Sorry the last chapter was so short, but this one's pretty long... I think.
Chapter 2: Realization of the Curse (and it's effects)
Back at the Niwa household....
"AAAAAAAAAHH!!! Mom! Mom! MOM!! What's happening to me?!" yelled a rather different-looking Niwa-kun, as he ran down stairs.
"Oh!! You're so cute! Just like the last one." She smiled.
"What? Mom, it's me!! Why do I look like this?! I don't understand what's going on! I felt weird and then... I started growing! I feel like I'm someone else...."
"It's part of your destiny," she started to explain. "You've heard the stories of the legendary... Phantom Thief Dark... whose real identity is unknown. Well, it's your turn to inherit that identity... Daisuke... I mean, Dark...."
"Huh?"
"For 400 years, the Niwas have been a family of art thieves. They're the best in the world... and they begin when they reach 14 years of age. It's the destiny of the Niwa family! Your grandfather was Dark too."
"What?! I've heard of Dark... you're saying he's... me?! No way!! I'm no 'great phantom thief'! Change me back!!"
"Daisuke... I've already left the warning note for the police. Tonight at 11 o'clock, you're going to steal the famous "Saint of Tears" sacred maiden statue! They'll be waiting for you...."
'Tonight's the big night... tonight at 11...'
Oh! So that... that's what Saehara-kun was talking about? "No way... I can't do it!" he decided.
"You're the only one who can!!" Niwa-kun's grandfather said seriously.
"You're the last of the Niwas, Daisuke.... This is why we've been training you for as long as you can remember. It's all been leading up to this. The key to changing back is the sacred maiden!!"
Maiden... the "Saint of Tears"?! "So... if I go and steal it, I'll turn back into a kid?!"
"Yup that's right!"
"That's it Daisuke. Wiz, go with him. Wiz has been Dark's partner throughout our family history. Touching Wiz on his head by Dark causes him to transform. Dark's black wings, are really Wiz's wings."
[FYI: this is where the story is going to start to go off of the plot line --very far off he plot line-- and is only going rarely bit true to the story.]
Near the Art Museum...
Uhh... maybe I can sneak in by posing as a guard, Niwa-kun thought. He flew down under the cover of Wiz's wings and got in a outfit like the ones the police guards did. No one will notice that there's an extra person. He moved into the area where the statue was held and stood as if was on watch. Niwa-kun had told Wiz to cover the statue after the lights went out for a second, and then he announced, "Dark's got the statue! He went to
the front door!"
All the other guards panicked as they realised that the statue was gone, and rushed to the front of the museum. Inspector Saehara pointed to Niwa-kun --not knowing that it was him though-- and told him to stay there. When all the guards had gone, he snapped his fingers, and Wiz uncovered the statue. He took off the uniform that he had been wearing, and threw it aside, then walked up to the art work's base, and found that there was a code to get the statue from the case it was in. He quickly typed in the code, and the lock released. At about that time, he heard footsteps behind him.
"I had told him the defences weren't good enough.... I'm glad that this turned out the way it did, really. I was afraid that my generation wouldn't get a chance to take a crack at you." The figure emerge out of the shadows, and turned out to be Hiwatari Satoshi, none the less. The blue-haired boy ran toward the now taller Niwa-kun (although, he thought
that it was Dark, not his klutzy class mate), and grabbed his wrists and pulled him to the ground. With his arms pinned, and his legs pinned, the thief couldn't move. "The truth is that I could care less about the statue. You see, I've devoted my life to finding and catching you!"
I can't get him off of me!!
"For me, nothing else matters. As one of the last members of my clan, I must capture you, and put an end to this." The ocean blue of Hiwatari- kun's eyes shimmered as he leaned closer to the man pinned under him. The teen leaned in closer and his lips touched the other man's as he temporarily lost control of what he was doing, but at that time, Niwa-kun started to struggle, then a light emitted from his body, and the blue-eyed teen had to look away, or be blind for the rest of his life. When the light cleared, the thief was no long under him, but there were two of him!
" So, let me test you a bit commander. Which Dark is the real Dark? "
Later....
What was I doing? thought Hiwatari Satoshi. I... I was going to kiss that thief--that criminal! What the hell was I thinking?! The only one I would let myself lose control is Daisuke.... Why Dark, though?! Or... does Dark and Daisuke have something in common? Maybe, like me, they're stuck in the same body, but just...?
Next morning....
"Niwa-kun," Risa said, a pleading look on her face. "Just when I tell you that I love you, you tell me that you love someone else..... I can't believe that you've done this to me! I can't imagine how you might hurt me next, so this is good-bye... for good!" She ran away, crying.
"Harada-san...." Niwa-kun called after her.
"It's no use," said a voice behind the red-head. "She'll never understand, Daisuke...."
"Satoshi...!" he managed to get out before he was kissed by the taller boy.
"WHAAAAAAT?!?!?" Niwa-kun shot up in bed, screaming at what he had done in his dream. "Why?! Why me?!"
Oi, Daisuke! Dark called. Maybe you like that creepy bastard.... It's not the first time you've dreamed about him, ne?
Shut up, Dark! You've caused me enough pain already! Daisuke called back.
Well, Dark started slyly. Maybe you should try it for real, again... eh?
What are you talking about?
Okay then, if you don't understand, then I'll just have to show you what it means! Dark snickered, then full out laughed.
What's so funny?!
Nothing, of course, just sit back, and let me show you....
An Hour and a Half later at school during swimming class....
The teacher finished taking role, then asked for everyone to get in the pool. Even though Daisuke was paired up with Risa, he never even felt like transforming even once that whole day when he was with the brunette. He didn't even change when he ran into the class room afterwards, forgetting that the girls locker room wasn't open for use, so they were changing in the class room. Daisuke felt that it was weird that things were
happening this way. When it was time to sign up for the field trip to the amusement park, he tried to stay away from the roster, but Dark, like he had said earlier, he was going to show Daisuke something, and well..... Dark took control of the red-head's body, then walked over to the roster, and signed the boy's name. When the teen gained control of his body again, he found that the sheet had said that once you sign up, you cannot change
your mind, and he had written it in ink, so there was no chance of erasing it.
Mwhahahahahaha! We get to go to the amusement park!! Dark laughed unable to hold the urge back. Hahaha! That means that the chance of sitting next to that blue-haired detective is very high! Hahaha! Just you wait!!
Daisuke just sighed, and admitted defeat.
Next day by the busses at school....
"Okay!! Time to give everyone partners! Let's see.... First... we have Saehara paired with Kamara..." she continued sown the list, but Daisuke didn't listen, until his name was called. "And finally, Niwa is paired with Hiwatari. That's it! Remember that you cannot change your partners!"
The teen's eyes got wide in shock. I'm paired up with Satosh-- wait! I'm shouldn't call him by his first name alone!! That would mean that.... Oh, is that what Dark was talking about?! No! It can't be! Daisuke shook his head physically. It's Hiwatari-kun, not Satoshi!! He got on the bus, and found that Satoshi was already sitting down, as far away from everyone else as he could get. "Ohayo, Sa- Hiwatari-kun!" the boy corrected himself, as he sat down next to the taller teen.
"Ohayo, Niwa-kun," he said coolly, looking at Daisuke for a minute, but then turned away. Why am I so up-tight today?! I never act this way around Daisuke! Why should I start now? He might suspect me.... Satoshi thought as he looked out the window as the bus started moving. A while down the road, about a fourth of the way into the trip (it was a hour drive, because of the traffic in Tokyo), Satoshi felt something warm lean against his shoulder. He looked, and found that the boy that was sitting next to him was using his shoulder as a pillow. The boy smiled, which was very rare, and decided that it wouldn't hurt if he fell asleep as well, besides he hadn't had enough sleep the night before....
About ten minutes away from the destination....
Daisuke woke after a half-an-hour nap, and felt recovered. But when he fully woke, he found that he was leaning against something, or someone, that something was leaning against him as well and that what-ever he was next to was very warm and extremely comfortable. He glanced over, and saw silky, feathery, sky-blue hair intertwined in his own blood-red hair. He looked even closer, and discovered that Satoshi had fallen asleep,
after he had fallen asleep, and that he had been leaning on the other boy's shoulder the whole time, and Satoshi had probably been leaning against him almost as long.
"Sa- Satoshi!" he couldn't help but say, as he turned a bright red.
"Hmm...?" Satoshi murmured, as he heard his name. He sat up straight, and looked at the embaraced boy next to him. "What's wrong, Daisuke?" He asked, totally unlike his usual self that was portrayed to the public.
"I- I mean... Hiwatari-kun!" the smaller boy, again corrected himself. "Gomen ne, Sato- Hiwatari-kun!" He turned an even brighter red.
"Mmmm? I don't think titles matter much anymore, Daisuke. Plus, I know your relationship with Dark-san now."
"You know- I mean, what are you talking about?!" Daisuke tried to recover, but it was a little too late.
"I see, so you don't want me to know even though what I guessed was right. This is what I think... you and Dark-san are sharing one body, and you switch back and forth, and that was you in control of the body the other night. Am I correct, or slightly off?"
"Co- correct.... totally correct...."
At that little sentence, Satoshi smiled, and just leaned in closer to the smaller boy. Even though he turned even redder (if possible), he also leaned toward the other boy, and their lips met. Then, Daisuke felt like he did on his Birthday a couple days ago; on fire, and feeling like he was about to transform.... He quickly broke away, and turned away form
Satoshi. He was upset that he had to break away, but he had no choice, or else he was going to transform into Dark in front of the whole 8th grade. Luckily, he didn't because he made himself think about Risa instead of Satoshi and he immediately calmed down, but unfortunately, Takashi had taken interest of what Daisuke was doing, and saw them kissing, and well... took a picture of that moment. The two boys hadn't been paying attention to anything around them, so they didn't hear the other teen take a photo of the two of them. When they got off the bus, it was a different matter. Dark was laughing hysterically, saying "Told you so!!" and Takashi was making his way to Daisuke and Satoshi.
"Hey, Niwa-kun! I never knew that you were into the silent and smart type!" the brunette yelled to his friend once he got within a foot of him. "Heh, heh. You two make quite the couple!"
With that Satoshi glared at the other boy and sent chills down Takashi's spine. Daisuke tried to think of anything but the kiss, but it wasn't working, he started to feel like he was transforming again. He ran to the teacher and told her that he was going to the bathroom, and Satoshi had to follow because of well... the "buddy system".
"Daisuke, are you all right?" Satoshi asked when they locked themselves into the boys' bathroom. He stepped toward the smaller boy and touched his shoulder from behind.
"Hi- Hiwatari-kun!" Daisuke jumped, but then tried to explain. "I'm sorry, but -it's just that when I feel like this -when I think of the one I love most -I, well. I transform when I do, and I just don't want anyone else to see, you know?"
"Well, why don't you transform? You can with me, I already know...."
"But what if Dark does something to you?! I couldn't stand if something happened to you because of me!"
Tsuzukeru ni imasu....
So, how did you like it? Please review! I want to know what you think!!
See ya later!
