Darkness That Loves

By: Alex Mongiat

It had all changed when he came along. This man, no, not man, shin, came to me, and my entire life was twisted around, much to his seeming pleasure. He just walked up to me one day, him and his inhumanly long white hair, his ice blue eyes, his mysterious smile, and turned me into something else without any explanation. The only thing he ever really told me was what he was, and that I should believe in him.

Well Shirogane, I did, and now I'm dead.

1 year later at Kiriha High school

Nikaido Mizuki walked through the gates, nervous and slightly unprepared. She was new here, her first day, and yet everyone knew her. 'Akira's sister', that's all she's called as she passes other people by. She didn't even look anything like him! She had blonde hair and boobs! *sigh* Well, this is going to be fun.

(Mizu's P.O.V.)

I made my way over to the homeroom class I was assigned. I straightened, put on an indifferent mask, and walked in. As soon as the door opened, all eyes were on me. Two people in the back were staring blatantly at me with curiosity and slight sadness. The teacher looked at the class.

"Everyone, this is Nikaido Mizuki. Please be welcoming to her. Alright, you can sit at the window seat in front of Kengo. Kengo, please raise your hand." One of the people that were staring at me in the back raised his hand. I walked over, indifference dripping from every move I made as I took a seat, resting my head on my hand and turning to look out the window. I could feel myself getting scrutinized by every member of the class.

Class went by unbearably slow, so as soon as the bell rang for lunch break, I was the first one out the door. Thinking, I went up to the roof, knowing that it's usually free of people. Treading up the stairs, I opened the door, only to find that Kengo guy getting beaten with a kendo sword by a demonic brunette. I quickly turned around, ready to bolt, when the boy called out.

"Hey, wait! You're….Akira's sister, aren't you?" he asked, running over to me like a puppy without a home. I looked at him blandly.

"Yes. What do you want? Were you an enemy of his?" I cracked my knuckles, the look on my face not changing, "Because I'll be happy to beat the shit out of you." He got a scared look on his face.

"No, no, no! I'm a friend of his!" he squeaked frantically. I paused, finally recognizing the two.

"You two are…Kengo and Aya?" I asked, eyes widening slightly. They looked at me oddly.

"You know us?" asked Aya. I turned my eyes away.

"Akira…used to talk about you two a lot," I shifted my eyes to the side at the sadness reflecting in their eyes, "Sorry, I didn't mean to get you two down. I've…wanted to meet you two for a while now. Whenever he talked about you, he tried hiding his affection with anger and indifference, but he truly considered you his friends. Well, he would mention other people once in a while, but mostly you guys." They smiled sad smiles at the comment. Kengo piped up.

"He wouldn't talk about anyone he knew or was related to. We didn't even know he had a sister, so it's kind of a surprise to see you." I nodded, considering why he wouldn't tell them about me. Then I remembered something.

"Um, can one of you guys help me find the bar STILL? You guys hang out there, so…" Aya smiled.

"Sure! We can take you. After school sound good to you?" I smiled.

"Yeah, that works." The bell for next period suddenly rang, and we went back to class.

AFTER SCHOOL

"Mizuki! Over here!" called Kengo obnoxiously, flailing his arms wildly at me, and earning a hard blow to the head by Aya via kendo sword. I raised an eyebrow at them.

"Are you two dating or something?" I asked.

"NO!" they both shouted at the same time. I raised my eyebrow again, and they turned their heads away, blushing madly.

"But anyway, are we gonna go now? I have someone I'm meeting there."

"You do? You never told us that." said Aya, a curious look reflecting the look in Kengo's. I shrugged.

"You never asked." A sweat drop formed on both of their heads, blue lines showing under one of Aya's eyes.

"Right. Well, come on. We're going now." she said after calming down. Kengo nodded enthusiastically, and then ran off in a certain direction. Aya started yelling after him, following at an inhuman speed. I quickly ran after the two of them, trying not to lose sight.

I followed them for about ten minutes, somehow keeping them in sight, until they ran into the bar STILL, the one I was looking for. I paused for a moment, thinking of the consequences of just waltzing on in without a thought. I put my hands up in a defensive position, and the moment I walked in, the person I was meeting ran up and hugged my legs, fake tears streaming down his face.

"Mizu, I've missed you so much! My love for you hasn't wavered since the last time we saw each other!" A sweat drop formed on the back of my head.

"Kou-nii. Still making passes at any woman you see, huh?" He grinned, getting up immediately.

"Yep! But, really Mizu-chan, why did you never call?" he asked, pouting. I raised an eyebrow.

"You never gave me your number."

"Ack!" he slithered to the floor, covered in blue lines. The master of the bar tilted his head to me, a soft smile on his face.

"Hmm, these footsteps are different, yet similar. You must be Akira's sister, am I correct?" I looked at him in shock.

"Y-yes, I am. How did you know?" He smiled again.

"Your footsteps sound like his, yet not his. More feminine, but with the same aura I always got from him." I looked at him in awe.

"Wow, you're good." I stated. Suddenly, I felt a shiver in the air.

"Hello, Master. I came to visit aga-…." I turned around, and stared into the most gorgeous ice-blue eyes I ever saw.

"Hello, I'm Nikaido Mizuki. It's nice to meet you." I smiled slightly. His eyes widened.

"What…?" My eyebrows furrowed.

"Did you know my brother?" His eyes widened even more.

"Akira-kun…had a sister?" he asked, his voice almost a whisper. I smiled sadly.

"Yes. No one else seemed to know about me, either. Who are you?" I asked. He seemed to realize something.

"Oh! I apologize for being rude. I'm Shirogane." It was my turn to widen my eyes.

"You're Shirogane? You're THE Shirogane? You're the Shirogane that my brother always told me about?" He smiled a little.

"He told you about me?" I nodded and smiled.

"I always wanted to meet you! You're the first person that ever got him to trust anyone besides me." He blinked.

"Eh? He…trusted me?" His whole face lit up, and I smiled again.

"Yeah. He may not act like it, hell; he'll flat out deny it, but he trusts people automatically as he gets to know them." He paused for a moment, thinking. Then, he smiled, and it made his face even sexier. I blushed slightly and shifted my eyes away.

"Thank you…for telling me," he said, but then his eyes widened, "Wait, you can see me?" I blinked.

"I shouldn't be able to?" He shook his head.

"No. I'm the basic equivalent of a ghost."

"WHAT!?!?"
