A/N: Hello everyone! To celebrate Halloween, I am doing this story and will be updating it all this month so that when the 31st comes around, the story will be finished. So please sit back and enjoy.

CHAPTER 1 ~ Let the games begin

Excited chatter filled the streets as parents and their children went into stores for costumes and candy. Why were they doing this? Because, it's Halloween, and the citizens of Karakura were doing some last minute preparations for the night. 'What costumes did Yuzu and Karin pick this year?' thought Ichigo. The teen was waiting outside a coffee shop, sipping at his drink.

He was waiting for his friends since they all planned to dress up and party over at Keigo's place. Since the over-energized teen's parents were out of town, he decided to throw a party for them. 'Where are they?' thought Ichigo. "Ichigo!' called a voice. His eye twitched and he brought up his foot, kicking said teen in the face.

Keigo went down, holding his face, rocking back and forth on the ground. Ichigo sighed and looked up to see some of the others that were attending Keigo's party. There was Orihime, Rukia, Tatsuki, and Mizuiro. They had more friends but are too busy to come over. "Hey, so why did we have to meet here?" asked Ichigo.

Keigo jumped up and held up a fist. "We need to buy some food, drinks, and games, my sister took all the good stuff and the games to a sleep over." sighed Keigo. "Plus, I still need to finish your costume Ichigo." beamed Rukia. "Wait, who said your making my costume?!" demanded Ichigo. Rukia smiled evily, letting him know he wasn't getting out of it.

"Anyway, we can get the food on the way back and costumes are no problems." said Tatsuki. "Uh huh, I'm gonna bring over my mango, cream cheese, and soy sauce ice-cream." said Orihime. Everyone grimaced, last time they ate Orihime's cooking, they all ended up in the hospital. "Oh ya, Keigo is having me bring over some sake." said Mizuiro. "Cool, but we each get a limit." said Ichigo.

"What, why should we Ichigo?!" demanded Keigo. "The last time we had sake my neighbors called the cops, they thought we were murdering someone!" yelled Ichigo. Everyone laughed a bit, it was a bit amusing. "Ya, and it WAS kinda hard to explain to our parents why we were in a holding cell." said Tatsuki. "Guys, we shouldn't drink at all, we're under-age." said Orihime.

"Kill-joy, learn to live a little, Orihime." said Rukia. The orange haired girl huffed and everyone snickered. "So, where should we go to get a game?" asked Ichigo. Keigo laughed and revealed a magazine. Ichigo looked to see it showed a shop and a bunch of spooky and creepy things.

"What is this shop?" asked Mizuiro. "It's called 'Hueco Mundo', it's a shop that's full of creepy things, plus it also has games." said Keigo. "Alright, where is it located?" asked Ichigo. "Um, says here it's located at 3rd Avenue." said Keigo. "That's just a block from here." said Rukia.

"Then follow me!" called Keigo. He marched ahead and the others sweat-dropped before following. Just as Rukia had said, it was only a block away. The shop was more creepier than it was in the picture. Ichigo shuttered a bit, feeling uneasy. 'Something isn't right here.' thought Ichigo.

His friends went inside and Ichigo followed suit. Inside was dimly lit, giving the merchandise shadows, making them seem more scary. Keigo gulped and the orange haired teen shoved him in more. "This place is creepy." said Orihime. "It's Hall'ween, so it's supposed ta be." said a voice.

The group looked to see a tall man holding a box. He had silver hair, crescent slits, and a devilish smile. "Uh, hi, um, do you have any cool games?" asked Keigo. "Yep, wha' kinda game are ya folks lookin for?" asked the man. Ichigo sighed but then noticed something.

The man's gaze was completely on him, he was talking to Keigo yet his gaze stayed on him. "Hm, anything that can relate yo Halloween." said Keigo. "So, somethin scary, spooky, sends chills down ya spine and makes ya blood run cold?" asked the man. "Exactly!" exclaimed Keigo. The man hummed and went behind his counter, looking for something.

"What's your name?" asked Ichigo. The man paused and looked at him to chuckle. "How true, I neva introduced ma self, ma name's Gin Ichimaru." said the man. "Nice to meet you Gin." said Keigo. Gin nodded, but his gaze still stayed on Ichigo.

"Anyway, the game?" asked Rukia. "Oh right, here, this one is a real 'scream'." said Gin. He put the box on the counter so everyone could see. It's cover was black with stars and black swirls, it also read 'Game of Destiny.' "This is a popular game, has been around since the 1800s." said Gin.

"Cool, we'll take it." said Keigo. "Just a sec, before ya play, read tha rules carefully, don't think tha rules are jokes or just there for fun, if ya play this, play at ya own risk." said Gin. Ichigo stared, wasn't this just a board game? "Alright, how much?" asked Keigo. "It'll be 500 yen." said Gin.

Keigo handed over the money and everyone started for the door. "Have fun." said Gin. Ichigo looked to him to see a pleased look on his face. The teen only shrugged it off and left. "500 yen, for this?!" yelled Keigo.

"Calm down, besides, we can always return it if we don't want to play it." said Tatsuki. Ichigo looked to the store to see a 'out to lunch' sign in place. He caught up to his friends to be grabbed by Rukia. "Come on, Ichigo, let's go to my house, your going to need your costume." said Rukia. Before he could protest, he was dragged away.

As he followed Rukia, his gaze hit the store once more. 'Why do I have a feeling something bad is going to happen?' thought Ichigo.

Gin watched the group through the window before putting up his 'out to lunch' sign. He went to the back of the shop to a small kitchen. He lead against the wall to smirk creepily. "Heh, heh, looks like this is gonna be fun." said Gin. He looked out the window and chuckled again. His eyes opened to show glowing red pupils and the smile deepened. "Let tha games begin." said Gin.
