Laughing students milled around the school grounds, slowly moving towards the gates. It was nearly impossible to get through the hoards of grinning pupils standing in groups and discussing the holidays. Satoshi slid through the scarce openings in the crowds and vaguely registered that it was, in fact; the holidays.
It seemed strange to think of there being no school… Satoshi sighed heavily, the exams were over, the teachers had nothing left to teach until next year. He wished he could say that he was happy that there was no more school for a couple of weeks, but, to be completely honest… Satoshi didn't really have many things that he had to get out of bed in the mornings for…School was his commitment, a place where he had to be, a place that was easy to glide by, seeing as he'd already learnt everything they taught here. Still, he got to see people his own age, rather than police officers and what ever so called 'friends' his Father introduced him to.His only other commitment which he thrived for was, though he was reluctant to admit it; Dark.
His whole life had been building up to the moment when he would catch Dark, when he would finally be able to relax.
All that he was worth was Dark, everything he stood for had been planned out according to Dark, everything that he was doing was centered around the dark angel.
It was maddening, being able to only do things that were based around Dark, the person that he so dearly wanted to capture… he'd been taught to catch him, been trained to be able to destroy Dark… all that he was good for, according to his Father, his ancestors, the police… was being able to catch Dark.
Satoshi finally managed to get outside the school grounds and onto the busy street that the gates opened out to. He caught fragments of everyone's different conversations; all concerning the same things… what they were doing for the holidays, where they would meet up on the weekend, what they would do…
Sometimes he wished that he could talk about those normal things… but he couldn't. Dark was the only thing he could seem to think about.
Satoshi walked along the street, his emotionless eyes fixed on the moving pavement beneath him as he strode along at a fast pace. He'd gotten better and better at crushing his thoughts and feelings – all to perfect his blank air that seemed… slightly pointless now he looked back on it.
He didn't allow any types of feelings out of his prison of a heart… he'd done that for so long now that he couldn't really recognize the emotions himself.
He blamed Dark.
There he went again… Dark, Dark, Dark.
He didn't really know why the thought of Dark annoyed him so much now, it usually had the opposite effect on him. He didn't know anymore.
He clenched his jaw as he walked.
"Satoshi!" A familiar voice sounded behind him. He turned around to see a grinning Daisuke running towards him.
"Hello," The blue haired teenager replied politely. To be quite honest, he didn't really feel like talking right now, he was quite preoccupied with his own thoughts of the moment.
He looked at Daisuke closely for a few seconds, scrutinizing him.
It seemed so strange that Dark, the great Phantom Thief could reside in Daisuke. They were complete opposites. He still hadn't quite grasped the concepts of it all yet, but it certainly seemed odd.
For a second, Satoshi was confronted by a sudden longing to see Dark, to see that coy smirk, the flash of purple hair as they played their little game of cat and mouse…
Satoshi blinked, the feeling in his chest subsiding slightly as he tried to figure out what it all meant.
He looked up suddenly and realized Daisuke had been talking all this time. His head felt like it was spinning.
He stared into Daisuke's eyes for a second… and he could have sworn he saw Dark in there somewhere, watching him with the same feelings that Satoshi had felt a second ago swimming around in those purple orbs, no hostility, no anger, no confusion… just the same feelings that Satoshi had been bombarded with.
He wondered what the feelings meant…?
Then the moment was gone and it was just Daisuke's confusion staring back at Satoshi.
"Satoshi, you okay?"
Satoshi nodded, his glasses flashing as the afternoon sunlight bounced off them, shielding his sky blue eyes that betrayed his feelings.
Then, that moment was gone as well and the emotionless barrier was in place again.
He tired to find a word for those feelings that Dark and himself had both felt as they looked at each other.
Deep in thought, Satoshi half listened to Daisuke as they walked home to their different lives, still trying to figure out what this emotion was.
