--Breaking Mirrors--
Chapter 2
I am Moon
As the minutes passed by down at the beach with Riku and Daisuke, Satoshi was left alone in his room, with the tick-tock of the clock and the wide windows as his only sense of companion. He thought about going to check up on things in the summer home but decided against it for he knew that he'll just get swept up in his work again too soon for him to enjoy anything that was worth to be enjoyed.
Thinking that it might be a good time to wander around the house for a few quiet minutes, Satoshi stood from his bed and slowly left the room, closing the door behind him.
He walked past the kitchen, all lit up with crystal chandeliers and decorated with angel statues all around. He walked past the living room, where plants are to be found everywhere in every little corner possible. And then he walked past the dining room, the most extraordinary piece of room in the summerhouse. The carpet was colored deep red, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and all of the chairs were decorated with intricate markings that would make anyone awe in amazement. Yes, this was the most extraordinary room but the one thing that made everything unbalanced was the uneven chair at the very end of the long table.
The chair, or rather, a "one-winged" chair, was colored in pure white but had slashes of black ink covered all over it, almost as if it represented the color red. One of the legs was broken off so it stood very awkwardly on it's other three legs.
Satoshi looked at the one-winged chair with disgust in his burning blue eyes.
"You know what will happen to her, Satoshi." A voice comes to him.
"Hey! Daisuke! Look at this!" Riku happily held up a seashell in front of her face.
"Wow, we saw these last year, didn't we, Riku?" Daisuke walked over to her and leaned down to get a closer look at the shell that she held in her small hands.
"Yeah. It really brings back a lot of memories, doesn't it?"
"It was so fun the last time we went here but… Sometimes I feel like… Forgetting, you know? It was all just so… Painful…" Daisuke looked out to the sea, his eyes reminisced of a painful story.
Riku became quiet as she heard Daisuke's words. Even she thought everything that happened a year ago was painful too. But even so…
"But even so… We can still live on because we know that everything that happened here, good or bad, will help us bring life into the future, along with new and happy memories, right?" Riku smiled at Daisuke to let him know that everything will always be all right as long as they had each other.
"Yeah, you're right. Nothing good will come out of worrying about the past…" Daisuke looked out to the sea with renewed interest. "Shall we go back to the house then?" He asked.
"Yeah, let's go!" Riku beamed.
Daisuke stood and held out his hand. Taking the favor, Riku took his hand and they went off towards the summerhouse, together.
Satoshi felt sick. His head was in pain and his body felt hot. Walking in the empty hallway didn't make his pain feel any better. But as he dragged his feet to his room, he heard a sudden loud noise coming from the Harada's room. A sudden impulse in him made him sprint towards the room and when he opened the door, he saw Risa lying on the ground, unconscious and all around her were fragments and pieces of the windows in the room scattered everywhere.
"Risa?!" A panicked voice came from the hallway along with running footsteps.
Satoshi quickly turned around to see who it was but when he realized it too late, Risa was gone.
"Risa!!" Riku and Daisuke quickly came running into the room, out of breath. Gasping at what they saw, they both looked at Satoshi for an explanation.
Satoshi's back faced them but he knew that they both would want some answers as to what just happened. Realizing that Risa could be in danger if he didn't do anything, Satoshi ran out the door shouting behind him, "Risa's in danger if we don't do something quick!"
"What?! What do you mean?! Hiwatari!" Riku called after Satoshi but he had already ran out of sight. Riku was panicking inside. Her sister was gone and now Satoshi was shouting that Risa might be in danger. "Just what is going on here?! And why are all of the windows broken?!"
"Daisuke, what's going on? Is Risa…" Riku didn't want to say those painful words so she kept quiet, hoping that Daisuke would be strong for her.
"I think… he knows what's going to happen." With that, Daisuke dashed out the room while saying to Riku, "Stay here. I think I can help find Risa!"
"But Dai-" Riku felt weak as she called out to Daisuke. Her vision went blurry and her body ached with pain. "What… Why am I…"
Before Riku could finish her sentence, she collapsed onto the floor. Daisuke, hearing something fall to the ground, ran back to the room and saw Riku collapsed on the floor. Her body was heating up.
"Riku! Hang in there! What should I do?!" Daisuke gently picked up Riku and ran to the living room. "It should be safer here. Riku, wait for me."
Daisuke placed her on a couch and ran out the door, following the path Satoshi took.
Satoshi was in the forest alone as he tried to search for something. Looking all around him, he realized just where it was. Gazing at the top of a tree, he cried out, "Come out, Luna!"
The person Satoshi shouted to was sitting at the top of a tree and she looked down on him with detest in her eyes. Walking gracefully to one tree branch to another, she carefully landed safely down onto a tree branch low enough that her eyes met with Satoshi's.
"Why are you in that form, Luna?!" Satoshi shouted with anger in his voice and hatred in his eyes. "Why did you take Risa?!"
The girl up on the tree looked exactly like Risa but her voice was that of someone else's. She looked at Satoshi and answered in a voice of distant longing, "I think this girl will help me meet him again. I've been waiting for so long and finally…" Risa's body started glowing as the mysterious girl said these words and as she did, she pulled out a mirror and held it like it was her own child.
But just before she finished, Satoshi heard rustling in the bushes behind him but he did not avert his eyes from Luna.
"That's very clever of you to not look away. But don't worry, I won't leave this place. This place… is special." Luna smiled at Satoshi who glared back.
When the rustling stopped, a boy with red hair appeared. Daisuke looked at Satoshi and then to Risa, who stood tall and still on the tree branch.
"Satoshi, what's going on? Why is Risa standing up there?" Thinking that something was definitely wrong with this scene, he quickly ran to Satoshi's side and said, "Whatever's going on, I want an explanation. Riku fainted and now Risa is acting weird. Satoshi… did you plan this?" Daisuke looked at him with piercing eyes.
"Daisuke… I'll explain later but right now, that's not Risa. An evil spirit has possessed her and is now using her body so whatever you do, do not harm Risa. Be on your guard." Satoshi looked at Luna and thought to himself, "I guess I underestimated you."
"I'll help you fight then!" Daisuke knew he didn't have black wings anymore but even so, he still wanted to help Risa.
"Don't…" Risa's body started slowly glowing again, this time, she lifted off of the tree branch. She appeared almost heavenly.
"What's happening to Risa?" Daisuke look at Risa's floating body with frightened eyes.
"Don't…" She repeated.
Satoshi realized what was going to happen and rushed towards Daisuke.
"Daisuke, look out!!"
"INTERFERE!!"
A beam of light steamed across the forest from Luna's mirror and traveled directly towards Daisuke. But as it did, Satoshi ran to him and pushed him out of the way just before he was directly hit. But as he did this, he took the fatal blow instead of Daisuke.
Tumbling on the ground, Daisuke quickly got up and saw to his horror that Satoshi was struck by the beam of light. "Satoshi!"
Satoshi yelled out in pain as his body was torn up by Luna's power. As the beam died down, Daisuke ran over to Satoshi's limp body and quickly made sure that he was still alive. "Satoshi?! Answer me! Satoshi!" Daisuke called to him but no answer was heard.
"Come on Satoshi, I can't do this without you!"
Luna gracefully floated down to the ground and said to Daisuke, "Just as I thought. It's best to deal with the smarter ones first, that way when they're down, the weaklings will be powerless and forced to beg for mercy." Luna took her mirror and aimed it at Daisuke. "Now, how shall we finish this?"
"I need to find a way to get out of here fast! Everyone will be in danger if I can't escape!" Daisuke was at his wit's end and nothing would come into his head. He had to find a way to escape before Luna powered up again. But with Satoshi down, moving fast won't be an easy thing to do.
"What am I going to do?!"
"Before I finish you off, I guess it would be rude of me to not introduce myself first." As Luna's mirror slowly started glowing, she said quietly, "I… am Moon."
A beam of light soared towards Daisuke.
