Haunted

Thirteenth Haunting:

"Why'd you save him?"

Krad blinked, "What are you talking about?"

Dark frowned and repeated coldly, "Why didn't you leave him?"

"What's wrong with you? Do you want another dead student around? Someone in our own class nonetheless!"

"Shut up! You should've just left him to get what he deserves!"

Golden eyes widened, "Wha…what are you talking about? No one deserves to die in such a cruel manner!"

"No one but him!"

"Dark?" Dark growled and shoved the blonde out the door and onto the roof, into the pouring rain. "What are you doing?"

"You had no right interfering with his death…" By this time, Daisuke and Satoshi had ran to the door to watch. "If he was dead…then you'd be…you'd be…" Mine.

Red eyes watched the scene through swirling violet-red eyes with a grin, it was so easy to manipulate humans through jealously…if light and dark were to be separated, then everything would be so much easier…

"Did you really want him to die that much?" When Dark didn't respond, the blonde stared at him in disbelief, "What's gotten into you? You wanted him to die?"

"Me? What about you? Just because he was another one of your admirers, is that why you want him alive?"

"Admirer?"

Red eyes narrowed, this wasn't getting anywhere, it was going to have to use the deepest doubts and fears against the blonde… "Don't think just because your parents didn't want you around means that you have an excuse to do as you please! You're just some selfish little prince who thinks of no one but himself, do you have fun kissing up to people?" Krad didn't say anything, eyes wide with shock and hurt, but Dark wasn't finished yet, the demon inside him was still raging about, "Face it! Your parents didn't want you, that's why they left you behind! Do you even get letters from them other than checks? Gods! I don't blame them one bit for leaving you behind because honestly, you're just some greedy brat who loves attention aren't you?"

The blonde took a step back, "Dark…"

"What? You want me to apologize? What do you want? You know what? I hate you, I swear, I never want to see you again! You-"

Krad gritted his teeth, "Well if that's how you feel I guess I'm sorry for wasting your precious time! If you hated me that much from the beginning then why didn't you just say so? What the hell, screw you!"

Then the blonde took off down the stairs, Daisuke and Satoshi watched in shock as Dark stood there looking completely emotionless. A moment later the redhead got up and slapped Dark as hard as he could, "You bitch!"

Dark blinked, he had never heard the redhead cuss before, "D-Daisuke?"

"How could you? How could you say all those lies to Krad when all he's done is take care of you? You know he saved Kaze because he didn't want anyone dead! And what do you do? You tell him all these lies and hit him where it hurt the most! You bastard! How could you do that to him?"

Amethyst eyes blinked, "What are you talking about? What happened?"

Now it was Daisuke's turn to blink in confusion, "W-what?"

"What just happened? Where's Krad?" Then his eyes rolled up and he fell unconscious.

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

Krad had ended up running down the hallway and out of the school into the pouring rain, there, it happened. Him and Dark had their first real fight, and maybe their last. The blonde slowed to a jog, then a slow walk. Standing in the rain with his head down, he headed over to a bench and sat down, his clothes had become wet and soggy already and he watched underneath his bangs as droplets of rain slid off his hair.

Did Dark really mean all those things? He didn't get it, why would saving Kaze make him so angry? He simply didn't get it and hugged his knees as the rain continued pouring down onto him.

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

The demon gave a wide grin, the team had been separated, the only thing it needed to do now was look for the other ones and kill them, simple enough. He left the scene and slunk off into the shadows.

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

The two stood in the medical room waiting for Dark, who had bandages around his head to wake up, "I don't think it was Dark-kun…"

"Why?"

"Well first of all, he'd never say all that stuff to Krad-kun, even if he was really angry, and he didn't seem to have any idea what he did…"

Satoshi nodded in agreement, "True…but if it wasn't him then who was it?"

The idea dawned onto them but doubt soon followed, "It couldn't have been that demon could it?"

"I don't know Daisuke…"

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

Krad stared at the ground through his bangs, replaying the scene to make sure he didn't miss anything, did Dark really mean those things he said?

I hate you…

He gave a soft groan and buried his head in his arms.

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

There was a groan emitting from him as he sat up, damn his head hurt like hell… "What the hell happened?"

Daisuke looked over, "You're awake!"

Violet eyes blinked, unused to having the younger pair around him when he woke up, "What the hell? Why are you two here?"

Satoshi gave a glare at the taller boy for the rude greeting, "What do you mean why we're here? Is that the thanks we get for dragging you in here?"

"Satoshi-kun…"

"I mean, why are you two here?" He paused, "Isn't that what I just said? Am I talking slurred or something? Where's a translator when you need one?"

Blue eyes narrowed slightly, his mind working quickly to comprehend/decode Dark's language, it surprised him how stupid he was at times when the answer was so obvious yet he kept trying to think deeper…almost as though he expected Dark to be more complicated than he seemed. That'd be when hell froze over. "You mean Krad."

"Who else? So where is he? I can't stand you being the first thing I see when I wake up…" Dark paused again when he realized, "This isn't my house…my god, this is the school!"

Satoshi rubbed his temples and gave a sigh, "Brilliant Dark…just brilliant…"

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

"Nii-chan?" Krad looked up with a frown, was the person talking to him? In front of him, the boy smiled, "It is nii-chan!"

Golden eyes blinked and watched the boy through his bangs, "You again…"

The boy looked around, "Why is nii-chan sitting here in the rain? Where's the other nii-chan?"

"Hm?" He let his legs down and smiled, "Me and the other nii-chan had a fight."

"Oh…well I know what'll cheer you up!" Krad blinked, "You can come to my house for dinner! I'm sure kaa-chan won't mind!"

"You're inviting me to your house?" The boy nodded, "I don't even know you…"

"Well my name's Rai."

"I'm Krad."

"There! We know each other now! Come on!" He tugged at the blonde's hand, "You can change at our house! We have clothes that'll fit you! It's not healthy to stay in wet clothes! Kaa-chan can make us cookies!"

"U-un…" He let out letting himself get dragged down the street by the boy.

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

"I did what!?"

"You had a spasm at Krad and now we don't know where he is."

Dark growled, "Why didn't anyone slap me?"

Daisuke frowned, "I did!"

"I meant before I spasmed."

"Oh…well we didn't know you were actually going to lose all your self-control…"

The violet haired boy sat up, "I'm going to go find him." Then a hand went smacking his bandaged head, "OW! You creep! What was that for?"

Satoshi scowled, "Okay, if your best friend just had a complete spasm at you, would you want to see him right now?"

"But I-"

"I said, would you want to see him right now?"

Dark pouted, "Probably not…"

"Good, that's the answer I wanted to hear."

"But-"

"Don't make me make you repeat yourself!"

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

"What happened between you and the other nii-chan?"

"We had a fight." He had no idea why he was telling a child but oh well.

"Oh…"

Krad gave a little laugh, "I think he hates me now."

"No way!" The blonde looked down at the boy, "He doesn't hate you, he cares about Krad nii-chan a lot! I can tell!"

The blonde smiled and petted the boy's wet hair, "If you say so then…"

"Ah! We're here! Come in!"

The short pale-blonde boy stepped through the door with a smile on his face, drenching wet, he kicked his shoes off and headed inside to hear, "Rai-kun, okaeri."

He led the taller boy into the kitchen, "Hi kaa-chan!"

The lady turned around with a smile, "Ara, who's this?"

"This is Krad nii-chan! Can he stay for dinner?"

The brunette nodded, not losing her cheerful smile, "Of course, go dry off you two, Rai-kun, fetch your friend some of your brother's clothes."

Rai dragged the other blonde up the stairs, "Come on! Aniki's away right now so you can borrow his clothes! He ran into a room and dug through the clothes until he found a pair of jeans and a nice white shirt, "Here!" The boy tossed him the clothes and pushed him into the bathroom.

Krad stared blankly at the clothes before peeling off his uniform. When he came back out, the boy was smiling at him and he got dragged downstairs, "Kaa-chan made cookies for us! Come on!"

When they reached downstairs, the boy's mother sighed good-naturedly, "Mou…Rai-kun, you didn't comb your hair did you? Look at this! Goodness you're a mess!" She shook her hand and fixed his hair and straightened his clothes, and fixed his necklace too.

Golden eyes widened when they fell upon the golden crystal hanging off the chain.

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

He pouted, "Can I go now?"

Blue eyes studied him offhandedly, "No."

More pouting, "How about now?"

"Sure."

He perked up, "Really?"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Look outside."

Dark looked outside blankly, "Yea so?"

"It's dark and cold and wet outside, what makes you think Krad will be outside?"

The boy gave the younger two a funny look, "Who said he was going to be outside? Of course he's going to be in his own house…" The two glared at each other for a few minutes.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

Dark rolled his eyes and snorted, his eyes traveling around the room, looking for and excuse, "Oh look over here! Oh no! Krad left his jacket here…so I might as well go and return it to him-okay thanks bye." Then he ran out the door.

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

Krad nodded his thanks as he stepped back out into the rain, he sighed and headed back towards his own house. Staring at his feet, deep in thought, none of how he was going to deal with the mess that was his house. Rai really was lucky, having a caring mother like that, always looking after him with a smile on her face. He sighed and thought of his own parents off somewhere, far, far away...without him.

After awhile, he heard footsteps heading in his direction, down the street he could make out the dim silhouette of a person, as he approached, he could make out the tousled hair and scrawny figure. Finally, he recognized who it was, he blinked in surprise, "Dark?"

Suddenly, Dark called out to him, "Oi Krad! Look out behind you!"
