Dark was soaring through the sky, laughing giddily like a little child with the painting in his arms. He was free again! Sweet freedom! And it felt sOoOo good to steal an artwork and get away with it. He did a couple of loop-the-loops, flying in between buildings.
::So, you're the infamous Dark? Nice to finally meet you.::
Dark slowed his flying down a little when he finally heard his host speak.
"Yup, I'm Dark. So, you're Daisuke's boy? Wow...I never knew he'd go and get himself a WIFE..."
::...What's that supposed to mean? Well, he divorced with her anyhow. Dunno why.::
"Well, I think I know why. Hahahaha! Don't even know why he got married in the first place! Then again..probably HAD to so that he can carry on the legend of the great Phantom Thief...which is me, hohohoho!"
::WHAT are you talking about? What's so weird about Daisuke-san marrying Riku-san?::
"WOW! And of all the people, Riku! I thought he only liked her as a sister, and he loved Sa--"
Dark stopped. He was thinking. If Daisuke had a son...He must be pretty old now. Then shouldn't Satoshi be old as well? Or was the blue boy immortal?
'Blue boy wouldn't get MARRIED...to a GIRL...would he?' Dark thought to himself.
::Blue boy? You called Akira that, didn't you? That reminds me, why'd you call him Satoshi Hiwatari? That's his dad's old name.::
Dark almost dropped the painting in shock. WHAT? So the blue boy DID get married...and got himself a SON? Dark totally thought that Hiwatari was totally, solidly GAY...
::Well, Hiwatari ain't their last name anymore. It's Hikari now. Dunno why though, I think that Hiwatari suits them better--::
"So boy, that guy we met back at the museum wasn't Satoshi Hiwa--I mean--Hikari?"
::Nope. That was his son, Akira. And my name isn't BOY, it's Daichi.::
"Ah. I see."
Dark wanted to talk with Daisuke about this one-on-one, so he sped up to get home quickly. What happened between Satoshi and Daisuke that made them go their separate ways and get married? And Dark was also EXTREMELY curious to know who the lucky girl was that Satoshi liked enough to marry. Well, at least Daisuke had a son, so that he can come back again. Speaking of Daichi...
"Heh. Named after the old man, na? Wonder if he's still alive....' Dark thought to himself, amused.
::Hey, I didn't CHOOSE to be named after that old fart! So don't get your leather pants up your crack! He's dead, anyhow. He died sometime when I was born.:: Daichi spat out.
"Oh yes. I forgot you can hear my thoughts too. Hahaha! Old fart? I like that. You're pretty cool for Daisuke's kid."
Dark heard his host snort and mumble something he couldn't quite catch. He chuckled to himself and kept flying. Daichi was VERY different than his former host. His attitude was almost like his. Unlike Daichi, Daisuke was a pushover. Whenever they got into arguments of some sorts, Dark always won.
'Heheh. This'll be very interesting.'
From then on, they didn't talk during the trip back home, both lost in their own thoughts. And they would have remained that way, if it weren't for the girl. Rika Saehara was walking alone down the street, humming a little tune to herself. In her hands were grocery bags, and her red hair was swaying slightly with the wind. Dark just happened to spot her.
'Whoa, who's that chick? She's hot!!!' Dark thought as he let out a low whistle.
::Wha? Oh, that's Taku Saehara's sister. My mom's sister's daughter. And also my stupid little cousin. She's annoying.::
'Ah, Risa married that Saehara boy, na? She got over me, I see........WHOA....you guys are related too?! Twisteeed......you guys are connected through Riku and Risa, na?'
::Yep. Well, technically not anymore since Daisuke and Riku-san divorced, but yeah, we still consider eachother cousins.::
'Ah...I see. Anyhow, why's she annoying?'
::She...well...siigh....she beat me in soccer, and she won't let me forget it. Whatever she wins in, she never stops boasting. Then there's the one part where she says I'm her most favorite cousin, won't leave me alone at school! I try to walk around, she follows like my shadow. She ruins my image. I'm supposed to be the cool, popular guy, yet is a type of 'lone wolf.' I can't be a lone wolf with her around!::
Dark could almost feel Daichi glare in the direction of Rika. All of this was very amusing.
'Hahahaha!!! You worry about your image?!! Wow, you ARE like me. Well, then that means she's the athletic type, na? Just my type.'
Daichi mentally shook his head in disbelief. Dark seems to be a lady killer, eh? And he has his eyes on Rika, no less. It was kinda weird since Dark and he were almost the same person and all. Then again, they were two different souls, so Daichi decided he couldn't care less for who Dark liked.
They flew right above her now, trying to pass by quietly. Then again, the beating of wings aren't very silent. Rika looked up, and saw Dark flying over her.
They caught each other's eyes, and his breath was taken away. Dark quickly sped up more, trying to get away from the girl. He managed to lose sight of her, but each foot he flew, he felt himself changing...transforming...
All of a sudden, Daichi felt himself falling. He looked down at himself, and saw that he was wearing his usual outfit, not the leather outfit Dark sported. Above him, Wiz 'kyu-ed' frantically, trying to catch up [or down] to his rapidly falling master, but the weight of the painting in its mouth slowed it down. Dark has turned into Daichi once again, and now he was in danger of turning into a human pancake. [yes, I know that usually Daisuke keeps Dark's outfits when they transform, but this is my version, kaiz?!!! XD]
'DARK!!! Why'd you change back into me?!! It's not exactly perfect timing!!!' Daichi thought furiously at Dark, flailing his arms uselessly.
::Sorry, Daichi! I can't help it. I tranform back into you when I see--::
Dark was cut short when Daichi cried out in pain. He hit his leg on a fire escape railing. His eyes twitched in pain, but widened again when he saw how close to the ground they were. Daichi shut his eyes tightly, clamping his mouth shut to prevent himself from screaming. If he was going to die, he wasn't going to die screaming like a girl, oh no. He felt the ground get closer and closer, then--
POOF!
Daichi slowly opened his eyes and blinked. Eh, poof? When hurtling to the ground, it wasn't supposed to sound like 'Poof.' And was the ground really this soft...? Now that he looked up, he wasn't on the ground at all. He was in the arms of--
"HIKARI-KUN?" Daichi gasped in surprise.
Indeed, it was Akira Hikari. He seemed out of breath, as he gently put Daichi down. Daichi's heart beat faster than when he was falling down. He looked up for Wiz, but didn't see it anywhere. Which was a good thing, or else Akira would have seen....speaking of Akira...
"How'd you get to me so fast?" Daichi asked. Wasn't Akira all the way back at the museum?
"Hm? I was already running. I just came back from somewhere and I had to get home fast, until I saw you falling from the sky..."
Oh...that's bad. How much did he see? Did he see Wiz, or Dark transforming back into him...?
"You...saw me falling? Um....uh...thanks? Heheh...I woulda been a goner if you hadn't caught me..."
"...What were you doing in the sky, Niwa-kun? And how'd you get up there in the first place?" Akira asked suspiciously.
Oh...That's REAL bad.
"Um...uh...aha! Isn't it a beautiful night? I was just on the roof of that building right over there, and was stargazing when a sudden wind caught me and I flew off the roof!" Daichi said with a fake grin.
Akira just stared and blinked once, and then twice, which made Daichi very nervous.
"...I see. The roof is dangerous, Niwa-kun. Especially if the roof is in a triangle shape."
"Oh....yeah, eheheh...I'll be more careful next time?"
".........Yes, well, can you walk? That looks pretty bad. How'd you get it?" Akira said, pointing at Daichi's leg.
Daichi looked down, now noticing his leg. Blood was seeping through his pants, and now that his attention was on his leg, he felt it throb madly. He lifted up his pants, and saw that there was a big purple-greenish bruise forming on one side of his leg, and bleeding heavily from a deep gash on the other side.
Daichi's eyes widened at the sight. He didn't think the hit was THAT serious!
"Er....of course I can walk! I'm not that weak...heheh...I got this when I was falling down...."
Akira just nodded silently, and crouched next to Daichi. Daichi turned to look at him, but quickly looked down. Akira just continued to silently stare at him. Why wasn't he saying anything? Daichi knew that Akira didn't believe a single word he said [he could tell by the look on his face], yet he wasn't asking anymore questions. He's had to have noticed by now that there was no possible way for Daichi to get on top of the roof, as there was no ladder or anything to lead up to it.
Daichi took in a deep breath. He hated awkward silences. He braced himself, and tried to get to a standing position, but was back on the ground again. He cursed at himself, grabbing his legs in pain. This was not good. He looked up at Akira, with a 'I'm-gonna-be-fine-just-go-on-without-me' look. Akira watched Daichi's pathetic struggles, and started getting up.
"Er...Hikari-kun? What are you--"
Daichi's face started to burn up as Akira was starting to wrap his arms around his waist and under his leg, lifting him up off the ground and carrying him.
"You need that leg taken care of, Niwa-kun. Hold on to me a bit, so you won't fall."
"But...I...I can walk myself! I'm too heavy, It's not that big of a deal....--"
Akira started walking to Daichi's surprise, and he quickly wrapped his arms around Akira at the movement. He almost slapped himself at what he just did. WHAT was he doing? He could have just grabbed the front of Akira's shirt, or something else, but wrapping his whole arms around him? Daichi must have turned insane. He thought of letting go so as not to make Akira feel uncomfortable, but he felt him tightening his grip on Daichi, protectively.
Usually, Daichi hated being helped out by other people. He even hated the fact that someone would try and help him pick up a pencil, since all his life he's been trained to get things done by himself and he's grown quite used to it. But Akira was different, Daichi didn't mind that Akira was helping him at all, let alone CARRYING him. Why was that?
He looked up at Akira's face, finding that he was already looking at him. Their eyes met, and both turned away quickly, blushing furiously. Whoa, Daichi blushing? Akira too?
::Man....this scene is so sweet, it's giving me cavities.:: Dark said with a hearty laugh.
'Then let me pull the frikkin' tooth out fer yuh. And what's that comment supposed to mean?!'
::That comment meant, you two totally has the hots for eachother! It's SO obvious! HAHAHA!!!::
'Grr, WHAT? I just think he's cool, that's all! I'm not gay or anything, no way! Just...I dunno....I don't have any other choice anyways! How else would I get home? I can't exactly walk.'
::Hmm...well, if YOU don't have the hots for him, I think he does for you cuz I don't think you'll be going home anytime soon. Look! He's taking you to his house! I'd recognize that overgrown dentist office anyday!::
'WHA--??!!'
Daichi looked ahead, and sure enough, they were in front of a white house. A very big white house, at that. It looked like a mini mansion, or perhaps it WAS a mansion. He kept staring at the massive house, until Akira shifted his body so that he can open the door with his left hand.
"Ah...Akira?! You're taking me to your house?!!"
"Well, yes...Daichi. Your leg looks like it's in a real bad shape, and since my house is closest, you can treat it faster. My father is out, and I don't think he'll be back anytime soon. I saw him head towards the park." Akira said coolly.
Daichi just realized that Akira called him by his first name. But then again, HE called HIM by his first name first. Daichi mentally slapped himself. He barly even knew the guy, and he went and called him by his first name without an honorific as if he knew him very well.
Akira pushed open his door, and carried Daichi inside with him, shutting the door behind him and locking it. He continued to carry Daichi through the huge house, taking Daichi upstairs and into a bedroom, which Daichi guessed was Akira's. Once inside, he gently set Daichi on his bed.
"Oh, you shouldn't put me here! What if I bleed on your blankets..?" Daichi said worriedly as he tried to avoid putting his leg on the bed.
"Don't worry," Akira said as he gently pushed Daichi's leg on the bed. "Don't move, I'll call your parents to tell them where you are and bring the first aid kit."
With that, he quietly walked out of the room, leaving Daichi alone. Daichi sighed. He supposed Akira knew his phone number because of his father knowing HIS father. He looked around the room. If you had to describe the room with just one word, it would have been CLEAN. Two words? VERY clean.
::My, he 'decorates' his room just like his father.:: Dark said amusedly.
'Haha, I feel like I'm in a hospital. I hope Wiz delivered the painting to Daisuke-san safely.'
::Oh, don't worry. Wiz is pretty smart. And by the way, why do you call Dai-chan Daisuke-san? Why don't you call him 'father'? Or maybe 'dad', or even 'daddy'?::
'Well....sometimes I call him pops?' Daichi thought as he shifted in the bed.
::That didn't answer my question, kid.::
Daichi really didn't like it when people nosed in on his buisness. How the hell can one conversation change subjects so fast anyhow? But he supposed that not telling dark would be far worse, since it seemed that Dark was going to be stuck with him for a LONG time.
'...All right, you nosy bastard. I'm just mad at him for divorcing with Riku-san. What was wrong with her? Was she not good enough for him? She's the best mother if I ever knew one, and he went and got a divorce with her. What's up with that? I could tell mom still loves him, but he can't return it for some reason. So, this is my way of rebellion. If I can't call Riku-san 'mom', then I won't call Daisuke-san 'dad'.' Daichi said coolly, as if it was no big deal. His heart said differently.
Dark was silent for a moment. He could feel Daichi's anger through him. It must have been hard for him, having his father divorce with a good wife when he saw nothing wrong with her. Dark thought of telling Daichi right there that Daisuke divorced because he was in love with someone else, but...
::...The reason is way beyond your years kid. You wouldn't understand.::
'What would I not understand? I'm 14 now, damn it! Just try me.'
::Well, aren't you cocky? Well, the thing that broke your parents apart, was love. Your father was in love with someone else.::
'Psh......you call that way beyond my years? I just think that was corny. I understood perfectly. Even a 5 year old would....so, you know who the woman is? You seem to know her.'
::That's the thing, Daichi. Your father ain't in love with a woman.::
'..................................................'
.::........Daichi?::
'.....Don't tell me he's gay....'
::He's gay.::
'Didn't I just tell you not to tell me?'
::How else will you know?::
'....Oh god, WHAT? Daisuke....divorced with Riku-san cuz of a MAN?!! WHAT?!! Is he STUPID? Hey, if Daisuke ever DOES get together with...whoever, I'm SO gonna get a smack down from the kids at school, I'll never hear the end of it!'
::See? Exactly. you don't understand, Daichi.::
'What don't I understand?!!! He went and divorced with Riku-san! For a guy! What good is that?!! He'll never be accepted!'
::You. Don't. Understand. You don't understand anything about LOVE. He divorced with Riku-chan, because he's in LOVE with someone ELSE. He didn't want Riku-san to be living a lie! What, what's so wrong about being gay, hm? Your such a hypocrite, seeing as you are all over Akira.::
'........I'm...NOT...all over Akira! Can you quite with that already?!!'
::Hahaha, gave up on Dai-chan's part and your now focusing on Akira's cuz you know you lost the arguement there, na?::
'Grrr..........I hate you.'
::Yup. Don't worry, you'll grow to love me. Anyhow, how can you say you're not all over Akira, anyhow? Bastard. Hohohoho!::
Daichi was about to argue some more, but he stopped himself. He knew this arguement was going nowhere, and there really was no point in continuing it since it may go on forever, what with Dark being stuck in his mind and all. And he really was on a lose-lose battle...because Daichi had to admit about the Akira deal, that little...'incident' in the classroom when they first met...
'....Maybe...you're right. But I don't know why....It's just...I can't help myself. Akira just draws me in somehow....' Daichi thought uncomfortably, scratching his head a bit.
::Well, that's love for yuh. And that means, you should really be more easy on Dai-chan. You two now have a thing in common, na? You should understand what he's going through now.::
'....................'
::..Daichi?::
'......Hey, who says I'm fully gay? I'm still totally all over Kyouko Hayase in 5th period! She's so hott! She's my kind of gal! See? Maybe I'm bi, you'll never know!'
Dark would have fell face first into the floor with a sweat drop, anime-style, if he had his own body right then.
::Ok....so the kid is ALOT more like me than I thought..:: Dark thought to himself.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
".....And so it begins...."
Daisuke had just hung up with Akira on the phone, and was now walking towards the living room. He sighed once again, for about the 500th time that day. Water droplets started hitting the window, a little at first, then into a full downpour.
'Guess it's raining tonight...stupid weatherman, he said it will be a clear night.' Daisuke thought with a grimace. He didn't like rain much, it made him gloomy.
He walked over to where Wiz sat [Wiz is back to normal now ], seeing that it was worrying about where it's master was at and if he was ok.
Daisuke petted Wiz's head reassuringly even though he himself didn't know if Daisuke was really safe with a Hikari, no matter how many times Satoshi said that he quite with the Phantom Thief buisness to him. Daisuke knew that Krad was sure to be in Akira's body, just that he may not have awakened yet.
"..Daisuke?"
He turned around at the voice, and it turned out to be Riku. She looked at him worriedly, almost the exact same expression as With's. Daisuke knew why she looked so worried. He smiled and walked over to her, putting his arms around her in a tight hug.
"Don't worry, Riku. Daichi is fine, I'm sure of it. Akira won't try anything, since he doesn't know anything about Dark or Krad. Satoshi told me that he never told him about the legend."
After that, Riku relaxed a little under Daisuke's arms. She returned the hug gently, then they pulled away.
"Ok...if you say so, Daisuke. Speaking of Satoshi, have you talked with him recently? I haven't seen him in ages. You should try inviting him over for dinner sometimes."
"Uh....oh, yeah, I chat with him at work. Ah, about the dinner thing...uh....I'll er...try asking him later, ok?"
"Hai. Daisuke, are you sick? You look red."
Daisuke looked startled for a moment, putting his hands on his cheeks. "Uh...no, I'm fine. I....I'm gonna go take a walk, ok?" He said as he started walking very fast towards the door.
Riku stared after him, kind of stunned for a moment at his sudden outburst to take a walk. In the rain.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Daisuke ran out into the streets, running to...who knows where. He just wanted to run, his heart beating painfully. The rain kept splashing down on him, making him soaked to the skin already. Frankly, Daisuke wouldn't have cared if Niagra Falls was pouring down on him at the moment.
He finally came to a stop, out of breath. He looked up, and saw that he was at the park. Daisuke started walking towards the center of the park. The Special Place. Daisuke's heart did another painful jump.
The Special Place was a very beautiful fountain in the middle of the park, the place where Daisuke and Satoshi used to hang out all the time in their teen years, from 16 to 19 years old. That was, until Satoshi got married when he turned 24. Daisuke was heartbroken then, but he decided to try and move on, so he married Riku. It got awkward to be around eachother, so they stopped talking and hanging out together.
Then 6 years ago, Satoshi got a divorce with Nozomi for some unknown reason. This made Daisuke's hope live again. Because of this little hope eating at his heart, he couldn't stand staying married with Riku, so he divorced with her a year after Satoshi divorced with Nozomi. After that, Daisuke quit his old job and moved into the work that Satoshi was in, just to be around him. He met Satoshi again like he was a new person.
Satoshi was alot more outgoing, because right when Daisuke walked in, he was chatting happily away with some other co-workers. He was even smiling, which made Daisuke smile also. They became fast friends again, and ever since then they have been talking with eachother occasionally.
[i bet people are wondering exactly how old Satoshi and Daisuke is right now ; you can see at the end of this fanfic XD;; oh, they are not as old or as young as you think ]
Daisuke couldn't help it. after all his hard work to stay and be near Satoshi, they were still at square one. They'll never be more than just friends. If he couldn't even bring enough courage to ask Satoshi to dinner at his house, how can they get any closer?
He was starting to get cold, but Daisuke didn't care. Water dripped down his face along with his tears, which couldn't be seen because of the rain. He finally reached the fountain, now fully lit because it was night time. It was very beautiful especially since the rain water seemed to reflect the lights, to make it shine even more. Daisuke stood there, staring at the beautiful fountain he hasn't visited for 14 years.
Daisuke would have stood there all night, if it didn't suddenly stop raining. Surprised, he felt no more rain falling down on him even though he saw that it was still raining. Daisuke looked up, and saw that there was a grey umbrella over him. He turned around, and saw none other than Satoshi there.
Daisuke gaped. What was Satoshi doing here?!! He turned around, blushing because he was crying. Then Daisuke remembered that it was raining, so Satoshi wouldn't have been able to tell if he had tears on his face or not. Even so, his red eyes would have given it away, so he stayed with his back turned towards Satoshi.
"...Er...Hikari-san, what are you doing here?"
"I usually walk down this way to my house, Niwa-san. I should be the one asking, what are you doing here?"
Daisuke turned to face the Hikari. Satoshi walks down this way to his house, out of all the roads to take? This way was certainly no shortcut to Satoshi's house, the longest road to his house, in fact. Why would he walk this way? Daisuke's heart started racing again. Did Satoshi come this way because of the fountain? He wasn't sure, so he decided that he wouldn't get his hopes up just yet.
"Well....I just decided to visit this fountain. I haven't been here in ages..."
"....I know."
Daisuke turned to face Satoshi curiously. He knows? And was that sadness in Satoshi's voice, or was it just him? Did he know that he hasn't visited this fountain in years because Satoshi came here waiting for him? Daisuke couldn't take it. Him and his false hopes. But Daisuke still had plenty of it, and Daisuke was getting tired of it. Why hope for something, and never know if it's true or not? It was time to take chances, 18 years of waiting and wondering was too long.
"...Hikari-san.........ever since we were 14...I...er...that is...."
"...Yes, Niwa-san?"
"...Please, call me Daisuke. Like how you used to when we were 18...."
Satoshi's face turned a little red, but it could have just been Daisuke's imagination.
"Er....ok...Daisuke. So...what were you trying to say...?"
".......Hikari-kun...I.........," Daisuke sighed, and braced himself, putting on a determined face. There was no turning back. "Hikari-kun, I love you."
Daisuke closed his eyes, his heart racing and beating so fast it hurt, not wanting to see Satoshi's face expression just yet. What if Satoshi looked disgusted? Or mad? Or.....
His thoughts were cut short when he felt his chin being lifted up. Daisuke slowly opened his eyes, and saw Satoshi staring down at him, their faces very close. Daisuke blushed furiously at the distance, and blushed more when Satoshi started stroking his cheek.
"...You love me, Daisuke?"
"...H....Hai....Hikari-kun..."
Satoshi smiled, that beautiful smile, and gently kissed Daisuke. Daisuke's heart did a record jump. Satoshi...was...kissing...HIM! He felt like doing somersaults, but Satoshi's warm lips made him stay on the spot, not wanting to move. Slowly, they pulled away, breathless.
"Daisuke....call me Satoshi."
They stood alone together in the rain, holding eachother. Umbrella completely forgotten.

Dark was soaring through the sky, laughing giddily like a little child with the painting in his arms. He was free again! Sweet freedom! And it felt sOoOo good to steal an artwork and get away with it. He did a couple of loop-the-loops, flying in between buildings.
::So, you're the infamous Dark? Nice to finally meet you.::
Dark slowed his flying down a little when he finally heard his host speak.
"Yup, I'm Dark. So, you're Daisuke's boy? Wow...I never knew he'd go and get himself a WIFE..."
::...What's that supposed to mean? Well, he divorced with her anyhow. Dunno why.::
"Well, I think I know why. Hahahaha! Don't even know why he got married in the first place! Then again..probably HAD to so that he can carry on the legend of the great Phantom Thief...which is me, hohohoho!"
::WHAT are you talking about? What's so weird about Daisuke-san marrying Riku-san?::
"WOW! And of all the people, Riku! I thought he only liked her as a sister, and he loved Sa--"
Dark stopped. He was thinking. If Daisuke had a son...He must be pretty old now. Then shouldn't Satoshi be old as well? Or was the blue boy immortal?
'Blue boy wouldn't get MARRIED...to a GIRL...would he?' Dark thought to himself.
::Blue boy? You called Akira that, didn't you? That reminds me, why'd you call him Satoshi Hiwatari? That's his dad's old name.::
Dark almost dropped the painting in shock. WHAT? So the blue boy DID get married...and got himself a SON? Dark totally thought that Hiwatari was totally, solidly GAY...
::Well, Hiwatari ain't their last name anymore. It's Hikari now. Dunno why though, I think that Hiwatari suits them better--::
"So boy, that guy we met back at the museum wasn't Satoshi Hiwa--I mean--Hikari?"
::Nope. That was his son, Akira. And my name isn't BOY, it's Daichi.::
"Ah. I see."
Dark wanted to talk with Daisuke about this one-on-one, so he sped up to get home quickly. What happened between Satoshi and Daisuke that made them go their separate ways and get married? And Dark was also EXTREMELY curious to know who the lucky girl was that Satoshi liked enough to marry. Well, at least Daisuke had a son, so that he can come back again. Speaking of Daichi...
"Heh. Named after the old man, na? Wonder if he's still alive....' Dark thought to himself, amused.
::Hey, I didn't CHOOSE to be named after that old fart! So don't get your leather pants up your crack! He's dead, anyhow. He died sometime when I was born.:: Daichi spat out.
"Oh yes. I forgot you can hear my thoughts too. Hahaha! Old fart? I like that. You're pretty cool for Daisuke's kid."
Dark heard his host snort and mumble something he couldn't quite catch. He chuckled to himself and kept flying. Daichi was VERY different than his former host. His attitude was almost like his. Unlike Daichi, Daisuke was a pushover. Whenever they got into arguments of some sorts, Dark always won.
'Heheh. This'll be very interesting.'
From then on, they didn't talk during the trip back home, both lost in their own thoughts. And they would have remained that way, if it weren't for the girl. Rika Saehara was walking alone down the street, humming a little tune to herself. In her hands were grocery bags, and her red hair was swaying slightly with the wind. Dark just happened to spot her.
'Whoa, who's that chick? She's hot!!!' Dark thought as he let out a low whistle.
::Wha? Oh, that's Taku Saehara's sister. My mom's sister's daughter. And also my stupid little cousin. She's annoying.::
'Ah, Risa married that Saehara boy, na? She got over me, I see........WHOA....you guys are related too?! Twisteeed......you guys are connected through Riku and Risa, na?'
::Yep. Well, technically not anymore since Daisuke and Riku-san divorced, but yeah, we still consider eachother cousins.::
'Ah...I see. Anyhow, why's she annoying?'
::She...well...siigh....she beat me in soccer, and she won't let me forget it. Whatever she wins in, she never stops boasting. Then there's the one part where she says I'm her most favorite cousin, won't leave me alone at school! I try to walk around, she follows like my shadow. She ruins my image. I'm supposed to be the cool, popular guy, yet is a type of 'lone wolf.' I can't be a lone wolf with her around!::
Dark could almost feel Daichi glare in the direction of Rika. All of this was very amusing.
'Hahahaha!!! You worry about your image?!! Wow, you ARE like me. Well, then that means she's the athletic type, na? Just my type.'
Daichi mentally shook his head in disbelief. Dark seems to be a lady killer, eh? And he has his eyes on Rika, no less. It was kinda weird since Dark and he were almost the same person and all. Then again, they were two different souls, so Daichi decided he couldn't care less for who Dark liked.
They flew right above her now, trying to pass by quietly. Then again, the beating of wings aren't very silent. Rika looked up, and saw Dark flying over her.
They caught each other's eyes, and his breath was taken away. Dark quickly sped up more, trying to get away from the girl. He managed to lose sight of her, but each foot he flew, he felt himself changing...transforming...
All of a sudden, Daichi felt himself falling. He looked down at himself, and saw that he was wearing his usual outfit, not the leather outfit Dark sported. Above him, Wiz 'kyu-ed' frantically, trying to catch up [or down] to his rapidly falling master, but the weight of the painting in its mouth slowed it down. Dark has turned into Daichi once again, and now he was in danger of turning into a human pancake. [yes, I know that usually Daisuke keeps Dark's outfits when they transform, but this is my version, kaiz?!!! XD]
'DARK!!! Why'd you change back into me?!! It's not exactly perfect timing!!!' Daichi thought furiously at Dark, flailing his arms uselessly.
::Sorry, Daichi! I can't help it. I tranform back into you when I see--::
Dark was cut short when Daichi cried out in pain. He hit his leg on a fire escape railing. His eyes twitched in pain, but widened again when he saw how close to the ground they were. Daichi shut his eyes tightly, clamping his mouth shut to prevent himself from screaming. If he was going to die, he wasn't going to die screaming like a girl, oh no. He felt the ground get closer and closer, then--
POOF!
Daichi slowly opened his eyes and blinked. Eh, poof? When hurtling to the ground, it wasn't supposed to sound like 'Poof.' And was the ground really this soft...? Now that he looked up, he wasn't on the ground at all. He was in the arms of--
"HIKARI-KUN?" Daichi gasped in surprise.
Indeed, it was Akira Hikari. He seemed out of breath, as he gently put Daichi down. Daichi's heart beat faster than when he was falling down. He looked up for Wiz, but didn't see it anywhere. Which was a good thing, or else Akira would have seen....speaking of Akira...
"How'd you get to me so fast?" Daichi asked. Wasn't Akira all the way back at the museum?
"Hm? I was already running. I just came back from somewhere and I had to get home fast, until I saw you falling from the sky..."
Oh...that's bad. How much did he see? Did he see Wiz, or Dark transforming back into him...?
"You...saw me falling? Um....uh...thanks? Heheh...I woulda been a goner if you hadn't caught me..."
"...What were you doing in the sky, Niwa-kun? And how'd you get up there in the first place?" Akira asked suspiciously.
Oh...That's REAL bad.
"Um...uh...aha! Isn't it a beautiful night? I was just on the roof of that building right over there, and was stargazing when a sudden wind caught me and I flew off the roof!" Daichi said with a fake grin.
Akira just stared and blinked once, and then twice, which made Daichi very nervous.
"...I see. The roof is dangerous, Niwa-kun. Especially if the roof is in a triangle shape."
"Oh....yeah, eheheh...I'll be more careful next time?"
".........Yes, well, can you walk? That looks pretty bad. How'd you get it?" Akira said, pointing at Daichi's leg.
Daichi looked down, now noticing his leg. Blood was seeping through his pants, and now that his attention was on his leg, he felt it throb madly. He lifted up his pants, and saw that there was a big purple-greenish bruise forming on one side of his leg, and bleeding heavily from a deep gash on the other side.
Daichi's eyes widened at the sight. He didn't think the hit was THAT serious!
"Er....of course I can walk! I'm not that weak...heheh...I got this when I was falling down...."
Akira just nodded silently, and crouched next to Daichi. Daichi turned to look at him, but quickly looked down. Akira just continued to silently stare at him. Why wasn't he saying anything? Daichi knew that Akira didn't believe a single word he said [he could tell by the look on his face], yet he wasn't asking anymore questions. He's had to have noticed by now that there was no possible way for Daichi to get on top of the roof, as there was no ladder or anything to lead up to it.
Daichi took in a deep breath. He hated awkward silences. He braced himself, and tried to get to a standing position, but was back on the ground again. He cursed at himself, grabbing his legs in pain. This was not good. He looked up at Akira, with a 'I'm-gonna-be-fine-just-go-on-without-me' look. Akira watched Daichi's pathetic struggles, and started getting up.
"Er...Hikari-kun? What are you--"
Daichi's face started to burn up as Akira was starting to wrap his arms around his waist and under his leg, lifting him up off the ground and carrying him.
"You need that leg taken care of, Niwa-kun. Hold on to me a bit, so you won't fall."
"But...I...I can walk myself! I'm too heavy, It's not that big of a deal....--"
Akira started walking to Daichi's surprise, and he quickly wrapped his arms around Akira at the movement. He almost slapped himself at what he just did. WHAT was he doing? He could have just grabbed the front of Akira's shirt, or something else, but wrapping his whole arms around him? Daichi must have turned insane. He thought of letting go so as not to make Akira feel uncomfortable, but he felt him tightening his grip on Daichi, protectively.
Usually, Daichi hated being helped out by other people. He even hated the fact that someone would try and help him pick up a pencil, since all his life he's been trained to get things done by himself and he's grown quite used to it. But Akira was different, Daichi didn't mind that Akira was helping him at all, let alone CARRYING him. Why was that?
He looked up at Akira's face, finding that he was already looking at him. Their eyes met, and both turned away quickly, blushing furiously. Whoa, Daichi blushing? Akira too?
::Man....this scene is so sweet, it's giving me cavities.:: Dark said with a hearty laugh.
'Then let me pull the frikkin' tooth out fer yuh. And what's that comment supposed to mean?!'
::That comment meant, you two totally has the hots for eachother! It's SO obvious! HAHAHA!!!::
'Grr, WHAT? I just think he's cool, that's all! I'm not gay or anything, no way! Just...I dunno....I don't have any other choice anyways! How else would I get home? I can't exactly walk.'
::Hmm...well, if YOU don't have the hots for him, I think he does for you cuz I don't think you'll be going home anytime soon. Look! He's taking you to his house! I'd recognize that overgrown dentist office anyday!::
'WHA--??!!'
Daichi looked ahead, and sure enough, they were in front of a white house. A very big white house, at that. It looked like a mini mansion, or perhaps it WAS a mansion. He kept staring at the massive house, until Akira shifted his body so that he can open the door with his left hand.
"Ah...Akira?! You're taking me to your house?!!"
"Well, yes...Daichi. Your leg looks like it's in a real bad shape, and since my house is closest, you can treat it faster. My father is out, and I don't think he'll be back anytime soon. I saw him head towards the park." Akira said coolly.
Daichi just realized that Akira called him by his first name. But then again, HE called HIM by his first name first. Daichi mentally slapped himself. He barly even knew the guy, and he went and called him by his first name without an honorific as if he knew him very well.
Akira pushed open his door, and carried Daichi inside with him, shutting the door behind him and locking it. He continued to carry Daichi through the huge house, taking Daichi upstairs and into a bedroom, which Daichi guessed was Akira's. Once inside, he gently set Daichi on his bed.
"Oh, you shouldn't put me here! What if I bleed on your blankets..?" Daichi said worriedly as he tried to avoid putting his leg on the bed.
"Don't worry," Akira said as he gently pushed Daichi's leg on the bed. "Don't move, I'll call your parents to tell them where you are and bring the first aid kit."
With that, he quietly walked out of the room, leaving Daichi alone. Daichi sighed. He supposed Akira knew his phone number because of his father knowing HIS father. He looked around the room. If you had to describe the room with just one word, it would have been CLEAN. Two words? VERY clean.
::My, he 'decorates' his room just like his father.:: Dark said amusedly.
'Haha, I feel like I'm in a hospital. I hope Wiz delivered the painting to Daisuke-san safely.'
::Oh, don't worry. Wiz is pretty smart. And by the way, why do you call Dai-chan Daisuke-san? Why don't you call him 'father'? Or maybe 'dad', or even 'daddy'?::
'Well....sometimes I call him pops?' Daichi thought as he shifted in the bed.
::That didn't answer my question, kid.::
Daichi really didn't like it when people nosed in on his buisness. How the hell can one conversation change subjects so fast anyhow? But he supposed that not telling dark would be far worse, since it seemed that Dark was going to be stuck with him for a LONG time.
'...All right, you nosy bastard. I'm just mad at him for divorcing with Riku-san. What was wrong with her? Was she not good enough for him? She's the best mother if I ever knew one, and he went and got a divorce with her. What's up with that? I could tell mom still loves him, but he can't return it for some reason. So, this is my way of rebellion. If I can't call Riku-san 'mom', then I won't call Daisuke-san 'dad'.' Daichi said coolly, as if it was no big deal. His heart said differently.
Dark was silent for a moment. He could feel Daichi's anger through him. It must have been hard for him, having his father divorce with a good wife when he saw nothing wrong with her. Dark thought of telling Daichi right there that Daisuke divorced because he was in love with someone else, but...
::...The reason is way beyond your years kid. You wouldn't understand.::
'What would I not understand? I'm 14 now, damn it! Just try me.'
::Well, aren't you cocky? Well, the thing that broke your parents apart, was love. Your father was in love with someone else.::
'Psh......you call that way beyond my years? I just think that was corny. I understood perfectly. Even a 5 year old would....so, you know who the woman is? You seem to know her.'
::That's the thing, Daichi. Your father ain't in love with a woman.::
'..................................................'
.::........Daichi?::
'.....Don't tell me he's gay....'
::He's gay.::
'Didn't I just tell you not to tell me?'
::How else will you know?::
'....Oh god, WHAT? Daisuke....divorced with Riku-san cuz of a MAN?!! WHAT?!! Is he STUPID? Hey, if Daisuke ever DOES get together with...whoever, I'm SO gonna get a smack down from the kids at school, I'll never hear the end of it!'
::See? Exactly. you don't understand, Daichi.::
'What don't I understand?!!! He went and divorced with Riku-san! For a guy! What good is that?!! He'll never be accepted!'
::You. Don't. Understand. You don't understand anything about LOVE. He divorced with Riku-chan, because he's in LOVE with someone ELSE. He didn't want Riku-san to be living a lie! What, what's so wrong about being gay, hm? Your such a hypocrite, seeing as you are all over Akira.::
'........I'm...NOT...all over Akira! Can you quite with that already?!!'
::Hahaha, gave up on Dai-chan's part and your now focusing on Akira's cuz you know you lost the arguement there, na?::
'Grrr..........I hate you.'
::Yup. Don't worry, you'll grow to love me. Anyhow, how can you say you're not all over Akira, anyhow? Bastard. Hohohoho!::
Daichi was about to argue some more, but he stopped himself. He knew this arguement was going nowhere, and there really was no point in continuing it since it may go on forever, what with Dark being stuck in his mind and all. And he really was on a lose-lose battle...because Daichi had to admit about the Akira deal, that little...'incident' in the classroom when they first met...
'....Maybe...you're right. But I don't know why....It's just...I can't help myself. Akira just draws me in somehow....' Daichi thought uncomfortably, scratching his head a bit.
::Well, that's love for yuh. And that means, you should really be more easy on Dai-chan. You two now have a thing in common, na? You should understand what he's going through now.::
'....................'
::..Daichi?::
'......Hey, who says I'm fully gay? I'm still totally all over Kyouko Hayase in 5th period! She's so hott! She's my kind of gal! See? Maybe I'm bi, you'll never know!'
Dark would have fell face first into the floor with a sweat drop, anime-style, if he had his own body right then.
::Ok....so the kid is ALOT more like me than I thought..:: Dark thought to himself.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
".....And so it begins...."
Daisuke had just hung up with Akira on the phone, and was now walking towards the living room. He sighed once again, for about the 500th time that day. Water droplets started hitting the window, a little at first, then into a full downpour.
'Guess it's raining tonight...stupid weatherman, he said it will be a clear night.' Daisuke thought with a grimace. He didn't like rain much, it made him gloomy.
He walked over to where Wiz sat [Wiz is back to normal now ], seeing that it was worrying about where it's master was at and if he was ok.
Daisuke petted Wiz's head reassuringly even though he himself didn't know if Daisuke was really safe with a Hikari, no matter how many times Satoshi said that he quite with the Phantom Thief buisness to him. Daisuke knew that Krad was sure to be in Akira's body, just that he may not have awakened yet.
"..Daisuke?"
He turned around at the voice, and it turned out to be Riku. She looked at him worriedly, almost the exact same expression as With's. Daisuke knew why she looked so worried. He smiled and walked over to her, putting his arms around her in a tight hug.
"Don't worry, Riku. Daichi is fine, I'm sure of it. Akira won't try anything, since he doesn't know anything about Dark or Krad. Satoshi told me that he never told him about the legend."
After that, Riku relaxed a little under Daisuke's arms. She returned the hug gently, then they pulled away.
"Ok...if you say so, Daisuke. Speaking of Satoshi, have you talked with him recently? I haven't seen him in ages. You should try inviting him over for dinner sometimes."
"Uh....oh, yeah, I chat with him at work. Ah, about the dinner thing...uh....I'll er...try asking him later, ok?"
"Hai. Daisuke, are you sick? You look red."
Daisuke looked startled for a moment, putting his hands on his cheeks. "Uh...no, I'm fine. I....I'm gonna go take a walk, ok?" He said as he started walking very fast towards the door.
Riku stared after him, kind of stunned for a moment at his sudden outburst to take a walk. In the rain.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Daisuke ran out into the streets, running to...who knows where. He just wanted to run, his heart beating painfully. The rain kept splashing down on him, making him soaked to the skin already. Frankly, Daisuke wouldn't have cared if Niagra Falls was pouring down on him at the moment.
He finally came to a stop, out of breath. He looked up, and saw that he was at the park. Daisuke started walking towards the center of the park. The Special Place. Daisuke's heart did another painful jump.
The Special Place was a very beautiful fountain in the middle of the park, the place where Daisuke and Satoshi used to hang out all the time in their teen years, from 16 to 19 years old. That was, until Satoshi got married when he turned 24. Daisuke was heartbroken then, but he decided to try and move on, so he married Riku. It got awkward to be around eachother, so they stopped talking and hanging out together.
Then 6 years ago, Satoshi got a divorce with Nozomi for some unknown reason. This made Daisuke's hope live again. Because of this little hope eating at his heart, he couldn't stand staying married with Riku, so he divorced with her a year after Satoshi divorced with Nozomi. After that, Daisuke quit his old job and moved into the work that Satoshi was in, just to be around him. He met Satoshi again like he was a new person.
Satoshi was alot more outgoing, because right when Daisuke walked in, he was chatting happily away with some other co-workers. He was even smiling, which made Daisuke smile also. They became fast friends again, and ever since then they have been talking with eachother occasionally.
[i bet people are wondering exactly how old Satoshi and Daisuke is right now ; you can see at the end of this fanfic XD;; oh, they are not as old or as young as you think ]
Daisuke couldn't help it. after all his hard work to stay and be near Satoshi, they were still at square one. They'll never be more than just friends. If he couldn't even bring enough courage to ask Satoshi to dinner at his house, how can they get any closer?
He was starting to get cold, but Daisuke didn't care. Water dripped down his face along with his tears, which couldn't be seen because of the rain. He finally reached the fountain, now fully lit because it was night time. It was very beautiful especially since the rain water seemed to reflect the lights, to make it shine even more. Daisuke stood there, staring at the beautiful fountain he hasn't visited for 14 years.
Daisuke would have stood there all night, if it didn't suddenly stop raining. Surprised, he felt no more rain falling down on him even though he saw that it was still raining. Daisuke looked up, and saw that there was a grey umbrella over him. He turned around, and saw none other than Satoshi there.
Daisuke gaped. What was Satoshi doing here?!! He turned around, blushing because he was crying. Then Daisuke remembered that it was raining, so Satoshi wouldn't have been able to tell if he had tears on his face or not. Even so, his red eyes would have given it away, so he stayed with his back turned towards Satoshi.
"...Er...Hikari-san, what are you doing here?"
"I usually walk down this way to my house, Niwa-san. I should be the one asking, what are you doing here?"
Daisuke turned to face the Hikari. Satoshi walks down this way to his house, out of all the roads to take? This way was certainly no shortcut to Satoshi's house, the longest road to his house, in fact. Why would he walk this way? Daisuke's heart started racing again. Did Satoshi come this way because of the fountain? He wasn't sure, so he decided that he wouldn't get his hopes up just yet.
"Well....I just decided to visit this fountain. I haven't been here in ages..."
"....I know."
Daisuke turned to face Satoshi curiously. He knows? And was that sadness in Satoshi's voice, or was it just him? Did he know that he hasn't visited this fountain in years because Satoshi came here waiting for him? Daisuke couldn't take it. Him and his false hopes. But Daisuke still had plenty of it, and Daisuke was getting tired of it. Why hope for something, and never know if it's true or not? It was time to take chances, 18 years of waiting and wondering was too long.
"...Hikari-san.........ever since we were 14...I...er...that is...."
"...Yes, Niwa-san?"
"...Please, call me Daisuke. Like how you used to when we were 18...."
Satoshi's face turned a little red, but it could have just been Daisuke's imagination.
"Er....ok...Daisuke. So...what were you trying to say...?"
".......Hikari-kun...I.........," Daisuke sighed, and braced himself, putting on a determined face. There was no turning back. "Hikari-kun, I love you."
Daisuke closed his eyes, his heart racing and beating so fast it hurt, not wanting to see Satoshi's face expression just yet. What if Satoshi looked disgusted? Or mad? Or.....
His thoughts were cut short when he felt his chin being lifted up. Daisuke slowly opened his eyes, and saw Satoshi staring down at him, their faces very close. Daisuke blushed furiously at the distance, and blushed more when Satoshi started stroking his cheek.
"...You love me, Daisuke?"
"...H....Hai....Hikari-kun..."
Satoshi smiled, that beautiful smile, and gently kissed Daisuke. Daisuke's heart did a record jump. Satoshi...was...kissing...HIM! He felt like doing somersaults, but Satoshi's warm lips made him stay on the spot, not wanting to move. Slowly, they pulled away, breathless.
"Daisuke....call me Satoshi."
They stood alone together in the rain, holding eachother. Umbrella completely forgotten.
