Chapter 5 Blackout

Finally after a week being cooped up in his room Emiko finally let Daisuke go to school. Daisuke had gotten used to the pain he feels on and off and his coughing wasn't as bad as the night he confronted Krad.

"Bye Kaa-san!" he yelled running out the door but of course running late as he was he forgot to bring an umbrella! In the morning a storm had rolled in and it hadn't lighten up at all and shows no sign of getting better. Only worse.

"Daisuke I don't really think you should go back yet."

"I've been cooped up to long not to mention you, you must have been bored to death." Dark couldn't argue with that he was bored and including his boredom gave him curiosity. Like what was happening to Daisuke. Which got him worrying about is tamer.

"Idiot" Daisuke ignored the comment and kept running towards school.

Daisuke was surprised that Satoshi, Riku, Risa, and Takeshi where the only students there when he arrived.

"Daisuke! Were have you been!" yelled Takeshi.

"Were do you think you moron he was out sick!"

"Riku…"

"That's not a very good excuse.."

Daisuke sighed as Riku and Takeshi argued while Risa was trying to calm them down. Still what scared him a bit was Satoshi walking up to him with concern in his eyes.

"are you sure it is wise to be here?" the sharp pain Daisuke felt when he saw Krad appeared again.

"I'm doing better then before don't worry about." Satoshi gave Daisuke a bit of a dark glare for being such a calm person but of course that's what Satoshi envied about Daisuke. No matter what the problem it is or how impossible everyone thought it was even if Daisuke was in pain he always seemed to smile. Suffering so others don't suffer…right Niwa-Kun? Satoshi watched carefully as Daisuke laughed at his friends but his gentle laughter turned into a harsh cough and Riku got a bit worried. Still he just smiled at her like it wasn't a big deal.

"Becoming a bit to concerned about him don't you think Satoshi-Sama?"

"Leave me alone Krad," Krad snickered lightly at Satoshi and faded

"He is weakening…you just don't see it and soon he will be gone."

Satoshi growled lowly at Krad's last comment as the teacher walked in.

"alright well it looks like this will be it for today everyone's parents had called in and told us that the other students wont be making it because of the storm so, lets keep working on the play sense it wouldn't be a very good idea to just teach five students."

Everyone nodded and got to work. Sense barley no one was there they mostly just worked on the costumes and the setting, on the school's theater stage. Everyone was either to busy or to excited to notice that the storm had gotten worse. Well almost everyone.

"I don't like the looks of that storm Daisuke…"

"Don't worry so much Dark, Sensei might not let us go until it lightens up."

"She's that strike? Well it sucks to be you Daisuke."

" Oh thanks Dark I really feel more safe now." Dark snickered a bit. Daisuke sighed.

As Daisuke finished the forest he had began to paint awhile ago a huge flash went across the window and the whole room went black. Both of the twins screamed and both of them grabbed onto Takeshi and Satoshi sense they were close by.

"Everyone calm down! The power just went out." The girls opened there eyes and looked up at the guys the had grabbed onto.

"Argh! I cant believe this!" Riku let go of Takeshi and kicked him away. Risa looked at who she grabbed.

" I'm Sorry Satoshi!" Risa let go in shock as Satoshi dusted his off a bit.

"It's alright," Satoshi seemed to look around to see what had happened to Daisuke. Daisuke rubbed his head he didn't know why but it began to hurt after the power went out not to mention the pain in his chest grew if that was even more possible.

"Daisuke? Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine I think I just hit my head on something though." Daisuke heard a small sigh of relief from Dark. "Well that's new…"

"what is?"

"You actually being worried." Dark scowled at himself. He never wanted Daisuke to know he gets worried about him.

Daisuke stood up and walked behind the stage. "Riku-San? Hiwatari-Kun? Sensei?" there was no answer. Maybe they went to go find the emergency flashlights or at least the kit in the office and nurse clinic.

Daisuke coughed a bit and made his way towards the hallway. Daisuke made it to the office but had found the kit was already gone. "Sensei and the others must of gotten here first."

"Daisuke, maybe we should look for them."

"that's a good idea, but I never thought that you would think about finding Satoshi."

"shut up Daisuke…"

Daisuke walked around the school for who knows how long. The storm clouds made it to dark for him to see the wrist watch he was wearing and all the clocks in the school weren't any help. Some how he had made his way to the bottom floor and into the old art room. He shudder and coughed. He had a bad feeling about being in there he turned around and quickly left. Something was going on and he didn't want to know what it was.

Sweat dripped from his face as he walked slowly though the halls using the walls as support.

"Daisuke?" Daisuke didn't answer. He didn't want to worry Dark anymore, more or less embarrass him more. His coughing grew worse along with his vision. "Daisuke!"

"sorry…Dar…" Daisuke fell to his knees still with one hand on the wall as he coughed in the other one. Daisuke could hear Dark's yells and pleas from the back of his mind but they soon faded and everything went silent as he blacked out from the pain.

"Niwa-Kun!" yelled Riku as she followed Satoshi. Sensei had them split up into two different groups to look for Daisuke. "Oh I hope he's alright, he didn't look so well…" Satoshi stayed quiet the had basically searched the whole school it was the last floor and he was hoping to find Daisuke. Krad's disease would gain control again and just after Daisuke had fought it off. After almost making to the end of the hallway Satoshi and Riku heard someone coughing. As they turned the corner they found Daisuke laying on the floor most soaked in sweat. "Niwa-Kun!"

"Riku hold this." Satoshi gave Riku the flashlight as he ran up to Daisuke but he noticed something. Daisuke flickered, like a dieing flame. Satoshi quickly knelt down and touched Daisuke's arm lightly. It almost looked like he was about to disappear and Satoshi had a bad feeling. He looked at Riku to see if she noticed. "We should get him to the clinic he's not in a very good condition." Riku nodded and Satoshi quickly picked up Daisuke. "come on lets hurry." He ran past her and headed towards the clinic.

As Riku went to get something cold to bring Daisuke's fever down Satoshi looked at his cell phone. There wasn't a signal. This isn't good. He watched Daisuke sleep. It was odd though. When they had found Daisuke and he flickered like a dieing flame he began to wonder what was really going on. Now that he thought of it Daisuke was like a calm flame. Always bright and warm and always thought of ways to help people. It seemed like everyone was calm near him. Then that reminded Satoshi of what he had thought before. Not only was Daisuke trying to make others happy. He didn't really care what happens as long as no one else felt lonely. Daisuke was suffering he never shows it but he was. Being torn away from the inside like a fire in a storm. Satoshi sighed. It was he how created the storm that tears though Daisuke. "There isn't anything I can do."

"You could kill him, Let his suffering end and Dark will disappear. It all works out."

"No! Daisuke only suffers because he…because.." He couldn't think of anything. Was it to hide everyone's pain inside him? Then it hit him. The red feather…the color of crimson red the color of the blood. Daisuke's blood no…Daisuke's pain.

It was the only way… he could let go of the pain he harbors, to let other's pain into him so no one would feel the things he had felt so no one would have to walk down the path he had, A path he choose on his own.
