The ghost carriage.
Chapter 4
The dark figure saw Satoshi stand by the window; it assumed that he was looking after the car by the muffled sounds of cars driving away that passed through the glass. Satoshi walked away. The shadow toke a look on the written note left by the bluenette and put it back on the table, visible for the servants that would be back in the morning and followed the boy. When Satoshi stood in the doorframe to his bed room, a hand fell down on his shoulder; he froze and was gently turned around by a grey shadow…
"Bastard! You almost scared the hell out of me…" Satoshi spat out. He looked at the dark figure that had started to chuckle very low. "I'm going to take a shower and you need one too…"
"As far as I remember; there is no shower inside your room…" the dark figure opened its mouth for the first time.
Satoshi sighed. "No, I need to… I don't know. Just go to the shower."
The grey figure giggled softly but obeyed.
Daisuke and company dropped off Saehara at his home:
"He wasn't anywhere, but he couldn't have gone anywhere either… Bye, thanks for the ride, but if he couldn't have gone anywhere, how could he not bee anywhere…" Saehara disappeared into his home and Kosuke drove home. When they came home they had to drag the still passive Dark out from the car, into the house and all the way to his bed. After that was done could the other ones head for their beds and be able to try to get some sleep.
The following morning was Dark mourning his golden haired friend, lying on the sofa with With on his abdomen. Daisuke, sitting beside Dark, tried to fit his world into one there a friend could just… disappear.
"Breakfast" sung Emiko.
"Mrghfthh…" came Dark's whimper.
"Come on Dark, nothing will be better if you don't eat" Daisuke tried to cheer up his friend.
"Nnnh…" But eventually, Dark gave up his display a la coverlet and followed Dai-chan to the kitchen and poked in his bowl of cereals. The rest of the family sat down and ate, it was calm and only the regular noises were to be heard. Like bread being dropped to the floor, spoons hitting the porcelain, With munching on his strawberries, pages turning in the morning paper, birds chirping, Daiki guzzling on his tea and so on…
"HA! I GOT IT!" everybody eeped and started to stare at Dark, who was the source to the statement. He smiled.
"What?" asked Dai-chan.
"One of the servants saw Krad, but because they are faithful to him did they play along when he asked them to not scream wolf." Dark smiled to the rest around the table, not noticing their doubtful faces. It knocked on the door and Daiki rose up to answer it.
"Dark" said Kosuke. "I, Emiko and Daisuke were all in the same group as the servants. We checked the same room and we would have heard if some of them would talk to anyone."
"But you didn't check the same wardrobes did you?"
"… No."
"See, mine point exactly, it is so simple to just put up a finger in front of your lips and the servant could just have nodded… or closed the door again or…"
sigh "Dark…"
"Come on, I can prove it. Let's go back to the mansion now. I bet Krad and Satoshi are sitting by the breakfast table and laughing at us. Come on…"
"Yes can we?" A small, hesitant voice rang out from the door frame. Everyone turned around.
"Haranda-san? What are you two doing here?" Emiko was surprised.
"We are feeling guilty and sorry for Satoshi. But we don't have the nerves to go back just us two… so…"
"Yes?" Emiko was amused. Kosuke smiled, seeing what favour the twins wanted to ask for.
"Well, we kind of wondered if maybe you would have the kindness to follow us to the mansion again." Riku blurted out, blushing.
"You don't have to, don't feel pressured or anything. We know it is very rude to come at this hour and…" Risa, equally red in her face, drifted off.
"… And not having called first…" added Riku.
"Yeah, we're going!" Dark walked out from the kitchen before anyone could stop him, put on his shoes, jumped into the car and started to wait on a driver.
Now, the Niwas tried to both polite yell at Dark for his rudeness while on the other hand convince the twins that they were not to blame and it was perfectly alright to go. After half an hour had everyone found their shoes, jackets and stuff, the breakfast was put away, all the apologies was blurted out over and over and was accepted repeatedly. Riku was convinced by Emiko that she should come with them to the mansion and not to hide under her bed…
Hmmm? Author reads her papers… ah!
After 30 minutes had everyone done what they wanted to do, and jumped into their cars. Daiki rode with the twins to calm them down, repeating that everything was fine. They started to drive to the country again. Emiko drove first and Riku followed shortly after. They passed after a while through the gates that surrounded the Hikari mansion. They parked at the same place as they did before and walked the small road up to the main door. Dark stepped up on the marble board that lay outside the door and knocked. After a little while was the sounds of approaching feet's to be hear and the door cracked open.
"Yes? How may I help…?" Mr Aitik started but was interrupted by Dark.
"Satoshi, where is he?"
"But Sir! You can't…"
"I said; where's Satoshi" Dark took the poor butler by the collar and forced his way into the mansion.
"The dining room. But I must say; this is NOT a proper way to visit people, sir"
Dark let go of the butler and let Daiki and the twins calm down the displease butler. The rest of the… err…'visitors' tried in vain to calm down Dark, but the later made his way to said room and slung the door open, startling the group of people inside the room.
"AHA!" Dark said and pointed at… Satoshi and four servants. "Oh…"
Yes, inside the dining room was Satoshi in his dressing gown, sitting by the table with a cup of tea and four servants doing what they usually did this time on the day. Satoshi lifted his eyes from the morning paper when Dark stormed in. Dark, Emiko, Kosuke and Daisuke walked up to the still quiet Satoshi (quiet, but not happy).
"What? Why are you here? How come… when did?" Satoshi drifted off; Mr. Aitik came also in and started to explain:
"I'm so sorry young Master, they just forced themselves in. I couldn't stop them." Satoshi nodded and shut him off with a wave of his hand, looking at his… hmm… 'visitors'.
"Calm down now." Said Dark
"DON'T you know what a PHONE is?" Satoshi asked in a very cold voice.
"I said calm DOWN. Where's Krad?"
"How should I know?"
--- Cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti ---
"Well I thought that you only joked yesterday and that one…" Dark continued his theory about Krad's kidnapping, giving dark leer's to the servants in the room and would probably receive equally dark leers from them if that wasn't against the servants code/rules/ whatever… The Niwa's tried to take the sting out from the criticism, but the staff heard it…
--- cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti ---
"How rude, sir!" Mr. Aitik defended himself and the staff. "We didn't know that Mr. Hikari was missing until you came into the kitchen!"
--- Cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti clop… NIIIEEEHHHEEEIIRRRRMMM… crsch crsch…---
Everybody in the small room froze, realizing what they had been hearing the last minute.
"Oh hello." Risa's gentle voice rang into the room.
"Hi." Riku giggled. "Come with you? Okay. Ti hi."
They heard the twins walk out on the gravel and the carriage started again.
--- Snort… crsch… clop clop cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti ---
Satoshi got up from his chair and started to walk to the door.
--- cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti ---
But when he came to the door frame was it blocked by Daiki's shape.
"Have you seen the twins?" Satoshi asked.
"No, I was at the bathroom… why?"
"Listen"
--- cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti cloppeti…---
The sound died out and so did Daiki's healthy face colour… They ran out, only to find nothing. There was no chance to try to find any marks due to the search yesterday.
"No not again." started Satoshi.
"Hell no, you had your angsty moment yesterday, today is mine turn" pointed Dark out. He looked down and flushed a bit "…and besides if I hadn't forced my way to this house again. Then maybe the twins would be aright now. This IS my fault."
"Well, it's no use to check through the mansion or the garden; they couldn't have got that far. And these sirs do not trust us." Mr. Aitik said in a hurt voice. But behind him was servants busy checking through the wardrobes and other areas to girls could hide in.
Dark looked at him, confused and then became his vision shady. He heard Emiko yell his name before he lost consciousness and fell into the dark.
Kosuke grabbed Dark before the young man hit the ground, lifted him up bridal style and looked at the other.
"Come here." Satoshi said. "We can put him on Krad's bed." He turned to Mr. Aitik. "And you continue to search. We must find the girls."
Mr. Aitik bowed. "Yes Sir."
They walked up to the second floor and to Krad's room to put Dark on said bed. As far as Daisuke could see no one had slept in the bed. The sheet was as tidy as the coverlet, nothing was out of place. Nothing showed that this room had been scanned yesterday…
Yes… nothing showed that the room had been scanned the day before… how come? Satoshi did not clean it. Maybe it was the dark shadow in the beginning, and where is that figure now? And what will happen to the twins and Kraddykin, will they come back? So many questions and so little time… Review people or I will let you all wait in vain for the end… MUAHAHAHA… no, I'm not that evil…
Blzace5 Yes… and what will happen to the twins? The nasty surprise for Dark have only started yet. He, fainting, is just the beginning… giggle XD But don't worry, I think that next chapter will be the last and all the questions will be answered… maybe… just maybe…
Timetill: What will happen? Satoshi and the dark shadow will come back, and Dark, well… I feel sorry for him XD The twins on the other hand… hahaha… err… em, yes. But, Daiki will start laughing, that's for sure…
UnIQuE Not Weird: You know what will happen? Oh please tell me… or have you read my papers? Guards papers with the Ending. But don't worry; all will come out into the light in the next chapter, even the fate of Krad's brother … hihihi.
dimonyo-anghel: I want Kraddy back too… his my favorite, I still can't believe I lost him in the second chapter… hit my head in the desk. But don't worry; we will see him again… sort of… yeah.
Hakudoshi-chan: Yeah, I couldn't be only bad to the laughing couple, so I let them pry through all the rooms. And they liked it… oh yea… so with this chapter I can go back to my regular evil, twisted me again… XD Dark will find out what happened to Krad and the twins but Saehara won't…
