Kon'nichiwa! Sapphire Nightshade here! I'm not quite sure yet, but I might not be able to write on Tuesday. I probably won't be able to, or at least not until late . . . like 10 or 11 PM or maybe, hopefully not, midnight. But probably not at all.
Anyway, time for the chapter where we find out who was talking to Daisuke!
Chapter 14:
"K-Krad!" Daisuke stumbled back in surprise.
"What?" Satoshi said, hearing Daisuke.
Krad, what are you doing here?! Daisuke asked, bewildered and slightly angry that it hadn't been Dark that replied.
I don't get this, Krad replied, Here I am, having a fun time, and all the sudden I hear your voice in my head. You almost made me crash!
"Satoshi!" Daisuke said suddenly, "Call for Dark! Through thoughts, not talking!"
"W-why?" Satoshi replied, surprised at Daisuke's sudden outburst.
"Just do it! I can hear Krad!"
"You what?!"
"Do it!"
Where are you, Krad? Daisuke asked.
Krad scoffed, Like I'd ever tell you. You just want to get Dark back, right? If that happens, I might be forced back to Satoshi. I finally have my body to myself and I'm not going to go back!
"He's there!" Satoshi announced.
"He is?" Daisuke replied. "Are you sure?"
"Well, it's definitely Dark, and he's looking for you."
Let me talk with Daisuke! Dark said.
Sorry, Satoshi replied, but I couldn't if I tried. I'm connected with you and he's connected with Krad.
Krad! Dark responded, That thief!
I think you're forgetting who's the thief here, Dark.
Exactly why he shouldn't steal Daisuke on me!
"Wait," Kirigama-san said, "I'm confused. What's all this about Krad and Dark and talking to each other through thoughts?"
"Yeah, I don't understand it either," Nakamura-san agreed.
"I'll tell you later," Daisuke said. "Satoshi, ask Dark where he is. Krad won't tell me about either of them."
Satoshi nodded his head and asked Dark, Where are you?
Um, I'm not sure, Dark replied, Wait, why are you helping Daisuke? You're not plotting anything against him are you? You promised not to touch him.*
Who said I was helping him? And if I don't help reunite you two, who knows what might happen to Daisuke. If nothing happens, and if I knew that, then I wouldn't have come. Especially since this involves the risk of Krad coming back, and that I would virtually trap you if I left you here.
You forget that I can always cross worlds and come back.
"Satoshi?" Daisuke asked, "What did he say?"
"Oh, sorry," Satoshi replied, "We got sidetracked. Just a second."
Can you describe your surroundings?
Why should I tell you? Who knows what you might do with that information.
Because Daisuke is asking.
And if you're lying?
Satoshi thought about it for a little while, then replied, I guess the only evidence is for you to see for yourself when we get there.
There was silence for a few seconds until Dark replied, Fair enough. I think I'm in some sort of palace. The king has "taken me in" after I saved his daughter when she fell off a cliff, so now I'm in a room he gave me to stay in. Heh, I should've known Daisuke would try and save me. I shouldn't have been worried.
Wait, they can see you?
What do you mean? Of course they can! Why do you ask?
Well, it's just that the people here can't see us.
Silence again, but Satoshi could tell that Dark was confused.
Wondering why Dark wasn't responding, Satoshi relayed the information to Daisuke, Kirigama-san and Nakamura-san.
"Hm, there are three separate palaces that are more or less close by," Kirigama-san said. "It takes around an hour or two to reach each one. But it's very strange that he can be seen."
"Um, Kirigama-san?" Daisuke asked, "How do you know so much about this place?"
"Oh, that's easy," Kirigama-san replied, "I'm just plain curious."
The princess said something about it being in the royal blood line, Dark said suddenly, And something about us being at the North Palace of Sugiyama.
Satoshi repeated what Dark said.
"Oh, good!" Kirigama-san replied, "That's the closest one!"
*Yes, this in the the actual DN Angel story. If you doubt it, then read volume 2, chapter 6.
I feel like Krad was ooc (along with some others), sorry. Hm, this is the first time I've done a Satoshi POV, isn't it? Hope it turned out alright. Actually, I think I may have switched to Satoshi's to subconsciously avoid trying to copy Krad's personality.
Now what would happen if you re-read the chapter, and thought of it in Takito and Rain's perspective. What would you think if you saw this and had never watched/read DN Angel before? I know that I wouldn't understand a thing and would be as confused as Takito, if not more.
