Chapter 4: Romantic Kidnapping
'Dark?' Daisuke asked, concern filling his voice, 'Why did Harada-san scream?' Daisuke then looked down at the ground and realized that Risa was no longer there with Riku, 'Better question…where is she?'
Dark gritted his teeth and flew into the sky, looking around him frantically. "Guess who's here… And he's planning something…something bad."
"Oh, Dark," a voice came from behind them. Dark spun around to see Krad floating behind him. With one arm around her waist and the other clamped over her mouth, he held Risa. "Why do you think everything I do is bad?"
"Let her go," Dark commanded. He looked at Risa and saw that she was silently crying.
"And…why would I do that?" Krad asked with a smile, "If I let her go…she would fall to her doom."
Risa's eyes grew wide as she felt her captor's grip around her waist loosen by a fraction and more tears streamed down her face. She felt herself slip a little and tried to scream, "Mmmph!...MMPH!"
"Damn it, Krad!" Dark yelled as Krad once again tightened his grip on her. "You know what I mean!"
"Heh. Dark…why would I drop such a fragile thing?" Krad laughed as he put his face next to hers.
"She has nothing to do with this!" Dark screamed. Krad laughed at his anger when, suddenly, a small rock hit him in the back of the head. He turned to see Riku on the roof of the museum. She had a pile of rocks beside her.
"Hello." Krad said with a sly smile as he turned towards her. "And who are you?"
Riku threw another rock, hitting Krad square in the forehead. "Let my sister go."
"Goodness, you're annoying." Krad said. He finally let go of Risa's mouth and pulled out a feather. Risa took her chance.
"Riku, run!" she shouted. "Don't let him get you! Please run!"
Krad suddenly hit Risa on the face, making blood come out the side of her mouth, "Shut up."
Risa stared at him, horrified as he threw the feather at Riku. It hit the ground right below her feet, sending her flying backwards and knocking her out. Risa screamed, "No! Riku!"
Dark coughed because of the smoke made by the blast. When the smoke cleared, he found the Krad and Risa were no longer there. "Damn," he said. "The bastard got away."
'Dark!' Daisuke yelled, motioning towards the museum's now crumbling roof, 'What about Older Harada-san?'
"Right…" Dark said, flying over to the roof and picking her up off of it. He then found a park bench and laid her on it. "She should be okay here…Now to find that bastard."
'Which way do you think they went?' Daisuke asked. Dark floated back into the air and scanned the area. He suddenly started flying full speed towards the abandoned side of town.
"He went this way." Dark said. He then smiled, "The only good thing that comes out of us being from the same artwork…we can sense each other's presence and where each other are."
Dark flew until he saw the old factory where they used to make cars. He landed on the ground and motioned for With to become his rabbit-like form again. After With took his form, he waited outside as a guard in case anyone were to come to the factory. Dark took a deep breath and opened the rusty door. He walked in and looked around. He went through three of the five floors of the building before he heard anyone. When he did hear someone, he leaned against a wall nearby and carefully listened to the conversation.
"I don't see anything good about you," Dark heard Krad say. "You're just an annoying little brat."
"I…uh…" Risa whimpered. Dark leaned around the wall to see Risa huddled in the corner and Krad with his back turned to her, walking around the room.
"What is this?" Krad said turning back towards her. "Suddenly you have nothing to say?" Risa stared at him as he walked forward and leaned down closer to her, putting his face two inches away from hers. "You had a lot to say at the museum."
"I…I didn't…" she said softly. Krad suddenly back away a foot, cringing.
"Damn it…Satoshi-sama…what are you doing…?" he said as he clutched his stomach.
"H-Huh?" Risa said. "Sato…shi? As in Satoshi Hiwatari?"
Krad looked up at her and she gasped as she saw one of his eyes were gold and the other was blue. Her eyes were wide as the man before her started changing. "Damn…" Dark said, "This is bad…if she sees who Krad really is…"
Dark could tell, that although he still looked more like Krad on the outside, it was Satoshi who was in control now. And right now, Satoshi was panicking. He covered his face and tried to hide his scream of pain.
"Is…is that you Hiwatari?" Risa asked gently as she slowly crawled towards him. Satoshi panicked even more now because he could feel Krad's hair getting shorter. Suddenly, without even realizing he was doing it, he pulled Risa into a tight hug and kissed Risa. At first, Risa was tense. The man who was now kissing her had kidnapped her. Now he was changing and looked like one of her classmates. After a few seconds, she relaxed and closed her eyes. Dark took this as his chance, and came up behind Risa and the now fully transformed Satoshi and put a feather to both of their heads. There was a bright flash and the two were asleep.
Dark smiled, "Awww, they make such a cute couple." He said playfully, looking at see Risa was still in Satoshi's arms.
'Dark! What are we going to do now? They're both knocked out!' Daisuke shouted.
"I know that…I hadn't gotten that far into the plan yet…" he said. He then raised his arm in the air and called, "With! Return, now!"
"Kyu!" With said as he jumped on Dark's shoulder.
Dark laughed, "I thought you were going to stay outside?" With looked down and Dark smiled, "No matter. Listen, With, I need you to take Risa home, okay? Then, after she's home, go back into the city and find Riku."
"Kyu, Kyu!" With said as he transformed into a copy of Dark, except this Dark had wings. He walked over and picked Risa up out of Satoshi's arms and flew through the window. When he was out of sight, Dark walked over to Satoshi and smacked him on the head.
Satoshi jerked awake and looked up to see Dark standing above him. "What the hell was that for?"
"Because of you, I accidentally left the painting I was stealing, 'Lost Heaven', at the museum. I'm just telling you I'm going back to get it." He said as he offered his hand to him.
"And…you're telling me why?" Satoshi asked as he dusted him self off and cracked his neck.
"Well, one so you can maybe use those brains of yours and even try to stop me tonight." Dark said with a sly grin, "And two…in case you need a ride back into town."
Satoshi smiled. "No, go right ahead and take it…and I'll walk, but thanks for the offer."
Dark shrugged and turned away, "Suit yourself. See ya later."
"Oh…and Dark?" Satoshi said. Dark stopped and turned his head a little.
"Hm?"
"Thanks…for helping with Harada-san…I don't know what I would've done if she found out it was me." Satoshi said looking down.
Dark smiled, "No problem. But, if I may say so myself…you two make quite the couple…"
Satoshi blushed and glared at Dark, making him laugh. He turned away again and waved as he jumped out of the window from the third story window. Satoshi ran to the window and saw Dark on the ground, running from the factory. "Damn Dark…you'll always be a showoff, won't you?"
--
"Oh…now I remember…" Satoshi said, closing his eyes and smiling.
"Risa never did remember it was you…did she?" Daisuke asked.
"Well, she asked me about it the next day at school, but I told her it wasn't me and she never brought it up again." Satoshi said as Kitty came up the stairs and started barking and jumping up and down and the feet. "At least…not until she and her sister found out who we really were."
"Hm, I bet it weighed heavy on her mind a lot, though." Daisuke said as they walked downstairs.
"Well there you two are!" Risa said cheerfully as she cut up vegetables on the kitchen counter. "Dinner will be ready in about a half an hour."
"Okay," Satoshi said, then looked around the room, "Hey…where's Miko?"
"Oh, she's out back." Riku said from the kitchen table. Miko suddenly came in, carrying Koko, with mud all down her shirt.
"Uncle Daisuke, Daddy!" she screamed and tried to go hug them, but instead, Satoshi picked her up and held her away from him.
"Baby, what have you been doing?" he asked, laughing.
"Hm?" she said, cocking her head. She then looked down at her muddy pink shirt, "Oh, I was in the backyard."
"How far in the backyard?" Risa asked as she came over with a wet rag and tried to clean off her shirt, but it wasn't working.
"Back in the woods." Miko said. "My friend went back there first."
"Friend?" Daisuke asked as Satoshi sat Miko in a chair at the table. "What friend?"
"An old guy…" she said. "He said his name was Hiwa…uhh…Hiwa-something."
Risa looked up at Satoshi, whose eyes had gone cold. Risa looked back at Miko, "Sweetheart…what did he say to you?"
"He said he wanted to show me a secret place." She laughed. "He said I could see that Dark guy you and Daddy are always talking about!"
"Riku." Satoshi said. "Could you please…"
"Don't even have to ask." Riku said, standing and taking Miko's hand and walking upstairs, "Let's go get some clean clothes…"
As soon as the two were out of earshot, Satoshi let his rage out. "Damn it…! I thought he wasn't living in the country anymore…I was actually hoping he was dead…"
"He's not even your real father…" Risa sighed as she sat at the kitchen table. "Why would he show up all the sudden and try to get Miko to go with him to God knows where?"
"It's probably got something to do with Dark…" Daisuke said. "But, I don't know all the details…how long has he been missing?"
"Since five years before we got married." Risa said.
"But damn it!" Satoshi said, slamming his hand on the table. "Before…thirteen years ago…he targeted you and Riku to try and get me and Daisuke, but now targeting my daughter…"
"Come on…" Daisuke said, opening the back door. "Let's go find him."
"Daisuke, stay here with the girls and keep them safe." Satoshi said. "He's my father…I'll go take care of him."
"You sure?" Risa asked, standing up. "Please take someone with you…"
He smiled and kissed her, "Don't worry, I'll take the dog with me."
She smiled weakly and nodded. Satoshi walked out into the yard and stopped to se if he could see the man from the backyard. Satoshi looked down as he heard panting and saw Kitty sitting beside him. He smiled and walked into the woods. Almost immediately, he saw a trap set for him. He sighed and walked around it. He then heard someone laughing from behind a tree. Kitty started to growl.
"Aaaah, my dear Satoshi…it's been so long…" he said. An old man, with grayish, messy hair came walking out from behind the tree. He had a walking cane with him and was wearing a gray suit. "Almost thirteen years, right?"
"What are you doing here?" Satoshi asked. "I thought you moved out of the country."
"Well, I had moved." He said, stuffing his hands in his pocket. "But I came back 'bout a year ago. It took me a long time to track you down. You're a hard man to find."
"Yea, well…" Satoshi said. "What did you want with Miko?"
"Aaah, she's a cute little girl…" he said with a smile. "She's got your eyes."
Satoshi couldn't take the small talk anymore and grabbed the man's collar. "Damn it…where were you going to take her?"
"I deserve to see my own granddaughter." He said. "Even my daughter-in-law."
"You don't deserve anything but getting shot in the head." Satoshi growled. Kitty started barking behind him.
"Oh…you're talking about last time I saw your wife and her sister…" he said looking up towards the sky. "Well, it's not like they died or anything…"
"Damn it, you put a bomb in their car!" Satoshi shouted. "Now, what were you planning on doing to Miko?"
"Nothing…" he said with a grin, "I was just going to take her on a walk near the cliff."
"Why do you hate my family so much?" Satoshi continued to shout. "What the hell did they ever do to you?"
It suddenly started to rain and Kitty hid under a bush while Hiwatari started to laugh. "Why? You want to know why? Well, it's because they took my tool away from me."
"Huh?" Satoshi said. He threw his father to the ground. "What are you talking about?"
"With your smarts, I thought you would have gotten it." He said as he raised himself up on his arm. "Those twins…and the Niwa boy…they all contributed to the destruction of my trusted servant, Krad."
"So you hate them because they got rid of a monster?" Satoshi said. "Because they were my friends and they helped me?"
"Monster? Ho, ho. No, he was no monster. He would have helped me achieve my goal of rising to the top. Of becoming more powerful than most of the world leaders! Of becoming practically a God!" Hiwatari yelled, laughing menacingly, making Kitty pop his head out of the bush and bark.
"You're insane!" Satoshi yelled. "Your mind has disintegrated almost entirely!"
"Daddy?" a small voice came from behind him. Satoshi turned to see Miko standing there with an umbrella, holding Koko close to her. He looked at her with sad eyes. "Daddy, what's going on?"
"Miko!" Risa called, coming up behind her. "Miko, I told you to stay in the hou…" she looked up to see Hiwatari on the ground and Satoshi standing above him with his hands balled into fists.
"Hello Risa-chan." Hiwatari said with a smile. "My, your face healed quite nicely from that nasty bruise you had last time I saw you."
Risa got on her knees and put her arms around Miko's neck as Kitty walked up beside her. "H-Hello H-Hiwatari-san."
"Daddy…why are you angry at Mr. Hiwatari?" Miko asked as she handed Koko and the umbrella to Risa and walked over to hug Satoshi's leg. "He's just a poor old man looking for a family."
Satoshi closed his eyes and crouched down to hug the young girl. He then looked at her straight in the eye and said, "Miko…I want you to understand that this man is not a nice person. He hurt your mother and your aunt when we were younger."
Miko's eyes grew wide. She looked at Hiwatari with sad eyes and then walked back to her mother. She then looked at the old man. "Is that true Mr. Hiwatari?"
Risa hugged Miko as Hiwatari sighed. Satoshi leaned against a tree and sighed, wishing he could have somehow made the man just disappear of the face of the earth. He suddenly heard Risa gasp and opened his eyes to see his father pointing pistol at Risa and Miko, with an evil smirked splashed across his face.
Okay, well, that was a seriously random chapter! Yea, I was in a weird mood today. And when I'm in a weird mood, weird things come outta my mind as ideas for fanfics. Well, anyway, I really hope you liked!
Oh, and the reason Miko doesn't use honorifics like her parents do and why they don't really use them anymore is because it's sorta in the future and they don't use honorifics in the future. At least not in this world!
