course not.' Duo thought, 'his mind is just too business-like.' Duo did get frustrated over the fact that the one person who would even let him stay in the same room with him when he talked about it didn't even understand a single word he said. But then he couldn't help but to think that at least Quatre was a good friend. A good person and a good friend. He could depend on Quatre.
"I don't know. I just thought I'd come to keep you company for a while." Duo replied, smiling sweetly. For being the God of Death, he sure was an angel when he wanted to be. "Sure, Duo. I'd like that." The little blonde was a terrible liar, but the one thing in the world that you could always count on was Quatre being kind and polite. "So what do you want to talk to me about?" And Quatre knew the other thing in the world you could always count on was Duo always having something to talk about and always wanting to talk. "Girls." One of Duo's favorite subjects, right along with food.
Quatre turned half of his attention back to his computer monitor, expecting to hear Duo talk about how much he liked girls, what kinds of girls he liked, and what he wanted to do with girls, which for some reason never surprised Quatre in the least. It's not that Duo was perverted, he wasn't, he was just open. But when the next words out of Duo's mouth were, "Not girls really. Women." Quatre got curious about what Duo was talking about and turned his full attention back towards him.
"Have you ever looked at a woman, Quatre? I don't mean a girl I mean a woman." There he went putting the emphasis on that word like that again, like it was something strange and unusual. Exactly where was Duo going with this? He stared at Quatre, making him blush when he realized that he really meant for him to answer. "Well, no, probably not in the way you mean." Duo looked shocked at this. "You are lying." "No I'm not." Quatre insisted. Duo looked at Quatre with the strangest look he had ever been given in his entire life. "Quatre? Is there something you need to tell us all about?" "What are you talking about?" Quatre asked. A serious question. " Quatre, are you.gay?" Quatre gasped, nearly falling out of his swivel chair. " No, Duo, I most certainly am not!" "Ok, ok! Calm down! I believe you! So if you aren't gay then you have to be lying because you have to have looked at a women if you like women and such, you know what I'm saying?" Quatre nods, growing more confused by their current topic every minute. " Quatre, have you ever-.well, I won't ask you that considering that I think I already know the answer to it and if I'm wrong, then I don't want to know. So let me ask you a milder question. Have you ever kissed a girl? Even ever had a girlfriend?" Quatre turned a very deep shade of red as he simply answered, ".no." Duo gave him his 'I am going to do something you're not going to like' stare. He would have liked to have played the scene out a little more, but he could tell the fragile little boy was scared out of his mind! But who wouldn't have been with that look on Duo's face?
"Well Quatre, I think that it's about time you got one!" Duo was met with a slightly irritated look. "Duo, you just don't understand. I just don't have the time for a girlfriend." "You don't 'just have time' for anything! That's why you make time!" Duo gazed into Quatre's eyes with a look that was just so hard to resist. "Ok, Duo, what do you have in mind for me?" "Not what, Quatre, who! And it just so happens that I know exactly the girl for you!" Quatre looked at him questioningly. "Are you sure?" Duo nodded. "She's sweet, and kind! Pretty-no! Beautiful! And funny too! Oh you'll just love her!" Duo seemed to be a little too excited about getting to play matchmaker.
In less than an hour Quatre was on his way out the door to his first date EVER! With a girl named Christina; one of Duo's ex-girlfriends. She was sweet, and pretty, even beautiful as Duo had said, but she was so talkative she even made him want to pull his braid right off his scalp! She would keep him busy for hours! Now there was just that matter of the other three.
Duo was happy to find that Wufei had already gone out for the evening, so there was only Heero and Trowa left to get rid of. He traveled downstairs in his usual convivial manner, not surprised at all by the sight of Heero at his trusty laptop and Trowa reading some huge, and obviously complicated, book. He decided to try and make this one as absolutely amusing as possible. There was no reason why he couldn't do his job and have a lot of fun while he was at it. He ran through the room as fast as he could, screaming at the top of his voice. Heero and Trowa both stopped for a short moment to make sure everything in the room was still intact before continuing with what they were doing hoping the disturbance didn't happen a second time. But, of course, it did. Trowa quietly closed his book and headed toward the front door. He knew it was no use to try and stay in the house. He had learned from past experience that Duo just wouldn't be ignored. Heero, however, was going to be a more difficult case. Duo decided to turn this into a special case in which he would do things he wouldn't normally do, like sing the teletubbies song that he had learned in case of just an occasion. That song was enough to drive anybody over the edge.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
About fifteen minutes later, Heero had finally left the property, and Duo managed to escape the whole ordeal with only a sore jaw. He didn't bother with it, but instead, ran swiftly up to his room to retrieve his materials. Then, fully clothed in his "Shinigami gear" he got to work trying to uncover the mystery of the troublesome presence. He knew he should probably start in the haunted bedroom, but something was drawing him toward the kitchen, and this time it wasn't his stomach.
He crept cautiously into the kitchen, scythe held in a ready position. This time he wasn't sensing one of the dead. It was something else. He could feel that it was some type of dark curse, but he didn't know exactly where or why it was. This was something he thought worthy of his immediate attention. He wouldn't be able to lift it. It was too strong. Someone very much stronger than himself has laid it down, and he could only hope the thing in the bedroom wasn't it. He would have to seal it. Seal its power so it could never be fully fulfilled.
He raised his scythe and spoke the words, "Geaimishou hiata jinshouu!!!" The words echoed through the house as a black sparkling mist began to swirl around Duo and then the whole room. When it was all finally over, he relaxed and went up to his bedroom to change into his normal clothes.
When Duo got up to his room he entered then turned around facing to door and the haunted bedroom, but this time his eyes beheld more than the simple contents of the room. Standing in the middle of the bedroom was the ghost of a man with a look of terror on his face, the most disturbing Duo had ever seen. It filled him with the most horrible fear he could ever remember feeling, and the worst part was the man was staring straight at him! Despite everything he knew himself to be, Duo screamed in horror.
Down in the driveway, Heero had just come home. He was hoping Duo was now off his sugar high, and thought he might apologize for punching him earlier, when he heard a scream that sounded like Duo coming from the upstairs part of the house. He raced into the house and up the stairs to Duo's room. When he got there he found Duo in a heap in the floor staring aghast at the bedroom across the hall. Heero looked into the bedroom, but saw nothing.
