CHAPTER 8: HAUNTED HOUSE
It has been a week since the boys start their training with Ronna's grandfather,Master Dan. Their skills in martial arts are improving and becomes stronger each day together with their powers. Its 5 o'clock in the morning and as usual,the boys are training with their master. The boys are doing some target practice by shooting the targets that will pop out of the bush using their element powers, fireballs,ice spikes and electricity.When its time to polish their martial art skills,they fought each other,using the skills they've learned. An hour later,they stop as they are about to get ready for school. "Fewhh. That was some workout!" Boomer exclaimed with his hands on the back of his head. "Yeah..." Brick said,holding a small towel. Butch just nodd while wiping away the sweat from his face. After eating their breakfast,they took their shower with Brick being the first one to go. Soon after,they waved goodbye to both Ronna and Master Dan as they went out to spent the first day of the weekend. However,they haven't plan any activities yet. "What should we do today?" Boomer questioned Brick. "No idea..." Brick sigh. Like Brick, Butch sigh. "How is the boys grandpa?" Ronna ask. "They are still young but their potentials are far beyond average." Master Dan said as he sips his tea. "Moreover,their skills are improving as well as their powers." he added.
Meanwhile...
Momoko is still in her bed,mumbling in her sleep. "Don't steal my cake!!..." she mumbles. Suddenly,her alarm clock went off,waking her up. After tidying up her bed followed by a shower,she went downstairs to eat her breakfast. On the table are toast bread and waffles. While she was eating,her sister, Kuriko asks, "Dreaming about candies again?". "Yeah! So what?" Momoko ask while looking at her sister with a glare. "You should cut down on sweets or else gonna grow down there! Then no boys will like you!" Kuriko mock,pointing at Momoko's belly. Those words has cause her sister's blood to boil until you can see the vein on her head. She was about to pounce on her sister like a panther when she sees the clock. "Oh my gosh!! Its almost 9 o'clock! I have plan to go shooping today with my friends!" Momoko rush to her room to take her wallet from her study table. She rush downstairs and waves goodbye to her mother and little sister as she went out. A few minutes later,she arrives at Miyako's house with both Kaoru and Miyako waiting infront of it. "Finally! We've been waiting for you for 10 minutes!" Kaoru exclaimed,crossing her arms. "Well at least I'm here right?" Momoko said. Miyako just smile at her friends and says, "Well then lets go!". So all three of them make their way to the mall.
Its been half an hour since the boys left the 'house' as they slowly walk down the lane. Brick sigh and says, "Man can this day get any boring or what?". "Yeah. We've been to the arcade every weekend and theres no bullies to pick on." Butch said. Boomer was not paying attention to his brothers as he was busy picking his nose. They continue to walk and as they about to make a turn,they bump into someone. "Hey! Why won't watch where your'e go..." Brick said angrily,rubbing his head as he realise that he bump into a certain redhead name Momoko. "Brick?" Momoko ask,rubbing her head. Brick stood up,giving her a wink and says, "Well well. If it isn't Momoko and her sissy friends.". The boys laugh at the girls,causing them to be angry. "Well at least we're not the ones who got detention last week!" Momoko tease. The boys stop laughing. "Hey what's up babe? If you are one!" Butch mock as he laugh at Kaoru. "You better take that back before I make you see black and blue!" Kaoru said angrily,tapping her fist on her left hand. Butch gulp and steps back. Boomer was picking his nose when Miyako waved at him,which he returns.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Brick ask. "For your information,we're going shopping." Momoko replied proudly. "Man can this day get any worse!" Brick thought outloud. Suddenly he turn his attention towards the notice on the wall. It says, "Beware! This house is haunted!". Brick grin after he read it as he taught of an idea of how to make this day less boring. "Hey girls! I got a something fun came up!". Everyone turn their attention towards him. "How about us boys,challenge against you girls to go into that house!" Brick said proudly,showing the notice. "Losers will ahve to treat the winners!" he added. The boys look at the girls with a smug. "Alright! Will do it!" Momoko said. Miyako was shivering wth fear when she sees the word 'haunted' on the notice. "Aw come on Miyako! I bet is just a house where nobody lives in anymore." Kaoru said as she tries to calm her friend.
So all of them enters the gate and slowly walk to the door. The house is more of a mansion. Judging from the looks of it,nobody have live in here for a long time. Everyone gulp as Brick opens the door. Inside of the house looks even messier as the carpets and curtains are torn apart. The wallpapers are scrapped and windows are broken. When they entered,the door close by itself, frightening them. "So lets do this. I will go with red,Boomer will go with Miyako and Butch will go with Kaoru." Brick said. Everyone nodded in agreement and each pair went into three different rooms. In the first room, Brick and Momoko are walking straight into a dark room fill with the remains of the curtains. They stumbled upon another door but it is lock. "We can't get through!" Momoko said as she tries to open it. "Out of my way!" Brick said,pushing Momoko aside as he kicks the door open. Momoko looks at Brick with amazement. "Wow his stronger then before!" Momoko thought. The door fell,revealing a hallway. As they continue to walk,they saw potraits on the walls. "Do you think this are the people that lived in here before?" Brick ask. "Don't know." Momoko answered. Brick was looking on the potraits when Momoko is holding his arm. "What are you doing?" Brick ask Momoko. "Uh nothing! Just feeling a bit cold thats all!" Momoko said as she let go of her grasp,blushing.
