Chapter 3: The Figure

The first Black Market Auction for The Tres of Spades Las Vegas was a major hit and every item was selling like hot cakes. You wore a wine red dress with your hair up in a bun and a simple diamond necklace. As you watched the Mad Hatter begin to sell a very expensive ring, a sigh escaped your lips.
“What’s wrong ___________?” Baba whispered, obviously concerned.
“I-it’s nothing.” you reply.
“I don’t know kid,” Mamorou butted in “when you sigh like that, it means something’s up.”
“Well….” you draw out. Seeing there was no point, you told the guys about your experiences in the new house. The cellphone moving, the music turning off, the presence behind you, someone blowing on your neck, the sudden cold air.

“So you’re saying you’ve been having experiences with a ghost?” Baba asked.
“Tch,” Eisuke tsked “there’s no such thing as ghosts.”
“I don’t know….” Ota said unsure “I once had to stay in a manor for an art deal and I watched the ghost of the original owner walk through the walls of my room.”
“I once thought I saw my grandfather.” Soryu surprisingly said.
“Soryu, you believe in ghosts?” you ask.
“Well, I’ve had an experience, so yes I do.”
“You’re literally one of the last people I would expect to believe in ghosts.” Baba replied.

“You’re all talking nonsense.” Eisuke flat out said “You were all either drunk or tired with sleep.”
“Eisuke,” Soryu explained “just because you’ve never seen a ghost, doesn’t mean you should think it’s nonesence.”
“Our final item up for sale today!” the Mad Hatter called out “This expert Ghost Hunting Kit! With the best supplies found! EVP recorder, thermal imager, ghost box, smudging sticks, this kit has everything you need to check for paranormal activity!”
“The hell?” Eisuke asked “I don’t remember that being made the final item!”

“Yeah it was a last minute decision.” Baba shrugged.
“Damnit!” Eisuke whispered harshly “Why wasn’t I made aware?”
“You were busy!” Ota pouted “And besides, it was a slow week for Baba!” Baba nodded in agreement “Hey _________________, if you’re experiencing some paranormal activity maybe this kit will help you!”
“I don’t know,” you admit to Ota “if it will help, I guess I could go for it.”
“Now!” The Mad Hatter called out loud “We’re starting the bid at 11,399 yen ($100) the bids began slowly and there wasn’t much interest in the kit but then on a wild impusle, you bidded 39,895 yen ($350 dollars) on the kit.
“Sold!” The Mad Hatter called out “To number 3,599.”
“Hey, you got it!” Baba smiled at you.
“Still a waste of money.” Eisuke muttered “But, if it makes my woman happy then so be it.”

______________________________________________________________

You and Eisuke arrived back home ten minutes after the auction with the ghost kit and a camera for some odd reason Eisuke bought (you already had an idea what he planned).
“Eisuke,” you said “I’m going to take a bath, work was a bit of a killer on me today.”
“Very well then.” Eisuke replied, beginning to flip through the channels on the TV. You went upstairs into your put the Ghost Hunter kit down and then made your way to the first floor bathroom.

________________________________________________________

The bathroom was large and heavily luxurious. A large pit in the center of the bathroom that was the bathtub, seats inside the tub, luxurious massaging jets and a digital tablet with options for a bubble bath as well as a ceiling shower head. You take the digital tablet and begin to set the bath up to the correct temperature, adding a bathbomb and some bubble bath soap and waited for the water to fill up. Once going to the correct height, you strip down and gently make your way into the tub. You sit down on the built in bench provided by the tub and felt every muscle in your body relax to the hot water. You turned on the music that played the sounds of ocean waves and lowered the light levels a slight bit. You began to close your eyes and allow the water and music to take you away from the stress you recieved earlier that day.

But as you relaxed, you felt a chill go down your spine. Goosebumps formed all over your skin despite being in the hot waters; but to fix it, you chose to take a deep breath and go under the water to re-warm your body. When you pop back up for fresh air, you let out the held breath and notice you can see your breath, when you look up you noticed a dark figure sitting in the bathtub across from you, slowly getting up and making it’s way to you. You were glued to your seat, paralyzed by fear. You tried to scream but couldn’t find your voice. Just when he was mere inches from you, you felt adrenaline rush into your veins and found your voice. You scream an ear-piercing scream and scatter out of the tub like a cat that lost it’s footing.

You run out of the bathroom, not caring your current clothes situation but soon ran into a wall, only to realize it wasn’t a wall but a concerned Eisuke.
“______________!” he said “__________________, calm down! It’s me!” you catch your breath and he clutched your shoulders “What’s wrong?”
“There was something in the bathroom!” you frantically stated “I-I-It got into the tub with me and started getting closer to me! It was some kind of figure!” pailing in anger, Eisuke made his way to the old desk in the living room and pulled a gun out of the draw. Eisuke sat you down on the couch and took the safety off the gun, making his way into the bathroom.

__________________________________________________________

He slowly crept into the bathroom looking around for the figure that scared you. He made his way to the towel closet and opened it quickly and pointed his gun. Only to see no one there.  Realizing whatever it was was gone, Eisuke grabbed a large, fluffy towel, drained the bathtub and went to the living room where you still sat shaken up.
“There was no one there.” Eisuke sighed a little agitatedly while placing the towel on you “I checked everywhere and no one was there.”
“Eisuke, I swear!” you tell him “There was someone there!”
“Well whatever it was it’s gone.” a moment of silence passed before Eisuke spoke up again “____________, are you making up excuses just because you don’t like the house?” you look at Eisuke in shock he would accuse you of such a thing.

“I love the house Eisuke!” you tell him honestly “It’s beautiful! But I told you their’s something off with it!”
“Yeah.” he muttered “I didn’t spend enough.”
“No! It’s not that! I wouldn’t have care if you even got us the crappiest cottage in town! There’s something in this house Eisuke! Something not of the ordinary!”
“I told you already _________________. There is no such thing as ghosts! They don’t exist!” getting annoyed and upset that he wouldn’t believe you, you clutch the towel tighter to your body and get up.
“I’m going to bed Eisuke; I got work in the morning. Good night.” you leave the room and make your way to your closet where you change into simple pajamas and tuck yourself into bed, unable to sleep right away. Remember that uneasy feeling you got when you first entered the house? You knew what it was now.

Author’s note: Here’s Chapter 2! This is where things get freaky.

Chapter 2: The Beginning

A few days had passed after you and Eisuke moved into the house. You and Eisuke were in your new home in-cinema, watching a few crappy comedies while wearing your pajamas.
“You seriously like this stuff?” Eisuke huffed.
“Yeah.” You chuckle “Sometimes its good to watch a few things that only get one star.” Just then, the actor did something that was out of this world.
“Is that logically possible?”
“I guess so.” You laugh. Just then, Eisuke’s phone rang.

“Ichiyomina.” Eisuke said into his phone “Are you serious? Can’t you do it yourself?!” You look at Eisuke with curious eyes “Fine.” he grumbles into the phone before hanging up “Got to be kidding me.”
“What’s wrong?” you ask him with worry in your eyes.
“Nothing to worry about.” he sighs “I just got to head in. They’re some fine details for The Grand Opening that they are too stupid to fill out; I have to head in and help out.”
“I’ll go with you!” You tell him while getting up to change your clothes.

“No _____________,” Eisuke says to you “It’s your time off. I know we were going to spend the day together, but I’ll be back tonight. Promise.” He gives you a quick passionate kiss and heads up stairs to change his clothes. You make the decision to do the same despite planning to stay in for the rest of the day.
“See you around dinner?” Eisuke asks you.
“Yeah.” You smile. He gives you another loving kiss.
“I can’t wait to eat your meals tonight and dessert.” and he gives you an all knowing wink before leaving in his limo to go to The New Tre’s of Spades.

The moment he leaves the house, you look around the house to find stuff to do. You did just get a new video game (that Eisuke doesn’t approve of because of it’s violence) that you’ve been dying to play. But before you play it, you make the decision to check the refrigerator for anything you can cook for you and Eisuke tonight. You place your cellphone on the counter and look at the inside of your fridge. So far, various meats, dango from home, instant ramen (wait, shouldn’t that be in the pantry?), various vegetables, a pitcher of water, sodas of different kinds, dairy products and some sweets. Maybe you should go out shopping and get some Cornish game hen will fill both your appetites tonight? Yeah, that sounds perfect! You close the fridge door and soon notice your cellphone missing. That’s odd, where could it have gone? Soon, your eyesight falls to the ground and there, you find your cellphone lying on the ground; fortunately it had it’s protective cover on, leaving it with no dent. Must of fell when I was looking for something to cook. You reason yourself. You grab your phone, your bag and leave for the local food market.

Thirty minutes after shopping, you arrive back home with groceries in tow. You place the Cornish game hens in the sink and begin to thaw them out of there frozen like state. While that occurred, you walked into The Living Room and began to play some music. You return to the kitchen and begin to boil some of the spaghetti you bought. You walk over to the fridge and grabbed some cold spices to spice the game hens with and some vegetables for you to cut up. You begin to take out the vegetables and cut them finely diced pieces. You hum to the tune of the song that’s playing, and it happens to be your favorite. Just when the best part of your song is going to happen, the music stops. You look up in surprise; did Eisuke come home earlier than anticipated? You check your phone and find no calls from him; what caused the music to stop?

You leave the kitchen and go into The Living Room, finding the Bluetooth machine playing the music off your phone turned off. You shrug it off thinking it was a power-surge, and turn the machine back on. You head back to the kitchen and continue to cook your dinner. You take the now thawed hens and begin to rub spices in it. When done, you turn the oven on and wait for it to heat up while you prepare the homemade gravy. While mixing the juicy spicy liquid, you hear the music turn off again. You let out a huff because Eisuke payed a lot of money for something like this. If this thing is broken, he’s going to be pissed. You look at the machine again and find that someone had turned it off.

Just when you were about to turn it back on; you feel something…or someone watching you. Your standing in your crouched position and your frozen with fear. How and when did someone get in the house, Eisuke made sure this house had top Grade-A security? No one can get in or out unless it’s the servants or owners; when it’s night, the only one who can get in is the owners. You feel your heart beating at an alarming rate. Just then, it ended. You breathe a sigh of relief before suddenly feel someone blow on your neck, you literally jump out of your skin and turn around when feeling that.What was all of that just now? Your phone rings snapping you out of your scared daze and you rush to answer it.

“H-hello?” you croak into the phone.
“________________?” Eisuke’s voice rings into the phone.
“Oh h-hi Eisuke.” you smile a smile of relief just hearing his voice.
“I’m going to be home in an hour. I figured you should know so you can get dinner started.”
“Way ahead of you. I got dinner in the oven already.”
“Good Girl. See you soon.”
“O-okay.” There was a moment of silence.
“Something bothering you?”
“Huh? Oh no, I got spooked by something. It’s nothing really, I’ll explain when you get home.” Another moment of silence occoured and then you hear Eisuke’s voice.
“Alright,” he responds “see you at dinner then.” with that said, he hung up. You let out a deep sigh and go upstairs to change out of your clothes into something more…..appealing to the eye.

___________________________________________________

Eisuke arrived an hour after you got off the phone and ten minutes before he walked through the door, you took the dinner table in your dining room and set it up for a romantic dinner together. Long red candles that were lit in the center, the two Cornish Game Hens on a platter along with mixed vegetables (no green  peas), two glasses of fine wine and a beautiful vegetable soup on the side. You were wearing your favorite black dress and had your hair slightly curled at the ends to add a fineness to them.
“It smells amazing in here ____________,” Eisuke said while removing his jacket and making his way to the table.
“I worked on it most of the day.” you smile. He dips his spoon into the soup and takes a taste.

“I knew that gourmet kitchen was a great investment for you.” Eisuke smiled before taking a bite of his game hen.
“Yeah,” you smile weakly “it really does help a lot.” EIsuke looked at you concerned.
“What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”
“Well…..” You began to tell Eisuke how some weird stuff occurred today. From your phone mysteriously falling onto the floor, to when someone blew on your neck “I think my mind was playing tricks on me. Probably it’s because the house has a draft or two. I’m not sure.”
“You don’t think the house is haunted do you?” Eisuke suddenly asks.
“Wha? No!”
“Good, because ghosts don’t exist, they’re stupid stories told by kids to get you scared.” he said after taking a sip of his wine. You look down at your meal and continued to eat, you were unsure about what had happened today.

______________________________________________

Both you and Eisuke continue your meal in silence. Eventually, your meal ends with the two of your in your pajamas, watching a movie in bed.
“How did it go with the set up for the Grand Opening?” you ask Eisuke.
“To be honest _____________,” he sighs “it’s going well but when I tell someone to do something, I expect them to do it! I mean, the theme colors for this hotel are gold and blue! What’s harder then that?!”
“Well, sometimes people make mistakes. Can’t be helped. That’s what makes us human.”
“You’re such an idiot some times, that’s why I love you I guess.” he was about to lean in to kiss you when he noticed you rubbing your arms “___________?”

“E-Eisuke,” You ask “is the AC on?” he looks at you confused.
“Not that I’m aware of.” he replies “Why? You cold?”
“A little, can you please check the thermostat?” Eisuke sighed and got up from the bed to check the thermostat.
“You must be going nuts, the temperature in here’s normal.”
“W-what? How is that possible?! It feels like it went down 30 degrees.”
“I don’t know, I can call a repair man tomorrow in case this happens again.”  Unsure of what to say, you nod and decide to watch the rest of the movie before finally falling asleep.

Author’s note: I just found this on my computer. A KBTBB series I never got around to posting or finishing. I decided to post it and I’m going to post new chapters whenever I can. Enjoy!

The Haunting
Chapter 1: Tre’s of Spades Las Vegas

You look out the company jet window as it flies over The Pacific Ocean. Excitement fills your blood as this occurs; today, The Tre’s of Spades was going to America in the American hometown of Gambling; Las Vegas. You could hardly believe that about two months ago, Eisuke, your multi-billionaire tycoon boyfriend called you up to the penthouse for something. He didn’t specify but you had to leave work early in order to see him. When you entered the penthouse, Eisuke immediately blindfolded you and gave you a dart.

“Throw the dart on the map and we’ll build our new Hotel there.” he whispered into your ear.
“Like I did with Dubai?” you whisper to him.
“Like with Dubai.”  you took a deep breath and with your strongest arm, threw the dart on the map. You heard the dart hit the wall and you remove the blindfold. On the map, the dart hit  Las Vegas, Nevada. Eisuke smiled when he spotted this.
“Were going to America!” You happily whispered before hugging your sweetheart.

Now here you are, on the company jet heading to Nevada.
“Excited ____________?” Chisato, your best friend asked you.
“Yeah, I am.” You smile back. Not only that, Eisuke said he got you and him a very big surprise after you take a tour of the new Tre’s of Spades Las Vegas.
“Oh, so you think you’re gonna be the queen of this place like you are with the other two?” a snarky nasty voice asks you; crap. It’s Erika. What the hell was she doing here?
“What’re you doing here Erika?” You ask “I thought you were going to stay in London and train our replacements.”

“I was.” she shrugged “But I decided to go to Vegas. They’re going to need to train the new employees with many seniors as soon as possible.” You rolled your eyes. She was just looking for a reason to bully you all the way in Vegas. Well, at least the Wendy’s won’t be there- Ok scratch that they were. They would follow Erika anywhere like a lost puppy. Just ignore them you tell yourself You’ll arrive in Las Vegas soon and be reunited with Eisuke. You haven’t seen Eisuke since yesterday, he took his private jet to America so him and the guys could help set up the new hotel. Opening day was this coming weekend so thankfully when you arrive, you’ll get a tour of the hotel and the rest of the week off until Friday.

____________________________________________________

The plane finally lands in the Las Vegas Air Port and you couldn’t be happier. Jet lag had really set in and you need to find a cure and fast.  A bus with the Tre’s of Spades’ logo was stamped on the bus and waiting outside for you and your co-workers. You sit next to Chisato and look out the window. You’re amazed by the desert and how it beautiful it could be at points. The bus finally arrived at the hotel, you were one of the first to exit the vehicle and your jaw drops; it’s a beautiful 100 story hotel. The entire hotel was decorated to look like something from a Fairy Tale. Knowing Eisuke, Ota was probably was behind all this.

You enter the Fairy Tale like hotel and can’t believe what you see; it was beautiful. The main entrance was like a grand staircase. With red carpet, two separate ways to hotel rooms, left and right Wings, a grand fountain in the center, polished marble floor, it was incredible.
“___________?” a familiar voice calls out to you. You look behind yourself and find Soryu on his way over.
“Soryu!” You say happily.
“Glad you made it. Eisuke had been getting cranky without you by his side.”
“You liking the new hotel?” asked another voice.  Soon, a blonde young man walked over right next to Soryu.
“Ota!” You happily scream.
“I was inspired by Beauty and the Beast when I was designing this place. That reminds me, boss asked to have us come up with code names for the You-Know-What.” The Black Market Auction that runs in the basements of the Tre’s of Spades Hotels. That’s how you met the guys; or at least got to know them. If it wasn’t for that auction on that faithful day, you wouldn’t have met or fell in love with Eisuke.

“Yeesh Ota. You’re going to bore her to death.” Mamarou said.
“Mamarou!” You happily scream.
“We can solve the code names later,” another voice which belonged to Baba said “we got more important things to do, _____________, Eisuke is waiting for you in his limo outside. He has something big to show you.” You nod to their response and leave with them to the limo waiting outside for you.
“You guys going to come over for dinner sometime to celebrate?” you ask them kindly.

“Yeah, Mamrou said your cooking is pretty good.” Baba smiled. Apparently, the guys learned about Eisuke’s weakness for your cooking. The limo was of normal size but black with a white stripe on it. Eisuke was waiting outside the limousine with a smug smile on his face.
“You’re late.” he tells you “You’re going to have to face punishment for being away from me this long.”
“P-punishment?!” you squeak. he pulls you close to him and passionately kisses you “Mmh… Eisuke…”
“Come on.” he says as he pulls way “I can’t wait any longer to show you this.” he pulls you into the limo and you two are soon leaving the new hotel. The many buildings pass by you as if it was nothing and soon, you and him were driving in the desert and arrive in an Oasis like neighborhood. Each house on this block alone must cost an amount of money only people like Eisuke could afford.

“Is this going to be our new neighborhood?” you ask him.
“Tch.” Eisuke smirks “Sometimes I wonder about you. Yes, we will be living around this neighborhood. In fact, while I was researching this neighborhood, the guys made the decision to buy homes in this area.
"You’re serious”
“When am I ever kidding?” Soon, the limo stops and Eisuke guides you out of the limo.
“___________,” he says to you “welcome to our new home!” You look up and your jaw almost drops.

It was a beautiful modern meets Roman home. The arch leading into the manner was Roman style, the gardens was beautifully colored with many different flowers, an oasis like fountain was displayed in the middle of the front yard and the home was three stories, probably would add a fourth floor if the architectures added an extra floor. But there was something about the house you couldn’t shake away; a feeling. An odd feeling. It was an unknown feeling that just made you wish to run from this place like no tomorrow. You were so caught up in thinking about that feeling, Eisuke began to notice.
“Something wrong ___________?” Eisuke asks you. You snap out of your small trance for a moment and look at Eisuke.
“No,” you hide “i-it’s nothing.”
“__________, you don’t have to hide anything from me, you know that.” he suddenly began to kiss you.
“Alright I’ll tell. But to be honest, it’s pretty stupid. I just have a feeling about this house. I don’t know if it’s a good feeling though, I feel like there’s something wrong with it, like an extra sense or a weight is in the atmosphere.” Eisuke looks at you surprised.

“Do you hate it because it’s not big enough?” Eisuke asks you.
“N-no!” you tell him “I love the house! It’s beautiful and I’m so grateful you got this for us. I just feel like theirs some kind of weight in the atmosphere. I think I’m just imagining things. I guess it could also be the jet lag.” Eisuke stared at you and nodded at your answer to this uncomfortable feeling.
“Well, I’ll give you a tour of the house and we can Christian the new bedroom.” he gives you an devilish smirk as if you didn’t already know.

_____________________________________________

The tour lasted through the rest of the day until the evening arrived. The house was even more beautiful on the inside! A high tech kitchen (only for the best for his gourmet chef), a home-in cinema, a wine cellar in the basement, a luxury bedroom and bathroom this house had it all! But still, that feeling just wouldn’t leave you. No matter how much you try to shake it off through the day, it just wouldn’t leave you alone.
“Still got that terrible feeling?” Eisuke asks you.
“A little I hate to say.” you admit a bit shyly “But I think once being here long enough it will shake off.”
“I know a way to shake that feeling off.” Eisuke smirks at you. He gives you a passionate and loving kiss which you melt into immediately.

“Mmmhm.” you hum into the kiss. Suddenly, you feel your feet being lifted off the ground and Eisuke is carrying you up the stairs to your bedroom.
“E-Eisuke!” you squeak “Don’t you want to have dinner first?”
“I’m taking my meal to go.” he purrs into your ear; your cheeks turn a rosy red and you both soon arrive to your new bedroom where you both have a romantic evening together in your new home.
