Chapter 2: Surprising Events
I was quickly getting ready in my black dress for the funeral that I really did not want to go to. I hated funerals, I didn't want to see anyone crying, and I really didn't want to cry. When I was ready I go downstairs and see Daisuke-kun in the kitchen. He looks at me and gives me a small smile. All I could think about was him possibly being Dark. I walk away from him and go get something to eat.
"So, I'm guessing you remember..." Daisuke-kun tells me quietly. I turn and stare at him in shock.
"Eh?! I thought that was a dream!" I tell him in shock.
He looks up at me and gives me a look. He knew I knew it wasn't a dream. I wonder if he's afraid of me telling people.. If that's the case, he's an idiot because he knows I won't tell anyone.
"You know Dai-chan, why do you keep that a secret?" I ask him in thought.
He looks at me as if I was insane. Then I realized what I said and smacked myself in the head. "Nevermind, that was a stupid question..." He nods to me and smiles.
"It's not like it's something you can go around telling. I'd get too much attention, and Riku-chan would hate me." Daisuke-kun tells me looking down.
I then just remember that I am in Riku-chan's house. I look around to see if she was anywhere near. "Oh, don't worry, they went out a long time ago to get something for you." Daisuke-kun tells me nodding.
"Then how did you get in hear?" I ask him in confusion.
"Let's just say I am good with my hands..." He tells me smiling.
I look at him in confusion for a moment and then realize something. Well, since he is a phantom thief by night he should be able to do things normal people can't...right? Risa-chan then walks into the room and I see her crying.
"What's wrong?" Daisuke-kun asks in worry.
What a little faker... What? Because she hasn't been getting attention now she wants some? Wow, I hate her so fucking much. I close my eyes and leave the room without a sound. I didn't want to see poor little Risa crying.
I go into my room and lay on the bed for a moment and then think of something. If Daisuke-kun is Dark, and Dark is Daisuke-kun, does that mean that Dark can hear everything Daisuke-kun hears and the other way around? In that case...that would suck. I then hear the door open. I sit up to see Riku-chan walking into the room, her eyes red.
"Riku-chan, what's wrong?" I ask her getting up and going over to her in worry. She wipes her eyes and doesn't say anything.
"Kari-chan, how can you not cry?" Riku-chan asks in disbelief.
I look at her in shock. I want to break down crying, but I can't. If I do, I'm afraid I'm going to go into a depression. And I really don't want that to happen. "Riku-chan, I have to stay strong. If I cry, I don't know what will happen." I tell her wiping my tears away.
I didn't even realize I was crying. I didn't want to. I tried my hardest not to through the whole experience with my mom going in and out of the hospital constantly. And now I realize, she's gone. And she's never going to come back.
I fall to the ground crying. I didn't want any of this, I don't want her to be gone. It's not fair! Riku-chan comes next to me and starts comforting me. She then looks up and sees someone at the door. "Daisuke-kun, can you get me some water?" I hear her ask quietly. I then hear footsteps leaving and coming back.
"Here Kari-chan." She tells me handing me the water. I shake my head, I didn't want it. I just didn't want anything anymore. I wanted to sit here and die. I then hear Risa-chan calling for Riku-chan. Riku-chan sighs and then asks Daisuke-kun to watch over me. She then leaves and Daisuke-kun comes over to me.
"Kari-chan, we have to get going soon." Daisuke-kun tells me quietly.
"I'm not going!" I tell him shaking my head. I hear a sigh, but it wasn't Dai-chan anymore. I look up in shock and see Dark sitting beside me. I stand up quickly and back away from him.
"What's wrong?" He asks in question.
"Don't do that randomly. It scares the crap out of me." I tell him obviously. "It's not like it's normal to have your best friend sitting beside you and then a complete stranger!"
He looks down in thought and then smirks. "But I'm not a complete stranger." I stare at him in annoyance, sure he's famous. I know things about him because Risa-chan never stops talking about him and it gets quite annoying...
"But I still don't know you...like at all. It's all only what I hear, and that is that you are a pervert." I tell him smiling innocently.
He sighs. "That's because Riku-chan thinks I am." He tells me smiling.
"And she has every right to!" I tell him annoyed.
"It was only a little kiss..." He says innocently.
"Yeah, and what if I was your girlfriend and you made that little kiss? Do you think I would be all like...'Oh it's okay, it was an accident'?" I say obviously.
"My girlfriend?" He teases me.
I glare at him. He knew what I meant, and that was nothing to do with me wanting to be his girlfriend. I was only making a point. "She didn't like you, and now if you ever go out with her sister she'll hate you even more." I tell him wiping my tears away.
"Why are you crying?" He asks me in question.
"Because, I don't want to go to this stupid funeral!" I tell him obviously. He looks down sorrily. She knew that there was nothing he could do. And it made her want to cry even more. But the only problem was...she didn't know why.
"Well, you and I could ditch it?" He suggests. "But of course that wouldn't be a good idea because your father would be alone." I then remembered my dad, and how upset he was. I miss him.
I look up at him and nod and then go out of the room and down the stairs. I look at the clock and see it's time to go. "Let's go!" I call to everyone. Risa-chan came out of her room smiling. I wanted to rip her face off and feed it to the wolves. I get into the car that is waiting for us and it takes us to the church.
Once everything was done and over with everyone went home. My dad left with my grandparents and I stayed at my mom's grave for a little while longer. I sat on my knees and stayed in a prayer position for who knows how long. I was begging for this to all be a dream. I wanted to wake up. I wanted to die. I wanted her to come back.
I clench my hands on the grass and just sit there sobbing. "I don't want this to be real!" I close my eyes and hear someone come up behind me. I stand up quickly and stare at the person wearing all white. He sort of looked like Dark, actually...now that I think of it, he and Dark could pass as twins!
But this guy had blond hair golden eyes. He also had an aura that was much different than Dark's, his was...murderous almost. It scared me to death. "Who are you?" I ask cautiously. The guy stares at me with a smirk on his face. I start backing away from him slowly, but he was coming towards me at the exact same time.
"My name is Krad." He tells me wickedly.
That name sounded familiar, but I don't know from where. I then remember my mom telling me something about someone named Krad, but it was when I was really little. I try remembering, but nothing came to me. "Okay, so what do you want? I mean you don't know me, I don't know you..." I say in a quiet voice.
He only smiles at me evilly. My heart skips a beat. I shake my head slightly and continue looking at him. "Oh Kari-chan, we know each other...we know each other very well." He tells me obviously. Not that I knew anything he was talking about. I don't know anyone named Krad...
"What do you mean?" I ask him in question. He comes closer to me and grabs my arm. He then looks at my mother's grave.
"Oh poor Rina-chan, she died so suddenly." He says smirking. How does he know my mother? I was about to ask him when he turned and stared into the shadows. I took this chance as a chance to run, but he caught me in seconds. How is this possible? I struggle to get away from him but then I hear Dark's voice.
"Kari-chan, calm down. It's only me.." I hear him say, but I didn't believe him for a second. I saw the white clothing and I knew he was only trying to trick me.
"STOP IT!" I yell at him and release my elbow and I feel it go into his stomach. He groans and falls to the ground. But then I realized I was wrong, and it really was Dark...it was just that he was wearing Daisuke-kun's pajamas! "Oh my god! I am so sorry!" I yell at him in shock. I get down next to him and make sure he's alright.
"So, I see you've met Krad." He tells me looking up and smiling. I look up and see that guy still standing there with us. I was shocked, what was he still doing here? "You can leave now."
"Why should I leave? I am only doing my job." Krad says to Dark obviously.
"Well it's fine now because I'm taking over..." Dark tells him sitting cooly. I stare at the two of them, I wonder if they are brothers. I was going to ask when they got into an argument.
"You can't just come randomly and take over when you never did anything before!" Krad says angrily. What in the hell are they talking about? I am so confused. They're talking about me like I'm a tool or something...
Dark was about to say something when I cut in. "What are you two idiots talking about?" I ask in annoyance. The two of them look at me, they probably forgot I was even there... I sigh and then they both come up to me.
"We're here to protect you." Dark tells me softly.
"But only one of us has been doing that!" Krad says annoyed.
"And I'm guessing that's you." I say gesturing to Krad. Dark looks down as Krad nods. "And why do I need protection?" That got them both stuck. They both look at each other giving each other death glares. "Okay enough. Tell me what the fuck is going on alright."
"We can't tell you." Krad tells me continuing to stare at Dark.
"Why not?" I ask in confusion. "I'm the one getting protected, I should know from what!" They both look at me and shake their heads in sync. They are brothers... But why do they hate each other?
"It's not time for you to know. But, it's not my fault your mom is dead." Dark says glaring at Krad.
"It wasn't my fault either. I wasn't there, it was never my job to protect Rina-chan." Krad says obviously. "You were the one that fell in..." Dark punched him before Krad could finish. Wait, was he going to say that he was in love with my mother? No, that's impossible! I stare at the two of them for a moment and say nothing.
"Were you in love with my mother?" I ask Dark in question. Him and Krad both stare at me as if I was insane, so I guess I was wrong... But then, who could he be in love with? Maybe it wasn't love, it could've been something else! I sigh and just give up. I then see something coming towards us, it looked like a girl. Dark and Krad look at where I was looking and then go in front of me in defensive positions.
She lands right in front of them and smirks. She looks at the two of them for a moment and then races right passed them in front of me. "What?" She says in disgust. "Is this?" I look around in confusion. Was she talking about me?
"Um, I'm not a what.." I tell her obviously.
"Kari-chan, don't make her angry." Dark warns me.
"Why not?" I ask in confusion.
"Because she'll kill you." Krad tells me as the girl smirks.
"It's nice to finally meet you Kari-chan!" She says smiling and then hands something to me. "This is a note that your mother left me before she died!"
Why did she seem so excited? It's bothering me... I look over at my mother's grave and feel tears coming to my eyes. I then started crying again. The girl stares at me in shock. "Um, I don't know how to deal with crying humans!" She yells at the two guys.
Dark sighs and comes over to me and hugs me. I gasp in shock and then calm down slightly. What is this feeling? Probably shock. Nothing more. No one spoke for a moment until I heard the girl's voice. "He said that if anything happens to her you're both dead." She tells Krad. I heard this worried tone in her voice. It made me curious. Maybe she likes him?
"What's your name?" I ask her while turning towards her getting out of Dark's grip and going over to her. Her ice blue eyes were full of questions. Her shoulder length brunette hair was blowing in the wind which made her look like she was more serious then she just was. "Who are you?"
She smiles at me and then bows her head. I was shocked by this. "I am your best friend." She tells me happily. "Or at least I was when..." She was saying until Dark cut her off.
"Shut up!" He yells at her. Krad gives Dark a look and then looks at the girl. Huh? This is so weird...
"Anyways, Dark is an idiot if you haven't figured that out yet. He's also obsessed with women, but what phantom thief isn't?" The girl tells me chuckling to herself. Dark gives her a look and she gladly returns it.
"I'm not." Krad says obviously.
"Because you're boring..." Dark says sounding bored to death. I stare at him for a moment. I then look at the girl, I still don't know who she is...
"Oh, right! I'm Nana-chan!" She says coming up to me and giving me a hug.
"Okay, I'm going home." I tell them walking away.
"Kari-chan, wait!" I hear Daisuke-kun call from behind me. "Come stay at my house while you don't want to be at home!" I stare at him for a moment and then look and see Satoshi-kun, someone else from my school. He's the one that's always trying to capture Dark. Wait! Are Satoshi-kun and Krad like Daisuke-kun and Dark?!
"Why?" I ask in confusion.
"Because it would be easier for all of us." Satoshi-kun tells me obviously. I stare at him in plain confusion. He sighs and then begins to explain. "This way Krad and Dark both know where you are."
Oh, I get it now! I shrug and tell them that I'd do it. They all seemed to be thankful. Nana-chan then changes into a human and tells me that she would be living with me too. Daisuke-kun and Satoshi-kun both sigh in annoyance. She gives them both death glares and they both turn away frightened.
"I didn't know one girl could be so frightening." I hear Satoshi-kun say to Daisuke-kun. He nods in agreement and then they both decide it was late and that they should all start heading home. As they were talking I stand there staring at my mother's grave. I feel the tears coming back and then I wipe them away and start heading out of the cemetery with Nana-chan, Daisuke-kun and Satoshi-kun following close behind.
I still want to know why they have to protect me, this is going to start driving me insane. And what did Nana-chan mean she said she was my best friend when...when what? And what about Dark's little..thing? Why was he getting so angry and agitated? I want to ask, but I know they won't tell me, and it's really going to start pissing me off...
