Hatred Turned Love
 
Chapter 16: Silent Movement
 
Hey guys! I feel really bad for Akemi because she's being tricked so many times, but don't worry, she'll get through it! The exciting chapter continues!
 
AKEMI'S POV:
 
“Kaka…?”
 
“BOO!” boomed a voice.
 
“WAHHHHH!” I screamed.
 
“Just kidding, Akemi-chan…!” said Kakashi, laughing. He popped up in front of me.
 
“You promised!” I said angrily, tears erupting out of my eyes from fright.
 
“You weren't that specific…” said Kakashi. “I said anything rash… remember?”
 
“What the hell!” I snarled. “Rash is… is what you just did!”
 
“You sure?”
 
I wasn't specific… but… Wasn't that the same meaning as… never mind…
 
“If you want my HYPER-HYPO special combo so bad,” I said, grabbing Kakashi's book. “MANIA-!”
 
I felt another WHOOSH beside me.
 
“Akemi-chan?”
 
“Did-did-did-did-did-did-did you feel that?” I stammered.
 
“Feel what?”
 
“Don't play dumb!” I said angrily, punching Kakashi's shoulder.
 
“I didn't hear anything, I swear,” said Kakashi, rubbing his bruise. “We have to be careful.”
 
I shivered. Then I felt something really warm close around on my hand.
 
It was Kakashi's hand. The only warmest part was there. My whole body was so numb. My dogs nuzzled next to me.
 
“I promise I won't scare you,” said Kakashi. I saw his eye curve to tell me that he as smiling.
 
I sighed, clutching his hand REALLY tight.
 
“If you tried something…' I said angrily. “And if I go down, I'm taking you with me… I got the grip to prove it.”
 
“I thought you held me because you liked me,” said Kakashi.
 
I blushed.
 
“PSH!” I said. “Y… yeah right!”
 
Kakashi sighed.
 
“C'mon kid…”
 
Kid? I'm not a kid! I don't act like one! Grumble… grumble…
 
We walked and walked… this passageway is never going to end.
 
“You know… there was this one story…” said Kakashi. “That…”
 
“Oh come on!” I said angrily. “I'm… I'm through with scary stuff!”
 
“Then… why did you come?” asked Kakashi.
 
I snorted.
 
“Because…”
 
“Anyways…” continued Kakashi, smiling. “There was once this woman… and she lived in a house that was never owed by anyone for a long time.”
 
I let him continue.
 
“The woman met a ghost one day… she was terrified… the ghost told her that is she continued making passageways, that he would spare her,” said Kakashi. “Then… so the woman continued making door after door… passageway after passageway… she never stopped until she died.”
 
“Whoa…” I whispered. “Is this true?” (A/N: It is true, believe it or not… the sighting is around California… but I don't know the specific location…)
 
“Yup…” said Kakashi. “Let's go to the house later…”
 
“You've got to be kidding.”
 
“I'm not…”
 
I sighed.
 
“Then there's this one house that had a doorway in the back of an upstairs room,” continued Kakashi. “It was pretty weird.”
 
“Why?”
 
“Well… the small door had the lock from the outside,” said Kakashi. “Not the usual ones… like the inside.”
 
“So?”
 
“It would've been some sort of secret panic room if the lock was inside… but there was something eerie about it,” Kakashi remarked. “It looked as though… it was made to trap people… or cage them in the room… until the owner desired the person to be free…”
 
“That's… creepy.”
 
“Yeah…”
 
“Why are you telling me this now?” I said. “You could've told me this at like… Christmas or Thanksgiving… or something…”
 
“Today is Halloween so… I thought I might give you a taste of some fright.”
 
Kakashi grinned at me. I glared at him.
 
“Thanks…” I said sarcastically.
 
“Heheh…”
 
We continued walking.
 
“Would it help if I changed into Whitey?” asked Kakashi.
 
“No…” I said. “If you did… I can't hurt you then.”
 
“You did before.”
 
“Well… that was in the past.”
 
“Okay… then I should.”
 
“Do it and you're dead…”
 
“Okay, fine…”
 
Kakashi laughed.
 
“Want me to stitch your mouth closed?” I snapped.
 
Kakashi immediately walked silently.
 
We walked and walked.
 
“This is so boring…” I said dully.
 
The fright seemed to drain out of me.
 
“Looks creepy, doesn't it?” asked Kakashi. I saw him smiling at me.
 
“No duh…”
 
“Well… do you feel safe?”
 
“No.”
 
“How come?”
 
“You already know the answer to that, dork…” I said.
 
“Ah… but I feel safe when I'm around you,' said Kakashi.
 
“I'm going to ditch you when something comes,” I said. “So… what's the point?”
 
“That was really… messed up.”
 
“Heh…”
 
“Well… I won't ditch you…” said Kakashi. “I'll protect you, forever and ever…”
 
“You sound so noble,” I said. “Why are you such a kid?”
 
Kakashi shrugged.
 
“You never got mad at me,” I said. “Not even once.”
 
Kakashi looked at me, I stared right back.
 
“Dude… isn't there anything that'll make you tick?” I asked.
 
Kakashi smiled again.
 
“Hmm… nothing I guess,” said Kakashi. “I'm just wondering that myself…”
 
“What?”
 
“Why should I be mad?” asked Kakashi. “You… want me to be?”
 
I sighed.
 
“I guess not.”
 
He's just making me feel guilty now. Is that his plan?
 
I grabbed his book from his pocket vest.
 
“What if I burned this?”
 
“It won't really matter…”
 
“But before…”
 
“Well…” said Kakashi. “I have more copies…”
 
“How many?”
 
“Seven…”
 
“WHAT!?!”
 
“One is first edition,” said Kakashi counting off his fingers. “Another is second edition… the other is third edition, which got wet by the way… another is holographic… one is just a plain copy… another is third edition/holographic… and I have an ancient one that's…”
 
“Are you… collecting them like Pokémon cards or something?” I said. “That's so…”
 
“What's Pokémon?”
 
“You are such a queer guy…” I laughed. “No wonder you don't have any girlfriends.”
 
“I have my reasons…” said Kakashi. I couldn't even detect a single wisp of anger in his voice.
 
“What kind of person are you?” I asked.
 
“Ah… one of a kind…” said Kakashi.
 
I stared at the dark floor.
 
“I promise I won't ditch you,” I said. “I was just kidding before.”
 
Kakashi gave me a grin.
 
“Wow… that makes me happy… too happy I can cry…” he said. “Do you have a hanky?”
 
“Are you making fun of me?”
 
“Maybe… depends on what you're really asking.”
 
“Grr…”
 
“It might be… I'm being rude to offend you…” said Kakashi. “Or, I'm saying to keep you in a good mood.”
 
“So, which one?”
 
“I dunno…” said Kakashi. “Maybe the making-fun-of one.”
 
He was killing the streak of my gentle mode ever coming out.
 
I heard something… like… more swish and… groans?
 
“Crap…” I said, hiding behind Kakashi.
 
The whistling… like the wind… something was making sounds.
 
“You can have Kakashi!” I said, psyched out.
 
“What the…?”
 
“Eheh…”
 
“Hey… do you see that?”

See what?” I asked. My lips were trembling.
 
“No seriously, look,” said Kakashi.
 
He pointed to some light. It looked like… someone was in the doorway… just right across from us.
 
“It's probably the kids,” said Kakashi. “C'mon…”
 
“I dunno…” I said shakily.
 
Movies are always like this; the killer is standing beside the doorway, which is lightened, then… BAM! He comes out if the victim appears close to the door. Sometimes I scare myself, heehee…
 
“Here we are…” said Kakashi. He reached for the door.
 
“W-w-w-w-w-wait…” I said.
 
“What?”
 
“What if… like, a bomb explodes on your hand?” I asked. “Something might…”
 
Kakashi opened the door. I growled angrily.
 
“Stupid son of a …”
 
Inside was completely empty. The light was coming from…
 
The mirror.
 
“AHAHA!” I laughed nervously. “I knew it… the mirror was inside all along!”
 
“Sure you knew…”
 
There was an eerie presence coming from the mirror… this place was so creepy.
 
“Let's get out of here,” I said. “C'mon…”
 
“Hold up…” said Kakashi. “I think…”
 
He stepped toward the mirror.
 
“No way!” I said angrily, grabbing Kakashi's hand tightly. “If you die, how'll I get back.”
 
“I thought you would mourn for my death,” said Kakashi, grinning.
 
“Why should I?”
 
“That… was cold.”
 
I saw something on the mirror. Something moved.
 
“DID YOU SEE THAT!” I shouted. “THAT-THAT-THAT SOMETHING… THERE!”
 
“What?”
 
Soma and Sora barked. I made them vanish… something might happen to them too.
 
Kakashi walked toward the mirror, but again, I pulled his arm.
 
“Don't do this Kakashi,” I said. “Please…”
 
He gave me a look saying: “But I want to…”
 
I gave him a glare saying: “Do it… and it's not going to be paperback anymore…”
 
Kakashi gulped. Hardcover books hurt a lot more than paperback.
 
“Alright…” said Kakashi.
 
“Whew…”
 
The mirror flickered.
 
I saw… a wolf. And a… little girl?
 
“What the…?”
 
“What is it?” asked Kakashi.
 
He looked directly on the mirror. It was…
 
I couldn't tell… I couldn't see…
 
He slowly disappeared.
 
“Kakashi?” I said. “Kakashi… stop playing around… it's not funny…”
 
He didn't appear.
 
“K… Kakashi…?”
 
All I saw… was the empty room with a single eight foot mirror.
 
I stepped back.
 
“Crap…”
 
“AKEMI-CHAN!” yelled Naruto.
 
“GAH!” I yelped.
 
I turned around. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura came from behind me.
 
“Where's Kakashi-sensei?” asked Sakura.
 
“Erm…”
 
I looked around the room again… but there was nothing.
 
“What is that?” asked Naruto.
 
He pointed to the mirror.
 
The reason why Kakashi disappeared…
 
“Don't look at it!” I warned.
 
Too late.
 
Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura looked directly at the mirror.
 
“Oh no…” I moaned.
 
They grew all rigid. Then… one by one, they disappeared.
 
“NARUTO-KUN!” I screamed. “SAKURA-CHAN, SASUKE-BOZU!”
 
They didn't reply, they just… disappeared.
 
“This… this isn't happening,” I said.
 
“You better get out of here Akemi,” said Sai. “There might be some kind of jutsu or something that's doing this…”
 
“I can't just leave them!”
 
“You don't have a choice!” said Sai. “You have to inform the others…!”
 
“Crap…”
 
I heard something move.
 
“WHO'S THERE?” I shrieked.
 
No one… no one was there…
 
“What the…?”
 
The girl earlier before… why was she there?
 
And the wolf… it came back.
 
What's happening… why is this happening?
 
I felt a hand on my shoulder…
 
And I screamed.
 
To be continued…
 
What the heck??? Where's Kakashi? Why is he gone? Anywho… what's the dealio with the mirror…? Is there some sort of unknown presence in the house? You'll just have to find out later! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please review!
