Kilnorc: Wow...been awhile since I've updated THIS fanfic, huh? Hehe, I remember I had to quit due to trip to the ER and recovering from it. By the time I got fully recovered, it wasn't the Halloween season anymore, so I didn't have it in me. But now...in the new beginning of October, one year later, I am back, much more healthy, and I am ready to finish!

Axe: About time...

Kilnorc: Shut up, Pochi -smacks with stick-

Axe: Oi!

Kilnorc: I couldn't think of a better title...hehe...

"Dusty-chwan was so awesome!"

"She sings really good, why doesn't she sing like that for us?"

"She does, you just don't listen to her!"

"Either that or we're chasing her for one thing or another...,"

"PUT THE CATFIGHT BACK ON!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP, AZU!"

Kagura, and even the puppet of herself on her hand, sweatdropped at the end of Dusty's act. She looked at her puppet and sighed.

"At least we managed to keep the entertained," she mused.

The puppet nodded, "That's what's important. Now, what's next, torment lover-boy or torment bird-boy?"

"Those aren't really part of the act...,"

"Aw, c'mon, it'll be fun! I know you wanna do it!"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"No!"

"Yes!"

Kagura grabbed the puppet and shook it furiously, "I SAID NO AND I MEAN NO! I AM THE BOSS, NOT YOU! OKAY?!"

Off to the side, Hoko couldn't help but stare in confusion.

"It's just a puppet, Kagura-chan...,"

"Hell House,"

"House of the Dead,"

"Point of No Return,"

"Portal to the Spirit World,"

Axe, Rayo, and Shidyk stared at Toby and Kairi as they counted off the names of the myterious house with a lit window behind them, a house that was supposed to be abandoned.

"You guys done, or are you gonna go on all night with this sort of thing?" Axe asked, his eye twitching in annoyance, "We don't have all night, we want to have some fun here,"

"Yeah, Rayo and I have yet to break this pinata and get some candy," Shidyk pointed to Axe and held up his ever trusty beating stick, "Get to the point,"

Rayo had to grab Axe's tail to keep him from launching himself at Shidyk, "Down boy, heel!"

Kairi chuckled and pointed at the house, "That place is a converging point of evil, and the people of this island have tried their best to avoid it at all costs,"

"What happened?"

"Not sure, but it happened decades ago and since then, it's supposedly been abandoned. That's why it's odd that a light should be shining in that window over there,"

"How do we know you're telling the truth, and not just making this up yourself?" Rayo asked them coolly, "You two aren't exactly known for being honest...or kind for that matter, why should we believe that you guys, this could be a pack of lies or a prank,"

Toby growled and his eyes flashed yellow a moment, "We're not!"

"Yeah, whatever," Shidyk scratched his head and began to walk off, "C'mon, Rayo, let's find a better tree to string up the gator pinata,"

"Right behind ya,"

Kairi and Toby watched as the two other outlaws walked away from them, back towards the festival area, dragging a begging gator costumed treasure hunter behind them.

The werewolf growled, "Told you they wouldn't fall for it,"

Kairi's eye twitched, "Shut up, Toby...that just means we'll have to try something else," she pulled out a Den Den Mushi, "Alright, guys, the plan didn't work, time for something new,"

Toby turned his head to the house to see the light from the window move around and out of the house, coming closer and closer to them. Damien Bran the Blood Raven, in raven form, fluttered near with a large lantern gripped in his talons. He set the lamp down and reverted to his human form.

"Any ideas, Captain?"

"I'm making it up as I go along,"

"Oh, that's always worked out well in the past,"

"Shut up, Toby,"

Back at the festival, with the entertainment dying down, the large assortment of pirates went about the area, checking out some of the food booths and gaming areas that had been set up around the village. They also learned some more about the fun traditions and games of Samhain Island.

A few of them tried bobbing for apples, but the one that always came out on top was Herman due to the fact that he can survive underwater without holding his breath.

When it came to tasting the sweets...well, let's just say DJ's Speed-Speed powers came in handy for chasing down an overly-hyperactive kitsune girl. There was all sorts of activities on Samhain, including a large haunted house ride that the pirates enjoyed going through, despite getting spooked by the things inside.

After the haunted house, they took up an activity called "Trick or Treating". They each grabbed a large burlap sack from a nearby festival worker and learned that if they went around the island, knocking on doors and saying "Trick or Treat" then they would get candy or some other treat to fill their bags with. Some of them had a blast with this, while others were a bit disappointed with what they got, because not all people gave out candy, but fruit for some odd reason.

Nick stared angrily at the large apple he was holding in his hand, "Nature's candy my ass...," he threw it over his shoulder, nailing Devon in the back of the head, "Anyone got any extra candy they wanna share?"

Kirsty had to hold onto Devon to keep him from wailing on Nick for the fruit barrage.

"You know," Jinko thought aloud as she chewed on a chocolate bar, "When we're done with all this, maybe we oughta head back to the ships and have our own little bit of fun,"

"Like what?"

Jinko shrugged, "Telling scary stories, spooking contests, I don't know, I just thought of a random idea," she looked around, "Wonder where Rayo-kun and Shidyk-kun are, I'm sure they'd love to get in on this. Especially Rayo, I keep getting an ass-load of pocky and he loves that,"

"You know, I can't help but think that this is getting a little old,"

Rayo yawned, bored, as Shidyk continued to pummel Axe with a stick, "Maybe, we've been doing this for awhile now. I'm starting to think we wore this thing out and should've stayed with the group,"

"Yeah, maybe," Shidyk gave one last swing, harder than the rest, making both the stick snap in half and Axe yelp in pain, despite the layer of foam rubber around his body, "Well, I'm bored now,"

"Finally,"

"Shut up, pinata,"

"I don't know about you two," Rayo rose from the rock his was sitting on, stretched and turned back to the town, "I'm heading back to the others...chances are they're having more fun than we are,"

"Wait for me," Shidyk called, walking after him.

Axe watched from his place above the ground, suspended from a thick tree branch as his two tormentors walked off.

"Oi, what about me?!"

Kilnorc: Okay, not much here, but hey, I'm just getting back into this fic after a year of hiatus so cut me some slack, lol. Any ideas, feel free to write in a review and I'll consider them. Peace, ya'll!
