Anyway, Dark is back with Daisuke, Memory launched an attack at Satoshi, and Saito was reunited with Riku! Oh, and Hiruku is fighting Rika. That's about it. Thank you all for reviewing and liking this! Oh, and one more thing, Riku looks the same as decribed in the last chapter. Thanks! Enjoy!

Chapter 13: Dark's Decision

"How could you so heartless to give life and then destroy it!" Hiruku had pinned Rika to the ground. Taku watched him as he tried to move Saito and Riku away. Rika said nothing. "You have lived off others for too long! This will all end soon."

An explosion from the basement grabbed his attention and she kicked out from under him. Dark and Daisuke ran to see what had happened and Taku was close to tears. "Saito…Saito-chan!"

Hiruku glanced at the boy before Rika summoned magic into her palms. 'She's still feeding off of Dark. That's why she hasn't turned into her true form.' Hiruku thought as he flew past her attacks.

"Why do you run, Hiruku? Do you fear me?" Her voice was icy and she grazed his arm with a small arrow. "Maybe I should take out young Taku. Say goodbye to your little friend!"

"Taku!" Hiruku turned too late and saw the arrow hit its mark. Hiruku's violet eyes widened as the boy turned into his real form. He had short light brown hair and amber eyes. Taku fell into Hiruku's arms and remained still until he vanished into nothing but a few sparkles. "Taku…"

"Ha! Now do you see how powerless you really are? I will do the same to you if you continue to disobey me." Rika laughed as the angel cried. "Well?"

"Never!" It was Saito who said it. He and Riku were on their feet and ready to fight. They were willing to give it their best even if they had no chance of winning.

"How cute…two long lost friends think they can defeat their creator!"

"Three." Hiruku stood behind them. "We three shall defeat you, for Taku."

"How heroic. You will all die for nothing!" Rika made a bow and arrow out of magic and the fight began…

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Master Satoshi!" Krad stepped in front of the blast just as it was about to hit. He used his wings to block the detective from harm. "Master…Satoshi…"

"Krad!" The angel fell into the boy's arms and panted from the strain of the attack. "Krad…why did you—"

"Anything…I'd do anything for you, Satoshi." Krad placed a sweet kiss upon the boy's lips and shakily got to his feet. He turned and faced Memory.

"Krad, I-I…thank you."

"Wow, you did all that for Satoshi. Good job." Krad glanced back to see Dark. Daisuke grabbed Satoshi before going back over to the thief. Suddenly the floor and the surroundings began to waver and disappear.

"What's happening?" Daisuke asked as he held onto Dark's arm for support. Satoshi wanted to be with Krad but held onto Dark as well.

"The Memory of the Soul must not be able to control our memories anymore." Krad stated as his golden eyes watched the girl in front of him. "Someone must have weakened her power, but whom?"

"It must have been Hiruku and the others!" Daisuke said as they appeared within the church where they first had been.

A light flashed and Rika stood there with and angry expression on her face. She glared at Daisuke before turning to the three others in the room. Saito, Hiruku, and Riku were in their true forms because her power was weakened.

Saito had long green hair that was tied back and dark blue eyes. Hiruku had jet black hair that fell to his ankles. It was also tied back as his deep wine colored eyes were fixed on Rika and the girl, Memory that stood by her side. His wings were still there; a deep lavender color.

"Where's Taku?" Satoshi asked and Rika gave a cruel laugh. Hiruku looked away and Riku did the same. Saito was the one who spoke.

"He was killed by her…" The words seemed to shock them all as they heard it. Dark glared at Rika.

"How could you do that? He was only a child!" He yelled and motioned for Daisuke and Satoshi to take a step back. He raised his wings in an offensive position and took a step forward.

"Dark, my dear. You love me, remember?" Rika was playing on his emotions he had recently remembered and she smirked as she saw him shake his head in an effort to clear it. "Remember, I'm the only person you ever loved…right, Dark?"

"S-Stop it! Get out of my head!" Dark went to one knee as her mind games went harder. Daisuke wanted to go over but was stopped by Saito's arm.

"He has to fight this on his own. He must either make it or die. That is how her power works." Saito said. Daisuke wanted to object but remained silent. "Hiruku, Riku, her power is still too strong. We must do something or she will overpower him!"

"Right!" Hiruku was the first to act. He charged at her and Memory countered with an assault of her own. He was hit and flung back. She had anticipated that. What she didn't expect was Krad and Riku both attacking together right after.

"Farewell, Memory!" Krad trust his feather and it landed in her chest. Riku used what he could of his power and together, she vanished. Krad landed on his knee and caught Riku. He was panting because of the use of energy and was really weak.

"Memory! You two shall pay dearly for that!" Rika formed her bow and took aim at them.

"Worry about yourself!" Hiruku attacked from the air and she quickly turned, firing two arrows into him as he struck her down. She fell but so did he. Because he was created by her, he was at her mercy but he didn't care. He would gladly give up his power to bring her down…and that's what he did.

"Hiruku!" Saito yelled at the angel. Rika had hit him right in the heart and he slowly disappeared within seconds. As the sparkles floated in the air, Saito couldn't help but feel happy for him…they had been trapped here for so long and now Taku and Hiruku were free from it.

"Hahahahaha! Like I said, you cannot defeat me!" Rika had turned to her true appearance. A woman with short brown hair and dark brown eyes stood in her place. She held her bow firmly in her hand and took aim. This time it was at Dark.

"Dark, I'll give you a choice." She said, pulling back her bow. "You stay with me or you go with Daisuke. Which?"

Dark shook his head as the pain came back. He forced himself to stand before he told his answer. "Daisuke! I would never want to be with you!"

"Then die!" A shot was fired and all eyes widened as Riku took the hit and vanished before Saito's eyes. "Three down."

"Riku…" Saito's eyes filled with tears as he disappeared. All was silent and Satoshi placed a hand on the teen's back. "I will not fail…"

"Saito…" the redhead whispered. Saito got up and formed a weapon like Rika had. His was a sword.

"Rika, you will fall."
