Last Chapter's Summary: Sasori Akasuna and someone they call Gaara Panda have joined the Narueris' guest list and it seems like there are some more ghost to deal with. Mikoto seems to be getting in touch with one ghost that always stays by the stairs. Matsuri and Akari's ex-boyfriends seem to be trying to win them back… what's a Matsuri and an Akari got'ta do?

Our eyes are our weaponry… our visions our own battlefield…
…
Matsuri keeps her eyes away from his as she tends to the wounds of a thick-eyelined panda. Gaara Sabaku… the man the eldest daughter of the Narueris has always avoided for all these five long and serene years. It seems that they have developed contradictory walls through time… walls etched deep within their hearts: the ones of denial and blockade and the ones of desperation and apologies. The nurse and the mossy man are engulfed in an atmosphere that is too hard to decipher. Akari and Mikoto are watching them along with the other residents, the practical sisters glaring with their arms crossed before their chests.
Taking too much of the torturing atmosphere for the panda, the youngest starts to talk, "Gaara Panda, what the fuck are you doing here?" Gaara hasn't answered and then Akari bends over to increase the bullying theme, "Come on, Gaara. Talk." The sisters are harshly prying on the poor panda when he decides to find salvation from his most beloved brunette. His notable emerald eyes want to meet the hazel orbs but all he sees is her frowning brows and… amazing cleavage? Seeing what the panda is ogling at, Mikoto and Akari yell at him, "Tousaku no Gaara! (Pervy Gaara!)"
The cotton starts to slam against his scrapes and the panda can't help but to wince in pain… completely ignoring the other two sisters. The medicine stings through his cells but the pain gets rivaled greatly by the undue contraction of his emotionally wounded heart. He feels like getting kept in a torture chamber… getting punished by his heinous crime of sudden disappearance. Matsuri then calls on the raven, "Mikuzu-chan, can you get some more cotton, bandage and iodine for me?" Mikoto then twitches only to nod and glare at the male redhead panda as she leaves the room. Hidan then walks out the lounge and his playmates follow suit. Akari then takes her leave as well as she assists Sasori back at his room and the former lovers are left alone…
"M… Ma… Matsuri-ai, how've you been doing? It's been five years since I have last seen you." Matsuri stops at her track… a dagger of paralyzing pain strikes deep within her heart. The dagger has gone through her walls easily as if piercing through paper… a dagger that comes as his homecoming words. She knows what will become of him for the next seconds… a machine that will keep on explaining things… saying things that she refused to hear. He gulps in the victory of making her listen, proceeding with his real intentions, "I'm sorry for what happened. I should've—"
"Stay still." She murmurs darkly as the cotton brings massive pain, the panda wincing some more. The soft balls have turned into blades that try to cut down his courage to speak… sharp blades that seem to slash at his thread of life. But he hasn't given up against them just yet… the panda pushes through with his words, "I'm really sorry, Matsuri-ai… I still lo—" He gets stunned as the brunette practically punches his chest that bears bruises and scrapes with her all… shouting at his face with control, "Whatever you wanted to say—! I don't want to hear it! You have caused a lot of trouble! You have hurt me a lot! What are you going to do next, huh? How far are you willing to go just to destroy me!"
Her eyes start to release the tears and the pent-up anger from the blood pumping through her heart. Her breakable glare at his eyes still has this feeling of pain… a trace of wanting something to lean on. Her hazel orbs are bursting with scorching hatred and deathly pain… like they're about to shatter in any second with the shards getting embedded deep in his skin. His heart gets torn into shreds as he stares deeper into the eyes of a crying angel… and angel filled with resentment and agony. He brings up his hands though… only to wipe away the tears forming at the corner of her eyes. She is about to slap them away but he then embraces her… the panda giving her an embrace of someone that begs for another chance.
The feeling of being in his arms again is unexplainable, incomprehensible… undoubtedly irresistible. The memories of the past begins to devour her… her heart starts to mend slowly at the same time it falls to pieces. He pulls back a little and brings her face nearer for a kiss. She closes her eyes and drops the iodine bottle and the cotton ball as the man gets nearer. He moves his face along hers… the tip of his nose drawing affectionate lines across her cheek, "I still love you, Matsuri-ai." She stays in place with her heart thumping louder than it ever has… the protest of disagreement getting overshadowed by the notion of love. Their lips then begin to touch and seal… until a sudden rack disrupts the romantic connection.
"What's going on?" Gaara protectively embraces Matsuri as she looks around to see the culprit… but she finds the man in the stairs standing nearby. Her gaze gets locked at the unusual sight and at the somewhat resemblance of the fading image of someone she knows of. She then gets distracted when Gaara suddenly holds her tighter when the tall cabinets, ornaments and paintings begin to fall over them. Then she hears someone yell in utmost agony and resentment and both of them fling at the opposite direction, Matsuri seeing the bloody bride… slamming at the floor which makes the room tremble.
Mikoto then feels something as she traverses the hallway from the bathroom and runs towards the lounge. She sees her sister and the panda in grave danger and decides to come to their aid… only to be halted by the man at the stairs. She struggles, "Minato-sama! Lemme go! I have to—" He covers her mouth gently and speaks with his normal helpless gentle voice, "Between the black cabinet and the brown one, there lies a girl in the floor. You might not be able to see her… but your eyes can capture the image. Look at her… stare at her."
The young raven doubts the unusual instruction… but then she continues to look around for the unperceived yet existing image. Her eyes begin to react like how they did back then at the kitchen… something within her eyes seems to rotate like locking on a target before firing missiles. The bloody bride then stops slamming and flings at the raven… only to watch her shiny orbs dim without any explanation. She then charges towards her before squeezing herself to a stop… soon enough, she vanishes from their sight. The racking stops and the three pairs of eyes evaluate the mess. Soon after, the man disappears with a big smile at his face and the raven runs towards her sister, "Matsu-nee!"

Utterly fatigued by playing an exciting game of racing, Raidou walks to the kitchen to fetch himself a glass of cool water. He takes a glass from the glass tray… only to notice something different, something amiss among the same-looking place. He looks around and sees nothing in particular but the somewhat creepy empty slot at the knife shelf. One knife is missing and staring at the slot some more makes him tremble feebly. What Akari and Matsuri have claimed comes back to his mind… that declaration about hostile ghosts. He then gulps as his grip tightens much more… heart thumping faster without influencing his facial expression.
"Rai-Rai?" A familiar voice of a young girl makes him jump a little and then take a deep breath. He then flings to the confused girl, "Miku-Miku, do you know where that missing knife is?" The raven then walks to him while gazing at the shelf, "Aka-chan has it. She's using it to slice apples." She then takes two glasses and pins her gaze at his frowning face… only to blow at it. He then pulls back in surprise and glares at the grinning girl, "Don't frown too much. You'll grow much older… Ojiji." She then prances towards the fridge to gather water.
Raidou then walks to her, ignoring the pissing off she's trying to do, "Is it for Akasuna?" Mikoto twitches and banishes her prancing mood… only to stare at him long enough. He makes his way to help her hold the pitcher since her hands are full… making her answer his little question, "No. Chou-nii bought apples earlier but we didn't have the time to eat them… thanks to Aniue. She's just eating it now. It doesn't have to be always Sasori~…" She whispers the last remark and practically walks hastily away from him. He drinks the water and washes the glass while murmuring that last remark, "It doesn't have to be always Sasori, huh." He then gazes at the knife shelf to find another knife is missing… and no one could have taken it. He slowly leaves the glass at the sink… and then runs for it!
He arrives at the living room like nothing has happened back there at the kitchen… only to find Hidan and Chouji arguing about something. He then sees Chouji checking the connections and Hidan hitting the poor terebi. "What gives?" He smirks discreetly… enjoying how pissed off Hidan is and Chouji answers as the brunet approaches him, "The terebi just started to show static signals before shutting down on its own. Heheh, Hidan-kun is about to win when it happened." The two men glance at the blond and the brunet's retained smirk widens, "Serves him right."
Hidan then joins them as the two erase the smirks and snicker, "Geez. Can't you get that fixed?" Seeing no problem at all, they shake their heads and then Chouji stands up to say something when a ripping sound comes from the couch nearby. They gaze at the couch… only to find it ruined… by the missing knife. The ripped patterns seem to denote something… like stating characters which are covered by the oozing foam and cotton. The three clear the couch and then they somewhat recognized the name written in the couch… as they read it aloud altogether, "A~… ka~… ri~."

Akari is enjoying herself as she reads about her favorite doujinshis while waiting for any confirmation of her proposed design from the company. She is munching on her peeled and sliced apples as she giggles in her thoughts. From under her bed lies a pair of red eyes… gazing balefully at the redhead woman. Then a hand slowly crawls out the bed… a hand which is ghostly white and filled with exposed veins. Soon enough, the owner of the eyes has half of her body out from the bed… gazing at the woman with all her hatred. The lady twitches at the dropping temperature… and flings to the ghost woman.
She has this pale greenish yellow hair, bulging breasts and well-maintained build… but she really appears to be a horrid looking ghost. Akari slowly turns her rotating chair to face the woman who starts to pull herself out of the dark. The lights begin to flicker and the ghost grins at the girl who is staring at her bravely. Akari's strange eyes then start to appear different… the yellow ring starts to light up in the ghost's perception. Soon after, a horrid scene plays within Akari's mind. It is still in the same room… but she can see two men talking with a corpse of a woman before them. They then decide to hide it under the bed…
Disrupted. Akari twitches as she notices that the ghost has vanished from her sight. Her visions have been activating yet again and it brings bad news to her. Then some knocks are heard at her door and she hesitates to come pick it up… since no one would be dropping by at the dead of the night. "Akari? Hon?" She then recognizes Raidou's voice and then she goes to open it up after collecting her clutter and stuffing the remaining apples in her mouth. She finishes them and opens the door with a surprise to see and panting boyfriend before her… with her practical brothers behind him, "What's… wrong? You look so worried."
Raidou grabs at her shoulder and pushes her back a little so he can see the whole room. The feared anything seems to be absent but Raidou gets so sure something must have happened… as he stares at the bed. Akari gazes at the bed and twitches at the thought that he could have sensed the danger that ghost has brought to the room. He then answers after making sure there is really nothing to worry about, "Nothing really." Hidan then sighs loudly, taking much attention of the three, "Phew, seems like nothing happened. We're just caught up with too much ghost stories like those three." Akari then rolls her eyes and shoves the clutter at Raidou's waist for him to catch and hold. She closes the door, "I'm hitting the sack. Good night."
The brunet glares at the blond and goes downstairs after the little bad intuition. He washes the utensils and then puts back the knife… only to find the second missing knife back in place. He stares at it for a while… oblivious of the real danger within the room. The same pair of eyes that haunted Akari is now within the four walls of the kitchen. She then moves from the cabinet to the fridge nearby the cupboard of plates… only to glare at the glass tray area. The man by the stairs is leaning by the glasses and is looking straight at her. Raidou finishes the dishes and is about to put them back to place when he sees a glass moves on its own and falls off the counter.
He then freezes in his place and just stare at the glass tray… waiting for another glass to move. The male ghost then takes another glass and throws at the floor before him. He jerks in surprise and let goes of the washed clutter… with only the female ghost to shut the door when Raidou runs to and grasps at it. He whispers under his hastening breath, "Fucking shit." The girl then makes things rack about and Raidou can help but to flatten himself against the door. The window then shatters without a sound and that's when the dropping temperature seems to not even grow warmer… the cold wind not escaping from the window. The door then starts to tremble and Raidou can't see anything to protect himself with. He then gazes at the broken window… only to jump outside with wounding himself with a shard.
"You're so slow to pick up." Raidou swears he had heard someone said those words at his ears. But he grabs his bleeding arm and walks to the garden door… only to hear the sounds of the garden shears. He trembles within and hurries to the door and finds it locked. He budges at the door… only making his wound worse but that it hasn't stopped him. He budges some more only to notice an image of a man that opens the door for him. He absent-mindedly walks in and the door closes on its own behind him as he walks to the stairs. He sees Mikoto waiting at the stairs… as if looking for someone. He is about to talk when she brings out her camera and takes a shot.
"Ah! There you are, Minato-sama!" She exclaims and he frowns at the sight of the young woman who is talking to someone… he couldn't even see. It happens to Akari at times… but she does it so discreet that he would not even stare longer at her. The girl at a distance then huffs and walks away with an annoyed tone, "Oooh~! I just hate you!" She walks upstairs and then Raidou follows her to the end of the stairs. He then hears someone whisper… with the same voice as what he heard earlier, "Ma. She got pissed off. Make her feel better for me, okay?" He looks around and sees a faint image of a smiling man beside him, "Raidou-san."
"Holy shit!" He almost screams loudly and races up the stairs in fright… until he bumps into Matsuri and falls above her due to gravity. He uses his arms to control his fall but straddling Matsuri's head with them. She yips at the thing and stares at him for a while… catching that awed gaze he's giving out. "R… Raidou-san?" She asks and his prolonged gaze— no, scratch that, ogle at her sweet face… that turned into an annoyed one, "You're so heavy!" She pushes him away to the side and he hits his head with the floor. He groans and looks around to watch Matsuri stand up… and see that guy standing at the stairs just below his feet. He then scrams away and Matsuri watches the blond man laugh at his little thing. He then waves goodbye at her and goes away…

The morning goes on and it seems to be a normal mornings for the Narueris and the guests. They are eating at the dining room with such a festive atmosphere that masks the real situation. Akari, Chouji and Raidou are talking about jobs and other things that elite people talk about. Mikoto and Matsuri are poking Sasori's face, teasing him since he can't see a thing… even missing to fork that pancake slice. Gaara is silently eating at the side, enjoying the view of his love's delighted face… while Hidan is loudly eating his pancakes as if irritated by the atmosphere.
After the cute morning atmosphere, Sasori is left waiting at the lounge as the girls are dealing with the breakfast clutter with Gaara helping them with heavy things. Hidan has gone back to his room and is on the rock with his metal and rock collection that is booming at the second storey. Raidou and Chouji are outside and discussing about getting a new car… something better than Akasuna's as Raidou would prefer. The mentioned redhead then sneezes as his name gets somewhat repeated… bidding 'Bless you' to his lonesome self.
Doctor Yahiko has said that he'll be fine by then and Nurse Matsuri should take it off before she goes to job. He gets excited about seeing Akari again… even if he gets to be welcomed by shifting eyes. However, in the middle of his little daydream, he hears a set of slow footsteps getting near him… and the peculiar movement denotes that it can't be someone he knows. With every step getting slower and more dreadful, the sound echoes through his ears. Sasori clutches at the chair… knowing that what Akari and Matsuri have said is true. He knows they can really see hostile ghosts in the house… and one is coming for him.
The bandages at his eyes then start to loosen… taking the attention of the redhead some more. He tries to catch the bandages that fell off… his eyes getting exposed to light again. But instead of the peaceful lounge, he finds himself standing before an altar and eyes at the bright gate. The seats are empty but the church is decorated as if a wedding will take place in minutes… seeing that a bride walks in the place. In every budge of his lash, the woman is getting nearer and nearer… and seems to be Akari. He blushes as she holds his face and her veil gets unraveled on its own… showing a different woman. A dead woman.
The three girls arrive at the lounge with Mikoto rotating her shoulder in fatigue… the two sisters seeing the bloody bride about to give Sasori a cold kiss of death. Akari then runs to him and jumps at him, passing through the bride, "Abunai!" The chair topples over and the young raven inquires about the scene, "What did you see, Matsu-nee?" The bloody bride then sits at the floor and squeezes herself to cry agonizingly. Matsuri's dark eyes then begin to illuminate… making her see a beautiful lady sitting as if defeated at the floor while calling for one man, "Shisui…"
The vision has been disrupted and the bloody bride has vanished from their sights a second before Raidou and Chouji slam the door open. The two have been furious with the sudden collection of alarming sounds from the lounge. They see Mikoto standing worriedly and Matsuri flinging her eyes around as if looking for something. Raidou then notices the trembling toppled chair before him… seeing Akari under Sasori… under the chair. The lady is repeatedly and harshly pushing Sasori's face away from hers, "You're so heavy, Sasori!" Sasori merely can't do anything to protect himself… so he can stop the heavy seat from crushing the both of them, "A-Ouw, Akari-chan! H-Help! Mikoto! Matsuri-san!"
Chouji and Raidou help Sasori with the chair and the two other girls help them up with Mikoto whispering, "Oi, Sasori. Are you okay?" Sasori massages his face that almost got deformed by Akari… who is tuck within Raidou's protective embrace, the two men glaring at each other. Matsuri then inspects both of them for scratches which is not present, "You should be a lot more careful, Sasori-san. That… ghost is about to get you." Chouji and Raidou twitch and then Chouji murmurs, "Ghosts? For real? Then where's Hidan?"
"ROCK YOU~! RIGHT NOOOOOOOW~! WHOOOOO!"Hidan yells from his room which seems to be accompanied by the music. A sweat drops from their heads and Mikoto twists her lips and pouts, "Ah forget it." He then screams some more and then Mikoto and Raidou yell at him, "Hidan (Aniue) [no baka], down here NOW!" Matsuri hums in embarrassment for such behavior and then they hear hurried steps from the kitchen… it is Gaara still in apron and soapy hands, "What's going on? Why are you guys—?" Mikoto and the others crack up a little and the brunette then rolls her eyes, realizing that it's her turn to say, "That's right. Forget it."
[End of Chapter 3]
Thank you for reading and reviewing… if ever.
RH Wiki: Matsuri-ai = Matsuri, my love; Ojiji = old man/grandpa; Terebi = TV; Abunai! = It's dangerous!
It's not just us now… even the boys (kick out Aniue) are experiencing the mysteries of this house. We seem to be seeing a bride, a dangerous man, and another lady… and they are all hostile types unlike Minato-sama. And our eyes are starting to react differently much more and more… our hidden secrets getting revealed for survival. What really IS going on?
