Description
Halloween came around every year and this year wasn't any different from the rest. The streets were lined with Jack o' lanterns and various pictures of ghosts, witches and various other supposedly frightening entities. For Kai and Kira, Halloween was just their job times and it would be a fun filled at least eight hours of terrifying children and adults alike out of their wits. It was a fun job and didn't require you to be particularly smart. That's why zombies managed to get the job. Yet again, before the debut of Halloween of 2012, Kira sat in her kitchen lecturing her familiar.

'And for god's sake, if you're going to talk, at least make it scary like "I'm gonna rip your arms off!" or maybe "You're gonna be my dinner!" stuff like that. The whole point of our job is to scare the people, not chat with them about the latest episode of Merlin or something. This year, please don't mess up like you've done for the last 50 years.' After 50 years Kira still hadn't tamed her mouthy steampunk pumpkin. Many parts of said pumpkin had been replaced and fixed from the amount of times he found a cauldron come crashing into his head. Kai was getting quite good at repairing broken pieces and remoulding the unfixable metal. When he needed to resmelt the metal, he tended to summon up demons and get them to do the providing of fire, he was far too lazy to summon up his own.
Even while walking to the event of the year, Kira and Charlie were arguing about how to treat the children and how to scare the adults shitless.

'You have to scream, make it sound like you're going to kill them. And no discussing the soaps. I've been the laughing stock of the Halloween spirits ever since I ended up with you so don't mess up again.'
'I can do what I damn well please. I am my own person and am not to be ordered what to do by a mere child.'
'Child? You called me a child?! I am over a hundred years old, far older than you. Don't even think about calling me a child! If anything, you're the child here!'
'You're both acting like children so shut up!' They completely ignored Kai and carried on as if he was not there at all. It was a lengthy argument and they were still going strong by the time they reached the town they'd been assigned to.

Every year they were assigned to a different town so as to prevent people from recognising the same spirits again and taking pictures of the spirits. Some spirits got to hang around the same area every time though, mostly the ghosts, and these ghosts tended to appear all year round to terrorise the inhabitants of a particular house. This year Kai and Kira had been assigned to a town called Kniveton in Derbyshire along with a few ghosts, a high class demon and his minions, another witch and a reaper. Kai was getting along well with the reaper and they were comparing scythes and terror tactics. Kira, however, was not getting along quite so well with the witch.

'I've heard about you. You're the girl with the stupid pumpkin who mess things up every year. You two are such losers. I mean, who has a pumpkin for a familiar? Only a total idiot would choose something so dumb. I mean look at it, it's just a pile of crap junk!' and she walked away laughing towards the high class demon to try and chat him up.
'Oooooh, I'm gonna kill her. C'mon Charlie, let's sh-'
'That little brat is going down! Come on Kira, by the end of this night we're gonna have scared way more people than her, and let's get her at the end too!' Kira was somewhat stunned at this show of enthusiasm for the job from Charlie, who usually only showed enthusiasm at things like his favourite programs on the television, going to see the latest musical or a new set of cogs and wheels and a whole pint of oil to add.
'Alright. I like your plan. We're gonna scare her witless.' And with that pleasing thought, Kira followed the others to wait for the six o' clock signal to let loose.

The first child the Kira came across was most unusually dressed in a giraffe suit. Normally the little children like to dress as princesses or superheroes, things like that, but here instead was a giraffe. That's pretty cool. To start the parade, Kira lit little fireballs and floated them around the small child who looked like he was going to start wetting his pants soon but before he could do anything like run away, Charlie swooped round one side and Kira the other. With a demonic grin they began to chase the little boy, screeching and laughing maniacally, shouting words like 'Guess who's going in the pot tonight!' and 'We're coming for you!' After twenty seconds or so, they let him go and sat back laughing.
'That was more fun than I realised it would be. Perhaps I have been missing out on much while I was watching my soaps.' There was even wider grin on his face than normal and he looked like he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
'I told you it was fun. You should have listened to me way earlier.'

After hours of chasing children and adults alike Kira found Kai hovering above someone's Halloween party. The party in question was full of teenagers dressed in less than adequate clothes and all had a lot of alcohol and various substances that weren't exactly good for a person to consume if you were worried about the long term effects. In perfect synchronisation, the twins rushed down, shattering bottles and throwing ice, fire and dust everywhere. The mass of people screamed and ran for cover from the merciless spirits. Laughing and cackling, they ran away as it was past midnight and Halloween was over. The only trick left to play was that on the arrogant witch.

Posing herself to be a dead corpse, Kira lay on the floor of the meeting place, covered in blood and with a slit throat while Charlie cracked his shell on the nearest tree and fell. The demon was the first to arrive and panicked at the sight of his dead fellow spirit but was soon calmed by Kai who led him away to watch from behind the bushes. The witch was the next to arrive and at first she taunted Kira, saying how she was sure it was all a trick, but when Kira didn't respond, she started to freak out.

'It wasn't my fault. Just because I told her the truth doesn't mean she needs to go and kill herself. She's so stupid if she can't even take something small like that!' and with other words to this effect she ran to the body to inspect it further. Just as she reached Kira, Kira leapt up screaming bloody murder and before anything else could happen, the other witch fainted.

'Well we win. They won't be calling us the useless pair anymore! C'mon Charlie, you did great!' and with such celebratory thoughts, they all went home, leaving the other witch behind to brave the cold in the little town of Kniveton.
