Title: Heart of Darkness
Author: NT aka Aku-chan
NT: I'll stop with all the clans thing and new weapons. Yeah, I was working on my other story that has those and since I can't think two different thoughts, they sort of clashed together. ^_^ The weapons will stay because...well, they need to fight back somehow.
Dai: Scary story!!!
NT: Okay, let's recap. Actually, Ken, you recap.
Ken: -_-;; Well, in the -very- beginning, Takeru has nightmares and stuff -which is key- and Takeru and Daisuke start going out. Okay, they all go back to Yamato's place and Takeru goes into Yamato's room. There he changes as the darkness takes over him (Well, so it seemed) and then Daisuke, Miyako, Iori and I go to the Digital World. Oh, Yamato is in the hospital with Taichi after getting hurt by Takeru who changed his name to Korosu who in fact is the Child of Darkness and the Shadow Demon with these Dark Runes, which NT will explain in either this chapter or ones to come. *breathes* Feiya is a cat-demon who has an 'interest' in Daisuke and returns Iori and Miyako to the Real World but her identity was not always a demon but something else or someone else. Korosu encounters his Master in his quarters and the Master seeks something from Korosu.
NT: That was horrible.
Ken: I tried.
NT: I think I'll ask Daisuke next time.
Dai: *hiding in corner*
NT: I miss TK in this section. *makes TK appear*
TK: *blinks*
Dai: KERU-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *glomps*
TK: ^_^
Ken: I thought TK was Korosu.
NT: Well, here, he will be plain TK. The one we all love! TK, disclaimer.
TK: Uhhh, sure. NT does not own Digimon
NT: Twists!! And even more confusion!! ^_^ Gomen!!!!!!! I know I didn't update this is a while, but I was working so hard and my computer hates me. Really, it does. *kicks computer* Owie, my foot.
Ken: -_-;;
TK: =^_^= *being huggles by Dai*
NT: I also apologize for some OOCness. Read on!!

Chapter 6: Kuroi and Shiroi
***
'Master? What is it that you want from me?' Korosu thought wondering what was so special about himself.
'You innocent child. You still don't understand. You are my slave, my pet, my puppet.' Master grinned as he came closer to Korosu. His face merely inches from his 'slave'. With a last grin from Master, their lips joined. (NT: Just to tell you. Takeru's Master can read his mind. Okay, back to story!)
Korosu's eyes widened from the contact, but closed as pleasure filled his body. He moaned as the kiss deepened and Master's tongue was now venturing through the demon's mouth. Master's eyes widen also from the contact never expecting the feeling.
'This boy. Even as the Shadow Demon his lips remain as Takeru. It...it can't be.' But it was. Takeru was still there as Master thought that his creation was now the Child of Darkness. Takeru's lips remained as the rest of him turned to Korosu. The kiss finally broke as Korosu was nearly gasping for air.
"M-Master?" Korosu looked up at the one who had just kissed him. Master came out of the shadows and looked Korosu in the eye. He had finally revealed his true self and not just two icy eyes lurking in the shadows. What was surprising was the one who was now out of the shadows was.....himself. (NT: Burning Truth, you suggested this and I was leaning that way so thanks!)
Takeru stood before Korosu. Or at least one who looked like Takeru. Korosu recognized the face, the body, the hair.... except the eyes. The eyes didn't belong there. They were icy and devious and not fit for this...
Korosu couldn't think of the word s he winced in pain from the barrage of memories crashing at him, directly to his head. The other Takeru was still in shock from the earlier kiss.
"Who...who are you?" Korosu looked up with broken eyes. Master looked away reveling in his reflection in the small pond of water.
He noticed the soft curves of his face and every lock of dull blond hair. A pair of two icy blue eyes and a stoic voice. His eyes narrowed as a smirk found its way to his lips.
"Takeru..."
Korosu looked up by instinct, but turned away realizing that was not his name. "I am Korosu. Not this Takeru."
Master grinned. "You are Takeru. You look and feel as he. But you are not him." This of course utterly confused the child. (NT: And not to mention a certain authoress.)
"W-what...what do you mean?! I don't understand!" Takeru cried out.
"I am Takeru also. But, I, I am Kuroi Takeru. You are Shiroi Takeru." (NT: Yeah, well, I couldn't think of anything else.)
Shiroi Takeru could do nothing, but stare blankly at his darker counterpart. A few selected memories came back. Mainly those of pain and loneliness. Being the weaker and more fragile of the two, Shiroi Takeru fell to his knees and cried into his hands.
His gray hair turned a dull blonde as his body made its transformation back to the human boy he was before. A normal teenage boy cried in his torn clothes, broken from all the pain.
Almost as if out of worry, Kuroi Takeru wrapped his arms around his other and pulled him into an embrace. He was confused at his own actions, but for some reason, he couldn't let go. 'I know we were made to be one, but I feel as if I don't want to leave him. I'm in charge of this, however. I am the one to take control of our new lives.'
As time passed, Shiroi Takeru soon feel asleep. Kuroi Takeru pushed the few strands of gray locks away from his eyes and caressed his cheek gently. He shook his head, realizing what he was doing. 'Foolish boy.' Even after he said that, he could only hear one word stay in his mind: Beautiful. He shook his head a second time and walked away from the sleeping angel.
~~In the cell~~
"Uhhh....where am I? Damn." Daisuke tried to stop the pain in his head, but felt something pull on his wrists. "Huh?" When he opened his eyes fully and adjusted to his surroundings, he realized his wrists and ankles were chained and he was stuck on a wall. "What the-?"
"Daisuke, you finally woke up."
The goggle-headed boy looked to the voice and saw Ken in the same predicament.
"Ken, where are we?"
"I'm not sure. I was knocked out before I got here."
Daisuke pulled his hands to try and get out only to be stopped again by the chains. He kept struggling until his wrists and ankles turned red.
"Daisuke, that's not helping."
"Better than just sitting here doing nothing."
"You sure about that?"
Daisuke growled slightly, but thought on more important matters. Those matters mostly circulating around a certain blonde angel. "Takeru..."
Ken sighed knowing Daisuke was missing his koi, but being in this hellhole was not helping. 'Where could the others be? I hope they're all right. I hope -we'll- be all right.'
"You two must be hungry." A way-too-cheery-for-this-place voice rang through the dark room. Both boys looked up and glared at whatever was out there ready to fight, not that they could in their condition. "Don't worry. I'm only here to serve you food."
A young girl that looked about the age of 8 or something stepped out with a bright smile even with the current situation. She wasn't an ordinary girl though. She had little puppy ears coming out of her long auburn hair. A long brown tail came out from under her short yellow dress. Her whole body was covered with fur in different hues of brown. She was adorable looking nonetheless.
"Hi! I'm Lika! I'll be your hostess for tonight, errrr- I mean, your...keeper or something."
Both Daisuke and Ken blinked at Lika and her strange appearance.
"Very strange place this is." Daisuke's eyes were still wide and staring at the puppy girl.
"Lika?"
"Yes?"
"Where are we exactly?"
***
Shiroi Takeru was still fast asleep leaving a certain darker half bored out of his mind. Feiya hadn't returned and
'I might as well check on my new slaves.' A grin appeared on Kuroi Takeru's lips as he headed down the long narrow hall that opened up to a much larger room. In one of the cells, Daisuke and Ken were chained up. Lika was starting to take away the trays the two had just finished eating from. Lika turned and spotted Kuroi Takeru.
"Master. I've fed the prisoners as you wished."
"Good. Go keep an eye on Shiroi Takeru."
"Yes, Master." Lika bowed and headed into the direction Kuroi Takeru had just come in from.
Kuroi Takeru turned to his slaves and two sets of eyes were on him. He grinned at the shocked expression on both the boys' faces.
"T-t-takeru?" Daisuke stuttered seeing his beloved right out of the cell. Tears started to run down his face seeing his love back to normal, well, so he thought.
Ken saw differently though. He felt the same vibe through this boy as he had when he was the Digimon Kaiser. It just wasn't the Takeru he remembered. This Takeru before them opened the look to the door and stepped in front of Daisuke with a faked smile. Daisuke couldn't tell through his tears, as all he wanted to do was embrace his lover.
Kuroi Takeru sat in front of Daisuke, wiping away a few tears. The smile grew into a smirk as he forced the brunette into a hard kiss. Daisuke's eyes widened and more tears slipped knowing this wasn't his Takeru. Kuroi Takeru pushed into the boy's mouth deeper, then parted leaving the crying brunette breathless and almost choking.
Ken tried to help his friend, but due to the chains, he could do nothing. Kuroi Takeru turned his attention to the other and smirked.
"You feel so helpless. You can't do anything." He punched Daisuke in the gut as the boy choked out. Ken winced from the sight of his friend in pain and glared at the Takeru present. "Incompetent fools. You don't deserve to live. Think of this as your lucky day."
Before he could continue with the torture, a voice came on the intercom informing the presence of a certain cat demon.
"She better have good news." Kuroi Takeru left the slaves.
Daisuke finally gained his breath back, but had to deal with the pain in his stomach. It was no ordinary punch. It was so much harder than that. It had sent a shock throughout his whole body.
"Daisuke, are you okay? Daisuke?!" Daisuke blanked out then leaving Ken's voice to echo throughout the quiet room and down the halls.
Into another room where another Takeru was sleeping peacefully. He started to stir, as two sleepy eyes opened. They weren't black any longer, but not exactly blue. Takeru still hadn't regain any happier memories. Just the sad, painful ones.
"Daisuke..." It was quiet and far away, but his still-demon ears picked up on the sound. He blinked curiously wondering where his Master had gotten to. He decided to leave, grabbing his navy blue cape. Walking down the hall with a yawn here and there, he made it to the prisoners' cells.
'I wonder who was yelling.' Shiroi Takeru pondered, but kept walking until he came to the two newest slaves. He looked at them, tilted his head, and began opening the door. Both Daisuke and Ken looked up at the same time to see Takeru...again. Daisuke tried to move away as Ken just glared.
"Haven't you done enough?!" Ken snapped at the Takeru present.
Takeru blinked confusion written in his face. "What do you mean?"
It was Ken's turned to blink not feeling the aura he had before. He looked at the boy and saw innocence. Shiroi Takeru glanced over at Daisuke and noticed him drawing back. He blinked and realized the pain written in the boy's face.
"Are you okay?" He asked the brunette. Daisuke didn't say a word.
"He was punched by that other...person." Ken answered for the goggle-headed boy. Shiroi Takeru looked over Daisuke and noticed a small red glow all over his body from the work of his Master.
Shiroi Takeru rubbed Daisuke's cheek with such comfort. Daisuke closed his eyes and leaned into the touch. He pulled back not realizing what had just happened. This wasn't his Takeru. He knew it, well, he thought he knew. He tried to back away, but yelped out in pain as the chains dug in deeper into his wrists that would leave bruises later. Shiroi Takeru's eyes opened wide as he noticed the restraints. He touched Daisuke's hand gently.
'How will these come off?' Takeru titled his head to the side wondering. He had no key and no tool to break the boy free. Takeru got frustrated, not being able to come up with anything. He closed his eyes, as some emotion built up in the pit of his stomach. Ken watched in amazement as a blue glow emitted from the blonde's hands and the chains were broken. Shiroi Takeru blinked in confusion, but smiled, glad the restraints were off. Daisuke rubbed his sore wrists and winced at the very touch. Shiroi Takeru reached out and held one wrist, making the brunette wince again, but kissed the purple skin. Chills went straight up the goggle-headed boy's spine from the contact.
Takeru smiled and looked over at Ken. He walked up and did the same to his chains, even though he had no idea how.
In another room, two sets of eyes were watching the blonde intently. They looked upon the small screen that showed everything occurring in the cells.
"Master! We have to punish the traitor!" Feiya hissed at Takeru on the screen.
"He is not a traitor. Just naïve."
Feiya hmphed and turned away. Kuroi Takeru kept his gaze on the screen and wondered why his counterpart was acting this way. "My Takeru... I mustn't lose you!" Master slammed his fist into the wall creating a giant crater in it.
A pair of childish lavender eyes watched their master intently. "Master... You can't keep Takeru forever. You underestimate him too much." With that, the owner of the eyes left humming a small tune and skipping lightly.
***
Shiroi Takeru's eyes went distant and far after a few moments. Daisuke and Ken were eating their nighttime meal. The brunette stopped, noticing the look in Takeru's eyes. Moments before this, the two prisoners had found out about Takeru's amnesia thing. They didn't believe it at first, but due to the fact that Takeru didn't even seem to remember them, they knew it was true. They heard of his master, which smacked right into Daisuke.
"Master kissed me before. I'm not sure...but I think I liked it." Were Shiroi Takeru's exact words. The blonde smiled at the other two, not noticing the hurt in the brunette's eyes from the information.
Ken finally calmed Daisuke down from breaking down completely and reminded him of Takeru's amnesia. Daisuke watched his koi, but he felt so far from him.
"Is something wrong, Takeru?" Daisuke asked.
Takeru snapped out of his trance from the moon seen through the window and smiled sweetly at the other two. "Nothing at all."
Daisuke returned the smile and continued to eat. Ken was silent still trying to figure everything out. He couldn't contact the others since all his belongings were taken away. 'How are we gonna get out of this mess now? We just can't walk out since there will definitely be a lot of guards and I'm positive Takeru is under his master's control.' Ken sighed in defeat and leaned back into the wall.
Soon Takeru fell asleep, head resting over Daisuke's lap. The brunette brushed his hand through the silky blonde hair and caressed the boy's soft skin. Daisuke's eyes made it to his lips and he sighed. He wanted those to be only his. He couldn't blame Takeru though. Brushing his lips gently on Takeru's forehead, Daisuke drifted to sleep.
Ken followed suit after seeing both boys asleep. He yawned and closed his eyes, but moments later, opened them again hearing a noise coming towards them.
***
"Feiya!!"
"Yes, Master?" Feiya slid across the room, stopping in front of her master bowing.
"I want you to go check on Shiroi Takeru."
"What do you mean, Master?"
"Check his Dark Runes to see if they are still in effect."
"Do you want me to also increase the spirit level?"
"No."
"But he will stay in that weak human form!"
Master turned to Feiya with a stoic expression. "For the better. He is gaining the trust back with those two prisoners. I can use that to my advantage." He grinned at the end. "Leave now."
"Yes, Master." Feiya bowed and headed out to the cells. 'Shiroi Takeru is always first. He is always the one Master thinks of. The only one Master sees!' Feiya's eyes narrowed in anger as she tightened her hands into fists. Blood formed, but she didn't care. 'I will kill him on my own. Then Master will see my true strength!'
The same child-like lavender eyes watched the cat demon. 'Her thoughts are full of hatred and jealousy. What a sad way to live? It is much better to smile. Sir Shiroi Takeru is in danger.' She vanished into that never ending darkness.

They didn't believe it at first, but due to the fact that Takeru didn't even seem to remember them, they knew it was true. They heard of his master, which smacked right into Daisuke.
"Master kissed me before. I'm not sure...but I think I liked it." Were Shiroi Takeru's exact words. The blonde smiled at the other two, not noticing the hurt in the brunette's eyes from the information.
Ken finally calmed Daisuke down from breaking down completely and reminded him of Takeru's amnesia. Daisuke watched his koi, but he felt so far from him.
"Is something wrong, Takeru?" Daisuke asked.
Takeru snapped out of his trance from the moon seen through the window and smiled sweetly at the other two. "Nothing at all."
Daisuke returned the smile and continued to eat. Ken was silent still trying to figure everything out. He couldn't contact the others since all his belongings were taken away. 'How are we gonna get out of this mess now? We just can't walk out since there will definitely be a lot of guards and I'm positive Takeru is under his master's control.' Ken sighed in defeat and leaned back into the wall.
Soon Takeru fell asleep, head resting over Daisuke's lap. The brunette brushed his hand through the silky blonde hair and caressed the boy's soft skin. Daisuke's eyes made it to his lips and he sighed. He wanted those to be only his. He couldn't blame Takeru though. Brushing his lips gently on Takeru's forehead, Daisuke drifted to sleep.
Ken followed suit after seeing both boys asleep. He yawned and closed his eyes, but moments later, opened them again hearing a noise coming towards them.

"Feiya!!"
"Yes, Master?" Feiya slid across the room, stopping in front of her master bowing.
"I want you to go check on Shiroi Takeru."
"What do you mean, Master?"
"Check his Dark Runes to see if they are still in effect."
"Do you want me to also increase the spirit level?"
"No."
"But he will stay in that weak human form!"
Master turned to Feiya with a stoic expression. "For the better. He is gaining the trust back with those two prisoners. I can use that to my advantage." He grinned at the end. "Leave now."
"Yes, Master." Feiya bowed and headed out to the cells. 'Shiroi Takeru is always first. He is always the one Master thinks of. The only one Master sees!' Feiya's eyes narrowed in anger as she tightened her hands into fists. Blood formed, but she didn't care. 'I will kill him on my own. Then Master will see my true strength!'
The same child-like lavender eyes watched the cat demon. 'Her thoughts are full of hatred and jealousy. What a sad way to live? It is much better to smile. Sir Shiroi Takeru is in danger.' She vanished into that never ending darkness.
