Chapter 9:
"Hmm..." Satoshi moaned as he began to stir. He never opened his eyes, but could tell he was laying on something soft and for some reason was holding something very warm. He didn't mind this warm feeling, on the contrary he quite liked it...be he wasn't sure what it was. He felt very tired and did want to move for some reason, but he couldn't tell what time it was or for how long he'd been asleep. Slowly and reluctantly he opened his eyes to have his vision blurred with a mirage of...red? Red, sweet smelling hair was all he could see, and what ever he was holding, was...breathing? Slowly he looked down to this red head's face and with a gasps, let go and fell off the bed.
"Dai...ouch...Daisuke!" Satoshi said just before he went crashing to the floor in what was normally Krad's clothing, a white trench coat with gold trim.
"Mmm...five more minutes..." Daisuke groaned with a hint of disappointment in his voice at the sudden lack of warmth.
Satoshi quickly stood up and shuck Daisuke lightly, but before he did he was stopped by the beautiful image before him. Daisuke looked so adorable curled up in a ball like that, on his bed no less, wearing a lose black jump suit like outfit that once looked skin tight on Krad's body. Satoshi snapped himself out of his trance and suck him as lightly as he could.
"Daisuke...Daisuke wake up!" Satoshi pleaded over and over again shaking him a little harder now. "Wake up Daisuke!" Satoshi said again more urgently.
"Mmm..." Daisuke moaned again and sat up rubbing his eyes. At first his vision was out of focus and blurry, but soon Satoshi's room and then Satoshi came into view. "Satoshi-kun...? Wha..." Daisuke said with a yawn, "What are you doing here?"
Satoshi gave a sigh of relief that Daisuke woke up, you please tell me why you were asleep in my bed with me?" Satoshi asked slumping down onto the bed beside Daisuke.
"Why I was in your...what?" Daisuke asked confused then realized fully where he was. "Ahhh!" Daisuke screamed and in his own shock fell off the bed.
"Err..." Satoshi said starring down at Daisuke who was now rubbing his head and kneeling beside the bed, "Are you okay?"
"Ow...oh yeah...but..." Daisuke started then looked at Satoshi with an expression of confusion and embarrassment. "I have no idea how I ended up here..."
"Well..." Satoshi said turning his eyes from Daisuke so that he could collect himself, "I have a guess...and thank God we still have our clothes on at least..."
Daisuke looked up at him wide eyed and confused, "What?" He asked with eyebrows raised.
"Never mind..." Satoshi said calmly and looked at the pendent hanging around his neck, "At least Krad and Dark got the pendent back..."
"You...you don't think they destroyed anything do you?" Daisuke asked a bit worried at having a vision of the police station in ruins.
"Knowing Krad...he most likely blew up something...but I doubt Dark let him destroy much." Satoshi said reassuringly.
"So...now we have the pendent...the last thing I remember from last night was Krad getting knocked to the ground but Dark..." Daisuke said with a bit of a cringed face. "Damn that hurt...I think I fell unconscious after that..." He said.
"The last thing I remembered was Dark putting me to sleep after Krad said something...I can't quite remember what it was..." Satoshi said holding his head.
"How long do you think we've been asleep?" Daisuke asked crawling back onto the bed and sitting down about a foot away from Satoshi.
"Not sure..." He said, "It was pretty dark when Dark put me to sleep..." Satoshi looked outside at the sky and guessed it was about four or so in the afternoon, but turning to the clock showed that it was 5:13pm. "Wow...I'm guessing a good twelve hours or so..."
"Wow...I wonder why Dark did that..." Daisuke said thinking. "Well what do we do now?" Daisuke asked after a moment.
"Well..." Satoshi said turning to Daisuke, looking into those innocent crimson eyes always made him want to rush forward and kiss their owner, but he then quickly turned away. "Well...we have about seven hours before Dark and Krad have to switch back..."
"Maybe we should go over to the museum!" Daisuke said quickly.
"The museum? Why?" Satoshi asked confused.
"Well, before Dark goes out on a mission, I always go to the...um..." Daisuke thought trying to avoid the words 'steal from', "That Dark plans to go that evening and check out security, escape routs, and such..."
Satoshi was a bit grateful that he avoided saying something that would have offended him in the fact that he was helping Dark make a fool out of him every night. "I see...alright, then let's go." Satoshi said al most out of the bedroom.
"Um...Satoshi-kun?" Daisuke said with a nervous giggle.
"What now?" Satoshi asked a bit annoyed.
"Um...don't you think you'd like to um...change first?" Daisuke asked pointing out that his current attire was a bit strange to normal people.
"Oh..." Satoshi said with a bit of an embarrassed blush, "Yeah...um...There are some clothes in him closet if you need them...I'll change in the bathroom..." He said wishing that he could change in a room with Daisuke.
"Alright, thanks Satoshi-kun!" Daisuke said with his usual innocent smile that Satoshi loved to death.
Satoshi and Daisuke were now already in the museum. Daisuke was wearing one of Satoshi's red hooded pullover sweatshirts and a pair of jeans that normally fit Satoshi just fine, but since Daisuke was shorter and smaller, they looked quite baggy and to long.
"So where is the place the pendent was?" Daisuke asked, since this was his first time in the museum to actually look around.
"Over here..." Satoshi said and just as they turned the corner were shocked with the sight of cops everywhere.
"Ah! What happened?" Daisuke said, police always made him feel uncomfortable, except for Satoshi that is.
"I'll handle it..." Satoshi said motioning for Daisuke to stay put as he walked over to the head officer.
The taller man turned in front of Satoshi turned around and Satoshi stopped short and in shock, "D...Dad..."
"Hello son, what wonderful timing you have." Mr. Hiwatari said with his sly smile. "How are you Satoshi?"
"Wha...what are you doing here?" Satoshi asked still in shock.
"Well, last night a very important item was stolen from the evidence vault at the police station. One of our cameras inside of the vault captured what appeared to be a black winged figure taking the pendent." Mr. Hiwatari said with his cool and calm smile. "But from what I remember...I put a certain someone in charge of catching this...black winged figure and so far...I'm not seeing results."
Satoshi stood motionless and knew that it was better to keep his mouth shut when around his...'father'...if you could really call him one...
"So now I've decided to take things into my own hands." Mr. Hiwatari continued.
"Your own hands?" Satoshi exclaimed, "What do you mean by that!" He demanded.
Mr. Hiwatari only smiled and motioned for Satoshi to step over to the side and out of sight with him. Daisuke nervously followed their movements but once they had moved behind a wall he could no longer see them, this in turn, worried him.
"What's the meaning of this?" Satoshi asked trying not to push it to far.
Suddenly Satoshi felt a sharp pain on the left side of his face. "I'm losing faith and patients in your Satoshi...I didn't bring you into my family just for you to let Dark get away and make a fool out of me every single evening!" He said in a dangerous tone after he'd just slapped Satoshi.
Satoshi knew better then to speak now and remained silent.
"I know the history of that pendent and have a good guess why Dark left it behind three nights ago..." Mr. Hiwatari said with a smirk.
Satoshi's eyes widened in fear that he knew exactly who switched with who the other night.
"Let's just say that tonight...I'll be waiting for the great Dark Mousy myself...and taking him out once and for all..." Mr. Hiwatari said crossing his arms.
"So you're not letting me in on this?" Satoshi asked trying to return to his cold expression.
"Hm..." Mr. Hiwatari said leaning down to Satoshi's ear, "no, I think I can handle this one on my own...son..." with that, he turned away from Satoshi and walked back towards the other police that were surveying the area and looked to be building something. "Oh and Satoshi," He called back at the stunned young man, "let's have dinner tonight! But if you're to busy I understand, see you later son!" He said with his cool smile returning.
Satoshi wasted no time in running back to Daisuke and grabbed his arm as he ran out of the Museum.
"SATOSHI!" Daisuke said with a shock as they ran, "What?"
"My dad.... he knows!" Satoshi exclaimed as Daisuke's face went wildly worried, "He's setting a trap for Krad and Dark tonight!"
"WHAT! But...but how does he know!" Daisuke asked in a panic.
"He saw Krad as Dark last night on a security camera's footage, it doesn't take long to put two and two together considering he knows about the pendant's power!" Satoshi said as he finally stopped to catch his breath with Daisuke.
"So...so...what do we do?" Daisuke asked leaning against the wall.
Satoshi gave a smirk and looked at Daisuke, "Heh, the only thing to do...really piss my dad off by making sure this plan of his doesn't work..."
"Hmm..." Satoshi moaned as he began to stir. He never opened his eyes, but could tell he was laying on something soft and for some reason was holding something very warm. He didn't mind this warm feeling, on the contrary he quite liked it...be he wasn't sure what it was.
