Haunted

Twelfth Haunting:

Everyone in the class stopped talking and stared at Dark. Krad blinked, a strand of hair fell across his face. He pushed it away from his eyes, "Dark?"

The director snorted, "What now? Why couldn't you scream like that at the last practice? And now you do for no good reason too!"

Dark's mind was trying to comprehend whatever was happening without much success, so he grabbed the blonde and pulled him into the change room. A minute later, the classroom went back to normal. The violet haired boy began to change, as did the blonde who pulled out the dress and snorted in disgust, "So why'd you scream?"

"Kaze…"

"What about him? I swear there's a war going on between you two."

"He's-necklace-horrid!"

Krad blinked, "What? Calm down and speak in short, comprehendible sentences."

Dark inhaled, "Kaze," His friend nodded, "has a necklace," Krad nodded again, "and oh my god it's just like creepy boy's holy crap this isn't good I don't want to work with him no, no, no, this is a nightmare, wake up! Wake up! Goddamn it this can't be true, he can't be one of them what's it called-elements, damn it, damn it, damn it-"

"Dark!" He stopped and stared at the blonde, "Did you just say that Kaze's one of the elements, one of the ones that we were looking for or were supposed to look for?"

"Yes-no-I mean yes but still…"

"Dark!"

The boy whimpered, "Yes…"

"And you're sure?"

"Yes…"

"Alright…" Dark tugged the blonde's hair as he tried to get out, "What now?"

"It's either change back or change completely."

Krad looked down, he had taken his shirt off, he sighed and slipped the dress on, "Why me?"

"You look feminine enough."

"Stop brining that up."

"But it's true!"

There was a moment of silence, "Dark?"

"Yea?"

"Help me walk, these shoes are killing me."

"If you keep this up, you'll end up crippled."

"I realized that and it's not a reassuring thought."

"But on the plus side you look pretty."

"Just help me and shut up like a good human crutch."

Dark grumbled and obeyed, together, they hobbled out of the change room, once outside, Dark, the human crutch nearly dropped his crutch-ee while receiving a glare from his rival for being the crutch of the object of his affection which just so happened to be his crutch-ee that he nearly dropped. Krad winced, stupid shoes, if he were to grow up rich and powerful he'd ban high heels forever. Dark growled under his breath, Krad just rolled his eyes, "I'll talk to him later alright? I'll spare you of the duty."

He shrugged, he was more paranoid about leaving the blonde alone with Kaze than talking to him. "No, that's alright."

Krad shrugged, "If you say so."

For awhile there, the blonde thought that Dark would actually march up to Kaze and talk but he just lingered back and let out a whimper, "Do I really have to?"

"Well it's either you or me."

"Fine, fine, I'll go and be the human sacrifice."

"I said I would go-"

"I already said I was going to be the human sacrifice! Don't question my noble self-sacrifice…ness!"

"Okay!" A minute later Krad raised a brow, "You're not doing your job, you might be the first human sacrifice to be fired from the job."

"Shut up! I'm getting to that!"

"Oh? And just when were you planning to go and confront him?"

"When I feel like it!"

"Shut up!" They both turned to face the director, "We're practicing the ballroom scene again!"

There was a chorus of questions, "What do you mean again? This is the first time!"

"Did you get the book?"

"I can't find my costume!"

"We can't dance!"

"Krad-san's dress is wrinkly!"

The blonde spoke up for once, "I'll dance only on one condition."

The director gave him a funny look, "And what condition would that be?"

"That I get to dance with these shoes off."

She shrugged, "Fine, as long as you dance."

Krad nodded, "So we agree."

"Yes we do."

Dark raised a brow, "Don't I get to take off something?"

"What do you want to take off? Your pants?"

"You only wish, this jacket's stuffy!"

"Then take it off!"

Immediately after, there was a chorus of, "Take it off! Take it off!"

And another one of, "Strip! Strip! Strip!"

"Shut up! Let's practice!"

Everyone shutted up, they all stared at the director, "Well? How do we dance?"

The director flipped through the script, "First of all…Juliet…you go dance with your suitor."

"Suitor?"

"Kaze."

"Oh…"

The boy stepped forward and in front of the class they had to practice how to dance while the director gave directions and Dark clenched his fists very tightly. Krad shot him a look to tell him to loosen up before he broke his fingers. The violet haired boy complied only to frown and cross his arms while glaring at Kaze.

"Right, back, forward, back, left, gods these directions are messed."

Krad cocked his head, "And just which dance is that?"

"It's supposed to be the waltz but it doesn't look like it."

Dark snorted, "You have the directions mixed up."

The girl frowned, "Well if you're so smart, why don't you demonstrate Romeo?"

A chorus started up again, "Demonstrate! Demonstrate!"

"Shut up!"

The room was silent, Dark smirked, "Fine, I will." He took Krad's hand and wrapped his other arm around the blonde's waist.

Krad just blinked, "I never knew you knew how to waltz."

"Well you do now."

"I guess I do."

Dark led the blonde back and forth on the 'dance floor' or better known as the front of the classroom. Everyone stared in awe at the pair dance away. It didn't take Krad very long to figure out what in the world he was doing and waltzed along with his partner in the girl part. Dark actually knew a couple basic moves, and they say that TV doesn't teach kids…

Once they were done everyone was cheering, the chorus started again, "Dip and kiss! Dip and kiss!"

And for once…the director didn't tell them to shut up but she joined in instead.

Krad raised a brow and looked at Dark, his friend shot him the same look, he shrugged then the next thing he knew, he was being dipped and kissed with a very loud audience in the background clapping and cheering. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

Once they were finished their little show, Krad was blushing and staring at his bare feet. Dark just grinned, "Not too shabby huh?"

The director blinked, "No…BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU COULD WALTZ UNTIL TODAY?"

"You never asked. Not to mention you never said it was the waltz."

"Alright, another question, how the hell do you know how to waltz?"

"I know a lot of things."

"Alright…whatever you say…oh look it's lunch time…off with you! But don't change, and don't get the costumes dirty either! We waste too much time changing! And Krad, put your shoes back on."

"No! They hurt my feet!"

"I can imagine why…" She picked up the shoe, "These are at least three sizes too small for you, they ordered it in girl size…who ordered these?"

"……" Krad glared at the girl, "You did."

"Oh…well then…I guess I'll just have to order another pair now won't I? Anyways, go and eat lunch."

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

Up on the roof, Daisuke and Satoshi were both gawking at the blonde. Krad looked around uncomfortably, "What?"

"You look…very pretty Krad-kun!" The redhead chirped.

Dark pouted, "What about me?"

"You look nice too Dark-"

"You look like a male prostitute."

"Hey! Leather is sexy!"

"Whatever." Satoshi gave him a bored look then resumed eating his lunch.

Krad sat down with some trouble, not wanting to ruin the dress, "This is a pain."

Daisuke smiled, "We never had to keep our dresses on when we did the play."

Dark grinned, "You were the girl too, weren't you? Dai-chan."

The redhead gave a little laugh, "Yea…I got a dress and everything."

The blonde grumbled under his breath, "You didn't get killer shoes…"

"What?"

The violet boy filled him in, "Krad got these killer high heels that would kill your feet if you walked over two meters!"

"We got to wear normal shoes…well somewhat normal shoes…"

"Lucky…"

"Hey Krad…"

"Yes?"

"Lunch?"

The blonde rolled his eyes and passed his lunch over to his friend, "I can imagine just how hungry you are from dancing."

"Hey you danced too."

"You guys were dancing?" Daisuke blinked.

"Actually, we were waltzing."

Krad looked down with a blush while Dark grinned, Satoshi raised a brow, "Waltzing? You know how to waltz?"

"Yes I do."

"How? Waltzing doesn't seem very…Dark-like…"

"You know how you told me that watching TV was a waste of time?"

"No."

"Well I learned something from watching television so ha!"

"What are you ha-ing me for you twit?"

Dark shrugged, "Cause I felt like it."

Satoshi rolled his eyes and went back to eating again. Krad just sighed, "Are you finished with my lunch?"

"Yes." He handed the empty container over to the blonde who just sighed as he collected it.

Daisuke chirped quite randomly, "Krad-kun looks like a very pretty girl."

Krad's eyes widened at the comment, then Dark added with a grin, "Yea, the prettiest one in the school too."

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?"

"…yes?"

The blonde crossed his arms, "You still haven't talked to Kaze yet you know…"

"I'll get to that when I'm ready!"

"You know what? Why don't I just go talk to him?"

"No!"

"You're not getting the job done!"

"A-hem!"

The two turned and watched the younger two, "What?"

"Who's this Kaze guy?"

"Oh…I guess we forgot to tell you, Dark found out that this guy in our class is one of the elements but he's afraid to go and talk to him so I'm guessing I'll have to but Dark here won't let me."

"He's evil!"

"Oh stop being so irrational you."

"I'm not being irrational!"

Krad rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I'm going to go talk to him later, the sooner we get rid of that monster thing, the better."

No one could disagree with that…

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

So when after school came, Krad remained in the class while Dark went to fetch their things, "Hey Kaze, do you have a minute?"

The boy looked at him in slight surprise, "Yea sure."

"…your necklace…"

He grinned, "You mean this old thing? I got it from my grandma…before she passed away. It's quite strange…when I concentrate on it…it's like the wind moves however I want it to…"

Krad nodded and explained their situation, "So do you think you could stay the Niwa's for a bit?"

"I guess…but only under one condition."

"And what would that be?"

"…I'll think of something tomorrow, I'll go to Niwa's tomorrow."

The blonde gave another nod, great, now I'm in dept to people. Dark's going to freak…let's see…so far we have fire, water, light, dark, and I'm guessing wind, wonder who the other three are. Hopefully Dark won't freak out on each and every single one of them…

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

"So…what'd he say?"

"What?"

"What'd Kaze say? He didn't go and try to molest you or anything did he?"

Krad rolled his eyes, "No, you're paranoid, he said that he'll get his stuff and go to the Niwa's tomorrow."

Dark wrinkled his nose at the thought of having to live under the same roof as the other boy. While all the negative thoughts swarmed around in his head, he didn't notice that they were being trailed, and bright crimson eyes watched with glee as the boy radiated off negative thoughts. Growling, his thoughts suddenly turned to murder, blinking, he looked up and wondered where the thought came from, he couldn't help but feel slightly jealous.

Kill Kaze! Then he'll be out of the way! For good!

He never did notice the red eyes watching him, absorbing their every doubt and anxious thought. Slowly, it slunk back into the shadows to the houses and disappeared.

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

Finally, morning came, and as the dark haired boy wouldn't wake up, the blonde was fed up with waiting and headed off to school only to see a certain someone being stalked by a certain demon, "Hey! Kaze! Watch out!"

The blonde ran and shoved the brunette out of the way as the Kuro-kaze lunged, it growled as disappeared into thin air, that was the trigger it needed…Kaze brushed himself off, unsure of what just happened, "Thank you…"

"That was close…that was the demon thing I was telling you about yesterday-"

Then unsuspectingly, Kaze stood up and gave the blonde a quick peck on the lips, he left with a wave and a little grin on his face, "That's the one condition, I'll see you after school."

Krad just stood there dumbfound, what on earth just happened? Shaking his head, he headed to class where a relatively ticked off Dark was, he'd seen what happened through the window and needless to say, was not pleased. Angry thoguhts swarmed around in his head, he could've been killed! This is all the brat's fault! The blonde shot him a questioning look before taking a seat, Dark gave a low growl, red and black swirling around in his mind, slowly seizing control of him.

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

"Dark's what's wrong with you? You've been all quiet all day…don't tell me you're sick…" The blonde asked, quite worried for his friend who didn't even ask for lunch, which was a first, and not a very good one. Something was out of place…

Suddenly, the red and black completely took over his mind, in a low voice, he snarled, eyes turned deep crimson, "Why'd you do it? Why'd you go and save Kaze?"
