Cs: Sorry this took me forever.

Jou: Yes there are a few others that feel the same way.

Seto: Right.

Cs: Anyways on with the story. Sorry it took forever again. Gomen minna- san.
~Jou Pov~

I had longed for this for so long and prayed that one day we might be just friends once more. Shizuka did I fail you?

No I haven't I think in a way I did what was destined to happen all along. Thank Kami that I accept it now.

I smiled and got up smiling looking over at Seto who seemed confused.

"As much as I know you don't like it. I am going to get up and make myself decent."

He blinked looking at me though my hair was disheveled and my clothes there came the reply I was waiting for.

"You look perfectly fine." I snickered at this and point to him.

"Like you should talk koi."

Seto stood up and gave me a mock glare before walking out of the room faintly blushing.

I was laughing pretty hard walking into the bathroom attached to the room. Never had I seen him blush at this age. I hadn't laughed like this in years actually.

I looked around the bathroom thinking. There was a large bath or I suppose a cross between a bath and whirlpool with a second glance. The floor is a beautiful white marble with a pattern of lines weaving many shapes and interesting pictures. I could spend hours finding all sorts of hidden shapes and objects in a weave of lines and while.

There was a double sink with not to my surprise blue towels. He loved blue obviously. I wonder why he would.

I just smirk at my thought.

Much as I want to pretend I can't hid from myself that that dream had truth to it. I shudder a bit listening to my sobs in the dream echo through my mind.

"Kami-sama."

I muttered before looking toward the separate shower and turn the water on making it a tolerable temperature. I took a towel and looked back to the door. It was closed.

"I don't remember closing it..oh well must just have forgotten."

I think nothing of it and strip down getting into the shower the temperature change evident to my skin. I slid the shower door closed and put my head under the water letting my hair become saturated pushing it out of my eyes. Since it's wet it stays out of my eyes.

I rub my eyes for a moment feeling a bit tired. I shook my head after and splashed my face with water. It helped me a bit then I looked around grabbing soap and lathered up my hands thinking as I did so.

I stop and turn getting an eerie feeling of being watched. I shrug it off and proceed with my shower trying to ignore this feeling that is nagging at the back of my mind.

I rinse off again then I start to wash my hair thinking now sure something or someone was watching me. I growl lowly rising my hair.

"It's just my imagination.." I muttered trying to completely ignore it now. It's no big deal anyway if it is anyone probably Seto trying to scare me.

I rolled my eyes at that I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of scaring me. At least not with this..so childish.

I jump hearing something hit the floor.

Maybe I am more unnerved than I admitted before.

I pushed the door aside to look to see if anyone was in there. I poked my head out nothing and no one. Looked like something had just fallen over due to gravity finally winning the war of balance.

I pulled my head back into the shower closing the door rising my hair again looking up at the ceiling.

Even though I'm finished I don't want to get out it's nice and warm though I'm freaked out. I am too paranoid.

I laughed a bit at that. Yes I really was.

I turned the hot water up a bit just to stay there and enjoy the warmth.I jumped two feet hearing a ringing.

I pulled the door back to look out and saw a cell phone now on the sink. I blinked stepping out grabbing the towel putting it around my waist. I walked over picking it up to find it real which caused dread to run through my being. I answered it even though all of my being cried out for me to do nothing but crush it.

"Hello?..."

My voice sounded a false sureness and a meager strength.

There was no answer but I could hear breathing..or panting was more what it sounded like.

"What do you want? Stop waiting my time.."

I was angry but afraid so my voice was betraying me. I tried pressing to show only my anger.

Still no answer but I could hear footsteps through the phone.

They were toying with me my fear fading being replaced with rage.

"Look am I getting pissed what the hell do you want?!"

There was a small laughed in a dark tone then a muttered plea. I could not make out the words nor the meaning of the tone. Whoever it was they were begging that was all I could tell.

"I.."

Before I could say another word they spoke.

"Katsuya..you cannot run. We will find you and that little friend of yours."

I felt my body start to shake and my face pale shades lighter. That voice cold and emotionless. They were alive..or I think they might have been. The voice was familiar in an odd eerie manner. I froze hair standing on end all over my body. I could hear my own heart skip a beat speeding up.

"Promises are promises.none turn their back to us..none Kasuya."

My eyes widened in horror as I knew something was coming. Something horrible and evil in all its strength and wickedness.

My the gods help me and protect Seto. I don't know if I alone can this time. Then again maybe I need to be protected now.
CS: Tada..well sorry it took me so long.

Jou: You make me look like a sissy.

Seto: That's where I come in koi.

Jou: Whatever..
