Frizzle: Aye Aye Cap'n! Hope you enjoy chapter 2 of Fuyuyasumi! Disclaimer: Slytherin – Fanatic 911 does not own D N Angel but she does own her own character, Sayuri (Satoshi-kun's twin sister). Now… ON WITH THE STORY!
--Flashback--
Satoshi walked into the kitchen and stopped at the kitchen table. He took out his keys, phone and wallet and put them down. He then slipped out of his coat and laid it on top of his stuff. Walking over, he jumped up onto the bench and sat down.
All was quiet. There wasn't a sound in the house. It was like that for a few minutes before Satoshi heard the low rumbling of thunder outside. He wondered vaguely where Sayuri was.
Satoshi sighed and hopped off the bench. He walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs, heading for his room.
Once he was outside his room, Satoshi opened up the door and walked inside. He sat down on his bed only to realize then that he didn't see Sayuri in her room.
Frowning, Satoshi stood up and walked to Sayuri's room. He stepped inside the room carefully. Satoshi looked around the room. Sayuri wasn't there. Satoshi walked over to the balcony door and paled when he saw the note stuck to doors. He took the note off the door and read it slowly. It said:
'Dear Dark,
I've taken your
Sacred Maiden.
Best Wishes,
Argentine'
Satoshi crushed the note in his hand. He turned around and walked down to the kitchen where his stuff was. He picked up his phone and dialled a number then held his phone to his ear. It rang for a few seconds before someone picked up and answered with, "Moshi Moshi, Niwa residence! Daisuke speaking!"
"Daisuke-kun, it's an emergency. Can I come over?" asked Satoshi.
"Sure!" replied Daisuke. "What's the emergency?"
"I'll tell you when I get there."
Satoshi hung up, then put his phone, wallet and keys back in his pocket and walked out of the house, locking the door behind him.
--End Flashback--
Satoshi sighed as he watched the scenery flash past outside the window. He missed Sayuri. Every time they were apart, he missed her. He worried constantly about her. Afraid that she might get hurt because she seemed so vulnerable.
"You really miss her, don't you?" asked Daisuke, breaking the silence.
Satoshi turned to Daisuke, staring at him, slightly surprised. "Yes."
"I love you Sato-kun. You're so kind." Daisuke leaned over and kissed Satoshi lightly on the lips.
"Dai-chan," Satoshi mumbled when they pulled apart.
--D N Angel--
… With Sayuri…
"Sayuri-chan," Argentine said. He looked straight into Sayuri's eyes, making her nervous. Argentine leaned in, towards Sayuri. She shifted back a little on the bed. He smiled and picked up Sayuri's right arm. He lightly ran his hand over all of the scars on that arm. Argentine occasionally kissed one of the scars, making Sayuri blush.
Once Argentine got to the scar on Sayuri's shoulder, he stopped. The scar was about 10 centimetres long and was identical on her back. It was near the top of her right shoulder. He ran a finger down both scars curiously.
"You have a lot of scars, Sayuri-chan," Argentine said. Sayuri nodded. "How did you get them?"
Sayuri cast her eyes down wards, looking at her lap. She was quiet for a minute before answering with, "A girl at my orphanage did nearly all of them." Sayuri gestured to her arms and legs. "Her name is Chiyo. She used to bully me. Hitting me, cutting me, burning me."
Argentine frowned, thinking. "Did it hurt?"
Sayuri nodded. "Of course it hurt. But the ones that hurt the most were the ones on my shoulders, the two on my back and the one on stomach."
Argentine growled, startling Sayuri. "You said that this Chiyo person did nearly all of this. Who did the rest?"
Sayuri eyes Argentine carefully before answering with, "Some of the on my arms are from Kei, my 'father'. The scar on my right shoulder was somewhat of an accident. The one on my left shoulder was done by Satoshi, my brother."
"Your father and your brother! You're being abused!" exclaimed Argentine.
He opened his mouth to speak again, but got cut off by Sayuri, "Not Satoshi! Kei, yes. But never Satoshi! He only did that to help me! Satoshi would never hurt me on purpose."
Argentine was shocked. His face saddened. He leaned in and kissed Sayuri's shoulder. He looked into her eyes and said, "Sorry I jumped to conclusions."
Sayuri looked back into Argentine's eyes and replied with, "It's fine. I'm sorry I snapped at you."
Argentine smiled gently. He started kissing down Sayuri's left arm, stopping every now and then when he came to a particularly bad looking one. When he finally reached Sayuri's fingertips, he stopped and looked up at her. After a few minutes of silence, he said, "Tell me about your brother. How old is he? How long have you known each other? Does he have a girlfriend?"
Sayuri smiled at Argentine's questions. She considered something for a moment before answering them.
"Satoshi is fifteen. We're twins. We've known each other for about two years now. And no, he doesn't have a girlfriend."
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Argentine asked carefully, looking up at Sayuri through his eyelashes.
Sayuri examined Argentine and blushed slightly. Argentine was handsome when he wanted to be. She was quiet for a few moments before saying, "Not exactly, no."
Argentine raised an eyebrow but didn't say anymore. Sayuri felt guilty. How could she tell Argentine the truth?
--D N Angel--
…With Takeshi…
Takeshi walked into the classroom and looked around. No Daisuke. Satoshi and Sayuri weren't there either. Takeshi walked over to where Riku and Risa were. They looked up and greeted him cheerfully.
"Yo!" replied Takeshi. "Where's Daisuke?"
Riku kissed Takeshi on the cheek then answered him with, "Not here. His mother called up before and said he was sick."
Takeshi nodded. "I can call by his house this afternoon after school."
The twins nodded.
Just then, the teacher walked in and told everyone to sit down. She sat down at her desk and took out the roll. She then got out a pen and started calling out names. About half-way down the list, she got down to Satoshi and called out, "Hiwatari Satoshi!"
No reply. The teacher looked around the room. No Satoshi. She marked him absent.
"Hiwatari Sayuri!"
No reply. The teacher looked around the room again. Sayuri was missing. Risa put her hand up. The teacher nodded, indicating that she can speak.
"Uh, sensei, Hiwatari-chan has been reported missing by the police. Um, Takeshi-kun told me yesterday," Risa said, blushing.
The teacher looked mildly surprised to hear this piece news. She looked over to Sayuri's seat again and her face grew sad. She shook her head and resumed calling the names out.

…With Daisuke…
Daisuke looked out over the river and at the three towers in the middle. He frowned and glanced at Satoshi. The blunette's brow was furrowed and he was glaring at the three towers.
"Uh…" started Daisuke. But Satoshi quickly held up a hand for silence. After a few minutes of this silence, Satoshi muttered quietly, "She's in the middle tower. I can feel her. I can also feel Argentine's energy. And…something else… another energy… more magic…"
Satoshi trailed off, leaving Daisuke confused. Satoshi stepped forward a couple of steps, almost off the edge. He muttered something under his breath, and then looked down at the river.
Daisuke stepped towards Satoshi and took his hand. "How're we gonna get there?"
Satoshi stared at Daisuke and answered, "There's a couple of ways, we could get there. We could swim, but that's unadvisable considering how strong the river is flowing. There's also a series of tunnels underneath the towers that lead straight to where we want to go, but there's another option. A very dangerous option. A last resort."
Daisuke squeezed his boyfriend's hand and asked, "What's the last resort?"
"We fly."

…With Sayuri…
"Ne, Sayuri-chan?" Argentine inquired. Sayuri looked up at Argentine questioningly. "Do you know how to play the piano?"
Argentine walked around Sayuri and sat next to her on the balcony. Sayuri frowned lightly and leant back against the railing. She pursed her lips and said, "Yes, but why do you ask?"
Argentine stood up and held out his hand, offering to help Sayuri up. Sayuri obliged and followed Argentine inside. They both sat down at the piano. It was quiet for a moment before Argentine said, "Play something for me."
Sayuri blushed and replied with, "But why should I play something? I'm not that good. You should play something."
"My creator said that what I play isn't music. I would love to hear your music. It would be nothing but an honour to hear."
Sayuri sighed and rested her fingers on the keys. Argentine smiled in triumph and put his arms around her waist.
"But what should I play?" Sayuri asked quietly.
Argentine put his lips right up to Sayuri's ear then breathed, "You'll think of something."

…With Daisuke…
Daisuke and Satoshi walked along the long underground tunnels in silence. Daisuke looked up every few seconds, feeling like the ceiling was going to cave in.
"Um… Sato-kun," Daisuke started, "Are you sure going this way is safe?"
Satoshi walked on for a few seconds before answering, "Out of the three, it's the safest."
"Safest, as in…"
"We won't be seen and it's less likely we'll get hurt," he explained.
Daisuke glanced up at the ceiling, still feeling unsafe. Satoshi looked over at Daisuke and sighed.
There was silence. The pair kept walking along. Daisuke grew more and more anxious as they continued down their path. He got more fidgety making Satoshi look at him and roll his eyes.
(He's being over the top…) thought Satoshi. (It's not like the roof's gonna cave in.)
As Satoshi thought that though, a low rumbling filled the silence of the tunnel. They both froze. The rumbling was shaking the walls and making loose stones fly everywhere.
"Aaah!" shouted Daisuke.
A large stone shook out of the ceiling and was about to land on Satoshi when Daisuke looked up, saw it then pushed them both into the river that was flowing fast next to the two. Daisuke heard a muffled 'ka-thunk' and knew that Satoshi had hit his head.
The river flowed fast, sweeping along hurriedly. Daisuke struggled to keep both himself and Satoshi above the water. He choked as water entered his mouth. The current forced them under, faster and faster…
As Daisuke blacked out, he called out with his mind, (Help…! Please…! Someone… Anyone… Help… Help… Dark…)
--D N Angel--
…Back in Azumano…
Something stirred within the air. A breeze fluttered through the Azumano Museum and down to the basement. The ragged sheet covering Kokuyoku flew as if in a high breeze. A noise, like a waling or a moaning, came from the ancient artwork.
Light then suddenly surrounded everything. Blinding white, the wailing grew louder, the chains around Kokuyoku slowly started to disappear.
Kokuyoku was starting to reawaken.
