~ Day 8- Imposter ~

Her master lay crumpled on the floor, his glassy eyes still open and his lips tinted purple. A dark boot came to kick the limp form in the side as a chuckle vibrated through the empty house.

Ene felt sick.

From her spot inside the laptop, she glared at the person who stood in the dimly lit room. His golden eyes met hers as they wrinkled from his smile, stretching so far over his face that the cyber girl thought his lips would rip apart from the strain.

"Hey", he said, lightly, in a tone that sounded so sure and mocking that Ene cringed. That voice... it was still the same. And yet, it disgusted her, being used like that. "He's still as pathetic as he used to be, wouldn't you agree?"

When the male didn't receive an answer, he pouted mockingly at the cyber being. "What, not willing to talk to me? Aren't you glad to see me?", he asked and put his hands to his hips as he leaned forwards. Then, he cleared his throat. "I thought Takane would be happy when I came to greet her before everyone else!", he said, face neutral as he forced his voice to come out sweeter, more emotional.

Ene's eyes widened in shock. "But...", she began and stared at the male, now looking at her intently. "You're not..." Then, she shook her head. "There's no way that you're him! He'd never do something like that to Master!"

Lips stretched into a Cheshire grin again and a hollow chuckle echoed. "But I know about him. And about you. And about that guy", he pointed at Shintaro. "And about that bitch." He grit his teeth for a moment before glaring at Ene. "Because he fed all of you to me."

Fed? Ene hesitated as she gave the sneering being in front of her a questioning glance. "What do you mean by that?"

Teeth flashed behind thin lips in satisfaction. "In order to sustain that pathetic little life", he laughed at that. "He offered all his memories and feelings to me. All in exchange for this sturdy little body."

"Then, are you...", Ene began but didn't end her question. When she had become like this, when she had lost her body, she had encountered one of them- these snakes, each one possessing its own powers, looking for suited hosts and then embedding in their eyes.

The snake smirked at her. "Why, of course I'm no-one but your dearest Haruka", he told her, slipping back into the imitation of Haruka's voice. "You can't imagine how much his conscience his begging me to spare you each and every time."

"Each time?", Ene asked. "This never happened before!" Then, she got louder, making the flimsy speakers of the laptop protest. "I don't care if you pretend to be Haruka, hell, you could even be him! I won't forgive you for the things you've done!"

"Ah, sorry, but...", he grinned. "You've become no fun, now." Picking up the laptop, he rose it a little over his head, looking Ene in the eye one last time. "I've got a date with the queen of hearts, and I can't be late for that", he mocked and smiled at her.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

He smiled at her, cheerfully, gently, in a way that made Ene's electric heart flutter, despite everything. Then, as the laptop slowly gave in to gravity, in the borrowed voice, the snake laughed.

"Bye-bye, Takane. Until next time!"

A/N: When the previous one was already on KonoEne-territory, I don't even want to know what this is. But I wanted to write it. Leave me alone. Kuroha's the type to torment someone and on Ene, he as a huge advantage. That being that he's Haruka.
Also, thanks for all the reviews, all of a sudden! I should complain more often, eh? Just kidding.
