She wasn't sure if she should.
But how could she not. She didn't know if she even wanted too. But the
temptation was too great. How could she resist that perfect move. That
boy across the table was in for a real surprise.
"Knight to E5. Check and mate."
Her friends "oohed and awwed." The boy across the table was devastated. He sat open-mouthed as Michiro was congratulated by her friends.
"Knew you had it in you!" the brunette said to Michiko as they high- fived.
"He never saw it coming." the redhead next to the brunette stated.
"Let's go celebrate!" exclaimed the brunette.
"How about something to eat? That chess game was long." the boy across the table declared.
"Sure, Kohaku. Let's go to that park! You know, with all the food." Michiko announced.
"Well, I was gonna do my homework, but I guess I can come." the brunette, Chihiro said.
"I had a track meet, but it already started, thanks to you guys for taking so long." Sakura, the redhead, explained.
The group of four set off for a snack. They walked through the woods, well, former woods. During the summer, a developing contracter had bought the land, and cleared it, so he could build apartment houses. At the edge of the clearing, beyond two large oak trees, lay a faded, peeling, red tunnel Just as they entered the doorway of the old tunnel leading to the park, something really scary happened.
"Who turned off the lights? Kohaku?" someone yelled in the darkness.
"There wasn't ever a light switch, the sun was the only light you blockheads." Kohaku announced.
"Well then, what happened to the sun? I know there wasn't supposed to be an eclipse today or Mr Yamachi would have told us." A frightened voice came from where Chihiro was standing before the lights went off.
"Everybody, hold hands. We don't want to lose someone." Michiko, the ever calm decided.
There was a flurry of movement. Chihiro found a cool hand on her shoulder, and another clammy one on her other arm. She reached up and grabbed the hands. The hands jumped.
"Whoa guys, it's just Chihiro." she explained.
"Sorry, but I can't see a thing." a male contrite voice apologized.
"Yeah, me too." the calm sounding voice that had to be Michiko, said.
"Who's where, and who's holding whose hand?" Chihiro asked.
"Sakura is holding my left hand, and you're holding my hand Chihiro." Michiko stated
"And I'm holding your other hand, and someone else's." Kohaku explained.
"Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"Aren't you on the end?"
"Yes, I'm on Michiko's end."
"Well, then who is holding Kohaku's hand?
"I am." a timid voice came from everyone's right. "I am sorry to frighten you, but when you said for everybody to hold hands, I did too."
Chihiro's voice quivered as she asked, "And who exactly are you?"
"My name is............."
AN:-) Anyone have a suggestion for this person's name, background, gender even? Please tell me if you have any ideas. PLEASE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
