Disclaimer: I don't own anything Gravitation.
A/N: Thanks for reviewing you guys. Really appreciate it. Well, sorry it took so long but I just back from vacation and now schools starting, so I've been busy. This one is for the scary movie. And also, this is to put some focus on Hiro and Suguru since I felt I was leaving them out, so don't expect to see too much Shuichi. Well, here ya go.
Chapter 4: Little House of Horrors
Current order of seating:
They are sitting in two rows of semi circles.
Back row from left to right:
Kyra, Ryuichi, Tohma, Yuki, Shuichi, Kyo, Terra, Hiro.
Front row (on floor: cushions, bean bags, etc.) from left to right:
Sano, Josie, Noriko, Haru, Genjo, Jin, Mr. K, Suguru.
The movie had just started and already some psychotic serial killer was shown cutting off parts of people's body for God knows what reason. Ryuichi, Kyra, Terra, Suguru, and Shuichi were already plowing into their chocolates. They did not do well with gruesome movies.
Kyo was sitting back, as was Yuki, Sano, and K. So far, they thought it was pathetic. Little did they know that in the course of the next fifteen minutes their opinion would soon change. Meanwhile, not five minutes after the actual movie started, pass the previews, Yuki and Kyo would sometimes give a quick glance at each other before returning their eyes to the TV.
The girls (except Kyra who is used to seeing hot men in the acting business) were starting to drool as an incredibly hot actor appeared on the scene. Kyo looked over at Terra as did Sano at Josie, and the two men put one finger under the girl's chin and closed their mouths in unison.
About twenty minutes later Shuichi had become a part of the couch, Kyra and Ryuichi were hugging each other to death, both with pale faces. Tohma was leaning over, holding his stomach; Sano had dinner plates for eyes and was visibly flinching; Suguru was clinging to K, who was paling; Josie and Noriko were hiding behind Sano; Jin was becoming sickly looking; Haru and Genjo were calmly sipping their cups of hot cocoa; and Kyo and Yuki had started a staring contest out of the blue, completely ignoring the movie.
"I'm going to get more chocolates," Kyra said, as she grabbed her tray and left the room.
Ryuichi then clinged to the next closest person, Tohma.
"Me too," Noriko and Josie both got up and followed her into the kitchen.
Kyo finally broke the staring contest as a shriek from the TV, then from Terra scared the tar out of him.
Kyra, Josie, and Noriko all poked their heads out from the kitchen.
"What is it?" they asked.
"Th-the….the," she stuttered.
"What?"
"The hot actor died!!!!"
Josie and Kyra both let out cries of anguish as Noriko rolled her eyes and headed back into the kitchen.
Haru glanced around for the remote, found it, and paused the movie
"Alright, I think now would be a good time to take a break since we have another hour and a half to go."
Everyone stared blankly at him.
"HOUR AND A HALF?!?!" they screamed.
"Well, yeah. It's only forty-five minutes into the movie."
"WHAT?!"
"Yup. So you all go take a break and-," he paused. "Where'd Shuichi go?"
Kyo and Yuki blinked, looked at each other, then down.
"Can he actually go that far into the couch?" Hiro asked.
The only part of Shuichi that was sticking out was his head and his legs, but they were covered by a heavy blanket.
"Somebody wake him up in case he's passed out," and with that said, Genjo stood and walked off toward the restroom.
Everyone went and took their breaks and as it turned out, Shuichi wasn't unconscious. He was stuck and his mouth was covered by his knee so he couldn't speak and could barely breathe for his nose was also being crushed.
They tried pulling him out, but he was indeed stuck. That is until K just pulled out the cushion allowing the boy to move. Which, by the way, he would've done had he not been stuck in that position for thirty minutes. And so time passed as they straightened Shuichi out, the boy deciding to sit on the floor this time.
Finally, they got back to the movie.
'NO! NO! Please! Oh, God no!!! PLEASE!!!'
Everyone except Haru and Genjo were at the edge of their seats as the woman started begging for her life from the serial killer who was collecting parts of people's bodies to create the perfect wife. He already killed eight little girls and made the 'perfect daughter'. Now for his wife, he wanted her face.
"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Sano, Kyo, Tohma, Yuki, Hiro, and K could no longer breathe as those who were afraid clutched onto them as if avoiding their own death by killing them.
After that scene things calmed down a bit and the stranglers released their grips. Haru and Genjo glanced at each, smirked, and then turned back to the movie. However, no one took note that every now and then they would disappear.
Finally the movie ended and they all sighed in relief.
"Wow. That is all I have to say," Kyra said.
Terra gulped. "Oh, I have a lot to say, that I'll tell ya."
"That was sick,"(sick as in 'sweet' or 'tight') Genjo finished off his cocoa.
"I loved it," Haru commented. "Let's watch it again."
"NO!!!" the answer came at once by everyone except Genjo.
"Is it just me," Noriko stated. "Or is it getting chilly in here?"
Now that she brought it up, everyone noted that they were very cold. Kyo got up and checked the thermostat.
"Thirty degrees? No wonder."
"Why would it be thirty degrees?"
"No clue. I'll check the closet where the heater is," he disappeared around a corner and came back a few minutes later.
"Heaters broken. Some critter dug through rotted wall and made a rather large hole, freezing up some parts while it was snowing."
"Ah, great. How are we gonna stay warm?"
"There's a supply shed fifteen minutes from here. I'm sure it'll have some tools to fix this kind of thing. As well as some other things, like blankets."
"No offense, but what is a supply shed doing fifteen minutes from these huts?" Suguru asked.
"It's for emergencies. Close enough so we can make it there on foot, and far away enough to protect us from whatever danger might be here."
"Oh."
"I guess we better get going."
"I'll go get my coat."
Tohma turned to them. "He'll probably need some help, so Noriko, Yuki, K; let's go with them."
"Why me?" Yuki asked.
"We need some muscles."
Yuki frowned and folded his arms.
"Come on," Tohma threw on his coat as did the other three.
"I'll come too," Sano volunteered, tossing on his shoes.
Kyo came back. "Oh, extra help, eh?" he opened the door. "Let's go."
They all piled out the door and the sound of the car engines were heard not long after. Then silence. Everyone sat there, in the cold, glancing at each other.
Josie decided to break the silence. "So, what'd you guys think?"
"That was freakin' scary," was all Jin said.
"No joke," Kyra agreed. "Who would kill a bunch of little girls?"
"It wasn't real you guys," Genjo commented.
"Yeah, it just looked real."
"Easy for you two to say. You could watch the top ten scariest movies in the world, have someone create a scene exactly like it with you two as the victims and you probably wouldn't even break a sweat," argued Terra.
Haru and Genjo looked at each, and for the second time that night, smirked a knowing smirk.
"What?" Terra was a little nervous at that look.
"Nothing. We agree," Haru said.
"Ya know; it's really weird that you were petrified when you found Mo 'supposedly dead'," Josie started. "And yet a horror flick like this can't even get you to gape."
Haru lowered his eyes.
"I hated the guy's red gloves. You know, 'cause they were colored with blood," Ryuichi said.
"I am never going to recover from that," Shuichi managed to speak. "It looked so real!"
Ryuichi, Hiro, and Suguru all nodded.
"What was the scariest thing for you, Shu?" Kyra asked.
Shuichi pondered a moment before replying. "Probably with the victims, how he came thirty minutes before midnight every night and finished by twelve when the bell would ring, leaving a carving of a cross in the middle of the bed."
"Yeah, and how he left no trace of their death and killed everyone else in the house and they'd appear to the detective as ghosts."
"Oh, yeah. It was really creepy when the dad saw his little girl's ghost and how she went 'Watch out behind you,' in that oober creepy voice. Then he turns around and there's the killer about to ax him."
"Yeah, it's a good thing Genjo warned me about that," Haru stated.
Everyone looked at him.
"What do you mean Genjo warned you?" Josie asked.
"I've seen it before," Genjo simply shrugged.
"Why didn't you say something?"
"Because then you'd would ask me a whole bunch of questions."
"...you don't know me."
"Hey, I bet you don't know where they got the idea for this movie, do you?" he grinned.
Josie gave him a peculiar look. "What do you mean?"
"This movie was based off a real man who really did kill children and women to create the perfect daughter and wife."
"Nah uh!"
"No lie. In real life, his wife and daughter had died of a disease and no friend of either of them donated blood or organs to try and save them, so he went after them and collected the parts himself. Only he wanted to create a more beautiful wife and daughter, but was found and imprisoned before he could finish either."
"Really?" Suguru asked.
"Yup. Rumor has it that he escaped and hasn't been seen or heard from since."
"How long ago was this?" Hiro asked.
Genjo paused for a while. "Eight years."
"You're shittin' me," Josie exclaimed.
"No lie. And every now and then a murder will occur in the night on a woman or a little girl and police reports stated she died at eleven-thirty PM," he pointed to the clock.
It read 11:29 PM.
…..
…..
11:30
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" An ear piercing scream was heard through the house and everyone jumped out of their skin.
"What the hell was that?!" exclaimed Jin.
Everyone froze and paled.
"MORGAN!!" they rushed upstairs and slammed open the door to the girl's room. The bed covers were pulled up.
Kyra panicked and flicked on the lights and everyone stood in silence. Morgan was missing from her bed, replaced by a cross carved into the mattress.
"Oh, my….," Kyra stumbled backward. "Oh, I'm being stupid. It was just a movie. She probably just got scared of a nightmare or something and went to find one of us."
"Yeah, yeah. That's explainable," Terra nodded.
"And the cross?" Shuichi asked.
They all gulped.
"Let's just split up and look for her, m'kay?" Kyra said.
"But what about the kil-,"
"It was a movie!" Kyra, Terra, and Josie retorted back.
Shuichi went silent.
They went in pairs. Haru and Jin, Genjo and Kyra, Josie and Terra, Suguru and Hiro, and Shuichi and Ryuichi. Each pair had a flashlight just in case.
"So do you think it could really be him?" Suguru asked as he and Hiro glanced down a hallway.
"Well, Genjo did say it was eight years ago. Maybe he heard of us being way out here and decided to strike."
They heard a clink behind them and shot around. No one.
Suguru gulped. "I really wish you didn't say that."
"That makes two of us."
-ELSEWHERE
Josie and Terra opened a door to a bedroom and glanced in.
"Well, no one here. Let's go," Terra turned to walk away but Josie grabbed her collar.
"Come on you big chicken. We have to find Morgan," Terra sighed and nodded.
Then she turned and the two went in. Shining the flashlight around first, Josie decided it was safe. They went in a ways and began searching. Terra was avoiding the bed, but Josie crouched down next to it and shined the flashlight under the bed.
"Josie, you have got to be the bravest person."
"There's nothing under here. If you're so afraid, turn on the lights," Terra nodded and went to the light switch next to the door.
The lights didn't come on.
"Josie?"
"Hm?"
"The lights aren't coming on," she flicked the switch on and off but the room stayed darkened.
"It's fine. Here, come and take the flashlight," Josie held it out as she searched the closet.
Terra walked over and just as she took hold of it, the door slammed shut.
"EEP!" the two squeaked and turned toward the door.
Neither of them spoke but both seemed to be thinking the same thing. Josie rushed over and jiggled the handle. Their suspicions were confirmed. It was locked.
"Josie."
"Don't say it Terra."
"But-,"
"It's fine. The flashlight lights up the majority of the room. Even if he was in here, we would've heard him or seen him."
"But what if-,"
"We already searched the room. Where could he hide?"
The shower curtain in the bathroom was heard shutting.
The two turned slowly toward the open room and Terra backed up towards Josie, shining the flashlight at the bathroom.
"Did you check the bathroom?" Terra's voice began to get higher.
Josie gulped. "No," her voice matched her friend's.
A shadow suddenly appeared in the light.
The two screamed.
-ELSEWHERE
Shuichi and Ryuichi exited the bathroom, a sigh of relief from coming out empty handed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A blood-curdling scream rang in their ears.
"That sounds like-,"
"Josie and Terra!"
The two rushed off. They turned hallways, not sure where they were headed when they ran into something, falling back.
"Ow," the two looked up and came eye to eye with Suguru and Hiro.
"Did you two hear it?" Shuichi asked.
Hiro nodded.
"But I'm not sure where it came from."
"We already checked those hallways, and since you came from there that leaves two."
"Got cha. Let's go," Hiro helped up the pianist and the two rushed off in one direction.
Ryuichi and Shuichi took the other.
"I hope they're OK," said Ryuichi.
Shuichi could only nod.
---
Hiro and Suguru turned a corner and came to the railing hovering above the big hall way.
"Ah, where could they be?!" Hiro exclaimed.
Suguru wasn't thinking about the two girls anymore, however. Instead, he froze in place and could only look to his right.
Hiro noticed.
"Suguru?" he looked in the direction the boy was staring.
And he too froze.
"Morgan?"
The girl stood there, white as a cloud. Just like the ghosts in the movie.
"Beware," her voice was raspy and very disturbing.
The two's hair stood on end.
"Behind you," she said.
She needn't say anymore.
The two screamed bloody murder and zoomed off past the little girl. They kept running and running until they crashed into another pair.
They looked up at Haru and Jin. The two seemed pale.
"What's wrong?" Jin asked.
"W-w-we j-j-j-just sssss-s-aw Mo-oo-orrrgan," Suguru stuttered. "S-sshe's a g-g-g-gg-ggg-g-ghost!"
Haru and Jin paled even more and gave a scared looked at each other.
"What?" Hiro asked.
"We just saw Kyra and Genjo," Haru said. "They were ghosts too."
All four paled even more. It was then they noticed they were in a hallway they hadn't been in before. A very shadowed hallway. They turned blue.
And just as they thought this, something grasped Hiro's shoulders. The boy froze, a chill running up his spine. The others froze too, stunned. Hiro glanced down at what was grasping him.
A pair of hands.
A pair of hands…..wearing red gloves.
Slowly, he turned around, and, although he couldn't make out the face, he knew he was looking a man in the eye. A killer.
He didn't even have enough breath to scream as he freaked out and punched the hands off of him as he and the others dashed away. Down hallway after hallway they ran as fast as they could. Suddenly, they turned a corner and faced a ghost Kyra.
"Beware," she mumbled.
They screamed and dashed off in the other direction but Haru ran into someone. Red gloved hands grabbed the blue haired boy, who screamed.
"HELP! YOU GUYS HELP!!" but before they could do anything, Haru was dragged off, his shadow and the killer's illuminated against the wall.
The killer drew an ax and brought it down on the defenseless singer.
"HARU!" Jin and Hiro shouted but Suguru quickly tugged on them, and realizing they could nothing, ran off.
Kyra looked around the corner at the disappearing figures and once they were out of sight, shook the flour off of her, wiping her eyes free of the cooking ingredient.
"Guys, I think we should stop. They looked petrified," Kyra said.
Genjo helped Haru up off the floor.
"Ow," Haru said rubbing his back. "Damn, Haru. The plan was to hit me gently in a believing way. Even if it's not metal plastic that thick still hurts."
"Oh, don't be such a wimp," Genjo said as he removed the gloves and trench coat.
Not long after he disposed of the items, he received a painful blow in the back of his head.
"OW!!!" he turned and faced two very pissed girls.
"Oh. Hey," he gave a way.
"That….was not…..funny!" Terra was fuming.
"So you got out of the room, did ya?"
"NO THANKS TO YOU!" Josie snatched the ax and hit Haru and Genjo twice.
"Ow! What was that for?!" Haru asked.
"Don't play innocent! Mo told us everything!" just as Terra said this, the little girl came up to them, clean and fresh.
"Oh, did they get the flour off for you, Mo?"
"Yup. They were panicking in the room so I decided to let them out."
"You do know that was just the dogs in there, right?" Haru asked.
"Yeah, not too long after they scared the shit out of us when we were tackled!"
"Isn't amazing what dogs will do for meaty treats these days?" Haru grinned at Genjo.
The two girls glared.
"Oh, hey!" Kyra said as she finished wiping off the flour with a towel she carried around.
"You were in on this?!?!" the two other members of Mask gaped.
"Well not at first, but Genjo filled me in because I was so worried."
"Oh."
"Anyway, has anyone seen Shu or Ryuichi?"
"Yeah!" Mo said. "I scared them and they locked themselves in a closet."
"Right on, Mo!" Genjo leaned down and put up his hand.
Morgan gave him a high five and the two (as well as Haru) grinned. Josie and Terra folded their arms.
"You three should run a haunted house," Terra grumbled.
"Who told you about that?"
---
When the boys, plus Noriko, finally returned, Haru and Genjo were seated comfortably on the couch, conversing and eating snacks; Jin, Suguru, Terra, and Josie were all playing Go Fish; and Hiro, Kyra, and Mo were attempting to convince Shuichi and Ryuichi it was a joke and that they can come out now.
While the others went to go put the tools in the room, Kyo walked up with Noriko holding blankets to Haru and Genjo.
"So what'd you guys do while we were gone?"
Haru and Genjo looked up at him and smirked.
"We can tell you nothing except that the movie 'Connections' is going to be no where near as funny as what we just watched."
Me: AND END CHAPTER! Man that was a little mean to Shu and them.
Haru: Yeah, no kidding.
Genjo: But it was SO hilarious.
Me: How could you guys be so mean?
Haru and Genjo: Us?
Genjo: You wrote it.
Kyra: Well you guys aren't exactly opposing it.
Me: Yeah.
Haru and Genjo: So?
Me: I think you should be punished.
Genjo: What're you gonna do? Throw us down a mountain?
Haru: Yeah, like it's funny twice.
Me: Actually, ya know, I was thinking. We need some romance and you two would make a fine gay couple.
Haru and Genjo: …….-.-; you better be joking.
Me: Either that or I could pair you with another guy.
Jin: Not with me.
Haru and Genjo: BUT- I'M NOT GAY!!!
Me: You are now. Please R&R!! And tell me what you think about Haru and Genjo!
Haru and Genjo: HEY! I-
Me: END!!!
