Chapter Three

Ice Cold

When Daisuke looked at his paper, once he was in his room, he read the name of his roommate for the weekend. Satoshi Hiwatari. Just great. That was just what he needed.

Sighing heavily, he looked out the window. This was the hotel part of the Hall, and down below him was a swiming pool, where he saw most of the girls in his class.

Where's the chick with the hair?

Don't ask me. I'm going down though.

No, let me.

What are you talking about?

"Easy, I found out I can separate from your body."

Looking in front of him, Daisuke saw that Dark was right. They were both standing side-by-side. This had to be the strangest thing ever.

"One problem." said Dark.

"What?"

"After about four hours, I have to be back in your body. Or I fade away. Nearly did the first time." he said as he scratched the back of his neck.

"Ok, in four hours, we'll be right here so we can fix this."

"Good, but right now, I'm going swimming." Dark grinned and ran off through the door.

Muri looked around at the pool and saw all her new class mates. Satoshi was still in getting his things sorted out, but she didn't care. She was only with his family because her mother and his father had been talking.

Mainly about the two of the carrying on the family names. Not to mention they were both cursed. But her's was different. She didn't change into a theif, or killer, or psycho path. No, she was what she was, never changing body.

Only adding.

"Hey Muri!" shouted Risa.

Muri had sat next to her on the bus, but hadn't really spoken with her. She wasn't the talkative type. But she had noticed the looks she got from guys, and the ones Risa got.

So, she had decided to hang with her. Sighing, she walked over to Risa wearing her black towel wrapped around her hip, and showing off her silver top.

"Hey Risa. What's up?"

"About to swim, want to?"

"Why not?"

Muri undid her towel, only to turn when she heard someone behind her. Looking up, she looked into dark purple eyes and a cocky grin.

"Shall I take your towel?" Dark grinned.

"No, I'm fine."

Muri tossed the towel onto one of the chairs and started to walk towards the water. Then, she noticed that Risa was staring at the guy, and cocked her head to the side.

"Are you going to take a picture or are we going swimming?"

Quickly, Risa turned to look at Muri, then back at Dark. She loved Dark, but she wanted to welcome Muri nicely.

"Can I swim with you too?" Dark asked.

"Why not?" Muri said with a shrug.

She turned, giving them her back, and entered the water. It was warm and just right. But she heard Risa scream from the chill.

"What's wrong?" she swam up to her.

"It's freezing." she whinned.

"You'll be fine. It'll warm up." she smiled/ fake.

To be honest, she was glad the girl was whimping out. So far, she didn't like her. Too whiney. She wouldn't make it in the real world.

"Ok, but only if Dark swims too."

"I said I was going to swim didn't I?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'm going to swim." he said, shooting Muri a longing look.

And even under that look, she felt the water warm, but she tried to remain cold, ice cold.
