Monkey: Hello everybody! I'm back with the sequel to Who's Scared Now!! XD (And I thought about just making a long one shot with answers, but I figured I'd end up screwing that up somehow, soooo, I'll stick to the sequel xD) And if you guys haven't read Who's Scared Now, I suggest you read that first, then decide if you want to read Change of Heart, otherwise, this fic won't make much sense.

Cookee: It's about time the readers got some answers.

Monkey: Yeah well, I've been pretty busy. u.u" But anyway, I'll be updating this as soon as I can! x3 This fic will probably be about the same if not longer than WSN. Oh, and no, the name of the fic has nothing to do with the Change of Heart magic card from the YGO TCG, but there is a reason for the title, you'll just have to wait and see! xD

Cookee: Aren't you forgetting something?

Monkey: Ehm, sorry it took me so long to come up with a sequel and thank you to all of you who reviewed the last chapter of WSN and asked for the sequel? o.o;

Cookee: That too but, think of it this way, if you don't do this you'll get sued.

Monkey: Ah! I own nothing but the idea!! xD

Cookee: Enjoy!


"Scared?"

"Y-yes! Please… please stop!"

"No."

Haou awoke suddenly, his breath short, his heartbeat quick.

He looked around. Shadows danced across his walls, mocking him. The moonlight was his only source of luminosity.

That dream… I wasn't saying those things… so who was? Haou shook his head and sat up on his bed. He brought his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them. This is getting so old. I haven't figured out who's behind all this and it's driving me crazy.

He shook his head and slowly got off the bed. Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night or later, he could never get back to sleep. He found his shoes and put them on. As quietly as he could, he walked out of his room and down the stairs.

He was still staying at Jehu's house for the time being. He wouldn't admit it, but he didn't want to go back to his house while all this was going on. At least here, he had Jehu.

But whatever it was that was 'haunting' him, had followed him to Jehu's house.

Haou reached the bottom of the stairs and noticed that the kitchen light was on. He raised a brow and walked over there.

"Hi Haou." Jehu greeted him with a cup of coffee. Haou accepted it and looked at him.

"How'd you know I was awake?"

"You've been waking up at ungodly hours of the day for two weeks now, I can kind of guess when you're going to wake up, and I know that you can't go back to sleep, so I figured I'd stay up with you."

Haou nodded slowly and went to sit down at the table. Jehu followed him out and kissed the top of Haou's head when the brunette sat down.

"You know I hate it when you do that." Haou commented as the bluenette sat down across from him.

"You hate a lot of things about me."

"I hate you."

"Exactly. So then why do you love me?"

Haou closed his eyes, took a sip of his perfectly heated coffee and avoided the question completely. "You should go back to sleep. You're letting your fangirls get you too much with your lack of sleep."

Jehu shrugged. "You may not want it, but I like keeping you company. Especially with all this shit going around." He drank some of his own coffee and the two sat in silence.

Haou placed the cup down on the table and kept his eyes closed.

Scenes of chaos appeared in his mind. A dark laughter echoed through his ears.

"Haou?" Jehu called out, snapping the brunette out of his thoughts and quickly opening his eyes. "What happened?"

Haou stared at him for a couple seconds before his wide eyes went back to normal. "Nothing." He stood up and took the cup of coffee with him. "Thanks for the coffee. I'll see you in the morning."

Jehu watched Haou leave and frowned. Haou…

---

Haou was walking home from school. His thoughts drifted to the weird happenings going on with him. After a while, he noticed he wasn't anywhere near his house or Jehu's.

Oh crap. He looked around and stopped walking. As he searched for a sign of something that could lead him back home, he felt someone watching him.

Golden eyes alert, he saw a cloaked figure on the opposite side of the street was facing him, sunglasses on his face. The man was standing at a bus stop and he was completely covered up so Haou could see nothing except the sunglasses.

Was he the one watching him? Or was Haou just becoming paranoid?

Haou kept his gaze on the man until a bus blocked his view. But the bus just kept going, as if the man waiting wasn't standing at a stop.

When the bus passed, the man was gone.

Haou blinked. Tch. Straight out of a horror movie, I'm pathetic.

A scream escaped his lips when he felt someone wrap their arms around his waist.

"Haou, relax, it's just me." Jehu spoke softly in his ear.

Haou elbowed him in the stomach, forcing the bluenette to let him go. "Asshole! You scared me!"

Jehu chuckled.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Haou looked around. He had no idea where he was at, so what was Jehu doing here? "Where are we?"

Jehu shrugged. "I was gonna go buy some groceries and I saw you."

Haou turned around and raised a brow. "Groceries?"

"What? I have to eat. And you do too since you're temporarily living with me. There has to be food in my house and I can't ask you to go get it for me." He kissed Haou. "Anything in particular you want me to get you?"

"Something to lock you in." Haou mumbled nearly inaudibly.

"What?"

"Chocolate pudding."

Jehu grinned. He was the only one who knew Haou liked chocolate pudding.

"Alrighty. Let's go."

They walked together and Haou did his best to ignore the cloaked person staring at them from across the street, in the same place that he had been in before.

---

Haou felt uncomfortable. He stared up at his ceiling in deep thought since he couldn't sleep.

Who or what the hell was causing all this shit? And why?

Not to mention, he accidentally dragged Jehu into all this by telling him what was going...

Something didn't feel right.

His suspicions were confirmed when he felt a hand wrap around his throat.

But he didn't see anything.

Haou's gold eyes went wide as his hands shot up to his neck. He felt something slowly cut off his breathing.

... But there was nothing there!

Haou's eyes glowed. He couldn't breathe... And he couldn't stop whatever was choking him.

"A... a-ah..." His eyes moved around frantically. Nothing was in front of him yet he could feel something applying deadly pressure to his neck.

"... AHHH!" Haou awoke screaming and gasping for breath.

Jehu came in moments later, having heard Haou's scream from the room next door. "Haou!" He rushed to his side. "What happened? What's wrong??"

Haou took deep breaths to calm himself. His hands flew to his neck. His golden eyes locked with amber ones and he hugged the bluenette.

Of course, he later blamed his half-asleep/half-dead state of mind for doing that.

Jehu was a little surprised at first but then returned the embrace. "What happened?" he whispered.

Haou didn't reply.

Jehu sighed. Hugging him and answering him? No way was he that lucky.

So they simply stayed in that position until finally, Haou fell asleep.

Jehu gently laid him down and carefully ran his fingers through Haou's two-toned hair. He leaned down and kissed Haou's forehead.

"Goodnight Haou."

---

Haou awoke in the morning more calmly than last night.

"It was... all a dream?" Sitting up and swinging his legs to the side, he got off his bed. Slowly, he walked to the mirror in the room.

He scanned his reflection. Gold eyes widened when he saw his neck had a bruise... in the shape of a hand.

Haou made a fist. "Why...?"

Jehu knew something was off when he saw Haou in the morning.

"Why are you wearing a turtleneck shirt? It's like ninety degrees out today," Jehu asked as he met up with the brunette at the foot of the stairs.

"No reason." Haou lied. There was no way Jehu would believe that some ghost choked him during the night and now he had bruises on his neck. "Now, are you coming with me or what?" He walked passed the silent bluenette and opened the front door. "I'll see you at school, Jehu."

He walked out and closed the door behind him.

Jehu sighed. He looked at the mirror behind him and saw Haou's reflection staring directly at him even though Haou wasn't even in the house.

He wasn't stupid. Haou didn't want to say anything, but all this went beyond someone just trying to scare Haou.

His amber eyes saw what Haou saw, but he never said anything about them. It wouldn't help if they both freaked out. Every time he saw a shadow glide across the wall, a frozen reflection, or anything along those lines, he never said anything and instead tried to figure out what was behind it.

He could see how this was affecting Haou. The brunette refused to be helped and didn't like to talk about what he saw or heard when Jehu wasn't around.

He stared at Haou's reflection and watched it move. It picked up a gun and held it up to its temple. Jehu looked away when it pulled the trigger. He looked back and saw Haou's reflection was gone, instead replaced by a splatter of blood. Jehu closed his eyes. He could practically hear the sound of a gun firing even though there was none. He opened his eyes and his own reflection was staring back at him, moving as he did.

Jehu raked a hand through his blue locks as he watched his reflection do the same. He narrowed his eyes when his reflection's hand came out covered in blood.

Damn. Jehu looked away from the mirror and picked up his backpack. What's going on here? And why is it after Haou?

He never once thought that whatever was after Haou was after him too.

He shook his head and walked of the house; never noticing his reflection was still on the mirror and was holding up Haou's lifeless body with a smirk on its face.
