BLACK FEATHERS
3 years passed, Daisuke grew 3 years older. Daisuke was now 17 years old but still, he still lives with Dark as its host.
One Day…
Emiko Niwa, Daisuke's mother called him for breakfast.
"Daisuke-kun, it's time for breakfast!" Emiko called.
"I'm coming…" Daisuke said, with a sheer and inactive voice
He sat down on a corner.
Dark appeared.
Dark noticed that Daisuke was very gloomy since that day that up Risa had broken up with him.
"Hmm…I know you're still sad…." Dark said.
"Well, you noticed it?" Daisuke asked.
"Who wouldn't? You have been weeping for days; you haven't eaten for days…I can justify your movements…" Dark said.
"Well, you can tell me the reason why you're too sad." Dark replied.
"Well, you know Risa had broken up with me. I think another man devours her away from me…That man will pay!" Daisuke said.
Dark was surprised because he knew that Risa was in love with him. Daisuke didn't know that thing so he didn't answer.
"Okay. Okay. Chill down dude. Risa's not the only girl in the world. There is Riku, waiting for you….." Dark said.
Dark remembered that he liked Riku, since from now, he did'nt moved on from his feelings.
Dark became quiet all of a sudden.
"Hey, why are you speechless all of a sudden?" Daisuke asked.
"Well me? Oh, do not mind me. I am just notorious of something…" Dark said.
He just glanced at Daisuke and flew away.
"But…." Daisuke said.
While flying away, Dark felt something strange.
"Damn…" Dark said.
Daisuke went out and saw Risa.
Risa ignored him and continued walking.
"Hi Daisuke!" Riku said.
Daisuke turned around and saw Riku, glancing at him.
"Hi…." Daisuke said.
Daisuke traced Riku's happiness everytime they got to see each other but despite of Daisuke's innocence, he didn't wanted to ignore her nor dismantle her instead he just carry along his worries and go around with her.
"Want to go around?" Daisuke said, with a shy voice.
"S- Sure…Who wouldn't?" Riku said, with her face blushing.
"Uhm, are you feeling well?" Daisuke asked.
"You're face became too red of a sudden…" Daisuke added.
"No…I am okay…" Riku said.
They started walking.
(On the forest)
Risa was busy gardening when she saw black feathers falling down…
"Dark Mousy?" Risa asked.
She started searching for Dark when she opposed on him.
Dark caught her and they got to look on each other.
Risa blushed that it got her speechless.
"Next time be careful…." Dark said.
"Wait…." Risa said.
Dark turned around.
"Why?" Dark asked, sarcastically.
"T-Thank You…" Risa said.
"You don't need to thank me…." Dark said.
He flew away.
Risa was disappointed.
"Dark…." Risa said.
While he was flying away, he saw Riku and Daisuke walking together.
Dark felt something, er, like jealousy.
He flew away; unluckily Riku turned around and saw a black feather falling from the sky.
"Dark Mousy…." Riku thought.
"What is it, Riku-chan?" Daisuke asked.
Riku became nervous thinking that Daisuke will notice it. She threw the feather away so Daisuke won't see it.
"Oh, it was nothing…." Riku replied with a laughing voice.
"Oh well, can we proceed to our destination?" Daisuke mumbled.
"Sure…Sure!" Riku glanced.
They continue walking. It was dusk. It was getting late….
"Oh Daisuke…." Riku said.
Daisuke turned around.
"W-Why?" Daisuke asked.
"Just a favor….." Riku shyly said.
"What?" Daisuke asked, in a conscious voice.
"Because my feet hurts, are we near?" Riku asked.
Daisuke glanced at her and just said:
"Hold on my back, I will carry you until we get there…" Daisuke said.
"Well, are you sure about that thing, Daisuke?" Riku asked.
She was rejoiced.
Daisuke carried her until they get on the seashore.
Mio saw them.
(POV)
Daisuke just remembered that Mio was once a voodoo doll 3 years ago that was made by Kei to captivate him and Dark but she fell for Daisuke so she did her best just to save him. She sacrificed herself but she got on Riku's body but then fades away.
Now he can see a different aura beyond Mio, she acts normal, yet a normal person. She can smile and she can do anything.
But then a simple thought bothered me and made me wonder, how did she came all the way here even she was dead?
Mio took something away from her face. It was only a mask and it was Risa who was preparing our dinner.
Daisuke went too wrong that he felt ashamed. Luckily, he didn't call her 'Mio'.
And that time, Dark was on a branch of a tree hiding from anyone else especially on Riku, who appears as his first love.
Dark felt as the same way he felt a while ago. Jealousy, he felt that thing until that time.
Risa came near to us.
"Daisuke, Riku, I've prepared your dinner!" Risa said.
She went away.
When Daisuke turned back, he saw Risa glancing at him together with a smile and then hurriedly dashed away from the scene. Daisuke noticed that she was jealous.
He turned to Riku and saw her delighted.
Daisuke just led her to a seat and let her sat down.
They ate dinner with stoic and maneuverable faces; they avoid looking or staring at each other.
Yet that Dark was just gazing at them, Dark felt too sad that he even show up, again a feather fell from his wings.
Tears started to roll down on his eyes. He never felt that before. He started crying in despair which he never experienced before. He never thought that someone like him will have an innocent heart that will make him change.
From being sarcastic and playboy, Dark became something different. He became kind and emotional, he became sly. From being insensitive to sensitive. He became overprotected and he started hiding everything.
On that time, he felt he and Daisuke was separated from each other but he went wrong. While he was gazing at them, he noticed that Daisuke was just pretending because he doesn't want to hurt Riku's feelings.
After many hours, constellations appeared from the heavenly skies, it shaped like a feather and the other one shaped like an angel and the one on the middle shaped like a heart.
Daisuke come to think of his ally Dark Mousy, he know that he loves Riku that much but the matter is Riku loves him so much that he hated Dark for thinking that he was too evil for her. Thinking that Dark was too arrogant and insensitive, she usually avoids him everytime they've got to see each other.
Riku fell asleep. She leaned on Daisuke's shoulders.
Daisuke felt something. He was too rejoiced. On the other side, Risa was commemorating those times Dark had saved her in times she was in danger and that incident just a while ago.
She was in deep melancholy that she can't control herself. Tears started rolling down from her eyes.
She remembered the day she broke up with Daisuke.
"Risa-chan. What can you say about the skies?" Daisuke asked.
They gazed on the sky.
"Well, it seems nothing but those stars…" Risa replied.
She turned around and Daisuke comforted her.
She remembered Dark on that time when she comforted her.
"Risa…" Dark said.
She dragged herself away.
"Stop it, Daisuke…" Risa said.
"What's the matter Risa-chan? We are a couple. Am I right?' Daisuke asked.
"No, we were not a couple, and that wouldn't happen!" Risa said.
From acting insensitive, she started crying.
"Sorry, but I have to follow my heart…" Risa said.
Dark saw them together.
His black feather fell down.
"Sorry but we need to end everything between us!" Risa said.
She went away.
"From now on, I don't want to see you!" Risa said.
She dashed away, crying.
And that thought made her cry enough.
Dark went down.
He wiped up Risa's tears.
"Stop crying…" Dark said.
Risa was surprised. She turned around and she saw Dark.
She comforted Dark.
Dark was surprised.
Daisuke saw them.
"Dark….Risa-chan…"Daisuke said.
He felt jealous.
He started to cry. He was pretty hurt for what he has seen. Instead of anger, he cried that his depression got deeper.
"Please, let me comfort you…." Risa cried.
Dark comforted Risa.
Cherry blossoms from the tree began to fall down.
The black feathers fell down too.
And something weird happened, the moon shined very brightly and it shone on the cherry blossom and on the feather.
Daisuke, Riku, and Risa collapsed. Dark faded.
The sun shone.
Daisuke woke up and saw Dark.
He tried to wake up Dark. Dark accidentally kicked him.
"Oh Daisuke, sorry…" Dark said.
Daisuke began to wonder. He began to wonder. "What happened last night?" that thought makes him wonder.
He forgot everything that happened, even for the past days. All he knows was Dark and his family…
"Is there something strange that happened last night?"Daisuke asked.
"Well, Riku and you have dated… Don't you remember?" Dark asked, in a sarcastic voice.
"Riku, who is Riku?" Daisuke asked.
"Hey are you playing with me?" Dark asked in a nasty voice.
"No, I am serious…." Daisuke said.
He was on a serious tune and Dark was surprised. By the way, what happened last night?
