CH5- Pretty face
Daisuke and Satoshi walked on in silence towards Satoshi's apartment. Neither of them had to say it, they were thinking about the dream. "…Satoshi, who was she?"
Satoshi sighed. "No one for you to concern yourself with. If you see her or sense her, you're to change into Dark, then run and hide in that vault and attempt to stay awake as long as possible."
Daisuke stopped with a scowl on his pretty face and Satoshi froze as well. "That's it? That's all you intend to tell me? It was my dream too Satoshi! I think I have a right to know more than that!"
Satoshi stuck his hands in his pockets and began walking on. "You'll only get yourselves into trouble. Krad and I will deal with this,"
In an impulsive move, Daisuke grabbed Satoshi's wrist. "Do you think Dark will put up with that? No! Do you think I will put up with that! If she's a threat to you , she's a threat to both of us!"
'THWAP!'
Daisuke winced as he found himself pinned against the brick wall of Satoshi's apartment. Satoshi stood close, so close that Daisuke's shuddering breath warmed his shoulder as the red head clenched his two captured hands wishing Satoshi hadn't pinned them so high above his head.
Finally Satoshi rested his face in the crook of the red head's neck breathing in the sweet scent of his body as he loosened his hold on his wrists slightly. "Daisuke…I don't want you getting hurt." he said calmly.
Daisuke's mouth fell open a bit as he gazed up at Satoshi who stared down at him with intense blue eyes. His stare was so severe that Daisuke was tempted to turn away.
Satoshi saw this however and roughly grabbed the smaller boy's jaw and pressed his lips against Daisuke's. In the kiss he put all of his frustrations, worries about Daisuke, stress about Krad, his mild irritation at waking up in the dark thief's lair. Everything was put into one bruising kiss.
Daisuke was breathless as his dreams manifested. Though it was a rough kiss he could tell it was genuine. He didn't struggle against Satoshi but allowed him full access to his mouth arching up to meet him as shivers ran down his spine in an all too familiar feeling. Unfortunately he didn't recognize it on time and Satoshi found himself pushed to the ground.
"I thought we had a deal, you weren't to touch Daisuke." he said brushing himself off as the commander glared up at him.
(AN: I'm referring to book two in which Dark told Satoshi not to touch a mysterious You Know Who)
Satoshi stood to his full height which was, inconsequentially, still shorter than Dark before glaring at the phantom thief. "Your host isn't property that you can bar access to, especially considering he gave the invitation, he kissed me first."
Dark glared knowing that Satoshi was right but rather than admitting that, he crossed his arms and pouted like a child a bit before actually standing up straight and walking up to Satoshi until his back was mere inches from the wall. Refusing to be intimidated Satoshi held his ground only millimeters from Dark despite the fact that because of this he had to crane his neck to see his face. "What is it that you and Krad know that you aren't telling us? Hikari." he asked evenly.
Satoshi peered off into the corner of his peripheral vision a second in which Dark assumed he was conversing with his host. Then a cool smile crossed his face and he looked up at Dark with a smirk. "Krad says he doesn't feel like telling you, asshole."
Satoshi didn't even wince when he was shoved back against the wall causing his head to hit it painfully. In fact, he didn't even blink, just stared at Dark with those smirking eyes. Dark could feel his limbs resisting him, most likely Daisuke trying to hold him back from kicking the creepy bastard's ass right there. He figured he'd best not push his luck with how far he could go before he transformed back into Daisuke so he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at the stubbornness of the homicidal blonde.
"Tell Krad to get out here. Now!" he said with barely restrained anger.
Satoshi simply brushed off his shoulders seeming more concerned with his black shirt than with the angry Phantom thief. Finally he spoke calmly, still seeming more concerned with the shirt than with Dark. "He says he doesn't take orders from you. And I have to say, it's the first thing we've agreed on,"
Dark closed his eyes in an attempt to clear his head before he said something the Hikari would regret. "Satoshi. If this puts Daisuke in danger, you need to tell me, so I can protect him."
For a moment Satoshi gave a blank look that might have been sympathy before turning around. "If you want to protect Daisuke, then take him home, and stay out of my way until we get this sorted out." with that he walked back to his apartment leaving Dark alone.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a small diner across the street from Satoshi's apartment, the news played on a small TV to entertain the patrons. "The Yukiko family has publicly announced the denouncement of their heir today, leaving a veritable power vacuum as the question arises, who will they leave their company to?"
A pale hand lifted a coffee cup to perfect pink lips as black irises observed the scene outside. "They're beautiful, I had no idea light and dark could be so beautiful. Even their hosts are perfect."
Cadell listened from the corner of Eriko's mind, genuinely surprised at the girl's candidness. "Yes, it's unfortunate they'll have to be destroyed."
"Yes," agreed Eriko raising her hand to signal for another cup of coffee. "It's cold out."
"Yes. Don't blame me, I simply gave you the power, you're the one that attacked your parents,"
"…They attacked me first, I have no regrets, but I don't know how long the money from my personal accounts will last. You're lucky I have a stock portfolio or else we'd both be hungry right now."
"I assure you, that won't be a problem. Dark isn't the only one capable of stealing. But that's not the main concern right now. Do you think you can get into the school the wing masters go to?"
"I could, with the help of my dear aunt Cadell,"
"…You surprise me Eriko, pleasantly at times, even if other times I consider snapping your neck and moving onto another host. Don't be so impudent."
Were someone watching her at the moment, they would have been chilled by the smile that animated the doll's otherwise lifeless face. "You say that Cadell. But you know you'd have trouble finding another host that suited you so well."
"Enough!" snapped Cadell. "We have work to do."
Eriko shrugged her curls behind her shoulders. "A deal is a deal. Check please!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The moment Dark got into the apartment, he growled, slammed his fist into the mirror, and a frightened Daisuke looked at the shards and evidence of his alter ego's rage on his bloodied fist.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daisuke sighed as he listened to the scratch of a pen against paper as Satoshi wrote. He wanted to talk to him but he knew if he turned around to talk he'd get into trouble. He also knew Satoshi knew that which was why the bluenette hadn't initiated any conversations.
Dark had effectively blocked out all but a few snatches of his conversation with Satoshi the day before and Daisuke was terrified at what his alter-ego might have said. He put his hands to his lips before blushing. He wondered, had Dark not interfered, what might have happened.
Suddenly the door slid open and the teacher walked over to speak to the one who'd opened it, he took this chance to turn to Satoshi. "Ummm… Hiwatari-kun?" he asked meekly.
When Satoshi looked up he was almost taken aback by the nervous puppy dog eyes Daisuke was giving him. Had he not known better he would have sworn he was looking into the big red eyes of the Niwa's shape shifter Wiz.
"Yes Niwa-kun?"
"I think we need to talk, about yesterday,"
Satoshi sighed. It was inevitable. He'd been wanting to talk to the Niwa since the boy had walked in with a poorly bandaged hand that morning. But he didn't get the chance before the teacher walked in along with the principal.
"Hello students, I'm pleased to announce that today our high school will receive a new bright student. She scored higher on the entrance exams than anyone in this district or the next fifty. Despite the fact that she's a junior, she's already completed all of the junior courses, so we're putting her in here with you. I hope you'll all treat her with respect. Please miss Yukiko, come in," said the principal smiling.
Gasps went through the room at the sweet faced girl who entered. Comments about her beautiful curls, sweet mouth, perfect skin, and adorable figure went through the room.
But Daisuke only noticed one thing. Her blank, pitch black eyes. She bowed before looking up to the class with a charming smile. "Good evening,"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the evening everyone knew about the new girl. She was adorable, polite, and referred to everyone in the senior class as senpai, despite the fact that she was in their class. They loved her. Daisuke and Satoshi looked on from the roof as she sat under a tree surrounded by girls who were chatting with her, giggling with her, and braiding her hair. Every once in a while she'd peer up to the roof with a knowing smile.
"That's her isn't it Satoshi?" murmured Daisuke. "When I look into her eyes I get chills down my spine, it's like she doesn't have any emotions, just hard cold facts." he pulled out his bento box and looked to Satoshi was staring blankly at the girl as well.
"I'm surprised Cadell already found a host. I suppose I'd better tell you what she is," he murmured taking off his glasses with a delicate gesture. Daisuke looked to him with wide attentive eyes. He looked down to the girl with the cold aura before sighing and turning back to Daisuke. "That dream we had? It was in the void. It's just a huge, empty space where only astral bodies can survive. One of the astral creatures in the void, the essence of the void itself is Cadell. You know that the Hikari created Krad from an artwork right? Well, Cadell was created the same way. For a woman who was very lonely. She painted a picture of a beautiful woman, and poured all her loneliness into it. The result was Cadell. The woman was no longer lonely because Cadell was the void that had been inside her. The only problem was Cadell kept feuding with the wing masters. Because of this they sealed her within herself saying that she'd only be released when a discrepancy occurred between light and Dark. She's most likely been released to destroy us,"
"…What?" murmured Daisuke. "She's after both of us? How much can she do?"
"Just as much as Dark and Krad. In fact she's equal to them. But she can't stand up to both of them," said Satoshi putting his glasses back on. "I was really hoping she wouldn't be released this time, there's only one solution Daisuke. You're gonna have to move in with me,"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daisuke walked down the street with a back pack on, feeling exceeding giddy and cheerful.
"No! No no no no no!" whined Dark.
"You heard Satoshi, she's dangerous, but she can't beat you and Krad,"
"Yeah? And what if he-"
"He won't,"
"And what if Krad-"
"Just deal with it the same way you did last time!" thought Daisuke sarcastically. Dark grew quiet for a moment.
"Do you love the Hikari?"
Daisuke froze with wide eyes. "Uh- I- Ah- I'm attracted to him," he murmured with his face flushed redder than his hair.
"Is that all? Because you're taking a huge step. He seems a little faster than you Daisuke, and you're moving in with him,"
Daisuke stopped, wishing, not for the first time, that Dark was another person so he could glare at him. "Hiwatari-kun isn't like that!"
"Oh come on! Didn't you ever get the speech about teenage boys? Wait. That was supposed to be about you so you didn't. All that boys want is sex. Sex. Sex. Sex!"
"Shut up!" snapped Daisuke.
He looked up into Satoshi's eyes as the bluenette relieved him of his bag. Satoshi had a raised brow. "I'm going to assume you're talking to Dark,"
"Uh- Hai!" said Daisuke blushing profusely. "Um…Hiwatari-kun…You still live alone?"
"Yes," said Satoshi turning around and walking towards his apartment.
"Don't you ever get…lonely?"
Satoshi smiled down at Daisuke. "I do. But then, I think of you, and it eases the pain."
Daisuke's blush increased if at all possible and he hurried up after Satoshi.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daisuke walked down the hall of the school with a sigh. The teacher had told him to go to the copy room to make copies during break. Naturally he'd complied and now Satoshi was probably on the roof waiting for him- or finishing all the good sushi…considering he couldn't cook, Daisuke's home cooking had to be refreshing.
He walked into the copy room and set up the machine for the proper amount of copies before turning around and leaning around the copy machine- and jerk back to have his hips hit it painfully. "Ah- You startled me!" he gasped.
Before him stood the new girl, Eriko. "Ah- Gomen senpai," she said smiling still, she didn't back up. Daisuke felt as if he couldn't move because her energy was so over powering.
Had any one looked in at the moment they would have seen a strange sight. A five foot four little girl had a five foot seven boy pinned against the copy machine. "I- ah-"
"So you're the Niwa," she said smiling prettily. "It's a shame. You're so pretty,"
He clenched his hands along the edge of the copy machine as he struggled to speak. She ran her hand along his jaw bone. "I can see why the Hikari guarded you so adamantly,"
Her energy was so cold. It took the warmth out of him like he was being shoved into a pool of cold water. He turned his face away and winced. "Puh- Please-" he murmured.
She drew back with a mild frown. It changed back to a smile. "It's okay, I'll give your Hikari a chance to defend you, I see him as a bigger threat so he'll be eliminated first. Though, I'll regret that too," she said with genuine sadness in her eyes. "I wish it could be different." she said with a sigh. "Now. Get up stairs with Hikari, I heard some of the boys outside talking about you, and you'll find them far less pleasant than I." with that she walked out daintily.
He slid down the copy machine panting as if he was getting air back into his lungs. Eriko sighed. "I didn't think I'd be picking on little boys Cadell," she muttered.
"Don't be fooled Eriko, They're more than young boys. Much more."
"We'll see," thought Eriko. "We'll see."
