--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come here..."
A masculine voice called out,
Huh? Where am I?
"Come here..."
What the fuck is going on here!?
"Come to me..."
...seems like there's nowhere else to go...
"That's closer..."
Dark's eyes lost more light every step he took towards the voice.
"Come to me..."
...where am I?
"It doesn't closer..."
Wha? Who are you?
"Names are of no importance...closer..."
...
"Yes...keep on walking..."
As he went closer, vines started draping over his shoulders and tangled up his feet, soon he was suspended in midair, his feet tied together, and his arms spread out like a cross.
What do you want with me?
"I want..."
The vines started wrapping themselves around his waist.
What do you want?
Suddenly a huge mouth showed up, with big red lips and big white teeth,
"I want your soul."
...
The mouth laughed and disappeared. Dark was getting more drained by the second, he struggled a bit but each move he made caused him to get more tired.
Krad...Daisuke...
"They won't rescue you...your soul is all mine."
Krad...
"Krad won't come...he wants you dead, just like when he killed your teacher."
That's a lie, sensei didn't get killed...but if it is what Krad wishes...
The kaitou went completely limp under the spirit's control, his eyes blank and lifeless as he hung there, entangled in vines.
"Yes...your soul tastes so sweet..."
------------------------
Krad flew around searching for the blasted artwork that targeted Dark. He passed the Niwa boy and Satoshi-sama twice now; they were searching, just the same as him. After flying for hours with no luck, he landed back in front of Daisuke's room; he went in only to hear the redhead's panicking, "Dark! Dark! Wake up please!" Daisuke turned around and saw Krad, "He's fading, what's going on!?" Golden eyes locked onto Dark, half of him seemed transparent almost as if he was invisible.
"Dark!"
Krad stared in horror as the kaitou became less visible, suddenly; Krad whirled around at the presence of another spirit. He came face to face with Daisuke's painting, what the? It's the same painting as that time...There was dark energy coming from it as though it might strike at any moment. "You! Where did you see this painting?" Daisuke looked baffled and shrugged, "It just came into my mind." The demon grabbed the painting and threw it outside and sent blasted his energy ball after it, it exploded in midair, they heard the spirit shriek in agony as it dispersed. It's not over yet...there's still another one somewhere...
"Is it over?" Daisuke asked.
"There's still another one...we don't have much more time."
"Is it close?"
"Yea..."
"Hikari-kun, come with me! It might be in the house!"
Satoshi just looked at the redhead and nodded then the boys sprinted out of the room in search for the possessed item. Once they were gone, the spirit took the opportunity to speak with Krad, the large mouth formed in thin air and they smiled mockingly at the demon.
"Greetings, O'frozen light."
Golden eyes narrowed, "What do you want?"
The mouth laughed spilling saliva on the ground, "I came to tell you a message, from the one you call Dark Mousy."
"What have you done with him? Hand him over right now!"
The laughing didn't cease, "What if I told you that he doesn't want to come back?"
"I'd say you were lying."
"Ah...but how can you be so sure? It was his wish to disappear from this deranged world."
He's trying to trick me, I can't listen to him.
"It is no lie, this "Dark" has stopped all struggles and I can tell you this, his soul is the sweetest one yet."
That snapped the last thread, Krad sent out a blast at the mouth which just disappeared but the laughing didn't stop right away, it faded out in an echo, Daisuke and Satoshi raced in, "What happen-ARGH!" The redhead slipped on the puddle of spit and landed on his butt, "Eww...what happened?" But Krad paid him no heed; he was looking all over the room looking for something, anything that was suspicious. Abruptly, a glimmer caught his eye, he ran to where Dark laid and look out the necklace, it was glowing, glowing black, so that's it...Dark Mousy, you were a fool to keep this.
------------------------------------
"What's this?"
A shrug, "Just something I picked up."
"It's really nice..."
"Then keep it, it's your now."
"Seriously!? Just like that, you're giving it away...to me!?"
A nod, "You want it or not?"
"Sure, thanks..."
"Hn."
"It's nice like this isn't it Krad?"
"Yea..."
"I don't think I'm ever going to take this off."
"Don't' be ridiculous, it's only a necklace."
"A necklace from YOU, it's the first sign of affection of any sort I've ever seen from you, so it's special."
A blush, "Whatever."
A grin, and a laughed, "I never knew you could be shy!"
"Shut up!"
"Haha, don't get mad, come on let's get off this roof, these wings are getting stiff."
"Whatever."
----------------------------------
Krad grabbed the necklace and watched it glow, he was about to crush it when a voice spoke in his head, are you sure you want to be doing that? For all you know, your precious little black angel could be in there. Krad stopped, there had to be a way to destroy the thing without hurting Dark, he glanced at Dark who was even less visible now.
((What can I do?))
There's a spell that would allow you to go into the artwork itself, but it's one of the most complicated spells known. I myself cannot perform such spells but I can tell you how it's done...
((Right, so the old man did teach us useful things...how did it go again?))
Krad held the trinket in one hand while holding a feather in another hand, he began chanting long verses of spells when the feather started to glow, he stabbed it at the necklace and the room was surrounded by light.
