This ch. is the beginning of the happy... Though there is only one more ch left... so xD

Review!

Warning: Slight Incest implications.

Satoshi peered out a slim window anxiously. Unease and anxiety were not a part of his daily life, and were only present when Hiwatari Kei was involved. That alone revealed how often he associated with his father.

He took a few steps to the left, another set to the right, and looked out the window again. This was not going to be a good day.

… …

The reporter groaned, shuffling his feet, moving his shoulders a bit, though not too much, for he did not want to wake the sleeping boy in his arms. Daisuke lay cuddling into his friend's chest, snoring quite loudly.

Takeshi had realized the night before that their relationship was perfect the way it was. To be able to hold and comfort Niwa proved to be the greatest privilege a trusted friend could have. He still loved the boy… But some sacrifices were necessary for true happiness- especially for the happiness of his best friend.

Daisuke gave a slight whimper, squirming in the reporter's arms, and opened his eyes with a start. He did not recall falling asleep or being coddled by Takeshi. The boy sat up lazily, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hands, cognizant of wary eyes watching every move.

"'Mornin, Dai…" Takeshi smiled- restricting his custom to gage the boy's reaction. Would he be angry and smite him? Or perhaps he wouldn't even remember the day before. Takeshi had to carry Niwa to the bed after he passed out in the bathtub, so it was plausible.

Daisuke lifted an eyebrow in question, "You're not as… chirpy…"

In return, Takeshi squished the redhead in his arms, nearly suffocating his victim- friend- laughing merrily all the while. Daisuke wrestled out of the predicament and settled on the bed, facing Takeshi.

The reporter stared at Niwa, who giggled and rubbed his head. Under such pressuring scrutiny, the redhead confidently raised his eyes to the other's in an even match to the challenge.

"Dai?" Takeshi leaned closer as if there was a detail he was missing. Deciding Daisuke was normal, or at least lacking a threatening gun to his head, and that he was just behaving like his old self, Takeshi gave his idiosyncratic grin, "You're … different."

Niwa beamed from his resolution being acknowledged, "Mmhm. I've decided not to run anymore. Satoshi can run all he wants… But I will catch him and make him mine."

Takeshi's eyes widened from Daisuke's blunt confession, and chuckled when a slight blush flushed his face when he realized what exactly he had just said, "Good. I was hopin' you'd snap out of it an' get Hiwatari back."

"Mmm…" Daisuke stretched out with his palms propping him up, "But… I don't know where he is…"

"I'll go look for 'im then! It's the least I can do…" Takeshi added somberly, "So, you get all tidy and ready to chase 'im down while I'm gone."

Daisuke's body burned a pleasing aura that radiated from his smile, "Thank you, Saehara!"

The reporter stood from the bed and without a glance behind, saw himself out the door in search for his best friend's lover.

Daisuke wondered what tidying up would be, and decided a shower would do great justice. So, he departed to the bathroom to do just that, creating a script in his mind of what to say when he actually caught Hiwatari. One thing he was sure to say.

… …

Takeshi briefly paused after taking three steps and wondered where Hiwatari could be. He did not know anything about the teenager, save for some random facts including Hiwatari's obsession with sadomasochism; which Takeshi believed more and more with each encounter.

With this in mind, he concluded that Hiwatari would be seeking out a new target and where else better to do that than the front lobby?

… …

Daisuke? The voice rang clearer than it had the previous night.

DARK! You're back! Daisuke's cheering voice echoed through his mind.

For the time being… The Phantom Thief muttered sarcastically and continued, but I wanted to tell you… Once you and Hiwatari…

Pause

… "Do it"…

Muffled laughter. Daisuke rolled his eyes.

I'll be gone.

A longer, pregnant pause.

I thought so…

Yea, it kinda sucks. But… I know he'll be good to you.

Daisuke bit back his emotions and a cry willing to emit.

Hell, you already act like an old married couple! Dark chuckled tentatively, attempting to cheer his tamer up. Seriously, Dai, you two were meant to be; You're going to end this stubborn feud between Niwa and Hikari.

Be proud of that.

In that secret place in Daisuke's mind meant for the two of them, Dark embraced his master, clutching onto his red jagged hair that resembled his own, the shoulders that were too narrow to be Dark's- yet were the exact same.

I love you, Dark.

Now don't get all sentimental on me. The thief complained and replied, I love you too, Dai. You're the best tamer a guy could wish for.

... …

Takeshi neared the lobby, peering around cautiously, and finally found what he sought. Hiwatari, escorted by a tall man in a suit, was traveling down one hall, among others that branched off the foyer.

The man had his arm wrapped around Satoshi's shoulders, urging him to move faster. Obviously, he was in a hurry, not Hiwatari. If anything, Satoshi seemed tense and reluctant.

His reporter and friend side were arguing on whether to investigate more, or tell Daisuke. Finally, he settled with following the pair, so he could tell Niwa exactly was going on- and sate his own curiosity.

… …

Kei led his son into a room he had reserved the night before. He would need privacy for discussing this with Satoshi.

After the formalities of a strained father-son meeting, Kei directed his son's attention to a table and two chairs set out before them. They sat and stared at each other in silence.

"Satoshi, explain what is happening." Kei recited- he memorized every word, every action that was to be committed.

"Niwa and I have been suffering due to being close during this field trip. When we are together, I loose control over my body and mind. Krad has complete control over whatever I do or think and sends my catatonic essence slowly to the Black Wings from which he came from."

"And?" Kei inquired expectantly.

"And I would hope you care enough for your 'son' to immediately remove him from danger." Satoshi was unmistakably angered.

"You expect me to remove you from a chance so potent? Niwa Daisuke is also going through this, from which I have heard, he is weak. You can ensure this never happens again with the flick of a wrist."

"I refuse." Satoshi growled.

"You will not disobey your father."

"I will not betray my friend." A glimmer of his "friendship" shone through his eyes, emerging just for Hiwatari Kei to see.

"Ah… that type of friend…" the man sighed and paused for a moment. This proves to be an obstacle in my plans, he thought, or maybe not…

… …

Takeshi's eyes widened from the sight and gaped open mouthed.

What the hell?

He wanted to stay and watch (the twisted part of him) but his mind demanded to tell Daisuke. After all, Niwa was the only one who could fix this.

… …

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Satoshi viciously snapped, struggling with a pair of arms attacking him.

"You're too soft on that foolish boy. You think you're in love? Do you seriously believe that hecould ever loveyou?" Kei boomed, seizing Satoshi's pale hair to look him in the eyes, "You, Satoshi Hikari, are disgusting. No one would love you."

Satoshi fought back, ignoring the menacing words. However, his heart believed every bit of it. He was disgusting, but he had come to terms with it. And Daisuke was willing to look past his faults and give him a chance. The brilliance he could never live up to was accepting and forgiving.

Realizing this was the wrong method, Kei shoved his son onto the bed. This was not apart of the original plan, but no author publishes a rough draft, he chuckled to himself.

Satoshi fought back vehemently, after construing together what exactly was going to happen. And fearfully, he found his deduction to be true as his father violently ripped his shirt open.

"As long as someone fucks you, you'll stay compliant." Kei landed an aggressive kiss on the boy's lips, "I suppose I have to reeducate you in obedience."

… …

"Daisuke!" Takeshi rushed into his friend's room, startled to find him caressing a mirror. For a second, he was perplexed, but ignoring his mind's incessant plea to ask "why", Takeshi delivered the important message, "Satoshi's dad is gonna rape 'im! You have to go help Satoshi!"

While he was telling of what he discovered, Takeshi was subtly forcing Daisuke out of his room and down the hallway. "W-what?" Niwa asked perplexed. Kei was here?

"They're in the very last door that way." The reporter stated, pointing and shoving Niwa in the appropriate direction. "Good luck!"

… …

"Father, this is hardly proper. Get off me." Satoshi demanded through clenched teeth. His father's hand wandered below his belt and gripped fiercely.

Hate me. Unlock that power with hatred.

"Did Niwa do this to you? Hmm? Do you beg for more when strokes this? Or perhaps you moan like a pussy when he plunges into that greedy hole of yours…"

Satoshi delivered a swift kick to the groin, momentarily regaining control. Although this was short lived, as his father snapped back with twofold vigor, crushing his son's throat with one hand while the other worked his pants off. "You must really want this, slut."

Kei planted another kiss on Satoshi's cursing mouth, this time forcing his tongue inside to effectively shut him up. It was working, that much he was sure.

However, when the door swung open, revealing a confused and bewildered redhead, Kei and Satoshi both looked toward the intruder with equal confusion and bewilderment. Niwa stood gasping for breath, for he ran the whole way, and pointed at Kei. "Stop!"

He could have sounded so much cooler, like a hero from a movie, but his mind couldn't process anything correctly, never mind an intimidating order to his boyfriend's father.

Kei laughed, "You put yourself in a daring position, Niwa Daisuke."

Ignoring the man, Daisuke spoke to Satoshi, "Satoshi, I love you. I'm sorry it's taken this long to say… But I really mean it!"

After the word you, Satoshi zoned out. His whole mind focused on those four words. Drawing Krad's strength- something, he did not know he could do- Satoshi forced his father off him and stood up resolutely. "Father, I have prior arrangements. Good bye."

And with that, Satoshi led his soon-to-be-lover out of the room by the arm, wanting nothing more than to consummate their relationship right away.

Bet you can guess what's in the next chapter! XD
