"Halloween?" Professor Binns droaned in his dry, whispery voice. "What nonsense is that?"
Kagura shifted patiently in front of him. "That's when boys and girls dress up in costumes - then they either go Trick-or-Treating or to costume parties."
"What?" Professor Binns repeated. He put his hand into his head and made a rubbing motion. Several of the children in the classroom started to giggle nervously. Having a ghost for a teacher was interresting, even if the subject - History of Magic - was rather boring.
Kagura frowned slightly and rubbed her orange jumpsuit with the palm of her hand. Dressed as a neko-girl, true to her word, she had decided to attend all of her classes in costume. Unfortuently, Professor Binns was stuck on the impression that she was a foreign exchange student.
A sharp whistle behind her distracted her from her explanation. "Who whistled?" she demanded, taking note of the gathered people. Since it was double History with Hufflepuff, Kyou wasn't present - and if it wasn't Kyou that whistled, there was going to be hell to pay!
Akito tilted his head towards her. "I didn't hear any whistling; however, does anyone else have a constant ringing in their ears?"
Kagura stared at him blankly. "No, Akito-sama," she finally responded.
"I heard tweeting!" Momiji gushed brightly.
"It's a ringing. Say you hear it!" Akito snapped, concerned that he might be loosing his grip on sanity.
"Kagura, why don't you just sit down?" Yuki sugested.
"Don't bypass me, rat," Akito warned.
Tohru got a slightly stressed look while Yuki paled visibly. "Now, there's no need for any trouble. I'm sure that there's ringing somewhere. Kagura, why don't you just take your seat and -"
"Typical goody-goody," Hiro said in a dry voice. "Always trying to take control of everything while at the same time attempting to look like your just helpless and innocent. The only reason I can bear to stand you is because of Kisa..." His voice trailed off. "Speaking of Kisa..."
"Yes, speaking of Kisa," Akito picked up. "Do any of you know if she's screwing around with that Potter boy? Without permission...?"
"I think Kisa and Potter are sweet together," Tohru piped up. "I mean... she usually doesn't have any friends and all -"
"Don't make me laugh!" Akito snapped. "She can only have friends if I say so!"
"Don't be stupid!" Hiro said at the same time. "She doens't need lame friends like that!"
Kagura frowned and looked around the room, toning out the conversation about Kisa. Professor Binns had started teaching again, paying no attention to the commotion rampaging through his classroom. Momiji was singing his favorite song to himself in the corner. And there was no sign of Hana or Rin. "Pro. Binns!" she called out, catching the Professor's attention.
"Yes, and you are?" he questioned.
"Kagura Souma, may I be excused from class?"
"By all means... I don't believe you are part of my class... I've never seen you before. Please, be on your way."
Kagura shrugged. "See you later!" she called to the classroom and then vanished into the hallway.
************************************************************************
Kyou's red eyes started to close. It was getting to be rather boring in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Not surprising considering the past record. The only people who seemed to be paying the remotest bit of attention were Uotani and strangely enough, Shigure.
"KYOUUUUUU!" he heard a voice call out distantly. He started abruptly, recognizing Kagura's voice. He turned his head slowly, fearing for the worst. Prancing towards him, down the stairs to the classroom, was the last person that he wanted to see - Kagura.
She was dressed in a skin tight orange jumpsuit with a fuzzy cat tail and a pair of cat ears perched on top of her head. She had a happy expression on her face; however, he knew how quickly it could change.
"I haven't seen you in a while!" she sang out. She extended both arms towards him, trying for a welcoming hug.
"Stay back!" Kyou snapped, picking up a chair and putting it between them. "I got a chiropracter who says my back can't take any more abuse -"
"YOU HATE ME! I'LL MAKE YOU LOVE ME!" she screamed.
"We've visited this subject before!" Kyou shouted, leaping away from her. Professor Weiss started towards the couple, meaning to sort things out. "I ain't taking any chances!" Kyou shouted. He manuvered between the teacher and Kagura. Then, when she leapt towards him, the neko jumped out the window.
For a couple moments, he was freefalling, then he landed roughly in the lawn and sprinted towards the Whomping Willow tree.
"KYOU! Wait for MEEEEEEEEEE!" Kagura bellowed and chased after him.
He hit the tree and climbed high into the branches. Kagura approached and nearly got squashed by a branch. The closer she tried to get, the more the willow tree fought. Finally she stopped and started prowling around it's circumfrince. "YOU CAN'T HIDE THERE FOREVER!" she screamed her warning.
Kyou didn't respond. He was glad now that he had founght the tree until dominence had been decided.

"There's a student in the Whomping Willow tree," McGonagall informed Snape.
"And?" Snape inquired lightly. Both of them were in the teacher lounge with the door locked tightly.
"Just seeing if you really cared at this point," the Transfiguration teacher explained.
"It's a Souma, isn't it?" Snape asked.
"Yes..."
"Do we really have to go and stop it?" he asked.
"It? Yes, I'm afraid so," McGonagall said wearily.
Snape hissed and stepped into the hallway with McGonagall on his heels. "This job is going to be the death of me -"
No sooner had the words left his mouth when Hana rounded the corner and started walking towards him. Her face was painted a translucent white, his black eyes glittering. Her ebony hair casquaded down her back freely and mingled with the pure darkness of her cloak. She reached one pale hand towards Snape, "Excuse me, Professor Snape, but your electric signals seem erotic -"
Snape didn't stay and listen to her. He turned and headed towards the Whomping Willow muttering, "One thing at a time."
Hana hovered in the hallway for a second and then returned to the girls bathroom. "Kisa, we're having some difficulty brewing the counter spell," she announced.
"Speak for yourself," Rin answered, coming through the doorway. "I don't think we'll need to. The spell should have worn off if not activated in twenty-four hours. Time is up, so we're safe."
"Kinda," Hana agreed. "However, Professor Twelawny has requested a Halloween Dance this year... we're going to need dates by the end of the evening... any ideas?"
"What about costumes?" Rin asked.
"What if we die?" Kisa asked softly. "Do we still have to go to the dance?"
"Don't be ridiculous!" Rin exclaimed. "Don't even think about dying."
"Whoever you go with, make sure it's not Tom Mort... his electric signals are evil," Hana said spookily.
"Isn't he that jerk who was picking on Kisa earlier this year?" Rin asked. (Voldermort, in case you forgot.)
"Yes, he is," Hana said. Kisa just nodded.

Hatori sat indescively at his desk. Sitting across from him was Kana. And she wasn't talking or looking at him since he had told her off at the cow incident. It was tearing him up.
"Kana?" he whispered softly, catching her attention.
She turned her head the other way and he sighed heavily. On a piece of paper, he scrawled a quick note. "Please go to the Halloween Dance with me. I need to tell you something...."
He passed it over to her, and hoped for the best.

"Be a man!" Ritsu repeated for the millionth time. "I can do it!" He stepped into the hallway and ran right into Hermione. POOF! A cloud of colored smoke blasted into the air.
Ritsu freaked and made for the window. Hermione countered his movements with a spell. "What happened?" she asked, picking up the paralized monkey. When she didn't get a response, she cast a transfiguartion spell... one that reverted the monkey back to his orginal form.... a nineteen year old man....
