Chapter 7
"Naruto, Naruto, do you hear me," Sakura called to her blonde friend as they were still looking. They had looked in the first floor again thinking that maybe he had gone to look for them their but were mistaken.
As they were making their way to the stairway, they noticed a door slightly ajar. Neither teen had noticed this when they had passed it more than twice, and since it was under the stairs they doubt they would have noticed at all.
"Maybe the dobe went in there," Sasuke suggested as he moved his feet a little to indicate to Sakura that he wanted to go investigate the room.
As they got closer, a crispy air current hit their faces like a gentle breeze. "Sasuke it's pretty dark in there," Sakura whispered to him as she opened the door a little with the end of her foot.
"Yea, but don't worry I'm right here," Sasuke replied as he gave her a rare smile and took hold of her hand. Nodding in satisfaction, Sasuke fully opened the door as he stepped in first with Sakura behind him.
As the door was wide opened, it made a creaking noise due to the rusted hedges, and as they stepped in the wooden floor went into a symphony of creaks and cracks.
Since the only light source was coming from outside the opened doorway it was hard to see, but it was a good thing Sakura had the small flashlight in her back pocket that she had gotten from before they had started searching the house.
Turning the little piece of light equipment, a faint light casted on a short amount of area. Both were quite amazed at what they both saw. It was a room full of antique clothes, that dated to the 1760's, with furniture and other old materials.
"Sakura, point the light to your right," Sasuke said as Sakura did as she was told. When the light radiated the spot, there was a piece of parchment lifting up from the ground, all the way at the end of the room.
Making their way over there, after having trouble moving throughout the cramped space, they saw that it was an opening to, which looked like a basement.
----
Once both were down there, they saw an old boiling stove that was connected to the ceiling; which Sasuke guessed was connected to the bathroom shower and kitchen appliances.
"Sasuke the fire is still burning," Sakura noted to her complete horror. "What, how can that be possible? No one has been in this house for more than a hundred years." Sasuke replied with sheer interest and a hint of terror in his voice
Making their way to the opening in which they had come down from Sakura noticed a shiny, circular object on the dusty floor.
Reaching out to grab it she brought to her face to realize that she was holding a gold ring that had 'Love Forever' inscribed in the inside of the jewelry.
Now being in the same dark, cramped room they were in previously, they made their way across the room.
All of a sudden, thumps, like feet running, were heard from upstairs. "Maybe its Naruto," Sakura assumed silently as they were outside the room with Sasuke closing the door behind them.
---
'Thump, resurfaced the sound, they had heard previously, in a rhythm of five seconds apart from the time it began to when it stopped.
'Thump,'
'Thump,'
'Thump,'
'Thump'
'Thump'
"It's coming from in there," Sasuke pointed at the end of the right side of the hallway. Looking at each other, they made their way to the bedroom from which they heard the noise.
Slowly turning the doorknob Sasuke peeked in through the small crack of the door. Not only was Naruto there, but he was tied up and had cloth covering his mouth excusing him from making any noise.
He then noticed something, or rather someone, on either side of Naruto. They were white figures in what seemed to be in a child likes form; it seemed, as they were both standing guard as to not let anyone take the blonde boy.
Closing the door Sasuke turned to a confused Sakura. "Well Naruto is in there but he's not alone, there are two brats standing next to him."
"Kids?" Sakura asked.
"Well ghost kids," he specified.
"So how do we get Naruto out of there?" the cherry haired girl asked her companion as she was still trying to surpass the shiver after hearing there were ghosts in that room.
Letting out a sigh, Sasuke knew the answer to that question. "Well the only way to get in there is to barge in, take Naruto, and try to find another way out of this hell house."
He felt Sakura tense at the suggestion of having to face a dead person, let alone two mere children; he quickly gave her a chaste kiss on the lips and both teens faced the door, hand in hand, to face whatever was brought their way.
