Chapter 01

October was one of his favorite
times of year. Well, autumn in general
was, but October specifically. The leaves
on the trees had turned gorgeous shades of red, gold, brown, and orange, and
had begun their gradual shedding of these organic gems of colour. October meant family dinners, since his Dad
and older brother, Hiro, came home for an entire month. It meant beautiful scenery, outdoor sports
and activities (although the chore of raking up all those pretty fallen leaves
from the massive yards of his home � a dojo that had been in his family for
generations � wasn�t all that appealing), festivals and fairs, a week-long
break from school, and�

Halloween!

Kinomiya Tyson grinned to himself as
he walked down the steps of the high school, his book bag slung carelessly over
one shoulder and a jacket clutched loosely in the other hand. A warm, autumn breeze ruffled the bangs of
his blue-black hair, while a pair of storm-blue eyes searched the grounds
around him for familiar, friendly faces.

He was especially looking forward to
Halloween this year. There was a big
Halloween party being held at the house of one of his
classmates who happened to be one of the wealthiest � if not the wealthiest � in his class. And while Tyson
wasn�t really what one would call close friends with the guy, they weren�t
enemies, either.

Tyson was excited about this
party. Though he wasn�t
the best of buddies with the guy having it, he was still part of that group of
his peers, by virtue of being friends with a couple of others who were friends of their host. Tyson usually hosted a Halloween party of his
own, but this year he�d been invited to one before he
even had an opportunity to plan his own.
Not that he was complaining � neither was his grandfather. The wacky old man loved throwing parties and celebrations, but he despised the mess
to clean up afterward. So he hadn�t been too upset at not having a Halloween
party this year.

Chuckling to himself, Tyson spotted
his friends standing around under the shelter of a huge chestnut tree near the
high school�s gate. His
Japanese-American friend, Max, had somehow managed to snatch away their
youngest friend Kenny�s beloved laptop, and was holding it up above his head
out of the bespectacled young brunette�s reach.
Smiling, Tyson made his way toward them as the clock in the clock tower
chimed four o�clock, announcing to everyone that it was time to go home.

�Give it back, Max! You�re going to drop it waving it around in
the air like that!� Kenny pleaded,
holding out his hands to the blonde. �Please?�

�No way, Chief! I won�t give it back until you promise to come
with us to Kai�s big bash.�

�But I have to work on my program
for��

�No!
One night isn�t going to hurt! In fact it�ll
probably do you some god. Your social
life needs more in it than this, me, and Tyson, Kenny.� Max dodged a jumping attempt to grab the
computer back. �It will be fun! Especially if you�re there,
too!�

�Alright! I�ll go!�
Kenny huffed and gave Max a plaintive look. �Just please
give me back Dizzy!�

Max, satisfied, presented the little
personal computer with a flourishing bow.
Kenny grabbed it an hugged it to his chest
protectively.

�Chief, you�re the only person I
know who names their hardware.� Tyson
snickered, coming up behind the brunette and ruffling
his hair fondly. Kenny yelped and ducked
away.

�Tyson! Don�t scare me like that!�

Max laughed. �So, guys, where are we
going today? Tyson�s,
my place, or Kenny�s?�

�I still need my costume.� Tyson admitted sheepishly. �What?
I can�t decide what to be this year!�
He added when they stared at him incredulously.

�Tyson! You�re usually the
first of anyone to get a
costume. What�s so difficult about this
year?� Max tilted his blonde head at the
bluenette curiously, blue eyes like the sea questioning him.

�I don�t know! I�ve been so many different things over the years, I guess I just can�t pick something now.� He replied, shrugging. The three teens began to walk, leaving the
high school behind.

�Well, we may have to buy bits and
pieces of things to make up a costume, Tyson.
I don�t know what would be left at the costume store by this late
date.� Kenny said, pondering the
possibilities thoughtfully.

�Yeah, I know.� Tyson sighed mournfully. �I really don�t have a clue, though.�

�Don�t worry! We�ll think of something!� Max patted him on the shoulder and grinned.

As they rounded a corner, a voice
from on high spoke up, dry and rather bored sounding. They looked upward, spotting three teens
lounging along the wide ledge of the school�s outer wall in their uniforms � or
at least most of it. None of them were wearing their jackets, and the two boys had removed
their ties and left two buttons undone at the neck of their shirts.

�Don�t think too hard,
Mizuhara. Or
you either, Kinomiya. It would be such
an awful shame for you to hurt yourselves like that.� The red-headed boy
snickered.

�Yeah, you should leave the thinking
to the brainy one, there.� The lavender
haired boy sprawled next to him smirked.
He propped himself up on an elbow and looked them over, eyes like some
bird of prey considering its meal. �At
least Kenny knows how to use his.�

Kenny scowled. �Gee.
Thanks, Bryan.�

Bryan shrugged. �I tell it like I see it. Tala, on the other hand, likes to push
people�s buttons.�

Tala, running pale fingers through
his flame-red hair, smiled and lightly punched his boyfriend on the leg. �Ass. You�re no better.�

�Quit picking on each other, you
two.� The honey-eyed female, sitting
back to back with Tala in order to be semi-comfortable up there on the ledge in
a skirt, rolled her eyes and reached back blindly to find Tala�s arm and grip
his sleeve in warning. �And quit picking
on them. Tyson and Max are smarter than the two of you
put together and you know it.�

Tala took her hand from his sleeve
and crossed his arms. �It�s just
teasing, Hilary. Relax, cousin.�

Tyson ignored them,
his eyes drawn a little farther upward by some weird sixth sense to a silent,
watchful figure perched on a massive tree limb that hung just over the
wall. One leg hung off the limb lazily
and his back leaned comfortably against the thick trunk. Tyson�s blue eyes met piercing,
bloody-crimson and the bluenette felt a definite, curious tingling run through
his body in a shiver from head to foot and back up again. The boy in the tree gave a slight nod of
greeting � or at least acknowledgement � and Tyson gave him a tiny head-bow in
return. It was the same every time they
ran into each other. There was always a
current of�something between them, and they always seemed to know when the
other was around. And
there was a careful politeness and respect that they always observed with each
other, odd as it was.

Max, on the other hand, was
laughing. He never took any of that
stuff seriously when Tala and Bryan
started ribbing him. It was all in good
fun, to Max. �You guys are a riot! What are all of you doing up there anyway?�

�Discussing the party and making
plans.� Hilary replied, disengaging
herself fro Tala and sitting up properly.
She began buttoning her school jacket up as she continued. �Kai says the
third floor of his house is haunted.�

Standing between Max and Tyson,
Kenny froze. �H�haunted? You�re not serious.�

Tala, spotting an opportunity,
grinned and nodded. �Very
serious! Everyone knows that
house has been haunted for years! Weird
stuff is always happening around it, but especially on the third floor.� He swung his legs around to dangle over the
edge of the wall. �Maybe you�ll get to
see the ghost or maybe something really spooky will happen when you�re there,
Kenny. Think of the research
possibilities��

Kenny clutched at his laptop,
shivering. �I don�t believe in ghosts or
supernatural things.� He tried to state
in as firm and steady a voice as he could muster.

�Why not? Even if you say you don�t, the chances are
good that you�ll change your mind after the party.� Bryan
shrugged, a devious gleam in his eyes.

�Okay, guys. Quit picking on him.� Tyson laid a hand on Kenny�s shoulder and the
brunette jumped slightly. �Whether or not it really is haunted, the
party will be great, I�m sure!�

�Have all of you picked out your
costumes yet?� Max asked, deflecting the
subject.

Hilary pouted and glared at her
cousin. �I know what I want to be, but
Tala won�t co-operate and be my counterpart to the costume.�

Ice blue eyes rolled upward. �I refuse to wear a bloody toga, Hilary. Forget it.
It�s so�so��

�Frat-boy?� Bryan
supplied. Tyson snickered, Max grinned,
and Tala scowled.

�Shut up, Bry.�

�What was it you needed Tala to wear
a toga for?� Kenny inquired curiously.

�I wanted to go as Cleopatra, and
it�s only right that my �date� for the party be Marcus Antonius.� Hilary flipped her hair over her shoulder.

Max tilted his head thoughtfully,
considering it. �I think you would make
a great Queen Cleo, Hilary.� He said, a small hint of pink staining his freckled face.

The brunette female blinked and
blushed prettily. �Why thank you,
Max. That�s sweet.�

Tyson got an idea, and grinned
deviously. �Max could go as Antonius,
Hilary. Why don�t you two go to the
party together?�

Max�s blonde head whipped around to
stare at his friend with a �what the hell
are you doing to me?� expression of shock and nervousness. Okay, so he had liked Hilary for a long time
now, and maybe he hadn�t been able to work up the
courage to do anything about it yet, but come on!

Hilary�s eyes widened and her blush
deepened, but she nodded and looked down at Max in question. �That would be fine with me�� she agreed, pausing hesitantly. �Um�Max?
Would you�consider��

�Oh!
Ah�sure!�
The blonde turned, looking up and smiling
widely. �I was going to go as a Roman
gladiator anyway, so with a few changes��

�Great! Thank you!�

Tyson and chuckled
and nudged Kenny, who rolled his eyes under the fringe of his hair.

�What are you going as, Kenny?� Hilary asked the petit teen.

�A scientist.� Kenny replied on the spot. Everyone looked at him and shook their heads
collectively. �What?�

�That�s too easy, Chief!� Tyson sighed.
�That�s alright though. We�ll find you something much better. Won�t we, Max?�

�You bet!� The blonde,
forgetting his annoyance for the moment, totally agreed.

�What�s too easy?� A new voice inquired. Tyson glanced over as two more familiar teens
� a young man with extremely long, wrapped, raven-black hair and a young woman
with long, pink hair done up in a pony-tail � approached from the direction of
the high school�s main gates. They were
holding hands, in a way that was obviously comfortable and automatic to them. Since they were childhood sweethearts, this wasn�t much of a surprise.

�Hey, Mariah! Hi, Rei!� Max greeted them with his characteristic
exuberance. �We were talking about
Kenny�s costume for Kai�s Halloween party.�

�Ah.
Well, I�m quite sure whatever he chooses will be perfect for him.� Rei smiled, a hint
of pointy fang showing. �Mariah and I
are all set for costumes, too.�

�Really? What are you going as?� Tyson asked with great interest. He really needed ideas for himself.

�Rei is going as a spy � you know,
like in the movies.� Mariah looked up at
her boyfriend with a wink. �And I am
going as his female interest.�

�Ooooh! That�s
a great idea, Mariah!� Hilary shared
looks with her pink-haired friend. �And
guess what? Max agreed to help me out
and go as Marcus Antonius to my Cleopatra!�

�That�s fabulous!� Mariah giggled, glancing at the blonde, who had flushed red again. She caught Tyson�s wink and grinned back.

�Guys, if we�re going to any stores,
we�d better go right now.� Kenny
suggested, glancing at a pocket watch.
�It�s getting late and they�ll be closing soon.�

�Right. Come on, Tyson!� Max grabbed his sleeve and tugged him
forward. Stumbling after them, Tyson
waved over his shoulder at the group of teens they left behind.

�But we didn�t ask Kai what he was
going to be for the party!� The
bluenette could be heard protesting. They rounded another corner, out of sight and
ear-shot.

In the comfortable perch on the tree
limb, Kai Hiwatari leaned back and closed his eyes, shutting out the chatting
going on below amongst the people he called his friends, a small smile of
amusement flittering over his features.

You�ll have to wait and see, Kinomiya.
Wait and see�

~*~*~*~*~

The day of the party began with
mild, partially sunny weather. As far as
Tyson knew, everyone had their costumes and were ready
for the bash of the year. Even Kenny was
beginning to show signs of interest and excitement about the party. Though, that could be more to do with his
sudden decision to investigate any possible paranormal occurrences that should
happen while he was at the party, to �prove once and for all that ghosts didn�t
really exist,� as Kenny declared one
day at lunchtime, than for any other reason.

It was lucky for everyone that this
year Halloween fell on a Friday. It
meant that anyone going trick-or-treating, and/or any parties (including Kai�s)
would be able to do so without worrying about going to bed early so as to get
up for classes the next morning.

To that end, Kai had decided to let
the party run until midnight before he kicked everyone out. His parents were away, visiting his
grandfather, but they�d given permission to host the
party. Their house-servant, an older gentleman named Gregory, would help with the food, setting
up, and cleaning up � as well as be the �adult supervision� to keep everything
and everyone in line. Kai didn�t mind so much.
He liked Gregory and got along well with him, and in truth was glad for
the help. He�d
never hosted a social event before so he had no clue what he was doing, really.

The millisecond after the bell rang,
announcing the end of the last class o the day, Tyson was grabbing Kenny and
Max by their jacket sleeves and dragging them hurriedly out of the school, off
the grounds, and to his house to get ready.

�Geez,
Tyson!� Max laughed and shook his head
as he began peeling off his clothes to change into his costume. The three teens were in Tyson�s large bedroom
with costumes at the ready. � What�s gotten into you?�

�Yeah, really.� Kenny agreed, doing the same and digging out
pieces of his costume from his bag. �I
don�t think I�ve ever seen you this excited about a Halloween party before.�

Tyson shrugged, opening his closet
door to get out his own costume. �I don�t know what you mean, guys. I�m always excited for Halloween.�

�Yes, but this time it�s like�you
have a hot date or something.� Max
observed. Then he blinked, pausing in
fixing his Romanesque costume. �Or like there�s someone who�s going to
be at the party whom you want to
impress��

�Urk!� Tyson
blushed and turned away quickly to hide it.
�Uh�you�re just imagining things, Max.
Who would I be trying to impress, anyway?�

Kenny didn�t
even look up as he put on his shoes.
With a disbelieving snort, he stated flatly, �Kai, that�s who. You�ve been eyeing him for nearly a year and
a half now, after all.�

Max�s eyes nearly popped out of his
head. �What?! Kai?! Where have I been that I didn�t notice this?�

Tyson wanted to sink under the
floorboards in embarrassment. Leave it
to Kenny to notice everything that
goes on around him. Still, he tried
denying it as adamantly as he could muster.

�That�s ridiculous, Chief! Ha ha�I think you need to stop reading those psychology
textbooks. You�re reading too much into
anything��

�Kai? Really? Wow, Tyson�you don�t go for the easy ones, do
you?� Max, awed, shook his head. �But�does anyone know if he even�you
know�likes guys?�

�I have no idea.� Kenny shook his head, while Tyson attempted
to disappear into his closet. �That guy
is impossible to read.�

�Yeah, you have a point there. Actually, I wonder why he even invited us to this party of his, anyway.
It�s not like we�re all best buds or something�� Max observed, voice
muffled somewhat as he tugged the leather armour over
his head and wriggled into it.

Tyson, tuning them out, stripped off
his school uniform and started to put on his own costume � which he thought was
rather lame but it had been the only thing left that would fit him (and wasn�t
completely stupid-looking) at the last costume store they�d gone to.

�Maybe not, but we are friends with
Rei and Mariah, and with some of the others who are part of that circle. We�re not hated either.� Kenny pointed out. He was struggling to put on the hat that went
with his costume. �Are you sure this
outfit doesn�t look ridiculous on me?�

�It�s great, Chief!� Max exclaimed with a beaming smile. �Isn�t it, Tyson?�

�Yep. It�s a good costume for you.� Tyson smiled, too, and pulled on the pants of
his own costume, then the shirt, quickly buttoning it up. �At least you don�t look like one of the
Village People��

The other two teens snickered at his
grumbling. �Aww�come
on, Tyson! You look great and I�m sure
Kai will love the costume much more than we do!� Max winked at Kenny.

A shoe came
flying at Max�s head.

�Now, now�� Kenny intervened before
one of their infamous scuffles got started.
�Just finish getting ready, you two.
We�re going to be late getting there if you keep messing around like
this.�

Tyson grabbed the scarf and the hat
that went with his costume and walked over to the mirror that hung on the back
of his bedroom door so he could see what he was doing. Proceeding to tie the scarf appropriately, he
studied his reflection. �Well�I guess it
could be worse. It was this sailor
costume or the big purple dinosaur, after all.�

Max sniggered. �Oh, come on!
I still think the dinosaur costume would have been cute.�

�Mizuhara, you are going to
die.� Tyson launched himself at the
Roman armour-clad blonde in
a tackle. Kenny sighed.

�I�ll phone Kai and let him know
we�ll be late.� He said to the air,
resigning himself to the fact that these two would never grow up. Unconsciously straitening his elfin tunic and
hat self-consciously, he went to use the telephone.
