ok, so as you can see, chapter 2 is finally up. Sorry about the suuuuuuuuper long wait but I had tons of homework and I had trouble squeezing in the time to write the chapter, but I'll do my best to update as much as I can.
Daisuke and Satoshi walked in silence to the train station. Satoshi showed no emotion but the young Niwa was starting to get fidgety. He cast a sidelong glance at Satoshi, who continued to look straight forward.
"Hey Hiwatari?" he started. The sole Hikari glanced at him, so much for conversation. Daisuke tried again since this time he already had Satoshi's attention. "Why aren't you going to school in your limo? I thought that it was Hikari property so your dad can't access it." Daisuke could have sworn he saw his friend get a few shades paler.
Satoshi's POV.
I couldn't help but pale at Niwa's words.
"It is but the driver was hired by my father so it wasn't really an option since I was heading to your place and I had Krad with me." I said, then added as an after thought, "Looking and acting like a happy-go-lucky six year old no less." I scowled and Niwa smiled at me. I looked at him. "What?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Its nothing." He said with a smile plastered to his face. "It's just you're finally talking to me, I thought maybe you were mad or some thing." He said the smile never dropping from his face. Come to think of it I had never seen Niwa without one, I vaguely wondered if he ever frowned. "Hiwatari?" He asked waving a hand in front of my face. Gently, I pushed his hand away.
"What is it Niwa?" I asked. He looked at me.
"You wanna tell me why you and Krad were up since 4am? Dark and I have only been up for about an hour." He explained. I tensed. He must have noticed because he quickly added "I just thought maybe you'd tell me if they weren't around, it's ok if you don't want to, I'm not pressuring you to tell me anything." He said sheepishly. 'Dammit Satoshi, look at what you did now, your only friend thinks you don't trust him." I silently scolded myself. I turned to see Niwa start looking forward again. Awkwardly, I cleared my throat.
"Its not that," I started, unsure of how to go on. "Well, let's just say that I found out Krad kicks in his sleep and I had a rough morning." I said finally. Niwa nodded, biting back a laugh. He seemed to accept the answer I gave him. This morning came rushing back to me. I decided to tell Niwa as he was still looking at me expectantly.
~Flashback~
I turned in my sleep plagued by the last time I had seen that bastard who call himself an angel. Suddenly a felt a sharp pain in my gut, successfully jolting me from my nightmares. When I opened my eyes however was another nightmare. The sharp pain in my side was actually a six year old Krad kicking me in his sleep. 'No.' I thought. 'This isn't happening, it can't be happening.' I quickly did a double take and shook my head. It really was happening.
Acting on instinct I shoved him off the bed. Groggily he rubbed his eyes and looked at me.
"Satoshi-sama, why'd you push me?" He asked with adorable six year old eyes. I didn't care though, all I saw was the narcissist bastard who enjoyed nearly killing me by never limiting his magic. It disgusted me. I got up and strode past him. As I headed to the kitchen of the apartment I now owned, so that I wouldn't have to see my so-called father, and out of the corner of my eye, saw him following me with feigned curiosity. It finally struck me that I had no idea how the hell he was here glancing in his direction I quickly realized that he probably didn't know either. So I did the logical thing, I grabbed my coat and started heading over to the Niwa residence.
Luckily Krad continued to blindly follow me. I didn't want to talk to him. At some point between my apartment and the Niwa residence he shivered and unfolded his wings, wrapping them around himself to keep warm. That could not go unsaid.
"Get rid of those." I snapped, the pain of them stabbing through my back every time he took over my body fuelling my anger. "Don't ever let me see those things ever again." he nodded at me, terrified, and folded his wings away. A couple seconds later he was shivering again. Then I noticed that his clothes were linen, in the middle of winter too. Sighing I undid my coat and dropped it on him. Startled he looked up at me. I zipped up my hoodie and sighed. "Use that to warm yourself, I just never want to see those wings again, got it?" He nodded and smiled.
"Arigatou, Satoshi-sama!" He exclaimed bounding along side me. The corners of my mouth twitched.
Finally we reached the Niwa residence. I rung the bell and took my coat from Krad. He shivered but did not unfold his wings.
~Flashback End~
"And you know the rest." I finished. By the time I had finished the train had pulled up to the station. As we entered Niwa smiled at me.
"Sounds to me like you're finally warming up to him." Niwa grinned. I scowled.
"As if." I said as the train pulled up to the school's station.
We'll there you have it people, it's not as good as the last chapter but it's still something. I think that this story works better in 3rd person so you'll have to put up with my terrible 3rd person writing. I'm really sorry about the long wait but I think my teachers hate me because I've been getting piles of homework lately sorry again.
