This is placed before the final battle in the anime. Characters are OOC and there is character death.

It's my first so please be at least a bit nice (insert puppy eyes) and a series of short POV's.Any who on with the story

[Dark talking to Dai

'Dai thinking'

"Dai talking to Dark(or thinking)"

Boring stuff

Normal POV

Dai rode as fast as possible, his breath hitching in his chest as the wind blew back his hair.[Dai be careful. Everything is falling apart!"I see that Dark but I have to hur AHHHHH!!!"

He let out a scream as the bridge collapsed under him, throwing him into the ocean below.

[Daisuke!!!!! But darks cry was missed as the waves consumed the fallen boy and rubble that followed him.

Daisuke POV

Everything.

Dark.

Cold

Harsh.

Lost.

'D-Dark help m-me' but I knew the though was useless. I hit the sandy bottom and could do nothing as rubble fell from my new sky; covering my only escape.

Up.

I struggled to free myself but only managed to lose what little air I had. It was crushing, this water, and finally, I realized. I'm not leaving here. I wanted to cry, to scream, to do anything!!! But the world was going black. My body was going numb.

Then he came.

I saw him. Dark. In front of me. 'But how….'

[Dai don't leave me...Not yet! You can't! I felt him pulling at me, trying his best to free me. But it was useless. 'Doesn't he realize?'

Darks POV

He cant die…Not yet...I can't let him!! I tried to pull off the rubble to no avail. His body started to grow lax and I looked at his eyes.

He knows. He knows I can't help him.

"Dark…I'm going to die aren't I."

[No.

But it wasn't a question. It was a fact. He knew and I knew.

Why now before the fight. Wasn't I meant to leave him first? Yet here we were;I had him in my arms.

Daisuke.

The one who dared to stray from his path.

And there was nothing I could do but watch. Watch him leave me behind.

I couldn't help myself as tears blended in with the surrounding sea. The sea which I hated so much now. It wanted what was mine.

Daisuke POV

The light was fading. The water weighing me down. I felt as though fire coursed into my lungs instead of water as I tried to get air, any air. I looked over and saw Dark.

'Is he crying? Dark? I never knew….'the thought went unfinished as blackness swallowed me never to release me again.

Dark POV

I saw his eyes close, felt him slip away. Away from me. And there was nothing I could do. [ Why? Why did you do this?

There was no answer.

I leaned in and kissed his cold lips. One first kiss, our last kiss... I never would have the chance again. I left to finish the fight, and maybe, just maybe, to move on.

Later

"You'll kill us both" Krad cried as I pushed us both into the art. [I'm counting on it Krad

Light flashed around us as I felt my body's leave me behind. Still I was glad.

The light faded and darkness consumed us. And I was glad.

I would never see the day again. And I was glad.

Now maybe I could find him, maybe we can rest, together.

Maybe that wasn't our first and last kiss…just maybe.
