Hi, Devinedragon here, sorry for not saying anything in the first chapter. I wrote this story during night so hope you like it. I think it's cute. The first chapter is just for setting the mood. So, let us start the story…

Disclaimer: I do not own DNAngel. I do own the character Mr. Aitik, but not his name because that's a Swedish copper mine O.o I get inspiration of the oddest things.

Warnings: OOC-ness, a mild striptease Show with Saehara and a rabbit in strawberry paradise… yeah, just read it. I hope you not hungry while reading this because it is about a birthday party… suit yourself in that case.

Chapter 2

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…You can't be serious, can you?" laughed Saehara while pulling up his sleeveless to wipe off the tears poring down his chins. The muscles in his stomach seemed to cramp in laughter. He continued. "Hahahaha… I…haha… I mean… ghosts? Do you seriously believe in them?"

"I'm dying of laughter over here" added Dark in the chair and grasped his abdomen. He continued to titter.

"Kyuu" smiled With from a bowl filled with strawberries. He had a small bowl of strawberry syrup to the left and a small plate with strawberry cream to his right. "Kyuu".

"Yes, I do believe in ghosts" said Satoshi calmly. He stared at Saehara. "It have happened too many unaccountably things in and around this mansion to make it impossible for me to say that I don't believe in ghosts".

The dinner had gone well; they were all full and the group was now to be found in the Lounge, a bright, cozy room without any windows on the second floor, almost above the main door. The lounges only furniture's were one circular table and a number of comfy chairs.

They had moved to that room for coffee or tea, and because of Krad's birthday was there a small food trolley placed beside one of the walls. The trolley was overfilled with cakes, gateaux, cookies and other kind of sweet things. With's bowls was already placed in the center of the table.

Sometime during the dinner had they started to discuss the topic ghosts and they continued the discussion in the lounge. Actually, it was generally five of them that chatted, but the other listened very interestedly and added some comments once in a while.

Riku had jumped off the topic with the statement: "That is just childishness!" Her sister agreed, but both twins' eyes shone with pleasure while hearing the shocking stories Daiki told them about ghosts and they seemed to inch closer to each other. Kosuke took it for an amusingly discussion and listened with a smile on his lips. Emiko was happy that her dad had found some friends that he could chat with, but did it have to be a SO crazy subject? And was it necessary for him to show this side to the HIKARI'S? Thiswas just embarrassing. With contribution to the discussion was some random kyuu's while chewing on his strawberries and Daisuke tried to support all of his friends in this bizarre situation.

"But it is true Saehara" pushed Krad in. "Science can't explain everything on this earth. There has to be something more unnatural".

"BWAHAHAHAHA" both Dark and Saehara guffawed. Dark continued: "No, don't tell me that you, Kraddykin, the most logical of all people, believes in ghost?"

"Do you actually believe in this kind of bullshit?" cried Saehara. "Ooo… my stomach". He fell off the chair and landed in a heap on the floor, trembling of laughter. Once again, he gave in to the temptation to laugh, even if it caused more pain to his abdomen.

"Hmm, maybe… "Added Emiko in a thwarting voice. "…Krad is a polite boy and maybe he doesn't mean it. Maybe both of them are supporting my crazy dad."

"Oh no, Emiko, I do believe in ghosts, absolutely". Stated Krad, this caused Dark and Saehara to snicker quietly due to the pain in their abdomens and shortage of oxygen caused by to intense movements in the stomach. Krad noticed this and continued:

"… and I can tell you why I believe in ghosts. You see… I've never told anyone except Satoshi this before, but… It all happened when I was eight year old. My five year older brother and I were home alone for the first time. Mom was carrying Satoshi so…" He made a wave with his hand. "Well, on with the story… As I said had our parents decided that we were old enough to stay home alone, without any nanny, while they went out celebrating… I can't recall what they were celebrating, but they had told us that they should be home late. So we went to bed around 22 pm, but for some reason were none of us able to sleep". Krad sighed. "During this time was it possible to go by a carriage pulled by one or two horses".

"I think you still can be able to find them at markets and stuff around here." said Satoshi quietly. Krad nodded and continued his story:

"My mother loved these carriages, and traveled with them as soon as she could, so we were not surprised when we heard the noises from a horse carriage that went up to our main door. We heard the horses whinny and paw the ground, and the gravell crack under the wheels of the carriage. When, everything became quiet. I remember that we looked on each other wondering what kept our parents so long. After ten minutes of silence couldn't my brother take it any more, he told me to wait in the bed and that he was going to check things out. He jumped out of his bed and went out from the room. Out from this room actually…" Krad took a deep breath and looked at a spot by the wall, everyone was quiet, the only thing that was heard was With's happy Kyuu's.

"That was the last time I saw my brother. I heard him walk down the stair, walk over the floor in the hall, open the main door and walk out on the graveled road. Then, did the silence return. After, maybe… five minutes heard I how the carriages started again and how the horses pulled the carriage down the road again". He stopped. "I'm sorry; this is hard for me…" He composed himself and continued: "I waited for my brother and my parents to walk inside, but… … … When my parents finally came home, they found me in the hall, hysterical, shrieking incoherently about my brother and carriages disappearing into the dark night". He took a sip from his cup. "They sent out patrols too look for my brother thinking it was just a prank and that my brother had ran away from home. You see, my dad always raked the graveled road every Friday evening so it would be tidy during the weekends, a tradition we have kept, and the carriage did not cause any marks in the gravell… they expanded the search when he didn't showed up. The police asked the neighbors and dragged the brook in the garden, but all in vain… My brother was and still is gone". He ended his story.

Not a sound was heard in the room, even With was quiet. And even if some tried to think of ways to see the logic in the old story did they respect Krad's silent request for some time alone.

It was in this silence they heard it, the tiny sound of horses and a carriage making its way over the graveled road to the mansion. They heard the noise grew stronger and stronger until the carriage turned to make its door face the main door of the mansion. The gravell cracked under the wheels and the horses snickered and the silence began once again…

Yeah, I like cliff hangers. No, actually I'm just hungry now, so I'm going to make myself dinner. Hope you like the story now when it has begun… Hope I will hear from you in the next chapters and please tell me what you feel about this story.

I don't know why I made Saehara SO odd, but he came out that way and I can't change that.

Yay! jumping round the room I got reviewers XD and the first chapter have only been up for one evening.
