Haunted

Seventh Haunting:

Having no sleep and being hunted by some monster thing was enough to make anyone grumpy and insanely sleepy. When the three of them walked out of the house and headed for school, Daisuke could be seen walking like a normal to Dark and Krad who were either half asleep of sleepwalking no one could tell. Weekends ended too fast, it was too early for school.

Daisuke chirped, "I hear you guys are voting for class president today."

"Yea..." Krad yawned.

"Krad's going to win...again."

"Why? Why don't you be a candidate Dark-kun?"

"He's banned from being nominated because of his lack of listening skills, lack of time awake in class, lack of being punctual, lack of respect and you get the point."

"Wow, when did that happen?"

"Like...eight years ago."

"Hey Krad..."

"Yea?"

"What's this year's play going to be?"

"How should I know? I don't think they've decided yet."

"Oh..."

The two yawned again, "Hiwatari-kun! Ohayou!"

The blue haired boy looked up, "Niwa, ohayou."

Then he spotted the other two and shot the redhead a questioning look, "It's a long story..."

"I see, is that why they look like the living dead right now?"

"Shut up creepy boy!"

"I have a name."

"And that would be creepy boy!"

"Urusai!"

Ah yes, it was as though nothing had changed.

A couple of years ago, it normal day like any other, Krad walked up the stairs to the roof, the sanctuary, where no fangirl goes. Dark padded up with a grin on his face.

"Hey Krad guess what!?"

"You brought your own lunch for once?"

"No, I'm hungry, anyways, Dai-chan's eat up here too!"

"Who?"

"Dai-chan."

"Dark...I don't know people by the nicknames you call them."

"Dark-kun!"

"There you are!"

A redhead stepped onto the roof with a smile on his face, "Hi, you must be Krad-kun, Dark-kun says a lot about you."

"Is that so..." The blonde raised a brow and looked at Dark.

"Krad!!!"

"I'm Daisuke Niwa, hajimemashite."

The kid had manners Krad had to admit that, "Krad Hikari."

"Oh Dark-kun, my friend is coming, do you mind."

"Don't care! Krad, I want lunch!"

"Niwa..."

"Hiwatari-kun, you're here!"

Daisuke had a thing with putting "kun" after every name, the boy that just entered had light blue hair with glasses, no smile or trace of a smile on his face.

"Satoshi Hiwatari."

Very, very straightforward and blunt, Krad introduced himself for the second time, "Krad Hikari."

Satoshi looked at Krad, they engaged in a staring contest where they looked bored but they were actually glaring at each other to some extent. The younger boy looked away from the blonde's golden eyes.

"Who's the idiot over there?"

Dark glared at Satoshi, "Idiot!? Who's an idiot!? You brat..."

The blue haired boy remained unfazed, Krad sighed, but Daisuke smiled and added some facts about his friend, "Hiwatari-kun actually graduated from college but wanted to go to school like a normal person so yea."

Dark ran and hid behind Krad holding the blonde's shoulders as though using him as a human shield, Krad just looked bored and sighed.

The dark haired boy stuck his head out from behind Krad, "He's creeeepy! Creepy I say!"

Satoshi asked Daisuke, "What are they? Lovers?"

The two blushed, "Hey shut up creepy boy! I bet you're turned on by Dai-chan!"

The other two blushed, "U-urusai!"

"Make me!"

"Dark..."

"Krad!"

"No I'm not taking sides, I just want to eat lunch."

"But you barely eat!"

"No because you eat for me."

"That still means you don't eat!"

"I'm not that hungry."

"That's what you say every time!"

"Are you two done fighting?"

"Shut up creepy boy, keep yourself and Dai-chan occupied!"

"Urusai!"

They reached class just in time for attendance, right after that the teacher asked the class, "Is there anyone who would like to nominate a person except for Dark Mousy for class president?"

The students raised their hands, the teacher looked over at Dark, "Dark?"

"I nominate Krad."

The students put their hands down, Krad groaned it was way too early to be voted for president.

The teacher scratched his head, "Is there anyone else who'd like to try out...or be vice president?"

A girl raised her hand, the teacher smiled, "Okay, you'll be vice president, now that we've got that out of the way. After lunch, we'll decide what play to perform for the festival next week, and now it's time for physical education, unfortunately it's raining so we'll be using the indoor pool."

There were cheers and groans and snores, the class all got up and headed for the door. Krad got up and shook Dark.

"Dark, wake up! You were awake two minutes ago!"

Dark snored in return.

"It's lunch time!"

Dark woke up, "Lunch seriously!?"

"No."

"Krad! That's mean!"

"The teacher's going to be meaner if we don't get to the indoor pool in...five minutes."

They ran out the door.

By the time they got to the pool, everyone was ready to swim, Krad yawned, it was too early for swimming. They were in their swimming trunks and walked over to join the rest of the class.

"Today, you will swim five lanes each then get free time."

Great...five lanes, it was too early for getting wet and then go frolicking in water. After completing the first task, Krad sat around dipping his feet and yawned again. Dark swam over to him.

"Why aren't you swimming."

"It's too early for swimming."

"After this is lunch."

"It's too early for lunch too."

"Psh, that's just insane."

"It's too early to be insane."

"At least swim a little."

"Fine, I'll go dive."

"I'll come."

By the time Krad actually got to the top of the platform with Dark beside him, he felt ready to fall asleep on his feet. The blonde decided that he didn't want to dive but too bad Dark had different thoughts. The dark haired boy saw something, stepped backwards, slipped and lost his balance which tipped him over the platform, he grabbed the closest thing out of pure instinct, and Krad just so happened to be the nearest thing.

"Wha? Whoa-"

Krad's eyes widened as they fell into the water with a splash, luckily the platform allowed two people to dive at a time so they didn't break any rules, hell, the teacher didn't even seem to notice them or the fact that they both just landed in the water. Krad was swimming towards the surface, but something grabbed his leg and pulled him down, he turned around and kicked whatever it was with his free leg. Finally after another attempt, the thing grabbing him let go but not without clawing at his leg first and the blonde swam to the ledge and climbed out coughed.

"What took you?"

"Something grabbed my leg."

They looked at his leg, there was a big red rash there shaped like a hand or a claw, Dark climbed out.

"Whoa, you okay?"

"Am I alive?"

"Yes."

Krad groaned, "It's too early for this."

Dark's hair was clinging to his forehead, "It's too early for everything."

The blonde brushed the dripping wet strands away from his eye, "It's too early for you to pull me into the water too."

"Sorry bout that."

"Hn." His ponytail hung limply and was dripping wet.

"I think that Kuro-kaze thing is here."

"What?"

"I swear, I saw it right under the platform."

"Has lack of sleep made you delusional?"

"You know it's real and possible. I bet it was the thing that grabbed you leg too, see, five claws or fingers and the second one's the shortest. It's just like when it scratched me."

"Yea, so?"

"I still don't get how you can stay so insanely calm about that."

"I still don't get why you pulled me along with you off the platform."

Dark laughed nervously, Krad glared, the whistle blew, time for lunch. The pair changed and went to the roof, Daisuke and Satoshi were waiting for by the door to the roof.

"There's no fucking way I'm going to eat my lunch or actually sit outside in the rain."

It was too early for smartass comments from Satoshi too, "Fine, we'll just eat here then."

Dark and Krad didn't eat, they fell asleep in the same position they were in on the roof around half a week ago, by the time class started Daisuke looked at Satoshi.

"Hiwatari-kun...should we wake them up?"

"Nah, let them sleep, let's go."

"...okay..."

Who was it that said you snooze you lose? Well whoever it was sure was right. Krad woke up, they were inside by the door to the roof, and late for class.

"Shit! Dark wake up already!"

Dark mumbled and ignored him.

"Dark, there's chocolate downstairs!"

"What!?"

"Nothing, come on...let's go finish the last fifteen minutes of class."

"Oh...what about it?"

"What do you mean what about it?"

Dark sighed and got up, "Fine, fine let's go. I swear I heard you say chocolate though..."

"What are you talking about!? I said no such thing!"

"Okay...but I still want chocolate."

They reached the classroom door, it seemed quiet, too quiet. Krad opened the door, inside the students all had smiles on their faces as they turned around.

"CONGRATULATIONS ROMEO AND JULIET!"

Krad stared, "What...the"

Dark gaped, "...fuck..."

"No swearing in class Dark Mousy!"

On the board there had obviously been a voting thing going on, under Juliet, were a lot of boy names, under Romeo, even more boy names. Krad's name was circled under Juliet and had the number twenty-five beside it, Dark's name was circled with a nineteen, it was a close race between him and Kaze Tsujimura who was off only by four votes. Dark couldn't believe it, he almost lost the role to Kaze! Evil, evil bastard.

He glared at Kaze, Kaze glared back obviously not happy with losing. Krad didn't notice either of them, he was still too busy gawking at the board. It was too early to be voted for Juliet. He walked over to the vice president.

"What happened?"

"Oh, Krad-san, sensei told me to get on with the voting since he didn't want to wait."

"And the class voted Romeo and Juliet."

"Yes."

"Isn't Juliet a girl?"

"Yes."

"Then explain."

"We wanted to make it unique, and last year the class that play "Ice and Snow" attracted a lot of people by having all male actors so we thought we'd try it out."

"And I ended up being Juliet."

"Yes, and Dark-kun's Romeo, it was nearly Kaze-kun but this is the way it ended up."

She flashed him one of those smiles, the smile that girls smiled when saying 'that's final, if you disagree with me you'll be sorry.'

Krad looked at his friend and the glaring Kaze, Kaze had grayish brown hair that past shoulder length by quite a bit and tied up in a ponytail although usually left untied, blue eyes, charming smile, and didn't talk all that much. And there he was glaring at Dark and Dark glared back. The blonde sighed and turned around facing the vice president again.

"I'm guessing you'll be directing this."

"You bet! We even have the basic scripts done, here's a copy."

"Thanks..."

The teacher who appeared to be sleeping stood up from his desk and dismissed the class, Dark grabbed his copy of the rough copy of the play and headed out after Krad.

"Hey Juliet wait up!"

Krad kept on walking.

"Krad!"

Finally, the blonde turned around, obviously annoyed, "Call me Juliet one more time and I will personally rip you to shreds."

"It's just a play."

"You want to trade roles?"

"No thanks."

Krad sighed, "Why me..."

"Because you're pretty?"

"You sound like a little kid Dark."

"Hidoi! You have long hair too!"

The blonde snorted, "And they picked you to be Romeo?"

"Hey I can be damn cool when I want to be."

"Is that why you almost lost to Kaze?"

Dark paused, "Almost, but I didn't now did I?"

"That doesn't change the fact that you almost lost."

"Look on the bright side..."

"What bright side?"

"You're suppose to be the smart one here...oh I got it, Dai-chan had to be a girl last year."

"And that's suppose to make me feel better?"

"Stop asking hard questions!"

"You started it, Romeo."

"Hey, it's either me or Kaze kissing you, it's your choice."

Krad smirked, time to tease Dark, "What if I choose Kaze?"

Dark stared at him, "What!?"

The blonde laughed, "Joking, joking. What happened to the super cool Romeo act?"

Dark snorted as a response, he couldn't stand the thought of Kaze kissing Krad, his Krad. Only he was allowed to steal the blonde's kisses. Yes he was jealous, he wished the Kuro-kaze had mashed Kaze to the wall instead of what's his face.

"Are you done pouting?"

"No."

Krad shrugged, "Okay."

By the time they reached Daisuke's house their shoes were wet inside and out. As they went in, the Niwa went out, Emiko looked back from under Kosuke's umbrella while Daisuke and his grandpa kept on walking.

"Dark, Krad, we're going out tonight so take care!"

Daisuke turned back and waved at the two dripping wet boys just staring at them.

"...sooo...now what?"

"Can we get some dry clothes first, this isn't exactly the most comfortable thing in the world."

"Kay, then what?"

"Then..." Krad shrugged, "doesn't matter."

"I'll remember that!"

"Crap..."

So they changed and the first thing Dark wanted to do was, "I'm hungry! I wanna eat! We didn't even have lunch today!"

"No."

"But Krad you're the one who said doesn't matter!"

Krad cursed his carelessness and headed to the kitchen.

"Then after that let's watch a movie!"

"Hey don't I get to pick something to do?"

"You got first picks already!"

"What!?"

Dark pouted and Krad sighed, "What's after the movie."

The violet-eyed boy stopped and looked up, "Ummm....we could go over the script?"

"Whatever, what movie are we going to watch?"

"Whatever's on TV."

By the time they started flipping through channels, the only movie on was a horror movie. They sat on the couch and watched it in the dark, about half way through, Dark found himself clinging to Krad and the blonde was just looking bored and was still watching the movie. One part near the end was so freaky it even made Krad jump a bit, Dark squeaked and buried his head into the crook of Krad's neck making the blonde blush and hold his breath.

"Krad?"

"Yea?"

"How about we go over the script now?"

"Whatever."

Dark got off Krad and walked to their drenched backpacks.

"It's wet, but I think we can still read it."

"Since when did you read? I didn't even know you could read."

Dark snorted and tossed a script to Krad and started flipping through his own.

"Let's see here...boring talking part, dancing part, another talking part, kissing part, talking part, killing part, talking part, getting married part, more talking part, whoa, a making out part, then a fake death part, more talking parts, the dying part, the mourning part and the last talking part and it's over. Wow, and I always that Romeo and Juliet had a happy ending where everyone lived happily ever after."

"Kyu?"

"I'm...going to go get With some strawberries."

"Kay, god I can't believe they're going to make us memorize all this! They're evil!"

In the background a radio turned itself on making Dark yelp, "What the hell's that!?"

Krad rolled his eyes, "In this world we call that a radio."

"Why did it turn on by itself!?"

"Probably an alarm or something, I think you've been watching way too much horror movies, time for bed mister."

"I won't be able to sleep."

"Fine, don't sleep just don't keep me awake or I'll kick you out and into another room."

They went to bed, but Dark suddenly woke up, he glanced at the clock, three fifteen in the morning, Krad wasn't around, where the hell was his pillow!? He yawned and headed downstairs, there was Krad putting his jacket on, ready to head out the door.

Dark asked in a harsh whisper, "Where the hell do you think you're going!?"

Krad whirled around, "Someone's in danger."

"What!?"

"Shut up! Don't wake them up!"

"Who the fuck would be in danger at this hour!?"

"You going to come or not?"

"Yea...but you owe me big time."

"You can pick lunch tomorrow."

Dark perked up as he put his jacket on, "Deal, so where are we going?"

"I'm not sure, but I know the way."

"There's something on the other side of the door..."

Krad rolled his eyes and flung open the door, "Take a look for yourself."

Dark tensed up, eyes widened, he pointed to the door and squeaked, "K-Krad?"

The blonde looked at the door, his eyes widened too as he looked up, standing there in the rain was the Kuro-kaze.
