Ghost 1

[whitelilacs]

(I guess since everything went speeding by...and Tezuka never said anything to Kaidoh when he was standing next to him, I'll skip that and keep in real time with the storyline...so I'm less confused hehe XD;;; )

"Possibly. Perhaps we should see if anyone is inside." Tezuka commented, hearing the distinct cry of crows circling above and a faint rustling of the trees. Taking a few steps ahead of everyone, he took his time walking on this unfamiliar ground, unsure of what could pop up as the thick layer of fog setting at his feet made it hard to see where they were walking.

[tessa]

Gakuto:
Gakuto froze for a moment when he heard his name. That voice. He knew that voice. It could only belong to, "YUUSHI!" He cried out happily. "Where are you?"

And with that, everyone else could have disappeared for all Gakuto cared, treats or no treats.

---------------

Yuuta:
Yuuta stopped, bumping into something that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was his brother.

Hopefully this meant the others were close.

[plantress]

Kaidoh was happy to see Fuji-Sempai when they ran into him. At least that meant they were lost in this creepy fog.

[whitelilacs]

"Right behind you, Gakuto..." Oshitari leaned down over Gakuto's shoulder as he whispered next to Gakuto's ear, placing his hand on the other's shoulder. "Just as I thought, you guys would head in this direction." Glancing down at the mass of red hair at his side, he looked over at the silhouette of the building beyond the gates.

[tessa]

Gakuto jumped when he heard Yuushi's voice in his ear and the hand on his shoulder. Whipping around, he grinned as he came face-to-fac, err, found himself looking at the other Hyotei boy.

"Yay!" He cheered, glomping his doubles partner. "Yuushi's here!"

[aibacchi]

He felt a wave of relief flood through his body as he saw Yuuta and Kaidoh. He impulsively hugged Yuuta, even if he got scolded by him for doing such an embarrasing thing. Thank goodness he didn't get lost in this fog.

"Come on you two, the others went ahead. We better hurry and catch up."

[tessa]

"Wha-aniki, it's only been a fe-," Yuuta protested, squirming away from his brother. "Can we just get back with the others?"

Sheesh, why was his brother always so affectionate? It wasn't like they'd been separated for years or anything.

[aibacchi]

"Right, right. Let's go," there seemed to be a slight tone of hurt deep inside his words, he skillfully hid away. Fuji started walking back to the gate, making sure the two of them were following him, and not getting seperated form the group. He really wished that Yuuta and himself were close, like when they were younger.

[tessa]

...Okay, was it just him or did his brother seem a little, nah, couldn't be. There was was no way his brother sounded hurt.

It was Syuusuke he was talking about here. Syuusuke who was practically invincible.

Yuuta noticed he was falling slightly behind again and hurried so that he wouldn't get lost in the fog. There was enough creepiness being in the middle of nowhere in super dense fog without getting lost and alone.

[plantress]

Kaidoh had been a bit confused and embarrassed by Fuji-sempai's sudden display of affection, but he ignored it. It wasn't his place to question Fuji-sempai anyway.

He just made sure to stay close so that he didn't get lost in the creepy fog again.

[aibacchi]

They arrived back at the gate, but this time instead of stopping, Fuji walked inside.

"I wonder how far ahead everyone got," he seemed to have totally brushed off the fact he had gotten worried and having his affections rejected. "Come one, let's hurry up." Fuji picked up his pace, seemingly excited again about investigating the place.

[whitelilacs]

Slightly taken aback by Gakuto's cheering and glomping, Oshitari could only surrender himself to a smile as the other boy's face remained a matter of inches away from his own.

"Perhaps we should catch up with the others out front before you lose them in the fog..." He brushed a hand through Gakuto's hair, as he could hear Fuji pass by them.

-----------

Following closely behind Yukimura, Sanada walked along side him still holding both of their bags. The whole time they walked here he had been watching, and observing Rikkai's captain unable to shake the slightest amount of fear he had for Yukimura's safety. "You should stay close by...Yukimura." He placed an arm around Yukimura's shoulder from behind, to ensure that he wouldn't lose sight of the other boy.

-----------

From behind, Tezuka turned around hearing some of the conversation between Fuji and his younger brother in the background, and could catch the softest word Sanada had spoken to Yukimura.

"We should probably stay in groups, if not, pairs..." As they approached the front of the mansion doors, he added, "It doesn't seem like there really is anyone here..."

[Sheenie]

"...Did I lose him?" Marui wondered aloud. "Oh well, he probably found his Yuushi or something. He'll be fine~" He continued to munch on his treats as he followed the group heading someplace. Not like I have anything better to do... Without Niou here, it's boring~

(I need a Niou~ No one ever does Niou. xD And, and a Momo...no one ever does Momo either...)

[yoshikochan]

"Oh...alright." Yukimura blushed slightly, glad now for the lack of visibility in the fog. Sanada's hand felt warm on his shoulder, so different from the chill of the air around them. "Yes... staying in pairs should be adequate."

He looked up at the mansion, admiring the large, antique oak doors. "Oh, I think there is a knocker..."

-------

"My partner is Oishi, nya!" Eiji declared and gave a toothy grin. There was no way he'd let anyone else pair up with Oishi!

[Remon]

(I think I should get Dan up to the group...'w')

Sulking off the bus, dan followed the direction the other males where going, feeling a bit jumpy at the new change of pace, and scenery. "This fog is kinda creepy, desu..." he mumbled to himself, glancing around to see if he could spot out Ryouma somewhere in the large group of tennis players. It was going to be a long night...
