Author: sorry for the late update. I had to work on this chappie extra hard for all of you! I can't believe I reached a hundred o.o so… this chapter is mainly … fan service XD
Chapter Ten: Trickery
Saehara let out a breath. "Why didn't I get kissed like that?" He asked, what happened not entirely registering.
Mio snorted. "Because I don't like you."
Riku glared at Mio. "I believe that is enough of truth or dare."
Satoshi could hardly conceal his smirk. He had done that on purpose to not only dissuade the twins from ever trying to go after Daisuke but also hint at that annoying girl Mio that things were never going to turn towards her. And it was apparent she got the picture, because even though she said differently about the kiss, she was seething.
Mio gave her a wide grin. "You're such a wuss." She stood, stretching. "I think it's time for me to go home now though…" she added, peering through the water at the sky. Indeed it was getting dark.
Daisuke felt his stomach rumble. "Yeah… it's time we got home too…"
Risa looked at him then at Riku. "Yeah… I'm hungry."
Saehara was still a little flabbergasted, but he followed the others out onto shore, dressing. He waved goodbye to Daisuke and winked at Mio before disappearing down the path. He had a lot to contemplate when he got home. Mio hugged Daisuke before leaving as well.
Just as Risa was waving at them to leave Satoshi felt a sonic boom ripple throughout his body. He fell to his knees, wincing. 'Krad… no please…' He said desperately, shutting his eyes tightly. He wasn't about to transform right here! He clutched his chest as the next ripple shook his entire being. 'I said NO!'
Daisuke's eyes filled with concern as he knelt beside Satoshi. "Satoshi-kun…" he whispered. "Is there something wrong?"
Riku peered at him, frowning. "Do you think he worked himself too hard? He is kinda underweight looking…"
Risa nodded, looking worried. "I hope he's okay…"
You and me both… Daisuke thought, wishing he could hug Satoshi close, but the twins were there still.
Satoshi let out a little gasp, an inner turmoil raging causing him to break out into a sweat. His face flushed as if with fever as he fought to keep every breath his own. Daisuke tightened his grip on Satoshi's shoulders and looked at the two Harada's.
"Let me take care of this. He probably just needs some room. You can go home." He said, trying to keep a smile on his face. He was really worried at this point.
"But…" Risa protested, but Riku grabbed her arm.
"Yeah.. Let's go… it's been fun Daisuke." She started pulling Risa toward the path.
"You two aren't going anywhere." A voice said and Daisuke looked back at Satoshi only to feel his soul leave his body from freight.
Krad got up, a smirk across his face. "I have need of you mademoiselles." He snapped his fingers and the surprised girl's faces turned to that of a blank mask and they fell to the ground with a dull thump.
Krad turned to Daisuke, whom was looking at him with uttermost hatred. "You keep trampling on ground that is mine I'll have you know."
"Satoshi isn't yours!" Daisuke spat, his body tense from adrenaline.
Krad growled and in an instant Daisuke felt his arms being yanked behind him by one of Krad's hands, his other cupping his chin as he glared into the redhead's eyes. "You sincerely think that you can take anything that is mine? Hikari is mine. I've let you play with him long enough I think." A smirk played across his lips. "That is, unless you have something to trade me."
Daisuke understood what he meant all right. "I have nothing for you Krad."
'This is my battle… he wants me Daisuke…' Dark said into his mind.
'What's new? He's threatening to keep me away from Satoshi! He also has the twins…' Daisuke said, feeling the force of the situation weighing upon his shoulders.
'That is precisely why you should let me handle this situation. I'm better at this than you are.' Dark said firmly.
'Fine. But if you two start screwing in the middle of the mountain, I'm going to kill you.' Daisuke said irritably. He was feeling very annoyed he couldn't help Satoshi.
Dark glared at Krad, crossing his arms. "You know, if you're trying to court me, you're doing a hell of a bad job."
Krad chuckled, bending over him. "I'm so glad you came out to play with me. It's been far too long, don't you think?" He ran a hand over Dark's cheek, hardly containing his pleasure as Dark bit him. "Mmn… Keep doing that and you won't last long."
"I came out to propose a proposition." Dark said irritably.
"Hm? What is it?" Krad was looking predatory, eyes glowing in the dying light. It was… horrifyingly beautiful.
Dark felt a smirk coming up and he quickly concealed it. This was the time to play his cards right. He leaned forward to Krad. "Allow Daisuke to see the little creep and those two lovely ladies get to go… and you get…" He ran a hand down Krad's chest, the yellow eyes watching him sharply. "Me."
"I'm not stupid Dark, as sexy as that'd be, I know you well enough that you wouldn't follow through with your promise." Krad chuckled, sliding his fingers down Dark's arm, using his elbow to bring him uncomfortably closer . "I have my own plan you see." His golden orbs bore into his purple ones, showing his lust and want. He moved so that his lips were hardly a centimeter from Dark's. "And you're playing into it beautifully. However…" He pulled away. "I'm going to give you a choice…"
Dark's eyes narrowed as he was dragged over to Risa. Krad plucked a feather from his white wings and they formed shackles, appearing on her wrists and ankles, binding her. "I know you care not for that other girl. But this one… you allow her to follow you." he continued, using his magic to force her up and go into a tree, the binds digging into the tree so she couldn't move no matter what. "You don't want to make me jealous Dark…" Krad's voice took on a silky whisper as he turned to Dark who wasn't looking very happy.
"You shouldn't be jealous over her." Dark said coolly. "She means nothing to me. A mere vessel to take out any frustration I may have."
"And why would you be sexually frustrated? Unless of course, you really do want me." Krad's hands slid to Dark's wrists, gripping them tight. Dark did nothing, as there was nothing he could do but continue his biting words.
Suddenly he had it.
"What if I do?" Dark said boldly, his eyes giving away nothing.
A flicker of surprise made its way to Krad's golden eyes, but he easily confined it. "So… you admit it?"
Dark leaned over, his lips brushing Krad's. "What do you think?" He whispered huskily.
Krad felt confusion shoot up his veins, his thoughts flying at dizzying speeds. Was this a joke? It had to be right? But what if it wasn't? Would he finally get what he wanted? It better not be a joke…
Dark's arms went around Krad's shoulders, kissing him rougher. Krad accepted it with interest, wrapping himself around Dark's waist. He slid a hand up Dark's back, under his shirt, hardly daring to believe this was true.
'Dark…' Daisuke said warningly.
'Don't worry about it Daisuke. I have a plan…' Dark said to him before cutting off their connection so he wouldn't be distracted.
Dark broke the heated kiss, moving down to Krad's neck where he nibbled the flesh. "Well?" he asked softly. It was hard to say if he was enjoying this or not. But, he was oddly having problems breathing correctly as it came in short pants, his head light and he didn't feel grossed out by doing this. He… almost… liked it.
Krad was staring off into the distance, breathing hard. "I'll kill you if this is a joke…" He said quietly, looking back down at Dark as he lifted his shirt a ways, kissing his stomach.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Dark said with a purr in his throat, pushing Krad to the ground. "Since I am not." He kissed him forcibly, slipping his tongue as Krad opened up in his shock.
Krad closed his eyes as he allowed for the moment that Dark explore him, taking in his lustful and seducing taste. Why does this feel so surreal? He thought to himself. I should be happy… but I am scared… He found he didn't like that.
A growl rose in his throat as he rolled over so that he could straddle Dark, blocking his thoughts with mindless passion. A hand slid down to Dark's pants, starting to unbutton them. He kissed down Dark's chin to his neck, biting his flesh crudely. Dark let out a startled gasp, his eyes closing tightly. Krad suckled the blood that dribbled forth, it staining his lips. He moved back to kiss Dark, staining his lips as well.
He pulled back to look at him in the dying light, a glow falling upon their bodies. "Beautiful…" Krad whispered, his fingers brushing away the hair that fell in Dark's eyes.
Dark felt like the word was mutual. Krad was gorgeous in the glow that was cast, skin looking soft and delectable, his eyes no longer glowing predatorily, instead, they were full of need and desire. His lips were twisted in a lovely smirk, the blood on them perfecting the picture…
Dark shook himself inwardly. What on earth was he thinking? He mentally berated himself. He had no business in thinking of Krad in that way! But it was hard not to… he closed his eyes in submission as Krad met his lips once more, feeling his pants slide a little down.
"I'm taking what is mine…" Krad whispered sexily into his ear, causing his heart to thump unnaturally fast.
Dark shivered as he pushed with his hips, throwing him in his position and vice versa. "I will take what is mine." Dark echoed, causing Krad to look at him in wonder. He unbuttoned Krad's shirt and started kissing down his chest, undoing Krad's pants as he did it.
Krad let out a startled groan and closed his eyes. Dark took the chance to kiss him one last time before using both hands to brutally push his head to the ground, knocking him unconscious. He sighed as Krad went limp under him, burying his face into his chest. "If only you weren't so disturbing…" He muttered, closing his eyes. "Then maybe I'd give you a chance." He sighed heavily, pulling his up pants and buttoning them.
He stayed there till the painful feeling of his pants being too tight went away. He reluctantly left his warm body, his thoughts still swirling over the fact he was enjoying their little sessions more and more. His desire for a man was growing, and this really wasn't helping. He looked at Krad's angelic face and felt guilt for the bump he was bound to get.
Well, Krad did say he liked it rough.
After Dark left his body, it morphed back into Satoshi. Dark slung him over his shoulder and looked at the twins. Nothing permanent. He took off the binds and walked off, allowing them to wake a few minutes after was gone. They'd simply think they had just left Daisuke and the creepy boy.
When he got home he allowed Daisuke to take over, setting Satoshi down. "He doesn't look so good…" Emiko said, peering over Daisuke's shoulder.
"I think he's sick mom…" Daisuke said mournfully. It was true, his breathing was shallow and his face hot, eyebrows knit together as if seeing a nightmare.
"Well.. Dinner is ready… wake him and see how he feels…" His mother said, going back into the kitchen.
Daisuke sighed and gently shook Satoshi's shoulder. Satoshi let out a low moan and struggled to the waking world. "Daisuke?" He croaked, his mouth dry. "Here.." Daisuke handed him some bottled water which he took gratefully. "Are you up to eating?"
"I'm not hungry…" Satoshi said sleepily, his eyes closing again. "I'm… so tired."
"Rest then…" Daisuke said soothingly, planting a kiss on his forehead once he made sure no one else was around.
Satoshi made a noise in his throat in acknowledgement, then was gone back into the world of dreams.
"Well?" Emiko asked, popping back in.
"He's too tired to eat mom." Daisuke answered.
"Well… bring him up to your room and I'll take your food to you. Don't spill on your bed." She added.
"Yes mom. Thanks." He smiled at her before carrying Satoshi bridal-style to his room, gently laying him on his bed. He resisted the urge to stroke his hair till he ate and his mom took his tray. After asking her to close his door, claiming he was going to rest, he buried himself under the covers with Satoshi, holding him close.
"I wish you weren't sick…" He whispered, Satoshi's cheek hot against his neck. "But… I'm glad I can take care of you…"
He slid the wet rag onto Satoshi's forehead, hoping it'd cool him off. He held him tight till he fell asleep. He woke again around three in the morning to re-cool the rag in the basin his mom had left that he had balanced precariously on his steps.
In the morning Satoshi wasn't any better.
In fact, he was even worse.
He moaned in his sleep, his entire body coated with sweat. Daisuke wiped him down in vain, worried beyond words. "Satoshi… what's happening…" He whispered, feeling insignificant once again.
He felt the bump Dark had given him and Daisuke couldn't help but feel fresh anger run through his blood. 'How could you…' He scolded him.
'I had to get the twins away from him. You can never tell what he is planning.' Dark said darkly.
'You toyed with Krad…. He's not going to forgive you.' Daisuke said finally.
'Yes, but I'm ready for him."
