Something Dark
Flight
Dark sat in a corner of the hospital room. The same room where his enemy's younger brother lay wounded. He had gained a new respect for him in the matter of five minutes. After he heard Daisuke's answer, that is.
The seventeen-year-old looked at the curtained room-mate with a strange suspicion.
"Sabu-san," a girlie voice interrupted Dark's thought.
"Uh, yeah Risa?" he responded.
"Didn't Daisuke say that Satoshi was going to be here too?" Risa asked as she sat in the chair next to the falsely-named person.
"Yeah, I guess he couldn't make it since Dark is going to steal Reverie of the Ocean tonight." Dark suggested. "You know how Satoshi likes to go to that kind of stuff."
"Hmm…." Risa leaned back in her chair looking at the ceiling. "I do see him a lot there… Once I heard Takeshi's dad calling him 'Commander'."
"… Really?" he asked indifferently. Dark smirked at her observation skills. He really did expect her to be blind… or deaf in this matter.
"Yeah. I did," she confirmed.
"So, who's this 'Dark' person that everyone is talking about?" the flaming red-haired girl asked, standing in front of the two.
"Dark Mousy is the greatest thief alive." Dark began enlightening about himself before Risa came in.
"He's smart, handsome, and can elude any trap! He's been stealing art since he was fourteen and now he's seventeen!" Risa exclaimed. "Strangely, the only art he's been stealing was works from the Hikari clan…."
Risa continued bragging about Dark's achievements as he sat next to her, shaking his head with a pleased smile. How little everyone knew. There were only four people in their age group that knew who Dark really was: Daisuke, Satoshi, Krad, and Kuiji. All of which seemed to be on Dark's side except for Krad. Kuiji was very hard to crack since Dark never had a full conversation with the boy… even if he was one of Daisuke's friends since eighth grade.
Kuiji stared at the white hospital sheets with a feeling of distain. He didn't want to be here, but it was the only place he knew for sure he'd be safe.
He heard a voice talking to him. He decided to listen for the repeat or he'd be in trouble.
"Yo, Kuiji, man, are you okay?" Takeshi asked. "You haven't answered a single question I asked you!"
"Do you want me to call the nurse?" Daisuke offered.
"No, that's okay. I'm just tired, that's all." Kuiji lied as he looked around at his friends. "Now, what was it you asked me Takeshi?"
Takeshi cleared his throat. "Now, are you sure you fell down the stairs by accident? Or that you even fell down the stairs at all?" he asked, looking quite serious. Kuiji knew not to fall for that sort of thing a long time ago. Everyone had.
"I'm positive." Kuiji said.
"Are you sure it wasn't an… alien that abducted you and removed some of your ribs in an attempt to create human like in the biblical story of Adam and Eve?"
"Ya'know, come to think of it, I do remember seeing a green light above me after I fell." Kuiji played along with a smile on his face. He tried not to worry anyone for the rest of the time they were visiting him.
"Well, we'll find out when we find two of you walking around!" Takeshi exclaimed. "One of you is enough!"
"Stop badgering him with that 'alien' crap!" Masahiro ordered.
Daisuke rolled his eyes and looked at his digital watch. The black numbers against the grey read: 5:45 p.m. The red-haired boy looked up at the violet-haired one. "Sabu, we have to go."
"Is it time already?" Dark asked as he stood up. "Time does really fly."
Daisuke looked down at his injured friend, "Feel better soon, Kuiji."
"Sure," he nodded.
Around six, everybody had left Kuiji alone. They had all gone to go see Dark steal Reverie of the Ocean. Risa had taken Katie to go see him and Riku went to make sure Risa didn't do anything stupid. Takeshi had to be there to make a story of the event in hopes the police would finally catch Dark and his partner in crime. Masahiro had gone to make sure Takeshi didn't fall out of a tree and break his arm again.
Kuiji turned to TV onto the news to watch what he could of the upcoming robbery. He was one of the only outside people that knew who Dark and his sidekick were. No one had really caught much of a glimpse of Dark's partner, but they knew he had red wings. His face was obscured by his speed and agility.
"Tonight, we are bound and determined to get more then a glimpse of this mysterious partner Dark had recently acquired. All we know is that he has red wings such as Dark has black wings. When will this strange partner reveal his identity tonight? Will we get a picture of him? Stay tuned to find out." The reporter said.
Kuiji knew they would never find out who he was. Unlike his brother, Kuiji didn't care if Dark was captured or not. Krad had no relation to Dark at all, what-so-ever and He wanted him dead. This baffled Kuiji but whenever he asked about it, he would be hit.
Kuiji looked at the opened curtains at his roommate that was sitting on his bed. The blue-haired boy sighed heavily.
"You aren't going to make it." Kuiji said to his cousin.
"Yeah, I know." He said running his fingers through his hair stressfully. "I text the Investigator a while ago telling him I fell ill."
Kuiji only stared at the flashing TV screen. Dark and another figure flashed across the screen quickly. The camera veered to try to get a better shot of the two, but they were fast. They had disappeared from view. Kuiji felt a strange emotion. He wanted to be with them. He wanted to fly and take what was not his, or what was.
He sighed. As a kid, he would have strange dreams of a silver-haired boy flying. His eyes were a bright shade of red and he seemed happy. His wings were a violet color and he wore a white, short-sleeved trench coat and black pants with black boots. The boy was always accompanied by a girl in a midnight blue Lolita dress lines with white lace and knee-high white boots with royal blue laces. The couple looked very similar to the couple in that book Glass Wings. Only the faces were different and the girl had light-blue hair that was only a little darker then Satoshi's color.
The couple was about seventeen. They flew with wings of violet and dark blue.
He hoped one day he would be like the two. He would find that girl he loved and fly through the light blue sky with her.
But his fantasies were no more then that. Fantasies.
He felt kind of girly remembering those frequent dreams because that's what they were. It would be girls who dreamed of flying with the hansom boy that was a lot like a cosplayer. Not for boys to be flying with pretty girls who were so gothic they would wear Lolita.
Dark and his partner, before long, were once again in the sky and too high to see. They were pinpricks against bright moonlight. He hoped the two would visit him alone sometime. He wanted to talk to them privately and the hospital was the only place to do that.
GRAH! CORNY MUCH! Oh well, I'm running outta ideas.
