Konoha

[Komori Kazemaru]

"Kamuchi," Sasuke nudged the said person. "Who is he?"

Komori slowly backed up until she felt the rough bark of a tree beneath her calloused fingers. Twilight nudged her forwards though. "Chicken," he smirked.

"Shut up,"

[Kamuchi Saigo]

His expression hardened, "Dark hatred, fallen comrades, death gods. Why do those things subsist with the good? How could they?" The boy appeared to be only 8, yet, he gave off so much emotion. His raven locks fell gracefully from his head, he was a charming young boy, but his eyes. His eyes were dull and grey, as if painted once, but had been rained on after the years. "Confused souls, lost sadness, lonely roads, how could God allow such things."

Ignoring Sasuke Kamuchi continued to stare, captured by the spirit's feelings. As if put under a trance she did not budge, just continued to gaze. "To be where you feel safe, happy and important and just ripped away from the place to continue your search for it once again. Why?" The ghost's unwavering voice penetrated Kamuchi's conscious, her eyes widening for a brief moment, reliving the moment her mother died.

[Komori Kazemaru]

Komori stared at the skeleton-like ghost, its jaws clicking together. It looked as if it were speaking to Kamuchi, and perhaps it was. This didn't comfort Komori any, and she remained by Twilight's side. She glanced at Kamuchi, who looked a bit dazed. "K-Kamuchi...whats it saying?"

[Kamuchi Saigo]

"To search for the place you started out from..." Kamuchi repeated as the ghost's jaw moved on at the same time. She was like the mirror, mimicking everything the ghost did. Holding her hand to her chest she continued, "How can life be so greedy?"

Kiba and Nika stared at the ghost, wondering what kind of strange spirit it was. "What... are you?" Kamuchi asked after the ghost's jaw stopped.

"A lost, torn apart soul who desprately tried to define himself with actions no words could explain. Nanimonai," Kamuchi repeated as the ghost explained, narrowing his eyes.

[Komori Kazemaru]

"Nanimonai," Komori murmured as she listened to Kamuchi's translation. It was so sad, how much the little ghost seemed to feel and understand. How could he know so much at such a small age? Suddenly, Komori was no longer afraid, but longing to help the boy. "Nanimonai..." she repeated softly.

Twilight cocked his head. "Naneee...monaaaiii..." he said slowly. "Damn, thats long..."

[Kamuchi Saigo]

"To die, and die over again, losing your soul, finding it then losing it again, is that what life's about?" he inquired in deep thought, staring blankly at Kamuchi. The tension grew, his hardened gaze seemed to make Kamuchi defend herself as if he were charging her with a hundred kunais.

His dull grey eyes seemed to have a thick cement wall blocking the story to be told behind. No way to crack it, but something... like a crack in the wall, unseen tears were flowing through like a wave of regret. There was only once thing you could see in his stormy grey eyes. A clear burden, so profound in nature the majority of the populace couldn't compare.

"The villagers... are scared... of this little boy?" Kamuchi asked her voice quivering, shaking from the tears threatening to fall. She could relate, to everything Nanimonai just said, nothing in the world could've made more sense, not even her name being Kamuchi, because, who really knows?

[Komori Kazemaru]

Komori raised an eyebrow. "This little kid killed twelve people?" she stared at the transparent skeleton.

"Not possible..." Sasuke muttered. "Had to be a different ninja..."

Twilight studied the skeleton closely. If he looked closely, he could see a faint outline of a small boy around the ectoplasm bones.

[Kamuchi Saigo]

Kiba turned around, wondering where Tohiru went, finding her figure passed out on the ground he sighed picked her up and placed her on Nika. "She probably got scared..."

Kamuchi reached out to Nanimonai, but he slowly faded into the distance, as did the skeleton. "Wait!" she cried running after the spirit turning back he nodded once, but then disappeared into the dark lonely night. "...Wait..."

[Komori Kazemaru]

Suddenly, as the ghost left, Komori became aware of the other surrounding spirits again. Her eyes widened in horror as she remebered the shock on Kamuchi's face when she had seen how many they were. She shook Kamuchi's shoulder. "Kamuchi? H-how many ghosts are still here?" she hissed, panicked.

[Komori Kazemaru]

"Uh," Kamuchi paused for a second, taking in her surroundings, "Don't know, I lost count at seventy-four." Shaking her head she growled, "We should probably head to a nearby hotel though, it's getting late."

Nika, holding the passed out Tohiru on her back agreed, "The sooner she get's off my back the better!"

Kiba looked around and POOF! The man that had disappeared just moments before reappeared. Taken aback he let out a silent scream. "No need to be worried, you will come stay at my DOMAIN," he calmed.

[Komori Kazemaru]

"Holyshitwherethefuckdidyoucomefrom?!" Komori sucked in her breath, a little shaken.

Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Domain?"

[Kamuchi Saigo]

Without a word Suseiki turned at started down the stone path, by then it had already started to rain, Kamuchi simply took out a scroll, unrolled it and placed it atop her head. It dragged, blurring some of the ink, but that didn't matter because it was Sasuke's, she had stolen it the other night from his pack.

Arriving at the Inn Suseiki turned to them calmly, "You will be staying here, only one slight problem, we're packed. We have one available room, it is said to be haunted, but that should be no problem correct?"

Kiba snarled and opened his mouth to protest before recieving a extremely spooky look from him. He seemed like a ghost himself, so pale and calm. Kamuchi had no problem shouting her feelings out. "I think-" she was cut off by Kiba slapping a hand over her mouth.

"Shut up..." he hissed silently.

[Komori Kazemaru]

Komori nervously glanced around the house at the word "haunted". She slowly edged closer to the group.

Sasuke on the other hand, stared at the scroll Kamuchi had taken, now dripping with rain water. The ink was smeared and blotched; unreadable. Dirt was trailed on one edge where it had been dragging in the damp soil. "Kamuchi...is that my scroll?"

[Kamuchi Saigo]

Kamuchi glanced around nervously, "Uh, no of course not, why would you think that?" She quickly rolled it up and tried to cover the Uchiha symbol with her finger. "You see it's just one of my pretty blue scrolls..." She still wasn't really feeling the mood of ONE roomed that was HAUNTED.

Kiba coughed and took Akamaru out of his coat, "Arr..." He sounded at bit scared.

Nika chucked Tohiru at the bench while shaking her fur dry, "Wake up you dunce!"

Tohiru awoke with a sudden jolt feeling pain, "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

[Komori Kazemaru]

Sasuke glared at Kamuchi, seeing a bit of red poking out from her fingers. He sighed and took the scroll and looked it over. The writing was smeared everywhere, and he couldnt read it at all. Muttering angrily to himself, he tore it in half and stuffed it in the trash can that sat in the corner of their "haunted" room.

As Komori entered their room, she immedietly looked over every corner, every inch of the room, checking for anything haunted-ish. She instinctivly took Akamaru from Kiba's hands and cradeled him tightly to her chest. Twilight smirked under his bangs, his saber-tooth fangs glinting in the dim candlelight.
