Hey there people ! Before I say anything else, I'd like to thank you all for the overwhelming response I got for this fic. I haven't answered all of you and I'm sorry for that, but I will. I even got death threats ! I never thought that it'd be liked this much, which makes me feel really bad for not posting anything sooner.
I sent it to my editor a week and a half ago, but I didn't any news from her, so I decided to send it anyway.
Some of you asked about the box and if Usa and Mamoru knew each other's identities. The answer is no. But that will all be explained later. The box thing too.
Also, I'm well aware that this rather short, but (please don't be mad), I'm so much into Rurouni Kenshin right now, that I'm having trouble with this. But not to worry, I decided to write at least 5 minutes a day. That should do it ! Right ? RIGHT ?
Enough of my ramblings, that isn't what you came here for. So, here it is ! The third chapter of A Night in a Haunted House. Enjoy ! Please ? ;o)
"Damn it! " He cursed to himself. Then, louder, he said, " Usagi, can you hear me? " Silence. "Usagi, answer me! Please! " More silence.
Saying something that I shouldn't say in this fic, he tried again, with all his might (and Tuxedo Kamen's), to open the door. This time, he succeded. But that, too, was in vain.
Behind the door stood a brick wall.
Mamoru turned around as fast as he could when he heard footsteps. What was it now?
"Young man, would tell me WHY you destroyed my door? " an old man wearing a fishing hat asked, while walking into the room by another door at the opposite side of where Mamoru was.
Mamoru was so surprised that no sound came out of his mouth when he tried to speak. So there really were people living in this house! (AN: how dense can he get!) Regaining his composure, Mamoru said:
"As soon as you tell me WHY there is suddenly a brick wall behind that door! My friend is stuck on the other side and I have to get to her. "
"What brick wall? " the old man asked innocently.
"The wall that is just there, in the doorway, of course! " Mamoru answered grimly, tired of all this non-sense.
"I'm sorry young man, but I don't see any brick wall."
Mamoru looked at the doorway to see if he had been dreaming. Nope. The wall was still there.
The old man put a hand on Mamoru's shoulder.
"Why don't you sit down, son? "
So now, there he was, sitting on the floor in the fake snow, with his head burried in his hands, trying to understand what was happening, and failing miserably.
"You know, young man, drugs aren't good for you..."
Mamoru, insulted, glared up at the man who was standing over him and said:
"I don't take drugs, and I don't know what you're trying to do here, but there is a brick wall that prevents me from getting to the girl I lo... the girl that was with me, " he finished rapidly. He was just so confused that he couldn't control what he said anymore.
He just HAD to get out of that house before he said that in Usagi's face. If he were to ever see her again.
"Oh, so young man, you're in love with that girl! "
Mamoru glared at him again, but remained silent. What could he say anyway?
"Well, we better find her then, ne? " And with that, the old man went through the door. The wall had disapeared!
After a moment of staring, extremely confused, Mamoru got up and followed behind. On the other side, the old man was waiting for him, smiling.
Just as Mamoru was about to go through the door, the brick wall reappeared, and he bumped right into it.
"Damn it! "
Meanwhile, Usagi, once again, was panicking. Sure, she was Sailor Moon, but what could she do against ghosts? And paranormal occurrences scared her so much.
"Mamoru-san, are you there? " she asked, shaking. She'd never missed anyone as much as she missed him at the moment.
"Who are you? " a female voice asked.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! " was Usagi's answer.
She turned around quickly, resisting the urge to just henshin right then and there, and saw an old woman in an old pink night gown and a pink robe.
"Who are you? " Usagi asked too.
"Why, I live here, young lady! " the old lady said cheerfully, with a big smile, "But, what are you doing in my house? "
"I... well, my friends said that I could have a month of free ice-cream at the arcade if I slept here with Mamoru-san on Christmas Eve. "
"Oh, the gorgeous young man that was here just a minute ago? My goodness, I thought he was a ghost! " the old lady said a hand on her chest and sighed in relief. Then, she added in a way that frightened poor Usagi, "There are GHOSTS in this house, you know! "
Usagi backed up a little. She wasn't so sure if this was a nice old lady anymore. Tears came to her eyes, but she held them back as best as she could.
'Daijobu, Usagi. Just calm down and everything will be fine, ' she told herself. Just when she had regained control of her shaking body, the door that held her prisoner opened again and her heart skipped a beat.
An old man came in and went where the old lady was standing, ignoring Usagi.
"Dear, what did I say about the hat inside the house? " asked the old lady in an exasperated tone, but with a small smile.
"Why, you told me not to wear it, love, " the man answered teasingly.
Usagi stared in horror when he removed it, then fainted. There was a hole in his head, and she could see right through it!
"Of course it might be a good idea to keep it on when we have company, it's not the first time someone faints like that..."
That's it ! Short isn't it ? *sigh* Oh well, tell me what you think !
Ja ne !
