Sakura smiled and blinked."oh so we are",she said softly and looked to him."a-are you sure it's okay foe me to stay here , i mean wouldn't it be to awkward, mean ....because of who i am",she said looking down sadly.She felt bad , to be moving in ,since she was Ray's sister. And with Ray only dieing a short time ago, her moving in felt wrong in a way.She then blinked looking to the house condused."she's....here ....",she saf softly.

Xing nodded, feeling it too. "She never left, apparently."

Rays spirrit then appeared behind them,"boo!"

Sakura jumped andnturned to Ray."hi......"

(I thought her older sister's name was Abby?)

"Hi." Xing said, pretty much immune to ghosts sneaking up on him and scaring him--even if he knew them in life. "We're home."

(Lol it is my bad)

Abby gave Xing a grin."about time ... what took you so long lover boy?"

Sakura blinked."lover boy?"

Once again, Xing turned redder than a stop sign. "Um....Ummmmmm....." He fiddled with his glasses nervously.

"I believe Miss Abby is saying that she knows about Master Xing's crush." Bason supplied.

Abby grinned. "You get I do ... so Xing ... you better treat her right!"

Sakura blinked."whos this she yourentalking about?"

Abby looked to her."y-you really dont know?", Abby said in shock.

"If I may be blunt...Miss Sakura, you're being just a tad dense." Bason said. He looked to Xing. "Perhaps you should elucidate, Master Xing?"

Xing's blush deepened. "I...I h-h-have n-no idea wh-what you're ta-talking about!" He stammered.

Sakura looked to Xing then blinked and blushed as well as she got what they were talking about.

Abby laughed."ah ha, now she gets it!"

"At last," Bason said, nodding.

"You two are jerks! Geez, I need new friends!" Xing ranted.

Abby laughed. "aww don't be like that",she said poking his cheek. "besides its good to see you like this,its quite fun",she said giggeling then blinked hearing the door open and saw Shiki come out.

Shiki gave Xing a look."where the heck have you been!Elliot and I have been looking-",he stopped seeing Sakura then his Face turned to shock seeing Abbys spirit."A....Abby?",he said softly.

Abby smiled."hey ...sorry it took me so long to get back here...."

Sakura had jumped when Shiki had started yelling at Xing then frowned sadly at Shiki when he was in shock about Abby being there.

"Well...uh, Murphy's Law intervened, I guess." Xing said. When Shiki went into shock at seeing Abby's ghost, he coughed to clear his throat. "Well, then...I'll go track down Elliot and let her know I'm back, let you two catch up, and show Sakura around." He edged around Shiki, an awkward smile on his face.

Sakura followed staying close to Xing."are you sure its okay for me to be here?",she asked quitely to Xing.

Xing nodded. "It'll be awkward as hell, but there shouldn't be too many problems...."

Sakura frowned."if it gets to akward ,i can leave ...",she said softly.

"Ah, don't worry about that!" Xing said, blushing (again) and waving his hands in front of him. "We'll work it out, no problem. Besides, I think the most you'll have to worry about is Abby deciding to wake you up at five in the goddamn morning...with a blowhorn...and an annoying-ass ringtone...and a bottle of ice water fresh out of the fridge and aimed at your privates...." He trailed off into a bout of grumbling.

Sakura blinked stareing at him and then slowly started laughing, her face lighting up.When she had finished rambeling she sighed. 'he sure is paranoid',she thought with a sideways smile then smirked suddenly."Xing you need to take a breather",she said and gave him a quick gentel kiss."now im exploreing!!",she said happily and went past him up the stairs.

Xing just stood there, staring, his face burning. "She kissed me...she actually kissed me." He said, bemused. He turned to Bason, who was floating next to him in spirit flame mode. "Was I hallucinating, or did she really just kiss me?"

Bason sighed. "Master Xing, there is much you need to learn about women." He said. "As to your question; no, you were not hallucinating."

Kohine stood beside them."wow,she does like you",he said looking to Xing.

Xing jumped when he heard the new voice. "GAH! Don't do that!" He blurted. "You nearly scared me to death!"

Kohine laughed."well i am dead so,it works",he then blinked hearing a thud upstairs."now what did she do?"

"Sounds like she tripped over something." Xing said, starting up the stairs, finally out of his (latest) stupor.

Kohine smiled watching him go.

Sakura had ended up in the attic and fell over a trunk .

Xing poked his head up into the attic, once he'd established that she was nowhere to be found on the second floor. "Sakura? You all right?"

Sakura slowly sat up."ow,uh i think so",she said looking to the photos and felt a frown come to her face looking at the pictures of her family.
