Chapter 4
The calm wind made the orange sky even better, in Satoshi's opinion. Unfortunatly, he couldn't enjoy it, he had a job to do.
Satoshi needed to get home real fast, then head to the museum. He had to at least call back to Saehara so he knew he was coming. Daisuke had already warned him at school.
His mind began to drift off. How would tonight go? He and Risa had just left eachother. For the past few days Satoshi had been exausted. On Monday, the day he had planned to have lunch with Risa but couldn't, he fell apart and Krad had torn apart his apartment.
What a weird situation he was just in. All he could remember was they were in a closet, then everything became dizzy. Then he woke up-on Risa. She was so warm, so comforting. The moment he woke up made him feel like he was actually close to someone. But Satoshi knew he wasn't allowed to do that, he's not supposed to love anyone.
He walked on, heading to his apartment. Once he got to his building, he found two boys playing soccer. "Hello Satoshi!" they both waved. The two were identical twins. They lived next to Satoshi with their mother. They both had short blonde hair, round green eyes, looked about twelve and seemed to always smile. They always smiled for a reason.
Satoshi passed them and waved. "Hello Kyle. Hey Mike." As he walked, he could of sworn her saw something shine in the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, Satoshi jumped then stopped, then caught the ball that was thrown at him at an amazing speed.
"Awww, why do you have to ruin our fun?" One of the boys, Kyle, whined. They both stood on either side of two bushes and stared.
"How? Did you see it? It's almost invisable." Mike said pointing. He gently put his fnger around what they were talking about. It was a thin clear fishing string.
This was why they were always happy. The two were pranksters, always setting up traps to embarrass people. Satoshi always wondered how their mother lived with them, must be a major pain in the ass.
"Why'd you throw the ball?" Satoshi handed the soccer ball back to Kyle.
"We can never get you, you have really great reflexes." he began to explain. The twins looked at eachother with large grins. "You are going to teach us how to be that fast, right?" they both asked at the same.
"I don't know." he growled and began to walk away, then stopped again. "What would have happened if I did trip over that?"
Mike pulled back the bush to show a bear trap placed on something like a see-saw and the thin string was holding onto it. "The bear trap would've gotten ya." Satoshi rolled his eyes and strolled on.
"Wait a minute!" Kyle ran back to Satoshi. "A man in a dark blue uniform came, ("and actually tripped over our line" giggled Mike.) and asked for you. We told him you weren't available. He gave us this envelope." he handed Satoshi the letter, then threw the ball back at Mike.
"Thanks." Satoshi nodded to them and walked up the stairs to his place. As he walked up, he heard multiple glass shatterings from the force they threw that ball at. Then the boys recite, "Hi Mr. Hiroshika." Afterward came a loud snap and a scream, he got caught on their prank.
Satoshi tore open the letter to see it was a notice about tonight. He unlocked his door as he arrived and walked in. Satoshi put his bag on the couch, leaned against the wall and read the letter aloud.
Dear Mr. and Commander Satoshi Hiwatari,
We have recieved a note from Dark saying that he will be stealing the "Mermaid's Pearls" at 9 'o clock tonight. We do hope that you will be able to come to the museum tonight.
Sincerely,
Inspector and Detective Saehara.
Blah, blah blah, Satoshi thought. Inside the envelope was also the card Dark sent. He set the letter down on the table and headed to his room.
Inside, he took off his shirt. Looking at a mirror, he inspected his torso. There was a large slash from when he dashed after Dark and got caught in a tight spot. There was also a scar on his arm where Dark had thrown a sandstone vase at him. Satoshi put his shirt back on and walked to his kitchen. Staring at the clock, it read 7:49. He had about a half an hour to relax.
Satoshi put a pan full of water on the burner and let it boil. Then taking his bowl of ramen, he strided to the table, sat down and turned on the TV. The news was on and they were talking on the spot of the museum. After the report, they switched to the weather. Tomorrow would be partly cloudy with a high of 68. There were also other reports; a grocery store was robbed, a abusive mother sent to prison after trial and a man had caught a new record of the biggest fish, coming in at two feet, seven inches.
He finally finished his dinner. Satoshi placed the bowl in the sink and filled it with water. This was Satoshi's normal day before a Dark case.
Leaving his apartment, he locked his door and jumped down off the balcony, landing in front of the twins. Both their faces filled with amazement. "Satoshi, catch!" Mike threw the soccer ball again. Satoshi caught and threw it back to them, then ran from the building.
The whole museum area was crouded. Satoshi didn't understand why people stood there to watch, it's not like they see anything. Then again, he should be happy about that.
"Ah Satoshi!" a deep voice shouted. "Come here, I need to speak with you real fast." Satoshi dashed over to Saehara."All right, my men will surrounding the perimeter, while few will be guarding the halls, ready and armed."
He wanted to tell Saehara that guns were basicly useless but he saved it. Satoshi agreed and found his way into the museum. He stationed himself in front of the artifact.
Satoshi gazed at it, it was beautiful. The item was actually a necklace, made of completly pure white pearls. What does this do?
Nothing. Krad stated. But as you noticed, it's a beautiful piece of jewelry. Made of the best pearls the world could find. Not even the richest celebrity is worth this.
The room was quiet. It was an uncomfortable silence. If you're getting scared, I'll help Satoshi.
NO! I will have this under control. Satoshi stared around the room. Only the spotlights from outside lit the room.
Tonight, his attitude was beginning to change. Normally Satoshi was determined that he could catch The Phantom Theif, Dark but tonight Satoshi wanted to get away and find a way to be with Risa once again. He first said that he wouldn't let himself like her but now, he found himself yearning her touch, her soft, warm body. Just getting to be with her and seeing that bright smile would do.
A loud footstep snapped Satoshi back to reality. "Nice to see you noticed I arrived." a suave males voice said. Dark stood there, in a black outfit covered alittle by a large black overcoat. "Wanna make this easy or hurt us even more?"
God, Satoshi hated Dark so much. If it wasn't for Daisuke, Satoshi would have let Krad go after the bastard with a chainsaw. But calmly he said "You don't think you're going to get out of here without a fight, do you?"
Dark chuckled. "Of course not." In a blink of an eye, Dark had ran and was now standing not even an inch from Satoshi. He threw a punch but Dark dodged it. While sidetrackted, Satoshi held out his foot which Dark and sent him crashing to the floor.
"Now don't get weak on me." Satoshi said. Something had came over him, an insane smile lit up his features. Dark stood up and brushed himself off.
"Don't worry." He dashed for the necklace but got stopped by Satoshi again. This time Dark jumped up and Satoshi lost him in the shadows. "What can you see?" Dark's voice asked. "Can you catch me?"
Truthfully, no. But Satoshi looked around, checking to see if he caught any movement and listening for sounds. Nothing happened until Satoshi heard footsteps.
His eyes automaticly travled to the sounds. Walking into the light was a tall boy with spikey red hair.Satoshi's heart skipped a beat. "Dark, I know it's you." it was easy to tell, Dark had that revolting look on his face and what was worse is he put it on Daisuke. Just seeing that disgusting grin on Daisuke wanted to make Satoshi jump on him and knock the living hell out of him.
"Satoshi." Daisuke's voice rang through his ears. "You're not going to hurt me are you? Are you going to make Krad kill me, Satoshi? I don't wanna get hurt." his voice was mocking Satoshi.
But the questions made Satoshi question himself. Dark was in Daisuke's body. He couldn't hurt him or else he'd damage Daisuke. Soon,a painfulsensation travled up his spine. Satoshi winced and took in a sharp breath.
"Oh no, you're gonna hurt me." he cried and ran behind another sculpture. Seeing Daisuke with Dark's emotions and clothes mad him seem like he was one of those evil kids in the scary movies. But seeing Daisuke hiding from him, it tore Satoshi apart. His body began to shiver as the warning of pain was coming.
Satoshi's blood began to burn and he fell to his knees. He kept telling himself, "I can do this on my own. Please don't." Satoshi slowly stood up. The pain was growing worse by the minute but Satoshi wouldn't give in. He walked, trying to get to Dark but he could keep running around the stand like a child.
"Come on Satoshi, you can do better than this." Daisuke's voice now had a terrible sound of pride. He snapped and the case guarding the necklace fell to the ground. As Dark walked to it, Satoshi used as much energy as he could to dash to the necklace.
"You're going to have to go through me to get this." he held his arms.
"With pleasure." Dark rose his arm to deliver the fatal punch. Satoshi closed his eyes, preparing for the impact. He didn't have the energy to keep this going. He waited for the punch to hit but didn't feel anything.
Satoshi opened his eyes to see Dark frozen in place. His arm was stuck in the air but he was trying to move it. "You're so lucky, you pathetic fool." Dark said through clenched teeth. He threw Satoshi to the side and went to retrieve the necklace.
No one was there to help Satoshi. He just laid on the floor, convulsing madly. Satoshi was beginning the think he should give up; think of all the things he loved and cared and let Krad destroy Dark. He ran the thoughts through his head. There was him laying on Risa, talking to her on the way, having Daisuke and her care for him. But disapointments-he thought-would probly have to just hear Daisuke call him a pathetic fool.
A white-hot stinging spread through his body now. Satoshi let out a scream. He tried to look up to see if Dark had taken the necklace. He was standing over it, admiring it, he guessed. Satoshi fought to stand up but he did and leaned against the wall. He saw Dark look at him through Daisuke's eyes. Daisuke with purple eyes would never match, he thought, never.
Then to Satoshi's suprise, Dark doubled over, letting out short yells and cursing. Satoshi stared around the room, wondering if guards were goning toburst in any minute. The minute Dark stood straight again, he ran over to Satoshi. "No, please be ok, Satoshi." He took Satoshi's arms and helped him up better.
"What?" Satoshi looked up and saw that he had his red eyes again. Daisuke took Satoshi's arm and swung it over his neck. He carried him to a chair on the other side of the room and sat Satoshi in it.
"Satoshi." Daisuke's voice softly. This is the way he should be. Satoshi thought, relieved. "Look at me." he commanded but Satoshi couldn't. Daisuke lifted his head for him and stared him in the face. "In the eyes, please." He didn't want to but he couldn't help, he looked dazed into Daisuke's eyes. He gasped and back a little from Satoshi.
"It's showing, isn't it?" Satoshi asked softly. He could Daisuke was afraid to answer but Daisuke nodded. Feeling ashamed, Satoshi stared at his shoes.
Daisuke pulled off his glasses and made him look back at him. "You, stay here. I'm going to find a cloth for you. You look like your burning up." He ran off and Satoshi in the dark.
His body was still burning and aching. The silence was calming him. This had been the first time in a while that Krad hadn't appeared but he still made Satoshi suffer through his pain.
He put his hand over his eye. This wasn't going to go away for a little bit, is it? he questioned. Satoshi's hand travled up to his forehead, which was covered in sweat.
There were running footsteps being heard now. Daisuke arrived and handed Satoshi a wet paper towel. "Sorry, it was all I could find." he laughed softly.
"Thanks." Satoshi placed it on his forehead. Daisuke had sat on the cold tile floor and stared around.
"It's creepy in here, don't you think?" he asked. Satoshi chuckled. Daisuke giggled and smacked the floor. "Of course. You just probly think I'm being childish."
"No. Many people fear the dark. They can't see what's going on and become frightened."
Daisuke's smile grew wider. The two sat without saying anything for about 10 minutes. Satoshi bent down and grabbed his glasses. He looked at the reflection and sighed. Daisuke looked up. "Why don't your eyes go back to normal?"
"They normally don't until Krad gets his way or he falls asleep." he muttered. Satoshi stared at Daisuke's eyes and began to feel envious. Daisuke noticed the look on his face and laughed.
"Don't get all sad on me now." Daisuke laughed.
"What are you talking about?" Satoshi moved his eyes to look out the window. A smirk suddenly appeared on his face. "You sound like a mom or something. Getting all worried and crap."
"I guess that's what happens when you deal with both an uptight mother and girlfriend." they both chuckled. A sharp pain hit Satoshi in the chest. He fell over, gritting his teeth and cursing. Daisuke bolted up and helped him. "Darn it!" he cried.
A few minutes passed before the pain faded again. Satoshi breathed deeply as Daisuke was panicing. When he finally calmed down, leaned on the chair and relaxed, Daisuke accidently screamed "You're going to be alright, right? RIGHT, SATOSHI?"
"I'm fine."
"SEE? YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE-oh, you're fine?" he asked and Satoshi nodded. Satoshi gave a kind of a dazed smile. He looked down at his watch and sighed.
"It's been almost an hour. I think you should get home."
"Yeah." Daisuke called Wiz, his pet that looked like a rabbit but when working with Dark, he turned into his wings. "I'll explain to my mom somehow. How about Dark caught a cold?" Daisuke winced from Dark screaming at him. He waved good-bye and flew away.
Now in that he was alone, Satoshi walked to take a closer look at the necklace. He picked it up and stared at it. Gazing at the pearls, he noticed something that he didn't notice before. There was a locket shaped like a shell at the bottom. On the back it read,
Filled with greed you cannot take
A priceless gem not found in lakes
but if you can love and care
we have something you can share
Satoshi became curious. He didn't know what he would be. Satoshi couldn't remember being greedy or loving. Should I test it? he wondered. Satoshi finally decided and opened then locket. His brain didn't even register what he saw. He thought nothing would be in the locket but inside lay one of the pure white pearls that made up the necklace.
A whisp of white smoke came from the the locket. Satoshi looked up and watched the smoke form into something that looked like a ghost of a mermaid. She smiled down at him, her blonde hair was flowing all around her. Satoshi still couldn't believe that the pearl appeared. "Are you the spirit in this necklace?" he asked. The mermaid nodded.
"Are you a threat?" she gave him a confused look. "Well, Dark normally goes after works of art that have awaken and are dangerous." She still stared at him oddly. "Why am I explaining this to you?" she shrugged at him. Satoshi smiled. At least she was someone who listened. "But why did I get this? I'm not kind, I don't love or care."
She shook her head. When she finally spoke, it came out as a song she sang.
A golden heart you truly possess
but another's heart you can also bless
The mermaid smiled at Satoshi, then swam through the air and back into the locket. Satoshi stood there, confused. "'Another's heart I could bless'? What could she mean?" he asked himself. "Hey, come back." Satoshi commanded to the locket. Nothing happened though. He tried closing the locket and reopening it but nothing happened and the pearl still lied in the locket. Then it hit him, was he supposed to give it to someone? Satoshi took the pearl and held it in his hand.
He placed the necklace back in the display and put the cover back on. Satoshi ran to the doors of the museum until he heard someone laughing.
"Good job Satoshi." a deep voice said. From the shadows walked out his father, his glasses shined in the moonlight. "For once you saved an artifact."
"Thank you, Sir. But, you see, I'm in a hurry." he paused. "Did you see-"
"Don't worry Satoshi." His father said. Satoshi nodded and ran off to the outside of the museum. People were just hanging around talking.
He looked around desperatly. Satoshi spotted Riku and Daisuke and ran toward them. Riku must have seen him because she waved and shouted, "Hey! Satoshi, what are you doing here?"
As he finally got to them, he stopped and tried to catch his breath. "Have-you-seen-Risa?"
"What did you say Satoshi?"
"HaveyouseenRisa?"
Riku didn't say anything and just stared. "Can repeat that again?"
"I said, have you seen Risa?" Satoshi looked up and glared at her.
"Yeah, she's over there getting a drink." Riku pointed to her direction and Satoshi followed.
As he ran, he noticed Risa was at a consession stand. He heard her say, "But do you have that in diet? No? How about low carbs?" Satoshi shouted out her name. She motioned to him as she picked up her cup.
When Satoshi had came to Risa's side, he couldn't help himself. Satoshi wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. Risa's eyes grew wide with suprise. As they broke apart, Risa didn't know what to say and Satoshi could wipe the smile off his face. "Risa, I was wondering if you would like-to go on a date with me?"
Risa seemed petrified. She didn't move for a couple minutes. At last, Risa nodded and squealed "Yes! I would love to!" She hugged him back and began to walk away when Satoshi stopped her.
"Here, have this." he handed her the pearl. "How about tomorrow, at noon here at this museum and then we can go for lunch?" Risa squeaked "Yes." again. Satoshi said good-bye and dashed off, feeling the happiest he had in the years he could remember thinking only two things, why hasn't Krad stopped him and what he should wear tomorrow.
Author's Note: This chapter was definatly longer than normal but I hope it's ok with you guys. I've got a couple things to say since I didn't get to in the beginning. I think I'll do this in order.
I LOVE twins that always make trouble. That's mainly why I love Fred and George from Harry Potter. Something about them just makes me fall in love with them so I wanted to add something with them.
YAY! I get to start some romance between the two and not just shyness/accidental romance crap
Finally, with the last sentence I'm gonna say two things. One: Krad's not dead, ok? Two: The thing with "what shouldI wear." I was listening to First Date by Blink 182 and "Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?" Is one of my absolute fav lines in the song. Plus, I still love Blink 182
Please Review!
