"Ah," Xing said, nodding. "Well, here we are. Looks like the ghosts are getting bored again......"

Abby watched and laughed as the ghost chaced away a bunch of kids."im gonna injoy it there",she said happily.

Shiki sighed."think thell be upset of us liveing there?"

"Nah, I doubt it." Xing replied. "If anything, I think they'll love it. Just..." He pushed up his glasses. "Well, just beware of the upstairs bathroom."

Abby looked to him nervously."whys that"

Shiki looked to him as well."whats so bad about it?"

"Uh..." Xing started, but a falling window pane answered for him, followed by a very old and pisssed-looking ghost of a lady sitcking her head out of the upstairs bathroom window.

"You hooligans! Quite ransacking my house! I may have died in 2009, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you get near this place!!!"

"Yeah...crazy old lady who happens to be dead." Xing said as the three of them dodged the falling window.

Abby looked up and recognized her as her ants old friend."Misses heaning,its me Abby!",she said looking up at her happily."i see youve moved into my ants house,its good to have at lest one spirit I know from this area"

Shiki looked up then to Xing."im surprised she wants to live here ...",he mutterd ad looked around.

Xing shrugged, staring open-mouthed at Abby. "You know this crazy old bat?!" He yelled, pointing at the ghost (whose name was Mrs. Heaning it appeared).

At that moment the mirror came flying out of the window, at Xing. "GAH!!" Xing yelled, jumping out of the way.

"Shut up you little brat! And Abby! It's so nice to see you again!" The old lady said kindly after yelling at Xing. "I couldn't stand seeing those brats constantly trying to break into your aunt's house, so I decided to start haunting the place so that it would be left alone."

"You were trying to stop people from breaking in?! More like terrorizing everyone!" Xing shouted in reply. This time a bar of soap came flying at him. "YEAUGH!"

"Master Xing, I would advise you to stop shouting." Bason said calmly.

Xing looked to him. "Why?" he asked.

"People are staring."

Abby smiled at her kindly then looked bahind them seeing the looks then looked to the window."mind having some of thease spiit friends of yours chace them away so we can come in and start cleaning the place up",she said and looked to Xing."be nice she and my nt were close",she said looking back up to her.

Shiki looked back at those who were stareing,but blinked seeing a boy watching them.He didnt like the feeling he got from him."...yes lets get inseide and you can yell in there all you want"

Xing muttered something about her being a crazy old lady no matter who she knew, and recieved a soap dish (presumably the one the flying soap had been in) collided with his head. "YEOWCH!!!"

Abby punched his arm."be nice",she said going in.

"All right," Xing grumbled as he followed Abby into the old house.

Abby smiled proudly and enterd looking around."wow ,it hasnt changed much",she said softly looking around at everything."its been a long time"

Shiki followed in after the two and looked around."it ... defenetly needs work thats for sure"

Kimiko smiled."smell nice,old,but nice,homey,i like it",she said and went exploreing.

Kojio alos looked around."are we sure it wont cave it?"

"I'm pretty sure it won't." Xing said. "At least it looks solid."

Bason sighed. "Master Xing, not everything is obvious to the eyes." He said.

Abby smiled setting her bags down then looked to Xing."so you said all the shaman here were meeting in the center of town?",she asked curiously

Shiki looked at Abby."dont you wnat to be setteled in fist?"

Xing nodded. "Yeah, they are." He replied. He checked his watch. "The announcement for the start of the tournament should be in about fifteen minutes."

Abby smiled."then mind if we follow you there?",she asked hopefully.

Shiki looked to him."yes since Abby has no ide what shes doing"

"Sure," Xing replied. "If you guys are ready to head out, then let's get going!"

Abby nodded egarly."alright!come on Kimiko!",she called out.

Kimiko came down with a smile."that old lady is wonderfull,vbery nice once you get to know her"

Shiki looked to Kojio."you ready?"

Kojio nodded."yes master Shiki..."

Xing muttered something about Kimiko being as crazy as the old lady and quickly led the way out of the house.

And running into the doorframe in the process. "Owwww......."

Kimiko gave a glare."thats what you get for being rude",she said floating out gracefully.

Abby lookedto him."Xing....you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Xing replied. "Damn, I really need to watch where I'm going."

Abby smiled."...it would be a good idea...."

"Master Xing is...I don't know how to say this without being insulting," Bason said. "Master Xing is a klutz."

Xing was rubbing his nose. "Yeah...what he said. Seems I always manage to find something to trip over. Or run into. Or drop. Or...well, let's just say that my coordination REALLY needs some work."

Abby smiled."practiceing for the tornamnet should help...."

Shiki nodded."right"

"Yeah," Xing replied. He picked up his halberd from beside the door and headed back outside, watching where he was going this time.
