Akaashi and Kageyama met up outside by the picnic tables.

"What do you know about girls?"

"Nothing."

Akaashi sighed. This was going to be more difficult than he thought. "I'll give you a few rules and you should try them out on your managers. Then, depending on how things go, I'll teach you other things as well."

"What other things?"

"You know, flirting and-"

Kageyama stumbled backwards. "No."

"Kageyama-kun, a time will come sooner or later when you will need to do this."

"No. I'll be fine if I learn how to talk to girls without making them cry."

"Starting off with high standards, aren't we?" Akaashi sighed. "Okay. Here's the first rule. Do not sneak up on them. You have to let them know that you're approaching them. If not, they'll get scared."

Bokuto and Kuroo walked a couple steps ahead of the girls, throwing their arms out in dramatic movements to show them the various trees and bushes.

"Wow," Emiko drawled, "I've never seen a bush before. Please, tell me more."

Akari snorted. "No way, Bushes are green? Who would have thought?"

"Stop it, they're trying their best," Mirae slapped them both upside the head. "Oh, Bokuto-san, what did you say about that tree?"

"It is very big. You can't tell from down here but two years ago, Kuroo got stuck trying to climb it and we had to get a ladder but he still fell."

"Loser," Emiko murmured.

He heard the comment she made under her breath. "Oh, Suzuki-chan, would you like to see how tall that tree is? I can lift you."

Emiko blinked and then moved to walk on the other side.

"I want to know more about the ghost!" Akari yelled. "Bokuto Senpai, tell us!"

"It's in this building," he motioned. As they started up the steps towards the science building, Bokuto and Kuroo turned around and placed a finger against their lips. "Be quiet, or it'll hear you."

Akari and Mirae slapped their hands over their mouths. Emiko screamed.

"Hello! We come in peace!"

"Suzuki-chan, what did we say?" Kuroo jumped down the steps and covered her mouth. "Do you want to get possessed?"

"Ooh, that'd be so cool!" Akari grinned. "Emiko, please take one for the team!"

"We should've brought Haru for that."

Bokuto held the door open as the four of them entered. The hallways were dark, the eerie red light from the exit sign down the hall glowed bright.

"How did you hear about the ghost?"

"When we were first years and we came to this training camp," Kuroo whispered, "we saw it."

"You saw it?" Akari gasped.

"I saw it."

"I call BS."

"With your own eyes?"

The boys nodded. "We saw it with our own eyes."

Mirae shivered. "Were you scared, Bokuto-san?"

"Scared? Me?" Bokuto opened the door to one of the classrooms and poked his head in. Then, he looked back at her, golden eyes glowing. "Of course."

Emiko threw her head back and groaned. "How are you two believing this?"

"How are you not, Suzuki-chan?"

She pushed past them and walked around the classroom. "I see they didn't clean the chalkboards properly."

"It was in this classroom that we first saw it." Bokuto pointed to the window. "Its face was right there."

Now, Kageyama had followed the five of them into Shinzen's science building and was trailing behind the group. He wanted to test out Akaashi's advice on Mirae, but the group was walking very fast. He saw them enter a classroom and slowly walked towards it.

He turned the knob to open the door and saw that Mirae, Emiko, and Fukurodani's manager were talking with Bokuto and Kuroo. Kageyama decided that this would not be a good time to interrupt them, so he closed the door and walked away.

"Ahhhh!"

"What the shit?!"

"No!" Mirae and Akari threw their arms around each other and cried.

Kuroo flinched and even Bokuto jumped back. Emiko was the only one to freeze.

"Okay, someone probably tried to come into the classroom but decided against it."

"You can't use logic to explain that, Suzuki-chan."

"Right," Bokuto glanced at Kuroo, "that was definitely the presence of the Shinzen ghost."

"Second, don't murmur or stutter or rush your words. Take your time before you approach them so you can say what you mean. Communication is important and it must be proper communication."

"I can try," Kageyama declared.

Akari pulled on the back of Bokuto's sweater. "Bokuto Senpai, what did the ghost look like?"

"Have you never seen a ghost movie?" Emiko rolled her eyes, "It has a white sheet over its head. Which means it's usually a human deciding to wear bed sheets and run around saying Whoo to prank everyone."

"Suzuki-chan, why does it sound like this is something you've done before?"

Emiko grinned. "Uncle Keishin hates ghosts and I love torturing him."

"This is literally why no one likes you," Mirae snapped. She walked closer to Bokuto and Akari as they trudged down the halls again. "But what did this ghost look like?"

Kuroo jogged up and began explaining in a deep voice. "It was an apparition of a boy, standing at about 6 feet tall. It was pale with messy black hair. Its eyes were a dark blue. And its face was emotionless, almost, exasperated."

"That sounds like Akaashi."

Bokuto and Kuroo gasped.

"How rude, Suzuki-chan!"

"Akaashi doesn't look like a ghost Su-chan, he looks like a flower child!"

"Yeah Akaashi is really handsome, bro."

"Right? He never believes me when I tell him."

Emiko stopped walking and frowned. "How come I never get complimented like this?"

Kuroo turned around and held his arms open. "I think you are beautiful, Suzuki-chan."

Emiko waved him off. "I don't want your compliment."

"This is why she doesn't have friends," Mirae whispered to Akari.

Suddenly, Bokuto held his arms out and stopped them from going further. A bead of sweat dropped down his forehead.

"What's the hold up?" Emiko asked as she peered around his shoulder.

Standing just down the hall, underneath the red exit sign, was the dark figure of a boy.

"Oh hell no!" Akari shrieked.

"What do you want from us?" Mirae cried into Bokuto's shoulder. "Please!"

"Ghaaaa," it croaked out. "Ughhhh."

"Suzuki-chan, don't go near it," Kuroo screamed. He grabbed onto Emiko's waist and threw her behind him. "I shall protect you!"

"I am literally the calmest one here you dimwit! Also, Kenma said I am the Warrior Princess on the way to becoming the Warrior Queen. I don't need protection!"

The shadow figure took a step forward. Bokuto grabbed Mirae and Akari's arms and they ran back.

"Should we run too?" Kuroo asked.

"No," Emiko snarled. "I want to know who this is and what they want."

"It's a ghost." When he saw that she didn't move, Kuroo grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder. He began to sprint down the hall after the other three, Emiko shrieked the entire time.

"Third," Akaashi counted on his hand, "You always have to use facial expressions. That way, you show that you care about what they have to say, and that you want to talk to them. If you use a stoic face, then they'll think you don't care for them."

Kageyama's frown deepened. "Hinata says my smile is terrifying. How can I use expressions without scaring girls even more?"

"You nod your head. You turn your body towards them. You can add small comments and say 'yes' or 'right'."

"Are we safe?" Akari stuttered. "Whoa, that was terrifying."

"I know, right? It's just like this T.V. drama I saw last week. It started just like this with a group of friends going into a haunted abandoned school and there was a ghost of a murdered classmate. Apparently it wanted revenge against his killer."

Emiko kicked Kuroo's shins as soon as he put her down. He groaned in pain.

"I'm telling you it's probably a student."

"How come you're not scared, Emiko? This is terrifying."

She shrugged. "I deal with a real-life demon everyday. I call her mother and she tried to talk to me countless times so I've become desensitized to the paranormal. But also, there is definitely a logical answer to this."

"It's a ghost," Bokuto said, "it really is."

"I wonder what it wanted."

"Probably telling us to go to bed," Emiko yawned. "It's nearly midnight."

"Devil's hour!" Mirae shrieked. Akari froze.

"No you idiots that's 3 am."

"So we should stay out for a few hours longer," Kuroo offered. "Maybe the ghost will initiate more contact. Hey, Suzuki-chan since you're desensitized and whatever, would you mind if we used your body as a host?"

"No way," Mirae shook her head, "she's the smallest one here. It'll probably break her body. Hasn't anyone seen the exorcist?"

"Oh! I have," Bokuto said, "she's right, Kuroo. We need a stronger body for the séance."

"The what?" Akari screamed. "No, no way, I did not sign up for a séance."

"That'd be cool," Mirae wondered out loud, "wouldn't we need like candles and stuff?"

"We are not having a séance," Emiko glared. "I did not volunteer for this."

At that moment, Akari screamed. She jumped behind Kuroo and pointed a shaking finger down the hall where the black figure was gliding towards them.

"Oh hell no," Emiko snarled. In this lighting, she could see its disturbing face, almost as if it had been smushed together. The boys were distracted trying to keep Akari and Mirae from fainting, so she sprinted towards it.

Their bodies landed on the ground with a hard smack.

"Suzuki-chan!"

"It took Su-chan!"

She grabbed it by the collar of his shirt and then froze. "Tobio?"
