Wings of Darkness
Chapter Eighteen: Existence
"You deserve to die Dimitri." Dark growled. "For all the things you've done."
"Oh, and like you've done any better Dark?" Dimitri laughed, hovering in front of Dark, his large black wings shinning off the light from the moon.
Just like Kyari's.
"Because of you, because of what you did, Kyari can't fly anymore." Dark growled, his fists clenching tightly at his sides.
Dimitri shrugged. "Not my problem. She was a bother flying, anyway."
Dark glared acidly at him. "I won't forgive you for what you did to her!"
With that Dark dove at Dimitri, tackling him head on in the air.
The two Wings locked in a hand-to-hand combat, throwing one punch after another, Dark mostly winning. He had more rage.
"Give it up Dark, you can't beat me." Dimitri smirked, kicking Dark, hard, in the stomach, sending the teenager slamming into the Tokyo Tower.
"Fuck you." Dark snarled, gritting his teeth at the pain in his shoulder. Damn…this wound…I won't be able to last much longer.
Dimitri laughed. "Tired already Dark?"
"Shut up." Dark snapped. "You aren't a real Wing, you aren't as strong as me, or as Kyari."
"Was." Dimitri said. "As strong as Kyari was. She's just a regular human now, Dark. Can you really love her now? Knowing that she'll never be able to fly with you again?"
"Don't talk about her!" Dark shouted, punching Dimitri angrily in the face, sending the man falling towards the streets.
Dimitri caught himself before he hit the ground, smirking up at Dark. "Oh, someone's mad."
"Shut up." Dark snapped. "Fight me, or are you coward?"
"A coward? In your dreams Mousy." Dimitri growled, diving up at Dark, his fist colliding with the purple-haired boy's face.
Dark was sent reeling back into the tower, landing on one of the platforms that tourists used to take pictures from.
"You can't beat me Dark." Dimitri chuckled, standing over the fallen Dark, pulling something from his back pocket.
A gun.
Damn it. Dark thought weakly. He's got another one.
His shoulder pulsed with the pain from the last gunshot, and the rest of his body screamed from his latest battle.
I'd rather fight Krad any day. Dark thought with a dull smirk.
"Are you ready to die Dark?" Dimitri growled, aiming the mouth of his gun at Dark's chest, right at his heart. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Kyari."
"Don't fucking touch her." Dark said acidly, reaching for a feather from one of his wings.
"Well, you won't be here to stop me, now will you?" He laughed, cocking the gun.
Then, the piercing sound of a gunshot broke his words, and the silence of the night.
Dark closed his eyes, expecting a shooting pain to jolt through him, but none came.
He opened his eyes, expecting to see either white clouds or hot lava, but instead, saw Dimitri standing above him, his eyes wide, blood running down the front of his shirt.
Behind Dimitri, was Kyari, a smoking gun in her hand.
The gun that Dimitri had dropped.
"Go to hell Dimitri." She whispered.
Dimitri turned to her, his eyes wide from shock.
And he fired his gun.
"No!" Dark screamed, watching as Kyari's eyes grew very wide and she dropped her gun, dark blood soaking her shirt just below her chest.
Dimitri chuckled, deep red blood falling from the corner of his mouth and one of his nostrils, running down the side of his neck. His eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he sunk to the ground.
"Kyari!" Dark cried, quickly getting to his feet, rushing to the girl as she sunk to her knees, clutching the bullet wound in her abdomen. "Kyari please…stay with me Kyari!"
Without thinking, Dark scooped her into his arms, diving off the side of the tower, his wings carrying him off into the night sky.
"Stay with me Kyari." He breathed. "Please, stay with me."
"D-Dark…" She breathed, her sapphire eyes staring up at Dark, the color slowly draining from them. "I…love you. I'm…sorry."
"Don't say that." Dark growled, soaring through the sky, his wings beating rapidly on his back. "Don't you dare say that!"
She winced slightly, closing her eyes.
"Don't close your eyes!" Dark snapped. "Keep them open, stay with me Kyari."
She opened her eyes again weakly, but they were no longer a brilliant blue, but a dull gray. "Dark..."
Dark landed with a thud in front of the hospital, rushing into the building.
He didn't care if the world knew who he was now, all he cared about was getting Kyari better…seeing her smile again.
"Someone help me!" Dark shouted as he ran into the ER waiting room. "She needs help!"
"Oh my God…" A nurse breathed, staring blankly at Dark. "Dark Mousy!"
"Don't stand there gaping!" Dark shouted. "Get a doctor! Kyari needs help!"
The nurse nodded and quickly rushed to the speaker system. "Calling any free doctors to the ER waiting room. Calling any free doctors to the ER waiting room."
As if they'd been standing right around the corner, about three doctors came barreling into the room. Each stopped when they saw Dark.
"M-Mousy!" One gasped.
"She needs help!" Dark snarled, rushing up to the doctors, holding out Kyari. Her breathing was slow and unsteady, her eyes closed again. "Help her!"
"Stretcher!" One of the doctors shouted.
"Come with me Dark." One of the doctors said as Kyari was set on a stretcher, immediately wheeled into the ER. "Let's take a look at that shoulder."
"No, I want to stay with her." Dark said.
"You can't." The doctor said. "You can see her soon, though. I'm Doctor Yamahari. Please, come with me.
Before Dark could answer, Doctor Yamahari grabbed his arm and pulled him into a small room filled with equipment and a few beds.
"Is she going to be okay?" Dark said weakly, sitting on the edge of a bed, as Dr. Yamahari had asked.
"I'm sure she will, Dark." He said, quickly taking a small knife, cutting the fabric from Dark's shoulder. "Your lucky though, this wound isn't too bad. But I have to take the bullet out."
"Okay." Dark said softly.
He sat there through the whole procedure, not hearing a word Dr. Yamahari said, not answering. He sat there, staring at the floor, the image of Kyari flashing through his mind, how her eyes had gotten so wide, the blood that soaked her shirt.
She has to be okay. Dark thought, feeling tears sting at his eyes. She has to be…
"Okay, all finished." Dr. Yamahari said suddenly, breaking Dark from his thoughts.
Dark looked up, only to find that there was a thick bandage wrapped around his shoulder and his arm was in a sling, to keep him from reopening the wound. "Thank you."
"Now, Mr. Mousy." Dr. Yamahari sighed. "I won't let the police know that you were here, okay? But you have to leave now."
"No! I'm not leaving Kyari!" Dark said, getting to his feet.
"She'll be fine Dark. You can come and see her in the morning, okay?" The doctor said.
Dark shook his head. "No! She saved my life, I love her, I'm not going to leave her."
Dr. Yamahari sighed and ran his hand through his graying hair. "Okay, you can stay, but I suggest you get rid of those wings of yours."
Dark's cheeks flared and he quickly nodded. "Wiz!"
Instantly, his wings transformed back into the creature, who placed itself on Dark's shoulder.
"Okay then." Dr. Yamahari smiled. "She should be close to being out of surgery now, you can go and wait in the waiting room, we'll call you in when she's ready."
Dark nodded and walked into the waiting room, right to a phone.
"Dark? Where are you?" Mrs. Niwa screamed into the phone. "Daisuke just showed up with a whole group of people! Where are you? They're looking for you."
"I'm at the hospital mom." Dark rolled his eyes. "Put Dai on the phone, will you?"
The phone went silent for a while, then Daisuke's familiar voice said, "Dark?"
"Dai." Dark sighed. "Is everyone okay?"
"Yeah. Rory's a little beat up, but otherwise we're all okay. Where are you and Kyari? We went to the Tokyo Tower, but we didn't find anyone."
"Dimitri's dead." Dark said softly. "I'm at the hospital with Kyari."
"Getting your arm fixed? That's good." Daisuke said.
"Yeah. That and…" Dark sighed, running a frustrated hand through his hair. "Kyari..."
"What happened Dark?" Daisuke asked. "Is Kyari okay?"
"She shot Dimitri." Dark said. "And he shot her. She…she's in surgery right now."
"We're coming." Daisuke said. "We'll be right there."
Then, the phone went dead.
Dark sighed and put down the phone, startled when a nurse came and tapped him on the shoulder. "You can see her now."
Dark grinned and followed the nurse into the small hospital room lines with two beds on either wall.
In one of them, was Kyari.
"Thank God." Dark breathed, rushing over to her side.
She was asleep, her breathing even, a tube of IV coming out of her wrist, her long black hair falling lightly on the pillow and her shoulders.
Dark sighed and sat in the chair next to her bed, leaning over and kissing her lightly on the cheek, gripping her hand firmly in his. "I'm right here Kyari, I'm right here."
Three Weeks Later…
Kyari sighed, stuffing some clothes into the drawer of her dresser. She smiled and stood up, her hands on her hips, surveying the room around her. "Perfect."
It had been three weeks since the final battle with Dimitri, and she had been allowed to leave the hospital a few days after, but was informed not to be very active for a while, to keep her strength up.
The police had, due to Daisuke's tip, found Dimitri's body on the top of the tower the following day, and the rest of Dimitri's followers had been found, and jailed.
Now, she was one hundred percent better and had, along with Rory, Ty and Mike, moved into a small two-story house not far from the Niwa home.
"Are you done already Kyari?" Rory smiled, walking into the room, her bright red hair tied back in a ponytail.
"Of course." Kyari sighed. She had decorated her room, her own room, in black and dark red, a little bit of deep gold. The walls were covered with posters of her favorite bands and other people, on one wall was a huge collage of pictures she'd been taking over the past few weeks, multicolored strings hung from the corner of the room, tiny bells attached to them.
"So, ready for lunch?" Rory asked. "Mike is trying to make grilled cheese."
"Trying?" Kyari giggled. "Go help him, I'll be out soon, okay?"
Rory nodded and turned walking from the room.
Kyari quickly pulled off her shirt and slipped on a baby blue zip-up sweater and a black pleated skirt, brushing out her long black hair.
She sighed and lay back on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, her blue eyes clouded with thoughts.
Kyari missed the feeling of her wings on her back, for she could no longer fly, and her wings hadn't returned to her.
She wasn't sure if they ever would.
Tears stung at her eyes as she remembered her necklace shattering on the streets below her, sealing her fate, grounding her forever.
The only time, now, that she was able to return to the air, was during the night when Dark would take her from her room, up into the night sky. He did this every night, but it still wasn't the same to Kyari.
She sat up, hearing the familiar tapping on her window.
"Dark, what are you going here?" She hissed, opening the window, allowing the teenager to step inside. "It's the middle of the day, you shouldn't be out flying at this time!"
He shrugged and wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing his lips to hers. "I wanted to see you."
Kyari sighed and kissed him back, pulling away shortly. "So? It's still not safe. Because Dimitri still had his wings, the police think you killed him."
"Whatever." Dark shrugged. "It doesn't matter. Your alive, I'm alive, so it doesn't matter."
She sighed and rested her head on his shoulder. Over the past couple of weeks, she had become very accustomed to Dark's arms around her, the smell of his cologne, his lips on hers. "Thank you Dark."
He smiled. "Come with me Kyari."
"Where?"
"You know where." He said wickedly.
Kyari rolled her eyes. There was a small forest just outside Tokyo, hidden in a small ravine, where Dark had taken Kyari not too long ago. They'd spent the night there, talking and looking up at the stars.
And making out.
"Fine, but I have to be back soon." Kyari said. "Rory and the others are making lunch."
"Okay." Dark said, scooping her up into his arms, bridal-style. "I'll have you back soon then."
"Your lying, aren't you?"
"Of course." He smiled, jumping out of the window, his wings carrying them up into the sky.
Kyari sighed and rested her head on his shoulder, looking down at the city below. "I love you Dark."
He smiled and kissed the top of her head lightly. "I love you too, Kyari."
Okay! And that is THE END to Wings of Darkness! REVIEW!
