Separated Wings
Chapter 2
Written by: It-chan
"Riku-chan,"Daisuke muttered as he stepped to into the aeroplane.
Somehow, he heard Riku's voice in the air, calling out for him. He blinked and shook his head.
"I must be dreaming," Daisuke said.
"Dreaming of what, Dai-chan?" Emiko asked looking at her son who was behind her.
Daisuke blushed.
"No-Nothing," Daisuke said.
"I know you are depressed because of your parting but this will help Dark comes out," Emiko explained.
"Emm, I still can post letters to her," Daisuke cheered up.
"Hmmm… I'll think about it," Emiko said.
"Mother!" Daisuke exclaimed.
"Don't worry Daisuke, she's just joking," Kosuke, Daisuke's father said from behind.
"Emiko's always like that," Niwa Daiki, Daisuke's grandpa added from behind Daisuke.
"I get it," Daisuke answered back frowning though in his mind, there was another question 'I hope what mother said is not true. I can't stand it. I rather jump off a 40 story building and land without my acrobatics then not sending a letter' was what Daisuke thought.

"This is Malaysia?" Daisuke asked Emiko.
Emiko nodded.
"The airport looks more modern compared to the Kansai airport," he said in awe.
"You haven't look outside yet," Emiko said.
"Emm, I can't wait," Daisuke said smiling lightly and sighed.
"Dai-chan," Emiko looked at her son. A part of her thought he looked cute and maybe that's why Riku liked him but another part of her was sad to part the happy couple, "don't worry, it will be over soon," she could just say to her son.
Daisuke frowned remembering that he had part with Riku. But then he had to move on. He smiled and looked at his mother.
"I'll try," he said.
"That's our Daisuke," Daiki said following Emiko and Daisuke.
"Daisuke, could you help with the luggage? Take the trolley there," Kosuke shouted from behind them waiting at the luggage pickup.
"Ok!" Daisuke answered cheering up even more.

Emiko stepped out of the air-conditioned area and out of the building.
"Ahhh," she sighed in relaxation, "it's such a warm day here in Malaysia!"
"I can't wait to go to the new house," Daiki said happily.
Kosuke came out, pushing the trolley followed by Daisuke.
"It's so hot!" Daisuke exclaimed as he came out, holding two big bags.
Daisuke was still wearing his jacket. He hasn't taken it out since he was at Japan because at that time, it was fall so it was quite cold in at night. He didn't know Malaysia would be this hot so he had kept it on. Daisuke put the bags down and took of his Jacket. He tied it to his neck.
Daisuke, you should have known. Malaysia is not a 4 season country," Emiko said angrily because Daisuke should know about this, "and anyway, this whether is perfect for a tan unless you want me to throw you to a dessert where it is far worst then this," Emiko said happily.
"Yes mother!" Daisuke said in alert.
Daiki and Kosuke sweat dropped.

"You're must be the new neighbour!" Emiko said to a lady next door.
She had brownish black hair.
"Yes. Where did you come from?" the lady asked.
"Japan,"
"That's quite far away! I see you have a son. How old is he?" the lady said looking at Daisuke who was helping his Father carry all the bags into the house.
"He's 14," Emiko joined in.
"Oh," she got more interested.
"He may look a little gloomy because he parted with his soul mate,"
"Soul mate? That early?" the Lady exclaimed in a shock
"In Japan it's normal"
"Here, most of them do that but the parent's don't allow it, even the school."
"Eh," Emiko said in confusion as she saw a young girl came out of the house. The girl was about Daisuke's age.
"Ma………," the girl called out but trailed of after seeing Emiko.
"Nana, come here for a while," the lady called out to her daughter.
The girl called Nana followed the lady's instruction obediently.
"Ya? (In Malaysia, it's pronounced as ye)" she said, looking a little nervous.
"This is Niwa Emiko, our new neighbour," the lady said as she introduces Emiko.
'Ummm…. What was it again? He-ro? Ahh!' Emiko thought. "Hello!" Emiko bowed.
Nana looked at Emiko confusingly.
"You need to bow back. She is from Japan," the Lady said.
"oh!" Nana exclaimed as she bowed back.
"How old are you?" Emiko asked, standing up again.
"14"
"What a coincidence. I have a CHILD that age too,"
"Really?" Nana looked up cheerfully. Her shoulder length hair swinging behind her.
"You can go. I'm sure her child needs a friend now," the lady said.
"You're welcomed to come," Emiko said.
"Terima Kasih!" Nana went smiling with glee.
Nana ran out of her house gate and entered the Niwa's.
"The room would be the last room on the right," Emiko explained.
"Emm," Nana replied.
"That's your daughter?" Emiko asked.
"Yes, her name is Lizana binti Tajuddin (for the Muslim's, the full name of a girl has to have a binti between her name and her father's name. for boys, the same condition is used only the binti will change into a bin and that's why Osama has a bin in his name. What? He is he simpelest form of example I can find)," the lady answered.

Daisuke was inside his room unpacking his things. His room was slightly smaller then his previous one but, it will do. He unpacked his clothes one by one. He was frowning, thinking of what Riku would say when she reads the note. Maybe she won't read it maybe she wouldn't go to his house because she'll find out at school asking the teacher. But….
Thump thump
Someone interrupted Daisuke by knocking the door. Daisuke stood up. He wondered who it could be. His mother would just come in. His father and grandfather would knock and call out his name but this was just a knock and silence.
(Outside)
"I wonder how she would look like," Nana thought.
"I hope she has the same interest as I have."
The door opened.
And to teenagers met for the first time in their life.
X
Daisuke stared at the girl in front of him and Nana stared back at him. At first there was silence but then, they noticed something wrong.
"HHHHAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" the both of them exclaimed at the same time.
Kosuke rushed up followed by Emiko and Daiki.
"What's wrong?" he asked
Both of them were on the floor staring at each other.
"Who are you?" Nana asked.
"I should be asking that." Daisuke said
Emiko went forward.
"Daisuke, this is our new neighbour. Her name is Nana," Emiko explained to Daisuke and turned to Nana. "This is my son, Niwa Daisuke."
"You mean, she is a he?" Nana asked nervously.
"Ara? I never said he is a she. I said he was a he but you thought he was a she and that makes he a she when he is a he," Emiko said.
"Huh?" Daisuke muttered.
"So, this was the she you mean?" Nana asked again
"I told, you, I never said she. I said he. He is a she. Wait," Emiko stopped thinking, "I mean she is a he." (To tell you the truth, I typed it accidentally wrong and refuse to correct it)
"So that's the only problem?" Kosuke asked, confused.
"Looks like it," Emiko answered.
"Then I'll be bringing the bags," Kosuke said as he went down.
Emiko stood up.
"Now Dai-chan, be good friends with her. I'll be downstairs storing all the food," Emiko said as she went down followed by Daiki.
"Okaaa-san," Daisuke muttered.
Daisuke wanted to be alone but he had to start making new friends so he'll start by her.
He stood up. He held out a hand to Nana.
"Here, let me help you up," Daisuke said politely smiling.
Nana smiled and took his hand generously.
"Thanks," she answered as she stood up brushing her jeans.
"Why don't you help me unpack?"
"Sure," Nana answered cheerfully.
X
"This belongs here right?" Nana asked Daisuke about the location of the stationery's.
"Yeah. Is it the last one?" Daisuke asked in the middle of hanging and arranging his clothes.
"Yes," Nana answered.
Nana walked to the middle of the room and sat on the floor cross-legged.
"Come on, let's talk. I want to know about Japan." Nana said as she motioned Daisuke to sit in front of her.
Daisuke took her invitation and sat in front of her.
"What do you want to know?"
"I'm not criticizing or anything but what's with your red hair?" Nana asked.
"Eh? It's weird?"
"In Malaysia it is. Unless you dyed your hair. Your hair will show up in the assembly. Every other one's are brownish black."
"Really?"
"Yah!"
"Your eye's too. The Malaysian people have brown coloured eyes. Yours is bright Red,"
"Well, it's normal in Japan. I have this friend with blue hair,"
Nana's jaw dropped of (this is just a figure of speech).
"You mean there are purple, brown and all?"
"Something like that," Daisuke answered thinking about Purple Dark.
"Uwah… scary… And the colours are natural?" Nana asked, more enthusiastic.
"Yeah," Daisuke answered.
"AH! It's late, I gotta go," Nana said as she stood up and walk towards the door.
"Ok, let me send you to the door," Daisuke volunteered as he stood up and went to the door.
X
"Auntie! I'm going home now!" Nana said to Emiko who was in the kitchen.
"Come again!" Emiko answered.
Daisuke opened the door for Nana.
"You know, your room is just next to mine," Nana managed to say to Daisuke.
"You mean that room was yours,"
"Yup, maybe I'll call you through the balcony,"
"As long as I'm not sleeping,"
"I'll make sure of that, BYE!"
"BYE!" Daisuke answered, smiling.
He closed the door and turned to look at the three people of this house other then him staring at him.
"Daisuke, have you forgotten about Riku-chan?" Emiko asked his son.
"No," Daisuke answered confusingly.
"Then why are you with that girl," Daiki asked.
"EH!" Daisuke blushed lightly.
"Although she is quite cute, you still have Riku," Kosuke said, receiving a nudge from Emiko.
"It's not that, she's just a friend," Daisuke explained.
"Make sure it stays FRIENDS and not added a GIRL. Or else it will become a burden sooner or later," Emiko said.
"Anyway, I want to write a letter to Riku so I'll be headed upstairs," Daisuke tried to find an excuse and headed up the stairs.
"Oh yeah, about mailing letters, I'm sorry but the stamps are very expensive so… I'm afraid you can't send letters to Riku-chan," Emiko exclaimed loud enough for Daisuke to here clearly.
Daisuke frowned. He already could feel his heart breaking into pieces. He didn't know what to do (or maybe I don't know what to write). Should he run to his room, should he just smile and said ok? Should he just turn back and run to the airport and get the first buy the first ticket to Japan? (Hard choices and I pick this one). Daisuke turned around to run outside but some how, his legs weren't responding. He smiled a sad smile while looking at the flight of stairs.
"I understand. I'll keep that in mind," Daisuke answered and went to his room.
(This part will be a little like the first episode)
X
(In here, every thing in '…' is thoughts and "…" is talking)
Daisuke shut the door behind him and locked it. He only wanted to be alone. He went to his bed and lied down.
'Riku-san, what do I do?' Daisuke thought.
'What did I do to deserve this?'
In Daisuke's mind, all the pictures of Riku and Daisuke popped up. Then, he remembered, the night when Daisuke and Riku watched the meteor shower and how sweet the memories were but now, its just forgotten memories.
"Eh?" Daisuke said in alert. He sat up, holding his chest.
"WH-what's hap-pening?" Daisuke said as he went to the mirror.
"Dark? Is it Dark?" He asked between groans.
"Wh-what do you…." Daisuke turned into Dark.
Dark stood up and gazed himself in the mirror.
"Long time no see Daisuke," Dark said to Daisuke through his mind.
"…"
"Sleep tight. It must be hard after a long time haven't turning to me."
X
"He should have already turned to Dark," Emiko said as she waited on the couch with Kosuke and Daiki.
A door upstairs creaked.
"Yo, everyone," Dark called out.
"Dark!" Every one exclaimed looking at Dark who was wearing Daisuke's clothes.
X
"So I'll just sneak out and that's all, right?" Dark asked Emiko.
"Yes, the target is Angel's Arch (this is from DNAngel game and I'm using it again). It's in the National Museum in Kuala Lumpur," Emiko said, adjusting the buttons on his clothes.
Today, Dark was wearing a normal zipped long sleeved jacket with a black singlet inside with a black trouser that shines under the moonlight. He wore a black glove too.
"You look gorgeous," Emiko shrieked in happiness looking at the result.
"Don't I always? Well, better get going. What time should I be there?"
"10pm," Emiko answered showing a duplicate of the card that she gave as a notice to the police.
"Well, I'm going," Dark said.
And with that, Dark flew of in the darkness of the sky.
X
At the museum……
(/…/ means Daisuke. /…/ means Dark)
"Do you think this phantom thief really exists? And why would he come all the way from Japan to Malaysia?" a police asked the officer.
"I don't know but we're keeping guard just incase. We have someone as slick as him too so don't worry. The only thing different is that Dark knows how to open locks," said the officer who was standing guard in front of the Angels arch.
Suddenly, a police came in.
"Officer, Dark has been spotted flying in circles outside!" the police said to the officer.
"We still have a chance. EVERYONE, GET OUTSIDE AND CATCH DARK MOUSY!" the officer instructed.
All the police ran out side and left the Angel's Arch alone. Meanwhile, Dark was in the room alone hiding behind thick and long pole. The pole was enough to hide a person.
"Well, Wiz took care of that. The officers here are very dumb like in Japan. Falling for a trick like a flying bird with no one on it," Dark said as he moved closer to the Angel's Arch. Just before he arrived to the painting a girl shot up from above and came face to face with Dark.
"You're not getting away with that, Kaitou Dark," the girl said smiling.
"You look familiar," Dark answered smiling back.
/Daisuke! Daisuke/ Dark called out urgently inside his mind.
/uhhhh…../ Dark could hear Daisuke waking up
/Daisuke! Are you awake/
/Dark/ Daisuke said sleepily and noticed something different. /DARK! What are you doing…. NANA/
/You noticed/
The girl in front of them was Nana. She was wearing a short kimono (I don't know the difference between Yukata and that Happy something. It's surely the Happy something from my experience in Japan. And these clothes are something like Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne so people who watched it, it's easy to think about it only it's not a skirt and it's a leotard with long tights that are black).
"So Dark, I thought you would wear clothes from you're homeland but looks like I am in the wrong costume."
"Well, you suit perfectly with that kind of clothes, don't bother to change."
Nana jumped down in an acrobatic style.
"Thank you."
"Impressive. Now, let e get the angels arch."
"I won't allow that."
"Then, I'll just have to be fast."
Dark jumped over Nana in a gracefull way and took the Angels Arch.
"Dark!" Nana shouted.
Dark glanced back to say bye but then, he got a kick on the face. Nana in the other hand, knocked Dark down and held his hands.
"I thought the famous Kaitou dark is much more powerful then this," Nana said smirking happily.
"Well, he has his own ways on girls," Dark said and pushed Nana to the ground and captured her.
"Now who's got who," dark asked.
"Then I'll shout. Police are all over the building,"
"You wouldn't dare,"
"Watch me," Nana said still smirking and opened her mouth and took a deep breath before shouting.
"Wait, I won't take the painting," Dark quickly responded.
Nana stopped.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes, I won't,"
"So let go of me already," Nana said.
"Just kidding," Dark said as he went closer to Nana's mouth and kissed her just like what he did to Riku.
/Riku…/ Daisuke remembered the incident as Dark kissed.
/She's not Riku ok// Dark explained as he let go of his kiss.
"I under….. Eh?" Dark suddenly changed to Daisuke.
Nana stared, completely shocked.
"Dai-Daisuke? Niwa Daisuke?" Nana stuttered.
"Nana……" Daisuke said confusingly and remembered what happened and quickly blushed.
Daisuke quickly stood up and took the painting with him. He ran towards the window.
"Wait! Dark, Daisuke, who ever!" Nana called out behind, following Daisuke.
'Wings! Wings! WINGS!' Daisuke prayed he wouldn't fall.
Red wings came out from Daisuke's back. Daisuke jumped out of the window and into the night sky. He panted. Growing wings were painful and tiring. He felt weak.
X
"Daisuke?" Nana said to herself confusingly.
'Is Daisuke, Dark Mousy? No, it can't be. Dark is, Dark is Dark. But then, why did I see Daisuke?' these question played inside Nana's mind. She walked slowly downstairs to report this to the officer excluding of she seeing Daisuke.
X
Daisuke reached his house and landed on the balcony gently but he went down on his knees with a bump. He needed rest and fast. He stood up weakly. He went into the room and collapsed to the ground…
TOBECONTINUED
EXTRA (I'm so good lol)
ding dong ding dong (the famous school bell in this anime)
Every one rushed to their classroom.
In the classroom…
"What's wrong with Riku?" A asked Risa.
"She looks so depressed," B said.
"Did something happen to Niwa-kun and her?" C asked.
(It is true in the game, there are A, B, and C. Just like the police.)
"Something like that," Risa answered looking at her sad sister.
'Riku, please smile, it hurts to see you this sad, I'm sure it hurts Niwa-kun more,' Risa said in her mind.
The whole class was talking about Riku. The girls were asking Risa what happened and was it between Daisuke and Riku and the boys were asking Saehara whether one of them were dumped by the other (which means either Riku dumped Daisuke or Daisuke dumped Riku). Saehara was panicking because he didn't know what happened. Riku could hear whispers everywhere. They were saying things about Daisuke and her and she couldn't handle it. Hearing Daisuke's name makes her heart hurt even more, more ever when they said Daisuke dumped her.
"JUST SHUT UP WILL YOU! I DIDN'T DUMP HIM AND HE DIDN'T DUMP ME!" Riku shouted so that the whole class could hear. After realizing her mistake she softened and said, "He just… he just…,"
Riku ran thru the back door. And just wept outside.
"Riku!" Risa called out as she stood up in alert.
"Harada Risa, please get your sister in the classroom because I want to announce something," a voice came from in front.
"Sensei!" Risa said as she turned to look at the home room teacher coming in (the homeroom teacher would be the only teacher if it wasn't for the cooking class teacher) "Yes," Risa said as she went out the backdoor.
X
"Riku, are you alright?" Risa asked Riku who was crying outside the class quietly.
"Why must he leave?" Riku said.
"Sometimes, there are things people must do. Like Dark-san, he left but did I cry? No, I moved on," Risa said as she leaned on the wall beside Riku "I wanted Dark again but maybe the only way is to marry Niwa-kun and get a son but I know Niwa-kun really likes you more to love. I thought of that many times but I didn't care cause there is someone I like, Satoshi-kun, so I moved on. I thought you were stronger than me but if I beat you in something like this, I'm way better than you."
Riku heard everything Risa said and felt stupid to act this way, she was the older sister and se acted like this. Maybe, that's what Daisuke meant, an errand for his family. Maybe that's why he had to go. Riku smiled.
"You're right Risa, I'll move on," Riku said wiping her tear.
Both of the stood up and headed for the classroom. They sat in their own seats and waited for the teacher to speak.
"Everyone, Daisuke had some family business so he had to go. He went yesterday night because of an emergency," the teacher said.
Everyone stared at Riku. Now they know why she was sulking.
"Now open your books to page…" the teacher continued.
X
Break time…
"Riku, sorry about just now, we didn't know what happened," the girls in the classroom gathered to apologize to Riku. They knew it was a hard time for her.
"That's ok, No hard feelings. I decided to move on," Riku said.
"Riku is always like that," a girl said.
"We will cheer for you!" another girl said.
"Why don't you go for Saehara?" a girl said.
"Saehara? Why him?" Riku said surprised.
"He's the closest to Niwa-kun, that's why,"
"I would rather couple with a cactus if it was him," Riku said.
The girls laughed. Soon, the day moved on like usual.
X
In the balcony of the Harada's…
"Daisuke-kun," Riku whispered.
The soft breeze swept past Riku. Riku looked at the stars.
"It hurts," Riku said as she remembered the night of the meteor shower.
A tear trailed down her cheek, "It hurts not being with you," Riku said.
"Please come back," Riku said.
END
Bleh… this chapter
is soo long… Luckily the next was just an extra, so I'm able to mash it inside.
Anyway, next time will be back at Dai-chan! XD
This chapter came out a little late because I was typing it. It was damn hard
and long. I needed a lot of ideas and the name Nana also was hard to make out.
Did you notice I got the name from the singer of the Fullmetal Alchemist
(Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) ending, Nana Kitade. Actually, I wanted to follow
Nina.
Actually, Nana is a mixture of Riku, Saehara (?), and Risa. As pretty as Risa,
as kind as Riku, and works like Saehara.
I think…
Oh well… NEXT CHAPPIE!
