Wheeeee! I have already announced a coming apocalypse but I won't go to that for now. ^^ I will introduce some more characters… so that I can have a lot of people to play with. On with the game! Like I said, I have altered some of their ages.
Disclaimer: I don't own DRRR! And Kanokon as well. Guardian and Crimson Demons belong to me! ^^ Don't recall where I have read that but I have read that Jack-o-Lanterns have that kind of body…
Warning: YAOI and some violence. Swearing and sexual themes are also employed. Not for children who are not familiar with Shounen-Ai.

With the demons becoming more and more attached to Shizuo's everyday life, the blonde male can only sigh as he gets acquainted to more demons such Celty and Masaomi. Even though Vorona can see them freely interacting with her love interest, she can't even stop them because Shizuo doesn't want her to because it might involve more people.
Celty Sterluson is now recognized as a Dullahan, a foreign fairy which could be classified among demons. Despite the danger and fear that her being portrays, Shinra hasn't failed to show her how strong 'love' is and so things might be much better for the two.
Vorona, again in the other hand, gets bewildered enough to realize how many demons have been roaming the Academy. However, she stays on full alert to prevent any minor haunting to fruit into a major demon outbreak.
With the accident yesterday spreading around, freshmen can't help but to poke their noses in dangerous matters… ghost hunting.

Nothing else matters other than fun and promiscuity.
…
"Uso." "Is that for real?" "I must be dreaming…"
Chatters are everywhere as the jealous males are eyeing at Celty and Shinra with the woman snuggling his arm as they walk to the classroom. Vorona, Shizuo and Izaya are walking behind them… much peaceful since Izaya and Vorona aren't pulling on the blond again.
Then Izaya twitches and looks down from the third storey to wave at two students. Mikado notices the kitsune waving and so he waves back… only to have Masaomi huff and stop him from doing so. The Inugami drags his lover away and the action makes the kitsune chuckle in amusement.
Vorona, noticing that Izaya falls back, asks Shizuo as they walk to the classroom, "Do you mind if I ask… for how long have you known Orihara?"
"Not really. It's like… less than two weeks ago."
"Hm. So I don't really have a lot to catch up with."
"Exorcists have superiors, right? Aren't you going to report about them?"
"The Order told me to beware of some demons called Guardian demons. It's like they are the demons essential to a place so we shouldn't kill them. I wonder if Orihara and that boy Kida are Guardian demons."
Not knowing the answer, Shizuo stays quiet and then they walk inside the room after Celty and Shinra. Izaya joins them shortly and pulls Shizuo away to the direction of their seats since Vorona's is far away.
Soon enough, girls begin crowding before Vorona… talking about a gift for her. They then attach a fox ears headband to her head and put a pink dog collar on her which bears her name. She shrieks as they rejoice in bliss, "N-Nani?!"
"We heard (Orihara-kun said) that Heiwajima has a fetish for fox ears so we decided to give one to you, Douglanikov-kun. It's so CUUUUUUTE~!" Then they go towards Izaya and puts the same apparel on him save that the collar is blue and it has his name on it, "We also have one for Orihara-kun! There! Fair competition!"
Fangirly screams echo in the classroom… until they have been suddenly changed to hysterical screams. Apparently, Shizuo gets up from his seat and grabs his desk only to throw it at Izaya.
"FUCKING DIE!"

Chapter 6: Let's Look for Jack-san
…
"Izaya-sempai!" Mikado waves as he and Masaomi run towards the group gathered at a big table in the cafeteria.
It is already lunchtime and so Izaya, the injured one earlier, invited everyone for a cute little meeting. In the circular table, they are seated in this sequence: Shinra, Celty, Vorona, Shizuo, Izaya, Masaomi and then Mikado. They are talking about the incident yesterday…
"Everyone's okay now. But I doubt they will remember anything at all." Celty hangs her head in guilt, "I'm really sorry. I should have done something else. Something much safer." Shinra then tries to comfort her.
"What are you doing in the Boy's Dormitory, anyway?" Izaya hums and then Masaomi nods in agreeing.
"I was supposed to borrow something from Shinra. But I felt something is horribly happening at the public toilet so I went there to help out…"
"Speaking of which, the freshmen are starting to poke their noses at weird stuffs they shouldn't play with. They really believe that the dorm is haunted." Masaomi remembers the plan of their class, I-B, and starts to creep off the humans in which he duly fails, "They said they had been seeing a floating cloth with a head of a squash and a lantern. In the middle of the night where some are dragging their feet to the pantry…"
"A Jack-o-Lantern?" Izaya and Vorona speak in unison, interrupting him, the girl then adds up, "But aren't Jack-o-Lanterns supposed to be not in Japan?"
"Don't know. But like what we have, a Dullahan is in Japan."
"Maybe it is just looking for something? Most foreign spirits are."
"Well, we're about to find it out." Masaomi grins big as he places his hand at his chest, "Because we will unlock the secret behind that Jack-o-Lantern!"
"Jack-o-Lanterns are Halloween decorations, right?"
"Well, those decors are derived from actual demons, Shinra-kun."
"I don't feel anything bad about that dorm so I can't really confirm it is haunted by ghosts. But be careful, Kida-kun, Ryuugamine-kun."
"Fucking ghost hunting events."
…

…
"Okay everyone! Get ready!" The class representative yells as every volunteer boy in the I-B is readying themselves for the ghost hunt. It is already two hours past curfew and the exact time where the sightings have happened. Masaomi and Mikado are not in the same group but the brunet calms down, thinking that Jack-o-Lanterns are not that aggressive.
The students have been deployed and so Mikado starts to talk with his partner, the class representative, "Uhm, Aoba-kun. Are you sure he'll be here tonight?"
"Why Ryuugamine-kun? Are you scared?"
"Nope. I was just getting worried what it might do."
"What do you mean?" The representative stops walking and then he turns his flashlight off with Mikado following suit. The boys then talk with only the dim moonlight guiding their eyes, "Of course, it will scare us. You're watching too much horror movies if you think it will kill us. Ah! I remember… you were included in the group of students caught in a mysterious blood shower, right? Don't worry, not all ghosts can do that."
"I hope so."
"A…"
The two boys twitch as they hear a moan from behind them… a female voice calling out for their attention. They look behind them… to see the rumored ghost. Instead of running, the representative draws out a steel pipe hidden beneath his shirt… only to attack the ghost with it. The first smash breaks a part of the squash head… and then the representative twitches as he sees the bony hand raises the lantern to his face…
"You're not Aniue. Where is Aniue? Aniueeeeeeeeeeee~?"
The representative, his face filled with creeping fear, swings the pipe through the cloth which gently passes through as if he just sways a curtain. He then swings the pipe above the damaged head… and to the sides. He finally thrusts the pipe through the curtain-like body… hitting nothing… hitting nothing he can consider a mechanical thing to make it float.
"That hurts…"
The other hand sprouts out of the white cloth and threatens to grab the kid's neck. But he manages to fall back and stares at the ghost… with the head regenerating.
"… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
…

…
"Poor things." Izaya sighs as they wait for Masaomi and Mikado the next day… but it seems like everyone who volunteered are held for a detention the next day. After the boy screamed, the dorm head and his officers came to their rescue… and made them earn a violation of the curfew code.
"But it is quite alarming… they swore they saw the ghost. Calling out to an Aniue."
"How about we ask Mr. Dorm Head to make the hunt 'legal', neh?"
"Tom-san isn't easily persuaded." "Shizuo's right. You need—" "Oh, c'mon. Watch me."
Izaya gets up from the committee table and they all watch him intently as he makes his way towards the table where the dorm head and his officers are. (Dorm officers are like peace officers inside the dorm… but Shizuo and the Crimson Demons are beyond their grasps.)
"This is getting disgusting." Vorona whispers, "Even though he is a very despicable creature of seduction, temptation, illusion and manipulation, he should choose his victims."
Izaya goes to their table and talks with the people… the other four fearing of the response. But the vibrant red glint in his eyes seems to tame the reactions of the officers. Tom Tanaka, the dorm head, then gestures his hands like explaining something. Izaya then sits down at one vacant seat and leans closer as if pleading for something. However, he looks like he failed and then the other officers try to cheer him up. He then sighs and gets up from the table… smiling flirtatiously at the other officers. With a wink, he leaves the table with the officers eyeing at him until he gets considerably distant.
"What was that about?" Shizuo asks and then Izaya chuckles with a victorious smirk as he hugs Shizuo again, with his arms hidden by the table, "Tom-sama said he can let one hunt happen so that the freshmen will stop doing it. However, it is only exclusive for the dorm officers. They are not taking risks in endangering the other students… of course me included."
And for no digestible reasons at all, Shizuo suddenly slams Izaya's face at the table and lets it stay there despite the kitsune's struggle.
"So that means there will be another hunt." Shinra hums and then Izaya tries to lift his head to speak, "We… are going to slip through… and… check it out ourselves."
"I don't really like what is happening. Let's check it out."
"Oh! It's the first time Shizuo participates in a childish ghost hunt!"
"Do you want to die?"
"I humbly and gravely apologize."
"Please be careful, Shinra, Shizuo… Orihara." "Shizuo-san, I'll send my… forget I said anything."

"This way." Masaomi whispers as he leads the two seniors towards a way to get in the dorm without accessing the main doors. All male students are not allowed to go in that night due to the large-scale inspection done by the dorm officers. However, Izaya, Shizuo and Masaomi creep inside to deal with the terror ghost demon. Staying with Mikado outside the dorm where everyone else is gathered, Shinra will be contacting them through the cellphone just to be sure they are safe as he looks out for the officers.
"Wow… we're extremely dirty." Izaya pouts as they get out of the air vent… covered in dust. Shizuo then just walks ahead and then they silently walk along the hallways… their flashlights turned off to decrease possibility of detection.
"Pantry, right?"
"Yep. This is where Mikado and Aoba found her littering."
Strange thuds on the floor then echo around… the three getting alarmed. It could be the officers or the ghost itself.
"Aniue~…" A voice calls on and then the three turn behind them… only to see the ghost going to their direction. Instead of fear-stricken faces, glares welcome the ghost and then Izaya wryly grins at the figure. He then flashes his flashlight at its eyes, "Haha. I'm so scared. Somebody save me."
"Ah! Stop it! Stop it!" Another voice speaks as the figured recorded voice plays again. Masaomi flares up again before kicking off the squash head to reveal a face of his classmate, "You?!"
"We're supposed to scare the officers, you punk. Stop it, Kida!"
Izaya then turns off his flashlight as a lot of freshmen go to stop Kida from beating the impostor ghost. Shizuo sighs and then he asks, "They all fall for this?"
"Nope. Mikado is partly-Shaman. He can tell a ghost from a human. Our ghost isn't here yet."
"Aniue? Is that you?" A creepier female voice speaks and everyone looks behind them. The real ghost demon in the form of Jack-o-Lantern sways around as it goes nearer, "Aniue…"
"It's the real thing! Run for it!" The freshmen run away while screaming hysterically as the Jack-o-Lantern makes its way towards the three. Masaomi glares at it and then he releases some electricity from his palms, "Scaring Mikado like that!"
"Wait, Kida." Shizuo speaks and then they wait for the ghost to get nearer…
"Aniue?" The ghost raises its bony hand that holds the lantern to make the light shine on their faces… "ANIUE! I've been looking for you!"
"…" Shizuo squints at the object that starts dancing around and then he gasps, "Ruri?"
"Aniue! Finally! Now I need to thank that boy who said you really are here!" "Boy?"
The night before…
Aoba yells in fright and then Mikado goes to him, "Aoba-kun!"
"Little boy… is there someone named Shizuo Heiwajima in this dorm?"
"Eh?" Mikado twitches and slowly nods, "H-Hai. W-Why?"
The figure dances, "I was right after all. I'll just come back tomorrow night to look for him."
"…G-Gambarimasu." The timid brunet whispers before the ghost disappears and the dorm officers come along, "OI!"
Back to the present…
"It's completely inappropriate for you to look for people during sleeping time." Izaya scratches his head.
"Why didn't you just check all rooms rather than waiting here?" Masaomi sighs, "It will make your search easier."
"This is a Boy's Dormitory! Women aren't allowed beyond the stairs!" Ruri, the Jack-o-Lantern, protests cutely, "So all I can do is wait here!"
"Haven't you been seeing me in the morning?" Shizuo pockets his hands and then she broods, "I can only leave Kasuka's side when he sleeps. I'm sorry."
"Oi! You there!" The officers then spot them and then Izaya grabs Shizuo for a surprise kiss. The officers then run towards them and fail to reach them before the kitsune lets him go. The fox demon then goes to them for an entrancing greeting, red glint evident in his eyes, "OH! Officers! How's the search going?" The people then stare at him as he speaks… Masaomi then signals the other two to scram by then. They run off and then Izaya leaves the officers with a wink again. The males get in a deep trance and then twitch like they don't even know why they are at the place.
One whispers under his breath, "That kitsune is sure troublesome."
"Kitsune?"
"Nevermind. We're done here."
