Wow, it's been a while hasn't it? I really don't remember where I wanted this story to go. But, I guess I can't let you guys down either. Time to give this a go and see where this ends up.

Satoshi paced back and forth in his room. His head was pounding from the amount of thinking he had done that day. How could he have let this happen? The boy slumped down into his chair, cradling his head in his hands.

"Why was I so stupid? What was I even thinking?" He fought back screaming with every fiber of his being. He wasn't ready for this. He didn't even know how to be a father, or a lover, for that matter. On top of that, there was Krad to worry about. There was no doubt the angel knew exactly what was going on. If he did, that meant he had to do everything he could to keep him away from Daisuke, even if that meant his own emotional pain.

Opening a drawer, the blue haired boy pulled out a notebook. Opening it revealed various notes he had written down, mostly diary type entries about feelings for his red headed friend. Or was it boyfriend now? He had no idea. Turning to an empty page, he scribbled down words. All the thoughts he was unable to state out loud took over space on the page.

"You can't protect him forever, you know." Krad's voice hissed from inside Satoshi's head. He had become even more of a pain as of late.

"I can do the best that I can. If I'm not around him, there's nothing you can do." Satoshi was very aware that Krad seemed to surface more often when Daisuke was around. If he never saw the redhead, Krad could never hurt him.

"Just you wait. Soon enough your control will slip. When that moment comes, I'll be ready for it."

"Don't get your hopes up. Maybe you're the one who should wait and see."

ooo

Morning came too soon for Daisuke. His head hurt and he felt dizzy. Sighing, he got out of bed and began his new morning ritual, puking his guts up.

"If this doesn't go away soon I might just lose it."

"Well then you're in for a rough ride now, aren't you?" Dark teased the boy. Last night had been rough, but he wasn't about to let his host catch any hint of worry, and what better way to cover it than making fun of him?

"Ha ha, very funny. I'd like to see you do this every morning." The reply was a bit snappy. Maybe it wasn't the best time for the Angel to be poking fun at the red head. Though, it was a hard thing to let go of.

"Hey, I was just joking! Calm down. I'll be around if you need it. Though, I don't think I'm exactly the best source of advice." Dark swallowed hard.

"So…do you know whose kid it is?" Big mistake. The answer made him regret ever wanting to know. Of course, the answer hadn't exactly been a secret one.

"It's Hiwatari's. We…got stuck in the freezer at school and…" The answer faded away. The memory wasn't exactly the best one he ever had. Hiwatari's advances were far from the kind he wanted to experience as his first go.

"I see. Daisuke, I don't think you should get too involved with Hiwatari. It's not good for you to see him anymore."

"But why?! He should be allowed to be here. I want him here…no, I need him to be with me." Tears welled up in the red head's eyes. Before they could fall, he felt more sickness come up and had to release it.

"Ugh…I hate this." He continued to pout, curling up on the bathroom rug.

"Daisuke, Krad is going to hurt you if you see Satoshi. It's not safe for you to be around him. Please, you have to understand, I don't want you hurt."

Daisuke whimpered from his spot on the floor.

"I don't know. I want to have him around. I don't want to talk about this right now Dark." He got up and walked back to the bedroom, climbing back into bed and pulling the blankets up over him.

"I just need to sleep."

And finally a new chapter! A bit short, I know, but so many people have been wanting me to update. I'm sure a good number have probably given up, but this is here for those of you that havn't. I hope it wasn't too bad. As I said, I don't know what direction this is going anymore.
