Blair Miriel's Mansion - A BnHA Ghost Hunting AU

Chapter 9 - Spirits

      The group of boys looked from one person to the other. On one hand, they've never chickened out of a house before. On the other, they've never been in one that had something already "living" in it. (Aside from the occasional bugs and rodents.) Shouto was still trying to come up with reason after reason for the events that occurred, so he wasn't really any help. After about 5 minutes of complete silence, Izuku stood up.

      "Where are you going THIS time?!" Katsuki yelled.

      "I wanna have another look around," The greenette responded before heading for the stairs.

      "After what that ghost lady just said?! Are. You. NUTS?!" Denki yelled while getting up and grabbing his friend by the wrist.

      Izuku looked back at the lightning head. "Oh, come on! We just talked to an actual spirit! I've gotta have another look around! Where's your sense of adventure?"

      "Excuse me, but where's your sense of self preservation?!" He then dragged the broccoli head back to where everyone was sitting.

      "I have to agree with Denki on this one," Eijirou chimed in as he helped sit Izuku down. "These are actual ghosts. It's too dangerous to walk around on your own."

      "But-" The greenette tried to reply, but Katsuki interrupted him.

      "Look, ya proved there's something else in the room with us," He told him. "Isn't that enough?"

      "No, because there isn't anything else here!" Shouto shouted as if he was trying to convince himself.

      "Dude, what's it gonna take for you to admit there's a ghost?" Eijirou asked, more concerned than anything.

      "Not until I see one for myself with my own eyes."

      Izuku tried to get up again, but the redhead and lightning head held his shoulders down. "Hey, Shouto just said he wanted more proof," the greenette complained.

      "It's not worth it if it costs us our lives!" Denki replied shivering in fear.

      The freckled boy sighed. "Yeah... You're right. Do... Do you guys want to leave or are we staying?"

      They looked at eachother once again, none of them sure what to do.

      "Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?" Katsuki questioned while taking off his hoodie.

      "I feel fine," Izuku replied while pointing his camera at the angry boy.

      "Me too," Denki added. Eijirou and Shouto just nodded.

      "Ow!" Katsuki placed his hand on his back. He looked in deep pain. "I feel this burning sensation right here!"

      Everyone looked worried at each other before Eijirou ran over to his friend, and helped pull his tank top off. The redhead let out a small gasp.

      "What? What's wrong?" The angry blond questioned with a hint of worry in his voice.

      "Dude..." Eijirou responded with a shaky voice. "There's a mark there."

      "WHAT?!"

      "Kacchan, turn around," Izuku told his childhood friend. While under normal circumstances, Katsuki would rather die than take orders from "Deku", he was too stressed to argue at the moment and compiled, revealing a red burn mark on his back to his friends and the camera.
