Haunted

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: Own no one- well maybe the ghost:D

(This story is definitely on going! ; I won't be quit on. I've been writing off and on for a month or two now and I need feedback before I can write anymore! It is Shoenin Ai. But Cye is just so cute!)

The house was old looking. Sage was nervous just looking at it. Being a master in the emotions meant he felt everything. Literally. Old houses gave him this feeling and he hated it. Why did they have to be here? Cye and Rowen could have handled it. They didn't need to drag Sage and Ryo away from the house. Kento was the only one who got a little bit of relief. Thanks on account of his mother being ill. Someone had to take care of the other 12 brats she'd bred. Sage would have rathered sat through a week long marathon of Ryo's American Foot Ball than visit this house.

The old shudders clapped agaisnt the house causing him to jump. They were still having to drive around the 10 acre lot to even get to the door. He'd always wanted to stay in an old English House- just not an old haunted one. "Sage, cheer up!" Cye clung onto his arm and nuzzled his shoulder. The tiny red head's smile was a front and Sage saw through it. What was Cye not telling him? "It's just a week away."

"In an old creepy house." Rowen finished from the front seat. He looked back over his shoulder giving Sage a wicked grin. "Don' worry, buddy, no ghost would want you. You'd scare teh crap outta them wit one glare."

"Touma I am going to ignore your childish antics on the fact that someone forgot their Ritalin today." He responded coldly crossing his arms.

"Don't call me Touma. Dat means I'm in trouble." Rowen pouted trying to look cute but not exactly pulling it off as well as Cye could. "And it's not Ritalin. It's Concerta. Lasts longer."

"That's why I tolerate you in my bed every night. Now turn around and close your mouth before I put duck tape on it and shut it for good." Rowen squeaked and promptly turned back around. Cye snickered softly and curled up against Sage who sunk back into the back seat. Sage unconsciously wrapped an arm around Cye's shoulders.

"It's my Uncles house you know? He begged me to house sit." Cye whispered laying his head in the crook of Sage's arm. His green eyes fluttered sleepily and one of his hands knotted in the fabric of Sage's perfectly ironed navy blue dress shirt. "I don' know why no one else wanted it."

"I could probably guess a million reasons." Sage said silently glancing back out the window at the house.

"Wot was that, Sage?" Cye whispered. Sage's hand came up and stroked the red hair like he was a puppy dog and Cye laid his head back down.

Nothing, Cye. Nothing. I'm glad to be here and to help out. Don't worry." Sage was lieing right through his teeth but he hated to see Cye sad. They all did. Which was why he knew Ryo had agreed to come without whining at all.

"Wahooo!" Ryo finally shouted triumphantly as the car drove up the last stretches of the 9 hour drive from London. Sage liked long drives. They were usually calming. Except when a certain idiot named Ryo of the Wildfire was driving it. "We made it!" He got out of the car and started and dancing and singing "You Can't Touch This."

"Ryo stop acting American and help Rowen unload the bags."

"Aren't you going to help?" Ryo turned his head to see Sage carrying Cye in his arms. The blonde looked worried. "Dude, what's wrong?"

"It's that time again?" The blonde sighed and cradled Cye closer walking up the steps of the large house.

Rowen sighed and shook his head throwing two of their bags over his shoulders and following him with Ryo trailing behind. "Man, it's not fair. It's one spell after another. I hope Anubis can find the cure soon."

"Ditto." Ryo replied. If not for them but Cye and Sage. It was not long after the last battle with Talpa. They had to fight another monster called The Being. It stole life force from every human being and it happened to get a hold of Sage. Cye saved Sage by giving his life force to him. In return his armor began to monthly take huge amounts of energy from Cye's body to make up for the Life Force shortage causing Cye to become very weak and sick for a week or two. It wasn't fair to either of them. Cye was sick and Sage was feeling responsible and guilty. The main problem with all of it was that it took Cye's body so long to recuperate that it was almost constant torture.

As Sage got to the front deck of the large mansion the double doors swung open. A tall man in a pressed gray suit stood there. His eyes were an ice blue and his hair was white and nearly gone. He smiled crookedly at the blonde. "Mr. Da-tey?"

"Date Sage." Sage bowed as best he could with Cye's unmoving body in his arms. "I suppose you are the hired help?"

"Why yesss. I have been working for Mr. Mouriah for nearly a century." The man smiled ain, "Hurford Jenkins at your service, Sir Date."

"Sage. Call me Sage. Date is my last name and would be far to formal. Can you please show me the way to our rooms so that I may lay Cye down? He's feeling quite ill at the moment I'm afraid."

"Is he sick?"

"Not exactly." Rowen popped up pushing through the two of them. "It's his monthly pain."

Ryo joined in not trying hard enough to hide his grin and giggles as the old Butler raised an eye brow. "It's his menstural period. PMS and all. Cramps. They suck."

Rowen stuck his head out the door frame one last time stifling laughter. "At least we can tell his mother that you didn't succeed in making babies with him Sage." The blonde turned a dark red as Rowen and Ryo high fived each other and ran off leaving Sage to clear up the entire situation.
