Warning: they're probably OOC, it's been forever since I wrote anything. ^^;
Disclaimer: its Shin Mashiba's dreamscape, I'm only playing in it.

Author's Note: This is a major edit; but I realized it's too much too soon, and with the way the next chapters are working out, 'Starlight' is gonna need a major rewrite.

He stopped short of putting the top on at the sight of his right wrist. Smiling softly, he stuck one finger in the polish as he turned to the window.

"Hiruko, what are you doing?" Mizuki's question made Hifumi turn too.

He only smirked as he wrote 'olleH' on the glass.

"So you can write backwards, so what?" Hifumi half-grumbled, "The shado--"

A short simple 'Hi' shown on the table cloth.

"What?!? How in the…" Hifumi slammed his hands on the table, gawking.

Mizuki stepped up beside him like always, "Hiruko, what's going on?"

"Augh, look!" Hifumi jumped back, pointing.

The shadow slowly rewrote itself…

"'Bored?'" they both turned to the baku, "Wait, WHAT! It still says 'olleH'! How?!?"

Hiruko snickered as he stuck his finger in the jar again.

"Only the shadow changes…" Mizuki whispered as Hiruko turned back to the window and wrote 'elttil A' under the first line.

Hifumi jumped back as the shadow changed again. " 'I can't'" Mizuki whispered each line, " 'tonight'."

Suddenly snapping out of it, Hifumi sat across from Hiruko, intently studying the window as he added another line. '?worromoT'

" 'Okay' 'but it'd'" Hifumi and Mizuki read the lines, " 'be late'."

He smiled softly as he picked up the rag, wiping it all off.
