Chapter Four - What Now?

So imagine the best day of your life where you meet that someone of your dreams and everything looks great, thinking to yourself that nothing could go wrong now. Can you picture it now? Okay now listen to this. Imagine the exact opposite of that and you'll get what I have. I thought to myself that things couldn't get any worse until I woke up the following morning.

"Ugh…where am I?" I sat up to only hit my head against a metal bar, finding myself with another bump on the head.

"Aww…poor baby. Is iddle Daisuke going to coowhy?"

"No!" But it was a lie. I fighting the tears that were forming in my eyes when I sat straight up again to fall back down in shock of hearing another voice. Plus that, whoever this stranger was, knew I was…well me.

"So are you going to stop being so stupid and sit back now."

"Hey I'm not stupid. Who in the world would place a metal bar underneath me anyways?" I slowly got up, avoiding the bar, and looked around for the speaker. "DARK!"

"Ya what of it." It was definitely him. Dark was sitting beside me inside another cage which appeared too small for him, looking amazingly bored as he twirled around a metal clip. This was the first time I've ever really seen him, face to face.

"But how?! How is this possible!?"

"How am I supposed to know? I woke up like this, in my very own body but…"

"But what?" I didn't like the sound of that. I mean how could I. The entire time I was wondering why in the world had Dark not sprung free from such an easy restriction and to my guess he was going to tell me in just a moment.

"Look around your neck." And sure enough I felt a chain around my neck. It didn't feel like much but when I tried to pull it off, I felt this horrifying pain inside my head. But not only was my head feeling like it was about to explode, my body too grew weak. I let go of the chain and looked up at Dark, holding my head to calm the pain when I noticed Dark had one too.

"What is this?"
"I don't know what it is but I'm guessing it links us together."

"What do you mean?"

"O don't get so panicky. Here hold on while I break us out of here." Sure enough Dark picked his way out as he opened my lock too to let me out. The place we were left in was strange and damp. I didn't like it one bit. It was like one of those places you'd find in a horror movie and in the next room laid one of those creatures of the night getting ready to eat his victims.

"So Daisuke ready to bust out."

"Um…sure but how do we get these chains off of us."

"Oh ya…About that. Haven't really figured it out yet. These stupid things were the reason why I couldn't get out in the first place."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well I don't know what these are exactly but I know for a fact that these chains are the reason why we aren't one person any longer. Well come on now. We can't just stick around waiting for our kidnapper to return now can we." Dark seemed so awesome. I've noticed before but Dark could really be a great role model. He seemed so different when he wasn't a part of you.

"Alright well let's get out of here." We bounded out of that creepy place and crawled into the upper floors where we found it more welcoming than the lower floors. It was amazing. I couldn't believe where I was. Everything was so pearly white and glowing. But looked strangely familiar.

"This can't be…."

"Umm Dark do you think this is…"

"So you finally got out Dark. I was expecting you two would be out sooner."

"Satoshi!" We both yelled out as Satoshi walked down the steps of his home. He got closer every second as I tried my best to keep Dark from killing Satoshi.
"What's going on!? Why in the world did you bring us here?"

"Well where else should I take my guests." He was so close to us that I could have kicked him. In his hands were the Mermaid Tears. "So Dark. How does it feel to know that what you were planning on doing was ruined by me."

"Feh…You think you've won."

"No, I know I have. With these, you and Daisuke will suffer to no ends. With these you and Daisuke will never have the chance to steal again." The jewels sparkled in the light and not only were the jewels glowing but our chains were too.

"What the…Satoshi you didn't."

"O! See that's where you're wrong. I did and like I said before, you're life is mine now."

"Dark! Stop!" But it was too late. Dark had broke free from my grasp and jumped on Satoshi. He raised his fist and was ready to smash it into Satoshi's jaw when he stopped and fell over, wincing in agony.

"What's happening…" It seemed the pain was contagious because I too knelt down in pain.

"That's the effect of the Mermaid Tears. You and Daisuke both will suffer. When you try to break my rules than you will feel pain. I have made a wish and placed it on those chains and what I wished for was for you Dark to become not one but two. That's where Daisuke comes in."

"What do I have anything to do with this Satoshi. Dark is the only one who did the thieving."

"That's where you're wrong." Satoshi stepped over Dark, who was now moaning with pain. "You are the key to Dark's existence. From now on, you two are linked. When you feel pain he will too. When you die…" Satoshi pulled on the chains causing a mind numbing agony to coarse through my very blood. "He will too." And that was it before I blanked out. It was over. Me and Dark were done playing thief. We were done chasing after the love of our lives. We were done…period. And to my belief it was all his fault as I sunk into a pit of nothing with only one thing on my mind. Rei…I wonder what she's doing right now.

Disclaimer: I hope you guys liked this chapter. If you did get confused, don't worry it will make enough sense in the next chapter when Rei comes in the picture and oh ya guess what…I have a little surprise for all of you…(Well let's say that it involves a certain couple of twins that we are all familiar with…I hope…hehe)
