XXX breaks…..so I think this will be ending soon…I think.

Chapter 7: Back

"New chairs?" Kankuro asked. The three of them were in the Kazekage's office.

"Yeah," Gaara said, a little in disbelief. Just a little, though, because it was Kankuro.

"So I was trying to fall back asleep when I heard someone. It called out my name and said that we were all in trouble. That we needed to get out of the house because there were evil spirits. Well, I think just one. He said that he and another one came from the board. He also said his name was Konner," Temari told them.

"He looked more like a Bill to me," Kankuro added.

"What does it mean Gaara?" Temari asked him, ignoring Kankuro.

"That we are having some spiritual connections," Gaara answered.

Kankuro cleared his throat, "In other words are house is haunted."

"It's not haunted," Gaara said.

"Yes it is. Temari talked to a ghost and we saw it. How much more proof do you want?"

Temari stood up from her seat, "Look, I'm not saying our house is haunted, but I'm not saying that there are ghosts in our house."

Everyone stood silent for a moment.

"So what do we do about it?" Kankuro asked.

"We have to get rid of them," Temari replied.

"But how?"

"We have to get rid of the board," Gaara confirmed.

"Where are we going to put it? What if we have to trap the ghost in there before? What if they still don't leave?"

"Wow, Kankuro, you really thought this through," Temari observed.

"Well, of course, I'm Kankuro."

"And there ends his streak of brilliance."

Gaara looked out the window at Suna. The beautiful village was glistening under the moonlight. His village slept silently in the midnight hours. Well, except for them.

"We need to make contact with this ghost," Gaara told them.

"How?" Temari asked.

"I am not going back there?" Kankuro declared.

"Chicken."

"Yes, you are," Gaara reprimanded.

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

Temari stood up, "We should go now."

"Here ghosty, ghosty. Here boy," Kankuro called.

"Kankuro he's not a dog," his blonde sister shot.

"Well how do you suppose we him to come?"

"By calling his name. Konner!"

There was a breeze in their dark living room and then a blue light appeared.

"Okay so maybe this technique did work," Kankuro said.

"I told you to run and leave this place," The ghost, Konner said. He shimmered in the air.

"How did you get trapped in the board?" Gaara asked.

"You'll die."

"Tell us!"

"Alright, alright. A couple of years ago I met a woman named Kaytrina. I fell in love with her right away. I was going to ask her to marry me after two years when I found out she was seeing another man by the name of Tom. He was an evil man who never gave a rat's ass about anyone but himself. I didn't understand how Kaytrina could love such a man. She couldn't choose between us, so she put our spirits in the Ouija board until she made her decision. We are trapped now until one of us truly says that he does not love Kaytrina or until she sets us free. And there is also another way. You have to free one soul and destroy the board with the other soul in it. This is not an easy thing to do."

"Is that all?" Kankuro asked.

Konner nodded his head.

"We don't have an option then. We have to free you," Gaara said.

"Wonder how we're going to break this?" Kankuro replied. Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari stood before the board.

"How are we going to free this soul?" Temari demanded.

"True to that,"

"What? Don't try to act ghetto cause your not."

"Can't a guy joke?"

"Sure, if you were joking."

"Ouch."

"Focus," Gaara told them. Their attention went straight to what they were there for.

"So how are we doing this? How do you free a soul?" Temari asked openly.

"It's time to call Sundance," Kankuro said while nodding his head.

"NO!" Gaara and Temari yelled at the same time.

"Why not? She's the only one who will know what to do!" Kankuro argued.

"You don't know that? Besides weren't you happy that she left because you didn't have to pay her?" Temari replied.

"Well yeah but if it means getting those things out of the house I'll give her a thousand bucks. Besides, it's not like it's my money."

"What do you mean by that? Kankuro, you didn't," Gaara said in a warning tone.

"It was only a couple of times," Kankuro sheepishly admitted.

"What did he do?" Temari questioned.

"You know that Kazekage fund?" Gaara asked her.

"Yeah."

"Put it together."

"Wait- Kankuro you didn't! That's for Gaara and for emergencies! It's rightfully Gaara's!"

"Ah, don't worry so much, it was only twice," Kankuro said.

Gaara gave him a look.

"Okay, maybe three times."

Another look.

"Five times max."

"Kankuro!" Temari exclaimed, "How much did you take?"

"Um, about 800?"

"You took 800 out of Gaara's money?"

"Yes."

"You're going to pay me back, you know that right?" Gaara asked him.

"Yeah."

Temari shook her head, "So what are we doing?"

"I'll guess we'll have to go get hippy woman," Gaara sighed.

"Sundance," Kankuro corrected.

"I don't give a damn if her name is Sugarblossom had a freakin one legged turtle! You know why? Because I don't care."

"Well it's her name."

Temari interrupted them, "Let's just go get her."

Kankuro rolled his eyes and they went to her house.
