LAST TIME

"," Kuwabara asked, staring at the screen, "Have you made any enemies?"
"No one other than Mommy Dearest," you replied as Yusuke led you to the center of the room.
"Is there something there?" Kurama asked and took a look.
"What is it?" you asked.
" 'Even beyond the grave I strike fear into the innocent's hearts. You can not stop me and will not escape me. We shall talk again. And I will have you. I will have you, .'" Hiei read aloud.
You stopped moving, "It knows my name….he knows my name…"
"…" Yusuke said sadly.

THIS TIME

Horror 5: Ghost Can't Hurt You…Can They?

"If you want you can have one of us with you all day," Yusuke suggested.
"But what about Koenma? You guys'll have to work and I doubt I'd be any use coming along," you said.
"Are you kidding? Girl you kick ass!" Kuwabara said.
"And yet a ghost scared me," you said sadly.
"Hey, I'd be afraid if that guy was coming after me too," Yusuke tried to comfort you.
"Think about it, how many other things can scare you?" Hiei said, trying his hand at comfort.
"Well…other than Sankichi…I'd have to say spiders but even that is not a phobia…" you said.
"See?" Hiei told you.
"Yeah…ok so I'm not as big a pussy as I feel right now," you smiled faintly.
"Come on, lets go turn your cell on we'll come back later," Yusuke said.
"Nuh uh," you shook your head. "I'm not coming back here for a few days…maybe Sankichi is limited to my house. So if I disappear for a bit, he'll give up on me, right?" you sounded more like you were trying to convince yourself.
"I suppose," Yusuke replied.
"Grab your clothes and what you'll be taking and we'll go," Kurama said." But I think it best that you not be left alone, at least not here. We don't know if he can go to other people's houses yet so that much I'm sure of."

You nodded and picked up your clothes. You tossed it on your bed and grabbed a small suitcase from under your bed. The guys gave you suspicious looks and you shrugged it off. There was already some clothes packed into it. You tossed in some extra underwear, a brush, some socks, and a few shirts over the other various clothes items you had packed. You closed it up and tossed it to Kuwabara.

"Bring that downstairs for me, will ya?" you asked and turned around.
"Yeah," Kuwabara said and went downstairs.

Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke began to look around the room, Kurama at the computer screen, while you slipped your shirt off. You weren't about to be alone anywhere in the house with a guy like Sankichi waiting for you. And what's a little temporary nudity between friends? Hiei looked over Kurama's shoulder and watched what he was looking at. Yusuke noticed and turned to watch too. You had slipped the new shirt on and had your borrowed shorts off. You were pulling up your jeans when you heard Kuwabara shriek downstairs. The guys jumped and ran down the stairs. You closed your pants and ran for them too but Sankichi appeared at the head of the stairs, cutting off your escape.
He smiled that brilliant, white smile and walked slowly towards you. His mouth moved, as if he were talking, but no sound came out. You, having been with the guys in school, picked up on lip reading and now wished you didn't. Ignorance is bliss after all. Sankichi was saying 'You will be mine'. You realized how close he had gotten to you, within arms length, before you started to give ground and back up. Sankichi smiled again and kept towards you. You kept backing up, he kept moving forward. Your foot hit something and you were on your bead, legs dangling off the side, arms holding your upper body up off the bed. You so didn't want to be near a bed with Sankichi. You backed up, moving towards your window, with Sankichi still following. He put a blackened knee on your bed and climbed up above you. He crawled towards you, that freaking smile still on his face. Your back hit the wall and there was no where for you to go. With less than a foot of space between the wall and the bed, you couldn't run anywhere. Sankichi crawled over you, not touching, not yet, but just barely. His flaking hands stopped by your flank, pressed on the bed just centimeters from touching you. His grilled legs on either side of yours. He lowered his latently smoldering face over yours, as if to go for a kiss. You were scared, frightened. You couldn't move, and it wasn't the fear holding you in place, even though you really would have qualms about touching him. Didn't look like you could say the same for Sankichi. Through the cracks in his dead, burnt skin you could see glimpses of the fire they used to burn his ass. Like a wave of hell just underneath that barely-there layer. He kept his eyes, those yellow red eyes, trained on you the whole time. His lips were not even an inch away from yours and drawing closer when suddenly:

"!" Hiei had come back up the stairs since you did not go down to join them like you were going to.

Sankichi growled, and his lips moved in that dead silent murmur. Sankichi, whispering sweet nothings? Surely not. He said 'Next time you will be mine,' before he disappeared.

", are you alright? Did he touch you?" Hiei asked.

You shook your head, afraid to speak now. You took a deep, calming breath, and relaxed a bit. You looked on your bed, for black flakes or anything to show that Sankichi was there. Nothing. This puzzled you cause you could have sworn that you felt his weight, his presence on the bed. Hiei pulled you to your feet and you shook yourself, like a dog coming out from deep water.

"Let's get out of here," you said and ran downstairs to the others. Hiei looked around your room before he followed you.

D+O+N+'+T

Kuwabara was sitting on your couch, looking like he'd seen a ghost. You would have bet money that he did. Yusuke was beside him and Kurama was leaning against the wall.

"Are you alright? I heard Hiei yell your name," Kurama asked, turning to you.
"Shaken, but fine, thankfully. Let's get out of here. We can talk outside," you said, slipping on your shoes and walking out the door, twisting the lock so that the last person out only had to shut the door to lock it.

Kuwabara, with your suitcase, was the second one out, just as fast. Yusuke followed. Kurama and Hiei looked at each other and slid their shoes on before following you all, Hiei closing the door behind him. You and Kuwabara awaited them at the end of the street. Yusuke was walking a bit past the driveway. You yelled for them to hurry up. Kurama and Hiei caught up with Yusuke and then, as they walked, began to fill Hiei in on what Kuwabara said happened when he ran to get you.
You turned to Kuwabara.

"Damn, we were gone," you said, laughing a little.
"You ain't lying," he replied with a smile.
"So what happened to you back there?" you asked.
"I think it was that Sankichi guy," he said. "All black and cracked and evil looking."
"What?" you asked. "But he…how long did you see him?"
"Only for a second or two. He was saying something, but there wasn't any sound. Then he disappeared cause Yusuke showed up," he said.
"Distraction…" you said just above a whisper.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Kuwabara asked.
"He used you as a distraction to get me alone again," you said.
"Sounds plausible," Kurama said. The guys had caught up.
"But why didn't you come down with us? I was certain that you were coming, you were running for the stairs," Yusuke said.
"Yeah, I was. But just before I reached the steps, Sankichi showed up right in front of them. I couldn't make it," you said.
"What did he do?" Kurama asked.
"He just smiled and said I will be his and then backed me up on my bed. I swear he would have kissed me if Hiei didn't come up the stairs," you said and thought about it then jumped Hiei. "Thank you so freaking much!" you hugged him tightly.
"It's all right, don't mention it," he said.
"You know what he said?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yeah," you said letting go of Hiei, "I can read lips."
"Did he say anything else?" Kurama asked.
"After Hiei saved my ass, he said next time I will be his before he left." you said.
"What I wanna know is why he wants you alone. As far as I know there isn't anything we can really do to ghosts," Yusuke said.
"Oh gee, that's reeeaaal comforting," you said dryly. "I am the only chic in the group."
"Lets go get your cell phone turned on," Kurama said. "We're going to have to come back to the house and leave an answering message for your dad since you'll be staying with one of us for a while."
"Yeah," you nodded, not looking forward to stepping into the house so soon.

G+E+T+

At the phone activating location of your choice, you managed to get a good phone deal; pay as you go. Basically there was a set amount at how long the time was when you talked on the phone. It truly was a good deal, almost hard to believe since they claimed there were no hidden charges. You were still suspicious and questioned them.

"I know there are hidden charges. There are ALWAYS hidden charges. Always!" you said.
"Miss, there are no hidden charges, what you see is what you pay," the salesperson said.
"Fine play it like that," you said, "Then what all am I paying?"
"Activation and use," the salesperson said.
"Is that all really?" you asked, and the guy nodded. "You know I have the innate ability to tell when someone's lying?"
"Well, am I lying?" he asked.
You stared at him, "So you mean there really are no hidden charges for every time I text someone, no extra charge when I email someone, and no extra charge when I do long distance?"
The salesperson pleasant smile faltered and left his eyes, "there is a small extra fee when using long distance and text messaging."
"See, told ya I'm good. I won't be buying this contract, it's not very wholesome and truthful," you said and left with your entourage of guys followed.

"God," Yusuke said. "You sure know how to poke holes in all the contracts we were offered.
"I told my dad I'm going to get a good one, and I meant it. I don't wanna waste money on a phone I'll rarely use when I could put it to Anime and food," you smiled pleasantly.
The guys laughed, "Well we only have one more place to go to now," Kurama said.
"Yeah. Lets see how holy I can make their offers," you smirked.

In about twenty minutes, you all had reached the final phone company. You walked in and waited to be helped. Three minutes later a young woman came up to you. You looked at her name tag, it read 'Elsie'. the first thought that came to mind was 'cow…who'd want to be named after a cow?' but you politely kept that one to yourself. Contrary to the barnyard name, Elsie was taller than you, her mid shoulder length brunette hair was in a professional do. It was rolled into a bun, with some hair fanning upwards, he face was exposed except for a few curls that framed her face. She had one long curl bouncing down the left side of her face. Thin professional glasses framed beautiful hazel eyes highlighted with mascara. She had on a burgundy suit; skirt about mid thigh length, silky black undershirt covered by a burgundy suit jacket. She looked much like a lawyer's receptionist rather than a sales associate for cell phone contracts.

"Hello, welcome to SunCom. Interested in purchasing?" she asked.
"That's why I'm here," you said. "I want to get my cell activated as well."
"Doable," she said. "Follow me, please."

You and the guys followed her back to her desk, you took the seat right across from her, and Kuwabara sat down in one of the one's next to you before anyone else could. Yusuke growled lowly and moved to sit on the other side of you but Hiei was already there, smirking. Kurama just stood silently behind you, smiling because of the others. You laughed and turned to Elsie.

"Anything you want in particular?" she asked.
"Give me your best offer," you said, ready and willing to poke it full of holes.
"Free nights and weekends, set rates on long distance, unlimited minutes, set charges, no magically fluctuating prices, discounted activation with the purchase," she said professionally.
"Not bad, now lets see," you smiled, "discounted activation with the purchase of what?"
"The plan," she smiled back.
"Are the rates the same on long distance no matter how long the distance is?"
"The same no matter how long it is and how long you talk."
"Nice, and if I'm talking during the night of a weekend and the conversation crossed over into day, does the charge start when the day starts or does it count the whole convo?"
"Very good question," Elsie beamed at you, "If the conversation started at night and carried over into day, the whole talk would be free since it was begun at night. But if you hang up and call someone during the day, after that long night conversation, then the regular day charges apply."
"And what of text messaging and emailing?" you asked.
"Set rate for all messages," she said.
"No matter how long?" you asked.
"No matter how long," she nodded.
"What's the set charge?"
"Five cents a message," she replied.
"Okay," you nodded. "And the day time rates?"
"Fifteen cents a minute for the first ten minutes. After that its all nine cents for every minute," she said.
"I can do with that. And the hidden charges?"
"None, what I told you is what you get," Elsie said confidently.
"Alright, I believe you. How much is activation?"
"Without the purchase of a contract, its ten dollars, but if you buy this contract with the activation it is brought down to seven."
"Very, very good. I'll take it. Activation and the contract," you said.
"Oh my gawd," Kuwabara said, "She couldn't poke holes in this one!"
"It's a miracle!" Yusuke said clapping.
Elsie laughed, "A professional hole puncher, eh?" she asked.
"Yeah, we've been to every phone company here. I messed all their contracts to hell," you laughed.
"I knew I'd have some fun here with you," she smiled, "I could tell that you loved to fuck with peoples work."
"Who me?" you smiled innocently. "Occupational hazard I guess."
"Something bad?" she asked while working you into the computer.
"Naw, nothing too extreme. I just abandoned is all and I need to keep contact with my dad," you told her.
"Abandoned by your family? How can that not be bad?" she asked, still typing away fastly.
"Can't say I was too close to them," you said and ended it there.
"Alright. You're in the computer. Your phone will be on in half an hour and the plan starts with it," Elsie said.
"Great," you stood and shook her hand.
"Thank you for turning to SunCom. We hope that you will enjoy our services," she said.
"So do I," you said and left.

T+O+U+C+H+E+D+

You all headed back towards your neighborhood. You slowed down the pace a bit.

"I can't believe you couldn't poke holes in that one," Yusuke said.
"Yeah. But I think she bent the rules to accommodate me," you said.
"Yeah, I think normally they charge for late night use that carries over into day," Kurama said.
", when I get my phone, will you come with me so I don't get screwed over?" Kuwabara asked.
"Sure," you laughed.

You were walking down the street towards your house when the feeling of dread welled up inside. You really didn't want to go back into the house so soon. Especially if Sankichi was so determined to have you. You'd have much rather waited outside with the guys, but you had to leave a message for your dad telling him of the cell number. You sighed and looked at the house. You were already in front of it. You reached into your pocket and pulled out your keys. You unlocked the door and let Yusuke go in first, then you, then the others trailed by Hiei. Nothing was wrong, no one was in the living room. However your answering machine light was blinking. You went over to push it and a creepy whisper, sounding eerily like the chimera guy from Full Metal Alchemist, yet more robotic was heard.

T+E+R+R+O+R+A+W+A+I+T+S+Y+O+U

Read and Review! Oh, and everyone, you know what I'm talking about when I say the chimera guy from Full Metal Alchemist, right?
