Warnings: I'm pretending the anime ending never happened. So this is going the based off the abrupt ending of the manga and make assumptions as to what happened from there.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Summary is from Star Trek: The Original Series.
A/N: Dark deserves love. And if I'm being completely honest with you, I never liked Risa (other stories involving her notwithstanding). So I'm not pairing her with him here, and only for sake of avoiding two OC characters am I putting her with my Satoshi.
Over 300 years ago, a great artist of the Hikari family made a terrible bargain in order to bring his masterpieces to life. These works of art were beautiful… and dangerous. So dangerous that the greatest thief of that generation swore to steal all of them, to keep them away from innocents.
But the Hikari was not to be dissuaded. He created one more great work of art. The Black Wings. And from this painting a curse emerged, set in motion by the Hikari and Niwa who brought it into play.
Dark and Krad.
For a time, both men thought that the destruction of the artwork would be the end of their curse, their feud. But fifteen years later, it became apparent that their curse was only just beginning. That Dark and Krad would be doomed to like in an endless cycle of reincarnation within their families.
For how long, neither family knew…
Niwa Daisuke had felt a strange sort of aloneness ever since Riku had discovered his alternate identity but professed her love for him anyone. It was on that day that he felt Dark slip away from his mind with a smirk and a wave. Daisuke loved Riku, she was his Sacred Maiden, and he knew she loved him, too (Dark's disappearance was proof of that), but he had grown so used to Dark's presence that his mind felt… empty without him. Even before the Niwa family curse had activated, Dark had been inside him. Now there was nothing. Now he was alone in his own body.
But, as he gazed down at the tiny newborn body of his son, with his wife smiling at him in exhaustion, he knew it would only be a matter of time before he got to meet Dark again.
