"How many of you believe in ghosts?"

The class was silent for a moment, no one raising their hand. Yu frowned in confusion as she looked around the room. "No one? Oh dear..."

Sasori glanced at Kisame and Kakuzu. They were looking down at their desk, Kisame back to fiddling with his shirt, Kakuzu stroking the rosary he wore.

The red head could see the three ghosts standing behind the teens, Deidara's eyes fixed on the teacher, Itachi and Hidan's on their friends.

"You all will fail this class then," Yu declared, slamming her folder to the desk. "Spirits are such a part of our everyday lives...Even though I lost everything because of them, I still see no reason why you shouldn't believe in their existence."

People were exchanging looks by now, looking rather amused at their new teacher. Sasori frowned.

He didn't really trust her, talking about ghosts as she was in front of non believers. Could she have a sixth sense as well?

"Danna...she's giving off this weird vibe, un..." Deidara whispered, gliding over to Sasori, Itachi nodding as Hidan merely sighed.

Yu, who had turned around to write on the board, whipped back around. "I want my class to remain silent for the whole lesson, if you can."

A prep, named Isabella Terza, timidly raised a hand, pink nails flashing in the light. Yu raised an eyebrow at her. "Yes?"

"But Ms Heirarch...no one was talking..." she said, looking confused as she fiddled with her low cut cami top. Yu merely smiled.

"There are people here you can't see, Isabella."

Isabella gasped. "How...How do you know my name?! We haven't told you our names..."

Yu's smile grew wider. "I told you, there are people here that know you, can see you, talk to you...but you can't reach out to them."

Isabella drew back, looking seriously scared. Sasori's frown grew deeper as he heard Deidara hiss.

"She has spirit sight, danna...." the blonde whispered. Itachi nodded again.

"How the hell can she fucking see us? A bitch like her..."

Yu turned back to the board, then paused, twisting her neck to look back at the class. "And yes, young man, I do have spirit sight."

Deidara blanched, and he and the two other ghosts quickly floated back up to the ceiling.

Yu sighed and shook her head. "Sasori Akasuna, see me after school."

Sasori sat down in the chair in front of his teacher's desk, having sent his spirits friends to go to his house ahead of him. Yu herself was standing by the window, looking out at the street, busy with students making their way home. Finally, she turned and faced the red head. "I know who you are."

Sasori raised an eyebrow. "What am I, then?"

She turned to face him, the light catching her hair and making it look like a burst of fire. "That dead blonde...he awoke your second sight, right?"

Slowly, he nodded.

"It'd going to get dangerous for you and those boys, the dead and living. Your spiritual power is stronger than you think, Sasori."

"Who are you?" Sasori whispered, getting to his feet and backing towards the door.

Yu sighed. "I'm a spiritual guide to the afterlife. I would have led your friends away by now, but they are bound here."

Sasori narrowed his eyes as he fiddled with his cross. "By what?"

"You. You, and Kakuzu and Kisame. They can't die because they are bound to you." Her smirk grew wider as she smoothed down her hair.

"They're bound to us?" Sasori whispered, feeling confused.

She nodded, hair bouncing, her smile growing. "You see, Sasori, they have regrets. And their regrets involve their closest friends." She paused. "What I'm saying is, they have something they need to tell you all before they can die and move on."

"What is it?" his voice was getting quieter.

Yu shrugged as she leaned against the window. "You need to find that out yourself. If I tell you what they have to say, they'll be stuck here forever."

Sasori felt his face grow white.

"And they'd always be here, unless a ghost hunter came for them. It's not just you that smells of spirits and power. They also are stronger than they believe."

Sasori cocked his head, red hair falling onto one shoulder as he shut one eye. "How are they powerful?"

Yu leaned her head back against the glass. "Let's just say that them dying had given them special abilities. I know a little about them, though. Itachi Uchiha...his gift is within his eyes. They can control, corrupt, destroy...easily."

"What about Hidan and Dei?" the red head asked.

"Deidara can create explosives out of anything, or that is what I've heard. That gift is rare, and very dangerous. Hidan...I don't know what he has yet...but Hidan has more spiritual power than either of the other two."

She closed her eyes. "He has power...a lot of it. Demons and humans are going to fight for his soul, along with Itachi's and Deidara's. They have something most ghosts don't, and that is why they are gifted."

She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. "You have to bring them back to life before their souls are destroyed. Find the naga called Orochimaru Asp. He will demand a price for their return, but if he finds out their power, he will try to use him."

Sasori stared at the woman. "Demons...want their souls?" he choked out. She looked down at him and nodded.

"A demon is coming here for them, and most likely for you as well. Many, in fact, but this one is the strongest. I'm betting she will go for their souls, and kill you as well."

"She?"

Yu sighed. "Yes, a female demon, one who sings songs to call souls to hell and rips them apart before Satan himself. The most powerful in the underworld, the singer of death..." she paused, shoving her hair from her face.

"My twin sister."
