The game went on as per normal, the silly, silent sniggers and chaotic, carefree cackles. Everyone seemed happy and the day was going on swell. Then two girls passed by, laughing together as they joked about too. (Aoki-san and I will be the cameos you see!) “How aboutttt—OOO, how about Dark and Light...?” She all but whispered to her near 6 ft friend.
”Hmmm, sure, sounds good.” She grinned, an abrupt cough brought their attentions to the chosen ones they were talking about mere minutes ago. “You…want us for…?” Dark queried, cocking her head to the side as did Light before she shot out, “Who are you?” It came out quite harsher than she expected, but hey, you can’t be too careful right?
“Oh! Sorry!” The shorter of the pair smiled sheepishly, she massaged the nape of her neck, dragging her stubby fingered-hand up her scalp to the top of her chestnut brown hair, where they rested comfortably. “My name is Chat Noir. This one—“ she chuckled out the last part, while trying to drill a hole through her friends shoulder, “—is Aoki. Do you mind if we told you guys this in private?”
Light bolted up, wanting to get this done and overwith so they could return to their game quickly. She glanced at her petite friend, whose eyes were painted with a generous coating of the varnish known as skepticism. “It’ll be fine Dark! Come on.” She persuaded and finally a reluctant hand gripped hers and Dark steadily pulled herself up.

“Okay so, we’re uh—writing this story about two girls who go on this murder adventure! They work together to try and find the murderer but it ends up being a close friend of theirs.” Chat hastily explained, she was out of breath by the last word, letting Aoki explain what they were needed for.
Light pondered for a moment before denying, “Please…! You guys look really similar to us so we need it to be you!” “No.” Light was adamant towards Chat, she didn’t bother to even bat an eyelash in her direction to disagree more. “…okay…” she sighed, shoulders slumped and curving inwards with her pained expression. Aoki–who was very protective over her average sized midget–glared at her tall mirror-image.
“WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?” She screamed, begining to argue with Light. Both girls were rather short-tempered and determined to win this argument, both for their own sakes and their little friends. Meanwhile, Chat covered her ears with her palms, she hated shouting, especially if it was hate boosted. She tried to move away but a right yank on the collar of her shirt sent her flying back to Aoki’s side.
Heaving out a heavy breath, she remained still, waiting for the overboiling pot to simmer down. “Hey…!” Dark whispered, getting her attention, Chat let out a small hum before turning to her, “You’re welcome to write about me if you want.” She smiled warmly, stifling out a lighthearted laugh at the girl’s open mouthed expression. “Wai—what. Real—Really?! You’re serious?”
A crisp nod was all it took for Chat to run and hug the girl. “YAYYYYY” Shocked by the sudden happiness of the shorter duo, Light and Aoki stopped their heated discussion. They asked for a recount in unision, which both girls explained together.
”Well…ugh—fine. I’ll let you write about me.” Defeated, Light grunted and Aoki smirked, sticking out her long hand, “Nice doing business with you!” She mocked.
“I’m getting Bill Cipher vibes from you..I can almost see the flame on your hand...just what are you?”Light queried squinting her eyes at her mirror image.
“Nothing”Aoki giggled back her pupils dilating even smaller.Light only shivered back in response.
The quartet split ways and soon Dark and Light headed back to their group.

On the way, Dark let out a low hiss. “Dark? You good?” Her best friend questioned, pressing a palm onto her shoulder as Dark felt a surge of adrenaline rush through her veins and thoughts violate her mind;
‘Kanato.
Luminol.
A mug with 4 neatly painted in red letters.
“STAY…AWAY FROM HIM!!” ’
Dark stumbled backwards, hands gripping the sides of her head in a panic, the abrupt force even tugging and pulling out strands of hair. “DARK!” Light shared in her hysteria, kneeling down slightly so she was somewhat her height. “Ugh…” The younger groaned, “Light…what…was that?” The taller shook her head in confusion, helping her up and back to the group again.

Later that evening Dark scripted out the exact things she saw to her partner in crime: Kanato, the white ceramic mug, Luminol, and the shouting. Oh, the shouting, it was what really spooked her. Who was it? Why were they shouting?
Hope melted in their hearts as they wondered when the answers would come.
