"Well, Watanuki-san, Dômeki-san, I think Kei has come to greet you."
"Nani?" Watanuki asked Jin, but Jin wasn't looking at him, he was looking behind him. Jin then bowed,
"Konnichiha, Kei-sama." Slowly Watanuki turned around. There standing on the stair case was what seemed to be a normal person, yet his eyes were like blood, skin paler than Watanuki's, his hair was shortish, kind of spiky and brown with a reddish tint to it. He was thin and his body was quite feminine, when you looked at the end result he seemed almost girl like but still held manly way. He was without a doubt the most beautiful man Watanuki had ever seen.
Dômeki was looking at him too, "Matmuso-san," He turned to him,"I think you're mistaken this can't be a spirit." Jin stared at him for a moment before asking him why. "Well I can see him, and not only can I see him but he looks like a real person to me."He answered.
"Really? Is that so?" Kei's voice was like honey, sweet and captivating. Perfect for his looks and nature.
"My dear, Dômeki-kun was it?" Dômeki nodded, "Everyone can see me, although it is a surprise that you can see me so clearly."He was in front of Dômeki now smiling like a mad man, he started to stroke the left side of Dômeki's face. "Oh look you can touch me too." he purred.
A shiver ran down Dômeki's spine. Kei's fingers might be cold but every time he touched him a fire burned brighter within Dômeki.
"Oi!" Watanuki yelled. He wanted so bad for Dômeki to push Kei away from him. But when he didn't and Watanuki couldn't take the sight of Kei touching him anymore he decided to step in. "You know you shouldn't go around touching people you don't know!" Kei didn't take his eyes off Dômeki as he spoke to Watanuki.
"Oh but I think I do Watanuki-kun."
"Who the Hell gave you permission to call me that?! It's the great Kimihiro-sama to you!" Watanuki screeched at him. He still didn't know why Kei touching Dômeki made his blood boil, all he knew was that it did. "You're not even a real spirit! Come on Dômeki let's go!" He grabbed Dômeki's wrist and dragged him toward the staircase.
*POP*
Kei was leaning against the door frame of the staircase blocking their way.
"What the...How did you get there?!" Watanuki sputtered.
"Well," Kei looked thoughtful for a moment,"You know it just might have something to do with the fact that I'm a spirit."
"You are not!"
"Now, now, Watanuki-kun," Kei leaned in till he was at max 10 centimeters away from Watanuki's face,Watanuki noted that Kei was taller than him and made a mental note to get back at him later for it."Why do you say that?"
"Because if you were a spirit I would have been able to sense you as soon as I came within 50 meters of this place! And now you're standing before me and I still can't sense your presence! Not only that Dômeki can see you, and I don't think that Matmuso-san should be seeing you either." Watanuki looked smug as he finished his rant.
"Actually I can't see Kei-sama well at all. He's pretty much see through to me." Jin supplied with a smile. Watanuki's face fell as he looked back and forth from Jin to Kei.
"B-but I...It's not possible! I can't sense you and Dômeki can see you!"
"Oh on the contrary Watanuki-kun-" Kei started smiling happily.
"I told you not to call me that!" Watanuki hissed but Kei just continued.
"I am a spirit. I am just how you say....a very special spirit."
Dômeki turned to Watanuki and said "Isn't it obvious?"
"What?" Watanuki asked exasperated. "So now you know? Why the hell does everyone know but me?!"
"Well it's obvious Kei-sama is-" Dômeki stopped when Kei stepped forward and took his hand out of Watanuki's.
"Onegai Dômeki-kun," He kissed the hand, "Don't tell Watanuki-kun," Kei kissed his wrist, "Let him figure it out on his own." Watanuki snatched Dômeki's hand away before Kei's lips could touch him again.
"Yea I think I just figured it out," Watanuki sneered, "Your just a pervert!" Kei just smiled at the accusation and Watanuki growled pushing past him, he dragged Dômeki up the stairs without another word.
Once in the room Watanuki began to pace the length of it. "Who the hell does he think he is?! Trying to make me look like a fool!" He ranted.
"He doesn't have to try very hard for that one." Dômeki asserted from the bed where he was sitting.
"And what is that supposed to mean?!" Watanuki whipped around to face him.
"See that's what I'm talking about."
"That's not the point!" Watanuki stared to pace again. "He is trying to outsmart me! I won't be beaten! Plus he was all over you and I-"
"Does that bother you?" Dômeki asked.
"What?"Watanuki faced him again.
"That he was all over me."
Watanuki blushed,"N-no of course not! But you were to busy getting felt up by that ero-youkai you forgot what Yûko-san said about not letting him touch you!"
"Touch you that much and that's only when he's human."Dômeki told him and laid back on the bed. Now Watanuki's face rivaled the color of Kei's eyes.
"W-Well of you want him to touch you go right ahead! See what I care!"
"I don't mind it." He said lazily. Watanuki turned away, he couldn't let Dômeki see his face. When he turned back around he noticed something.
"Hey where's the other bed?"
Dômeki smirked, "There isn't one."
"What? So where are you going to sleep?"
Dômeki sat up, "What do you mean me? I'm sleeping in the bed."
"No I am."
Dômeki stood up and walked over to Watanuki, leaning down he said, "Which one of us has to fight the spirits?"
Watanuki looked away. "You."
"That's right so which one of us needs more rest?"
"You."
"Good, so which one of us should use the bed?"
"You." Watanuki glared at him. "I'm going out."
Dômeki stood up straight as he asked, "Where are you going?"
"Don't worry about it!" Watanuki yelled as he slammed the door.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Damn that bastard! Asking me who has to fight the spirits., like I didn't know! If I could I'd fight them myself. But then I'd probably never see him....Wait a minute where am I? Watanuki had been so busy
fuming about Dômeki he hadn't even thought about where he was going. Looking around he realized he was in a cemetery.
"Lost?" Watanuki jumped and turned to face the speaker. He jumped again when he saw who it was.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Oh Watanuki-kun that's no way to greet someone," Kei shook his head at him and smiled. "I should ask you the same thing. Do you make it a habit of wandering around strange cemeteries by yourself?"
"No but that's not-"
"You see that headstone over there?" Kei pointed to a large tombstone covered in vines and dirt, the only thing visible was the name.
"Yea Miwasureru Kaiya?" Watanuki pointed too.
"It seems no one bothers to clean it anymore, would you like to help me?" Kei asked.
"Uhh.....sure I guess."
They began pulling off vines and clearing away the dirt but you still couldn't read the other writings.
"Kei-san, why are you cleaning this headstone?" Watanuki asked. Kei never looked up as he answered.
"It's dirty."
"So are a hundred other headstones here but you're not cleaning them. Whats so special about this one?"
"Nothing." Kei smiled at him this time. This angered Watanuki, he didn't know why Kei was lying to him.
"I'm leaving." Watanuki said and stomped away. Kei finished cleaning in silence. When he was satisfied he sta there and looked at the stone intently.
"Hello Kaiya. I'm sorry I haven't visited in awhile." Kei spoke softly so only that grave should hear him. He hoped the one before him was listing. "Please forgive me. What am I saying, of course you will. After all your names not Kaiya for nothing!" He laughed, "I think those boys are the ones who can actually do it Kaiya. I don't want to go through this Kaiya, I don't want to hurt you anymore. Kaiya I don't know what the future holds for me but please forgive me for then, forgive me for now, forgive me for later, forgive me for always." He smiled at the familiar words ans stood up, "I'll be back soon, I promise. Ashiteru, Miwasureru Kaiya."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Dômeki paced up and down the room, it was 9 at night and Watanuki still wasn't back.
Where is he? He should of been back by now! Shit he's probably lost somewhere! That's it I'm going to look for him.
Dômeki out on his shoes and headed for the door. When he opened it he was surprised to see Kei standing there.
"Going somewhere?" Kei smiled.
"Oh yea I was just going to see if I could find Watanuki."
"No need I know where he is."
"Really? Where?" Dômeki cocked his eyebrow as he asked.
"Down near the cemetery."
Dômeki frowned, "Why would Watanuki go there? He'd see tons of spirits."
Kei's smile got wider, "I was with him, he was helping me clean a grave. After awhile he left."
"Oh, well I guess I don't have to leave now. Would you like to come in?"
"Sure." Dômeki lead Kei inside. Kei sat on the chair near the bed where Dômeki was sitting. "Is there something you want to ask me?"
Dômeki looked startled, how had he know? "Well yes there is."
"Then go ahead and ask." Kei told him.
"Well, why aren't you running? Yûko-san said you would run, but you're not. And further more why would you run in the first place?"
Kei looked at him for a few moments before replying. "Dômkei-kun, you know what I am. I will run when the time comes because there is something I have to do pertaining to that, and I really don't want too. As for not running now, all I can say is that I like you and Watanuki-kun. Although he won't let me touch him not like you, you'll let me touch you won't you?" Kei stood up in front of Dômeki and started to smooth out his hair. Dômeki leaned into the touch. Kei started to caress Dômeki's face erasing Watanuki's earlier touches. Kei leaned down and began nibbling on an ear, Dômeki moaned but pushed Kei back.
"I can't let you do that." He said seriously (A/N:Then again when is he not serious?)
"You already have someone?" Kei asked.
"You could say that."
"They don't know how you feel do they?" Kei smiled down at him, "No matter you must be tired. Come sleep with me." He pushed Dômeki back and got on the bed. "Comfy?"
"Yea but-"
"Shhh, if you're worried about Watanuki-kun he'll be fine." Dômeki nodded at the assessment."Goodnight Dômeki." Kei whispered and snuggled up to him. Dômeki said nothing but threw his arm loosely around Kei.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ahhhh, I've been walking for hours! Where is that damned hotel?" Watanuki trudged along the sidewalk. It was late, very late and he had gotten even more lost than he already was. Now he was in some random part of this small town and everyone's lights where out. He had no idea if he was ever going to make it back to the Yami.
"So I've come full circle, eh?" Watanuki looked around, he was back at that cemetery. He walked over to the grave he and Kei had been cleaning earlier to see if Kei had finished it. "Lets see, Miwasureru Kaiya, Miwasureru Kaiya, AH! Miwasureru Kaiya! Wow Kei-san really got a lot down it's totally spotless. Hmm says she died in 1642. Maybe that's when Kei died too."
"You really shouldn't wander around here at night." A voice whispered to him.
"What? Who's there?"
"You might get hurt." It snickered to him.
"Hey! Show yourself!"
"Hehehekekeke I might hurt you, hehehe." It began laughing maliciously and Watanuki could feel himself being pulled back wards to the grave behind him. The ground was sinking beneath him, he was being pulled into a grave.
"Leiko that's enough!" A womans voice barked, yet it was gentle, calming, forgiving. Watanuki instantly felt pressure lift from him and he sighed in relief. "Are you okay Watanuki-kun?" The woman asked, she was definitely a spirit. She had light colored eyes and hair which flowed down her back. She wore a white gown that was slightly tattered, she must have been an angel.
"Yes I'm fine, thank-you, but how do you know my name?"
She smiled at him, one of those knowing smiles. "You helped clean my grave today, thank-you so much."
"Wait so you're Miwasureru Kaiya?" She nodded. "So can you tell me why Kei-san was cleaning your grave?"
"Hai, he and I used to know each other when we were alive, he was very special to me." She smiled at some forgotten memory her mind was replying.
"Oh, so why is it I can't sense him and Dômeki can see him? Why can he touch Dômeki?!" Watanuki demanded.
"Now isn't the time for these questions, you need sleep." She told him. "I know that you are lost but I cannot take you back tonight but you may sleep here. And do not worry about other spirits attacking you, I will ward them off. Now sleep." As if on command Watanuki felt drowsy he began to sway and fell over Kaiya's grave into a deep sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*The Next Morning*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Watanuki woke up cold, he looked around and realized he was in the cemetery.
"Good morning Watanuki-kun."
"Mornin'" He said sleepily, the realized who he was talking to. "Oh good morning Kaiya-san!" He shot up and began bowing, "Gomen nasai! I didn't mean to fall asleep on your grave please forgive me!"
She laughed, "Watanuki-kun it's alright, I told you to sleep there, and my names not Kaiya for nothing!" Watanuki looked nervous though, "It's alright really, now let's get you back to the Yami."
"But I want to know more about Kei-san and you!"he whined.
"Alright I'll tell you if you promise to come visit me later." She told him.
"Okay."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Arigatou, Kaiya-san!" Watanuki called from the front door of the hotel. He walked in and saw the foreman and bowed to him, then made his way up the stairs. He unlocked the door quietly and slowly opened the door.
"Dômeki?" He called softly, he didn't know if he was awake or not. "Dôm-" He stopped mid sentence when he saw Dômeki, in bed, with Kei.
Watanuki didn't know what to do, seeing Dômeki like that with his arm around Kei, hurt him. He was beginning to understand why now, why it hurt for him to see Dômeki look so happy with someone other than him, to see him look happy at all. And because of someone else.
Why? Why is he doing this to me?
Watanuki couldn't look away, he wanted to scream and throw thing about, but he also just wanted to run, run where no one could ever hurt him again. But it was to late for that, Dômeki was waking up.
Japanese:
Konnichiha-Hello
Onegai-Please
Arigatou-Thank-you
Yami-Darkness
Ero-Perverted
Youkai-Spirit or Demon in this case Kei could be either.
Ero-youkai-Perverted Spirit.
Extra- Kaiya's name is Kaiya for a reason Kaiya means Forgiveness while Miwasureru means forget. So her name means Forget and Forgive.
Narinari: WOOT! I so left you on a cliff hanger yes I know you hate me! *walks away crying*
