Akari shivered as yet another tingle ran up her spine. Whenever Hikaru dragged her up here she couldn't help but get the chills. "Hey Hikaru? Are you sure we should be doing this?"

"Why not? Grandpa has no idea we're here, and besides my parents cut my allowance again. Seriously, you can't do anything with 50 yen these days," Hikaru complained. Akari watched as yet another broken...something, was added to the ever growing pile of discarded items.

"Well, if you just studied or saved up, you wouldn't be in this mess!"

"Oh, shut up! You sound just like my mother! Sometimes I swear-ooohh, this looks nice!" Hikaru exclaimed. With a grunt he pulled out a dusty board.

"Hey, isn't that one of the boards you play chess on?" Akari asked peering over his shoulder. She waved her hand trying to dispel the clomps of dust that decided to fly up when the board was moved.

"No idea, but it should be worth quite a lot," Hikaru replied while wiping the dust off the surface. "Now if only I could get this stain off."

Akari looked at Hikaru in surprise. The board looked fine to her. "Hikaru? There's no stain on the board, it looks perfectly clean."

This time it was Hikaru's turn to stare at Akari quizically. Could she not the the red stain along the side of the board? It looked as clear as day to him. In fact, he could of sworn it was blood if he didn't know whose attic they were in. "What are you talking about? This stain right here."

"Hikaru, I'm telling you there is no stain!" Akari was getting exasperated, either Hikaru was trying to scare her for kicks or he was going insane. It was most likely the first option, it wouldn't be the first time that Hikaru decided to tease her.

"Can you see it?"

Hikaru jumped up, startled "Who's there?"

"Hikaru…" Akari backed away nervously.

"Can you hear me?" the voice rang out, clearer than before.

"Who is it? Grandpa? This isn't funny!" Hikaru looked around wildly but couldn't seem to find the source of the sound, "Grandpa?"

"Hikaru, I'm leaving!" Akari turned and fled down the stairs. Even if they were talking about Hikaru, this was taking things a bit too far.

"You can hear me! Oh thank you Kami-sama, I shall now return to the living world."

The goban started to glow; Hikaru stared at it fascinated as a man appeared. He was wearing a-a-dress? The last thing he remembered was the man's incredibly long purple hair before the floor rushed up to meet his face.


So...How was it? Please review! I get really happy when people review :D
