Chapter 6:

Good endings or a tragic grand finale

DAISUKE POV

The Next Day

Satoshi didn't show up at school today, or maybe he was just avoiding me. He probably felt awkward about the whole situation now. I couldn't blame him, and in some ways I was glad he wasn't here. But I didn't have that strange feeling that someone was watching me. I felt free, but I didn't feel safe; I didn't have that reassurance that, that someone was there watching me. That someone was Satoshi.

I wasn't the only who noticed his disappearance, obviously. The teacher noticed and clearly noted it every few minutes. All the girls that drooled over his "cuteness" were talking about it too. They also mentioned Dark, this caught Dark's attention. He now seemed to notice that his hunter wasn't here.

: Dai-chan, your friends not here:

:Whoa that's a suprise, you better take advantage of that! hehehe:

Shutup Dark!

:Hey, don't yell at me because you're lonely today...:

I'm trying to concentrate!

:Sure...that's why you haven't wrote down anything except- :

Dark was right though, I had one free day of being "stalked" and I couldn't even focus. I didn't know how to act, it was weird, but it was like my whole pattern was thrown off. that was a key point and it kept me from doing stupid things, but they always seemed to happen especially when I was with Takeshi.

End of the Day

Since he wasn't here the teacher wanted someone to take him his work. Of course all the girls jumped at this chance. but no, she just looked around the room until her eyes landed on me. Her face lit up.

"Daisuke, you've been good today," she said, "Why don't you take Satoshi his work?"

All the girls including Risa glared daggers at me. Hey! I didn't want to be hated because of this, but I also didn't want to see Satoshi right now. Part of me did, but I got nervous just thinking about it, and that blonde guy...Ugh he just gives me the creeps!

"What do you say Daisuke?" she questioned.

:Of course! I'd love to see my LOVER boy right now:

"Umm...no that's ok."

:Okay, what is his assignment? I'll take it right now:

Shutup Dark!

:Hehehe of course hehehe:

(TAII: Hehehe is a girly giggle it's not hahaha that's a laugh) - just ignore that

"Ok, so I take that as a yes, his assignment is-"

:Hehehehe:

"Shutup Dark!"

Everyone in the class looked at me as if I was crazy. Thank goodness Satoshi wasn't here to hear me say that. But all that doesn't matter now because he knows who I am...

I quickly attempted to think of something to explain that, note attempted!

"Umm...What I mean is it's dark outside and uh..." I felt Dark taking over, but I wasn't changing.

"...And uh, I'll have to leave now if I'm going to get home before it's dark out because Satoshi has to go catch Dark tonight..so uh..."

Her face lit up again as she began to praise Dark. I, well, he just smiled and let it all go to his head. And on the way out he made sure to wink at all the little ladies who were now pouting. He, well, we recieved a lot of hostile glares and vengeance threats that the girls won't forget.

'Evil, Evil, Evil Dark!' I chanted in my head.

Satoshi's Place

Satoshi POV

(((Stupid Stupid Stupid)))

I couldn't just rest, he wouldn't shutup and let me. As in he, it's the only he who gets on my nerves.

(((How could you do that? Fraternizing with the enemy!)))

It wasn't fraternizing, it was conversing, being together as friends...

(((Friends! Friends! Friends don't KISS each other like that!)))

They do when they feel something more than friendship

(((Why do you torture me so? You know how I feel, why don't you accept that?)))

The same reason you don't accept how I feel...

(((About me, denial...about him, it's taboo)))

And why is that?

(((Because I said so!)))

Goodnight Krad, and shutup so I can sleep!

(((We're not done talking and conversing as friends)))

Because we aren't friends, friends listen to each other and accept their feelings, they may not understand or agree, but they accept them and that they can't do do anything about it if they don't approve

(((...Goodnight Satoshi...)))

Goodnight Krad

I laid back down on the fluffly pillows. They were my only comfort at that time. I didn't go to school today so I couldn't see Niwa right now. I had to think and at school, around him, was the last place that I could think in peace.

My eyes start to close once more as I slip further into darkness. That was the other reason that I didn't go. the lack of sleep because of "thinking" all last night...

Ten minutes later

Daisuke POV

I walk slowly up onto the porch. To think I had stood here so many times before and it was just yesterday that I was leaving here. Or rather, being shunned and kicked out. It took all the courage I had to even set foot on the steps. It took the rest of my will to get up to the door, and and all my strength to knock.

I tapped twice on the door. no answer so I tried again, this time three times. Still, no answer not even a shuffle inside.

"Oh well, he's not home I'll just leave it in the mailbox..."

:Oh no you won't, knock harder!:

Shutup Dark, I'm just gonna leave it in the mailbox

:Oh yeah, you know that boy has ears like a cat, he hears everything except your little chicken scratches, now try it again he's home and you know it and if he's not then somethings wrong::

Oh really?

:Yes, really now knock again:

As much as I just wanted to hop up and I run, I couldn't. I knew he was right and this time I knocked a little harder and the door eased open.

:Not that hard Dai-chan! Sheesh! Tear his whole door down, why don't you:

Shutup Dark, I didn't knock that hard, it wasn't...it wasn't locked...or even closed...

:That's not good:

We should check it out just to see if he's okay...

:Good idea! And while we're at it we should write our own wills too and buy matching envelopes. Are you crazy! He didn't come to school today because he couldn't fight Krad!

But you said-

:I wasn't thinking, for a while I forgot he was a Hiwatari, and the one after us!:

You didn't forget, you were the one who said to check on him so I'm going to!...

:...My legacy goes to Risa's son, my...:

Shut it Dark!

I suddenly felt like all the Krad's in the world couldn't stop me right then. I had the heart of a warrior, or just-

:A boy in love with his hunter...::

Oh? What's with the jokes again?

:It got you in the house didn't it?hehehe:

Ugh!

Dark just kept giggling while I went to look for Satoshi, or at least any signs that he had been there this morning. I walked past the table that had held the two glasses during the previous night. The table was now bare, it was empty like my mind. The only thought that went through was 'find Satoshi' and the only one that came out was 'not in this room.'

I came up to a door at the end of the back hallway. Maybe this was is his room, who knows? I hesitated before opening the door. I took a deep breathe and thrust it open...

When the door was open, I realized that I had also closed my eyes. WhenI opened them the sight allowed me to let out the breath that I was holding. He was here, laying on the bed. Half-dressed, but alive and breathing.

I tiptoed across the room to his bed. His breathing was somewhat shallow and rugged, like he was having a nightmare. He starts to toss and turn, with the occasional groan or mutter.I reached out a hand to his sweaty brow.

Satoshi POV

Daisuke stood in front of me, trembling clearly from fear and the wind that was steadily picking up. The look in his eyes said he clearly didn't trust me. I didn't blame him, but I was changed, there was no more Krad, no more Dark, just us. if he didn't trust me now, how did he ever then?

"Back up!" he cried out.

"Niwa, just listen to me!" I took another step forward and he stepped backwards once more. He seemed to lose his footing for a moment then he staggered and slipped. He went sprawling backwards over the building top and I was helpless. I reached to him, but I knew I was too far to help him. Still, I tried to save him.

I leapt forward and just brushed against his hand one more time. His eyes were huge as he stared into mine. huge and haunted, this Daisuke scared me. He just stared into my eyes as he dropped steadily faster. I stared in horror, not breaking contact, even when I wasn't sure if I was even looking at his eyes anymore. Then I heard the sickening thud. I screamed in agony, for him, for me, and my stupidity.

I nearly fall off the bed when I jump up. My breath is short and I can't seem to catch it. There's not enough air coming into my now lacking lungs. Had I been holding my breath?

(((You fool, you see how he torments you! Casting spells on you while you're sleep! He dares enter here again!)))

Wh-wh-what?

(((He's here, breathe!)))

I looked up into a hazy rainbow until I put my glasses on. My vision cleared and there he stood. I saw one of his hands reach out for me and it rested on my back. He began to move it in small circles with an occasional pat every now and again.

"Breathe Satoshi, calm down and focus on deep breaths." his sweet voice murmured.

I could hear Krad growling about something, but I ignored him. This was my state of euphoria, total bliss and I was hyperventilating. How stupid is that!

Daisuke POV

:Look at him!:

I know...

It seemed like my attempts at soothing him were in vain, but still I continued. Just an excuse to touch and be close to him. I continued muttered sooting messages and supportive pats on his back. He seemed to calm down a little bit and in a few minutes he was better. A little shaken up, but a lot better.

The next time he was out of breathe was for a completely new reason. He leaned forward and I knew what this meant. The instant his lips touched mine and I could feel his sweaty skin against mine I felt that shock. That little explosion that went off in my body everytime that he so much as looked at me. It was the third time he had kissed me, but because of my clumsiness it might as well had been the first.

He pulled away and stared deep into my eyes. There was a sadness, a sort of lonliness in his eyes. A longing...

"Lay down with me, " he whisperred.

I studied him for a moment wondering if this was a trick, but he seemed sincere. So I consented and soon found myself snuggled up in his arms.

Satoshi POV

(((My love...)))

Thank you...

(((...It pains me to say this...)))

Then don't...

(((Will you miss me, just tell me that, will you forget me like the beauty of yesterday's sunrise until you watch it again?)))

I'll miss the company...

(((Will you miss me?)))

I'll miss the thrill...

(((Me?)))

The hunt...

(((Me!)))

...The hunt, it was only fun then now it's serious, it's about hearts, love and trust. It's no longer a game of cat and mouse...

(((...Goodbye)))

Good times...

'I wonder how he'll take it...'

Daisuke POV

I feel like a part of me is drifting. Is this what happens when you fall in love, you seriously give a part of you away?

:Only sometimes Dai-chan...:

A tear slides down Satoshi's face. I feel it hit my hair and turn around to see it, just as he turns away from me. An emotion is etched across his face. I just stare at him, wondering what could possibly be the matter.

Dark?

:...Yeah:

When another loved one is introduced you don't have to kick all others out, I know that, I knew that for years, so why do I feel different? Like a part of me is leaving...

:Don't forget me...Daisuke...:

Dark? Didn't you hear me?

:Yeah..I heard you, did you hear me?:

Yeah, I just told you I wouldn't!

:Good, continue cuddling, I'll leave you alone now okay?:

Ok, bye Dark

:Goodbye...:

I looked up to see Satoshi looking at me weirdly. He seemed so sad, maybe he felt it to. Then it hits me like a slap in the face. He finally did it! He captured Dark, that's what this was and he felt guilty about it! My jaw dropped in horror.

Satoshi POV

"Satoshi?" he whimpered, "What did you do?" I knew this was coming, please let him take this well!

"Only what your heart allowed me to..." I retorted

"No!" he cried, leaping from my arms, "No more games, what happened to Dark?" I couldn't respond to that I honestly didn't know and I'm sure my answer showed that. Because I had none, I just looked away from him. Praying for his forgiveness, hoping for his mercy, and wishing for shame and guilt to stop torturing me.

"Will there even be a Dark anymore?" he whisperred.

"Will there be a Krad anymore?" I inquired and the small smile he gave me right then showed that he understood.

"I thought that I had to get the person I loved to love me back and pregnant..." he muttered

"Well seeing as that's not going to happen, maybe there's special rules..." I retorted

"Only for a special person." he smiled then leaned into my arms once more.

'Thank you!'

A small ray of sunlight hit the bed, it was a little triangle of light. To me it represented the love triangles we had to get through to get here.

Daisuke POV

There was a little patch of light on the bed. To me it represented hope, a hope for a new future. A bright new one, without my best friend, but I had gained a new one and a true love all in a week. Satoshi can never replace Dark, nobody can. there will always be a special little place for him, my other in my heart.

I looked back at Satoshi, he was wiping his glasses off. He put them back on his face and looked over at me. I smiled at him, sweetly, letting him know that I didn't blame him, he probably felt guilty. He leaned over and kissed the tip of my nose. I giggled from the contact. Then he spoke.

"You're so cute when you giggle." Of course that made me giggle and even more this time with a blush.

"And even cuter when you're blushing..." he leaned in and his lips met mine. For a second we just stayed like that, anticipating the explosion that would come. It always did, even after the fourth time, and the fifth. It always did...
