A/N; sorry about the last chapter being so short. I'll try to make this one longer but no guarantees. And thank you all who reviewed, I'm really happy you did. So on with the chapter. Oh and I do not own Ghost Stories or any of its characters.

Chapter Five

The Deal

Satsuki ran down the street as fast as she could. He had heard Hajime's calls after her but she ignored them. She just wanted to be alone to think right now. She ran all the way to school, up the flights of stairs to her classroom and flung open the door. She ran to desk, set down her back and plopped down in her chair. Satsuki then laid her head on the cool wood of the desk and tried to think.

"Do I really like Hajime?" she asked herself.

"You know you do," said a voice. Satsuki quickly lifted her head and looked around the room. It was then she noticed for the first time no one was in the room. Satsuki took another sweeping look around the room and it was clear she was the only one here.

"Am I hearing things?" she asked herself out loud.

"No, you're not." Said the voice again. Satsuki quickly stood up and looked behind her. There was the owner of the voice…Tensai. Satsuki gasped and backed away form the ghost that stood before her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"The question is what are you doing here? I saw him kiss you. You do desire him." Tensai said talking a step towards her for every step she took to get away from him.

"No, I don't!" she yelled but she heard her voice crack at the end.

"Yes you do. You've wanted him for quite a long time. You love the way he looks at you. None of the other boys do and you secretly love his perverted remarks about your ass. Admit it."

"N-No you're wrong," Satsuki had backed up too far and now had her back to the wall. Tensai closed the gap so there were only a few inches between them.

"You know I'm right. I can see all of your desires. I know what you long for. You can't hide anything from me Satsuki." Tensai said with an evil malice in his voice. Satsuki just stared at Tensai with a shocked expression. A part of her knew he was right, but part of her wanted him to be wrong.

"You know…I could find out if he desires you as well," he said looking at his fingernails.

"What?"

"I could see if he feels the same way towards you. But I'd need something in return."

"What do you want?" Satsuki asked with an eyebrow raised.

"I want you to stop hunting me, for lets say a month. Do that and I'll see if Hajime desires you?" The expression on Satsuki's face told all. He knew she was thinking about his deal and he knew she would accept it.

"Well…" Satsuki started to say but was interrupted by the sound of the classroom door being opened. Both Satsuki and Tensai turned to see all of Satsuki's friends standing in the doorway staring at the two.

"Satsuki get down!" Hajime yelled as he picked up the closest chair and chucked it at Tensai. Satsuki quickly dropped to the floor. The chair flew at Tensai, but was cut down in mid-air by his sword.

"Think about it Satsuki," he said as he became transparent and disappeared from the room.

Hajime came running to Satsuki's side.

"Are you alright?" he asked. Satsuki looked up at him and saw their faces were only about an inch apart. She could feel the warmth of a blush creeping across her face.

"I-I'm fine," she stammered as she tried to get up.

"Here let me help," Hajime said offering her his hand. Satsuki just stared at the hand for a few minutes, but she eventually took it and let him help her up. Satsuki stared down at her hand in Hajime's and again could feel herself blushing. Thoughts of what it would be like of the two got together started to rush through her mind but were broken when Leo started talking.

"I can't believe a ghost attacked you in the middle of the day," he said scratching his head.

"It was God punishing her for her sinful ways," said Momoko

"Hey! I am not that big a sinner! You're just an overly judgmental Catholic." Satsuki retorted.

"Aren't all Catholics judgmental?" asked Hajime.

"Yes but she more judgmental than most," Satsuki said.

"I only speak the truth. So long sinners see you later," with that Momoko left to go to her class.

"She really makes me angry sometimes,' Satsuki said as she made her way to her desk and sat down. Hajime quickly followed and sat next to her.

"Are you sure you want to stay at school. I mean you just got attacked by a ghost; you could play sick and go home. And to make it more convincing I'll play sick with you."

"Why do you want to play sick?"

"So I can make sure you and your cute ass get home alright. Also this way I can finally get those panties you owe me," he said with a cocky grin. Satsuki just rolled her eyes.

"Fine," she answered.

"Awesome! Now when the teacher gets here we'll play sick and Leo," Hajime turned to face Leo, "make sure you get our homework."

"Fine," Leo said with a sigh as he moved towards his own desk.

Thirty minutes later

Satsuki walked down the sidewalk listening to Hajime compliment himself on such a great excuse.

"I knew the fake flu would get him. That teacher is such a dumbass! I so rock!" Satsuki just smiled and nodded.

"So…I'm thinking about five pairs of panties will be good."

"Five! No way, you're getting two at the most!"

"Hey! You promised me those panties way back when. The interest has building up you owe me five pairs of panties."

"Keep arguing with me and the only underwear you'll be getting will be my brother's skid mark stained whitey-tighties!"

"You know that's not right," Hajime said looking a little green from the mental image. Satsuki just smiled triumphantly.

Satsuki and Hajime eventually reached Satsuki's house. She opened the door and walked inside.

"Stay out here," she said to Hajime as she went upstairs. Satsuki laid her backpack on her bed and went to her dresser. She started rummaging through it looking for her two least favorite pairs of underwear when she heard her door creak. Satsuki turned to see Hajime standing in her doorway just staring at her.

"I told you to stay outside," she said.

"I didn't want to," he said in a monotone voice. Satsuki stared at him for a second and then noticed his eyes. They had that nobodies-home look he gets when he saw a hot babe.

"Hajime…are you okay?"

"No I'm not," he said taking a step towards her.

"What's wrong?" she asked getting nervous.

"I need you," he said just as he lunged at her and tackled her to the floor.

"What are you doing?"

"I need you Satsuki," Hajime said. He began kissing her neck and rubbing his hands up and down her sides.

"Hajime stop," Satsuki whimpered.

"I can't stop, I need you. I want to have you. I love you," Hajime's voice seemed to change as he spoke those words. Satsuki knew what was going on. She shoved Hajime off of her and quickly stood up.

"Tensai!" she yelled. Hajime started to laugh but suddenly fell silent. Hajime closed his eyes and fell to the floor and standing at his feet stood Tensai.

"You possessed him?!" Satsuki exclaimed.

"Yeah, but the look in your eyes was priceless. How about our deal?"

"After that stunt I have half my mind to put you to Spiritual Sleep right now!"

"Don't be that way. You know while I was in him I found out a few things. Like how he feels about you."

"Really?" Satsuki's anger that was about to boil over disappeared.

"Do we have a deal?"

"You get two weeks. That's it. Not a month. Fourteen days. That's the new deal," Satsuki held out her hand.

"Deal," Tensai took Satsuki's hand and started to vanish.

"Hey, what about my answer?"

"You'll get it tomorrow at school, little girl. Pleasure doing business with you," with those last words he vanished, leaving Satsuki to wonder if she had just made the biggest mistake of her life.
