Haunted

Fifth Haunting:

"Where do I put this?"

Krad turned around and closed the door; he shrugged and said, "Doesn't matter, just not on the bed, we're going to need somewhere to sleep, who would've thought that Dark would be afraid of the dark."

The blonde snickered, Dark huffed, "It's not my fault..."

"No one said it was your fault, it's just ironic."

Dark stuck his tongue out, he inhaled the vanilla scented air, it smelt so Krad-like, "That thing demolished my chocolate bar too."

Krad laughed, "You and your food addictions, you're such a pig Dark."

"I resent that!"

"Would you resent that if I told you I just bought a box of chocolate the other day."

Dark stopped, he was about to talk back but that comment made him go silent, "Oink, oink!"

The blonde just laughed again and headed into the kitchen, "Come here Dark Piggy, if you want chocolate."

The violet eyed boy ran into the kitchen, he didn't see the red eyes that watched them from the far wall down the hall.

Dark was stopped midway when a piece of chocolate was dangling in front of his face, a pair of elegant fingers held firmly onto the chocolate yet not too tight that the sweet would melt. Dark opened his mouth and the piece of chocolate dropped into his mouth, and he munched away happily on it.

"And what do you say..."

Instead of saying his thanks, he threw himself at the blonde and hugged him, "Thank you O mighty Krad! Now give me more chocolate before I eat you instead!"

Krad laughed and handed the box of chocolate to Dark, he didn't really like sweets with the exception of chocolate, especially white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. He followed the prancing Dark and sat down on the couch while Dark was munching away happily.

Then a piece of white chocolate was held out in front of him, "Here, before I finish the box off, it's vanilla, your favorite," Dark waved the piece of chocolate around, "you know you want it..."

"I'll bite your fingers off if you don't waving it around."

Dark stopped, and Krad ate out of his hands, Dark grinned, "Now who's the pig?"

"You are, you're the one who's eating the whole box."

He snorted, "Fine, oink oink, squeal squeal, I'm a pig."

Krad nodded, "Yea, you are, you just noticed?"

"You didn't have to agree with me."

The blonde shrugged, meaning that the argument was closed, and Dark kept on munching away on chocolates.

"You're going to get a stomachache if you keep on eating chocolates, and you won't be able to eat lunch."

Dark raised his head proudly, "That's what you think, remember? Me, Dark."

Krad rolled his eyes, "Right, right, I forgot, you, Dark Mousy, owner of the bottomless pit and stomach of steel."

Dark snorted, "What's for lunch?"

"You're still hungry?" Krad sweatdropped and shrugged, "I don't know, what do you-"

"Fajitas, or burritos, or tacos!"

"Only one."

"Umm...fajitas! I want burritos for dinner!"

"You are such a pig."

"And proud!"

Krad got up and headed to the kitchen to fulfill his friend's request for Mexican food, "Whatever."

The blonde looked around, something was amiss, he shrugged it off and grabbed a couple of fajitas from the fridge. Meh, too lazy to cook today. Krad headed back out to where Dark was waiting threw the fajita at him, Dark stared at for a moment before spazzing.

"What!? This is store bought!"

"So?"

"What do you mean so!?"

"So as in...so what?"

It was obvious that the blonde couldn't care less, Dark huffed and munched away. It didn't taste bad, so he asked for another one.

"Get it yourself, it's in the fridge."

"Fine be that way."

"I will."

"Ass..."

"Like you should be talking, pig."

"Ass."

"Pig."

"Ass."

"Pig."

"Ass."

"Stupid, I'm the one with the food here you pig."

"Damn it..."

Dark got up and walked into the kitchen, he grabbed a fajita and a can of pop, then he headed back out, Krad was munching on his fajita while With sat on his head kyu'ing him for strawberries, the blonde sighed.

"Hey Dark, since you're already up, grab some strawberries for With, they're on the counter."

"Lazy."

"Like you should be talking."

Dark went back into the kitchen and grabbed a handful of strawberries then headed out again, he saw a shadow move in the corner of his eye, he shrugged it off, it's got to be my imagination, there's no way that thing followed us here.

He started munching on his fajita and chugged down his pop, Dark glanced at Krad who set With down so the rabbit could eat his strawberries. The blonde looked at his friend then at the rabbit.

"Doesn't he eat anything besides strawberries? You know...most rabbits eat carrots and lettuce..."

Dark shrugged, "As far as I've known, he eats nothing but strawberries, and he never gets tired of them."

"He's been influenced by you hasn't he? He never gets full and always wants more."

"Is that suppose to be offensive?"

Krad shrugged.

"So...what are we going to do about that thing..."

"...we'll ask the Niwas for their help tomorrow and then they get rid of it, and everything will be back to normal."

Dark felt somewhat disappointed, "I see...you make it sound so simple."

"Do I?"

"Yea...you do."

They felt a breeze blow in the room, Dark shivered, "Is there an opened window or something?"

Krad shook his head, "It's pouring outside all the windows are closed."

"Then what was with that wind?"

The blonde shrugged again, he got up and headed for the room where his computer was, but he stopped midway, there were a pair of glowing red lights at the far wall. Krad stared at it, eyes wide, he couldn't move away, his body refused to listen, he just stood there. What the fuck!? I can't move...

Just then, "Krad, what's wrong with you?"

Krad snapped out of his trance and was able to move again, he turned around to see Dark looking at him with worried eyes, "It's nothing..."

Dark didn't look convinced, "Really?"

"Yea..."

"K..."

The blonde decided that he didn't feel like using the computer anymore. He headed back out and watched TV with Dark. It didn't last long, Krad felt himself drawn outside into the rain, where he once again, he saw the glowing lights, a force pushed him against the wall, but he was helpless to do anything, his body wasn't listening to him again. Suddenly, he felt something bite him a bit below the neck, and it had sharp teeth. The blonde managed to let out a sharp gasp as teeth sunk into his flesh.

Dark flipped through the channels, he looked around, no signs of the blonde anywhere, Dark got up and looked around, the front door was wide opened. He headed outside to see Krad pinned against the wall in the rain by something unseen, and he was bleeding around his collarbone.

"Krad!"

The unseen force let go of the blonde immediately, Krad stared at his friend with no recognization in his eye, Dark ran over just in time to catch his falling friend.

"Krad? Krad? You okay!?"

Krad mumbled something before losing his consciousness. The dark haired boy stared at his friend helplessly.

Krad! Please be okay...let's get you inside first, then stop the bleeding...ah shit, this is usually Krad's job! I'm going to screw up!

The other mental voice in his head scolded him; he's going to die if you don't hurry up!

Shut up! I know, I suck at first aid remember?

Just try to remember what Krad does when you get hurt.

Uhh...he'd drag me in then bandage me up?

...good enough! Now move your lazy ass before he dies!

Dark carried Krad onto the couch and grabbed the first aid kit, he looked at Krad's injury when all the blood was cleaned off. Looks like a bite mark...Dark shook his head, and started bandaging the injury.

"Kyu?"

Dark petted the rabbit, "I know, I know, I suck at this, don't rub it in."

--------------------------

Krad got up, he was wet, his neck felt like shit, he barely managed to sit upright, just then he heard someone talk to him, he whirled around only to hiss in pain.

"Whoa...calm down...it's only me..."

Golden eyes wandered to the speaker, "Dark..."

"Yea...at least you remember me."

"What? What happened?"

"I could ask you the same thing, I go looking for you to find you outside whammed up against the wall in the rain, and your neck was bleeding. Then when I reached you, you just stood there as though saying, "Who the fuck are you" then you fainted."

It took a moment for Krad to recollect what happened, "Something attacked me...then it went all blank...I'm wet..."

"You can't expect me to do EVERYTHING!"

Krad sighed, "No, I suppose I can't since you can hardly do anything at all, this is the first time you bandaged something right, I'm going to take a shower and then cook dinner k? It's dark already..."

Dark cheered, "You'd better make me extra!"

He heard Krad mumble, "Pig..."

At least he's back to normal.

Define normal.

Why do you keep talking to me!? Not to mention start arguments.

I'm you, you stupid.

Then you just called yourself stupid...

...damn you...

The other voice disappeared, and Dark stared at the hallway where Krad disappeared to, was he really back? Was he really the Krad that called him a pig when they first met?

----------------------------

The first day of school...

Dark looked around, new place, new faces, new people. He felt somewhat excited, although he wished he actually knew someone there, it felt awkward, and everyone tended to shy away, especially the girls. The amethyst eyed boy looked around the classroom, it was free time, the teacher needed a break from the whining requests for which book she should read out loud, then, something caught his attention.

It was a boy who simply sat there, head resting on his hand, giving a bored look, he made his way over to him with a grin on.

"Hi there! What's your name?"

The boy looked at him with his golden eyes, "Krad Hikari, isn't it rude to simply ask for someone's name without giving your own first?"

"Che, touchy, I'm Dark Mousy and don't you forget it!"

"You're a weird one..."

"Like you should be talking."

"What? You listen to-...is it just me or are all the girls staring at us?"

"It's not just you...they're sort of...scary when they stare at you like that...hey, you know there's a stairway that leads to the roof?"

"What about it?"

"We can eat lunch there!"

"...and I should come because..."

Dark muttered under his breath, "Brat..."

"Hm?"

"It's either the roof or you stay here and be watched by all these scary girls."

"...you brought up quite a good point...fine...the roof."

"Yea!"

"...how are we going to ditch the girls?"

"...we run?"

"Is that all you could think of?"

"Yea, pretty much..."

"I see..."

Finally, when lunch time came by, the pair darted up the stairs and onto the roof, and sat down.

"Good plan huh?"

They panted, Krad caught his breath and said, "Define good."

"Hey, the girls didn't catch up to us."

"Neither did my breath."

"Mine's still down there too, this is good exercise."

"If I wanted exercise, I'd run around the track."

Dark shrugged, this guy was simply...Krad. The blonde took his lunch out and started eating, he looked at Dark who stared at him.

"Aren't you going to eat lunch?"

"Err...I forgot mine! Now I'm going to starve to death!" He pouted.

Krad rolled his eyes and handed Dark half of his sandwich, "You're exaggerating, here, you're just lucky that I'm not that hungry today."

"Really!? Thank you! You're the best friend a Dark could have!" Dark jump- hugged Krad, maybe having a friend that was Krad-like wouldn't be so bad after all...

The blonde struggled, "Who said I was your friend? I'm just not hungry. Now get off me!"

Dark grinned and let the blonde go, "Really now...oh well, lunch is still lunch! Itadakimasu!"

Krad just kept on eating, as the other boy gulped down his sandwich, "This is great! Did you make it yourself!?"

The blonde nodded, "Yea, so what if I did?"

"You should try cooking other stuff more! You're a natural at cooking aren't you!?"

Krad blushed a little, "Betsuni."

"No point in being modest! But if it makes you want to keep on cooking big lunches, I have no problem with that!"

"Pig..."

"Ass."

"Pig."

"Ass."

"Pig."

"Ass."

"Pig."

"Ass."

----------------------------------------

"Pig."

"Ass."

"Pig."

"Ass."

"Pig."

"Ass."

"Baka, who's the person who's actually cooking?"

"It's not my fault I can't cook."

"No extras for you."

"But...but..."

"No buts either, I'm already cooking more for you so don't complain."

"Fine be that way."

"I will."

Dark felt like hugging the blonde, but that'd result in spilling hot stuff all over themselves, and the kitchen.

"Hey Krad..."

"Yea?"

"Remember the first day of kindergarten?"

"The day when you came up with the brilliant plan to ditch the girls by running to the roof? Yea, what about it?" Krad set down the pot and looked at Dark with a curious look.

Dark took the opportunity, with Krad's hands empty, he glomped the blonde taking his breath away and his balance, they both fell over.

"Dark...get off me."

The amethyst eyed boy just grinned in he crook of the unbandaged side of Krad's neck and shook his head, he inhaled the sweet scent of vanilla as he spoke, "Not until you hug me back!"

Krad sighed, not knowing what was wrong with his friend, he wrapped his arms around Dark and hugged him back, they stayed in that position for several moments longer then they had to, then Krad asked him, "Is that good enough? Can I go back to cooking dinner now?"

Dark smiled and nodded, he climbed off Krad and sat down to watch the blonde cook.

"Kyu, kyu?"

Dark looked down at With who was bouncing cheerfully, "I'm guessing that's a give me strawberries kyu?"

"Kyu!"

"Is that a yes?"

With jumped up and down, "Kyu, kyu!"

Dark laughed and grabbed a couple of strawberries from the fridge, "Here you go."

He lowered one slowly down so With received it like it was something sent from god, the second he took it in his paws, he munched away. Dark laughed, but then a plate with a burrito on it was set down in front of him, he too munch away.

It was Krad's turn to laugh, "I see just how much you and With influence each other."

The two ate flinging comments back and forth to each other, "I remember when you use to have manners."

"You do? I don't."

"...I don't think you ever had manners..."

"Ha! So you're wrong!"

"...why'd you hug me back there?"

Dark shrugged, "'Cause I felt like it?"

"That's not a reason."

"That's reason enough for me."

Krad sighed in defeat, they finished their dinner and headed for bed, the blonde wrapped his arms around Dark while Dark snuggled closer. All thoughts of the attack fled from their minds. Suddenly, Krad's eyes opened, they were glowing dull blue and trance-like as he unwrapped his arms from Dark and headed out to the hallway, there he met glowing red eyes once again, they moved closer as the clock struck 3:30.
