Chapter 14: The end of Rika…
"Rika, you will fall." Saito wiped the tears from his eyes and growled at her. She started to laugh.
"You? You are all alone now. Hiruku, Taku, and even Riku have been killed. You are next." Her eyes narrowed as both Krad and Dark stepped beside him. Saito glanced at them.
"You're not alone, we'll help you." Dark said and Daisuke gave a nod. Krad's eyes watched Rika as he nodded in agreement. "Then we'll all leave."
"It seems that I have recovered my energy, how nice…" Krad smirked as he toyed with some energy on his fingers. Rika glared at Dark.
"You…you traitor! Face your memories, Dark Mousy!" A purple aura surrounded the thief and all his memories flooded into his mind. It was too much. "Do you wonder why you couldn't remember anything? It was because I was using them to make a trap. It worked, no?"
"You know what I hate most about you?" Riku turned to see Krad with an energy ball. She let out a gasp. "You don't end fights quick enough." He shot it at her and she was able to block most of it.
"Daisuke, Satoshi. I must ask you for a favor." Saito said. They nodded. "Get as far away as you can. When Rika unleashes her full strength, then you may be in danger."
"But—" Daisuke was interrupted when he saw Dark curl into a ball while holding his head. He fell to the ground and curled himself closer. "Dark! Dark, fight her!"
"Daisuke we have to go." Satoshi said, grabbing the boy's arm.
"What about Dark! Don't you care about Krad?" the boy was close to crying and Satoshi pulled harder. "Well?"
"I trust them…Krad and Dark will make it…" the boy took one last glance as the angel locked hands with Rika. 'Please be alright, Krad.'
"Go now! Before she notices!" Saito yelled and the two ran towards the exit of the building. Rika kicked her opponent in the chest and broke his hold. She saw the two running. She smirked as she pulled out another arrow.
"Master Satoshi!" Krad saw what she was doing and was able to warn them. The shot just missed them and the golden haired angel grabbed another one of his feathers before he leapt at her. Saito crouched beside Dark.
"C'mon Dark…you can beat this. I know that it's hard but you have to defeat it, for Daisuke."
Dark's eyes opened and he shook his head. It made the headache worse and he regretted that. "Daisuke…" Saito nodded and Dark spread his wings. He was going to fight, headache or not, he wanted Rika to pay for trying to harm Daisuke. Whipping out a black feather, he began to chant.
"Ecto nigin haz pa gengaben hena bex ve gen ada kem yaku sumateta Kreda disonta!" The energy surrounded the feather and Dark flew at her. She had Krad pinned and hadn't noticed until it was too late.
"Dark!" She cried as the magic began to work. Saito formed a sword and was about to trust it into her when she shot an arrow into him. "I will not die without taking you all with me!"
"Saito!" Krad caught him as he fell. Dark had taken over the fight with Rika. "Saito…are you hurt badly?"
"N-naw…just a minor set back…hurry, you must seal the artwork before she adds more power to destroy Dark…" Saito saw the look of concern in the white angel's eyes and sighed. "I'll be alright…hurry."
Krad nodded and began the sealing spell. Dark winced as the memories that were most painful repeated themselves over and over again. She smirked at his pain.
"Dark…if you come back to me then I'll relieve you of those painful memories that haunt you."
"No! I don't like you! I love Daisuke, not you! I hate you!" Dark yelled as the memories came back again. Rika growled and she broke free from his grip. The thief was tired. He was fighting both her and his memories at once and it was hard.
"Then you will perish." Dark's feather burst into flames as her energy rose. Her eyes went completely white as she placed more power onto Dark's mind. He twitched and fought back the urge to fall.
Then, her power on him weakened. 'Maybe she's feeling the effects of being sealed.' He thought. But just as her grip on him loosened, she struck back with ten times the force. Dark passed out from the sudden wave of pain and fell onto the ground.
"Now I shall finish you." She aimed an arrow.
"Rika!" The woman turned to see Saito. He was holding his sword and she just smirked as he tried to attack her. "Hurry Krad!"
"What!" She took her eyes off her opponent for a split second and felt the energy that Krad was emitting. That was all Saito needed to strike her with the sword. "Ah! Curse you!"
"Ah!" Saito was shot by her arrow and fell beside Dark. He couldn't last any longer and slowly began to disappear when he felt someone helping him. He looked to see two dark purple eyes. "Hi-Hiruku…"
"We'll wait for you...just defeat her..." Hiruku vanished and Saito saw that he was unharmed and Riku was gathering all her energy for one big blast at Krad. As she fired, he noticed that someone had blocked it from its target.
Krad stopped his chant as he felt his heart pound. The smoke cleared and all eyes were on Satoshi. He had ignored Saito's advice and had blocked the attack from hurting his angel. Daisuke was by Dark's side and held him close. "Sa…Satoshi!"
Rika began to laugh as the boy fell. "How foolish to think that because you step in, he will be safe. Hahahahaha! Your sacrifice was in vain, child!"
"It was not…" She glared at Krad. His spell was finished and he held the detective in his arms. Then she felt it. The spell was complete and her energy was slowly leaving her.
"Nooo! How did you! I will—" Someone held her arms. She saw the thief and gasped as Krad's spell made her vanish in a flash of blinding light. Dark let out his hand and caught the Memory of the Soul artwork as it fell before he fell into Daisuke's arms.
"Satoshi, Master Satoshi?" Krad was holding his emotions as he embraced his lover. A few tears found their way out and slid onto his cheek. "Master Satoshi…wake up…"
Saito watched and went over to them. He placed a gentle hand on him and closed his eyes as he gave him what he had left of his energy. Krad watched and smiled a real smile when the boy nuzzled against him. Saito stepped back and turned to Dark and Daisuke.
"Dark," the thief looked up at his name. "If you wish, then I can give you your memories back…because of Rika, you only remember what has happened the past few days. It's entirely your decision."
Dark eyes looked into fiery red ones as he thought. "Daisuke, do you want me to regain my memories?"
Daisuke was shocked. Dark was asking him to decide! Before, he would have just said yes but now things were different. Daisuke didn't want to have Dark remember fighting Krad all those years…or losing his love, Rika. Though now he might not care…but it was a hard decision.
"Anything?" Saito asked, tilting his head to the side. His blue eyes watched as Daisuke thought.
"Saito…is there a way that you could only make him remember the good events of his life?" Daisuke asked feeling hopeful. Saito shook his head and Daisuke's hope vanished.
"No…one cannot have only good memories, they must also have the sad, unhappy, and even painful ones or they would not be considered memories." Saito stated. "I'm sorry, Daisuke."
Daisuke sighed and hugged the thief closer. He didn't want Dark to remember all his memories…just the ones that were worth it. 'What if Dark remembers and goes back to himself? What if he remembers and is mad because of Riku? I want him to be himself but he's so cute now...'
Daisuke let out another sigh and felt Dark hug him closer before giving him a soft kiss on the cheek. Dark stood up and looked at Saito. "I-I want…to have…the memories I have now…and let Daisuke give me new ones to remember."
"What? But Dark this could be you—" Daisuke went quiet as he fell into Dark's chaste kiss. The boy returned the gesture before the purple haired teen pulled away and looked him in the eye.
"Daisuke, when Rika flashed all my memories so I would remember…I saw that you were sad, because of something that I did." Daisuke remembered when Dark had kissed Risa and he lost his first love. "I don't want to make you sad…only happy."
Dark gave a wink and the boy blushed. "Remember what I said, when we went to see Satoshi and Krad?" Daisuke thought back to their meeting…
"Because I also heard a voice. It was hurt and full of sadness…that's why I'm here. To make the sadness go away!"
"I said that I wanted to make the sadness go away…and I'll do that!" Dark was crying and Daisuke watched as he turned away. "I love you Daisuke and I don't want you to be sad when I'm here. Kay?"
The red eyed boy went beside him. Dark turned to face him and Daisuke gently wiped away his tears. "Thank you…I won't be sad if you're around. I love you as well." He placed a passionate kiss on his counterpart and heard a light chuckle behind them.
"Well, if that is what you want, Dark. Then you shall have it." Saito smiled and disappeared. Everyone watched as the Memory of the Soul changed it's appearance from a picture of Rika to a painting of Saito, Taku, Hiruku, and Riku.
"I guess that they're free…" Dark whispered. "The new Memory of the Soul. Krad, can they do that? Krad?"
Daisuke let out a slight blush as he and Dark saw that Krad's wings had concealed both him and Satoshi. 'Oh, I guess he's a bit busy...' Dark started laughing and Daisuke blushed harder when he felt Dark bring him close. "Should we bother them?" He asked, kissing Daisuke's cheek.
He looked at them then back at Dark. "Maybe we should tell them that we should be going. Mom's probably worried." The thief nodded and picked the boy up before he tapped on Krad's wing.
They moved and revealed a happy Satoshi in an angel's embrace. "We were just going to leave. Coming?" Dark asked as they stood up.
Satoshi smirked. "In a minute." He kissed his angel's lips and when they parted, he nodded. "Now we can go." Krad held him close, like Dark, as they all walked outside. It was well past midnight. They had been there all day. Dark held Daisuke in one arm and the artwork in the other.
"Mind if we keep this?" he asked.
Both Krad and Satoshi gave a nod. "It's yours."
"May we, Satoshi?" Krad said, placing the boy down. Another nod. "Goodbye Dark, Daisuke. We'll see you some other time."
"Alright. Maybe we could forget the past of you and Dark, right." Krad smiled at Daisuke.
"Already done. Farewell, Wing Master, Daisuke. As well as you, Dark Mousy." Krad grabbed Satoshi as they flew back home. They waited until they were gone when they headed home.
"What do you think will happen now?" Daisuke asked as they walked onto their street. Dark gave a confused look and Daisuke sighed. "Well, are you still going to be a thief?"
"Only if it makes you happy." Dark whispered, pecking his cheek. He gave a wink. "Anything…"
