Wings of Darkness
Chapter Thirteen: Breaking
"No! Let him go!" Kyari screamed, gripping onto Dark's hands as two of Dimitri's men tried to pull him from the room while two men held her back. "Stop!"
"Shut up Kyari!" Dimitri snapped from the doorway. "Or he dies."
Kyari glared at him, her eyes flaring. "Fuck you! Don't you dare touch him, he's not involved in this!"
"He's a Wing." Dimitri growled. "He has just as much to do with this as you."
Kyari couldn't do anything but watch as Dark's hand was torn from hers and he disappeared beyond the doorframe.
"You bastard!" Kyari snarled at Dimitri. "I'll kill you if he dies!"
Dimitri growled and snapped for his men to let her go. As soon as they did Kyari threw herself at Dimitri, pounding her fists into his chest.
He painfully grabbed her arms and slammed her against a wall, grasping her neck tightly in his hand.
"I suggest, that you shut the fuck up." Dimitri hissed. "Or I will see to it that he, along with these three," He motioned to Krad, Satoshi and Daisuke being held against the walls. "Get the same end as your little friend."
Kyari glared at him, but fell silent. Dimitri smiled triumphantly and kissed her lightly on the cheek. He let her go, and disappeared from the room.
"No…" Kyari whispered, sinking to the floor.
Flashback
"Kyari?" Dark whispered, tilting Kyari's chin up with his hand, his arms still wrapped comfortingly around her. "It's not your fault."
Kyari closed her eyes and sank her head onto Dark's shoulder, tears fighting to break through. "I can't stop thinking about it. Koran died to save me…to make sure that I had one more day to live. And I couldn't even repay him."
Dark sighed and rested his chin on her head. "If you want to repay him Kyari, live. Don't give up, no matter what."
Kyari let her tears fall, her grip on Dark growing stronger.
"Thank you Dark."
He smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Don't worry about it Kyari. I'll protect you, I promise, no matter what."
"Oh, isn't that touching." Dimitri smirked.
Dark groaned and let go of Kyari, turning to face the man. "Why is it that you always interrupt at a time like this?"
Dimitri shrugged. "It's fun."
Dark's eyes flashed over to Krad and the others. He hadn't even noticed the three large men rush in and pin the three against the walls.
"Let them go." Kyari snapped.
Dimitri shook his head and six men popped out of nowhere, three grabbing onto Dark and tearing him from Kyari, the other three holding Kyari as she struggled.
"Don't hurt him!" Kyari cried, watching as the three men started to drag Dark towards the door.
She reached out and grabbed his hand.
"We need a new, stronger subject for testing." Dimitri smirked. "You're just going to have to wait your turn."
"What did we ever do to you?" Krad snarled. "What did the Wings ever do to make you want to kill us!"
Dimitri tossed a smirk over to Krad. "Why? Because, people who fly aren't meant to be. You guys, are abominations."
"Dark and Krad are a piece of history!" Satoshi said, Kyari could see his anger flaring. "You can't just get rid of them!"
"Oh but I can." Dimitri said acidly. "Take Mousy away."
End Flashback
"It's okay Kyari." Daisuke said, sidling up to the raven-haired girl, tears streaking down her cheeks. "He'll be fine."
Kyari turned to him, her eyes shinning. "I lasted most of my life in here. Since then the technology has gotten stronger and more deadly. I would have died because of that necklace. I…I'm afraid for-"
"Don't even say it." Krad said darkly, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes closed, deep in thought. "Dark's a lot stronger than what you give him credit for."
Kyari stared at Krad, confused. "But…I thought you hated Dark."
"I do." Krad said bitterly. "But that doesn't mean I can't give Dark a little credit now and then. Besides, if he weren't strong, I'd have killed him long ago."
Daisuke rolled his eyes, turning back to Kyari. "Whatever Krad. But for now, we have to focus on getting out of here and saving Dark."
"And how do you plan on doing that?" Satoshi asked. He was, obviously, not in the greatest of moods.
"Easily." Daisuke smiled, opening his hand. In it was a necklace.
Kyari's necklace.
Kyari gasped and took it from him, wrapping her arms around the fourteen-year-old. "Oh my God I love you Dai! How did you get it?"
Daisuke shrugged. "I used to be Dark, remember? Besides, Dimitri isn't all that bright."
Kyari giggled and clasped the stone around her neck, a wicked smirk creeping across her face. "Time to bust out of here boys."
"Get that thing the fuck away from me." Dark snarled, struggling against the leather straps that were binding his wrists and ankles to a flat, cold, metal table in the middle of a large room. His black wings were sprawled out underneath him, bent uncomfortably under his weight and the strain of his binds.
A scientist was standing over him, a needle in his hand, extended towards Dark's neck.
"This won't hurt a bit." The man said, pulling the point closer to the Wing's skin.
"Hell no!" Dark shouted, his wings flapping madly as best they could.
The scientist backed away, turning to face Dimitri, who was watching with a smirk from the sidelines. "I can't get him to stop moving."
"Well that won't do will it." Dimitri sighed. "Dark, be a good boy and behave will you?"
"Shut up fuck-face." Dark snapped angrily, his dark purple hair falling into his face. He really, really, didn't like not being able to move.
(An: Yes I know Dark swears a little much, but I just saw Blade Trinity and had to add in that line, courtesy of Hannibal King!)
He hated it, in fact.
Dimitri glared at him, snatching the syringe from the scientist and stormed up to Dark.
"You know," Dark said flatly. "That's dangerous. Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with sharp objects?"
"Shut up." Dimitri ordered.
Dark ignored him. "I guess not, she was probably too busy-"
Dark's insult, as rude as it was, was cut off by Dimitri backhanding him across the face.
"Oh!" Dark laughed. "He looks like a girl, he hits like a girl, he must be a girl! Thanks for proving my theory there, Dimitri."
Dimitri glared at Dark acidly, plunging the needle into the boy's neck.
Dark gasped at the sharp pain that shiver through him like a cold wind, the icy liquid pumping itself into his body with every beat of his heart.
"There." Dimitri smirked, handing the empty needle back to the scientist. "That should shut him up for a while."
The scientist nodded his thanks and turned to a table with all sorts of tools and bottles full of different color liquids on it.
Dark blinked, his world growing suddenly fuzzy and under water-like. Is this what they did to Kyari?
Dark blacked out.
Flashback
"W-what's happening?" Dark gasped, staring at his hands. His voice came out as Daisuke's. "Dai what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" Dark's own voice came from inside his head.
What the hell?
This was confusing to Dark. Most of the time, when he was in thieving mode and in his own body, it was Daisuke who spoke through his mind, not himself. Now he sounded like Daisuke, but thought like himself.
Very, very confusing.
"What's happening Dark?" Daisuke said through Dark's mouth.
"Don't ask me." Dark snapped in his mind.
The pain was incredible, vibrating through him like the ocean waves. It was horrible.
Dark sunk to his knees, gripping his head with his hands, his eyes closed and shaking. His whole body, shaking.
"Dark…I'm scared." Daisuke said again.
This time Dark opened his eyes, and he could see him, Daisuke, kneeling in front of him, his head in his hands. He too, was shaking.
"T-That's impossible." Dark breathed. "We cant both be here. Y-You should be inside m-me."
Daisuke looked up at him through one open eye. "Dark…what's happening?"
"I don't…know." Dark growled.
They had just stolen something, a necklace, Dark could barely remember. While walking past the exit, Dark had looked at a old piece of parchment on the wall of the museum. He'd read it aloud, and everything had gone haywire.
Beside the parchment there was a sign that read: Copies also in Vancouver, B.C, Canada; Los Angeles, California, United States; and London, England, Europe.
Dark remembered what the parchment had said…
In the wings of night,
I come to thee.
From one whole,
To separate souls.
Shed the wings of night for one,
The other,
To remain.
He'd wondered what that had meant, but know he got it. At first it hadn't made any sense, at all. Now it did.
That parchment was thousands of years old, it probably dated back to when the first Niwa had transformed into the thief Dark Mousy.
Somehow…Dark knew it, and therefore was drawn to read it. When he had, everything had started to go haywire.
In the wings of night, I come to thee.
What had come to him? The change? The pain? Daisuke? All Dark knew that something big was happening, something he couldn't control.
From one whole, to separate souls.
Would he and Daisuke finally be free of each other? Could Dark finally live the life he's always wanted, as an individual? Without having the whiny Daisuke hanging around somewhere?
Then, it was all over.
The pain was gone and Dark had stopped shaking.
For once, he could feel his heart beating. His own heart, not his and Daisuke's, but his.
He looked up at Daisuke, kneeling in front of him, his jade gaze fixed on Dark.
"Dark…" Daisuke breathed. "You're…"
"Free." Dark smiled, looking down at his hands.
He noticed something, a shadow behind him.
His wings.
Shed the wings of night for one, the other, to remain.
Dark wasn't free, at least, not from himself.
"I'm sorry." Daisuke said, lowering his head.
Dark smiled and patted Daisuke on the shoulder. "It's okay Dai. Hey, it's a bonus, I'm free from you now."
Daisuke grinned. "You don't mind still having them?"
Dark shrugged. "Hey, it's just Wiz. Besides, now I can fly and you can't."
Daisuke laughed and got to his feet, punching Dark light on the shoulder.
"Ha, you can't get away with that anymore." Dark chuckled, getting to his feet and chasing after Daisuke along the rooftop where they had escaped to.
He was free of Daisuke now. He could live normal life now…almost.
End Flashback
Daisuke smiled faintly, remembering the night he'd been free of Dark.
He wondered if Dark remembered, too.
"Hold on Dark." He whispered.
Okay! Hope you liked it! Review!
Please don't expect another chapter for a while! I still have to write more lol!
