Me: YAY! I LIKE TACOS!
Ariel: Nikki, your little white-coated big-needled friends are here again...
Psychiatric Ward Guys: (haul Ariel off screaming, again, to a mental ward)
Me: o.0 Why does she try when it backfires on her? I don't own anything...
Narrator: (in this creepy voice that you hear on those ghost hunting shows) On the Second Floor (Nikki):...
Nikki was silently whistling to herself, trying to keep the scared feeling away.
"Okay," she says in a soft voice/whisper, narrating to the camera, "I have just gone up this really creepy flight of stairs that was really dusty and now I'm on the second floor landing, trying to decide which of these doors down this long hallway to explore first. To the left or to the right? (If you've ever played Luigi's Mansion...it's the mansion in the video game, except more lifelike and creepier, and if you've ever seen Haunted Mansion..it's like that mansion...but I prefer the Luigi's mansion one.)" she flips a coin, "Right it is." Nikki walks up to a door and opens it up.
"Okay, I'm in what looks like the master bed room and.." she gets a glimpse of the graveyard outside the window, "Oh my god...these people fucked eachother with a nice view of a graveyard...that's just not right. Okay, anyways, there's the bed and the vanity and the fireplace and...ooh, there's a picture." Nikki zooms in on the picture with her camera and...(Me: MWAHAHAHA! I am so evil.)
Narrator: (same voice) In the East Wing (Battousai and Kaoru)
"Hey Battousai."
"What Kaoru?"
"I'm kinda scared." Battousai wraps a comforting arm around Kaoru and listens as she lets out a sigh of relief.
"Don't be, ghosts aren't real." 'I think' he mentally adds to himself.
"Yeah right...need I bring up Nikki and Spatial?"
"Okay, so they are real. But they can't hurt you. I won't let them."
"What about Enishi's goons? Though I know I can kick their ass anyway. Like, what if all of them came at us at once?"
"Tch. I'll kick their asses." he kisses her on the top of her head, "No one touches my girl. (Me: (covering reader's mouths to prevent any outbursts/hands pillows to the ones who wanna scream) Awwww! I...I think I'm gonna cry! (grabs tissue box and passes around to the readers))"
"Hey Batts?"
"Hm?"
"Why'd you kiss the top of my head."
"Just because."
"Oh, okay. Hey Batts?"
"Hm?" he looks down at her. (Me: Little intermission...(walks around with a box full of pillows with a pic of a chibi Rurouni Kenshin gang on them and hands them to the readers) for the screams which I know will come up. Blame Jou-chan...she wanted this...actually, she wanted a whole night (hint, hint) but that is NOT gonna happen anytime soon. . But a date, I could do without worry. But does making out in the dark then rushing to the aid of a friend count, I wonder? Hmmmm.)
"Perfect." she says. He gets a little bit of Kenshin's 'Oro' look before she brings his head down to hers (me: shit! Here I go! . Ariel: STOP STALLING! Me: FINE! But I'd love to see you do it!)and presses their lips together. Battousai just stands there surprised for a bit before she breaks it off.
"What was that for!"
"Just because." she flashes him a cute smile. Kaoru turns around to walk away but Battousai grabs her arm and spins her around toward him. Before she knew it, he had her in another liplock. (Me: . ) Kaoru inwardly smirks, ready to play his game...and I mean, who wouldn't? She quickly melts into the kiss and presses her body close to his. Battousai smiles and gently bites at her lower lip asking for entrance, and Kaoru agrees. He slips his tongue in between her parted lips and begins exploring her sweet caverns. They parted only when they ran out of air and Battousai presses his forehead against Kaoru's.
"Looks like I won again Kamiya." he whispers hotly.
"I guess so." They lean in for another kiss just before a shriek pierces through the air. Their heads snap around, looking for the source.
"Oh god! Batts! That was Nikki! We gotta go! Come on!" Kaoru grabs his arm and yanks him toward the direction of the second floor. When they reached they entranceway, they collided, and fell, with Spatial, Jason, and Auriela, who had apparently heard the scream as well.
"Where is she!" Kenshin yells, just coming into the room.
"On the second floor!" Auriela yells in a 'duh' tone. They all run up there and to the master bedroom. Battousai tries to open the door but fails.
"The door's locked!" he yells.
"So open it!" Jason yells back at him.
"I can't!"
"No one has a key Jase!" Auriela yells over their yelling.
"So then open the door!" Auriela grabs Jason by the collar.
"YOU CAN'T UNLOCK A DOOR WITHOUT A KEY!" she yells, shaking him. Those three get into a big argument.
"DOGS HAVE CLEANER TONGUES THAN PEOPLE!" Spatial yells. (Me: I googled that!)
o.0 (Everyone)
"Well it got you to stop fighting."
"Shh, wait you guys..." everyone falls silent as Kaoru rests a hand on her chest, "Oh my god...the screams stopped."
"That's it." Jason takes out a gun and shoots the lock off. He kicks the door open and everyone tramples over him to get inside the room. (Me: -.- Poor Jason. Jason: Don't I know it. Us: (siiiiiiiiigh)) Everyone draws their weapons, ready to kill. Nikki looks up at them (because she passed out and then woke up) from her position on the floor.
"Was it something I said?" she asks.
"Wha-? WHERE'S THE GOON!" Spatial yells.
"Uhhh, nowhere." Nikki points to the picture above the fireplace, "That picture just creeped me out because of all the blood on it...that's all. I mean look at it! You can't even see the picture."
"Uhhh, Nikki, yes we can."
"No you can't."
"Nikki-dono I think we would know what we see, that we would."
"Yeah." Kaoru agrees with Kenshin. She takes out a flashlight and shines it on the picture. Spatial gets one look at it and passes out.
"See? Blood stained!"
"Nikki! There is no blood! All it is is a picture of you and Kenshin dressed in Meiji-era clothes hugging eachother and looking at eachother with absolute adoration and-OH MY GOD! THAT IS SO FUCKED UP!" Kaoru grabs Battousai's arm to keep from falling down in shock. Spatial stands up and helps Nikki up as well.
"Hey! Look you guys!" she points at the girl in the picture, "It's that one Isabella girl!"
"Guys! I just don't get it! All I see is blood. That's all there is on there! This is so not funny." tears were evident in Nikki's voice now. She wanted them to believe her so badly, but they wouldn't.
'You can see it?'
"What? I can see what?"
'The blood, you see the blood?'
"Yes!" Nikki lets out a sigh, "That's what I've been telling you!"
"Uh Nikki, are you okay?" Kaoru asks.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Because you're talking to air...and frankly, it's scaring me."
'Finally...I can rejoin the world of the living.' All of a sudden, Nikki felt like a semi truck was slamming into her and she fell down, clutching her chest. She lets out a cry of pain and hunches over, silently willing it to stop.
"Get...out...of...me..." she says, her teeth clenched. She stands up, still partially hunched over from the pain. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"she yells angrier this time.
"Nikki..."
'So that's your name..'
"What's it to ya?" finally the pain subsided.
"I think something's possessing her." Spatial grabs Nikki by the arm, "Girl! Get a grip!" Nikki tears herself away from Spatial's grasp.
"Get off me Spatial!"
"We want to help Nikki-dono, that we do."
"No! Just stay away! All of you!" she holds her head, trying to get the voices inside of her to stop. "JUST GET OUT!" she yells sobbing. Kenshin hands his nightvision camera to Battousai and grabs Nikki, pulling her into a hug.
"Nikki-dono, you must calm down, that you must."
"Oh god Kenshin, just make it stop, please." Nikki cries. Kenshin hugs her tighter and kisses the top of her head.
"Sessha is here Nikki-dono, that he is. He will help you, that he will."
'You don't need to be afraid.'
"GOD! JUST STOP TALKING TO ME! PLEASE! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Nikki begins crying harder.
"Oh my god. She is possessed." Spatial begins shaking Battousai's arm, "I heard a voice tell her that she didn't need to be afraid."
"Well, she's not." Jason says.
"She's not?"
"Nope, she's scared shitless." Kaoru smacks Jason.
"Now is not the time for jokes, gaywad."
"JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ANYWAY?" Nikki screams.
'I think you know who I am.'
"NO! I DON'T!"
'I will give you a hint, this is my house.'
"OH MY GOD! ISABELLA GET OUT OF MY HEAD! I DON'T WANT YOU IN HERE JUST GET OUT! Please."
'I wish I could'
"Uh, Isabella..." Spatial steps closer to Nikki and Kenshin.
'Who is this girl?'
"I'm Spatial, one of Nikki's friends. And uh, just to let you know, we only want to help you. So, uh..."
'Are you my husband?' Spatial was confused by this.
"Erm, no."
'Then you can't help me.'
"Okay then." A gunshot rang through the air, followed by a woman's scream, startling everybody.
"OH MY GOD! KAORU!"
Me: MWAHAHAHAHAHA! EVIL STORY WRITER ME! Leaving you people at a cliffie. Heh, heh. Review Responses!
Spatial- WAI! (Glomps her new plushies) And that was a biased answer! Tsk tsk! Not nice missy. Personally, I think Spatial's great! Nikki too! LoL.
Jou-chan- I'm LoLing right along with you. As for this chappie DUM DUM DUM!
Spitfire-Hanyou15- Don't worry. (Pats your back comfortingly) You didn't sound like a little shit. Everyone is entitled to their own opnion(I finally spelled that right!)and I respect that. Sorry, I won't do it anymore. Indeed thankfully nothing came out...it would've hurt first of all...secondly, it wouldn't have been good for the computer. Now I just need to get the picture of someone spitting out dinner through their nose out of my head. (Sigh)
Reignashii- Just asking...suuuuuurrrreee. And my mom's taking a paramedics course...dangit! You were just asking. And is that a suggested plotline I was hearing/reading? Or is that my overactive imagination speaking again? See ya in your next review!
Oyuu-Saramoto 14- That's four people. Who've rolled on the ground laughing at my fanfics...I mean. Yeesh, I might be some sort of health risk and not know it or something. And yes, I am random...how'd you guess? Heh, LOL. I hope to get to know you too.
Evil-chan- Me: (still running away but has time to type this by some miracle) Oh yeah, that's real nice, thanks for no help whatsoever! You know perfectly well that I'd help you in this situation...I think...yeah, I would. Batts: DON'T THINK IT'S OVER YET WENCH! Me: Crap! I didn't wanna do this. Oh Rabid Fangirls! Lookie! RBF: Battousai! (screams and chases after him) Me: Poor guy...(sighs) I really did not wanna do that. And yes, it does help the plot...it helps the plot very mucho grande. Heehee, Nikki's ancestral language...Spanish...hee. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (runs off in a maniacal authoress way)
Me: (bows) Arigato for the reviews, and R and R please.
Kaoru: And for a nice picture of Isabella, that the authoress found on the internet, e-mail said authoress at for one.
Me: It may come up as "From: Mark Schelling" but that's my daddy's name...the subject will be Picture of Isabella. Onegai Shimasu! (Why did I say that?)
