The ghost

Part 4 - "Movie"

"Hey, kitsune! Don't ignore me! I wanna talk."
"But I wanna sleep."

Rukawa, already dressed in pyjama bottoms, buttoned his top, then quickly jumped under the covers. Hanamichi looked discontentedly at the blackhaired boy.

"I don't wanna sleep and I will not allow to you to do so",  declared Hanamichi and begun to sing his favourite song. "Ore wa tensai!.."

To Rukawa's great surprise, he, who usually fell asleep in two seconds flat, now could not fall asleep. "Probably it's because of the shock, which I have gone throughout today," he thought. "Moreover, there is that do-ahou with his daft song!.."

Meantime, Hanamichi sang his song really loudly for his only compelled, necessary listener.

"Shut up!!" Rukawa gave up. "Leave me alone!"

Hanamichi smirked contentedly. It wasn't often you got to see that kitsune losing his control and emotionalles facade. Now he wasn't the 'Ice King' he always was, but a furious cat.

"Leave me alone!" Rukawa shouted at the redhead.
"But what I should to do?!" wondered Hanamichi. "I don't want to sleep. And being alone is boring."

Rukawa came up with an idea in an instant.

"Go and watch TV or videos!" he said.
"Wow! That's a great idea!!" Hanamichi exclaimed with joy. "But... How I can turn on the TV? Have you forgotten - I'm a ghost?!.."

Rukawa growled angryly and rose up from his bed. He went downstairs into the living room and switched the TV on. Then he turned and went to his bedroom to sleep. Hanamichi watched Rukawa's retreating form, then seated himself in front of the TV set. They were showing an American film. "Ghost" - was its title.

"Wow, it's exactly like me!" Hanamichi exclaimed and started to watch the movie with unfeigned interest.
