Chapter 9: Different Sides

Shadow and Light were watching Camellia as she was singing and dancing to the song "Passion". She twirled around gracefully and swung her legs swiftly, like a ballerina. The two men smiled then they heard a soft whistle.

"What is it now, Klarion?"

"Just came to visit the cutie. So, this is her passion huh? She's quite good at it. Though, I'm curious to know about her 'other self'. The one you've been trying to get rid of, Light."

Light snarled then Klarion laughed.
"Temper, temper... I'm just a anxious as you are to try to get that nasty little beast out of that cutie. So if you want my help, I get to at least get close to having a relationship with Camellia."

Camellia came to a stop when the song was over then she gasped when she saw Klarion waving at her.

"So... Do we have a deal?" Klarion asked, looking at Light out of the corner of his eye. Light gripped his fists then nodded.
"We have a deal. But you make one mistake and hurt even a single hair on Camellia-Emma and I will break you..."

"Oh, you're so scary, Raito-kun." Klarion said with a hint of flirt in his voice. Light growled then pretended to strangle him from behind until he stopped once he saw Camellia walking towards Klarion.

"Camellia." He said her name then smiled.

"Klarion, hello." Camellia greeted her cheeks turning pink. Teekl meowed then Camellia stroked her cheek softly.
"Hi, Teekl." Camellia greeted, petting the cat's head.

"Camellia? May I have a word with you? Just the two of us?"

Klarion turned and grinned at Light who gritted his teeth.

"Oh... Sure." Camellia answered then she followed Klarion into a different room. When he closed the door Klarion smiled as the brown hair girl turned around to look at the witch boy.
"What did you wanted to talk about?"

"Oh... Something. But I'd like to ask; What are you doing taking over someone this cute, Phantom?"

Camellia's eyes turned from sapphire blue to light blue.

"Do you have a problem with the body I pick?"

"No, not at all. Yeah, except... I happen to like the person you're taking over, so if you would just step out and move onto a new body, I'd be happy with that."

"Even if I can get out of this girl's body, I'd done it years ago. You see my body is sealed inside here by that damn brown rabbit, Thumper."

"Thumper? You mean Bumpkin and Marabel's son? You're telling me that little brown rabbit did this to you?"

Klarion laughed then Phantom used Camellia's body to put his hands on the hips and tapped his foot. Klarion stopped then looked at him.
"Oh, you're serious are you?"

"Very. But you know... Since this body isn't the master of Thumper, I'll might as well kill it."

"Whoa, let's not jump to conclusions, Phantom. If Camellia isn't the master of Thumper, who is?"

"That's what I've been trying to get the information out of Alice and Magenta..."

"Wait a minute... Alice and Magenta are here? The two girls? The Detectives of the Light and the Dark?"

"Who else...? I'd try to get the info out of them but they were in their forms before I could get anything."

"Huh. Maybe you can't get it... But maybe she could."

The witch boy and the boy taking over Camellia's body smiled. Suddenly Camellia's light blue eyes faded into a sapphire blue then Klarion caught her. Teekl let out a meow then the witch boy turned to look at her familiar.

"I know she's scared of them. But she's gonna have to learn to face her fears soon. Otherwise he is going to cause more trouble for my cutie." He said as he looked at Camellia.
