Thankies: Yo, Wyrdel here. I would like a chance to thank all my reviewers. And I would also like to thank anyone who reviewed my one-shot, "Sad but True." I would also like to take the time to slap both Shu and Yuki who won't stop bugging me about the shoulder-biting thing in that story. You know perfectly well I wasn't in a right state of mind when I wrote that.
About the chapter: Ah, yes. What can I say about this chapter? It's a little bit more serious than the previous chapters, but it has its moments. I'm setting up for some painful revelations in future chapters. I hope to get a torture scene in later on.
Disclaimer: Yes, I own Dnangel. That's why I'm writing fan fiction. Please note the sarcasm.
By the way, I'm putting a preview for another fic I'll be posting soon at the bottom of the page.
Chapter 4
Dark Decisions
Dark was bored. All day Daisuke and Satoshi had been walking around doing whatever came to their minds. See this movie, play this game. All day and neither one of them would make a move.
For the love of God, Daisuke! Dark groaned, Just kiss him already!!!
Daisuke blushed, Dark! I can't do that!
It's really easy! Just grab him and-
No!!
"You blush a lot, Niwa-kun," Satoshi said, "It really is adorable."
Daisuke blushed even more and looked down. Satoshi paused for a moment before leaning down and briefly pressing his lips against Daisuke's. When they parted Daisuke was staring up at Satoshi with a deep blush on his face. All was silent- all was silent that is, but Dark.
Woohoo! Go Daisuke! Go Daisuke! Get busy! Get busy! I'm too sexy for my cat! Too sexy for my cat!
"I'm sorry," Satoshi said, turning away.
"No!" Daisuke grabbed his arm, "Don't be sorry! I'm happy!"
Satoshi smiled at him and leaned down to kiss him again. This time, this kiss was less hesitant. As they parted, a thought came to Daisuke.
Dark?
Yes, lover boy?
I want to tell Hiwa… Satoshi-kun, about you.
What?! No way!!
Dark I want to be with him!
You can still be with him!
No, it's just…relationships are built on trust! There can't be trust when there are secrets!
"Daisuke-kun?" Satoshi asked, "Is something wrong?"
Why does he interrupt so much?!
He doesn't mean to! Can I tell him?
…go ahead Dark sighed.
"Satoshi-kun. I need to tell you something. And I want you to believe me."
Satoshi nodded for him to continue.
"Um…you know that mark on my back? Well, it's actually a seal."
"A seal?" Satoshi asked, "You mean like the one at your family's shrine?"
"Yes, like that."
How does he know about that? Is he stalking you? Dark wondered
Daisuke ignored him and continued, "It's there because it's sealing a demon inside of me. His name is Dark, and I've known him practically my whole life."
Satoshi said nothing.
See, he thinks you're crazy! Dark laughed, Here, let me help. Bring him away from these people.
Daisuke nodded and, grabbing the still silent Satoshi's arm, pulled him into an alley. As soon as they were away from the public, Daisuke allowed Dark to take over his body. Satoshi remained silent through the transformation.
"Yo!" Dark said with a smile, "Name's Dark. Now I want to talk to you about condoms. I'm not saying you have any diseases but it's better to be safe than sorry when wittle Daisuke is involved…"
Dark! You said you'd help!
I am helping! Protection is important!
"Excuse me," Satoshi said, "I'll be right back. I need to go get something. Please wait here." With that Satoshi walked out of the alley.
"Whoops, scared him off." Dark said.
He'll be back. He said he would, and he will.
"Sure…"
"Well, that was a waste of my time," Krad muttered. "I could've gotten better information from a fortune cookie."
Krad sighed and stuffed the bag of runes into his jacket pocket. He instinctively took note of everyone in the area. His eyes moved lazily over the people until a glint of purple caught his eye.
Dark was leaning against the wall of an alley wearing a school uniform that seemed a little small on him. As Krad watched, Dark moved away from the wall and stretched, unintentionally giving Krad a little show. Krad's eyes trailed over Dark's lithe body. He smiled and quickly moved around behind the demon.
Dark yawned, stretching his arms upward. Humming a bit to himself as he read the graffiti on the wall. "'Larry loves Tina,' 'Mike loves Sandy,' 'Adam loves Steve…'"
Suddenly he was grabbed from behind and his eyes covered. "Guess who."
"Hey! I know that voice! Krad!" Dark jumped around and threw his arms around the demon hunter.
Who's this? Daisuke asked.
Oh, this is Krad, he's… Dark stopped, he's the guy who killed our family.
Dark pulled away and turned his back to Krad. Krad frowned but then took this as the chance to hook his arms around Dark's waist.
"I've missed you."
Daisuke was remained quiet, puzzled about the reason for Dark's sudden discomfort.
"Well, I've been busy I guess." Dark replied, trying not to focus on the fact that he could feel Krad's heartbeat through his back.
"Are you alright?" Krad asked, worried.
"Oh, I'm fine!" Dark said. He turned his head so he could see Krad and took in his scent. "Darn you smell good… Why do you have to smell so good?!"
"Uh…I'm sorry for my smelliness?"
"I'll forgive you…this time…"
Krad laughed and turned Dark to face him. "I really have missed you," he said, turning serious.
"You saw me last night."
Daisuke noted that that was where Dark had gone.
"I know," Krad put his fingers beneath Dark's chin and tilted his head up, "Listen, I have a proposition to make."
"A proposition?" Dark seemed to be having trouble concentrating.
"I'd like you to…be my partner."
"What?"
"My professional partner. It pays very well and if you're not attached to anything, or anyone, here. I'd like you to work with me."
"What?"
Krad smiled, "You don't have to decide right away. After I finish the job I'm doing right now. It shouldn't take much longer."
"It's an interesting proposal." Dark said.
"Well here," Krad put a ticket in Dark's hand, "In five days I'm leaving for London to start another job. If you want to come with me, I'll see you at the airport."
Dark said nothing and stared down at the ticket in his hand.
"I really hope you'll be there."
Dark looked up and found himself mere centimeters away from Krad. Without thinking he lifted his arms up and set them on Krad's shoulders. He leaned up and pressed his lips against Krad.
Krad responded instantly, wrapping his arms around Dark and pulling him as close as humanly possible.
Dark! What are you doing?!
But Dark was no longer paying attention to Daisuke. All that mattered was that Krad kept on kissing him….holding him…. But, even through this ecstasy, part of Dark kept reminding him what Krad had done. So, when they parted for air, Dark turned his face away before Krad would be able to suck him back into that pleasurable abyss.
"Krad…I can't,"
"Why not?" Krad asked, confusion in his eyes.
"It's complicated…" Dark lay his head on Krad's shoulder and closed his eyes. He could feel Krad tightening his grip on him.
"Is there…someone else?"
Dark started to answer, but was stopped.
"Alright, I'm back," Satoshi said, clearing his throat loudly to get the attention of the demon and demon hunter who were still holding each other tightly.
I told you he'd come back! Daisuke said happily.
Krad, on the other hand, was not nearly as happy as Daisuke. He possessively put an arm around Dark's waist and summoned up his most frightening glare.
"And who might you be?" he asked icily.
"You have nothing to do with me, so I see no need to answer me," Satoshi said, then turning to Dark, "Come on. Let's go."
"He's not going anywhere with you, four eyes!" Krad said angrily, pulling Dark even closer, "Is this why it's complicated?"
"Huh?" Dark said stupidly before realization hit him, "You think I'm with Satoshi!?! Ewwww! No way! Like I would ever go after Creepy Boy!"
Satoshi frowned slightly at the nickname.
"Oh, so you're single then?" Krad asked, surprised.
"Of course I am! Satoshi is dating my brother!"
"Oh," he turned to Satoshi, "Sorry for the confusion."
"Whatever," Satoshi said with a dismissive gesture.
He didn't object to us dating! Daisuke said.
I think you're missing the point of this conversation, Daisuke
"Well, let's go," Satoshi said to Dark, "We have to go meet…your brother."
Krad let go of Dark, "I should be going too. I hope I'll see you at the airport."
Dark felt a sinking feeling in his stomach, "Oh…yeah"
Krad headed out of the other end of the alley. Once he was gone, Dark stared down at the ticket in his hand.
Dark…You really like him, don't you?
Of course not! he didn't sound too convincing.
So…what are you going to do?
There's nothing I can do, Dark allowed himself to be transformed back into Daisuke, I'm a uninvited guest in your body, Daisuke. I can't go to London with him. For more reasons then I can explain to you.
Dark… Daisuke held the ticket tightly in his hand, You know you're more important then a guest! And you can tell me anything!
Dark said nothing and faded into Daisuke's subconscious. He didn't say it aloud, yet Daisuke could hear Dark's feeling as though he had spoken it to Daisuke's mind.
I can't be with him. No more than I can stop loving him.
End note: See Shu, I put in the smelly conversation! I told you I would. I don't know what Krad smells like but Shu assures me he smells good. I'd like it if you guys would tell me what Krad smells like. I'll put up the smell that gets submitted the most or the one I like best. Spellcaster Hikaru, I'm counting on you to come up with something creative.
Note about preview: This is a preview for a fic I will be putting up soon. It's a detective story mainly revolving around Dark and Krad. Fun huh?
"Who's there? What's going on?
Snap!
"Ahhh!"
…………
"He's dead! My brother's dead!" Ryo fell to his knees, "No, this isn't happening!"
…………
"It wasn't an accident!"
"What do you mean it wasn't an accident?"
Dark held up the rope, "Look at this! It was cut! Kyo Ichigami was murdered!"
…………
"Krad! Oh, god Krad! KRAD!!!"
And there's my preview, tell me if it sounds interesting.
