The Hikari Ghost

Chapter 3:

"My everything…"

Dark stood up, "What? Who's your everything?"

But it was too late, Daisuke blinked and regained control of his body, "He's gone."

"You knew he took over your body? Strange, I always thought it'd be like the movies…you know, where they're all unaware and stuff."

The redhead shook his head, "You only wish, I gave him permission. I did find something out though."

Violet eyes looked at his friend, "What'd you find out?"

"The reason why he won't talk."

This caught his attention, "And why is that?"

"Something about not wanting to do anything too drastic, in case it catches his attention and how it'd be bad if it did."

"Who's he?"

"I didn't have enough time to ask."

"Damn…"

Blue eyes looked over, "Well Dark…you seem to be awfully interested in the ghost all of a sudden. Why the sudden change of heart?"

He gave a shrug, "…yea, I have no idea why myself, but there was a little click in the back of my head. Cool, no? It's just like in the movies. Actually, this whole thing's like a movie really, the only problem is that this isn't a movie."

"Right…" The owner of the house rolled his eyes, "I think someone hasn't gotten enough sleep, let's go to bed."

"Good idea…"

Dark headed up the stairs and into his borrowed room, he looked at the locked closet and snorted, "It'd be easy to just go and pick that lock already…" Doing his best to take his mind off of it, he turned the lights out and crawled under the covers, his eyes closing as he drifted off to sleep.

He looked around, his settings were familiar, to a certain extent, it was more like a little nagging voice in the back of his head, as usual. Walking around aimlessly down the empty corridor, he could faintly make out voices talking to one another softly. He leaned in to hear them better, eyes widening at what he heard.

"…if you have nothing, then…then I'll be your everything…"

Violet eyes opened groggily, "What the hell was that about?" He sat up and wondered vaguely what the last chick-flick he watched was and why he dreamt of it. Shaking his head and clearing his head of the thought, he got out of bed and headed down into the kitchen. "Mornin'…"

Satoshi didn't bother looking up. Instead, he looked at his watch and shook his head in disapproval, "Morning my ass, it's already way past noon, you idiot."

He gave a sleepy glare at the other, "Don't call me an idiot, you creep. Where's Dai-chan?"

"In the library."

Dark gave an exasperated sigh, "Again? Still trying to get that ghost to talk? I swear, ever since that day, every time I wake up, he's in there trying to get that ghost person to talk. Will he never give up?"

Blue eyes looked over at the other, "No…well maybe, I mean, I wouldn't know whether he was talking to the ghost or not, but the last time I checked he was reading."

"Oh…" He shuddered slightly, rubbing his arm lightly, "I hate that room."

Satoshi raised a brow, "Why? Too many books in there for your liking?"

Dark shook his head, "No, for your information, reading isn't that bad for me. But that's not it, it's just a feeling. Like something's not right, I'm not sure whether it's the room or something in the room, but either something in there isn't good or something in there isn't as it's supposed to be. Call it Dark's intuition, you wouldn't understand."

"There's food on the table." The blue haired boy headed out of the room and grumbled under his breath as he rubbed his temples, "Great…he's turning into a woman now." He stepped into the library to find the redhead still reading, he walked up next to the other, "Find anything interesting?"

Daisuke looked up from his book and smiled at his friend, "Not really, I mean nothing that's connected to the ghost. Is Dark awake yet? I heard someone stomping around and complaining rather loudly awhile ago."

"I see, well yes, when he's awake, the whole world has to know about it…did you know Dark's turning into a woman?"

Ruby eyes looked over both startled and amused, "What?"

Satoshi shook his head again, honestly, Dark could be so troublesome at times, "He's got this Dark's intuition thing going on."

The redhead laughed, "That's Dark for you, it's like he can't decide between the two. But that's okay, we're all used to it. I mean he is Dark, it's only normal for him to be like that or else he wouldn't be defined as Dark Mousy."

Be careful. He's here.

There was a pause. Daisuke looked somewhat dumbstruck, and Satoshi felt a something move beside him, ruffling his hair slightly. A moment later there was a crash coming from the kitchen, the younger two ran over to where their other friend was.

When he looked over, he found himself facing a plate which was flying towards him at a dangerous speed. Instinctively, he held up his arms to block it. He waited and heard another plate crash onto the ground, and a gust of wind blew past him while footsteps approached him. Opening his eyes, he watched his friends run towards him, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of gold.

Daisuke stared at his friend, "Dark? Your arm's bleeding, are you alright?"

He lowered his arms and glared at the redhead, "Daisuke, you don't put the words 'bleeding arm' and the question 'are you alright?' in the same sentence. I just had a plate thrown at me, quite possibly by a ghost, does that sound alright to you?"

The redhead frowned at the other's attitude, he didn't like where it was going, "Dark, get a hold of yourself already."

"You try having ghosts chuck plates at you! I don't care whether you say he's good or not but this definitely doesn't fit my category of 'good' things!"

Daisuke gave a frown and snapped at the other, "Stop falsely accusing people of things they're not responsible for!"

Both the other boys turned to look at him, "Daisuke…?"

"It wasn't him! He didn't do it Dark! If you must know, he was in the library beside me this whole time! He's the one who saved you from having a second plate thrown at you! Now apologize!"

Dark scratched his head lightly, "…sorry?" It felt weird having to apologize to someone or something he wasn't sure existed. But then again, if it got the redhead this worked up, he wasn't sure he wanted to go against the other's will. "Anyways, Daisuke, if it wasn't…him, then who was it?"

"…another member of the Hikari family, one who really wanted to inherit this place along with its powers." He looked up to receive questioning stares, "He was yelling at us…at him, I could only catch a part of it."

Satoshi blinked curiously, "Hm? What'd he say?"

Daisuke gathered his thoughts and memories together, "To us? He was saying, get out, this place is mine. Get out. And when he arrived, the second ghost was really surprised or something, he was saying something along the lines of, you? You weres upposed to be gone and done with a long time ago! Why are you still here? Then he ran away. I'm not sure whether he'll be back or not, he's not grounded here, that's for sure."

"So that means…"

He looked over somewhat confused, "That he comes on visitation?"

The blue haired boy frowned, "I mean the part with the 'you were supposed to be gone and done with a long time ago?' What does that mean? Was he supposed to have died earlier or something? Well, that's the impression I was getting anyways. You wouldn't go around randomly saying that a person's supposed to be gone and done with for no particular reason."

Daisuke shook his head, "I'm not sure. Maybe? But whatever he meant by that, clearly he wasn't expecting to get intercepted by him or to see him at all. It makes me wonder what's happened here before, it's really interesting." He looked up, "It's weird, but I'm getting really excited about this."

Dark looked over, "Daisuke…really? Getting excited over something like this?"

"What's wrong with being excited about something like this? Dark, you're always excited about random and sometimes useless things, so why can't I?"

He didn't bother arguing that what excited him wasn't useless, random perhaps, but never useless. "…you know what? Never mind. You go and be excited all you want. You have my full consent."

Satoshi sighed at the two and shook his head for the uncountable time that day, "I'm heading back to the library, maybe I'll find something if I keep reading. My family history seems a lot more twisted than I expected. I mean, I've heard the stories and rumours but nothing like this ever came up."

The redhead looked over, smile back on his face, "I'll join you in a minute, I'll just help Dark dress his wound."

"Alright, I'll see you in a minute."

Daisuke nodded and went to fetch bandages, he sighed when he reached Dark, who was cleaning the injury, "You know…you really shouldn't jump to conclusions like that."

Dark looked over with a raised brow, "I'm not sure about you, maybe you'd react differently, but as a normal person with no special powers whatsoever, I find it rather hard to concentrate on thinking logically when I've been assaulted by some unseen person."

He sighed and began wrapping up the other's arm, "I suppose that's true…you're just so…ugh sometimes, you know?"

There was a pause as the redhead finished and put the extra away, "Hey…do you think I can join you two in the library?"

Crimson eyes widened slightly in surprise, "What?"

"What do you mean 'what'?"

"Can you say that again?"

"…do you think I can join you in the library? In reading I mean…not...whatever else you two do in there."

"Wow Dark…I'm pretty sure this is the first time you've asked me for permission to do something, and to read history nonetheless. Of course you can, but why?"

Dark gave a shrug, "What can I say? I'm a curious guy. Besides, my Dark's intuition is going crazy for some reason, and it's like…I'm not sure…it's just like a gut feeling. That's all I can really say. And as for why I'm asking for permission…god knows what you two will be doing in the library."

"Dark!" He gave a huff and slapped the other's arm causing the other to yelp in protest, "Satoshi-kun was right, you are turning into a girl!" He got up with a huff, "Whatever, I'm going to go help Satoshi-kun, come whenever you want. And clean up the mess."

The elder boy gave a huff, "Why do I have to clean it up after a ghost? Isn't that a little unfair? Get him to come back to clean it up himself!" But the other had already left. So sighing, he went to do what he was told to despite his earlier protests. He could feel someone else's presence in the room, but it wasn't as cold and chilling as before. Looking up at nothing in particular, he thought about what he was about to do and decided to go along with it, no one was watching anyways. Smiling, he spoke in a low voice in case the other two were around, "…so you're the one that helped me earlier? I guess I should apologize for earlier. So sorry and…thanks for helping me out."

Strangely enough, it almost felt as though the whole room was smiling at him.
