Everything I Hate Revolves Around You
Lament 21: Secret Staircases and Half Confessions
I can't believe him!!
Daisuke flopped back on his bed, glaring angrily up at the ceiling as if it had suddenly offended him.
After the bathroom episode the entire class went on a trek to a secluded building where the sensei gave a rather long boring narration of its historical importance.
The only thing important to me…Daisuke had grudgingly thought as the whole class entered it. Is getting out of this weird place…
For the building wasn't so modern in and of itself and it had the faint odor of something that might have died recently. It even made the regular expected "haunted house" noises-weird whistling, random creaking, slamming of doors and shutters caused by the wind…Even the gloominess was affecting some of the more bubbly classmates and they stayed almost silent. Daisuke found it all in all to be not only a pointless excursion but a creepy one.
He wasn't the only one that seemed to think along those lines. Everyone seemed to be in a rather damp mood-even Dark. He couldn't help but glance warily at the older teen-it was oddly entertaining to see his nose wrinkle ever so slightly as dust floated up with every step he took, the way his eyes shifted slightly into the darker corners of the room and narrowed, as if trying to gaze into them…
W-whaaaa??? What the hell…?? Daisuke blushed looking away. What the hell is wrong with me? What…was I thinking just now…? Why…?
Meanwhile, near the back of the group, the twins were squabbling quietly amongst themselves.
"Ewww..cobwebs…"Risa moaned quietly in disgust, shaking them from her fingers. Riku stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes.
"You're such a girly girl, Risa..." She turned away. "Getting so worked up over some cobwebs…"
Risa threw a glare at hr twin then froze, a whole new expression on her face.
"R-r-r-rik-ku…" She stammered eyes budging. Said brunette turned slightly rolling her eyes at the now buldging expression on her twins face.
"What now?? What's wrong with you…? I swear getting so worked up over-"
"There's a SPIDER ON YOU!!!" Risa screeched loudly, instantly drawing the attention of the rest of the group. Riku slowly glanced over at her sister and where he finger was jabbing…
"ARGH!!!!!!!!"
Riku did not like spiders. Or any manner of bugs or "creepy crawlers" for that matter.
Daisuke sweatdropped considerable.
Oh geez….
Her arms were instantly flailing as was the rest of her body. It would have been drop dead hilarious, had it not have happened in such a creepy place.
"EWWWW!!! EW, EW, EW, EW!!!!! GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! YARGH!!!!"
Argentine found this madly hilarious and began to crack up. The rest of the class wasn't sure weather to join in laughing or try and help.
One older teen finally made that decision.
Gently restraining the struggling and screeching girl, Dark sighed and gently plucked the critter out of her hair where it had just been making its home. He tossed it aside and it went flying, nearly hitting Risa.
"ARGH!! Is it still there? Is it still on me??? Ewwwwwwwwww!!! It better be off me, I swear-!! ARGH!!!"
"It's off, it's off…" Dark coaxed, slightly twitching from the screechy quality of the girl's voice. "Relax…" He let go of her and she sighed, her entire body drained from her frenzied fear.
"Oh Riku you're sooooo lucky..." Risa cooed, throwing Dark a happy look and a rather jealous one at Riku. "Awww…Darky, if I had a spider on me would you pull it off me too…?"
Dark glanced at Risa, highly unamused while Daisuke was suddenly seething.
How dare she…!! Sucking up to him-!!
"If you made as much commotion as your sister…" The older teen grumbled. "I think I'll pass…" As Risa wilted and started clinging to Dark's leg the rest of the class lost some interest and began to follow their teacher again. Daisuke threw one last withering glare at Risa and Dark and whirled, stomping away. Riku blinked after Daisuke, confused.
What…was that just now…? Was he jealous…?
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Stupid, stupid, stupid…Daisuke grumbled to himself as he stalked away, fists clenched painfully until his own nails nearly broke the skin.
How could he let her cling to him like that? Bastard!! Sneaking, conniving bastard…!! He sighed, irritated, and held a hand to his forehead, suddenly realizing his line of thought. Wait…!! Why?? What the hell…?? I know I've been saying that nearly all the time now, but honestly why was I getting so worked up over that!? It's not like-!! He hmphed, folding his arms stubbornly. He can do what he likes!! I don't care!! That's just how he is! Stupid player, prince charming, oh gag me…oh look, I saved you from a scary spider oooohhhhh!! I'm so great, bow down to me and cling to my legs!! Gag me!!
He didn't realize that he had stalked off and taking a right turn instead of a left one that the rest of the class took.
I hate his attitude!! So kind, so charming!! Pfft!!! More like demonic, perverse and-argh!!
He had just realized that the chatter of his fellow classmates was no longer present and he was standing in a deserted hallway. The walls were peeling, old pictureless frames hanging from bent nails. Tattered tapestry framed a dirty window a little ways off to his right. Blinking, he whirled and slapped himself.
"Oh crap…" He mumbled. "What happened…? Where did everyone else go…?"
Daisuke glanced around a bit and walked forward hesitantly, trying to hear any trace of something familiar.
Nothing…
Cold realization hit him.
He was alone.
No one knew where he was. He must have taken a wrong turn….
And his teachers' warning form earlier wasn't helping his now panicky state of mind.
"This place might not seem it, but it has countless hallways and turn-offs. If you don't want to get lost for a good five hours stay close to me."
I don't even think they'll go down this way….Daisuke's mind was in a slight frenzy now. It's so deserted, so gross…
Great I really did it now…...
He wanted to lean against the wall in despair but noting the rotting quality he voted against it. After all, he didn't think that greenish fungus looking too inviting anyways…
With a sigh, he walked forward, hoping illogically that maybe by some weird chance the way would loop back eventually…
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It was Krad who noticed first.
"Eh…?" He looked around and paused, frowning over the heads of the other students. Argentine and Dark, who had been walking right behind him ran smack into him and protested loudly.
"The hell, Krad…?" Dark mumbled, rubbing his head. "Could mind keeping your daydreaming for later? I don't need a ditzy road block in my way…"
"Shut up Dark." Krad retorted calmly, the frown darkening considerably. "Where is he…?"
"Who?" Dark sneered. "You're little lover boy?" Krad whirled, face red from embarrassment, but it looked like it could have passed for rage if no one wanted to take it the other way. "No, you idiot! Dammit, it's Daisuke! I can't see him!"
Now his voice, which had been gaining volume, was starting to catch other people's attention. Argentine rolled his eyes but Dark's face twitched briefly into an expression that startled Krad.
"What did you say?" Dark's voice was carefully neutral, but his eyes spoke a different story.
What in the world…? Krad thought faintly.
"Daisuke's….gone…"
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
"Awwwwww, crap!!!"
The red head slammed his fist into the musty wall next to him and winced as fluffy dust clouded up into his face. He coughed weakly and began to sneeze uncontrollably. Staggering forward, he nearly slammed into the wall in front of him.
"Dead end…" He mumbled as his hand trailed off the wall in front of him. He closed his eyes in frustration and was slightly surprised when he opened them again feeling two wet trails course down from them. I…I'm crying…? He numbly traced two fingers up to his cheeks and angrily brushed them away.
"Damn it!!" He burst out collapsing against the musty wall. He didn't care anymore-to hell if he actually inhaled something hazardous to his lungs. If only…
If only things weren't so messed up…
The wall in front of him sank in a bit under his weight and he continued to sob quietly. He didn't even know what had brought on such an urge but nevertheless…
I'm acting like such a girl…
Something groaned beneath his hand, grinding and clicking. Startled Daisuke gave up his sobbing and backed away from the wall as it completely collapsed on itself.
"Whaaaa??" Daisuke yelped as something began to unfurl from deep within the chasm created from the collapse of the wall. Creaks and slams made Daisuke back up even more-that proved to be a smart move when, just where he was standing the very foot of what was unfolding slammed on the spot he was standing on. The force was enough to knock Daisuke on his butt and he eeped, gazing upwards. He didn't mind the extra dirt and dust that flew into his eyes because it hadn't rubbed away what he thought was surly an illusion.
"And I thought stuff like this was only in the movies or in the books…." He mumbled in wonder.
A sturdy set of slightly dusty stairs wound upwards in a tight spiral. He couldn't see much beyond them from where he stood but he knew it couldn't lead very far.
"Secret staircases….fun…" He mumbled and, taking a hold of the smooth banister, he began to ascend…
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Why you idiot!!
Dark broke away from the group, oblivious to the shouts from Krad, Argentine, and their teacher to stop.
Did you have to go and make a mess of things, Daisuke…?? Damn it…Dark hastily rounded a random hallway. As he ran he sighed, feet pounding You…you must have done it on purpose…breaking away so someone could play hero to rescue you…
What the hell were you thinking…??
"That idiot!!!" Krad burst out and took off after Dark. The teacher yelled angrily after Krad as well, ordering him to come back.
"Oh my god, are you kidding me…stupid ditzy blond-headed brother…"And Argentine was gone as well. The teacher gave up with a frustrated growl and turned to the rest of the wide eyed class. They all shrank under his rare but withering glare. It was one thing to see their teacher look amusingly annoyed or mockingly annoyed but it was another to truly see him angry. It never happened if ever…
"Anyone want to be an idiot and run off too?" He snarled, challengingly.
No one dared to move.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
"This is new…"
Daisuke had realized quickly that using the banister as support was not the smartest idea for two reasons
1) it was covered in something unidentifiable that was slimy to the touch and
2) bugs and spiders had the bad habit of running up and down it, across his hand as well…
After he got smart and actually decided to refuse using support another thing occurred to him. The stair case spiraled upwards something else that Daisuke found odd. He hadn't seen a second story to this place from the outside…
But then again I wasn't really paying attention…Daisuke admitted to himself as he continued trudging up the creaking steps, trying not to kick up any more dust. That would be bad…he had enough dust inhalation to last him a lifetime and he was of the opinion that any more would shorten his life by a year or so. There could have been a second story to this place…and with what I was thinking, well…
A slow blush rose to his face as he covered his mouth. Memories were his curse at the moment and had been when the group had trudged up to the weird building. All his mind would do was replay the bathroom incident over and over until he was rather sick of it and could have thrown up right then and there…
What ever happened to the normality of before…? He mused mournfully causally threading his fingers briefly across the dusty surface of the banister. Before things were terrible, but manageable, predictable. Things have never been as unpredictable as they have become now…
I would give almost anything to have what I had before…no matter how much I hated it…Daisuke stopped just before landing on the last step.
It was crazy, wrong, demeaning…but I, in my own sad way, got used to it…He vaguely yearned for the far-off yet not so far-off time when Dark was mocking him cruelly ten different ways, where Krad would smile and offer him green tea, when the class followed Dark's lead in tormenting him…
And now…
The whole class was starting to actually respect him, Krad confessed to feeling something more than friendship, Riku had become his first friend that was a girl only to be chased away by a suddenly zealous Dark that had managed to corner him twice on a bed and screw the living daylights out of him…
And it was something he had just barely realized out of the blue that he was enjoying.
Daisuke clutched at his chest painfully, his heart thundering madly in his ears and breastbone.
No…why…he finally managed to rise up on the second level and stumbled forward, ears throbbing slightly. I can't possibly…but my body's telling me something different…
He was starting to enjoy the slightly rough treatment Dark delivered to him on that level. Maybe even…like it…possibly-
"I can't even-! Don't even go there…" Daisuke mumbled to himself not even noticing his surroundings until he managed to pull himself out of his own self-induced misery. And that realization made him gasp in surprise.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
You really must hate me this much then…
Feet slapped painfully against the already slightly weakened floorboards as Dark skittered around another corner. Again, he was thankful to his athletic career as it was since he was well conditioned and with all the stopping and hard banking it would have worn out anyone else by now. But for Dark, it was not only his conditioning but the need to find Daisuke that drove his energy levels to their peek.
You should have known I would come after you-if this why you walked off? To torment me, if even just a bit in a childish way..? Dark groaned as he hit a dead-end and back tracked at his sprinting pace. I have wronged you emotionally, mentally, physically…that one can't be denied at all…
But will you put me though this just to prove your point…?
"Dark?!"
Dark yelled, nearly smashing into another male just as tall as he was. He went sprawling down with a stream of curses in a tangle of black and white clothed limbs, gold and black hair spilling over in each other's face. The later owner of the black hair coughed as the formers silken gold threads splayed into his mouth and he gagged.
"Krad, DAMIIT!!!"
Dark yanked himself off of the struggling blond. "I don't swing that way for you, Blondie…you might as well give up on earning my attentions-"
"Fuck's sake. Dark, this is not the time for you half-cracked ass gay basher jokes!!" Krad scrambled off the floor. "I'm her to drag your pathetic play-hero ass back along with Daisuke's when we find it-"
"Oh and what would you want with Daisuke's ass, hmmmn? Planning on plundering it to the point where he can't even walk anymore?" But Krad noticed that for the first time, even though he was insulting him and Daisuke slightly for that matter, there was a bitter edge to it that seemed to be aimed at him more directly than anything…
Huh…?
"What…gives you that idea…?" Even so, the blond's voice was becoming strained, eyes narrowing dangerously. Already there was that slow slinking feeling within the deepest recesses of his veins that started to burn… "I'm gay, yes, and yes I like him but I'm not planning on tearing him apart like that-"
"Liar."
The hiss coupled with the defiant, defensive blaze in Dark's eyes made Krad step back, the floor groaning in protest.
"Of course you would-given the first chance…" He continued, the contempt oozing into his voice. Amethyst eyes was now alight with something Krad couldn't believe he was seeing. "That he begged you to take him. Of course even your best meds and self control wouldn't stop you from wanting to screw him senseless if you were alone cooped up in the same room…"
Krad had had enough of Dark.
"What the hell is wrong with you?? What kind of magical crack have you been taking 'cause I'd like the docs to adjust your dosage…" He shook his head, blond ponytail whipping. "This wasn't and will never be about getting Daisuke in anyone's bed so much as trying to save him-"
"But that's the whole reasoning behind it all isn't it…?"
E-eh…???
…
What…??
Krad stared. This guy…Dark's hands were clenched into fists at his sides. He…Dark can't be serious….
"You've got to be kidding me…" Krad muttered, shaking his head and staring at Dark. He did not just accuse me of wanting to help Daisuke just so I could end up sleeping with him…"I…wait a second…" His eyes dimmed to slits again. "I'm supposing that's your reasoning then…."
"As if!" Dark snorted, "I don't need to play hero to be able to have Daisuke…"
At this, yellow eyes widened in shock.
He can't…
He's not saying…what I think he's saying…..
…
Right…?
But Krad never got his answer as Dark shoved past him. But in that passing he whispered something that only Krad could hear that finally broke him-
"Especially when you've come too late in claiming what I've already taken and been given…his everything."
The Krad Daisuke had come to be friends with on the spot died that day and without warning, the floor caved from beneath the shell shocked teen…
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's so…Daisuke reached his had towards one smooth finished wall and touched it. Finished….new…like someone's been taking care of it…
Down below him he heard a rumbling sound and the sound of giving wood. The resounding crash made him wince and flatten himself against the wall.
Oh…oh my god…I hope no one got hurt…Daisuke thought feverishly, looking around crazily. Suddenly a faint wisp of red caught his eyes and he frowned, eyes desperately trying to track it. But it had vanished.
"Damn….now my mind is now playing games with me…" He said to no one and he pushed himself off the wall then-there! Again!! It teased the corner of his vision…
Wait a minute… he was getting the feeling of teasing in the air…
But it defiantly wasn't a feeling of something that was form among the living doing it. He sighed. Blame Kusai for his sensitivity to disembodied spirits all of a sudden.
"Wish I never saw him either…" Daisuke mumbled as he began picking around the spacious area. "Kusai with all his weirdness…he's almost like Dark in a way…"
A cold chill, sending a slightly different vibe whipped around his ankles. Jumping and screaming like a girl, he raced to the nearest wall and pushed his back against it. He wouldn't have cared if anyone had dared to call him a coward-he would be the first to admit it right then.
"Yaaa…ya….ya…" Daisuke panted trying to calm his racing heart. Maybe he imagined that…
Or maybe not.
Another blast of chilly air bit at his ankles and he yelped again. Then the air stopped suddenly and the temperature plunged.
You've got to be kidding me…Daisuke groaned, wrapping his arms around himself. This would be so ironic not to mention suck major monkey butt if I end up freezing in here…
Nyyyahhhh, Daisuke-kun, I wouldn't do that to you…. A soft, churlish voice called out, echoing hollowly. The red head wrapped his arms more securely around himself, eyes widening slightly. It wasn't from the very point that he was hearing ghosts talking to him again but that the voice-
Sounds almost exactly like mine!
Ohhhhh does it really? I wasn't really paying attention since you screamed so loudly. I must say your screams could rival mine and that's saying a lot…
"Who…" the smaller teen called out into the emptiness. "Who are you…?"
Hehehehe…The voice chuckled. Come see.
A sliver of a form, shifting and undefined like curling smoke, appeared a few feet from him, giggling. The smaller boy yelped, taken by surprise but just as quickly he raced after it though the now brightly lit second floor…
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
"What in the world…?"
Dark skidded to a screeching stop right at the foot of a winding spiral of stairs. He frowned, mind trying to pinpoint why these seemed so wrong…
I don't know…why these stairs just don't seem right…Dark paused, his frown deepening. But I've been just about everywhere he could have gone from that turnoff without doubling back to where the class would be now…Dark edged closer to the stairs, glancing down at the foot of them.
Maybe he could have gone up here…? But no that wouldn't make sense…not if he had any sense to being with…I…Dark sighed, carefully inspecting the ground around the staircase
What he saw stirred a flurry of mixed feelings in him.
There, in the dust was a very fine, fresh footprint-exactly Daisuke's size.
"Daisuke!!"
With a cry, Dark burst into full sprint up the stairs without a second look back, not noticing that the steps behind him were beginning to disappear into the darkness…
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Daisuke burst into a lavish bedroom with an almost royal-style bed draped with brand new silk sheets. The room was lit, but Daisuke couldn't discover the source. Deep rich mahogany colored walls rose up to curve into a domed ceiling.
"Hey-!"
Daisuke cast around wildly for a sign of that giggly wisp but found nothing.
What…?
A low chuckle came from the bed and as the red head's gaze shifted to the course, a shape hazed into view. A boy that couldn't have been older than he was sitting on the sheets, arms crossed, head bowed. Deep rich red hair was spike haphazardly on his head and his simple attire rustled as if the material wasn't part of a ghostly vessel.
Daisuke backed up, confused and bewildered as the boy slowly raised his face…
And ruby eyes stared back at him.
"Wow, you even look like me too…" Ghostly-look-alike Daisuke commented in a voice that could have easily passed for Daisuke's own. "I mean, you sound the same, look the same…heck, your very name and mine sound very close…I see now why I had sensed Kusai's presence having came into contact with yours…" a briefly bittersweet smile crossed his face and those words alone were enough to complete the last puzzle he had in his mind.
"It's you!"
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Dark sighed leaning against the newly burnished wall. He knew something was wrong with those stairs and arriving on this second floor only amplified that oddness he felt. Nothing in this building had been touched at all since….well, almost forever….
"It had been abandoned since the deaths of those two boys"…Dark repeated to himself monotonously what the teacher had lectured them about. "Kusai and Daisoto…this was their hide out-the place where they could carry on with the relationship that neither father would approve of…the place was a one story building with lavish high domed roofs-"
Wait a minute! Dark's eyes jerked open, head pressed against the wall. The teacher said that this place was a one story building!! That means…Dark shook his head, trembling as he pulled himself away form the wall. This place…this place can't-doesn't- exist!! Then how…? How did I even get here…?? More importantly-how did Daisuke get up here…? That stair case…Dark looked behind him Anyone would have…
Dark froze, disbelief written all over his face.
N-no..im…impossible…
D-Daisuke…
He whirled around from where the staircase used to be and ran forward .
"Daisuke!!!"
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
"Daisuke!!"
Daisuke hear the call and both the living and the dead one froze.
"Ku…kusai…? The ghostly Daisuke asked hopefully. Daisuke looked over at his painfully hopeful expression and wished he didn't have to tell him it wasn't.
"…No…Daisoto…" Daisoto blinked turning wide ruby eyes to Daisuke's startled. The living red head smiled faintly. "Don't ask. It's a long story…"
"Oh, well…" but Daisuke could see the other red head was very depressed. He reached out to try and comfort him but all he touched was faintly touchable air. Daioto smiled weakly. "Aren't I cold?"
"No…" Daisuke shook his head. The ghostly male sighed and looked away.
"Who then, is that….other Kusai…?"
"His name…is Dark…" Daisuke answered hesitantly, not sure whether his voice came out strained, bitter, cautious or relieved. Thinking, even saying Dark's name stirred up so many feelings within him, he temporarily forgot the weirdness of the situation before him. Daisoto regarded him for a quiet moment then suddenly grinned.
"Oh, I get it-you're like me 'n Kusai! Cute! Except waaaay more confused!!"
Daisuke jaw dropped.
"Whaaaaa??"
Daisoto began to giggle again.
"Ahahahaha…don't you see? Daisuke you're practically in love with this Dark, whoever he may be!!"
"NANI????"
That was the last thing he wanted to hear or be told, especially by a dead look alike of himself.
"Hey, that's mean!! I haven't been dead that long!! When you're dead, you learn what time means in the realm of the living and we gain a sort of wisdom you living people don't get!!" He huffed and crossed his arms. "I can't believe how dense you both are-Kusai and I have been having a field day trying to get you to realize that you love him!"
Huh???
Now Daisuke was really lost.
"What…you…Kusai…what???" He mumbled weakly as Dark's shouts became louder, closer. Daisoto glanced at the door and giggled.
"Dark's smart, he's figured out this place really doesn't exist…"
"Then how are we here??" Daisuke groaned. He did not even want to contemplate what that meant…"You know me reading a lot of fiction doesn't help-we haven't died have we?"
"You and Dark??" Oh no, no, no, no!!" The laughter slightly irked Daisuke. Having a look alike laugh your lagh was very funny in a situation like this. "Very inconvenient for a lot of people if you died…no, your very much alive here as you were downstairs…"
"Wait wait, wait, we're getting off topic!!" Daisuke shook his head. "What's this with you and Kusai?? Have you been conniving against me??"
"Only to make you see the truth." A deeper voice cut in. For the second time that day, Daisuke nearly had a heart attack. Kusai appeared out of nowhere and sat down next to Daisoto, wrapping one arm around his waist. Even this was enough to make Daisuke blush-he looked away. It was not helping him at all to hear Dark's shouts practically outside the door and see two ghostly mirror images of them so close like that…
Daisuke rubbed one arm, suddenly chilled.
Why does it send those strange ripples up my spine that make me think that only Dark can make them race down my spine again…?
A banging on the door made all three occupants jump.
"Daisuke?? Daisuke?? Are you there?? Daisuke!!" Dark slammed angrily on the door but it wouldn't give. The ghostly couple looked to Daisuke and grinned.
"Looks like your lover wants you back…"
"Shut up, Kusai…" Daisuke growled. I don't need his Dark-like humor…The pounding paused then a muffled exclamation was heard.
"Daisuke?? You're alive?? You're alive!!" Kusai burst out laughing. Daisuke would have found this hilarious too-was he not currently mulling over what Daisoto had told him. "Daisuke!! I swear, if anyone else has molested you-!!"
"Oh go stuff yourself!!" Daisuke shouted back, much to Kusai's and Daisoto's amusement. "I do not need your fake pity!! Go find someone else to shower it on-like Risa!"
The couple inside exchanged a look that plainly said-he's doing this now??
"The hell??" The living red head could practically feel the other's frown through the door. "Risa?? Where did that come from?? The hell… That girl drives me insane!!" Daisuke's eyes widened and Kusai shot him a "no duh even I could have told you that". Daisuke felt like wanting to slap him. "I can barely tolerate her-she such a fangirl…!! Worse of them all, clingy possessive and, argh… Gag me…" At these words Daisuke felt an insane soaring feeling his heart. So then…he didn't like Risa…
"Oh wow, and yet you say you still don't even like Dark? You've got some work to do…" Kusai remarked dryly. Daisuke shot him a withering glare and he merely dismissed it with a wave. "Ah well…you've intruded on our little private haven enough…"
Daisoto reached forward and gently pressed two fingers against Daisuke's forehead. Daisuke gasped and fell backwards-the room began to dissolve.
The door fell apart and Dark rushed forward-only to be smacked soundly by Kusai.
"Dai…!"
Dark didn't finish calling out Daisuke name as he fell forward, right onto of Daisuke, unconscious. Gasping, Daisuke felt his own conscious slipping. Kusai smiled gently.
"Remember…" Daisoto's voice faded into the darkness as he spoke to Daisuke's and Dark's fading body. "…what I've told you…what you need to realize…"
And that was the last thing the red head knew as he slipped into a blissful nothingness…
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Okay, I really can't help myself this time-I just have to answer some of these reviews else it'll kill me not to…XD
ErraticMovements-do I have a bathroom fetish?? –laughs- that would be hilarious if I did…well, rather it's maybe a fetish for what can happen in bathroom stalls…public changing rooms...janitorial closets….XD
Firedragonmaiden-yeah, I know, poor Daisuke…molested and such…but fangirls love it…scary…-laughs-and yes, I do have dragon plushies in real life by the way….two or three actually…-smiles-
Shadow Vampiress-Well, imagine all the things you could do in the bathroom and the high risk of getting caught and getting in trouble ( I almost said screwed over, but eh, that could be a by-product for Daisuke for getting pinned in the stalls by Dark, neh…? Wrong choice of words there if I had said them…XD)
Violet Garnets- You're telling me?? I was the one who wrote it and now I'm getting paranoid in my own bathroom!! That's perhaps a sure sign of something I know it is…-winces- Well, wouldn't someone go slightly bipolar if this type of thing kept happening two three days in a row…? Me, I'd try and take the next bus, plane, ship, whatever out of that place…meds, yesh, that would be a good idea. But taking into account it's Dark that warping Daisuke's mind, maybe we should put him on hormone-suppressants or something…XD and you never know, maybe Daisuke might have some weird bout of pity and Dark may actually start acting like he cares more about Daisuke than molesting the hell out of him…which is what seems to be the only thing he really does care about when it comes to Daisuke…
-------------
I know this chapter was a bit longer and drawn out…but things are actually beginning to shift…Dark's actually changing a bit and Daisuke's responding to it-sort of…
I kind of had to bring back those "normal" fights between Dark and Krad back for a bit because a lot will hinge on that in the sequel. This one as you can tell is the first one that has Dark's shift in feelings in the undertone of his voice and Krad picks up on it for the first time…
Not too many chaps left for this story though..-sniffles- I know, I can hardly believe it either…but there will be a sequel folks so don't freak out just yet! –laughs- My B-day's in 2 days –goggles- so yeah…probably won't be doing anything for it, since half the time will be spent in summer school and the rest writing up yet another chapter for this fic…XD Oh and if you guys haven't been doing so lately check my profile-there's some new information on upcoming ficlets of mine that will be coming so if you haven't already do so, go ahead and take a look.
