The Healing of The Dark Heart

Chapter 5

Two tall and mysterious figures stand outside the Hinata-Sou. Surrounding them is an aura of pure darkness. The first figure said to his counterpart, "So he managed to escape our agents in his own dimension and somehow ended up here. And now we have to get called in to finish up their mistakes."

The other person, who was female, said, "Yes. And now it is our turn to capture him. Boy, they sure botched that job up. That bomb was supposed to kill him and spare his computer so we could download his invention specs. At least we have the consolation that his lab was destroyed, along with any witnesses who where there."

The man said, "That was fun to do. After we catch him, Let's blow up this place too! HAHAHAHAHA!!"

The woman quieted him down because she was worried about something. "Be quiet you fool! We have to find a place to hide, for now. I have heard that this entire town is protected by pure magic of the Urashima Clan, and is patrolled constantly by the heir of the God's Cry School of Martial Arts. They are rumored to be demon-slayers. Now what do you think would happen if they felt our chi?? It would be in our best interests to keep a low profile for right now."

"You're Right," the man said. "We'll wait, for now." He then looked up the stairs and said, "But it won't be long before we get you, Professor H. Your secrets, as well as your life, will be ours, for we are The SATAN Organization!!" And just as sudden as they appeared, they instantly disappeared into thin air. Meanwhile, upstairs in the Landlord's room, Dark Heart was in the middle of a nightmare.

OK, now where the hell am I now? This place sure seems familiar. Hey, that's my computer!! Alrighty now, let's see what is on the monitor. Dream Dark Heart turns on the imaginary computer and instantly recognized his favorite project. Oh, Wow!! I can't believe that my life's work is about to come true!! What an amazing turn of events for me!! Just then, he turns to a figure that is shrouded in the shadows. Who's there? Is that you, Sari? The shadowed figure nodded her head and said something only Dream Dark hears. Why thank you, Sari, it is an amazing device. But I couldn't have done it without you, my beautiful Fiancé. Just then, a loud explosion went off. Dream Dark looks over to where his fiancé was last standing, but only saw her head being held up by what looked like demons. NO, Sari!! You will pay for this, whatever you are!! Dark then puts on a strange-looking helmet in order to download his invention specs into his mind. But just before the download was completed, one of the demon forms set a timebomb on the computer. Before he could get away, the bomb went off, sending a big bright light towards him. No, I have to Save Sari!! I have to fight!! Sari!!!!!!

Just then, a small explosion rocked the Hinata-Sou to its foundations. The residents all raced to see what the hell happened. At first they thought it was just another one of Su's inventions backfiring again. But by the time they all got to the stairwell, Su was already rubbing her eyes from sleep. "Heyas, Shinobu, what's with all da racket?' Shinobu sweat-dropped and thought, if Su is here, then where did....... Oh no!! It came from Sempai's room!!

Shinobu yelled, "Hurry up, Su!! There is something going on in Dark Heart's room!! He may be in danger!!"

Su took a minute to comprehend this and then in a worried voice, said, "No, Not my Dark-kun!! He was supposed to play with me today! Let's move, Shinobu! MECHA-TAMAGO v. 56.3.5 ACTIVATE!" Just then, one of the biggest Mecha-Tamas Shinobu had ever seen picked both her and Su up and flew up the stairs. Already at the top of the stairs was Kanako and Motoko. Kitsune crawled out of her room and groggily said, "What's going on here, guys? I was having a wonderful dream with me, Dark, and a depraved walrus involved. And it was getting good too....."

The others just sweat-dropped while Su still looked confused and concerned with Dark Heart's status. "Ohio, Motoko, What's going on up here? You gonna make Dark-kun your target dummy again?" Su asked.

Motoko, also concerned about Dark's safety, said, "Well I was going to give him a hard going over, because he was supposed to meet me this morning for our training, but then I felt this huge surge of power shaking this building, and it felt like it was coming from here."

Kanako said, "I also felt this energy, but before it surged, I also felt a dark presense around the area. I went to investigate, but found nothing. Then the explosion happened, so I hurried up here to see what was wrong with Dark-san. I sure hope he's okay. He is a good man, very open- minded, but very sad. I just want him to be well. I think he likes me." Just then she blushed after she realized what she said again. Kitsune smiled at seeing Kanako blushing and thought to herself, someone's got the hots for Dark-kun. Just then, another huge power spike sent the room's door right off, and into the Mecha-Tama. Su saw this and started crying, "My Poor Mecha-Tama!! The door killed it!! Barely had a chance to live.......

Shinobu sweat-dropped and then turned her attention to a hovering Dark Heart. Surrounding him looked to be a big ball of electricity. Inside the ball they saw Dark in what looks like a helluva nightmare dreamstate. They could hear him saying, "NO!! SARI, MY BELOVED FIANCé!! YOU KILLED HER!! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!!" And then, all of a sudden, Dark shot up from the dream, eyes wide open. The electric ball disappeared, and he landed hard on the futon. "Damn!! They Killed my Sari!! They will pay for this!" Just then he realized that the Harem was in his room. "What the hell??" Then he looked around and saw the damage. "Oh My God, did I do this??" The girls all sweat-dropped and nodded yes.

Ema, all wired up from the light show in the room said, "Wow, this is unreal. I guess you can't control your powers when asleep. I must really document this!!" And with a flash, she was gone to her computer logs.

Kanako was the first to ask, "Are you alright, Dark-san?? You had me- -err, I mean, all of us worried." With that slip up Kitsune merely chuckled to herself and said, "So I guess it's true, You've finally moved on from Keitaro. I never knew you had it in you to forget your brother."

Kanako stammered, "Wh-What are you implying, you fox-faced wench!! I will always love my oniichan. But Dark has a pure soul, even if it is tormented. I know his torment. I feel his pain. So Shut up!!" And with that, she stormed off.

Motoko thought to herself, Strange, how come I didn't feel this dark presense?? Is it because I am getting caught up in this poor man's troubles to not notice real danger?? What is it about this man that catches me offguard?? Is it because his soul really is pure? I don't know, but I will protect him and this house from any danger. As long as he doesn't do anything perverted, Like Keitaro. Oh, Keitaro..........

Motoko shook that thought out of her head and then said, "Well I am glad everything is alright now. I am going back to practice. The offer still stands, Dark Heart, If you are willing, I will train you." Then she leaves.

Shinobu, Still trying to make sense of everything, noticed the time, and was suddenly in a panic. "Oh No, it's late! I still have to get breakfast ready!!" And with that, she quickly bows and runs downstairs, dragging Su and her completely totalled Mecha-Tama behind her.

The only one left was Kitsune. She took in all what happened and tossed it all around her sober(for the first time in her life) mind. It seemed to her that he is close to a breakthrough, but didn't know what triggered his body to go into full defensive mode. And who is this Sari person he mentioned? She would have to ask Mutsumi about this later. "Ah, well, this was fun. But for now, I am going back home to open up shop. See ya later, Dark-Kun! Glad ya feeling better." She then blew him a kiss and left.

By then, an emotionally drained Dark Heart found himself all alone. He then held his head in his hands and started crying. "Oh Sari, why did they take you from me?? Why do I feel all alone??"
