Episode 14: Dark and Krad

"Dark!" Himeno's scream echoed across earth. Suddenly she glared at the last devil. She looked determined and she felt like she was filled with flames of anger. They did not just exterminate her best friend and brother in front of eyes in the past, but they also hurt someone she loved dearly whom she reluctantly became a Guardian for. It made her enraged. She raised her right arm and the staff on her palm suddenly transformed into a bow, similar to that night when she gave a miracle and colorful view just for Daisuke and Riku.

"I'll kill you!" Her eyes were red, different than usual. She pulled the silver string and let go of a magical arrow that suddenly appeared. It was as big as the energy arrow that attacked Dark but golden and it headed towards her opponent. It didn't move and was hit directly on the same spot where Dark scorched him. It screamed loudly and became dust. Himeno turned around to her right and saw Dark waking up, "Dark! Are you all right?" She was very worried about him and Daisuke too. She didn't intend to lose any of them. She started apologizing, "I am sorry I should have-" She paused when Dark's finger blocked her lips. He smiled handsomely at her.

He shook his head from side to side, "It's not your fault. I wanted to protect you too." His eyes sparkled, he wasn't bluffing but he was saying the truth and a moment later, he lost all his pain. 'Where did the wound go?' Daisuke wondered and Dark looked the direction to the Niwa Residence.

-

"Oto-san!" Daisuke entered Koosuke and Emiko's room worried with Himeno close behind. They saw the wounded Koosuke on the one single bed beside the window and he looked at his son after laughing, with sweat drops, "Welcome back, Daisuke, Himeno." He coughed.

"Koosuke-san!"

"Oto-sann!" Everyone screamed together.

He chuckled quietly, "I am all right… This is the only thing I can do for this family, I don't have any power like Emiko-san or Daiki and anyway I am not from the Daiki family to begin with." Daisuke's eyes trembled, his father hasn't been around for nearly all his life but still he came to protect him and Dark. He saw Dark as his son like Emiko too, he accepted Himeno as well. It was like a big family.

"Make sure you don't die…" Himeno's voice arose and everyone turned to face her. She looked dead serious, "Or else I'll beat you up in the other world, I am a Guardian after all!" She showed a huge fist and Emiko stood up. Before she could scold Himeno, she started to talk more. "I already think of you as my father… I never thought nor cared for anything or anyone related to a father figure because I hate the 'father' that I had before. However Daisuke's and Emiko's words encouraged me, I felt this family is my family…" She shut her eyes and light tears streamed down, "I feel comfortable being in this family and I don't regret being here…" Everyone was touched and Dark inside Daisuke had an unusual feeling. Koosuke nodded, he understood well what Himeno had said, and he thought she wouldn't say it out loud.

Suddenly, the ground started moving slowly and quietly. "This is not an ordinary earthquake," Daiki was at the door with his narrowed eyes, "The time has come…" He looked at Daisuke with a determined look, "Go Daisuke, I know you'll stop this repeated incidence."

"Grandpa…" Daisuke's eyes trembled and sweat drops formed on his head after Daiki held Himeno's waist unwilling to let go of her with tears raining all over everyone. Veins immediately popped out from Himeno's temple, ready with her fist. She punched Daiki's head and a baby sound sounded from Daiki's mouth. Daisuke sighed. "Stop hugging her…"

-

Satoshi's eyes narrowed as he looked at the glass of orange juice his father served. He couldn't refuse and drank. A small tear drop pill entered his mouth and through his neck, resulting in a bad stomach ache. "What the-?" Satoshi's legs weakened and he had sweat drops trailing down the side of his face and forehead. He was holding onto his chest. His father sitting behind the desk looked calm and proud. He looked at his son with a wicked grin. His plan worked by letting his son swallow the 'Queen Tear', a drop of powerful element that will make Krad take complete control of Satoshi and Krad's inner desire would surface. "Oto-san?" Satoshi's eyes widened and then he screamed. White wings protruded from his back and his blue hair grew long and changed to blonde. His right eye turned golden and a grin formed on his face.

-

"Can you sense them too?" Himeno looked to her left at Dark. He nodded. They were on the air flying, Dark with wings and Himeno like uh … 'superman'. "More are coming!" The waves near the offshore were getting stronger and stronger. It nearly buried the beach. The citizens were running out of the country for safety, with Riku and Risa helping out.

Risa was still surprised by what she saw previously. Dark and Daisuke were the same people, or rather the same body, all those times she never knew, it was expected that her fortune always tells her that Dark loves her, on the contrary, Daisuke was the one who loved her. She couldn't let go of the tears, she felt that she betrayed herself instead of the other way.

Dark looked at the twins and half closed his eyes. He looked at Himeno beside him and smiled. "Himeno, follow me!" He landed on the ground and Himeno looked lost. She followed him and landed near him, just behind the twins. Almost all the refugees looked amazed by the appearance of Dark Mousy and his Guardian. The breeze lifted and both the twins' eyes grew wide. They turned. "Dark-san?"

"Niwa-kun?" They saw Dark and Himeno looking different.

The twins' eyes trembled and Dark smiled, patting their heads, "Don't worry, girls! I promise that we will protect you and be back as soon as this job done." The girls snapped and smiled together, nodding. "Thank you!" He thanked them and looked at Himeno, "Himeno, watch over them and the people! The devils are on their way!"

Himeno flinched and moved forward, "Wait! I'm supposed to protect you!" She shouted; she couldn't let Daisuke and Dark out of her sight. "I was born to protect you and other than that, I won't do anything else!" She said out loud.

"Yes, that's true…" Dark looked up, he looked a bit different, he was like an adult, "But I don't want to repeat the same thing and do not want to use you in that kind of way." He looked down warmly at Himeno and narrowed his eyes, "Himeno, I promise I will come back so protect them. You don't want to lose someone like Rika…" Her eyes shut and he flapped his wings wide. "See ya, Himeno…" He flew towards the sky.

"I…" Himeno's lips moved and he paused, "I will help you once I'm finished with all the devils." He turned and looked a bit surprised. "I will protect everyone, even though it's only because of you that I was created…" She looked at him as if she was shining, "So please wait for me, I'll be there as soon as I can." He was a little provoked, it seemed like he was a bit useless.

He harrumphed, "I won't be defeated easily." He flew away.

"Good Luck, Daisuke, Dark!" Himeno screamed from the bottom of her heart. He smiled wider and flew higher. Himeno smiled and nodded. "I promise!" A tear drop streaked her right cheek, "Don't die, Dark…" The devils were right behind her as the people started screaming in fright.

She turned and three-quarters of her face could be seen. "I will not let you lay a finger on any of these citizens!" She vanished from that spot when the storm surrounded her. A moment later, she was in the air, ready to attack.

-

Dark was above the Central Museum where the incident happened. He can feel that the 'Black Wings' were still moving and wanted to put the world on hold. "This is it… the time to continue the ritual…" Dark murmured. Suddenly he turned and avoided the white wings attack from Krad, surprised. "Krad?"

Krad's eyes were evil and scary. Even his laugh was different than usual. "Long time no see, Dark Mousy!" His eyes narrowed evilly, "I need to dispose of you in order to have the only 'me'." He laughed more and both started to fight, the sound of their sharp wings were heard.

'Is that really Krad?' Daisuke inquired inside, undoubtedly Krad usually fights with Dark but at that time, he was implying something different. Dark clenched his teeth, irritated. "What happened to Hiwatari?"

Krad paused and started laughing hysterically, "Satoshi? Apparently he's in a deep sleep that can't ever be broken… asleep for eternity!" The image of Satoshi strangled up with chains in Dark's mind was seen. Dark's expression changed. Hiwatari Satoshi was the one who owns the body not Krad. Krad had gone too far, he took Satoshi's existence for granted likewise the UASR Organization; they assumed they still possess Himeno like as if she was an object. To begin with, Ichitoki Himeno was an ordinary human, a priestess from Kikyo Temple just 40 years ago. But because of the death of her love to Rika and her brother, in addition to Dark himself, she reluctantly sold her human blood to become a Guardian. Himeno's upset crying expression appeared in his mind. Reminding him about this made him furious.

'Dark?' Daisuke questioned; a bit surprised after he saw the same vision of Himeno. Clearly they share the same visions, except for their hearts and minds. 'You can't be…' Daisuke thought and gasped. Dark headed towards Krad in an incredible speed. "KRAD!"

-

Himeno raised her arms in the air, devils surrounded her and she was tedious. She was doing all the work, Dark might be at the 'Black Wings' and should seal it in the space of a few minutes. It had been more than one hour but still the devils haven't disappeared; instead they kept on coming like the last time it happened "By the name of Guardian Ichitoki Himeno!" She screamed looking up the sky, "Angels from Heaven lend me your power to destroy all of these unholy beings from this world!" She started to spin around, a strong storm appeared. The clouds were getting darker and darker unlike anything seen before. Her eyes were closed, her face a picture of calm and her arms were still stretched in the air. Her hair was fanned behind her. The wind slowed and she dropped her arms to her sides. The devils were still murmuring something in their language. As she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by lightning and she sent them to each of the devils. "Vanish, demons!" She turned around with incredible high speed. Her method was dangerous. Half of her blood was still human and human's skin can get electrocuted quickly. It was painful but she didn't scream nor complain. "Dark… Daisuke, wait for just a second… I'll be there… I will…" As long as she can protect the twins, the people and Dark himself, she was willing to make a sacrifice. Blinked blinking repeatedly and didn't stop attacking for a quite a long time. Once everything was done, she screamed louder than before and looked burnt. Smoke came out of her. Her clothes were half torn and there was dirt all over her. Her arms were shaking and she puffed. That was the first time Himeno ever used her ultimate power.

"Himeno-san!" The twins below her were worried and she blinked as she looked down. She smiled when they were safe and sound. A satisfied smile formed, "So everything end-" She started to fall down because her power weakened. "Himeno-san!" They screamed together, there was no one there to catch her; she was falling from a dangerously high place. No one could expect the twins to fly up or catch her.

"Dark…" She recalled Dark's wicked smile and immediately floated in the middle of the air, puffing. She almost hit the ground. Reminding her of Dark and promising him woke her up. She looked up, "Dark?" Her eyes widened and she gasped, "I need to help Dark!" She flew upwards and headed towards the Central Museum with high speed. "Dark! I'm coming!"

She stopped just above the building and heard clashes of sharp weapons. Immediately she knew Dark was fighting someone as strong as him; Krad. Without wasting time, she flew in and saw Krad was heading towards him with a powerful white feather. "Dark!" Not thinking twice, Himeno quickly blocked Dark and was badly knocked down by Krad. Her eyes widened when she felt her brain move around in her skull and started to slosh around. She was losing consciousness and dropped towards the ground. Dark's eyes grew wide and Himeno slammed onto the second floor. Her forehead started bleeding and immediately he flew towards her, "Himeno!"

He lifted her and held onto her right cheek, "Himeno…" Still she didn't move a muscle and his eyes were covered by his fringe. "I'm sorry, Himeno… it's all my fault…" He looked up at Krad with a fierce look of hatred. "I'll end this now or never." He looked at Himeno again with trembling eyes and a sad but satisfied smile. "Thank you Himeno…" He leaned down and kissed her forehead, "I wish you the best…" He gently placed her down on the floor and stood up, still looking at her, "Farewell… Ichitoki Himeno…" He flew towards his lifelong rival, "Krad!"

Assuming Dark was just attacking him, Krad did the same but when he was not far from Dark, he opened his black wings wide and wrapped them around Krad. Both of them became a shinning ball and it headed towards the third floor. Eventually, the whole of the middle section of the museum was destroyed and a hole created a view of the bright sky. Dark slammed Krad on something hard and Krad just laughed but he stopped when he felt the object behind him was somewhat different. He turned his head a fraction and saw a huge mirror-like object. "The Black Wing?" His eyes grew wide when Dark's black feathers started to strap Krad onto the 'Black Wings'. "Dark, what are you doing?" Krad barked and he moved back as he started to chant. "If you do this, you will be sealed as well!"

A wicked smile formed on his face and shut his eyes, "Goodbye, my other self." He pushed Krad into the Black Wings while the both of them emerged from their human bodies. 'Daisuke…' Tears were at the corners of Dark's eyes, 'Do me a favor…'

"What is it?" Daisuke asked as he looked up inside a small white world with Satoshi behind him. Dark smiled differently, 'Take care of Himeno for me…'

"Eh? Me?" Daisuke retorted, "Why are you—? Are you intending to leave?" Dark kept quiet and Daisuke looked down when Satoshi's hand held onto his shoulder, he gave Daisuke a smile. Satoshi's expression implied that he shouldn't ask because Dark and Krad weren't supposed to be born in this world to begin with. Daisuke nodded with tears bursting out, "I will! I promise! But there's one question I have been asking to ask…"

'What?' Dark chuckled, Daisuke was too innocent as always.

"Are you already in love with Himeno?" Dark's eyes narrowed, his lips trembling and he vanished inside Daisuke. The screaming of the mummy was heard from the Museum and both Dark and Krad merged within the Black Wings. At last it ended; everything and the devils stopped reappearing.

"Dark?" Not hearing Dark's reply made him open his eyes and he saw the sunset. "Dark?" He turned around and saw Satoshi smiling, "Hiwatari-kun? What happened to Dark?" He didn't answer the question that he and the family might not the answer to, even Himeno. Satoshi just kept quiet and gazed at the beautiful sunset. He never noticed the sun was pretty in the afternoon.

"Niwa-kun?" The twins were running towards them and Riku had tears streaming down her cheeks, relieved. Daisuke looked at her and ran towards her. She fell into his embrace, "You're all right… I'm glad…" He nodded and held her chin up. "Sorry for worrying you, Riku-san…" He leaned down and kissed her affectionately, without Dark's interference. Dark's 'heh' sound was heard.

Himeno blinked as the sun directly entered her eyes and she lifted herself up. Her forehead was still bleeding and she felt weak. The Central Museum was partly destroyed and she tried to stand up. She remembered what happened and started worrying, "Dark? Where's Dark?" She turned and saw Satoshi smiling, "Satoshi-kun?"

"The curse has finally ended…" He concluded and his eyes narrowed, "Krad was actually special to me, the same as Dark who was special to Daisuke… I just realized that… Even though Krad was a bit imprudent, he was like a brother to me…" His eyes trembled and he smiled as he stared at the setting sun.

"I see…" Himeno looked upset. Her position as a Guardian must have already ended. After all, she was alive until Dark reappeared but now that he is gone permanently, it is time for her to wait for her death. All she can do now before that time comes is to wish for Daisuke and Riku's happiness.
