Ghost 1

[whitelilacs]

Tezuka struggled to regain his balance as Yukimura unexpectedly fell back towards him. Despite the extreme cold that nipped at his arms, his hands firmly held onto Yukimura's shoulders helping him to his feet.

"Yukimura, are you okay?" Tezuka glanced down at the seemingly delicate Rikkaidai captain.

[Remon]

Blushing as he followed after Ryouma, Dan silently studied the other tennis player. He was use to people dragging them around, but not Ryouma. The other player seemed to never even glance at him, unless it was in a tennis match. It made him smile to think he was getting attention.
"T-thanks for helping me up, Ryouma kun desu.." He mumbled shyly, pushing up his headband slightly, to keep it out of his eyes.

[PeachFan]

Trailing behind the smaller pair, Inui couldn't have agreed with Ryoma more.

"I believe I heard Shishido shouting just now, so we should come across at least a couple others from Hyoutei soon."

As much as he hated to admit it to himself, Inui was steadily getting more and more on edge as time went by. Even for someone like him, keeping a clear head was becoming a challenge. However, old habits die hard and he found himself pulling out his trusty green notebook to take down observations.

Dan Taichi: Good natured and soft spoken. Seems to have a bit of bad luck about him, or perhaps just a natural clumsiness. Also seems to be quite infatuated with Ryoma Echizen... Echizen remains totally oblivious.

As he stashed the notebook back in his bag, he couldn't help cracking a small smile as he continued thinking to himself.

Ii data...

(XD Man, I've been waiting to crack out the data.)

[tessa]

(ooc: Gakuto's already in the mansion, so he's separated from the rest of the Hyotei group.)

Gakuto:
He yelped as the front door, really just a few feet behind him, slammed shut. And apparently, he wasn't the only one right there.

"Who, who's there?" He wondered, fumbling around as he looked for his flashlight.

[yoshikochan]

"I'm fine, sorry for causing you trouble." Yukimura pulled away once he was up, feeling uncomfortable be held by Tezuka. Turning back to the room, he asked, "What on earth do you think this is?"

[aibacchi]

Fuji continued running his hand across the walls, as though expecting something to happen. For some reason he felt a little agitated that Tezuka's attention was on Yukimura, but pushed the feeling away. There's nothing to be agitated with, I'm just being silly.

"I wonder what all these dark splotches are. They're kinda odd." Fuji went over to the chair and picked it up, sitting on it. "What do you guys suppose this room was for?"

[Sheenie]

"The Yuushi-obsessive...?" Marui asked loud enough so the other boy can hear him. "Are you in here too?" his voice quivered slightly. He reached in his bag and rummaged through the snacks, then pulling out a portable cake-shaped lamp and turning it on.

"From which direction, Inui-senpai?" Ryouma didn't even know who this Shishido was, but not like he cared.

[tessa]

Gakuto:
"Is that, a cake-lamp?" Gakuto stared in disbelief. "Are you really that obsessed with sweets or something?"

Then the other guy's words sunk in. "I am not Yuushi-obsessive!"

[yoshikochan]

"Let's catch up with Fuji," Eiji sniffed. "I bet it's safe with him cause he can be totally scarier than this place."

He tugged on Oishi's jacket, towards the mansion and away from the gate, which seemed to loom over them darkly.

[miruchu]

"Uh, sure, why not?" Oishi decided to follow Eiji's lead and he looked around, trying to find a place to get in the house so they can be together with the group. He craned his neck to find any opening into the house.

------

Jirou tugged on Oshitari's sleeve. "Where's Gakuto?" He peered around the dead garden. "He's not here? And where's Marui!?!" Jirou whined. This was not fun at all. Besides, why isn't Atobe here?

[dyaoka]

((I sent a PM to you miruchu, I don't know if you got it. xD; The front door is locked; you can't get in or out.))


As Fuji ran his hands over the tiled walls, a low moan came from outside the small room.

[yoshikochan]

Taking a cue from Oishi, Eiji wrapped his face with his teddy bear handkerchiefs. Even past the thick, locked door his nose picked up the wretched smell from nearby.

"... Oh Oishi, there's a tree!" He pointed up at a gnarled, leafless tree that stood eerily at the side of the house. "Maybe we can climb it to get in? I don't like it out here anymore." The fog seemed to press in on them, and Eiji shivered even though he didn't feel cold.

[miruchu]

Oishi looked at the tree. It looked old, gnarled and heavily scarred. He followed the branch extending out from the tree and into a nearby window. "Sure, let's do it," he muttered. The fog was making it so hard to see and plus, he was shivering or shaking or maybe freaking out. "Eiji, why don't you go first? You're lighter? And maybe I'll follow your lead.

[yoshikochan]

"Okay!" cried Eiji, already feeling excited. The tree was just perfect for climbing, and he'd always loved climbing whatever he could when he was little.

He walked up the lower part of the bent trunk and onto the first branch.

[Sheenie]

"...I thought it was cute~" Marui explained, showing the Hyoutei guy the :3 face on the lamp. "And it looks sooo yummy... Anyway, what do you wanna do now?" He totally ignored Gakuto's protests, making a bubble from his gum.

(I totally forgot about his gum. >-<

(Err, I forgot that peachfan was away? Or is she? xD; Anyway, I'll just continue on..)

Ryouma walked toward the huge blob through the fog, dragging the other freshman by the hand. "What the hell is creating this freaking fog.." he muttered to himself in a pissed of tone. "Gah...." I've played tennis with one eye before, this should be nothing.. And then he saw a bright red-haired person climbing a weird tree and a weird-haired person at the bottom. They could be no one else.. "...I don't wanna call them...then I'd have to face Eiji-senpai's death glomp.. Hey, Dan...." He turned around to Dan.
