Big thanks to my first reviewers and especially Lady Elbereth Tealrose who has agreed to be my beta reader o/
Elbereth-chan has much to teach me!
Now a change I have learned from reading the manga again. Wiz is spelt with one Z while I have done this with 2. So now I have corrected it according to the manga.
Enjoy!
"Oh my look how cheap the strawberries are!"
Usually Daisuke didn't mind shopping with his mother unless she had bags and bags full of heavy food. But today he was annoyed, cranky and bored to tears. He wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
"You think we should take some more for Wiz? You know what a pig he is, if he finds them in the fridge they'll be gone in seconds."
She smiled brightly thinking of the time she came downstairs, only to find the fridge open and a very stuffed bunny like creature laying in front of it smeared with a red substance around his mouth.
"Whatever." Daisuke replied. Daisuke's mother frowned.
"What's wrong love? You don't seem like yourself today." She raised her hand and started to reach for Daisuke's forehead. Daisuke pulled away quickly.
"Geez mom I'm not a kid anymore, you don't need to feel for a temperature, I'm fine."
She lowered her hand.
"Are you sure love?"
"Yes I am, enough already okay, are we done yet?"
"I...I guess so." Daisuke's mother stuttered slightly.
"Finally!" Daisuke started walking back setting a brisk pace.
When they had returned home Daisuke retreated to his room without a word. He didn't even help his mother unpack the shopping. He threw himself down on the couch and gave a heavy sigh. He listened intensely and tried to push his senses too the extreme.
Nothing.
No annoying bantering from Dark nor any witty remarks about him being unkind to his mother and how he was being a bad son. Should he say anything? Should he ask if Dark was around, awake, conscious?
No he didn't want Dark being his annoying self, Daisuke was annoyed enough as it is. But that tingly feeling that made him know that Dark was there, was missing. It disturbed him slightly.
"Dark?"
He cursed himself, he didn't want to talk to Dark but something inside him made him call his name without hesitation. He got no reply. Well he had called him now, Daisuke might as well make sure Dark talked back and explain what he was talking about last night. Why was he being so melodramatic and why Dark had called him Hikari?
Hikari what the hell? Why did that matter, why did he specifically remember that bit?
Wait, what else had Dark said… He couldn't remember. He sat up staring out in front of him. He called again.
"Dark? Will you answer me already? This is getting annoying."
"Dark!"
Daisuke huffed. Dark still wouldn't respond. Daisuke gave up. He never thought Dark would be this broody, but after generations of being around Dark must have really homed in on his brooding skills.
He got up and walked over to his desk and sat down. He might as well start on his homework while Dark was being broody, moody and quiet.
Daisuke tried to concentrate and get on with his home work. His first subject was maths.
He really disliked math. All those numbers confused him to no end. He would rather work on something else, but he knew if he didn't start with math, he would never finish it. For half an hour Daisuke battled his way threw math, and then he got stuck.
A very complicated equation. He remembered the teacher explaind it, but his attention was diverted to the clouds passing by outside the class window.
"Darn it." he exclaimed as he chewed the end of his pencil, he knew he should have paid more attention that day.
Even Harada Risa hadn't been his main focus point that day. He remembered distinctly Dark mocking him to no end that day. They would be on another mission that day and Hiwatari-kun had been staring at him all day.
It freaked him out and Dark kept teasing him about how Hiwatari-kun just wanted to catch Daisuke and make him his love slave.
Daisuke shivered at the thought. Dark always made these stupid comments about how Hiwatari-kun wanted him one way or another. But Hiwatari-kun isn't gay…was he? The things he would say to Daisuke, the way he would stare at him. The way he rejected all girls that dared to get close to him. Maybe Dark had been right about something.
Daisuke shook his head. He was getting distracted he needed to concentrate, but the math was so hard.
"Dark? Could you help out for a minute, I really don't get this."
The benefit of having another person living in him who had been around for hundreds of years, was that Dark knew a lot. He had often come to depend on Dark after another late night mission. Daisuke would be tired ready to jump into bed. Then Dark would remind him about some silly assignment that would have to be done the next day. Daisuke smiled slightly. Dark would never just give the answers to the questions, but he would help Daisuke find the answers. Dark was a pretty good study buddy in that case.
"Oi Dark, come on help me out here, you owe me." Daisuke looked up as if he was trying to see the back of his mind. No answer.
"God you really are a misery guts aren't you?"
Daisuke skipped the question and moved on.
After another hour or so he decided he had done enough. He closed his books and leaned backwards letting out a yawn.He turned his head and looked outside the window. Autumn had come, the sky looked grey and the wind was softly blowing. Brown leaves were being swept up with the wind and would land meters further down and mostly into the garden. Daisuke knew he would have to sweep those up for his mom one of these days.
Wiz jumped up onto his desk and squeaked cutely. Daisuke petted his head.
Wiz was Dark familiar, his pet, the creature that binding him and Dark together.
But somehow Daisuke didn't feel comfortable being around Wiz anymore.
A sound alerted Daisuke bringing him back to reality. He removed his hand quickly, and realised where the sound was coming from, he looked down.
Wiz was looking up at him and his attitude had completely changed. He wasn't the sweet fluffy bunny like before. His eyes had narrowed and a purple glaze covered his eyes, he was growling angrily. Reflecting his anger, purple black electricity was circling around him. Pure anger, pure hatred.
Daisuke roughly pushed his chair back making it fall over. He stared at Wiz, he was shocked and felt….guilty? Why? He hadn't done anything to make him feel guilty.
But Wiz was never like this, he didn't remember his grandfather ever mentioning Wiz being angry.
He started backing up from Wiz and ran down the stairs. He felt so guilty, he felt like Wiz would never forgive him. But why? He hadn't done anything!
He ran for the front door.
"Daisuke?" His mother called after him as she heard him run down the stairs.
He ignored her as he opened the door and just ran. He kept running he wasn't even sure where he was running to or even why he was running. But he knew he had to get out, to get away.
He was exhausted when he finally stopped running. He bent over holding his knees as breathed hard.
As he calmed down and caught his breath he observed his surroundings. He was at the big fountain on the outskirts of town.
The same place as where he had his fight with Dark.
BADUM! Wheehee chapter 2
