The Séance

Chapter 2:

In the morning, Dark had rushed out of the house, making a sharp turn, on the way he say a familiar sight of long golden hair, he grinned and ran up to his friend silently until he was directly behind him. Then he screamed, "Hi Krad!"

The blonde yelped and whirled around, "D-Dark!"

Dark blinked, "Yea it's me, who else would it have been? Dai-chan?"

"Don't do that!"

He watched Krad curiously, "You're not usually this jumpy, what's gotten into you?"

"Nothing…" The blonde rubbed his temples.

"You sure?"

"Yes, just tired."

Dark's grin came back as he took Krad by the shoulders and started steering him, "Here, I'll steer you to school! You just close your eyes and let me push you-"

"Into a car."

"Would not! I'll push you to school!"

The blonde stepped to the side and let Dark go ahead, "It's okay. I'm tired, not blind."

"Aww…don't pout…"

"I'm not pouting!"


That day Krad didn't concentrate well in class either, he just kept staring at the corner, head resting on the desk. Soon enough he fell asleep, until he was woken abruptly by Dark's laughing, "Wha?"

The teacher gave the laughing boy a disapproving yet questioning look, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yea…homo-erectus…" He wiped a tear away from his eye from laughing too hard, "That's a funny word…"

The class laughed, getting the little sick joke. The teacher frowned and resumed teaching, or at least he tried to. It was proven to be difficult when there was a class full of laughing kids. He sighed, gave up and dismissed them to lunch. Krad rolled his eyes and went back to his trance.

Dark waved a hand in front of his face, "Krad?"

He got no answer.

"Krad!"

The blonde looked at him and blinked, "Yea?"

Dark raised a brow, "It's lunchtime."

"Oh…"

"What's with you?"

"What?"

"You've been zoning out…again…"

"Oh, that, nothing."

Dark snorted, completely unconvinced, "Come on, let's go eat."

Krad nodded and followed him out of the classroom, they headed up to the roof and sat down in their usual spots. Dark grinned eagerly, "So…"

"So what?"

"Lunch!"

"Oh," he tossed him his obento, "here."

The violet haired boy stared at it, "Krad?"

"What?"

"Aren't you going to have any?"

"Not hungry."

"…"

"Dark! Krad-kun!"

Dark returned the redhead's greeting, "Dai-chan! Creepy boy!" He receive a snort from the blue haired boy, "Okay…I take that back…I meant to say creepy snob of a pig…"

Satoshi glared at him, Daisuke half heartedly pouted, "Mou…that's mean…"

The amethyst eyed boy decided to change the topic, "So Dai-chan, any messages from the insulter of the spirit world?"

The redhead perked up and smiled, "Oh yea! Kaa-chan told me that there's a spirit on the loose, and it's most likely to be evil!"

They all stared at the redhead like he was being mobbed by pink colored snails, "How can you say that with a smile?"

Daisuke's smile never faltered, "Because we don't have the slightest idea where it is."

"How reassuring…"

Dark looked at the empty lunchbox in his hands, "I finished it already?"

Satoshi raised a brow, "Wow, they weren't joking when they said that your stomach had a mind of its own."

"Hey watch it! My stomach is very sensitive."

The blue haired boy rolled his eyes and went to join the redhead. Krad was sitting against the wall with his eyes closed, Dark crawled towards him, "Krad?"

The blonde stirred but went back to sleep, Daisuke frowned, "He looks like he hasn't slept for ages…"

Satoshi took a bite out of his lunch, "He probably hasn't."

Dark raised a brow, "Oh well, no worries, I'll go to his house tonight."

The blue haired boy just continued eating his lunch, "Stalker…"

"Asshole."

"Moron."

"Creepy."

"Idiotic."

"Jackass."

"Stupid."

"Brat-"

"Urusai…" The two stopped and stared at the blonde whose eyes were opened to slits and was glaring at them. Dark gulped noticing how feral his friend looked, a moment later Krad had drifted off again.

Satoshi grumbled under his breath and continued eating, Dark sat beside his sleeping friend, "You eat really slow…"

"I'm not you."

"No, I doubt you'll ever be."

"Thank god."

Daisuke watched the two bicker, then he looked at the sleeping form, he wondered why Krad was so out of it. It was a rare occasion, the blonde falling asleep at school…


"Why are you coming over?"

"Because I want real food for dinner."

Krad gave his friend a strange look, "You ran out of food?"

"No, but you can cook and I can't."

"Can't you order pizza or something?"

"Nope!"

The blonde shrugged, "Just stay out of my kitchen."

The normal house rules, stay out of the kitchen, don't touch anything in the kitchen and don't ever try to cook. Dark grinned, "Yea, yea, don't come into contact with the kitchen ever or else I'll lose my head."

"Glad you know the rules, not that you ever follow them…"

"What? The only rule I ever break is going into the kitchen since you take too long and it gets boring! I never tried to cook or anything!"

"You tried cooking…"

"Once! That was an accident!"

"Which part? Setting the stove on fire or the sink?"

"Both! Anyways, that's not going to happen again…"

"It better not…"

Dark pouted, "Aww…don't you trust me?"

"I trust you enough to invite you over."

"But you don't trust me around your kitchen."

Krad paused, "…I don't think I ever will again…"

"Hidoi…"


They entered the house, Dark shivered, "Is it just me or is your house really cold?"

Krad shrugged and looked around, "Nothing seems to be out of place…"

"Well in that case…" Dark hopped into the house and kicked his shoes off. The blonde sighed, he watched his friend invite himself into his house, Dark was right, the house did seem pretty cold. His friend looked back, "What's wrong with you Krad? You seem pretty out of it today."

He shook his head, "It's nothing, just didn't get enough sleep."

"If you say so…go!"

"Huh?"

"Go cook!"

"Oh…" Krad sighed and headed into the kitchen, "Yes master, right away master."

"Good! While you're at it, I want a drink."

"Get it yourself!"

"I can't."

The blonde raised a brow, "Why?"

Dark smirked, "Because I'm not allowed in the kitchen!"

Krad smacked his head and groaned, "Out of all times for you to actually listen to me…"

He pouted, "I always listen to you! Only I choose to ignore it."

"That's nice…"

"Food!"

"Alright, alright!" Krad headed to the kitchen grumbling, "I swear, I wouldn't be surprised if you were to grow up the fattest man on earth."

"I'm not fat! Look! I have curves! Curves I say!"

"Whatever…"

The blonde walked into his cooking area, there was a little red light blinking, it was the answering machine. Krad blinked and listened to it. A moment later Dark popped his head into the kitchen with a freaked out look on his face, "Gods that's eerie, who is that?"

The recording was a couple minutes long and muffled by static. If Krad wasn't mistaken, he would've sworn that it sounded like a woman with her mouth covered…with something…she was nearly shrieking into the phone. When the message finished, it erased itself and the machine turned off, the two stared at the machine in astonishment. "Krad? Who the hell was that?"

"I don't know…"

"Personally, I think your answering machine's broken beyond repairs so why not throw it out and get a new one?"

"What am I? Loaded with cash?"

"Possibly…are you?"

"No."

Dark half pouted, "Oh…dang…"

Krad frowned, "Maybe you're right about the machine being broken though…"

"That was beyond eerie."

"Uh huh." The blonde had to agree even though the way Dark had worded it was not what he would've said.

"No caller ID?"

"None."

"Freaky…"

The blonde blinked, "I swear it was closed when I left this morning…"

"What?"

"The machine wasn't on."

"Okay…even freakier. So…food?"

"Right…" The blonde rummaged through the kitchen and cooked up something quick for his friend.

"Aren't you having any?"

"Not hungry."

"Like usual…"

"What?"

Dark rolled his eyes, "You know what I'm talking about." When the blonde didn't reply he sighed and crossed his arms mockingly, "Come on Krad! Eat! No! I'm not hungry! Next time: Eat Krad! I'm not hungry! And then it repeats over and over again!"

Krad raised a brow, was that how he really sounded like all the time? "Whatever, that's too bad if I'm not hungry."

"And that's why you weigh less than a twig, you-you sliver!"

The blonde gave his friend a funny look, his eyes flickering over to the corner once in awhile, "Sliver?"

"That's right!" Krad sat down on his couch and laid down, resting his eyes for a minute while Dark scarfed his food down. "This stuff is good, you sure you don't want any?"

"I'm fine with not eating eight meals a day."

"I don't eat eight! I only eat…" He mentally counted, "six…"

"Hn."

"Hey you alright? You look pretty out of it for someone who's supposed to be healthy from not eating. I don't think I've ever seen you quite like this, except that time at camp."

"Don't remind me…"

"What's so bad about setting a worm on fire?"

"You stuffed it in a Lego man and set him on fire, not to mention the worm expanded and got all inflated and blew up!"

"You looked sick when it happened."

"How was I supposed to not be? That was disgusting, the guts were flying everywhere…"

"…pft, the Lego man part was an extra. You're too picky about the details."

"Without the Lego man, the worm wouldn't have blown up you twit."

"And how do you know?"

"Remember last month? You set that worm on fire on the sidewalk and watched it shrivel up and burn."

"Oh yea…"

They talked awhile longer, ate dinner, hung around and went to bed. Dark curled up against the blonde. Krad laid awake, he looked over when an arm was slung over him. "Nnn…Krad, you still awake?"

"Yea…"

Dark's words were somewhat slurred, "Go to sleep goddamn it."

"I will…"

"Liar." The violet haired boy grabbed the blonde's arm furthest away from him and hugged it making Krad roll over. The only thing golden eyes saw after that was a mop of purple hair and Dark's sleeping face, "Sleep."

"Hn…."


Running, he was running away from something. Something that was getting closer rapidly. Ahead him was a light, it didn't seem to be getting closer, he looked back the darkness was starting to consume him. Finally there was a burst of light…

Krad blinked, it was morning, he must've fallen asleep…Dark was still asleep beside him. He rubbed his eyes lazily and allowed himself to go back to sleep for a couple minutes…only a couple minutes…

Dark sat up, or he would've if there wasn't an arm slung over him, he looked down, it was Krad. The blonde was asleep, Dark gave a shrug, if the blonde wasn't awake it must not be time to go to school.

The blonde woke up for the second time, Dark was still asleep…he got up and took a shower. Headed downstairs and made breakfast and lunch, a couple minutes after that Dark came down rubbing his eyes. "Ohayou…"

"Ohayou yourself, you're a mess."

"Nnn…"

"Go take a shower or something."

"Hai…what time is it?"

Krad looked at his watch for the first time that day, "Holy shit! We're late for school!"

The pair ended up running to school just in time for…lunch.

"This is all your fault!"

"My fault? You're the one who slept in!"

"You didn't wake me!"

"I was cooking!"

Things were back to normal for the next couple days until Krad got sick unexpectedly.
