Haunted
Chapter 5: Convince the Leader…
"Aya? What… are you doing here?" Omi's surprise shown through his eyes clearly.
"You were gone for a long time." Aya said in monotone.
It appeared that Aya's hair was still wet from a shower. That wasn't smart of him, Ken thought. It was just stupid, out in this cold weather? Ken's eyes sharpened in seriousness at the redhead.
"We aren't going trick-or-treating." Ken watched Aya's reaction and came up with nothing.
"We aren't?" Yohji stared at Ken in exasperation, "What's with the costumes then?"
"Lets' go outside." Aya said without any room for protesting. They eventually obeyed and slipped out of the store, Yohji waving to the cashier with his lady-killer smile.
"But it's cold outside," Omi wrapped his coat around him tighter and glanced at Aya, "Aren't you freezing?"
It took Aya a minute to realize that Omi was actually talking to him, his frozen eyes shifted over to the chibi.
"Hn."
"We're going to go to a Haunted House." Ken stated, a wide smile etching his features.
"Awesome!" Omi's eyes brightened if it was possible.
"It's fine with me."
"Aya?" Ken looked at their leader pleadingly.
"A Haunted…House?" Aya blinked, his eyes widening slightly. He shivered move and wrapped his arms around his pale, frail-looking body.
"Haven't you ever been to one?" Ken asked.
"No." Aya stared at the ground; it wasn't true. He had gone with Aya-chan before when they used to going trick-or-treating together even in high school. They used to get bags and bags of candy that Aya-chan and he usually finished in weeks. Now he was in an awkward position and he wanted to escape. He turned away from them and headed in the direction where he parked his car.
"Aw come on Aya; don't be a party-pooper!" Yohji whined after the retreating redhead. Aya stopped dead in his tracks and spun around with the saddest look in his icy blue eyes that Yohji had ever seen. Aya turned to go once again. The playboy withdrew, glancing at Ken for help, instead Omi spoke.
"Aya. Remember the mission the other day with that maniac killer? The mission we declined because there was almost no information?" Omi smirked when he got the "human ice cube" to turn around again. Aya normally wouldn't care in the slightest, but he had gotten himself into this mess.
"Yes."
"Well, I dug up a little more information on the guy and I found out that he usually kidnaps the people from more of the secluded and more complex haunted houses."
"Hn," Aya waited for more.
"Will you go just to check it out? We'll be going for fun, but also we can check out the places for any sign of that kidnap-killer."
"Fine." Aya couldn't disagree with an explanation like that, plus Aya hated turning down missions.
"I'll contact Manx and tell her," Omi muttered.
"Remember we're going to have a good time too," Ken smiled.
"Right!" Omi smiled back.
"You got it." Yohji ruffled Omi's hair.
"This better be worth it." Aya muttered.
