NEDD: Meikyuu no Entities

Last Chapter's Summary: Just when Matsuri and Gaara are about to renew their love, the ghosts have attacked yet again. And Raidou is starting to doubt Akari for being around Sasori some more and another ghost starts to disturb the couple. With the ghosts having some more to it than just merely haunting the old ancestral house, the three sisters will be trying to figure things out. And who is this new ghost to pose the greatest threat to everyone else?

Our eyes are our weaponry… our visions our own battlefield…

Basically getting treated as a housekeeper of the Narueris, Gaara can't help but to take orders from the three witches— err, practical sisters. His task for now is to keep the West Wing clean and free from any unnecessarily dirt and mess. With a trusted mop, broom and pan, he makes his way to the second storey to do some cleaning to the least explored part of the house, save for the attic. He starts with sweeping the floor… only to find a remnant of a dark green slime that has hardened at the mahogany floor. The panda frowns at the weird mark and starts to clean it…

Which seems to be impossible. He gives up in mopping and then frowns at it as he kneels down. He tries to scratch it off using his nail but it appears to be lying… at the reflection of scene from the shining mahogany floor. The fuck… he then frowns some more at the mirage image… only to notice some differenceS as well. The labels written in each door wouldn't match the ones in the reflection and this makes Gaara investigate some more. Staying long enough with Matsuri has told him that these phenomena do exist.

'Storage' is changed to 'nursery', the third library door is 'music' and the fourth library door is left without a name. The door marked with 'music' opens and then the redhead shoots his gaze at the third library door that hasn't move at all. He gazes back at the moving door only to see a man that seems to be around Mikoto's age walk out. He stops walking before Gaara's reflection… his hollow eyes staring out at his emerald ones. His gaping mouth makes green goo similar to the one at the floor flow out… unlikely dripping at Gaara's head.

"…?" Gaara touches his head and finds sticky slimy goo welling at his head. He then blinks and finds a weird foggy figure before him… that has just popped up shortly. He then looks up and sees the hollow-eyed man for real. The redhead freezes in fear and confusion as the man shortly falls down before him… his dead face nearing to the living's. The redhead gulps and then blood and green goo flow out of the man's face as he speaks…

"She's coming."

Chapter 4: Breaking and Mending of Hearts

"I don't really like what's happening." Raidou whispers as he waits for Mikoto outside her school. Giving her a ride back and forth the Narueri Mansion has been an imperative issued by his girlfriend, Akari. But to think about it, ever since Sasori has been with her at the house as well, wasting another minute waiting for Mikoto gives Raidou much more time to grumble around. His girlfriend starts to get along with the bastard again and he seems to be flirting with the woman once more… in a way Raidou surely does have a reason to feel uneasy and impatient about. The man then suddenly pounds at his dashboard and he whispers, "If something happens… I'll kill you, Akasuna."

Ever since the lamp shade and the ghost kiss incidents have happened, Akari has never left Sasori's side. It maybe for the job but they don't need to be so close like that… he shouldn't be with her always to be honest. The female redhead's display of affection has really been affected ever since and the current boyfriend seems to be getting jealous of the former one. Akari is happy with him… how could a sudden coming back of this fucking Cheese guy can destroy their bliss? "Why is he even called Cheese? I haven't seen a fucking red cheese."

Mikoto approaches the car and is about to knock on the window when she sees his utterly mad face. She gets dispirited and drowned in her own sense of compassion towards this guy she… secretly adores. She then shakes her head abruptly and presses her face at the window, lightly knocking at the window, "Ra-i-Ra-i… o-pen the door…" The guy then flings at the window and then shrieks at monstrous figure swarming the car. He screams inside the car and presses on the gas, the car slowly driving away with Mikoto trying to catch up with it. She yells to calm the guy… only to jump in front of his car and block the view, "RAI!"

NEDD: Meikyuu no Entities

Akari is walking around the garden that they are slowly reviving… getting fantastic ideas about the upcoming Spring special design of their website. Sasori is left at his room trying to try out and do everything Akari seems to be teaching him. She sighs and then a shard sound seems to have interfered with her thoughts just a second ago. She looks around and then the place starts to change to an older version of the place… the flowers on their full bloom.

"Isaribi?" Someone then asks around and then Akari flings to the person nearby… a guy with pale blonde hair is standing before her, having the urge to go to her. He then smiles and yells in glee as he runs to her, "Isaribi!" Akari twitches and then she speaks to stop him, "W-Wait! I'm not Isaribi…" The guy then stops running… his happy smiles breaking at the thought… "Isaribi…" Akari twitches and then she turns behind her only to see a woman with long coal-colored hair… laughing with a man at the distant area of the garden. The place then turns eerie and grim as the guy starts screaming in anger, "NOOOOOO! ISARIBI!"

In a blink, everything has gone back to normal but it has left Akari grasping for her breath. She can't believe that the ghosts have become too strong because of their amplified emotions, even being able to start a haunting in broad daylight. However, that is somewhat the least of her problems. She begins to hear a huffing sound behind her… sounds of rusty garden shears accompanying the loud panting. She turns around to see that dark shadow before her… a shadow standing before her very eyes. The ghost motions to charge towards her as she starts running away, refusing to scream and lose energy and cool.

"Isaribi! Isaribi! Isaribi!" The guy rummages through the garden as he absent-mindedly destroys the bushes concealing the redhead. She manages to escape the garden and go back to the house with the guy yelling in frustration over a lost target. He then mellows down and slowly disintegrates into the thin air… leaving Akari a space to breath. She then just frowns at the view and then she hears someone calling for her… while descending down the stairs. She goes to him and Gaara meets up with her still in his apron and with that green goo at his head, "Akari."

"What is that?" She then touches the goo and then Gaara nods in shared cluelessness but then he says, "A… Are there spirits inside the mansion?" The redhead woman nods and then the panda seems to get worried and decides to go, "I'll clean up for a moment. I hope Matsuri-ai isn't having—" Akari twitches and then she speaks as she leaves for her room, "It's opposite of what you think." The guy just watches her go and then he walks to the bathroom, "I… I need to protect her."

NEDD: Meikyuu no Entities

After some grueling afternoon with the police, Raidou and Mikoto have finally arrived at their so-called 'home, sweet home'. Slurping her drink loudly, Mikoto removes her school shoes with just her feet making magic. Raidou sits down at the elevated floor and removes his combat shoes, "Seriously, Miku-Miku. Stop doing that." The girl can only slurp louder in response and then he groans— whacking at the girl's butt hardly.

"Hey!" The raven girl screams at him as she consoles her poor butt, "What's your problem!? It's your fault that we have to be reported! What are you thinking about anyway?" Her growling voice shifts into one being plunged in worry, "You look so bothered. Is this still about… the cheese and crackers?"

"…Who?" Raidou suddenly twitches and then he scratches his head, "Don't use strange nicknames." He gets up and then they walk towards the lounge. The girl then giggles— trying to shift the gloomy atmosphere, "Oooooh~ Are you feeling insecure about the 'I've got a better car than you do' thing with… Cheese-kun?"

"…How do you spoil a cheese, dammit."

"Heheh, don't worry, Rai-Rai." She turns away from the guy, "You don't have anything to worry because Akari still loves you." Mikoto then walks away towards the staircase and then Raidou watches her leave. His eyes then flutter to a close as he absent-mindedly scratches his head again— a smile painting his lips again.

Raidou and Mikoto might have only known each other because of a certain person but their friendship has grown and flourished. Though it hasn't been like more than a decade, they have somewhat invested good things in each other… or so what he thinks it is all about. Mikoto has been one of his closest friend and someone he could have run to for comfort. He knows she doesn't have answers but she sure does help him think about it more.

Her words might be simple. But most reassuring.

The young man then walks towards his room… only to get reminded by what he has for the cheeky raven. He opens his bag as he walks along and then fishing for a paper bag. It is a gift for the girl from a simple store he just passed by. Pushing forward towards the girl's door, he knocks and calls out, "Miku-Miku? I have a present for you!" The call is left unanswered and he just leaves it by her door… a note saying it is indeed for Mikoto Narueri.

Settling down at his own bed, the man sighs first before taking the raven's words into account. That is right. Akari is not a girl that wouldn't be fooled twice. She should know better than to trust Sasori Akasuna with her heart again. What could he actually do for her? Something she will surely love. Raidou ends up hitting his head in frustration… Akari is not as easy to please like Mikoto.

Beep. Beep. His phone beeps and then he goes checking it— his lips curling up as he sees Akari's name. However, the message ruins his entire mood. He then throws the phone away, "They're being called by their boss? More like going out…" He then lies down and hisses his bad mood away… unsuccessfully.

But somehow, he seems to be lulled by a feeling… a rather soothing cold sensation. And instead of fighting against the initial reaction, he gives in to the call of the strange wind. He closes his eyes and then he starts hearing seductive laughter circling the room. Raidou ends up re-opening his eyes to the siren call of a beautiful woman…

"Rai… dou… kun…" Her delicious-looking lips part gracefully as she speaks in such flirtation. The woman is floating on top of him and then she holds on his face, "You're so handsome… Raidou-kun. You look like the type of man… who shouldn't be always…" She chuckles and gets nearer for a kiss, "No, Raidou-kun must always be satisfied…"

NEDD: Meikyuu no Entities

"Baka…" Mikoto cannot help but to whisper the very curse of a description for her older brother. Hidan is making fun of her again and unlike her normal state, she seems to be in the peak of her temper. She is not mad of either of her loved ones, she is actually mad about the way things had gone. Her thoughts are filled with what-ifs and her occupancy is as high as her irritation and temper.

Full meter.

"Hahah, so why are you frowning, Imooto?" Hidan speaks after whistling around the abandoned West Wing, "Seeing another ghost like… Mommy! Help me!" Mikoto then pouts and then she huffs, "I'm not in the mood to play, Aniue. I'm leaving!" The older Narueri chuckles and then he tries to spook her some more, "Oooooh~! Imooto sounds so cute when she gets so scared!"

The girl goes back to the staircase as she ignores the annoying brother. She then faces the stairs… seeing the same ghost of a lonely man leaning at a wall. Mikoto then speaks to him as she descends from the steps, "Yo." He then gestures her to keep it down… since there are two people who are eventually talking nearby. Their faint voices come into her earshot and then she decides to sneak and listen… just the naughty Mikoto.

"Are you stupid? You can't do that" Akari then hisses at the male redhead before her. He then turns away and then he speaks, "Look, Akari. I know you can see them and I can't. Your sisters can see them either. However, Namiashi can't and he doesn't even believe you in the first place. I just wanted to make sure you're safe."

"Why? There's no us anymore, okay?" Akari frowns at him and she keeps on hissing, "You have been victimized twice, tough guy. I don't want anyone getting hurt just because that person wanted to see me safe."

"Akari, you don't understand…" A moment of silence. "I still love you. And I never, ever will let you get hurt." Sasori then starts to scream around, "That bastard doesn't know how to protect you! He might even leave you the moment he convinces himself you're insane!" Akari then slaps him and then she growls with utterly mad eyes, "How dare you say that to me!?"

She then screams, "Don't you know how… how…?" The female redhead then holds on to her head and her knees begin to get weak. Sasori then catches her and he speaks, "Hey, Akari!" The girl then clutches at her hair in pain… seeing a rather brutal scene. Blood is painting everything there is and she finds herself bleeding to death. Her tummy is also rather big yet it hurts like it has been crushed seconds ago. The redhead continues to scream…

Mikoto frozen on her feet.

Her eyes react differently as she stares at her practical sister. The pupils of her eyes are wildly shaking… the missile-target sensation building up again. However, it feels like it belongs to a crashing plane— confused of which target to destroy. Until the raven begins to feel a certain presence beside the male. It looks so small and weak… feebly fidgeting on the floor.

"Akari!" Sasori then grabs the girl to his chest and he shakes her vigorously, "Wake up! You're having another nightmare!" The female then twitches… feeling herself as she trembles badly. The woman then embraces her ex-lover back as she whispers, "…I'm so sorry. This has been happening lately…"

Mikoto looks away and leans at the walls of the staircase. Minato walks down towards her and he wipes off the liquid in the raven's eyes, "Are you okay? You better get used to it. You'll need it to protect everyone…" The raven nods and she walks away in confusion. Her healthy energy has been drained and all she wants to do is to go back to her room…

And wipe off the blood from her eyes.

She doesn't know how or why… but it seems that the event earlier has triggered her eyes to bleed. Though it is a dangerous and threatening case, she doesn't even thought of running to Akari or to her older sister. Everyone has enough problems to deal with… and she somewhat hates to burden people. Even if it sacrifices her emotional stability…

The raven girl walks back to her room as she wipes the blood off with her uniform blazer which is to be laundered. However, a small something lies in front of her door… which she excitingly picks up. Opening the bag harshly, she finds a box of sweets… probably candies of her fascination. Her dull eyes regain its twinkle and she runs towards someone's room— hoping to enjoy it with a rather sweet-hater.

"Rai-Rai, baka…" She whispers with a happy tune as if forgetting every inch of her confusion and frustrations earlier. She doesn't even think about Akari's day-nightmares or the fact that her eyes bled out of a strange sensation. She doesn't have the answers… no one has… might as well not think of it seriously until she has more clues.

Mikoto is about to knock when she hears strange noises from the room. Thinking of the possibilities, she blushes and realizes that she shouldn't walk in at moments of passion. But… then again, Akari is with Sasori. Who the hell could be in the room with him!? The cheeky raven gulps in and tampers with the door… to find it unlocked. She peeps inside via the crack she made—

"What in the world…?" She whispers as another strange moment occurs to her eyes. Likewise a night, her eyes begin to zero in at a hotspot where nothing is supposed to be. However, unlike any other encounter with that feeling— her vision turns red due to the blood… revealing a horrid creature flying above her love interest.

The creature possesses these long lacerations and long… crustacean-whiskers. The strands of her hair appear unkempt as well as her clothes. Her complexion resembles the metal bars and her skin is awfully–wrinkled and dangling around the edges. Mikoto stares deeper into the figure… forgetting the scene she is about to break.

The creature then notices the burning gaze… hissing in anger for the disturbance. Her shrill scream then deafens the two and then Raidou is finally out of trance. The cold sensation vanishes in an instant and then he looks around… only to find Mikoto standing by the doorway— blood covering most of her face, "…Miku-Miku?"

The raven twitches and then she asks in full worry, "Rai-Rai! What is that!? Are you alright!?" The guy wonders at her source of worry and then she twitches yet again. Mikoto runs towards him and slams at the bed, "Rai-Rai! Why are you thinking getting near something super horrid and disgusting like that!? Are you out of your mind!?"

"What are you talking about? And why the fuck do you have blood on your face!?"

"No time to explain! Just tell me what you are doing!? Seeing!?" The guy frowns at the girl and he uses his hand to push her away— her nose getting flattened painfully, "I'm not talking when you're not." However, the guy deeply recalls the face of the woman he has seen earlier. There is no way that she is a resident of the house… might as well be a ghost.

But can a ghost really be so good like that?

Soon, hands begin scratching at his face as well. He twitches madly as he realizes that Mikoto is now pulling on his cheeks as revenge for the push. He let goes and then Mikoto consoles her nose, "Seriously, Rai-Rai. You should be more careful." The raven then stares directly at his dark eyes and then he sighs with a smile… cupping a hand at her head, "Don't worry about me. I'm not hurt. You should let Matsuri see your eyes. You might go blind…"

Mikoto happily nods and then she remembers about the sweets at her pocket, "Say, Rai-Rai. You want some sweets?"

"How could you be so bipolar?" The cheeky raven then just grins and is about to sit down. Her eyes venture down at the bed to look for a seat… only to be invited by something else. It has been standing there for quite some time now… but still it won't wilt. How could she be so forgetful? And Raidou, too? The guy twitches yet again and then he looks down at what she has been eyeing at for a while, "Holy shit!"

The girl then turns around and panics in frustration… "P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-PANTS!"

End of Chapter 3

I have decided to change formats and align it with my usual ones. So, sorry for the very long delay! I wish I could update again some other time! I almost ended up writing Shizu-chan at lines where Rai-Rai should be. If you know what I mean…

NO RH WIKI for today's chapter.

Things are actually getting rougher than before… even back when all we see are ghosts. Sour things also happen now that jealousy and envy mix over people and no one can actually help himself or herself. Though more people are choosing to keep it and endure. Issues about our eyes pull us deeper and deeper into the pits of mystery. Be it me, Matsu-nee and Akari. And it feels like… now… no one is going to be in peace…
