((…)) Krad
---------------------------------------------
/Dark! Dark answer me/
There was no reply, suddenly a jolt of memories flashed into Daisuke's mind, the beginning, meeting Krad, mentor, separation, and tears. Before Krad could strike again, Daisuke wailed, "DARK!"
Krad stopped midway and looked at the boy with surprise, "What?"
Daisuke sobbed, "Stop, please, Dark, Dark he, he's…he's." Golden eyes narrowed, his mouth opened to say something, but before he could say it, a bright light surrounded the room. When golden and red eyes focused again, Daisuke saw Satoshi lying on the floor beside Krad, and Krad saw Dark on the floor bleeding beside the Niwa boy, his eyes widened. Daisuke was suddenly released from the cross; he hopped down and ran to Dark, "Dark! Dark! Get up!"
Krad walked over to where the fallen thief and the boy were, he kneeled down and checked for a pulse, it seemed that Dark wasn't willing to die just yet. Krad picked him up as carefully as he could; he whirled around to meet face to face with Daisuke, "Where is your house?" The redhead was lost for words, he looked around the room and spotted Satoshi on the ground, Krad followed his gaze, "Grab Satoshi-sama and show me where you house is, you can control that rabbit can't you?" Daisuke complied without knowing what was happening, he picked up Satoshi and looked a With who understood the situation and turned into black wings.
The two figured flew out of the building and into the night sky, Krad held onto Dark as though he might disappear any second now, and Daisuke was struggling with Satoshi's weight, finally Daisuke managed to carry Satoshi around in a comfortable way, he looked a Krad who looked like he could go homicidal any moment there. Daisuke couldn't risk it, especially when Dark was in his arms, "You know…he loved you right?" Krad didn't answer, the redhead pressed on, "I…I saw his memories…he was crying when you flew away…?" Krad looked down, his golden eyes were hidden under his bangs, he hugged Dark even closer.
((Dark…))
Daisuke looked at the blue haired boy in his arms, it was hard to carry someone was taller then him. /He looks so peaceful…and beautiful…/ He couldn't help but to blush at the thought.
The redhead started descending towards his house and Krad followed, they landed on the balcony, the redhead walked through the door and set the other boy down onto the couch, Krad walked in and put Dark onto the bed. The demon wiped the bangs out of Dark's face, Daisuke was surprised at the demon's caring gesture, but then he looked at Dark and ran out of the room to fetch the first aid kit from downstairs.
On the counter there was a note, the redhead picked it up and read it/Dear Daisuke and Dark, in order to celebrate all the successful item's you've stolen, you grandpa, your dad and I have decided to go to the hot springs for awhile. Love mom./ Daisuke couldn't believe it, he grabbed the first aid kit and ran back upstairs.
Krad looked at Dark, he had gotten his coat and shirt off to inspect the wounds, it was his fault, he had forgotten that the kaitou could cast such spells. Dark had always used his spells to help or defend the weak, even now. Him on the other hand, he used his for evil intentions like what he had done tonight, it was all meant to be for that Niwa boy. He had even killed his own mentor with a curse he created, Dark never figured out why the old man died, but he knew the truth. Suddenly Daisuke came in with the kit, he handed it to Krad who snatched it away without a word of thanks, he started to press against the wounds making the blood stop, Dark winced as he felt the pain.
Daisuke stood behind Krad watching the demon's hands work on the wounds; he finally asked a question that lingered in his mind for awhile, "Why didn't we go to Hiwatari-kun's house?"
The hunter didn't bother to look up, he kept on working on the wounds, "Satoshi-sama's house is empty, only he lives there so there's nothing to use on the wounds, and if his father found you or Dark he would kill both of you, I personally wouldn't mind you being killed but not him." He gestured at Dark/he cares about him…/
Daisuke walked to where Satoshi laid/so you've been alone all this time…/ Suddenly icy blue eyes opened causing Daisuke to lose his balance and fall…onto Satoshi. "Hi-Hiwatari-kun! You're awake!"
Satoshi looked at the other boy wearily; suddenly he realized who the boy was, "Niwa? Wha…where am I?"
"You're at my house…"
The blue haired boy looked around and saw Krad, his eyes widened, "Krad? What's he doing here? …you can get off now."
Daisuke got off the boy and tugged his arm and gestured towards the door, "I'll explain to you outside."
The blue haired boy followed the redhead outside, "Well?"
The redhead smiled and started going down the stairs, "I'm going to make drinks, I'll tell you in the kitchen."
Krad stood up, he was finally able to finish fixing up the wound that was right by Dark's heart, ((…you are like me…)) He looked at the kaitou, ((you live on, even when the whole wants you dead. You're stronger then me, you have no fear of living and you're full of hope, always.)) The white figure kneeled again, ((You have to live…if only because I know, somehow, that I too will survive if you do…))
It's been three days since the thief was injured; the kaitou still hadn't so much as to open an eye. Daisuke and Satoshi were at school, Krad was watching Dark again as he had done for the past few days. The violet haired boy stirred and groaned, he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a blob of white, soon, his vision focused, "Krad?"
Krad who had been looking out the window whirled around in surprise, "You're awake…"
Dark looked at him, "Well so I am! Why am I here? Why are you here? Where's Daisuke?"
The blonde shrugged, "At school would be my best guess," was all he could answer, he didn't know how to explain that they had been separated from the boys' bodies.
The thief looked around, he tried to sit up but ended up falling back down, "Man, I feel like shit…"
Krad walked over and helped him sit up, he didn't know why but tears were sliding down his cheek, he looked at Dark with the eyes of a lost puppy, "Tell me Dark…why do we cry?"
Dark reached out and pulled the demon into an embrace, "Because it just shows us that we have hearts." The two stayed hugging for some time before Dark let go, …Krad…you finally let your light shine…the light in your heart shines far brighter than any star in the sky… "Krad…why do people lie to themselves?" The demon looked at him strangely, Dark shook his head and smiled, "Opps, my bad, I got you all bloody."
Krad stood up and shrugged, suddenly Daisuke bursted in, "Dark! You're awake!"
The thief smiled heartily, "You forgot to mention alive and well, not to mention hungry."
Daisuke smirked "Right, I'll go grab something."
And he ran downstairs as Satoshi entered the room, Dark looked at Satoshi intensely, "So, you're here too…Satoshi Hiwatari, no, Satoshi Hikari." Satoshi stayed silent, as did Krad, Dark continued, "Don't you think it's about time to stop? Don't you think this lie's gone on long enough? For generations now the Hikaris' have called themselves Hiwatari to hide from the truth. You knew didn't you? Yet you still hide the light you possess, I think it's about time you stop living a lie."
Daisuke stepped in with a tray of food, "Hiwatari-kun…is it true? You're a Hikari?" Satoshi nodded, all of a sudden, Dark's eyes widened and went blank; he fell back onto the bed motionless. Daisuke dropped the tray and ran to the kaitou, "Dark! What happened?"
Krad stopped him, "Don't get any closer, the spirit is still stirring…"
The redhead looked at the demon, "Spirit?" Daisuke took a closer look, there was a black aura surround Dark. "How…that's never happened before…"
"Apparently he used up all his energy on the spell he cast the other day and he was too weak from the injuries to build himself a barrier."
Daisuke was speechless, "What can we do?"
The blonde looked at him, "We find the source of the spirit and seal it."
Daisuke nodded and was about to run out of the room, "Wait, I'll come too."
"Hiwa- Hikari-kun…okay." The boys ran out of the house and Krad looked at Dark, his eyes showed panic that no one had caught.
((Just you wait, when I find out what's behind this, I'll kill it.))
He ran onto the balcony and flew off. After Krad was gone, the necklace that hung on Dark's neck which no one had noticed dangled and glowed an eerie black glow.
