"…Satoshi!" Daisuke exclaimed happily. He was relieved he now didn't have to walk all the way back to get the necklace. But why had he brought it to him, it was Hiwatari's job to protect such pieces of art. Satoshi blinked still dangling the necklace in front of the red haired boy.
"I thought you might want it back." His voice was solemn, Daisuke began to feel twice as guilty for acting out the way he had.
"Would you like to come inside?" He asked stepping aside, Satoshi hesitated a moment before nodding and stepping inside. Emiko, Daisuke's mother came into the entry way.
"Who is it Dai?" She spotted Satoshi Hiwatari standing in her house. "…Oh…Satoshi."
"Niwa forgot something at my house, I thought I should stop by and return it." He explained, Emiko only nodded then went on with her business. She didn't particularly like the idea of Satoshi, a member of the Hikari family in her house. However it appeared that Daisuke trusted him and that's all that really mattered.
"You want to go up to my room?" Daisuke asked, standing at the foot of the stairs, Satoshi only shrugged. Taking that as a somewhat yes, Daisuke led him up the stairs to his room. "I wanted to talk to you alone." He sat down on the couch, Satoshi remained standing looking out the window. It was obvious he was feeling uncomfortable, he was tense even Daisuke could tell. "…I…I'm sorry…about this morning."
"It's not a big deal Daisuke, don't start apologizing." He kept staring out the window.
"No I mean it. You see, that wasn't my reaction it was…Dark's." Satoshi turned his head to look at the red haired boy sitting behind him. One of his thin eyebrows was raised in question. As if to say "go on." "Well you see, Dark was awake then and when you started…"He trialed off not sure how to say it properly. "..touching me, it sort of caused a part of Dark to come out." Daisuke was already blushing a bright red, just saying the words "touching me" brought back the memory of that morning, and how he actually did enjoy it. He had just been confused by Dark's feelings mixing with his.
"So…what you're saying is, I make you turn into Dark now?" Satoshi questioned turning to face Daisuke. The boy only nodded.
"I still really like you Satoshi…" Daisuke stood up walking over to the tall boy in front of him. " I feel terrible for how I…erm…Dark…reacted." He looked down at the floor.
"It's not your fault Daisuke." He placed a hand on Niwa's shoulder. "At least you told me about it." He lifted the smaller boy's chin with his other hand and leaned in closing his eyes to touch his lips against Daisuke's. Kissing him affectionately, in acceptance of the apology. It felt as if the entire load of guilt had been lifted from Daisuke's shoulders the instant Satoshi's soft lips had touched his. The two wrapped their arms around each other, Satoshi's right hand supporting the back of Daisuke's head, his left traveling down his back. He could feel his own heart racing in his chest, the familiar heated feeling spreading throughout his body. Satoshi pulled away from Daisuke, clutching at his chest as the heat began to turn to pain.
"Satoshi!" Daisuke desperately wanted to rush to his aid…but that would only make things worse, Daisuke himself was what made Satoshi transform into Krad. His knees buckled and he fell to the ground, his hands clutching at his back where the wings would soon sprout.
"Daisuke…leave!" Satoshi looked up at him pleadingly. "Get away from me!" He closed his eyes painfully, when he reopened them his once beautiful ocean blue eyes, were a catlike yellow. "Daisuke! Get out of here before Krad comes out!"
(Daisuke let me out!) Dark ordered, Daisuke was too scared to think. He didn't hear Dark screaming in his mind to let him out. He was occupied with what was happening to the boy withering in pain on his floor. Satoshi shut his eyes tightly again, he was on his knees breathing heavily his hands clutching at his own shoulders. He could feel the sensation of his flesh ripping and tearing as the white wings of Krad sprouted from Satoshi's back. Daisuke looked on in horror as the blood spattered everywhere. It dripped from the white wings as they spread out. Krad stood up from the floor looking down at Daisuke gleefully.
"Daisuke Niwa, we meet again." His eyes flashed hungrily. He was eager to hurt the boy, see his red blood flow. Watch the tears fall from his pain filled eyes, that's what Krad lived for to cause other's pain.
(Daisuke how many times do I have to tell you, let me out before Krad does something!) Daisuke now heard him, but he couldn't think of any romantic scenes between him and Satoshi the shock was preventing him from feeling anything. Krad smirked devilishly at Daisuke, stepping closer to him until he was against the wall.
"I've been waiting for this moment for so long, Master Satoshi won't allow me to have my fun." He put his hand to Daisuke's neck, clenching it tightly in his strong grip. "You sicken me, I don't know what Master Satoshi sees in you." Daisuke was gasping for breath, Dark was trying desperately to gain control. Krad was psychotic he could do anything to Daisuke, and if he was to die so would Dark. "Poor, poor Dark Mousy forced to watch his own tamer's death."
(STOP IT KRAD!) Satoshi shouted at the demon, trying everything he could to regain his body. (JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE!)
"Quite Satoshi! Your spoiling my good time." Krad smirked as he threw Daisuke down slamming his back on the floor, holding him down by his neck. Daisuke was clawing at Krad's hands fighting for breath, he could feel the sensation of fading. He was starting to loose consciousness. Seeing this Krad released him allowing Daisuke to take in a breath of air. "I'm not allowing Dark to come out that easily" He grinned pinning Daisuke down on the floor. "What fun this will be." He eyed Daisuke hungrily licking his lips he whispered. "I've been craving to taste your hot flesh Niwa, see your blood run from your veins, lick the crimson liquid from your wounds.
"Dark what is he going to do!" Daisuke cried to his other half in terror, withering under the weight of the demonic angel.
(I don't know, Daisuke I'm telling you, you must try to turn into me!...Daisuke?...DAISUKE?" Dark called to him but the boy didn't answer, he stared at the crazed golden eyes in front of him, his breath was coming out in quick shallow gasps of fear. Suddenly Krad dug his nails into Daisuke's left shoulder, pulling his hand down tearing into the skin. Daisuke cried out in pain, the scream only fueled Krad's psychotic desires and he bent down licking up the blood then bit down hard on Daisuke's flesh, tearing it with his teeth,
"AHH! DARK MAKE HIM STOP! WHY IS HE DOING THIS?" Daisuke shouted as hot tears flowed from his eyes. The pain was immense in his left shoulder, Krad's teeth felt like razor's slicing deeply into him, over and over.
(Krad is a demon Daisuke, and like all demons he thirsts for the flesh. You have to get him off of you!) Daisuke obeyed trying his best to kick Krad but his attempts were futile. He was much larger and heavier than Daisuke, and he currently had his full weight upon him. He stared down at a struggling Daisuke smiling, showing off the blood stained teeth as he bent his head down to bite into his neck.
"Get your hands OFF OF HIM!" Krad paused and turned his eyes towards the door, spotting Emiko standing there sternly. "I said…get off of him!" Her eyes held suck disgust and rage Krad actually obeyed getting off of Daisuke, licking the blood from his lips.
"I will get you Daisuke Niwa." He threatened before running to Daisuke's balcony and taking flight. Almost immediately Emiko rushed over to her son, cradling him in her arms. Daisuke held on to her the tears still falling from his eyes.
"Oh Daisuke! What did that monster do to you!" She cried holding her only son. "I knew it was a bad idea to let that Hikari in here. But I didn't say anything, now look what has happened!" She brought Daisuke down to the bathroom and began to bandage the wound on his shoulder, it was difficult to stop the bleeding at first but eventually the blood began to clot. "How could I let this happen, in my own house. Krad here attacking my son under my nose!"
"It's no one's fault mom." Daisuke had finally calmed down a bit with the help of Dark and his mother.
"I don't want you seeing Satoshi any more Daisuke…I can't risk that happening again." Emiko stated sadly she understood Daisuke valued their friendship.
"But…mom…" Daisuke's voice was quite, he wasn't angry with his mother. It just hurt to even think he couldn't see Satoshi anymore, the boy he adored despite his homicidal other half. His mother looked at him concernedly. "…alright."
Meanwhile Krad had made his way back to Satoshi's apartment, opening the doors he walked inside the uninviting living room gave Satoshi back his control.
(Damn that Bitch.) Krad spat. (Ruining my time of fun.)
"What do you have against Daisuke Krad!" Satoshi was outraged, he was clenching his fists digging his nails into his own flesh. He wasn't just mad at Krad but at himself as well, he had been careless and now Daisuke had suffered because of him. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes.
(That Niwa boy is so fun to play with Master Satoshi.)
"Shut up Krad." He hissed through clenched teeth.
(His flesh was so warm, I can still taste the metallic flavor of his blood on my lips. And the way he screamed withering in pain. That was classic, I can't wait to find him again.)
"Shut….up….Krad." The tears began to well up in his eyes, Krad was flashing the images in his mind. "Stop it!" Satoshi shut his eyes tightly trying to get it out of his head.
(I'll get him again Master Satoshi, and you will watch. Yes you'll watch as I tear into that tender skin, watch the blood run down, hear him calling for help. I'll show him what real pain is next time, and I'll do it all in your form Satoshi.)
"SHUT UP KRAD!" Satoshi shouted slamming his fists against the wall. The tears finally falling from his eyes. "Shut…up." He choked out sliding down to the floor covering his face. "What have I done Daisuke?" he asked out loud to no one, shutting his eyes as the sobs escaped him. He knew what had to be done, there was no way out. He couldn't protect Daisuke from Krad, things would only get worse he had to protect the boy he loved. Even if it meant breaking his heart.
