Hope you will like this chapter.
"Do you believe ghosts?"
"Sometimes."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean...sometimes...suppose when I read horror stories before sleeping in the night, then I have to believe a bit...I feel kinda nervous..."
"Then I am also afraid of ghosts..not only a bit, but also more."
"But...why are you discussing about ghosts at this moment?"
"Woah, are you not seeing today's weather? What a ghostly environment...there are raining dazzlingly outside...sudden winds...feeling cold a bit. That's why...it's becoming night...There are only I and you in this room.."
"Really Kai, you're frightening me." Said a navy-haired guy, "Please give me cigarette...I've heard that ghosts can't tolerate fire."
Picking out a cigarette from his packet of Benson, Kai expanded his hand towards Tyson. He himself also lighted a cigarette.
"Actually there's nothing like ghosts." Said he, "If there had been any, we would have seen them. We are not little kids."
"Have I told that there's anything like ghost?" Tyson asked, furiously.
"Wow...it's you who have risen the topic of ghosts."
"Hmm..." Tyson said, "Though ghosts are nothing but imaginations, but the fear for ghosts are real."
"You're kinda right." Chuckled a slate-haired man, being satisfied.
"Then...let's have some fear of ghosts!" Proposed the navy, cheerfully.
"What?" Exclaimed the slate-haired boy.
"I mean...let's do a planchette!" Tyson again said, "Are you seeing the round table? That will be our ouija board. On the table, we will keep our hands and sit. On my right hand, there will be your left hand."
"If we do so, will the ghost come?" Asked Kai, narrowing his eyes.
"Nope, no ghost will come." Replied his navy-haired friend.
"Then...who will come by the way?" Kai again asked, looking at Tyson. His eyes were full of disbelief.
"Souls will come." Said Tyson, staring at Kai.
"What?" Again the slate-haired boy exclaimed, widening his eyes, "If we just place our hands on the table, then the soul will come?"
"Nah, there will be a candle lighting on the table." Continued the navy-haired boy, "We will keep calling a soul from our mind who didn't die a natural death."
"Whom will we call?" Kai asked, being confused.
"We will call a person who is known to us but didn't die a natural death." replied Tyson.
"Hmm...well...then let's call a soul as the matter is so easy." Kai said, "Then whom can be called?"
"I've an idea. Let's call Mister Dickenson." Tyson said as he hit upon a plan.
"Oh...he liked both of us..." Said Kai, remembering old memories, "Poor Guy died by an accident. What a gentle person he was!"
"Nah, I think we shouldn't call that old man." Yawning, Tyson protested gently, "Instead of that, I think we should call Hilary maybe."
"Hilary...Hilary...oh yes, Hilary Tachibana." Said Kai, remembering her, "On whom we both had a huge crush and deep feelings."
They burst out laughing. The laughter continued for a few minutes. After stopping their laughing, there was a silence.
"But her death was horrid.." Kai said, with a frustrated voice, breaking the silence.
"Let it be dude," Tyson said, trying to forget that incident, "We don't want to reminisce that tragic event."
So after sometimes, they could be seen sitting around a circular table on which a candle was lighting at it's center. There was no other light without the candle. Both of the two touched the top of the table. On one's hand there was another's hand.
Don't know for who long they kept sitting there.
"Oh!" Yelled Tyson, "I've got bored. Please let it be."
"Sit for a while, Tyson...let's see for some hours..." Kai tried to stop him, "Hey, are you scared?"
"Scared? And me?" Tyson chuckled, "Sometimes you can also kid well, Kai. Okay, let me puff one more cigar. Wanna puff one?"
"No." That was the strict answer of the slate-haired boy.
Hardly had when Tyson been about to light a cigarette when a sudden wind came and opened the window making a sudden noise. With that wind, a gust of rain entered and messed everything in a single second. At first, the candle got extinguished. They couldn't light the cigarette...right at that moment, their noses could smell a fragrance.
"Kai?"
"Hn."
"A fragrance..."
"Got it."
The fragrance wasn't unfamiliar to them. The special fragrance belonged to a perfume. She used to use it. Suddenly, Tyson sat on his chair.
"Kai, I'm scared, buddy..." Whispered he.
"Scared? Scared of what? Are you scared of her?" Asked the slate haired boy. Then with a bit of louder tone, he asked, "Hilary, are you here? I and Tyson are here at this moment now."
No answer came. Swiftly, Tyson lighted the candle with the lighter. There was nobody in the room. Even Kai wasn't there. But before a moment, he was in front of him, sitting on the chair. He called Hilary, and where's he now? Outside of the house, it's raining cats and dogs. With a scared voice, Tyson called, "Kai, where're you?"
There was a pin-drop silence all over the room. Was it Kai who was trying to scare him? Has he hid himself anywhere? At that time, the navy could hear a slight laughter. It might belong to any boy, it might belong to any girl also. Tyson became kinda sure that it was none but Kai trying to scare him. He yelled for the second time, "Kai! Kai!"At that time, for the second time, another gust of wind came. Opening the window, it extinguished the candle again. Thunder was sparkling in the sky. With the sparkles of thunder, Tyson saw Kai sitting in front of him. A slight smirk could be seen in the corners of his lips.
"Kai? Where did you go?" Said the boy, sighing of relief, "You know, I've got so scared! You scared me almost to death!"
"O really!"
Tyson's blood started to freeze. Kai just then talked with him with a feminine voice!
"Kai, what happened to you?" Tyson said, with a trembling voice, slightly shaking.
"Nothing." Said the voice again, "You both called me, so I've come here."
Hilary's voice! Tyson felt the absence of ground below his feet. His hands and feet were being frozen. But he shouldn't have been afraid. With this Hilary, how much times they both had spent...but then, in front of him...
"You...you are...Hil...Hilary?"
"Yes. Can't you recognize me?"
Tyson couldn't utter anything. He saw Kai staring at him in a mystic way. On the table, Tyson's hands started shivering. With this shivering hands, Tyson lighted the candle again. The flame was shivering also. It could be extinguished at any time. Tyson rushed to close the windows. He also became successful to close them. Moving his neck backwards, he saw the flame about to be extinguished...and the mixture of light and darkness...he could see clearly that there was not Kai...but a certain chocolate-haired girl was sitting instead of him. Her coco-colored hair was blowing in the wind. Her milky white glossy skin could be seen clearly in the less light...she was looking at him in a mysterious way...she was throwing mysterious glances at him. Tyson felt a pressure at the left of his chest...he could hardly breathe..with his right hand, he pressed his left chest and knelt down on the ground. The candle got extinguished already...with another gust wind...the window got opened...the gusts of wind and rain started entering into the room through the window...still there was the brunette sitting on the chair...her hair was still blowing..Yes, there was no doubt it was Hilary who was sitting...before passing out..Tyson's sense told him so...
That was...Ahem...don't know how it was... :P
Anyways, please read and review! And Soreina dear, please come back! We all love you so much. And I am waiting for you. Hope you will like this. And I am currently counting on you...your time of returning starts from now...tick tock...tick tock..tick tock...
