Hi! :D

Okay, chapter 3. I'm hoping I can remember enough stories for every character. Well, this story is my own experience, and my friends experienced it too. Risa is my OC, and Kairi, Kira, and Tsubaki are my friends' OCs. I'm making it sound like Sai was present at the event. I might be changing the story slightly because I can't remember exactly if another one of my friends was present at the time, but the events are all true.

Anyways, enjoy! (I say that a lot…) :D

I Tell You a Story, You Get Scared

Chapter 3 – Sai

"I while ago, there was a sleepover and I was invited. That night, we used an Ouija Board. Since my friends are quite interested in the paranormal, this was something they did a lot", Sai began.

"Aren't they supposed to be dangerous, those boards?" Choji asked, only to be hushed by Shikamaru.

"Yes. But they knew how to make it safe. The medium, a girl named Risa, would do this little cleansing thing before they used the board, and it worked as usual. I sat out and decided to watch them, since I was new to this. They had lit white candles, as a protection against demons and evil spirits. Risa liked to be the host, and taught the others how to as well. They began the session. Risa told everyone to link knees, as a way of keeping bad spirits out. She banished all evil spirits from the board and said she welcomed in the good ones. Nothing happened, for a little while", Sai continued.

"So what happened then?" Naruto asked.

"After a little while, the planchette, which is the thing that spells out the things said on the board, started moving a little. They were excited, since this didn't often work, and asked for a name. The board did spell out a few letters gradually, but it wasn't spelling anything in particular. They made sure they didn't put too much pressure on the planchette, and that none were moving it on purpose. This happened for a little while, and they were pretty excited. After a little while, some of the others wanted to take a quick break and Risa closed the session so it was safe to break the knee link".

"Is that all?" Ino asked, surprised the story wasn't overly scary.

"No, there's more. When they decided to start again, Tsubaki convinced them to give up on the whole safety thing and try for any spirit. Risa, who was cautious, refused to join this time. Kira agreed, sitting back with her. Kairi watched on. Tsubaki put the red candles back into their red lantern looking holders. Red is the traditional colour used to welcome the not so nice spirits. Tsubaki placed two fingers on the planchette, and didn't say anything. Risa then realized that the rest of them in the room were in danger of the spirits just being there, and said to draw pentagrams on themselves. She drew on her hand, but Kira drew several all over herself. Kairi drew one, though I can't remember where. Risa said go get some salt, something about warding off evil spirits. By now Tsubaki was completely silent, and had her head down low", Sai continued the story.

"And then…?" Neji was quite drawn into the story.

"Risa, Kairi, and Kira tried talking to Tsubaki. She wouldn't answer. Risa tried talking to her several times, and soon feared the worst. Risa got involved, asking whatever was present with them to do something else in the room. There was a slight breeze, although the windows and door were shut. The candles flickered. Risa decided it was too dangerous to continue, and told Kairi to turn the lights back on. Risa stepped off the bed where she was sitting, only to flinch and move back. Kira asked what happened, and Risa replied that she had felt something burn her feet. She assumed it was candle wax, but the candles were too far away for that. The lights were back on, and Risa sprinkled salt on the floor. Tsubaki still wasn't moving, she looked half asleep and was frowning with her head down. Risa blew out the candles, and tried to talk to Tsubaki. Tsubaki was mumbling, but no one could tell what she was saying. Risa drew a pentagram on a piece of paper and stuck it to the wall. She hoped it may be somewhat effective. Kira was still kinda new to this whole spirit stuff, at least compared to the others, who had experience. After doing what she could, Risa refused to stay in the same room. She went into another room. I followed, so she wouldn't be alone. Kairi also followed, and Risa just sat down silently. She said she felt sick, I didn't know whether she was also affected, or just worried. I was told Tsubaki was still silent, but they managed to get her onto her bed. She was mumbling angrily, but still didn't do much else", Sai continued.

"Is that the end?" Tenten asked, spooked a little.

"Not quite. Risa remained silent for a little while too. I stayed with her, while the other two were back with Tsubaki. After maybe fifteen minutes, Tsubaki returned to her normal self, but said she had no recollection of anything after beginning the Ouija Board session on her own. After hearing this, Risa relaxed too. The night was a restless one, but nothing happened afterwards. Still, everyone took precautions and kept the pentagrams drawn on themselves. I don't think they've used the board since. But I think they plan to soon, taking more precautions than before. That's the end", Sai finished.

"… Dude, that was pretty cool", Kiba grinned. Everyone else nodded in agreement. Sai smiled, but no one could tell if it was real or fake.

"So, who's next?" Kiba asked.

"You are", Hinata pointed out, voice slightly shaky.

"Oh, yeah, you're right. Well, here goes…" Kiba said, as Sai handed him the torch.

"This is my story…" Kiba began.

Yes, this scared me quite a bit. But it hasn't deterred me at all. I just have to be more careful from now on, and make sure the others are too. So, like it? Hate it? Please review and tell me your thoughts! :D
