Blair Miriel's Mansion - A BnHA Ghost Hunting AU

Chapter 6 - Exploring

      Izuku really didn't understand his friends' concerns. He went off on his own all the time, even when they had a bigger group.

      "Izuku! Wait!" A voice called from behind. The greenette turned around and saw Shouto running towards him. As soon as he caught up he told him, "This place is too dangerous to wander around on your own."

      "I thought you didn't believe in ghosts," Izuku tried to tease, but realized that his friend was being serious.

      "I don't, and that's not what I meant. This place is falling apart. If you got hit in the head by something and we weren't there to help you... Who even knows how long it would take us to figure out something was even wrong."

      The greenette felt a little guilty about it now. The candy-cane was right, there were so many things they had to worry about that going alone now seemed stupid. He apologized and let his friend come with him as he recorded.

      "Wow," Izuku said breaking the silence a few minutes later. "This place is REALLY big! I mean, it already looked large on the outside, but inside is just incredible!"

      "Too bad it all fell to ruin long ago," Shouto responded seeming to be saddened by the state of the mansion now. Because he didn't believe in ghosts, he felt like everyone just up and abandoned this place due to false rumors and superstition, which was a real shame in his mind. This place would have been amazing if people would just realize there was nothing to be afraid of.

      BANG

      A loud sound emanated from above the two.

      "What was that?!" the freckled boy exclaimed.

      "Most likely something gave way and fell. Or worse, Katsuki is playing another prank on us."

      "Makes sense," The greenette shrugged it off. The two continued walking.

~***~

      "Stop. Pushing. The. POINTER!" Eijirou exclaimed again while clapping, causing Katsuki to laugh again. The three decided to play another round while waiting for Izuku and Shouto to get back. Of course, Mr. Boom-boom boy over here doesn't know when to stop messing with everyone.

      "Seriously, dude!" Denki joined in. "You scared me half to death!"

      "Quit your b*tch*ng," Katsuki smirked. "I don't know why you guys even let me play when you know I'm gonna do it."

      "Maybe because, somewhere deep down, we know you're a good person," Eijirou said very sarcastically.

      "Very deep. Like Mariana Trench deep," Denki laughed.

      Katsuki was about to reply when-

      BANG

      A loud sound came from above.

      "What w-was that...?" Lightning head asked.

      "Probably something fell," The angry blonde replied. He then looked at his friends with a smirk. "Wanna go check it out?"

      Eijirou nodded excitedly, while Denki shook his head in fear.

      "Ok then, Sh*tt* Hair and I will go look for where the bang came from. And Pikachu will stay here and hold down the fort." Katsuki got up and dusted off his pants, and the redhead soon followed.

      "Wait, you're just gonna leave me here?!" Denki exclaimed in fear.

      "You're welcome to join, if you want," Eijirou said with a smile.

      The lightning head looked around himself, then got up and followed the other two.

~***~

      Izuku and Shouto walked into an old bedroom. The bed was completely devoid of sheets or blankets, most likely due to robbers. There was an old broken mirror in the corner that was pretty hard to look through with all the dirt covering it and the missing pieces. The greenette pointed the camera at said mirror.

      "I wonder if this is the mirror from the story," He said while zooming the camera to get better details. "According to the internet, one time, a girl punch her own reflection claiming there was a demon inside herself. She then picked up a piece of glass and slit her own throat. Pretty gruesome, to be honest..."

      "Honestly, I think she was just paranoid," Shouto replied while Izuku zoomed out of the mirror.

      "That could be a possibli- What the H*LL?!" The green-head took a step back, almost bumping into his friend behind him.

      "What? What's wrong?" The candy-cane hair responded a little worried.

      Izuku was looking at the display on the camera. "I thought I saw something... A face appeared on the in the mirror on the camera..."

      "It was most likely our reflections."

      "No, this looked like a girl!"

      "Then it was most likely your reflection."

      Izuku looked back at Shouto with an angered pout. "Very funny..."

      "We can always review the footage later."

      The greenette rolled his eyes but agreed. The two decided to leave the room and move on. There were other suicide and potential ghost spots he wanted to explore anyway.

~***~

      Eijirou was filming everything he could with his phone as the three walked up a stairwell.

      "Where are we even going?" Denki questioned.

      "The sound came from above us, but we were in the foyer. So, it must have come from the attic," Katsuki explained.

      "You mean w-we're going to the attic?! Where it's covered in dust and cobwebs and bugs?!" The lightning head responded in disgust.

      "Yep." The angry blonde just smirked. His smirk quickly disappeared when he let out a sound of pain as he fell forward onto the steps.

      "OH MY GOD! A GHOST PUSHED HIM!" Denki exclaimed in horror.

      Eijirou pointed the camera at the scared blonde. "Why would a ghost push someone forward if we're going up? Wouldn't it make more sense to push him back?"

      "Beside's no one pushed me," Katsuki responded while getting back up and rubbing the dirt from his hands on his pants. "I hit my foot on the stairs and lost my balance, that's all."

      He said it in a way that made it seem like he was trying to calm Denki down, instead of making him feel stupid. It worked though.

      The lightning head let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, ok. Yeah, that makes sense..."

      Eijirou moved his phone to the spot where his friend tripped. The steps were bending and bowing in odd ways due to neglect and damage, it's no wonder why someone would trip over it.

      "All in all, let's try to watch where we're going more carefully," The redhead told them after moving the phone to record his friends' reactions.

      The other two just nodded and took out their own phones to turn on the flashlight.

      BANG

      Another sound came from above.

~***~

And so it begins...

Let me know what you think, and I'll see you in the next one.
