Treat or DIE!

Chapter 3: Haunted Houses are bad for the Heart

They walked and walked until they reached a room deep within the house where they heard the screams and the whipping sounds. Krad's ears drooped, Dark held them up, "Stop letting your ears sag, it's depressing." Krad frowned willing his ears to straighten, Dark grinned, "That's better."

"Are we going through the door?"

"Yea, why not?"

"Nothing…" Krad inhaled and turned the doorknob, inside was…empty. The blonde blinked, "It's empty."

Dark barged in, "What? But that noise we heard!"

"Yea…and this room is empty."

"But it can't be!"

"And why can't it?"

"Because-because…" Krad raised a brow, he followed Dark around the room while his friend kicked at the walls, "Stupid, stupid house, how are we suppose to find Dai-chan and creepy boy now?"

A moment later Dark looked back, "Krad? Something wrong?"

"Nothing...just got a minor heart attack..."

Grumbling, Dark continued kicking. The second Dark kicked the wall and created a dent, a hole appeared underneath him, "Wha-" He looked down and screamed before he started falling, grabbing Krad's ponytail and dragging the blonde along for the joyride.

They landed on a pile of hay, or what felt like sort of like hay…very thick slippery slithers of hay. Dark's tail fluffed up while Krad's ears stood straight up as something slithered across his hand and onto his lap. There were hissing sounds around them. Krad tensed feeling something wrap around his arms, "Dark?"

"Yea?"

"Exactly what are we…sitting on?"

The cat blinked, "Let's see…it's hissing…"

"Uh huh…"

"Is it slithering all over you too?"

"Yes…"

"It's smooth…cold and has no legs…"

"Yea…"

"I'm pretty sure we're sitting on a pile of snakes."

The rabbit frowned, "I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Great...another minor heart attack..."

"Kyu?"

"Get off my head." With clung harder, his fur tickling the cat ears that wiggled around, Dark suppressed a giggle, "Get off!"

The rabbit held on, Krad frowned, "Dark?"

"With won't get off my head," Dark's voice was mixed with laughter, "He's tickling my ears."

"Dark…don't…stop moving…"

"I can't help it! It tickles!"

The hissing grew louder, Krad gulped, "With, get off his head!"

"Kyu!" The rabbit shook his head causing Dark to laugh and his fin to tilt over a bit making him lose balance and rolled onto his side on the boy's head, suddenly the snakes started moving rapidly and they started to sink, Krad's eyes widened, he got up and pulled Dark along with him off the mountain of snakes. He shook off the one on his arm and kept on running. The hissing followed them down the corridor. "Run!"

"I'm running!"

"Run faster!"

The two reached a dead end, Dark frowned, "We're going to die with cat and bunny ears!"

Krad bit his lip imagining his funeral, dressed in a suit in a coffin with rabbit ears…there was no way in hell he was dying there, not by swarming snakes. They were about to run again but the floor collapsed and they fell, fell, fell all the way down. Fortunately the snakes didn't fall down with them since they were smarter than that. There were no cushions when they landed, luckily for Krad he landed on Dark, actually…he fell right into his lap. "I'm getting sick of these heart attacks..."

Dark grinned even though he was in pain, "This is what I want for Christmas, snow, snow, more snow and you."

Krad blushed, "You okay?"

"Actually no, my butt's in pain, my back's in pain and just about everything else is in pain but at least I have you sitting in my arms."

The blonde's blush deepened as he got up…or at least he tried to, Dark pulled him back down, he blinked, "Dark?"

"I want to stay like this for awhile…at least until my butt regains consciousness."

Krad let himself be pulled back into the embrace, ears twitching. For a few minutes they remained silent, "…Dark?"

"Hm?"

"Can we go now?"

"No." Dark smirked and held the blonde closer, "not yet."

Krad sighed and snuggled, trying to get into a comfortable position, "When?"

"Later…"

Another while later Krad found himself dosing off, "Dark…"

He received a sleepy reply, "Hmm?"

"We better go look for them before it gets too late."

"Nnn…" Dark let go of him nonetheless.

Krad didn't really like the lack of warmth but he got up, "Let's go."

"Hai…"

So down the hallway they went, this time there were torches that greeted them, "I wonder if Niwa fell down here…"

"I bet he fell down here and a couple floors down."

"…great…"

Surprisingly non-surprising, they fell another floor, and another…and another. Krad rubbed his ankle, Dark looked back, "You okay?"

"Yea." He tried getting up but he hobbled a couple steps and fell into Dark. The violet eyed boy blinked.

"Okay my ass, the last time I checked, okay didn't involve limping."

Krad snorted and started hopping on his good foot. Dark sighed and scooped the rabbit up, "Hey!"

"It'll take us forever if you hop around like that."

The blonde crossed his arms and frowned, "If we fall down again we're both going to die."

"Fun…"

"Put me down."

"Is your foot better?"

"Yes." He lied, Dark set him down. He winced but walked properly, Dark raised a brow.

"You're okay?"

"Yea."

"No you're not."

"Yes I am!"

Krad frowned, Dark crossed his arms, "Then why are you standing on that leg and not your left one?" The blonde blinked and set his foot down, slightly wincing, Dark sighed, "You're so damn stubborn…"

"Hn." The blonde bit his lip as he walked, his friend sighing again before following. After awhile, the hallway didn't seem to diminish in length, Krad let out a complaint, "Mou…where are they? This corridor's never going to end!"

"That's a first."

"What is?"

"You complaining before me." Krad snorted and continued walking, Dark grinned, "Pouting now are we?"

"Urusai!"

They heard the sound of a whip cracking, "We're getting closer."

"Obviously."

There was a voice, "Stay back!"

Another crack, Dark pointed to the end of the hallway, "Sounds like creepy boy."

Krad rolled his eyes, leave it to Dark to make stupid comments. "Let's go."

Dark nodded, there was a whiny-ish sort of scream, "Hiwatari-kun!"

"And there's Dai-chan."

The blonde nodded, they walked down to the end of the hallway, there was a room filled with light. And there was Satoshi with Daisuke behind him cracking his whips at cockroaches, the older two blinked. Dark's ears twitched with amusement Krad was trying to stifle his laughter, "Hey you two."

The red and blue haired boy looked over, "You two…"

Dark grinned, "I never knew you were afraid of bugs."

"They kept following us, it got annoying."

Krad raised a brow, "Ever think about fire?"

Suddenly, the cockroach swarm turned their attention to the rabbit and the cat and began to move towards the two. Dark yelped and clung onto the blonde who lost his balance due to his injured leg, soon there were insects surrounding them. Satoshi smirked, "I never knew you were afraid of bugs."

Dark being the fire-prone boy that he was grabbed the closest thing besides Krad which was a stick and started whacking the bugs. Soon after, for whatever reason, the stick caught on fire and the little cockroaches were killed. Their little legs kicking frantically as they met their firey doom. Even after the bugs were gone, Dark kept whacking around until his friend tapped him on the shoulder, "Dark? They're dead…you killed them all…"

Only then did he open his eyes, he pointed a finger at the blue haired boy triumphally, "Ha! Take that!"

Satoshi rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

The room was silent for a few minutes, then Daisuke, being as observant as he was noticed that Krad's ankle was somewhat messed, "Krad-kun! What happened to your leg?"

The blonde looked at his ankle, "I blame Dark."

"What?"

"Actually no, I blame the fall and this stupid house."

Dark was satisfied with the answer and got off his friend, "We kept falling and apparently he landed in a bad way and busted his ankle."

Krad snorted, "Now what? We can't go home with animal…features."

"Why? They look sexy."

"Because I said so, anyways, imagine going to school like that."

The amethyst eyed boy did, "Let's see…they'd be swarming us possibly going all, oh my god it's playboy bunny Krad and his furry friends…again…what's so bad about that?"

The blonde stared at him, "Whatever, let's go."

Daisuke asked a very good question, "How do we get back up?"

Krad shrugged, "Somehow."

Satoshi snorted, "How convincing…"

They looked around the room, there was a door and the way back into the hall, they took the door which led to another room which had a door that led to another room. They repeated the process a couple dozen times until they reached a dead end. There was a cauldron and a lady standing beside it. Dark recognized her at once, "You! Again!"

The other three blinked, "Who?"

"She's the one that wanted me to eat that nasty…stuff and then turned us all into animals!"

The old lady looked up, "You again! The boy without the Halloween spirit!"

Krad nudged Dark's ribs, "Halloween spirit?"

"She's insane…" He whispered back Krad nodded in agreement.

Satoshi stepped up, "Change us back!"

"No can do."

The four gawked in disbelief, "What? What do you mean you can't change us back?"

The old lady shrugged, "After midnight you're stuck like that forever. And there's only…" She checked her watch, "three and a half minute left."

Dark's eyes widened, "Ehhh? There has to be a way!"

"There is, like all fairytales." Silence greeted her, "Don't you read fairytales?"

"Not the kind you do I'm guessing."

"The characters that turned into semi-animals kiss their true love and turn back into their original form! Snow White turns back into an ass and the Prince turns into a sewer rat!"

Satoshi raised a brow, "…must be a new version…"

Dark's eyes were glittering now, "So all we have to do is kiss our true love?"

"You have two minutes left…one minutes and fifty eight seconds now…"

Without hesitation, the cat grabbed the rabbit and kissed him square on the mouth. The last thing the rabbit ears did was stand up completely straight from the kiss. Daisuke watched the two in their lip lock and turned red. Silently he wondered where his true love was, he looked over at the mouse who was just as shocked as he was, "Hiwatari-kun…"

Satoshi caught on pretty quickly, "It's worth a try."

Soon the two found themselves kissing, the old lady fanned herself, "Whoa it's getting hot in here…and I was just joking too…sheesh…youngins nowadays, they'll believe anything you tell them…"

With that she disappeared, letting smoke fill the room once more, when the younger pair broke their kiss they discovered that they were outside again, "Hey Da-"

Daisuke tapped Satoshi on the shoulder, "Don't they need to breathe?"

"Apparently not…" They continued watching for another few minutes, and another few, they could see that Krad was giving out, Satoshi folded his arms, "They're going to have to stop sooner or later…"

Awhile later the two still hadn't changed from their position, Daisuke yawned, "When will the sooner come?"

"I…don't know anymore…"

Even later, Daisuke rubbed his eyes and tugged on the blue haired boy's sleeve, "Ne Hiwatari-kun…it's way past midnight…"

"Aa…" He yawned, "Dark, Krad…" The two ignored him.

The redhead blinked, "That must be some kiss…"

Satoshi tried something different, "Hey look, isn't that the Harada twins?"

Krad pulled away immediately, out of breath, Daisuke looked impressed, "That works too."

Dark looked around and pouted, "You liar! Bum!"

"We were getting sick of your little free show."

Krad sighed in relief, he would've never heard the end of it if someone from school saw, just then, someone grabbed his tail, he gave a yelp and whirled around, "Dark!"

Dark looked at his own tail, he grinned, "I guess they're back to normal…I kind of liked having a tail and extra ears…"

"Thank god this is over-will you please stop grabbing my tail."

The cat gave a sheepish grin and slung an arm over the blonde's shoulder, "Come on, let's go home."

The four made their way back to the redhead's house, every now and then Krad would give a yelp and smack the cat on the head. And when they got to Daisuke's house, they were yelled at Emiko for their horrid punctuality and how With's little fin was rearranged. And after a long night's lecture, they were too tired to go back to their own houses and fell asleep at Daisuke's. Dark and Krad were asleep in the guest room while Satoshi shared a room with the redhead.

"…Krad?"

"Hn?"

"Happy Halloween."

"…you too, now shut up and go to sleep, we have school tomorrow."

"Fine, be that way."

"I will, good night."

Outside the house, a witch flew by on a cheap plastic broom that was probably bought from a dollar store, a black cat and a white rabbit cuddled up at the back, asleep. Cackling, she flew across the sky, "Happy Halloween to one and to all!"
