Wings of Darkness
Chapter Seven: The Promise
Dark's eyes slowly opened, the morning sunlight pouring in. There was something warm up against him, something oddly comfortable and good smelling.
He gasped when he saw it was Kyari.
Dark smirked and was about to kiss her awake when he heard a sharp intake of breath from behind him.
"Oh...shit." He groaned, turning to see Emiko's startled figure behind him. "Now mom this isn't what it looks like"
"Isn't what it looks like?" Emiko said, almost too calmly, her eyes closed, a vein in her temple Dark had never seen before was popping out. "Isn't...what...it...looks...like"
"Three...two...one." Dark sighed.
"WHAT ELSE WOULD IT BE?" Emiko screamed.
Kyari's eyes flashed open with Emiko's scream, she almost fell off the couch but Dark's tight grip on her waist prevented it.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING DARK?" Emiko shouted. Dark had thought that she'd be mad at Kyari, but no...he was always the one to blame when it came to girls. "TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AN INJURED GIRL"
Dark rolled his eyes. "Nothing happened Emiko. If it weren't for me she would have left"
"IF IT WEREN'T FOR WHAT YOU DID YOU MEAN?" Emiko shouted, her face was red with anger. When Dark turned to look at Kyari, he saw the that girl's face was chalk white with fear. "HOW COULD YOU? SHE'S SUPPOSED TO FEEL SAFE HERE"
"No! No! No!" Kyari smiled, taking Dark's hands off her waist and quickly standing, fixing her clothes. "It's nothing Emiko really! It's okay nothing happened"
"NOTHING?" Emiko growled.
Dark was wrong. She wasn't just pissed at him, it looked as if she was pissed at the whole damn world right about then.
"What's going on?" Daisuke said from the bottom of the stairs, rubbing his eyes. "What's with all the shouting, mom?"
"You will not believe what Dark was doing!" Emiko hissed. "I came down here and they were sleeping together"
Daisuke shrugged, "That doesn't surprise me"
"Excuse me?" Dark growled, getting quickly off the couch. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh come on Dark." Daisuke smirked. "You were a part of me for the longest time, I think I know how you tick"
Dark's face went bright red as he glared at his brother. "Oh yeah? Well I know about you, and I don't think Riku would like to know about your little problem you had until you were ten"
Daisuke's eyes grew very wide. "You wouldn't"
"Dude, the phone is two feet away, Riku's house isn't far from her either." Dark smirked.
"You dirty little-" Daisuke shouted, but was cut off by his mother.
"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!" Emiko growled.
Even Dark shrunk back at that one.
"Now." Emiko said sourly. "Kyari, honey, would you please go upstairs with Daisuke for a moment"
"Uh..." Kyari said, her gaze shifting to Dark.
Dark shrugged, mouthing. "Do it or she'll kill you"
"Sure." Kyari said, a fake smile plastered across her face. She turned and walked over to Daisuke, grabbing his arm and dragging him up the stairs, mumbling to the red-haired boy. "Is Dark still going to be alive after this?"
Daisuke shrugged. "I doubt it."
Dark sighed, walking into his room, which was occupied by Kyari, and flopped down on his bed. Kyari sighed, pushing him off of her and onto the floor.
"So what'd she say?"
"Couldn't you hear her?" Dark looked up at her from the floor.
Kyari shrugged and held up his old headphones. "I found them."
Dark sighed and closed his eyes. "Just…things. Things that only Emiko could say."
Kyari giggled and leaned over the edge of the bed, staring down at Dark. "Well, you deserved it."
"Me?" Dark gaped at her. "You are just as guilty as me!"
Kyari shrugged. "So? You took advantage of me, remember?"
Dark glared at her. "Took advantage of you?"
"Yep," Kyari grinned. "Because I'm so sweet and-"
Kyari was cut off by Darks arms wrapping around her shoulders, pulling her off the bed and on top of him, his mouth planting itself satisfyingly on top of hers.
"S-See?" Kyari said when he broke the kiss. "Advantage."
Dark smirked. "I have to leave again tonight, but you have to promise you won't follow."
"I haven't followed in a few days." Kyari said.
"You've been drifting in and out of consciousness!" Dark laughed, pointing out the obvious.
Kyari shrugged, "Fine. I promise I won't follow you, as long as your careful."
"I'm always careful."
Kyari watched later that night as Dark soared out of his bedroom window, his jet black wings carrying him high above the clouds and disappearing into the darkening sky.
"He'll be fine Kyari." Riku, Daisuke's girlfriend smiled up at the seventeen-year-old. "He's a lot stronger than you think." Kyari smiled at Riku. "I thought you hated Dark."
Riku shrugged. "Hate is too strong a word."
Kyari had just met Riku only a few hours ago. She and Daisuke had planned a movie night together, and Riku refused to let Daisuke cancel it again due to family issues.
Riku was, Kyari thought, a rather charming girl. She had short auburn hair and bright eyes and a great smile. She made Daisuke happy, and Kyari was glad. Daisuke deserved it.
"So how did you meet Dark?" Riku asked, the two girls walking slowly down the stairs towards the living room. They were going to watch How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days a favorite of Riku and Emiko's.
Kyari sighed, Riku knew all about her and how "powers" so she didn't have to worry about being secret. "I kind of…attacked him."
Riku giggled, patting her on the shoulder. "Good for you! I wish I could fly, then Dark would really get what's coming to him."
Kyari laughed. "I'm not even going to ask."
"So are you two going out?" Riku asked, plopping down on the couch, Kyari on the floor at her feet.
Kyari shrugged. "No. Well…we haven't really gotten the chance…I don't know."
The two girls turned when they heard a loud crash coming from the kitchen, followed by Emiko's strangled screaming at Daisuke for burning the popcorn yet again.
"But I'm not used to these old things!" Daisuke shouted. "It doesn't say how much corn you have to put in!"
"Just a cup Dai!" Emiko groaned. "I've told you that a thousand times!"
Riku laughed, "It's never boring over here is it?"
Kyari shook her head. "Never."
Soon, Daisuke and Emiko walked into the living room, their hands full of popcorn and chips.
"Where's Grandfather?" Kyari asked, taking a small bowl of popcorn from Daisuke.
"He refuses to watch." Emiko shrugged, plopping herself on the couch next to Daisuke and Riku. "He says that he won't be sucked into the new-age crap."
Kyari giggled and clicked the remote, starting the movie.
They sat there and watched the movie for a while, the actors and actresses getting themselves hooked into different bets.
"Stupid." Kyari smirked, her eyes glued to the screen.
Until something popped into her head.
Krad and Satoshi had been injured the last time fighting Dark and Daisuke…so they wouldn't make the same mistake.
"They'd bring re-enforcements." Kyari whispered, dropping a handful of popcorn back into the bowl.
"What's wrong Kyari?" Daisuke asked as the girl stood up suddenly.
"I-I don't feel well." Kyari said. "I'm going to go to bed okay?"
"Sure honey." Emiko smiled. "You rest up."
Kyari nodded. "See you guys in the morning. Nice to meet you Riku."
Riku nodded. "See you Kyari."
With that said Kyari rushed from the room and up the stairs towards Dark's room, where she promptly slipped on her regular flying gear.
Tonight she wore a navy blue and black corset and a black pleated skirt that draped a little above her knees.
Kyari slid open the window to the room after tying up her boots. She looked behind her to make sure Daisuke or Emiko hadn't followed her.
When she saw that the coast was clear, Kyari quickly clasped her hand over her necklace and closed her eyes.
Instantly she felt the necklace melt into her hand, and her back suddenly becoming heavier with her wings.
"Sorry Dark," Kyari whispered, jumping out the window and spreading her wings wide, soaring into the night sky. "But I have to break your promise. I can't leave you to be caught."
Dark sighed, walking calmly through the large art building that he was in. "It's all crap." Truly, the things hung on the wall were of no use to Dark, he couldn't seem to find the artifact that he'd been sent to collect.
Or Krad.
Dark's anger for Krad and his other half still stung deep. He wanted revenge for Daisuke and Kyari's injuries. They deserved to pay.
But it was quiet…chillingly so, in the building that night.
Kyari was safe, Dark knew that much. She was at home with Daisuke, Emiko, Grandfather and Riku, watching movies.
She wouldn't break her promise to him…would she?
Dark shook his head, as if to get the thought from his mind. "No. I trust Kyari…she wouldn't break my trust." He stopped walking and looked around him, the dim lighting from the police outside didn't help him find what he was looking for.
A painting of a building somewhere in England. From what Dark heard it was a rather important building…a building for the King and Queen. He'd never heard of it.
Sighing, Dark turned to leave. "Whatever. Mom will understand…I hope." He whistled for Wiz, and the small rabbit appeared as wings on his back. "Time to go home Wiz."
He was about to fly out of the building, without the painting, when a thought crossed his mind.
Why was it so quiet in there anyway?
"No…" Dark mumbled. "Krad wouldn't think of attacking Kyari, not with so many people in the house…" He gasped. "Unless she's not there."
No wonder Krad hadn't attacked him full force, knowing he was alone. Kyari had to be out there somewhere. She must have broken his promise.
Kyari winced and griped her shoulder painfully. It hurt her to fly…she wouldn't be able to last much longer.
Finally she saw the building that Dark was in. Since he hadn't told her she'd had to search all of Tokyo for the place where the most police were.
And sure enough she'd found it, a large art building, rather run down.
She set herself down, much to her relief, in a nearby alleyway, careful not to alert the police of her presence.
There had to be a reason that it was so quiet. Kyari couldn't hear Dark and Krad fighting…or the gunshots from the organization.
"But they wouldn't want Dark to kill." Kyari growled to herself. "They'd probably want to experiment with him."
"That's exactly right." A voice said from behind her.
Kyari gasped and spun around, almost loosing her footing. "Shit."
The man stepped out of he shadows of the alleyway, his brown-eyes glinting in the moonlight. "Long time no see Kyari. We were going to go for Dark, but since you're right here…why not settle for you?"
Kyari took a step back, her eyes wide. "Dimitri."
