Review:
Another supernatural HnG fic (and, really, I think there's only two of them -- they just happen to be among the longer stories in the fandom). This time Hikaru's being haunted by a malevolent ghost (unlike Sai, who was more of the hyperactive, fluffy bunny variety) and, of course, he turns to Akira for help. Touya doesn't immediately believe him (so bonus points for reality), but once he does, he jumps right in with both feet and a grim determination to research till he finds a solution. Except they get a little distracted by their growing attracting for each other (yay!)

The best part of this fic is the plot, which is something most HnG fic is notoriously lacking. The ghost is also very creepy, and Hikaru's growing terror is very believable. All in all, a good spooky story with just a touch of romance.
