Yuuma's PoV

Shark... Wants to talk to me? I smiled. Alright, I've got time. I nodded and made sure Shingetsu wasn't listening. I nodded, "Alright, coast is clear."

"What about Astral?" Shark asked, posting his thumb towards Astral.

I shrugged, "He won't tell. You should know, I share everything with him. Besides, who else would he share it to besides our friends?"

"Would he know not to tell anybody?" Shark asked, eyeing Astral.

I smiled, "Of course."

"Who else would I tell?" Astral asked, "If this... Secret is important to you, then I'll leave."

Astral faded back into his key. I sighed, "Great... So, he won't be here for a while. Guess he's gonna be busy anyways."

"Great." Shark murmured, "Secret... It's safe."

I shrugged, "So, what's th-"

"-Yuuma-kun!? What's going on up here?" Shingetsu said, interrupting me. Walking in, he wore a big smile across his face, obviously happy to be in here, "Yuuma-kun. Are you done?"

"Hold on, Shingetsu." I said, sighing, "Shark... Sorta have something to tell me."

"Oh..." Shingetsu said, his smile fading, "Alright, I can wait a bit more... I was just bored, ya know? I don't mean you well..."

I waved it off, "It's fine, Shingetsu. We'll be out there in a minute."

"Alright." He murmured, and left us alone.

Silence.

I looked at Shark, "What it is, Shark?"

"Why do you even hang around that kid?" Shark asked, frowning, "He's more annoying then you."

I shrugged, "He's a fanboy, you know what."

"So, it's his fault all the time that you guys hang-out?" He growled, "'Cause I get the feeling he's influencing you in ways that seem... Suspicious."

I frowned. Damn. Shark noticed. Shingetsu knows I hate to keep secrets, but I keep them anyways and Shark notices. Plus, he isn't easy to fool, so lying would be bad. Kaito would've been more worse, but... Shark is more violent then Kaito. So, would he hurt me if he detects I'm lying?

He'd hurt me alright. He already does everyday.

Shark? Why?

I soon tried a fake smile, "No worries, he just gets uncomfortable sometimes. Seeing that he's a fanboy and all."

"Humph." He replied, crossing his arms, "Oh yeah? How uncomfortable do you get?"

I shrugged, "The space. He sometimes gets too close for confort, ya know?"

"You never had a problem with space before." Shark murmured, and narrowed his eyes, "Are you lying?"

I frowned again, "No. No, you know I don't like to lie."

"Then tell me... Who exactly is Rei Shingetsu, anyways?" Shark asked, growling at me.

I then hesitated with this answer. I thought about who he was. He's a Varian Guardian, undercover to catch the Varian bad guys. He's convinced me that he's a good guy, but then he wants to keep it a secret, especially from Astral. So, really, who is he?

Silence.

I softly smiled, "He's a clumsy boy with a sense of humor, and he's polite as well. So, really... He's a close friend. He's Rei Shingetsu, the positive kind."

"Humph." He replied, and looked away, "Never mind then. That wasn't all, don't think this is over."

I shrugged as he walked out.

Silence.

I decided to follow, since there's nothing else here to do.

X-X-X-X

Shark surprisingly stayed, despite the fact that he knows I'm keeping secrets now. I decided to ignore that and continue enjoying company over. We watched the ESper Robins Movie that Astral really likes, and we enjoyed snacks and each others company. Shingetsu and I talked and laughed most of the time, but then I'd offer Shark to join. This is hilarious, Shark would refuse to join us, and yet he'd casually join in without us noticing until Astral ( who came out of the key soon after ) pointed that out. Shark then would shut-up until he casually talks to us again.

Heh, he does wanna talk after all.

Ahh, too bad this happy mood won't last long, and not because Shark wants answers later. No, not the least slight bit.

I smiled as Shark and Shingetsu talk.

Ahh, well... I guess I could say... All three, counting Astral, are my best friends.

I stood up, "I'll be heading to the bathroom now."

I walked away as I continued to hear talking. Well, I really need to go.

X-X-X-X

Once I was through, I walked out, and there was Shingetsu standing in front of me. He leaned in to whisper, using his deeper normal voice, "... Officer Yuuma... I wanna talk to you for a second."

"Inspector Shingetsu?" I asked, confused.

He crossed his arms, "I got a question about Shark."

Silence.

I tilted my head, "Shark? Hmm, why?"

"Does he have... Any special powers?" Inspector Shingetsu asked.

I shrugged, "Not that I know of. He duel with this cold look in his eyes, and he's powerful against our enemies. If he's facing a Varian or anything, he'd use Numbers 32: Shark Drake."

"Shark... Drake?" Inspector Shingetsu asked, "A Numbers?(1)"

I nodded, "Yeah. Why, did he do something suspicious?"

Inspector Shingetsu scratched the back of his head, "No, I'm merely curious. What is he to you?"

I blinked, "What...?"

"What is he to you?" Inspector Shingetsu repeated, getting slightly annoyed now, "Is he a friend?"

I smiled, "Of course. He's one of the closest, next to Astral, and Kaito."

"I see..." He murmured.

Silence.

"What's taking so long up there?" Yelled Shark down stairs.

"Sorry!" Shingetsu cried, now using his boyish voice we're use to, "I only mean well... I'm still waiting for Yuuma!"

"Well hurry up! I'll leave if you don't hurry!" Shark yelled.

I scratched the back of my head, "Well, I'll go entertain him now. If he said he's gonna leave, he will leave."

I waved to Shingetsu before heading down stairs to Shark. I smiled as we waited for Shingetsu.

Silence.

"Now would be a good time to finish what we started." Murmured Shark, and glared at me, "Tell me, what did you and Shingetsu talked about up there?"

I shrugged, "He was curious about you, that's all. I mean, you guys barely talk, so I guess he wanted to know how you duel, and things like that."

"Tch, typical." He murmured, "Whatever."

I smiled, "Let's just wait for Shingetsu, alright?"

"Yuuma..." Astral said, floating next to me, "Why doesn't Shark just leave if he's gonna be angry all the time?"

I frowned, "If he wants to stay, he wants to stay. If he wants to leave, he wants to leave... Simple as that. I can't force him to do anything he doesn't want."

"Humph, that was rude. You know, you dumb spirit, I'm right here." Shark said, glaring at Astral.

"I just want to know why. You seem angry about being here." Astral simply said.

"Well, if you want me to leave, fine." Shark growled, and turned to walk out.

I grabbed his shoulder, stopping him, "Wait, I don't think he's implying that, Shark. He's curious, ya know?"

"Humph, he clearly implies that I should, so I should." Shark said, frowning, "I... I want to be here, but... I'm clearly not welcomed..."

I eyed him, "... If you want to stay here, and please do... I... I..."

"What do you want? Why do you want us here anyways?" Shark snapped, and turned around, pulling away from me.

I then felt hurt now. There he goes again, hurting me. This is the longest time he hasn't hurt me in a while. While I was at the hospital, it clearly didn't count. Mostly because-As Astral implied-that he was healing me. This time... However... I shook off the hurt and looked at him. He's like a shark. You can't tame him, you can only talk to him. So, I gotta talk to him.

I looked at him, "Shark... I told you at school, remember? Can't I at least invite friends over while my family is gone?"

"Humph, are we spending the night?" Shark asked.

I eyed him, "... If you want to, Shark. That's up to you and Shingetsu."

"Tch..." He looked away, "... I-"

"-I'm back!" Shingetsu cheered and walked in. He blinked as he senses how tense it was in here. He scratched the back of his head, "Did I interrupt something? Forgive me, I only mean well..."

Shark glared at Shingetsu, "No... No you're not."

"Shark..." Astral said, floating next to him, "I'm not saying that you have to leave. I'm curious to why you hadn't yet because you look angry tonight..."

"Humph." Shark replied, "I'm just not in the mood tonight to talk."

I smiled, "Say, why didn't your sister come over, huh?"

"Rio had to go and see Tetsuo over after school to see his duels." Shark replied, "So, she couldn't come over."

"That's too bad." Shingetsu replied, "That's a first. Normally she's with you twenty-four-seven."

"Humph." Shark replied, "Tetsuo asked her, so I guess she couldn't say no."

I sighed, "I see. Well, I'd rather be at those duels too, but... Well, ya know. I invited you guys to spend time with me. See if you guys could keep me company."

They both eyed me. Huh. It does sound strange. I can see why they would be curious, but I can't tell them that. I smiled, "Shark, Shingetsu... Would it be okay if you spent the night tonight? I'm asking because I bet it'll be even more fun to spend more time together."

"That sounds awesome!" Shingetsu cheered, "I'm staying!"

I looked at Shark and smiled, "Would you like to stay?"

"Tch..." He replied and looked away, "... Whatever."

I gasped at hearing that... Wait, am I hearing that right? Shark is actually spending the night!? He never spends the night over at my house. This is the first time that I've actually had Shark over to stay... Sure, he visits, but he rarely does, and now... He's spending the night!? I smiled over big time, so happy now. I go to hug him, "You're actually spending the night here!? You're so cool!"

"Idiot! I'm not a huggy person!" Shark yelled, trying to push me away, "That is totally annoying!"

"Thank you, Shark!"

X-X-X-X
To be Continued...

(1) I'm aware that Rei Shingetsu already knew that Shark had a number. I guess he's playing dumb in this scene then? I dunno.

Ahh, that should be the en-Wait, did I seriously write "To Be Continued!?" 8O Wow. Okay, so there's more to come. I guess it'll be a three-four-shot. Depends, really. I'm still short on ideas of this fic. Like I said, I have the plot line, but I don't know how I'd write it down. So, really... There's more where this came from.

Like it? Hate it? Review please! I'd LOVE to hear what you have to say about this fic!
