Dark Wings of Change
Koway: okay, the last chapter was a bit confusing so I'll try an clear it up. Daisuke, Satoshi, and Krad are trapped within the Memory of the Soul artwork. When each went into a door, Memory (the artwork's nickname), created a person from their memories to keep then busy while she did her plan. She created another Krad, Satoshi, and Dark whose real names are Taku, Saito, and Hiruku. Okay? The three have real forms and will be in here later but does anyone feel confused now? Thank you for all the reviews and enjoy chapter 12!

Chapter 12: Saito and Riku
"Memory…will you tell Saito to meet me upstairs?" Rika's voice held something as she spoke. She was laying beside her thief, watching him smile at her touch.
As you say, master
"Thank you." She gave Dark a long kiss before she stood up. "I'll be right back, wait for me."
"Of course, my Rika." He gave her a light peck on the cheek and watched her go. Memory had already left and he was alone. Dark went over to the window and sighed before something moved in the field below him. "Who is there?"
As he asked, a rather small white bunny hopped up. "Kyu!" Dark stared at it for a moment; its big red eyes caught his attention. 'Red? Why do I remember red? Those eyes...so familiar.'
The critter hopped onto Dark's arm and 'kyu-ed' as the thief pet its soft fur. "Why do you seem so familiar?"
"Kyu?" the rabbit answered, tilting its head.
"No, it was nothing…" Dark blinked once and sat down. With went with him.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
"No way." Krad said after hearing Hiruku's plan. 'It may not be the real Dark but he still has his mind...'
"Why not? It's the easiest way to get inside!" the angel argued. A knock at the door ceased their conflict and Saito motioned for them all to hide.
"Yes?" Saito asked. He stared at the little girl before he asked again. "What would you like?"
Rika would like to see you, Saito. She is waiting upstairs
Saito nodded and was about to close the door when she stopped him. She looked around the room. Someone was there, she felt it. Saito was hiding something and she wanted to know.
If you are planning something, I will not be responsible for the effects of your actions
He nodded and she left with one final note that she whispered into his ear.
You wouldn't want anything to happen to your friend like the last time
Saito nodded shakily and she left. He shut the door and Hiruku went over to him. Taku followed with the others. "Hey, c'mon Saito…" He said. "We'll beat her…we have help. Saito?"
"No! I'm not going to lose someone like last time!" The teen held his head and Taku looked at him with big golden eyes.
"What happened last time?" Daisuke asked in a caring voice.
"Saito's friend, Riku, was killed because he disobeyed Memory's orders…" Hiruku turned to Daisuke. "He would have looked a bit like you only with longer red hair, if he was created now…"
"It was my fault, I was too slow and couldn't keep up so he made me wait for him and he was gone…" Saito said. "If you saw his true form, he had short blue hair with silver eyes. He was…the only person that I liked…I miss him."
"Saito…" Taku's voice was soft and the boy gave a smile as he picked him up.
"Well, that's not going to happen this time! C'mon, we have to act while she's away from Dark." Hiruku turned to Satoshi with a grin. "That's where you come in."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
"You called?" Saito walked into the upstairs room and saw Rika sitting at a table. Her brown eyes looked false, deceitful.
"Sit, we have much to talk about." Saito obeyed and watched her carefully. "Have you taken care of the angel that attacked Dark?"
Saito gave a silent nod. He couldn't open his mouth for he knew that she had ways of making people talk. She was the real artwork and this was her domain. "Good, where is he now?"
'I knew she'd do something like this.' "I-I've asked someone to take care of it." He held back a sigh of relief as she away. "Anything else?"
"If you are lying to me, I will not show any mercy. Wait, Memory will show you something, oh Memory."
The girl appeared within seconds and Rika smiled an evil smile. "Show Saito the basement. He should get used to his new home."
"What?"
"You'll like it down there. We cleaned it and made it just for you." She flashed a smile and Saito wanted to run. Something bad. 'I hope they were able to find Dark...' He thought and he followed the girl.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
"I swear! Of all the stupid ideas, this by far is the worst!" Satoshi walked down the hall growling. He had been forced to act as a lost little child. He wouldn't have minded if it weren't for the fact that he was dressed as a girl!
"C'mon, it's the only way to keep Memory busy. All you have to do is run around. Only girls and some important men are allowed and she knows what you look like so you have to go as a girl." Hiruku explained and Satoshi's jaw dropped.
"It's for Saito, please?" Taku asked in a voice no one could refuse and Satoshi growled as a yes.
"Hey, at least it's not goldy locks over there!" Hiruku laughed, pointing at Krad.
"I will kill you...soon."
"Okay, let's just get going." Daisuke was trying to play peacemaker as Krad shot death glares. Hiruku nodded and grabbed the stunned blue eyed boy.
"Stupid Hiruku…he is just like Dark…stupid and immature." Satoshi nodded then gave a shy smile. "Heh, Krad as goldy locks…there's something you won't see everyday."
When he turned the corner, he saw Saito disappear behind the girl that he was supposed to distract. 'Maybe ii should follow them...'
"What have we here? A lost little girl?" Satoshi looked up to see two narrowed brown eyes looking at him. It was Rika.
He nodded and she took his hand. "You're not allowed upstairs, I'll take you to wait until Memory is done. She'll help you."
Satoshi nodded. 'I just have to keep quiet and she'll believe my act.' He was lead to the main hall and sat on the bench that had appeared.
"You wait here and she'll be right back. I have to attend to some other matters. Was there anyone else with you?" she gave a half-hearted smile and Satoshi shook his head as a no. She nodded and left.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Okay, Saito said that Rika's room was the most likely place that Dark would be." Hiruku announced in a whisper as they went through each floor. "It's on the second floor. The third door at the end."
"Okay!" Daisuke ran first and Taku followed. Hiruku was to stand guard and notify them of anyone coming. 'I'm coming Dark.' "Ah, the door's locked!"
"Now what?" Taku asked. Daisuke smiled.
"I'll take care of it, I can pick the lock in no time." Taku nodded and watched as the redhead did just that. The lock opened with a click and Daisuke opened it. What he saw was a man standing there with a look of confusing and a white rabbit in his arms.
"Dark!" Daisuke wasted no time in running over and embracing the thief in his arms. "I was so worried about you."
"Who? Who are you? Where is my Rika?" Daisuke's eyes widened at his words and a look of pure horror crossed his face.
"Y-you don't remember me?" he asked, fearful of the answer that was about to come.
"I'm sorry, but I do not recall ever meeting you. Are you one of Rika's friends? She said that she would be right back." Dark answered and Daisuke took a step back. His eyes were full of tears that were running down his face.
'He doesn't remember me...h-he's forgotten me, for Rika.' Daisuke felt as if his heart had shattered and was now in pieces. "Do you remember anything?"
Dark looked to the ground and sighed. "No, nothing but a pair of red eyes…" He turned to him. "Like yours."
'Do you remember this?" Daisuke reached up and kissed the thief's lips. Dark was startled at first but returned it. It felt right and Taku could see the haze slowly leaving Dark's eyes. Daisuke pulled away and looked at him.
"Dai…Daisuke." Dark blinked and held his head. "Daisuke, why am I here?"
"Dark!" the boy gave his counterpart a warm embrace and Dark rested his head on Daisuke's shoulder. "I missed you…" Dark trailed kisses down his back.
"And I you. Now where—what the heck happened to Krad!" Dark broke off his thought when he noticed Taku standing there.
"Oh, that's Taku, a mini Krad…" Daisuke said. Dark's eyes went wide before he began laughing.
"A mini Krad! Hahahaha! That's funny!"
"Yo, someone's coming we've got to go!" Hiruku appeared in the doorway and Dark went silent. "Wow."
"I have a twin also?" the thief looked to Daisuke who nodded.
"His name's Hiruku and I'll explain later c'mon, we've got to get out of here!" He grabbed Dark's arm and turned to With. "Let's go With!"
"Kyu!"
Hiruku locked the door and lead them down a separate hallway as Rika come upstairs. She unlocked the door and went inside. They ran past as fast as they could and down the stairs. Taku held onto Hiruku and Dark flew with Daisuke.
Rika came out with and evil look and yelled. "Saaaaiiiittttooo!"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
Welcome to your new home, Saito
He remained quiet and looked around. It looked more like a prison than a room. He was about to say something when he saw that Memory was gone and the door was locked. "A trap!"
"Yeah…th…they arranged it…Saito-kun." A voice from behind got his attention and he turned to see silver eyes staring back at him. Saito's eyes widened and he felt weak. His breathing became scare as the person walked out from the shadows.
"R-Riku?" the words barely got out before Memory slashed through him and he fell.
You know what I told you, don't you? You were hiding something and now you shall pay
"I think not, Memory." The girl turned and saw Krad. "You'll do no more."
You think that you can stop me? Ha, you're even more foolish than I thought, Krad Hikari
"Hm. Glad that you remember me. Now, it's time you've been sealed for good." The angel said and turned to Riku. "Get Saito away from here. If you can, call Hiruku or Taku."
The teen looked at his fallen friend. It had been fifteen years since he had vanished and he quickly picked up the blue haired teen. With the little energy he had, he ran past Krad and Memory.
'Krad Hikari...how did he get here?' He thought and collapsed as soon as he reached a safe distance.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Where are they?" Satoshi was annoyed. Not only was he in a dress, but he was being pestered by this sense telling him to leave.
"Satoshi!"
"Ah, Daisuke! Dark!" The two angels landed and Dark stared at the boy. "Not a word…"
"Yeah, nice dress, Satoshi. Hahahahahahaha! Ow!" Satoshi whacked his head and was about to take off his disguise when he heard a scream.
"What was that?" Daisuke asked.
"Saito!" Hiruku grabbed Taku and flew down the hall. Dark, Satoshi, and Daisuke were close behind.
They stopped when they saw a trail of blood leading to two teens. "Sai…to…"
"There you are, I was afraid I wouldn't find you, Dark." Everyone turned to see Rika standing there. She looked at each one before glaring at Daisuke, who was in Dark's arms.
"You, Memory's true form…Rika." Hiruku said angrily.
"You should know better, Hiruku, Taku. Disobedience will not go unpunished. Saito paid with his life, as did Riku. You two shall also pay."
"I won't let you hurt them!" Dark stated and Rika was caught off guard. Hiruku tackled her down and they heard a cry from beneath them.
"Krad!" Satoshi was the first to be there and see the angel fight against the girl.
Without your powers, you are a useless mortal. Our creators were fools for making you!
"How sweet…" Krad pulled out a feather and began to chant. Memory smirked and Krad saw her glance at Satoshi. "I'll warn you only once."
"Krad?" The boy wanted to help. Up until just a few days ago, he hated the angel and now that they finally told each other how they felt… "Let me help you."
"Master Satoshi, stand back!" Krad had an icy tone but the detective could sense concern behind it. The boy turned to leave when Memory launched a wave of energy at him. "Master Satoshi!"
Koway: okay…there was a bit of fluff (sorry if it wasn't a lot! I meant to add it in but I couldn't find a place for it in this chapter so it'll have to be in the next one) and I didn't want to make it too long because it would lead too much into the next chapter. Sorry! There was some action and I hope you liked it. Rika's pretty upset and I told you a bit about Saito. Sorry if you guys didn't like it and I'll try and make the next chapter better. It's really hard to write two stories! Thank you all for the reviews. negolataknofelet, BlueSkyBlue (), Miko102 (), Lady Darkand Light, Everto Angelus, darkest moon, and LupineLightning-IllusionDragon! Thank you!
