A loud crack of thunder rang through the building sending a shiver up everyone's spines. They were playing the ouija board game and the air was thick with tension, especially Kaito's.

The male had again pulled Kokichi into his lap and was hugging him as if he was going to disappear. "Let's begin..." Tsumugi whispered in a creepy voice, as everyone placed a finger on the planchette.

Kokichi giggled, he had nothing to be afraid of being a ghost himself, even if he was starting to doubt that title. "Is there a ghost with us~?" He asked, knowing full well that he could manipulate the planchette without anybody knowing.

When they didn't get a response, Kokichi inwardly sighed and used his ghostly magic to move the block of wood to the 'yes' sign. Kaede gasped and pressed closer to Maki who was blushing furiously.

Angie asked the next question, "Atua wants to know if you are a demon or angel." The poltergeist thought for a moment, "B-O-T-H" Tsumugi said curiously, "What does that mean?"

"I-T M-E-A-N-S B-O-T-H"

Tsumugi sighed, "Not helpful..." Kaede asked the next question, "How did you die?" Kokichi thought up a quick lie, if he said shot by an old man he'd be found out.

"M-A-S-S M-U-R-D-E-R"

Kaede began to hyperventilate, "W-we are in a p-place where a m-ma-mass murder happened!?!" Maki rubbed her back and tried to calm her down, the best she could without showing that she cared.

"Wouldn't the resort have said something?" Shuichi asked puzzled, Kokichi smirked, "Not if they wanted customers, nobody wants to sleep in a place where mass murders happened~"

The detective began to catch on to Kokichi's plot, he could tell when the male would think about the answer. Of course Ouma didn't know that...

Keeping self composure, Shuichi began to manipulate the planchette himself to say whatever he wanted to, and it was all targeted on one person.

"O-U-M-A, Y-O-U H-A-V-E W-R-O-N-G-E-D T-H-I-S G-R-O-U-P. N-O-W Y-O-U W-I-L-L P-A-Y!"

Shuichi couldn't help but feel satisfied as a seed out doubt flickered in the boys gaze, exactly what he wanted.

Taking the smaller male's hesitation as an advantage, Shuichi began to move the planchette again. This time instead of letting the 'spirit' finish Ouma grabbed the planchette and threw it at the wall, it broke in half.

Kokichi gave Shuichi an accusing gaze and wiggles out of Kaito's grasp, then he walked away. It was as if the boy disappeared into thin air.

Shuichi knew he was responsible for the reaction and couldn't help but feel a bit guilty, yet he made no move to retrieve the poltergeist. Tsumugi was muttering something about that being uncalled for as Kaede helped pick up the mess.

The blunette was suddenly jolted out of his thoughts as someone tapped on his shoulder, it was Kaito. "Mind if I sit with ya?" The luminary asked receiving a nod from the other.

"Do ya know why Kokichi just got up and walked away? I found it kinda weird..."

Shuichi sighed, "I was teasing him with the ouija board game and what I was saying before he threw the planchette might've taken it too far..."

Kaito gave him a curious look, "And that was?"

"I planned to reveal his one of his secrets..."

"And that was?"

"I don't think he'd want me telling you..."

Kaito gave him a knowing look, "Is it about his crush on you?"

The blunette gasped, "How did you know about that!?" The astronaut let out a hearty chuckle, "You really didn't think me and Ouma actually sat down and had a decent conversation that time I carried him back to the group did you!?"

Shuichi pouted, "I knew something else was up!"

Kaito laughed, "Kinda figured, you're cute when you pout y'know that?" The detective blushed, "W-what?" The luminary gave him a teasing look before pulling him into his lap, "Sorry I needed a replacement~"

Shuichi blushed and covered his face warning a chuckle from Kaito, "I-I appreciate the fact that you want to show affection but shouldn't we find Ouma?" Shuichi asked, squirming a bit.

Kaito smiled, "Always one to think about others huh?" The astronaut relaxed his grip, "We should try to find that panta gremlin before he hurts himself."

Shuichi smiled and the two walked hand in hand to find Ouma.

Kokichi splashed some water on his face, god Shuichi could be such a jerk. The purplenette knew the moment that Saihara began to spell out his own name that it meant trouble. And goodness knows how much Ouma needs that.

He did admit the way he reacted was a bit much, he didn't need to chuck the planchette at the wall, and he knew Tsumugi would make him pay for it. Why Shuichi tried to tell them his secret the poltergeist didn't know.

Kokichi turned off the faucet and walked down the stairs to where he saw Shuichi and Kaito being all lovey-dovey. Instead of being jealous, all Kokichi could think about was how adorable the sight was. Shuichi and Kaito were holding hands and whispering silly things to each other, it was the cutest thing the purplenette had ever seen. He could hardly stop himself from fanboying.

So the poltergeist pulled out his phone and began recording the sight, 'Tsumugi would freak if I showed her this!' He thought mischievously, 'Y'know what maybe I will show her!'

Before he knew it Ouma had let a squeal escape his lips, alerting the pair of his presence. "O-Ouma!?" Shuichi stuttered, noticing his expression, "W-what are you doing?!"

Kokichi skipped over to them, "You guys are soooooo cute!!! No wonder Tsumugi shipped you!!" Kaito glared at him, "Whatcha talkin' about ya gremlin?!"

Ouma showed them the recording on his phone, leaving the two boy a blushing mess afterwards. "Why would you record that!?" Kaito yelled, blushing furiously.

"Like I said before Momo-Chan it was just too cute! I had to savor the moment, and bribe Tsumugi with the footage~"

Kaito growled and grabbed Kokichi by his scarf, "Delete the footage now!" Ouma laughed causing the astronaut to tighten his grip, now it was starting to choke him. The poltergeist's eyes went wide as he realized something, since when did he need to breathe?!

Shuichi ran up to Kaito and grabbed his arm, "Let him go!" The blunette pleaded, eventually the astronaut complied and Kokichi dropped to the floor. The ghost was wheezing and coughing, it struck Shuichi as odd. The detective was the only person who knew about the abilities of ghosts, and if he would recall Kokichi specifically said that ghosts didn't need to breathe.

The blunette was about to question him but the grape-loving male had skipped off into the living room calling Tsumugi's name. Catching on to what Kokichi was doing, Kaito raced after him yelling threats. Shuichi chuckled and followed the pair to the living room, where they were wrestling for Ouma's phone.

Shuichi smiled and sat down next to Amami who was holding back laughter, "When will those two ever get along?" The avocado haired male laughed with a huge grin on his face, "We'll never know..."
