Tyan: Hello, another chapter, Yay! I'm starting to make this almost too complecated for myself, but I'll figure out a way to make it work. I'll just call Ethel, she'll know how to make it work!
Dark: Don't call her!
Tyan: You don't have a say in this!
Dark: What! I always have a say!
Tyan: Not anymore!
Krad: That's funny...Hey Dark, you want to try kill her again.
Tyan: No! Don't you two even think about it!
Dark: (Smirks.) Sounds like fun to me.
Tyan: No! Hurry, start the chapter!
Chapter 12: Old Memories Part II
Nothing but dark...Everywhere he turned, darkness. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't find his voice...Someone following him, someone trying to stop him from getting the truth. He turned just in time to see a blur go past him, knocking him hard onto the ground. He stumbled up and ran. He didn't look back, he just ran. He couldn't see anything in front of him. As he ran into someone...Satoshi. He looked up scared and confused. What's Satoshi doing here? How could he be here? He looked behind him again, seeing a shadow coming in on him fast. "Satoshi! Help!" Satoshi didn't move, he just stared down at him. After a moment he spoke. "Dark...I will not help you. You have had this coming. And now you'll get what you deserve. After all the artworks you killed, leaving them only shells and corpses. Did you really think I'd help you!" "I'm not Dark and I didn't kill them...I only sealed their power." He looked up now his eyes showed anger and sadness. "You don't think your Dark then look for yourself. He looked to his left to see a huge mirror that he was sure wasn't there a moment ago. He jumped in shock. He looked like Dark. 'How can I be..Dark!' he thought looking into the mirror. "How...when...I-I can't be Dark!" "Oh but you are."
He looked back to see the guy in his room earlier. "K-Kitawa?"
"Daisuke wake up!"
"Zzz"
"Daisuke!"
Daisuke jumped up looking around to find Emiko and Kosuke staring at him and Emiko was beside him while Kosuke was at the foot of the bed.
"Daisuke, are you okay?"
Emiko looked at him in consern.
"I-I'm fine. Why's everyone staring at me?"
"We heard you calling for Dark in your sleep."
Kosuke spoke seriously, but it was hard to tell after he yawned in the middle of the sentence.
"I was..."
(Dark?)
((What! I'm trying to sleep!))
(Dark, did you hear me.)
((Yeah I did...Now leave me alone so I can go to sleep!))
Daisuke looked at his clothes and realized he was in a cold sweat.
"Daisuke. If you need us, we'll be in the living room."
Kosuke pulled Emiko out, she still had a worried look and he was sure that her mother instincts had kicked in, making her think he was her 4 year old son that had a bad dream and needed someone to tell him that everything was alright. Kosuke shut the door, leaving Daisuke alone in his room.
(That dream...It seemed so real.)
((Stop rambling on and go to sleep.))
(But Dark)
((It was only a dream, now go to sleep!))
He let out a sigh in defeat and layed back down in the covers going to sleep.
Harada household
Risa looked at Riku in anger as she slowed down and stopped a few feet in front of Risa.
"Let Riku go!"
Riku smirked.
"Let her go!"
Risa was shaking in anger, nothing seemed to matter now. Not what she was wearing how she looked...Nothing. Riku lunged at Risa, Risa moved with in-human speed grabbing the necklace around Riku's neck braking it off. Riku looked at her in shock and closed her eyes, dropping to the floor. Risa stood there to what seemed like forever.
"How'd I do that?"
She looked at the broken necklace in her hand. 'Was this controlling her?' Memories of the necklace came flowing back to her...The Necklace of Fallen Angels. 'Wait. Dark stole this! Why would he give it to Riku?' She walked to her sister and got to her knees looking at her.
"Riku. Are you okay?"
She shook her sister a little, but she didn't stir. She watched her and noticed she wasn't breathing. She checked the pulse..Nothing.
"Riku..No it can't be! Your the strong one. You, you can't die!"
She could feel tears coming and she ran for the phone in her room, dialing 911 trying to get a hold of herself, but the tears wouldn't stop. She couldn't make them stop. She wasn't atrong not like Riku, Riku could keep a level head. She couldn't.
"911 Emergency."
"My...My sister, she's not breathing...She doesn't have a pulse. I...I-I think she's dead..."
The park
Krad flinched, he felt the control he had on Riku disappear. 'So she got herself killed...How unfortunate, looks like I'm going to have to get another person to bring down Dark.' He ran grabbing Satoshi without any trouble.
"You can't get away from me."
He turned Satoshi around and looked at him smirking, while Satoshi had his usual emotionless gaze. Krad took a breathe and brought himself closer to Satoshi. Satoshi tried to pull away as Krad pulled him closer to himself. Satoshi could feel Krad's body touching him now. His struggling stopped when he found that he couldn't get away from Krad. Krad held onto him not ever wanting to let go. He wanted to taste him and keep him by his side forever. He softly touched his lips against Satoshi. Satoshi looked wide-eyed and found himself kissing him back. This made Krad only want him more as he deepend the kiss. Satoshi slowly closed his eyes giving into Krad's strong arms.
Kitawa Mansion-library
He paced the room thinking to himself. The book told some of his answers and raised only more questions. 'Who's Rika. And why did that kid come up in the book? He reminds me so much of Daisuke when we were kids.' (If you haven't figured it out, Dark's name used to be Daisuke.)
"Kitawa, stop pacing. Your going to make a hole in the floor!"
"I'm sorry. It's just driving me insane, that I can't try to kill him now."
"You have to change your actions. The book says that you try to kill him right off and he defeats you."
"I don't care what the book says!"
"Then leave and try to kill him now! I can asure you that you won't come back alive!"
Kitawa sighed realizing she was right.
"Fine. I'll wait...But it's only because I don't want to die!"
She rolled her eyes.
"Sure it is."
Niwa Household-Daisuke's room
He woke up to find the morning light coming in on him from his broken window. He sighed in relief, glad that no one had noticed it yet. He looked at his alarm clock and jumped out of bed.
"I'm late!"
((Stop screaming!))
"I have ten minutes to get to school! So, tell me why I should stop screaming!"
"Daisuke! Calm down, you don't have school till next friday! Today starts spring break, remember!"
Emiko yelled from the kitchen. She shook her head and pored Daiki some coffee.
"Thank god, I really didn't want to to have to run all the way to school."
((Now shut-up already!I'm trying to sleep! Jeez, you people act like you don't know what quiet is!))
"Okay, okay."
Daisuke looked though his closet finding him a pair of blue jeans a plain black t-shirt that fit him losely and a jacket that Dark hadn't worn in a good while. He walked past his mirror and glanced at it. He jumped back startled by what he saw.
((What is it now!))
"I...It's...My hair!"
Daisuke looked back in the mirror letting Dark get a look and he stared at his reflection a bit confused. Daisuke's hair was a very dark red and his roots were now black. Dark didn't know what to say.
((H-how can...what the hell!))
"I have no idea how it got like this."
((Hey that black hair has a purple tint to it! Ha ha, your turning into me!))
"Darrrk. Your not helping any!"
((I know, but it's still funy! Ha ha!))
"Leave me alone. It's not funny! And how can I see my reflexion in the first place? Usually I can only see you in the mirror."
((I don't know go talk to Daiki and Emiko, they might know.))
"Okay, it's worth a shot."
He walked downstairs looking around for Daiki and Emiko. He spotted Daiki in the kitchen, but Emiko was nowhere in sight. He sighed and walked over to Daiki that was sitting down looking through his morning paper.
"Grandpa?"
"Yes Dark?"
"What! I'm not Dark!"
Daisuke looked at him stunned. He blinked a few times, hoping that he had maybe he had mis-heard Daiki. Daiki set down his newspaper in front of him. He looked Daisuke a moment then spoke.
"Daisuke, do you realize that you sound exactly like Dark?"
"I didn't even notice it to tell you the truth."
He scratched the back of his head now a bit embarassed.
"Hmm...I see and did you notice that your hair is darker too?"
"Yeah, that's what I came in here to talk to you about...Do you have any idea what's going on?"
He looked at Daiki now with a serious look on his face that never really quite suited him. Daiki thought a moment then spoke as if it pained him to remember.
"There's only one explanation. I want you to think about Riku and let Dark out...I would like to see if my theory is correct."
Daisuke nodded and brought up all the memories he could think of.
((That's not going to work. Just pull out the picture of Riku in your back pocket...It'll be alot easier!))
Dark spoke a little excited, he thoughts showed he up to no good, but hey that was usually like him to be that way. Daisuke pulled out the picture of Riku and instantly Dark took the chance and was let out.
"Mm...Just as I thought..."
Dark looked himself over realizing he still looked like Daisuke. (And its nothing perverted I know how you guys think...Well more like how my mind thinks, but ah well.)
"What! How can I still...Daiki! What's going on!"
"I was just about to tell you."
"Fine, then tell!"
Dark said as he crossed his arms.
"Have you ever heard of the Saki clan?"
"Yeah, but what does it have to do with this?"
"Everything! Now, the Saki clan was prosperous for thousands of years. It was the Niwa, the Hikari, and the Ayumi clan formed together. There was a curse placed on two people, in the beginning of the Saki clan. One was a thief and the other was his friend that the clan thought to be his partner in stealing. From them on they had to share bodys with there decendents. His friend blamed the thief for him being cursed and sought revenge on him and the Saki clan. The theif did too wanted vengence for what he did to him and his friend, but after the betrayal of his friend he stayed back in the body he shared only coming out only to steal. He wanted to one day find a Saki artwork that caused the curse and break it to free them. It was the only one of its kind to be made by all three clans. It had tremendous powers. It could grant the wish of any decendent and it could also control a decendent. But it could only grant one wish after it was broken then the curse is supposed to break on the thief's friend. The thief didn't know of this and after years of different bodys they had forgotten there reasons. The theif kept stealing, not knowing his reason to steal, and the friend had a personal hate for the theif and his clan without remembering his reason to. Over time the Saki clan broke up after most of them were killed in a accident that no one is sure what the details are of what happened, but the remainders that lived branched out into the Niwa and Hikari clans. The ones left over became the Ayumi's, but they disappeared a hundred years ago. No one knows what has become of them...Well, my guess is that the artwork has been broken,but there hasn't been a wish yet."
(Dark it's the necklace! Riku's wearing it!)
((I know and I don't think that Krad took it off.))
(We have to go. We have to see if she's okay!)
((I know.))
Dark turned andwalked out of the kitchen leaving Daiki without an explanation as Wiz jumped on Dark's right shoulder on his way outside. Dark shut the door a bit loud from the rush to get to Riku's house. He was about to cross the street to the park when he almost got ran over by an ambulance passing by, that was going well over the speed limit and its lights were flashing and the siren turned on as they turnmed a corner going toward Riku's house. He touched Wiz's head and he transformed into Drak's wings and he took flight trying to avoid people seeing his new face. He easily passed the Aambulance and could see the Harada's house coming up.
Harada household
'Why did it have to be you. I wish it was me who died not you!' She dropped the phone and looked at the necklace that was now starting to glow. The person on the other line was trying to get her attention to see if she was okay, but she wasn't listening now. Her wide-eyes were fixed on the glowing necklace. The light grew and grew, Risa shielded her eyes from it as it lit up the whole house.
Outside
Dark watched the house light up then it instantly was gone. He sped up and reached the Riku's window and watched from the balcony as Risa fell to the floor. He quickly picked the lock nad walked inside and Picked up Risa setting her down on the bed beside her. He saw feet from the doorway and walked out leaving Risa for a momeent. He saw Riku laying there not moving. His eyes grew. they couldn't be...They're not. He watched a bit relieved as Riku started to stir. He watched her for a moment thinking that Risa would soon wake too. Riku openned her eyes and slowly sat up with a hand on her head. She cameface to face with who she thought was Daisuke.
"Dai...Daisuke! What are you doing here? Wait how did I get here!"
((Fhew! She doesn't remember what she did.))
"You passed out me and your sister where taking you back here."
"What's wrong with your voice? You sound like...Like Dark!"
"What! I mean...I sound like this because I have a cold."
He gave a fake cough and sniffled to complete the lie.
"Oh...I don't know what I was thinking. It's not like your Dark."
"Right because I"m not Dark."
He said nervously. Just after he said that he heard the ambulance pull up. He looked at Risa and saw she wasn't moving and thought of the necklace's wish.
((She couldn't of...))
(Couldn't of what?)
((I think she wished for Riku to live. Daisuke...Risa took Riku's death for her.))
(She's...Risa's...It could be...No!)
Daisuke was breaking down now and Dark could feel it. He'd lost a friend and his first love.
"Daisuke, why are the paramedics here?"
Riku was at the door and had opened it just in time for the paramedics to start scrambling in.
"She's up here."
He watched the paramedics come up to him and he pointed to Riku's room and they went in with all of there equipment and went to try to save her. Dark walked back downstairs to see Riku standing in front of the open door in shock.
"Daisuke. Why are the paramedics in my room?"
She spoke calm, but he could tell if he told her she would be brought to tears.
"I'm sorry Riku...But i-it's Risa...She's...She's not moving."
