Kiko lay in the bed, the trauma of the house still fresh in her mind. Keiko walked in and sat on the bed next to her.

"Hey, you doin alright?" She asked softly, she knew how horrified Kiko was from that, she was too.

"What the hell was that?" she asked quietly.

"I honestly have no idea, but we've called the police so they could investigate the house." Keiko said.

"Man, that was a horrible experience." she said closing her eyes.

"Yeah it was; if I knew that kind of stuff was in there, I would've stayed away from that house. I'm sorry Kiko." she said giving her a hug and walking out of the room.

Sasuke walked in and lay down in front of her,"You doin okay?"

"Yeah, just still abit freaked out from that."

"Everyone is, no one wants to go outside now. I don't blame them, that was weird."

"Thanks for saving us." she smiled.

"You know I wouldn't let anything happen to you." he returned the smile.

"Hey, that's my line." she laughed quietly.

Sasuke rolled on his back and stared at the ceiling.

"Do you think Orochimaru could be behind this? I mean, with the spa and the window..." Kiko said.

"I wouldn't put it past him." Sasuke said bitterly.

Keiko walked in,"Knock Knock! C'mon, we're going fishing in the pond outside."

"Might wanna check for the Lock Ness Monster before we get out there." Kiko joked, feeling her happiness return.

"Ha ha, very funny. Now come on; gran said if we catch enough she'll make her famous tuna casserole for dinner tonight." Keiko said leaving.

"This is like...so boring." Kayako said staring at the water.

"I got another one!" Kiko exclaimed happily, reeling in the fish and putting it in the bucket with six more fish already in there.

So far, Kiko caught seven fish, Sasuke caught six, Keiko had four, and the other girls had given up.

"It's only been thirty minutes and you guys have already given up?" Keiko laughed.

"Hey, you guys are bringin them in just fine without us. We'll just sit this one out and stare at the water, letting our jealousy slowly drive us to drown you three and blame it on a rogue crocodile." Miko joked.

Sasuke was enjoying the quiet of the water, he found it soothing, and thankfully relaxing after the crazy house of horrors.

Walking back to the house, they were surprised to see police cars parked in front, then remembered why. When they entered the house, there were two officers talking to Keiko's grandparents, and a black body bag. When they walked in all conversation stopped.

"You the kids who called about the house?" one asked.

"Yeah." Keiko said.

"We just want to ask you a couple of questions of what went on while you were in the house." he said taking out a notepad," wanna explain to us what exactly happened to you while you were in there?"

"Well, we went in there, just to see what was there. We walked into the house and looked around for a bit. Saeko saw something and screamed, and Kiko and I jumped back. The wood on the floor was weak so we fell through, luckily Sasuke dove forward and caught us before we fell, and that when we saw these like...i think they were people, only they were, gaunt and kinda ghoulish, like someone kept them there and starved them." Keiko finished.

The officer finished writing it down and motioned for them to come forward,"Did it look anything like this?" he asked, unzipping the bag.

Everyone jumped back so fast they hadn't realized how far they were from it until they calmed down. There in the body bag, was one of the things that tried to grab them in the house, only it was dead.

"Oh my, what is that?" Keiko's grandmother asked.

"Well we know it's a person, only it's what's happened to them that concerns us. Looks like someone starved them inside that basement, and from how it tried to take a bite out of me, they only fed it human corpses. Our guess is someone using it to cover up murder, but these guys seem to be very agile, and strong, threw my partner her into the door, lucky it didn't dent. We only found this guy, and from how many you guys reported they've either escaped, or have been moved. We'll have some patrols come this way and search the forest, until then I'd suggest you all stay inside and lock your doors." he said, zipping up the body bag and leaving.

"Well...that was...okay." Yooko said heading towards her room.

"Well, this takes the cake for the most bizarre trip of my life." Kiko said looking after the cars in the window.

"Better it was us who discovered it than someone else." Keiko said.

"Why?"

"Because we were lucky, thanks to you new boyfriend we escaped without becoming entrees." Keiko said patting Sasuke on the back.

"True, I am lucky." she said hugging Sasuke.

That night, Kiko got out the shower and put on her bathrobe. She opened the cabinet with the mirror for a door to get her comb and closed it. She saw her reflection, as well as the reflection of one of the ghoulish men they saw at the house. At that same moment, Keiko was sitting in a chair listening to her music. She didn't realize what was about to happen until it grabbed her. Kiko screamed and rammed herself and it into the wall. Sasuke burst in and, surveying the scene for a quick second, grabbed the ghoulish man off of her and slammed it against the floor. Keiko struggled with the creature for a moment, then grabbed it by the head and flipped it over her shoulder on the ground. It quickly got back up, hissing at her and baring its crooked yellow teeth. Sasuke punched it in the face, and with a clawed hand it attempted to scratch one of his eyes out, but he moved before that could be done. It kicked him off of it and exited the bathroom to look for Kiko. The minute it exited the bathroom, Kiko hit it in the face with a metal bat, knocking it clear off its feet. Keiko dropped kicked the ghoul and it flipped over the couch as the other girls came in to see what was going on. The minute Miko saw the creature getting back up, she unplugged a lamb and threw it at its head. The lamb smashed on its head and knocked it down again as Keiko went into the kitchen to get a pan. It rose to chase her, but the other girls pulled the carpet it stood on and sent it falling down again. Kiko hit the ghoul with the bat as it tried to rise. It grabbed the bat and was about to attack her until Sasuke tackled it into the support beam of the corner of the room backfirst, it's spine cracked when it hit the beam, and it stopped moving. It tried to grab Keiko, but she punched it twice in the face, took the pan, and repeatedly bashed its head with it. It fell to the floor and Kayako took Kiko's taser, put it on full power, and began to shock it. Saeko got the pepper spray and emptied it into the creatures eyes. They didn't stop until it stopped screaming, and to make sure it was dead Keiko took a knife and plunged it into its head. They went to check on Sasuke and Kiko who were both holding one another, looking at the crumbled corpse before them. Through this all, Keiko's grandparents slept soundly.

"I told you, there could be a war going on and they wouldn't even budge." she said panting.
