Innocent in the Dark

Chapter 6

Kurama's POV

It's been a week and Shuuichi has been on and off about his personality. It's like someone took over or something. Tonight was the carnival and I promised that I'd take him but tonight there was a meeting. Stupid meetings they always come at the wrong time. I sighed. I still didn't tell the others about the dark presence around the area.

I couldn't decide where to go. I mostly wanted to go with Shuuichi but I skipped the last two meetings just for him. Maybe I should make it three in a row.

Meeting< br>
Shuuichi.

I'll just go to the carnival besides the others are an annoyance sometimes. I checked the time and saw that it was only three hours left until Shuuichi came back from the school. I don't see why he has to attend that prison. It's taking up time. I got up and went out. I'll go around and come back in time so he doesn't think I left for a meeting.

Shuuichi's POV

I looked at the clock. The more I wanted school to end the more it went slower. It feels like an eternity.

I can't wait till tonight though. I'm so excited! Kurama said he'd take me to the carnival tonight. I'm so happy.

I'm starting to sound like a giggling schoolgirl.

~ What are you so happy about? ~

He just came into my head when I tried to kill myself. They usually say to listen to voices in your head.

Kurama said he's going to take me to the carnival tonight.

~ Wow, I'm sooo happy for you. ~ Talk about sarcasm.

What's got you bummed out?

~ I'm not doing anything. ~

I can't very well have you threaten one of the students again.

~ He insulted us. What else was I suppose to say? ~

You're complicated.

~ You should know that Kurama could ditch us for the meeting. ~

Why do you always shoot down my good days?

~ It's my job. ~

Go away.

I sighed. I didn't know that he had a meeting today. I guess he'll probably cancel it. I think he cancelled the other two times they asked for a meeting.

"MINAMINO!"

I instantly snapped back to reality and saw that the teacher was calling me for the past five minutes and now the class was staring at me.

I suddenly felt sleepy. Oh no he's taking over again. I hope he doesn't get me in trouble again.

~ Shuuichi's POV ~

Annoying human. The teacher was giving me a lesson on paying attention. After what seemed like forever she stopped. Finally.

"Do you have anything to say for your actions?"

"Unfortunately for you oban I don't have any response because you stunned me with your lecture. But if it makes you happy I'll gladly leave. Thank you for your time." I said, got my things and left.

"Minamino Shuuichi get back here!" I heard her call to me. Maybe I could kill her when ningenkai is in ruins. Yeah that would be nice.

As I was walking in the halls to exit this hellhole I saw that girl Alex. Thanks to her I was released easily. As if she saw me looking at her she turned around and faced me.

She was smirking. What the hell?

"Well 'Shuuichi' I didn't peg you to skip classes."

I should kill her for her annoyance.

"Well now you know."

"Want to come over? Or do you have to go straight to your boyfriend?"

As much as I hate to say it I do think that the youko is very, very hot.

"I have to go maybe next time. I was meaning to ask you something. Is that okay if your brother returns home a little bruised on his ego?"

She looked at me confused. "No I don't mind. That bastard deserves what he gets."

I flashed her a smile. "Thank you." I left the school. After one block from the school I switched control to my human side.

Shuuichi's POV

I found myself a block away from school. I don't know what he did but I guess it was worth it. I got away from school.

What did you do? I asked. I wanted to know what happened so I know what to do tomorrow.

~ Nothing. I just left. ~

I left him alone. I've pondering why he was here I just found out that he wasn't my conscience. It's like the situation I had with Kurama when we were sharing a body. I don't want to ponder anything anymore I'm tired maybe I could go to sleep at home.

* * *

When I reached my house I noticed that it was empty. Kurama wasn't home. I guess he must've got bored just waiting for me. I sighed. I walked up to my room and just plopped on my bed and instantly went to sleep.

Normal POV

A woman sighed. She gazed one more time at the sleeping form of the redhead on the bed through the window. She's been sitting in the tree just watching the boy's activities since that day. She didn't want to think of it.

She's been in hiding for a few months now. She didn't want to be found out before she gave someone the message that she could trust. She didn't want anything to happen to Shuuichi.

She found the right person for the job, the fox spirit that is with Shuuichi. They said that they were going to the carnival tonight. Maybe I could get my message to the youko. She thought.

She hopped off the tree and went to where the carnival was held. She was going to put a booth and hoped that they would enter it.

Kurama's POV

I went back. It was getting kinda boring walking around the ningenkai plenty of times.

When I arrived I saw that Shuuichi's shoes were here. What's he doing home so early? This is the third time this week. I've been getting calls that he has disruptive behavior. I don't think he does but those humans do deserve those comments from what I heard. Stupid mortals.

I went to his room. He's sleeping. Maybe I should wake him up?

I'll just let him sleep. But just not without me there.

I slipped right beside him and draped an arm around his waist. He shifted around to face me, and snuggled closer. I felt his warm breath on my neck. Shit. I guess we'll sleep till the carnival time comes.

* * *

We were at the carnival. I didn't like these ningen festivals but since Shuuichi wanted to go I'll go. Now I really wished that I didn't listen to his little bluff on the express a week ago. He really needs to see a doctor or some counselor. His other personality that's more daring is starting to get on my nerves.

"Kurama c'mon lets go to that." Shuuichi said pointing to a ride that was traveling at I don't know fast that I could ever imagine. He grabbed my hand and dragged me there. There was a long line so it must be a popular ride.

"What is it?" I asked. I had totally forgotten.

"It's a roller coaster. You don't want to ride on it? We could go to another one."

Great he had his pleading look again. "No it's fine."

Finally after what seemed like an eternity we were able to get on. I didn't like to though especially when I saw a ningen throw up his insides after the ride. (Kinshin: I hope no one was disgusted and that you weren't eating and actually did do that.)

When the ride was finished we got off. That was actually fun. I guess these ningens do have something useful.

We were walking around and Shuuichi was latched onto my arm and head against my shoulder. If it takes him to do that then I guess I should skip meetings more often.

"Hey let's go to that one over there." I saw that he pointed to something that was another very long line, great another eternity to wait.

"Alright." We walked over and it said fortune telling. It's that bullshit I see on that TV. Those people are false.

Thus we waited forever. I noticed we were the last ones in line. Something weird is going on. I sniffed the air for anything that was out of the ordinary. I picked up something familiar. It was coming from this fortuneteller person.

We went inside. The woman was hiding her face so I couldn't tell who it was.

I sensed her shock and excitement. Why was she happy that we're here? I decided to find out later.

"Hello and welcome. Who's having their fortune told today?" I pointed to Shuuichi.

"Alright young man why don't you sit down. Your friend can sit down on the other chair."

She shuffled the cards and laid a pattern out with them. I was partly listening but some things of what she said caught my attention.

".the last card predicts your future." She tuned it over and it was just blank. Nothing was there. "This is different. I've never had this card before. Must be fate."

"How much was this?" Shuuichi asked.

"No, no, no, it's alright. I enjoyed reading your fortune. It's free of charge."

Something weird is really going on.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes don't worry, I'm sorry what's your name again?"

"It's Shuuichi ma'am."

"Don't worry Shuuichi. Would your friend like a reading? I'll do it free of charge also."

I felt eyes on me and I didn't like that cute pout look son Shuuichi's face. I just simply nodded.

"Great. Shuuichi dear why don't you give us some privacy, don't worry I'm not going to do anything it's just fortune telling."

Shuuichi nodded seeming to trust this onna. He left outside. Time to voice my suspicions.

"Who are you?" I asked seriously. "I know that you're not some cheap fortune teller."

"Right you are, Youko Kurama."

What the-?

The woman took off her hood.

I stared in surprise.

"You. You're suppose to be dead."
