Author's Note : Chapter One heree~ ! :D Here's where things get spooky, but none the less, I had to throw in a little humour :) And yes, I enjoy Ino being totally KICK-ASS! * heart *

Also, you'll see that Sakura's gift starts to come into play. Good thing she has it, eh? Makes their lives slightly easier. And I know I said Sakura can only see ghosts in my prologue, but it also extends to other creatures and demons, okay? Just thought I'd clarify that. It is also an automatic power, she doesn't have to do something like, "TRANSFORM!" and she goes through that changing sequence like the Sailor Scouts... no, it just happens :P

And I really, really hate doing the whole POV thing. Just remember, most of the story is in Sakura's point of view. I'll write otherwise if it isn't Sakura's, but normally it'll start with her POV. Other's points of view will be mostly just to explain their thoughts, but I don't think I'll change the POV often. Oh my god, I can't even follow this, how are you supposed to?

Whatever. I doubt you guys even read these things ;)

Anyways, read on my little ghouls! I hope you like it! :)

Disclaimer : AHAHA! YOU FELL FOR IT AGAIN! I told you I owned Naruto, but I totally lied, and you totally fell for it. I bet you feel stupid now. Hahha, your such a moron! Oh, OH! You know I was just kidding, right? Please, please just put the pitch fork away. Violence is NOT the answer! LEAVE ME ALONEEEE!

We all sat on the floor in the murky depths of darkness, with just three candles burning a faint light so we could see, though everything was dim. The Ouija board lay in the middle of our intertwined triangle, facing our chosen medium, Ino. There was a nervous, eerie energy in the air. All was entirely silent, the only exception was our shallow breathing. Though the silence ceased, and Ino began interrogating the ghost with :

"Is anyone there?" she asked in a brave tone.

We all stared at the Ouija board. I was starting to feel uneasy when it slowly pointed to yes.

"Guys, I don't think we should continue..." before Hinata could finish, Ino questioned the spirit further.

"Are you a boy or girl?" She called out, although, her voice was starting to get shakier.
At a rather slow pace, it spelt boy. It's trying to scare us, I know it... Its slowly giving us answers to increase the suspense. To frighten us more. As if we could get any more spooked. The aura was very intimidating. Quickly, before Ino could say anything, I asked the spirit,

"What is your name?" I froze. What was it doing? My heart beat increased to what felt like a thousand beats per second. It wrote out his name rapidly, he calls himself Sasori. But that's not what terrified me. Immediately after it finished spelling the name, the pointer launched itself across the room! Suddenly, I heard a shriek from Hinata. I whipped my head around to look at what she was looking at. Immediately, I understood why she screamed. Before us stood a creepy, demonic, alive marionette. No strings. He had messy, red hair, and empty, brown orbs.

Ino, the bravest of us three, slowly backed away towards her backpack. Was see going to leave us here to die? No, see would never do that. My attention was then directed at the marionette slowly approaching me. He had killer intent in his eyes, but by the way he took his time coming towards me, I knew he'd most likely make this a long, painful, bloody death.

The puppet leapt towards me, ready to kill me without a second thought. I closed my eyes, waiting for the hit. Flashbacks ran through my head, my parents, Ino and Hinata, everyone who ever really mattered to me. A man with spiked, raven hair came to mind. He looked at me, with colourless orbs. He smiled, and mouthed words I couldn't translate through the dreamy like image. The image dissolved as my heart wrenched at just the quick look at him. I continued to wait for impact, some sort of pain. But I never felt it come. I opened one eye hesitantly to see Ino with a dagger in hand, clinging on to the puppets back, repeatedly piercing and slashing marks through the marionette. The puppet was swiping its arms back, trying to hit her, but seriously, this girl is like a ninja. Me and Hinata stared at Ino attacking the screeching puppet, eyes wide.

The puppet smacked her, and she went flying off. The marionette snarled, and viciously jumped on her, repeatedly hitting her.

"Ino!" Hinata cried, scared for her friends life.

She was helpless. Her dagger lay just beyond her reach. I want to help her. But, I'm scared. I'm too scared to die. But it isn't fair to let Ino die when she is sacrificing herself just to help us. But I stay frozen, regardless of my intentions. My body is betraying me. But then I see Hinata, timid little Hinata in statue form. I know I have to do something. So I run over to Ino's dagger, and push it into her grasp. Ino takes the dagger graciously, and gives a almighty swipe towards the marionette.

The marionette hisses, lands a single hit more in Ino's direction, and then there was a poof of smoke, and the marionette disappeared. For several minutes, we continued to stare, confused as to what happened, and how Ino defeated the marionette. Ino panted, and began to treat her own wounds, seemly unaffected by the recent strange events and Hinata stood, still frozen stiff.

~*~*~*Hinata's POV*~*~*~

'I was entirely useless. I would've let one of my best friends die! I couldn't do anything. Ino totally risked her life and took down that thing! And I just stood there...' I thought despairingly.

'And it was weird. I mean, I swear I saw this all before. But it seems like a hazy memory. But what I do remember... there was a marionette. Exactly like the one that just attacked us... But what does it mean? What about the other things I've seen. Like that raven haired boy and Sakura... what happened in that dream... that wouldn't happen... would it? It, it couldn't. No way. That'll NEVER happen...'

'It's all so bizarre. I feel like this isn't even the first time this has happened...'

Then Sakura began to shout.

~*~*~*~Sakura's POV*~*~*~

"Ino! What kind of stuff do you keep in your backpack?" I screeched.

"Heh... well, there's my dagger, pocket knife, and sword, Ouija board, books on dictators and wars, a wrench, glitter..." She kept going, but I started to ignore her when I saw Hinata's face.

"Are you okay?" I asked, looking at her still statue form.

"I, I don't think so. I mean, I've seen this all before, but in a dream." Hinata was glancing down while I analyzed the situation. "Wait one second." I told her, as I sauntered towards Ino.

"...and of COURSE my credit cards, my peach juice, and my lip gloss and mascara, my elastics, my sunglasses, my art supplies, my sheet music for choir, piano, violin, flute..." she trailed off when she saw my glare. If looks could kill...

"Are you finished yet?" I snapped. Gosh, why did I bring up the question?

"Nope. There's like, twenty five more things." she grinned like the Cheshire Cat, knowing I was annoyed.

"Whatever. Do you have your mythology book?" I requested.

"Sure do. Wait a sec." she said while rummaging through her bag.

"Thanks" I started flipping through the pages, when I came across the one I was searching for.

"I believe I am correct..." I muttered, then turned to face Hinata. "Hinata, have you ever had a similar experience?" she meekly replied yes."Then I think you have the ability to see the future." she looked petrified. I know it's a shock but...

"I, I can't. NO!" she shrieked.

"What's wrong?" I stared in shock.

"Because, also in my dream, there were ten more demons..."

Ino, for the first time ever, was speechless.

"Do you know how they came?" I questioned.

"No." She stated simply.

"Anything else?" I pried.

"Well, yes. It might not be true though, considering predictions of the future aren't entirely accurate, but, Sakura... you might, die..." she trailed off. None of us could understand that I might die because of a stupid Ouija board.

Suddenly, the grandfather clock down the hall chimed, enough so that we know its 11 o'clock. 11 at night and our brains are supposed to be working enough to kill ten more demons. And to think the worst thing that would have happened to us if we didn't use the Ouija board was teenagers on their little 'Pranking spree'.

Author's Note : Soo, I made it longer like promised :) Still kind of short though -_- I'm sorry!:( Sooo, did you like it? Which Akatsuki member would you like to see next? Do you like Ino's character as much as me? What do you think about Hinata's new found power? (By the way, that will have a really minor part in the story, just thought it would be cool if she had even the slightest idea of what horror's are coming next :3 ) Answer my many questions by reviewing please! :)
