Chapter 18

'It's my curse. Everyone I love ends up getting hurt somehow. I'm not saying I love Dark but I'd be lying if I didn't say I had feelings for him. Now if I can't fall in love with him, he'll die. I know it's not entirely my fault but I still feel guilty. Vash still hasn't woken up either. He seems to get worse every day. His hair is completely silver and has grown so long it spills over the bed and onto the floor. I fear he may die; his fever is literally cooking him from the inside out. I don't even know if he'll survive the week. Rei and I have tried everything we can think of to cure him, you'd think that both out magic combined would be enough but it just isn't.

Kenshin isn't doing so well either. He seems to be low spirited ever since Dark kissed me and I can't blame him. Is it bad to love more than one person? I still have feelings for every man, demon and human alike, living in this house. Kurama has always been a small crush of mine and I'm still attached to Inuyasha. I love Vash but not as much as I used to and I feel terrible for it but I suppose there's nothing I can do. Kenshin is another story entirely. I still love him (how could I not?) but ever since he murdered Kageunsei and Mayonaka, even if it was his battousai side, I still feel uneasy around him. His golden eyes remind me too much of the killer that lives inside him. Kenshin says the battousai is gone but is it true? Can I trust him?

I'm falling apart at the seams. My life is too stressful being torn between loves and stardom. I don't want to disappoint my fans but I constantly wonder if it'd be better to fake my death and move back to the hut. With the way my heart's crumbling, I won't have to fake my death.

Dark hasn't returned from wherever he went. I'm guessing he went to say goodbye to Daisuke and tie up some loose ends. It's been a long time since he left though and I hope he'll be ok. Since Dark has nowhere else to live, now having a body of his own, I've given him Mayonaka's old room. We have carpenters working on restoring Vash and my room and we also have some working on tearing down Sakura, Thomas, and Katakana's rooms to make Dark's new room bigger. Jasmine and Knives room is still empty and untouched and I fear that it will remain that way permanently…

I'm going to find the killer who murdered my friends. I'm going to make his suffer just as much as I've suffered. There's no news on whom or where he is and the police are still working on finding him. For his sake, he had better hope the police find him before I do…'

Kat stopped writing in her diary and looked down at Vash. He was squirming in his sleep and Kat stroked his long hair to calm him down. Kurama was snoozing on one of the sofa in the room in fox form. Kat could see his feet twitch from time to time. Rei was staring into the fire at the foot of the couch Kurama was sleeping on.

Kat yawned and stretched as she sat up. Her feet padded across the wood floor to join Kurama on the couch. He shifted in his sleep and Kat pulled his head into her lap, stroking his silky silver fur. Kenshin appeared next to her and Kat leaned on him to use as a back support.

"Inuyasha is the only one not in here," Kenshin commented.

Kat sighed and buried her head into the folds of his clothes, "He's out at a photo shoot and he's staying in a hotel for the night."

"Hum…" Kenshin nodded as he gazed off into the flames.

Kat breathed in deeply and closed her eyes, letting the tiredness seize her body and numb her mind. She felt Kenshin rests his head on hers and become heavier as his muscles slackened. His breathing became deep and Kat was content for the moment. Sleep wasn't kind enough to take her though and she fell in and out of consciousness, drifting from thought to thought. 

^_^

Glass shattered across the floor, raining down onto the wood panels, glinting in the moonlight. His body hit the floor with a thundering crack as the floorboards split on impact. Glass shards coated him and dug into his skin. Blood ran down his face and oozed from the various cuts and gashes that littered his body. One eye had swollen shut and his hair was matted in various places from his blood and his enemies.

Dark lay panting on the floor, eyes shut tightly to lock out the pain. He could feel broken pieces of glass pressing up against uncovered skin, including his face. His thoughts raced and he fought to remain conscious. His breath came out ragged and fast and he knew that his only hope were the people living in the house he had crashed through. Wings fluttered in the distance and Dark heard the mad laughter of Krad, his worst enemy, as he neared.

The glass crunched under the other demon's feet. Dark heard the glass crack by his face and felt the presence of his enemy standing next to him. His muscles tensed as he prepared for the blow he knew he would receive.

A sickening crack sounded as Krad's leg splintered Dark's ribs on impact. Dark was slammed into the wall, instantly winded, a new wave of pain rushing over his damaged body. He coughed and felt the warm familiar liquid drip from his mouth.

'Damn it! This can't be the end!'

Laughter filled the room again as Krad smiled at his enemy's misfortune, "Did you really think I'd let you get away with stealing the Ice Crystal?" His voice neared and Dark heard him lean down to survey the damage. "I feel sorry for you. Does it hurt?" Krad stroked Dark's face gently, "I'm sure it does but what better way to die then by the hands of me? You're so beautiful you know that? It almost makes me sad to have to kill you."

Krad's grip tightened on Dark's jaw before the next blow was dealt. Bruised and badly battered, Dark knew that he was done for. The darkness was beginning to creep over his limbs and take hold of his mind when he heard something stir beyond Krad.

^_^

Kat had awakened when something come crashing through the window, slamming itself against the wall beside her. Her eyes shot open to see Dark, badly bruised and bleeding like crazy, covered in glass lying in a crumpled heap against the wall. She was about to stand and help when her senses told her that something else was coming. Kat rolled off the couch and waited for the thing that had followed Dark, golden eyes glowing, muscles tensed and waiting the fight that would surely come.

^_^

*CRACK!*

Krad was almost knocked off his feet as something collided with his jaw. His eyes darted to see that Dark was still lying on the floor.

Kat panted, adrenaline pulsing through her veins, eyes blazing, and fully alert. Her fist was curled still curled from the blow she had dealt to the blonde angel looking figure. She waited for him to stand up straight before speaking, "I don't know who you are, but if you think you're going to come in here and hurt my friends, you're sorely mistaken."

"I'm Krad. Who are you?" the psycho 'angel' asked, making his voice calm. His eyes blazed with anger and hatred.

"I'm Katsura Okamimure and I'm going to kill you for hurting Dark," Kat growled as the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. Even though Krad appeared harmless, she could tell he was as unbalanced and powerful as he pretended to be.

"He's just using you. The Phantom Thief Dark Mousy lives for the thrill of deception and stealing. Someday he'll deceive you, for after hunting him for hundreds of years, I would know."

"Let me be the judge of that," Kat bit back, eager to tear him apart. The battousai inside her screamed for blood shed.      

In an instant Krad had pinned Kat to the wall. His weight pressed upon her frame and he brought his face inches from her. "Aren't you fearsome," he mocked.

Kat felt his breath against her neck and it drove her to the brink of insanity. She brought fourth her inner power and let it coarse through her, stinging her skin. It crackled around her and all of the sudden slammed into Krad, throwing him backwards, singeing his clothes and enraging him. Kat glared at him, "You better believe it."

Krad shook himself off and winced. 'I underestimated her power… ' "Bitch," he hissed as he drew his sword.

Kat sidestepped and her hands flew out to grasp the metal of the sword thrust at her. It cut her palms and she felt its power lap at hers. Her grip tightened and blood began to run down her arms. She felt Krad press down harder on the sword and Kat could feel it rubbing against the bones of her hands. She bit back the tears of pain and applied pressure to the sides of the sword feeling it strain against the force.

*SNAP*

Krad stumbled forward as, to his amazement, his sword snapped in half.

At the same time Krad stepped forward, Kat met him halfway and drove the tip of the sword into his stomach. She felt it puncture his abdomen and his legs collapse to slump against her.  Kat knew something was wrong the instant the weight against her became lighter. She drew back to see a blue haired boy bleeding to death in her arms.

"Oh my god…" Kat sunk to her knees, still holding the boy in her arms. "Who are you?" she asked the still conscious body.

"Satoshi Hiwatari…" the boy coughed, blood running down his neck.

"What happened to Krad?" Kat asked as she examined the extent of the damage she had done.

The boy grunted in disgust, "He is the other me. Just like Daisuke was part of Dark…"

Kat felt the boy go limp and she felt a bit of relief, with the boy unconscious, she wouldn't have to worry about causing him pain as she tried to heal him. Kat only worried that the boy may never wake up.

She first removed the sword tip from his abdomen then called to Rei, "I need your help my friend." Kat looked over to the couch to see what was wrong. Everyone was still sleeping soundly, indifferent to what was going on. "Hey! HEY?!" Kat yelled to get their attention. There was no response so Kat went to tending to Satoshi by herself. Her arms were coated in blood and it was almost impossible to hold up the needle she needed to suture the blue haired boy back together. Kat felt the needle pierce her skin a few times but she ignored the pain and continued until she was finished bandaging the boy before her.

Kat hoisted him partly over her shoulder and tossed him a bit roughly onto the bed next to Vash. The Kat hurried over to tend to Dark. His battered and limp form was still in the last place it had fallen, not having moved an inch. Kat was afraid to move him, in fear of completely severing his ties to this word. Sucking it up, Kat lifted him up and rested him against her chest, tears streaming down her face. 'Yet another person who's in pain and it's my fault! If he dies…' Kat sobbed as she blamed herself for Dark's misfortune. Her hands worked numbly to fix as much damage as she could. Feathers stuck to her arms, kept there by the dried blood, and Kat wondered faintly what had happened to With.

^_^

Her hands shook from her rattled nerves but Kat finally managed to tie the last bandage into place on Dark. Her thoughts were biting and nipping to be answered and mulled over but Kat's mind was too tired to think of anything but how tired she was. She leaned against the wall, Dark in her lap, broken and battered to no end. Her hands were cut badly and Kat left them to dangle at her sides. She was covered head to foot in blood and she didn't want to think of what would happen if someone came in and saw the scene before her.

Kat kept her eyes open, wanting to stay awake, for Dark's sake but in the end sleep won her over and she collapsed against the wall, smearing blood from her clothes against the paint as she slumped forward.

(A/N: Sorry for the odd ending but it just had to end somewhere. More to come later! PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
