Lunamugetsu: I do not own Toriko. I wanted to make something fitting for the Halloween season since I'm writing this in October This is a Buzzfeed Unsolved Au with Kimiko and Zebra. Do be prepared for Zebra's colorful language, because I'm pretty sure he has no problem with cursing.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
A camera was rolling as it was filming two people that were sitting in front of a desk strown with papers and files and a lightbulb hanging from the ceiling, making it look like some kind of private investigator's office that came straight from a movie. The two people sitting at the desk consisted of a short woman that had her hair tied up while the man sitting next to her could have easily been two feet taller than her was sitting and had a scar on his face that made it look like his mouth was split open into his cheek area.
"Hi, I'm Kimiko and this is Zebra, we're going to be talking about the mysterious case of the Hollow Hills Manor to help us with our oncoming investigation: Are ghosts real?"
The camera focused on Zebra who was giving a frown as he scoffed at the notion
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"So this is it, Hollow Hills Manor. There has always been at least one death happening at this place whenever a new family moves in."
"This place looks like shit."
"Don't say that! What if the ghosts hear you?"
"The ghosts are freaking cocky if they believe that they can hurt me for speaking the truth."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"To be fair, nobody has lived in that house for a good 20-30 years. The guy who owns the property even says that he wouldn't even consider staying overnight."
"Coward."
"Zebra, be nice! He's letting us film and stay the night."
"Yeah, and we're going to sleep on a floor that hasn't been cleaned for at least 20 years. Freaking cocky asshole."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"This is the room where the first tenant died."
"When did they die?"
"Uh, it was during the 1850's. The guy was known to be very energetic and outgoing, but one day his family checked on him and found him dead."
"The dude probably got cocky and got pneumonia. This was the 1850's the shithead probably didn't even bathe every day."
"Zebra! What if his ghost hears you?"
"What the fuck is he going to do? Give me dead ghost germs? He can't do anything because he got cocky and died!"
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"You can at least say that it's suspicious that whenever a new family moves in, a death always happens on the property."
"Cocky assholes don't know how to dump a body."
"I don't know what's worse, the fact that you're saying that or the fact of what you're saying doesn't surprise me."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"So we're going to try to communicate with one of the spirits. Abigail, if you're among us, can you please move your doll."
The two stared at the doll in the chair. A minute passed with nothing happening.
"If you don't move the doll, I'm gonna smash the doll against the wall."
"Zebra, I swear if you touch that toy, you're going to be eating only takeout for a week."
"Shit."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"There are numerous theories of why there are so many tragedies happening at this manor. One of the theories is that there is a demon that is tethered to the house and is causing misfortune to fall upon the family's lives."
"That's a bunch of bullshit"
"C'mon, you cannot tell me that you wouldn't at least consider it."
"If there's a cocky demon that tries to bring misfortune on me, I'm going to punch it in the face."
"So you don't believe in ghosts, but you're cool with fighting a demon."
"And I'd fucking win."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"You said there's a demon here, I'm gonna fucking fight it."
"Zebra, please don't."
"Hey shithead demon! Come fight me! Hurry up and tear my heart out! Or try to possess shortstack's body, that's probably easier."
"Don't pull me into this!"
"Then tell the fucking demon that."
"This is all Zebra's idea. Please don't hurt me."
"You're talking to the demon now."
"I really hate you right now, you know that."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Other supernatural investigators have tried to investigate this area. On one incident, a reporter woke up to an apparition staring straight at him, paralyzing him. The reporter described it as if something was sitting on his chest and his arms and legs felt like they were bound to the ground by cement. The apparition as the reporter described was fuzzy but had a distinct shape of a human being."
"It sounds like the dude has sleep paralysis, and he was waking up, he got cocky and thought anything blurry was a ghost. It could have been a freaking friend of his."
"Can you at least humor me on this."
"No."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Crash!
"EEEEEK! What was that! WHaT WaS That!"
The camera focuses on Kimiko was hiding behind Zebra, trembling in fear. Zebra shined his flashlight to where the noise originated from.
"It's a fucking bird. Probably flew in through an open window."
"I can't believe I'm doing this!"
"Deal with it, we're going to be sleeping in this place."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"I swear if I die while filming this video, I'm going to haunt you for the rest of your life."
"You're not going to die."
"Well at least you have some faith in me."
"Like I'm going to let you die in such a shitty place.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"So this is the room that the owner says that we can stay in." Kimiko gestured toward the room, it had a bunch of old furniture that was covered up with sheets to prevent them from collecting dust. The wallpaper was yellowing and almost peeling off of the walls along with an abundance of spiderwebs in the corners of the room.
"At least there's carpet." Zebra sat on the ground.
"I can't believe I agreed to this."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Why am I going to this stupid thing again?"
"I'm bringing food."
"..."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The cameraperson was focusing the camera on Zebra who was currently eating out of a tupperware container that Kimiko had packed.
"I hate this already." Kimiko said as she rolled out her sleeping bag onto the floor, she turned to Zebra who was still eating his food, "How can you possibly eat when we're in such a creepy room."
He paused in his eating before letting out a large belch. The camera then turned to Kimiko who was scowling at her partner.
"I hate you."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"I can totally last an entire night in the manor."
"Don't get cocky."
"I'll bet you ten dollars that I can stay in the manor overnight."
"Tch, fine,"
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"This is fine, I can do this." the camera focused on Kimiko completely wrapped up in her sleeping bag as she stared at the ceiling. The camera zoomed out to see that Kimiko had put a salt circle around her sleeping bag. "No demons or ghosts can get to me."
"We'd all get some sleep if you stopped talking to yourself." the camera turned to Zebra who was on his own sleeping bag, but instead of being neat like Kimiko's his was open and in disarray as he was laying splayed out on the carpet.
"I'm just trying to make sure that I'm not going to be murdered by a ghost or demon."
"Then you're screwed because you just broke your salt circle from when you were wiggling in your sleeping bag." Kimiko sat up as she looked at her salt circle to see that there was a part of the circle that was messed up from her moving around a bit in the sleeping bag.
"Goodnight shortstack." the camera turned to Zebra who was obviously smiling at Kimiko's distraught face.
A couple of hours have passed and the camera focused on Kimiko who was still wide awake most likely because she was scared stiff. Zebra was snoring away as he didn't have a care in the world that he was snoozing in some haunted manor. The camera picked up a sound that in a distance that made Kimiko sit up as she fiddled for a flashlight and used it to look at her surroundings. She gave a sigh as she didn't see anything around her. That was when her flashlight started to flicker before going out. Kimiko gave a horrified face before shaking Zebra.
"ZEBRA! Wake up!" the lady said as she shook him awake.
"The fuck!" the man grumbled as he sat up.
"Get up, we're leaving! I'll give you the ten bucks in the morning! C'mon let's go!" she said as she picked up her bags and tried to push Zebra to stand up.
"The fucks going on?!" Zebra said as he took hold of his backpack.
"My flashlight died, we're going to camp in the car." Kimiko said as she took out another flashlight from Zebra's bag and turned it on.
"This fucking sucks." he grabbed his bag and then looked over at Kimiko who was fiddling with the flashlight that was now flickering. He held his hand out for the flashlight. Kimiko raised an eyebrow at the hand before giving back his flashlight. He looked didn't even glance at the flashlight before smacking it against the wall causing the flickering to stop and for the flashlight to light up normally again.
"C'mon let's get out of this shithole."

Comment section:
PandazR4ever: Can we all just agree that Zebra is the epitome of the guy who's just there for the food.
2Bornot2B: I swear I only watch these videos just to see a lady be scared out of her life while her friend just laughs.
Conspiracytheorist: Do you think ghosts can have germs?
Foodizlife: does anybody wonder how good Kimiko's cooking is? It has to be good enough that it brings Zebra to haunted places
4everarealist: real or not, I would have totally loved to see Zebra fight a demon.
HeLlOdArkNess: Zebra smashing the flashlight to work properly is equivalent to me smacking my laptop to work faster. (while not the safest, still somehow works)
huskiesRthebest!:I like how even though Kimiko says she hates him, she went out of her way to make him leave the house with her. Most likely because she didn't want a demon or a ghost getting to him
Pizzaizhellthy: I'm pretty sure Zebra is ghost proof and demon proof.
HotDogaofaBun: I took a shot everytime Zebra cussed, I got alcohol poisoning.
