Hello everyone! It's been sooooo long since I've updated. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! (bows repeatedly) I had just gotten so busy for senior year of school and graduating and looking for a job all summer. I finally found one though. (smiles) But sadly it takes up a lot of my free time to write too so I only get my breaks to write or my days off. But don't worry I'll continue to write! (sweatdrop) But the other reason why I hadn't updated in so long is because I had been looking for this chapter. I thought I'd written it down in one of my many notebooks for all my stories but it ended up being on the computer after all. (sweatdrop) That and bad writer's block for this story too. But I reread the whole entire story over again and my inspiration is back! Yay! Anyways enjoy the chapter after a looooooooong update. And thank you for all your patience! (gives kudos and cookies to everyone)
-Chapter Twenty One-
"Satoshi what are we going to do?" Daisuke asked with a small sigh as he sat on the railing facing towards the windmill fountain, his back towards the ocean off in the distance.
"I don't know what to do anymore Daisuke," Satoshi replied standing to Daisuke's left and leaned on his elbows against the railing looking off towards the ocean as the early night air was shifted slightly with a soft breeze. He glanced to Daisuke looking down at a black feather of Dark's from his last theft of another Hikari art with Krad the other day. It had been a few days after finding out how Dark had lost his sanity as well.
"We can't do anything can we?" Daisuke asked quietly looking down at the feather still with a slightly saddened look on his face. "We can't do anything to stop them at all."
"Daisuke don't say that," Satoshi replied standing back up straight and put a hand on Daisuke's and looked in his fiery red eyes with his own icy blue ones. "We'll find some way to get Dark back and defeat Krad."
"But how can we Satoshi?" Daisuke asked shaking his head slightly and Satoshi pulled his hand back away. "We don't even have any powers that we had when they were a part of us. Without that we can't do anything."
"Daisuke," Satoshi said softly then glanced away.
Suddenly a car went past on the street nearby and the horn honked loudly startling Daisuke. He quickly straightened up from leaning over a little and started going backwards losing his balance off the railing to the ground farther below.
"Daisuke!" Satoshi said quickly reaching a hand out to grab Daisuke's outstretched hand but just barely touched his fingertips and unable to get a grip.
"Satoshi!" Daisuke said falling down backwards towards the ground farther below watching Satoshi's eyes widen as he leaned over the railing with his arm out to him. He still held the black feather in his hand and he closed his eyes tightly waiting for himself to hit the ground below.
'Wings,' Daisuke thought as he fell holding the black feather tightly. 'If only I had wings like before.'
Suddenly he felt a familiar warm tingling spread through him then a sudden familiar pain in his back as he felt something familiar coming from it. He opened his eyes quickly just before he hit the ground opening up wings that had come from his back like they had before during the fight with the Black Wings and Krad.
Turning and stopping inches before hitting the ground, Daisuke glanced down at it before glancing behind him to see the familiar black wings open and spread out behind him. He blinked in surprise and looked up towards Satoshi above who also had a look of surprise on his face. Then he flew back up towards Satoshi easily as before.
Stopping on the other side of the railing to Satoshi still looking at him with a surprised look, Daisuke's own shocked look slowly turned into a big grin. "I have my wings!" he said with a sudden rush of excitement to the surprised blue haired boy in front of him.
"But…what…how?" Satoshi asked confused. "We don't have them a part of us anymore."
"I don't know either," Daisuke replied then looked down at the black feather he still held that was glowing softly like Dark's feathers normally did. He gave a quick thought then turned towards the beach that was deserted off in the distance and threw the feather towards it thinking to himself to have it make a small explosion once it hit the sand.
Suddenly a small bit of light emanated from it as it hit and just as Daisuke had thought, it exploded once it hit the sand. Daisuke gave a slight blink as the sand settled and he could just make out a small hole in the sand from the small blast and looked back to Satoshi.
"Looks like I have not only wings but powers too," Daisuke said with a smile and put his hands on Satoshi's shoulders. "But what about you? You must have them too like me."
"I…I don't know," Satoshi replied biting his lip a little. "I don't feel anything different."
"Um I know! Try thinking of something like...um...needing wings or something," Daisuke said letting go of Satoshi's shoulders. "I kept on thinking I needed wings while falling and I got the same familiar warm feeling I did when I first transformed into Dark and then I had wings just like him."
"That was it?" Satoshi asked slightly confused and Daisuke nodded. He gave a slow nod then looked back towards the street before looking back to the redhead. "Um do you think you could take me down there because I don't really want anyone else to see us this way? It's probably for the best if you know what I mean."
"Oh uh sure," Daisuke replied as Satoshi sat on the railing and turned around so he faced out towards Daisuke and the ocean and Daisuke grabbed a hold of him and floated down to the ground below where they wouldn't be seen.
Concentrating a moment, Satoshi suddenly felt the familiar pain he felt every time Krad had forced his wings out and sank to his knees as he felt his wings come out. He blinked and slowly stood back up and glanced back to see them the normal white they had always been and looked to Daisuke who was smiling softly.
"That wasn't too hard after all," Satoshi said after a moment before Daisuke floated up slightly in the darkening night air.
"Come on Satoshi," Daisuke said holding his hand out towards Satoshi. "Why not try out flying on your own? And maybe we can see what powers we still have of the others too."
"Uh okay," Satoshi replied with a small nod and took Daisuke's hand and slowly floated up into the air getting adjusted quickly to flying himself without Krad taking over. It was just like when Wyth had come to his call and he had flown back to Daisuke's house.
Landing on Daisuke's balcony quietly, both boys went inside silently after an hour and a half of trying out their powers letting their wings disappear. They quickly changed out of their shirts they had on from them getting ripped in the back and hid them.
"It probably would be best that we not mention this just yet until we know more of how much powers we have," Satoshi said quietly to Daisuke who nodded.
"So far we've got our wings and the feather attacks exploding," Daisuke pointed out as they went out of his room and down the stairs quietly to put their shoes down at the door. "Maybe we just might have a chance to get Dark back now once we work more on these powers?"
"I'm sure we'll get him back," Satoshi nodded in reply at Daisuke's lighter mood from earlier. "But I'm still curious how we managed to get these powers when they are no longer a part of us." He paused a moment thinking. "I'll have to look into this."
"Sometimes you analyze too much Satoshi," Daisuke said but gave a soft smile as they went down to the living room where Daiki and the others were at.
Anyways sorry the chapter was rather short. I'm still getting after my muses for inspirations. Been giving me ideas for other stories though. I have a fanfic of Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight' series I've been working on as well that crosses over with some of my original characters. I'll have to put that up as well for everyone to read. Well hope you enjoyed the chapter though. Promise to update much quicker! (goes after muses for ideas)
Oh and one last thing, this being 6th of October, I am now 19! So this is a bit of a special day for me. I'm so happy! (dances around) Anyways, loves you all much my fellow readers! (gives cake and ice cream to everyone)
