A Demon's Love: Chapter Four

Daisuke almost screamed when he felt someone grab him, almost. He turned around to come face to face with Risa Harada. The girl let go and smiled at him.

"He he he. I'm been looking everywhere for you!" The girl giggled.

Who knew the girl could be so strong?

Wait, didn't she have longer hair before?

Did she always have this much strength?

The girl giggled at Daisuke's confused expression.

"I'm not Risa," she told Daisuke, "I'm Riku Harada, Risa's twin sister."

"Um…nice to meet you…Harada-san," Daisuke politely said to the older girl.

"Hey! You talked!" Riku exclaimed. "Oh, and no need to be so formal, call me Riku,"

"Why is that surprising that I talked?" Daisuke asked Riku.

"Well…Dark said you didn't talk…something about you having some sort of mental disorder or something. I figured you were mentally retarded or something and that you couldn't speak," Riku shrugged.

Daisuke twitched. Sure he hadn't spoken when he had been held captive, but that was only because he had nothing to say. It wasn't exactly normal to strike up a conversation with someone that kidnapped you and was going to sell you.

Daisuke also had a habit of blurting out things when he got nervous or scared; it was usually an insult. He didn't want to piss of anyone, so he thought it would be better to keep his mouth shut. That did not mean he had some sort of mental disorder though!

Who does Dark think he is?

I am NOT mentally retarded!

How dare he make up crap about me!

"Hey."

"Hey!"

"HEY!"

Daisuke was snapped out of his mental ranting and looked into the eyes of a pissed off Riku. Riku may be a girl, but she was no pushover. Ignoring her was sure to get you beaten up. Unlike Risa, Riku didn't take crap from people or lose her dignity and common sense when around a pretty face.

Risa would do anything for Dark; sometimes it was just sad to see her following him like a lost puppy. She looked really stupid and everyone but her knew that he didn't have the least bit of interest in her.

"Come on, Dark's in a meeting right now and you have to be in his room when he gets back," Riku said.

"Okay," Daisuke said, as he followed Riku.

"You know, you're pretty tough for a little guy," said Riku, while sizing up Daisuke.

"Yup, I may look small, but I can kick ass when I have to," Daisuke proudly stated.

Riku giggled.

Daisuke was tough. When you live all alone, you have to learn to take care of yourself. Like Riku, Daisuke was not a pushover. He didn't like to fight unless he had to and stood up for people who couldn't defend themselves.

"We're here!" Riku yelled. "I knew you'd get lost; this place is a maze."

Daisuke looked around the room. It looked…depressing…and scary. Weapons of all sorts were hanging on the walls and everything in the room was black. There were no portraits of friends or family and no knickknacks of any sort. The room screamed "I'm going to kill you." Daisuke wasn't sure he wanted to meet Dark anymore; not that he had wanted to in the first place.

Daisuke still wanted to know why Dark had picked him for his slave. There were more attractive slaves at Azumano and stronger ones too. Most of the others were…too broken… to fight back. Why? If what Riku said was true, and Dark thought he was mentally ill, why had he picked him?

Wouldn't it have been better to pick a strong, sane slave, rather than a weak, mentally ill one? Daisuke was very confused, maybe he should ask Dark. Maybe that would be a bad idea, though. Just by looking at Dark's room, you could tell he wasn't a nice person.

"Daisuke…be careful…" Riku whispered.

"Huh?" Daisuke said, clearly confused.

"Dark…isn't the nicest person…it'll be easier if you do what he says…be careful…"

Riku left quietly, her bubbly personality gone. She seemed sad, but Daisuke couldn't understand why. Even though Riku was a little creepy, Daisuke decided that he liked her. Riku was one of the few demons that didn't treat humans like trash. Daisuke hoped they could become good friends.

Did she have to leave?

Great, now I'm ALONE in a creepy room that looks like it belongs to an ax murderer.

Daisuke heard sounds in the hallway. Someone was coming.

SLAM

Daisuke watched Dark slam the door open. Dark walked up to Daisuke and looked him over. Daisuke didn't like the way Dark was looking at him. It made him feel like a piece of meat.

"Will you quit looking at me!" Daisuke snapped, his fear of the older boy long gone.

"I was sure you couldn't talk…" Dark muttered.

"Yeah well, I can. I do NOT have some mental disorder and you shouldn't assume things about me! You don't know me!" Daisuke yelled.

Dark wasn't used to people talking to him in that tone and he didn't like it.

SMACK

Daisuke stood there shocked.

He…he just slapped me!

That asshole

Daisuke Niwa took shit from no one and especially not from some spoiled brat. Who did Dark think he was anyway?

"I liked it better when you kept your mouth shut," Dark said in an icy tone.

"Yeah, well too bad!" Daisuke exclaimed.

Dark swung his fist with the intention of hitting Daisuke again, but this time Daisuke was ready. He ducked Dark's blow and tackled him by the waist. Both boys fell to the ground; Daisuke on top of Dark. Daisuke connected his fist with Dark's left check.

"AHH!" Dark screamed.

Dark, without thinking, bit down on Daisuke's arm. Daisuke scrabbled off of Dark and looked at his wound. There was a big bite mark on his arm and his skin had turned a nice shade of red. Daisuke looked up from his arm in time to see Dark come at him. Daisuke, once again, found himself on the floor. Dark pinned Daisuke's arms above his head and used his knees to prevent Daisuke from moving his legs.

"Don't EVER talk to me that way!" Shouted Dark at Daisuke.

"I'll do what I want and there's nothing you can do about it, Dark!" Daisuke angrily screamed.

"You will refer to me as Master," snapped Dark.

"No way!" Screamed Daisuke.

"You will do what I want!"

"Never!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

Daisuke became confused when Dark stopped arguing and got off of him. Dark smirked at him; Daisuke didn't like it. Daisuke sat up only to be pinned back onto the floor by Dark.

"I don't think you understand. You belong to me and you will do as I say, slave," whispered Dark into Daisuke's ear.

Daisuke shuddered as he felt Dark's hot breath on his ear. Dark painfully grasped Daisuke's hair.

"What are-"

Daisuke was cut off as he felt Dark's lips on his.

Oh my god!

My first kiss…

That bastard will die!

Daisuke bit down on Dark's tongue. Dark pulled back in pain.

"What the hell!" Shouted Dark, his eyes filled with fury.

Daisuke looked Dark strait in the eye. He didn't even flinch when Dark glared at him.

"Listen, and listen good, Dark. I'm not some toy you can play with and I will not tolerate you mocking me. I'm a person and I will not be disrespected by some spoiled rich kid," Daisuke calmly stated.

Dark then did something that confused Daisuke; he smiled. It wasn't an evil smirk or anything, it was just a smile.

"I knew there had to be a reason why I picked you," Dark chuckled.

"Huh?" Retorted Daisuke dumbly.

"Nothing, come on," Dark told Daisuke.

"Where are we going?" Asked Daisuke.

"My father set up a meeting with another princess who wishes to marry me," stated Dark.

"What does that have to do with me?"

"You're coming with me," called Dark, as he walked ahead.

"Wait up!" Daisuke called to Dark, as he ran after him.

Riku probably said those mean things about Dark to scare me.

He doesn't seem too bad.

Maybe…maybe this place isn't such a bad place after all…

TBC…………….

I decided to not be too evil to Daisuke. I couldn't leave him all alone now could I? Riku, unlike other bitchy demons, is nice to Daisuke even though he's human. I decided to give him a friend. Anyway, in later chapter you get to see just how cruel Dark really is… )
