Chapter 2
Kaiba arrived at the house within the hour. Yami was standing outside huddled in a comforter that was moth holed and shredded. He looked kind of creepy to Kaiba against the backdrop of the old "haunted" house. *Come on you don't actually believe him do you?* Kaiba thought to himself. The wind was picking up and some low dark clouds were moving in. He told the driver to go back home and wait for his call to pick him up. After he made sure the driver knew what he was doing, he turned and hurried up the front steps where the other boy was waiting. The shutters on the old house banged open and shut ominously. Kaiba shuddered as Yami led him inside. As he entered the front hall he realized how humongous the house really was. He turned in a small circle taking in the whole effect.
"Not very cleanly people are they?" Kaiba asked sarcastically.
"No I guess not, and I am afraid to even clean anything because it might jump right off the wall!" Yami said exasperated.
"We'll see about that when I am done here," said Kaiba matter of factly. "Couldn't you of called the ghost busters or something, I don't see why you called me. Heck I don't even know why I agreed to come."
"Very funny but please don't joke about that sort of thing. I take it very seriously, plus I believe it makes the house angry," Yami said quietly then shivered.
"Makes the house angry uh huh," Kaiba rolled his eyes. "Maybe someone is playing a trick on you Yami, did you ever think of that?"
"No I guess I didn't, but can people playing tricks make things fly across the room?"
"I don't know, there are probably ways, like wire and strings or something," Kaiba did not want to give in to Yami's suspicions.
"Well if you're so sure let's go investigate the attic. That is where most of the noise seems to be coming from," Yami folded his arms and glared at Kaiba. "Fine!"
"Fine! Let's go!"
"You go first Yami."
"No you I'm scared," whimpered Yami as he huddled more inside his comforter.
"What's with that blanket anyways, it looks so disgusting?"
"I. um. it's my blanket.I found it in the house ... it keeps me from being scared and stuff.got a problem with that?" Yami yelled the last part of his reluctant sentence.
"No, no problem here, just it's a little unseemly, and when was the last time you washed that thing?" Kaiba asked.
"You just never mind. I think you're stalling!" Yami accused Kaiba to take the heat off himself.
They started up the stairs side by side. Yami huddled in his blanket and Kaiba with his arms crossed. Kaiba was feeling drowsy seeing as it was now 12:45. He yawned and continued to climb.
"What does an old couple need such a huge house for anyways?" Kaiba asked.
"I guess it has been in the family for generations and generations or something like that. And they are like a hundred years old so that makes this house seriously ancient," Yami explained.
"Oh well maybe this house sets near, or even on top of a graveyard!" He said just to freak Yami out.
"Don't say that! Are you trying to scare me worse than I already am? You could be right! What if there are skeletons and dead bodies?" Yami gasped and clinged onto Kaiba's arm.
Kaiba did not know what to think of this. He rather liked the warm feeling of Yami next to him especially in this drafty house. His mind was swimming with emotions, mixed feelings, and indecision.
Yami on the other hand was feeling much better clinging to sturdy and fearless young man next to him. He blushed at the thought and hoped Kaiba did not see.
They reached the top of the stairs and found the door to the attic easy enough. Opening the door was another story though. When Kaiba tried to turn the knob it seemed to stick. Then when it finally did turn, the door would not budge. Kaiba grunted and put his whole body into the job of opening the door.
*WHOOSH* *BANG* *BOOM*
The door flew open as if a sudden release of pressure occurred. Kaiba went flying and smacked into Yami taking them both tumbling backwards on the floor.
"Ouch, Kaiba get your foot out of my face! You sure that was the smartest thing you could of done?" Yami asked laughing, for now the two boys were in a tangle of legs and arms.
"Probably not but at least the door is open now," Kaiba said also laughing.
Then out of nowhere, a sharp blast of freezing cold air entered the hallway. It swept around the two and settled there. They both shivered in cold and fright.
"Come on I guess we should go up now," Yami said warily, teeth chattering. Kaiba was staring into the dark stairway that led to the attic. "They're inviting us," Yami said in a creepy voice that made Kaiba shake even more. Yami stood up taking Kaiba's arm once again and they started up the long dark staircase.
