"Get ready for tomorrow girls. We'll be partying late night with the Sohma's."

Chapter 8 – Haunted Mansion

"Well, Shigure-san," Tohru mimicked, "How has it been?" The brown haired teen adjusted her bow in position again and looked around for a target, "Hmm?" She locked on at Shigure.

"Well," he smiled weakly, "Everything's been well, except for the fact that we haven't had a good meal in a while." He chuckled lightly, still shaking a little at the arrow pointed at him.

She shut one eye and stretched the arrow, preparing to shoot, "Well, that brief answer should be enough for me to know that you're doing fine." She let go the string, letting it fly straight to its next target. Shigure quickly ducked as it barely passed his head.

"Now, now. No need for violence, Tohru-ku-"

Another arrow.

Her eyes narrowed dangerously, brown eyes with blazing fire, burning with anger. "Shigure-san." She mocked, her eyes still filled with anger, "Have you been listening intently to what I have said?"

The author scratched his head, "Um, yeah?"

"Then if you have, do you mind repeating what you have said before?" she said smoothly, anger disappearing, but was replaced by another feeling…hate.

"Err, no thank you. I'd rather not repeat myself to get you angry," He smiled innocently, not noticing a dangerously dark aura forming around the teenager in front of him.

A dark smile formed her lips, "What did you say?"

"I'd rather not repeat myself to get you angry. Therefore, I wouldn't like to repeat myself."

She growled and put out her bow again, the arrow facing him, "YOU'RE SUCH A STUBBORN ASS MAN!"

Shigure let out a high pitched scream, "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Haru…Kiara

Haru, with his hands stuffed in his pockets coolly with a bored expression, looked up, "What that sensei?" he questioned himself. He ignored the feeling of a fierce aura he was approaching and continued to walk. 'Whatever Tohru did, must've scared him dead.'

His eyes sharpened and jumped back, just avoiding an attack. The figure stood from its spot and looked at Haru. "Look who's here, cutie," Kiara spoke.

"'sup?" he greeted.

"Going well for me. How 'bout you?" She took of her cloak that she was once covered by. Haru examined her. She wore a completely different outfit as before. "Still revealing, eh?" he inquired.

"I would rather like not that much attention, thank you very much," she replied, adjusting her glove with her other hand. What she was wearing was a short and tight black shirt with white outlines; 'Come near and die' was implanted in blood red colors in the middle. She wore a darker shade of purple cargo pants that was almost filled with pockets around.

A/N: Some reviewers say they dislike what they are wearing. Later on the chapters, I will change their way of clothing and make them wear less revealing. I was just trying them to get a bad girl style, not slutty.

"Well, then. What's a pretty girl like you doing here in the dark?"

Kiara smirked, "I'm glad you asked." With a blink of an eye, she appeared behind Haru and grabbed his arm and threw him to the wall. "Does that answer your question?"

Wiping the blood from the side of his mouth, he stood. "Come on. I don't fight girls."

She stood on her place, "Well, I guess you have to." She charged forward with a punch. He blocked it with his hand in his palm. "I guess your right. But I think the best strategy for me is to be in defense until your worn out."

Kiara flipped backwards and pushed off the ground with both hands and landed softly; keeping a distance away from him. She went to a fighting stance, small knives between her fingers. "Suit yourself."

Yuki…Rin

Yuki followed the figure enter a room in the opposite side. 'This is getting weird.' He thought silently, entering the room while scouting around. 'This room is pretty old. Then again, so is this house.' His eyes harden. "Come out, now." He turned back behind him and came face to face with a figure wearing a long cloak, covering its features completely. To make it worse, it was very dark.

He/she slammed the door shut with its foot. 'Still sharp after the years passed.' Rin thought. "Impressive," she spoke. Her voice changed to a more mature voice and softer, disguising her voice.

"Who are you?"

"That is not important to you." She replied. 'Well, yeah it is but who cares.'

"Hey…weren't you the one with Honda-san just now?" he recalled. "What's your connection with her?"

"I'd ask you the same question first."

"I'm her…uh, her…" Yuki stammered, looking down at the ground. 'What am I to her? I mean, we're comfortable when we're very close together…and it happened quite a lot of times now. So…' Rin watched as he battled with his thoughts.

"Her…?" she smirked. Ooh, how she loved to mess with people's mind with others. Hey, it's just her nature. "Boyfriend?" she suggested. "Or maybe even more?"

Yuki's face turned red scarlet, "A friend, I'd like to say, nothing more."

'Yeah, yeah. For now.' A sly smile tugged Rin's lips. "I'd like to believe you, but I'm more interested in romance between a couple of people."

"What's your connection with her?" he repeated, slowly losing his patience with the mysterious person in front of him.

'Ooh, looks like he's getting mad,' her thoughts played. "Mine? Well, I'm just an alliance." Within moments passed, she raised her leg and kicked him at the side of his head, but he blocked with a hand. She twisted around to use her other leg to kick him, he just ducked around, letting his grip on her release.

"Looks like I've gave you an invitation. Care to join?"

Yuki dusted himself in the arm, "If you'd like, yes."

He went to his left side, avoiding the punch, but he didn't notice she'd gone below and used her leg to swipe him. "Looks like you aren't to careful." She said.

"Apparently so."

He blocked with both his arms in front of him as she delivered a painful kick. She flipped forward, grabbed his arm and was about to throw him off, but he disappeared and appeared behind her, holding her arm. Seeing this chance, she did a back flip; during the process, she let go of his hold, smashing him to the wall. "So, Sohma. How do you feel about our little Tohru? If you want her, then you have to be at least stronger than us.'

"That..." he stood up, "is none…of …your business!" he swiped his arm in front of him, eyes flashed in anger.

'Wow. Never seen him this angry.' Rin mused. 'Guess this will be interesting after all.' She spoke, "Oh? I know you wouldn't like her to see you like this, now would we? I'd say you'd better collect yourself if you want her."

"I said…it's none of your business." He growled, scowling in pure hatred and anger at her.

"Oh," she teased, "Isn't little Yuki getting mad over a girl?"

She suddenly found herself pinned to the wall by her cloak. She blinked then smirked. 'Oh, so little Yuki found some little knives and used it. Good thing he won't hurt a girl.'

In front of her, with a fair distance, was a now calm but scowling Yuki. "I'd suggest you keep your mouth shut up about this incident." He spoke in a voice that surprised Rin.

She tugged herself out of the mess and adjusted her cloak. "I'd rather do." he glared. "But since you answered aggressively, proving you little crush, I'll keep it a secret."

He turned to leave, "If you'd mind, I think our discussion is over."

Rin laughed, "I very well think so." She said. She leaned against the wall as he slammed the door shut. "I think my part for this is over." She said to herself. 'Now to get to…Kisa. Another of scaring them won't do any harm.'

Kisa…..Sohma Family

Ayame fanned Momiji and Kagura with both his hands. "Wake up!" he said. Momiji recovered and sat up, looking innocently at both his sides. "Eh? Where's Yuki, Shigure-nii and Haru?" he asked.

"They went to check things up." The family doctor answered, who was currently lighting a cigarette.

Kagura was the last to recover. She groggily woke up with a headache. "Ah. What the-?" When she saw a close up of Ayame's face, she shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT AN UGLY FACE!"

"I BEG TO DIFFER!"

"Eh?" it all dawned to her, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!"

Ayame just chuckled and waved it off, "Mistakes are mistakes. No need to worry."

From afar, Kisa watched them and giggled. But when Kagura screamed again when she woke up, she slipped from her hiding spot and dangled down. 'Good thing they weren't paying attention here.' The tiger thought as she hoisted herself up again. 'Now. What do I do to entertain them?' she wondered. 'If ane-san was here, she'd probably have an idea.'

"Pst. Kisa," whispered a voice next to her. Kisa felt herself shiver and her face darkened. She opened her mouth to scream, but was brutally held back. She came face to face with none other than, "Rin-san?" she whispered.

Rin winked, "Yup. Done my job. Just call me Rii-chan." She nodded with a smile. "So, Kisa. Got any ideas?" Kisa shook her head. "Hmm…let's see. Oh! Here's one!" she whispered something to Kisa's ears. Tigers' ears perked up as she listened.

"Hmm. Wonder what's taking them so long?" Kagura asked worriedly, looking in the direction of where Kyo had gone previously.

A/N: Whoops. I forgot about Kyo. Well, I'll have to work it out. Keep on reading!

A figure from the dark approached them and revealed themselves. Momiji and Kagura were busy talking, sitting in the floor, while Ayame was talking to a bored Hatori; so they haven't noticed yet.

A cold hand was placed on Kagura's shoulder. Her face immediately darkened in horror, she slowly turned up to look at whoever it is. She looked up to see a woman in a white wedding gown with a veil. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"UUUUUWWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Momiji screamed along.

"Why on earth are you screaming along with her, Momiji?" Hatori asked, obviously irritated.

"L-l-look over t-there!" he stammered. The two followed to where his finger was pointing to. A woman in a veil, wearing a wedding dress was laying her hand on a now dazed off Kagura.

'Damn. Forgot how Kagura screamed,' Rin thought. She checked beside her and sweatdropped. Kisa's tigers' ears were down and anime swirly eyes and was swaying back and forth.

Before Hatori could reach Kagura, Ayame passed him and immediately went to the ghost and examined her. "Oh my!" Ayame said, "What a dreadfully clothing! Whoever designed this must've been blind!" He lift her clothing so he could feel it, "And the material!"

A vein throbbed Rin's head. "That little-"

As soon as Ayame lifted up the veil, the clothing fell to the ground, nothing but empty air. Ayame stood still with his hands in a position in front of him, dotted eyed. It was his turn to fall back and faint.

"Idiot," Hatori mumbled.

"Why am I stuck with creeps?" Hiro mumbled, close to the exit.

"You're turn, Kisa." Rin said quietly. Kisa jumped down, wearing a full white dress. She made it ghost like and quickly passed through them. Kagura blinked and watched Kisa, as did Hatori.

'I-I must be brave!' Kagura thought. 'Kyo-kun said I should!' With enough courage, she stood up and followed the lurking ghost. The lurking ghost went to a dark hallway and stopped about 5 meters away from her. Kagura approached her slowly, thinking, 'There are no such things as ghost. There are no such things as ghost.'

Kagura swallowed and reached for her shoulder. 'I hope I won't regret this.'

Kisa felt that Kagura was trying to reveal herself. Thinking of a quick plan, she slowly turned around, a dark smirk forming her delicate lips. "Hello, Kagura-nee," Her face was dark with an unfriendly smile that looks could kill.

"K-k-Kisa?"

"Hai?" She tilted her head to the side, the same expression not leaving her face.

"A-a-are you s-still alive?"

Kisa's smirk was replaced by another dark smile. She turned around and run straight to the end of the hallway. "W-wait!" She jogged up to her normal speed. Kisa made a turn to, Kagura followed. When she followed the turn, no one was there. "Ki-Kisa? How'd she disappear?" She gulped. "Or is she really dead?"

Kisa, quickly jumping up to the ceiling and sitting on a wood board at the top, watched. "Ky-Kyo-kun? A-are you there?" Kagura asked, as soon as she heard a creak and footstep.

Kisa tensed, 'Wait. If Rii-chan is with Ayame-nii, who's there?'

"Who's there?" She spun around to run, but was stopped when she felt arms wrapped around her waist. She was about to scream but when the person spun her around, she gaped. "Kyo-kun?" He smiled as she relaxed and rested against him.

Kisa smiled sadly at the couple, 'If Hiro was like that. That jerk. He deserves no one after…' She glared at no one but returned back to Rin.

When Kisa arrived back, she crashed down anime style. "Eh?" In front of her, Hatori was tied to a wooden wall while Momiji was running around while a ghost was chasing him. And Hiro? He was also tied with a cloth around his mouth in a chair and was getting wet each second by Rin, who has laughing.

"Rii-chan?"

Hiro looked at her, blushing a bit of what she was wearing. Hatori just stared blankly. Momiji managed to trick the 'ghost' by letting it crash into a wall. "Eh?"

"You're back, Kisa." Rin said. "How'd it go?"

She blushed, "A little more than expected, I guess."

"Kisa." Hiro spoke. Kisa immediately shot him dagger looks, he winced, "Look."

"There is nothing to discuss," she said icily, "especially with you. Come on, ane-san." They headed to the direction where Kiara was fighting.

Kiara…Haru

"Arg." Haru muttered, after receiving two straight kicks unexpectedly in the stomach. "You are one tough chick." He said softly, "You know that?"

"I get that a lot." She replied, panting heavily. It took all her energy to attack him non stop, yet his still completely okay. 'This is harder than I thought.'

He noticed that she was getting tired each time she attacked now. 'I guess my strategy was right. But…dang, her attacks are painful. Guess she'll be giving up soon.'

Kiara was about to go again, but she fell to the floor when she twisted her ankle. "Ouch." She was sitting there, her ankle twisted with a hand on it. 'Great, how'll I fight now?'

"Are you alright?" Haru bent down and examined her sprained ankle. She blushed as she felt his skin contact with hers. But this was not a good sight…well, at least to what Kisa and Rin saw. Haru sweatdropped as he felt two strong aura's behind him. Kisa was there…but who was the other person?

"What're you doing to her?" Rin commanded, not happy at all. She hadn't forgotten him.

"Are you…hurting her?" Kisa asked.

'Sorry, Haru.' Kisa thought. She tried to stand up, but miserably fell, Haru caught her.

That send chills down their spines, "THAT'S IT! I THOUGHT GUYS NEVER HURT GIRLS! OBIVIOUSLY YOU'RE MUCH DIFFERENT!"

Poor Haru…Girls can get mad as well…and it isn't very pleasant.

After

After the misunderstandings when Kiara explained, they quickly made a quick escape to the second floor. "Why didn't you tell us before we nearly killed him?" Rin growled.

"You weren't paying attention." Kiara fired back.

"At least signal something." Rin mumbled.

"Whatever."

They reached where Tohru was, except they were traveling in the dark, careful not to be seen. Kiara managed to look at what they did and sweatdropped. "How long are you going to leave them like that?"

"For a while." Rin replied.

Kiara thought for a while and realized something was wrong and frowned, "Hey, girls. If Ayame, Hatori, Hiro and Momiji are there, we left Haru back and Shigure is with Tohru…where's Yuki?"

That stopped them in their tracks. Where was Yuki?

"Rin. Where'd he go?"

"He just left out the door….we were talking about Tohru and…"

They looked at each other and quickly went to Tohru's room, they slammed the door to the wall as they entered and their mouths dropped down to the floor, shocked and surprised.

Yuki was there…with Tohru…with a tied-to-a-chair Shigure…Yuki VERY close to Tohru…Tohru closing near Yuki….pinned to the wall. Do I need to explain?

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH HER?"

TBC

Steamy romance in the next chappy between Tohru and Yuki, OcxHaruxRin, KyoxKagura. Next chappy is showing where they finally show romance between each other…except the fact that Tohru made a 'game' with the Sohma's! REVIEW!
