So it's been a while since I've written on this and when I went to go re-read it and try to see if my muses might actually come give me some inspiration to finish this story, I noticed one HUGE problem. This chapter is the real chapter eight. I'd totally had in my large single document file of all my chapters together that I had written chapter seven twice. So I had to go back and redo all my chapter titles! So the chapter eight that had been up for all this time is actually chapter nine. (really huge wide eyed look of surprise) So….for anyone new to reading this, you'll be okay. Anyone else that has read this, here's something I missed! WAH!


-Chapter Eight-

It had been a couple of days now after Daisuke had woken up from the coma and both he and Dark had gotten most of their strength back. They had made sure to not go outside or be seen if Krad was watching to have him continue to think they were still dead.

"You know it's still strange that he didn't come back yet," Dark said as he sat in a chair after lunch with everyone in the living room. "He hasn't turned soft has he?"

"I don't think he would," Daiki said.

"Well it's a good thing he hasn't yet," Daisuke said and looked to Satoshi next to him at one end of the couch. "Do you think he's got something planned?"

"I have no idea," Satoshi replied with a shrug. "Ever since he's gotten his own body the link that allowed us to hear each others' thoughts is gone. I didn't expect it to stay anyways."

Dark remembered back a couple of nights before after Daisuke had woken up and he had seen through Daisuke's eyes and heard through his hearing like old times before he had his own body. 'I wonder why and how that happened?' he thought. 'Maybe I should say something about it.' He went to say it to the others but before he could, the phone rang.

"I'll get it," Emiko said as she went over and answered it. "Hello. Niwa residence." Suddenly she paled and slowly turned to the others, her voice going quieter. "Yes. Just a moment." She put her hand over the receiver and looked at Satoshi. "It's for you."

Confused, Satoshi got up and went over taking the phone as Emiko went over and sat down next to Kosuke again with a look of bewilderment on her face. "Hello?" he asked quietly.

"Hello Satoshi," a familiar voice came over the other end. "Long time no talk."

"What do you want Krad?" Satoshi asked yet surprised at Krad calling. Everyone stared towards the phone in silence at the mention of Krad's name but Emiko that already knew.

"You know what I want Satoshi," Krad replied in his menacing voice and Satoshi gave a slight growl. "And I just so happen to be in a good mood today that I'm willing to give you a chance to come back to me quietly."

"Never," Satoshi growled at the menacing angel on the other end.

"It's either that or I come and take you back by force and kill the rest of those damn Niwas," Krad said with a sneer. "I already killed Dark and the boy so there is nothing stopping me. Besides you've had enough time to cry your poor little eyes out over that boy. Too bad Daisuke died." He gave a slight sneering laugh. "You have until tomorrow at noon to decide whether you come peacefully or I kill the others. I'll be waiting at the windmill fountain. If you're late, they're dead."

Satoshi pulled the phone back and clicked it off and stared at it for a second before putting it back on the base and turning slowly to the others with questioning looks at him. "He says he wants me back," he said quietly as he went back over and sat down next to Daisuke. "He's in a good mood, he said, and offered me to come quietly."

"Good mood? That's scary to see or hear," Dark said.

"Agreed on that one," Daiki added with a nod.

"But he said if I don't go quietly he'll come here and take me back by force," Satoshi said quietly still. "And kill the rest of you since he thinks both of you are still dead." He looked to Dark and Daisuke. "I have until tomorrow at noon to decide and meet at the windmill fountain otherwise you're all going to die."

"Well he's not getting his hands on you or anyone else," Dark said standing and started to pace the floor. "We need a plan and a good one at that."

"But I don't want to risk your lives anymore for a stupid fight," Satoshi said and stood up. "I'll just go."

"But Satoshi," Daisuke started to say with worry before Wyth jumped up into Satoshi's arms.

"Huh?" Satoshi said as Wyth gave his adorable smile and started to glow and grow. Then he got heavier and Satoshi let him go quickly and stared as Wyth stopped glowing and looked at an identical copy of himself.

"Kyuu!" Wyth said as he stood looking at Satoshi's surprised face taking on Satoshi's exact form, a smile on his face.

"Perfect idea Wyth!" Dark said as everyone looked in surprise at Wyth.

"He…he turned into me?" Satoshi asked surprised pointing at Wyth.

"Eh? But I thought he could only turn into me or Dark," Daisuke said surprised standing up next to Satoshi.

"Daisuki!" Wyth said with a smile and tackled Daisuke and Satoshi both.

"Ah Wyth! It's Daisuke! Not Daisuki!" Daisuke said as he pushed Satoshi-Wyth off him and Satoshi.

"Daisuki?" Satoshi-Wyth asked as he sat on the floor and blinked.

"Ke! Ke Wyth!" Daisuke said then sighed. "Argh. Dark looks like we need to train him to speak again."

"No problem," Dark said with a laugh. "We got the rest of the day. How hard can it be?" Wyth gave a laugh and Satoshi raised an eyebrow at him.

"And how to act like me too," Satoshi said. "If he does something I wouldn't do I'm sure Krad will surely notice. He's not stupid on that sadly."

"No worries," Dark said with a grin. "Just leave it to me."

"I was afraid he'd say that," Satoshi mumbled putting a hand over his face shaking his head. "Let's hope this works."


Well hope that clears up any mishaps of jumping from chapter seven to chapter nine (originally chapter eight). But anyways, I'm trying my hardest to complete this for sure. It's been a long, long time since I've written on it. So thanks again to all who's been with me all this time waiting for me to finish.
