Satoshi laid in bed wide awake; Krad had been going on and on all day about how he was going to get Daisuke; and how he better watch his back. Satoshi was reaching his limit of patience; he grabbed a pillow and put it over his face.
"Krad…tell me something!"
(And then I would!...what?)
"Why do you hate Niwa?" He asked curiously. "I mean…what is the reason for this whole rivalry?" Satoshi had an idea; he knew the Niwa's were thieves and the Hikari's were artists, but were exactly did it all begin?
(It's a long story; as you know one family were thieves the other artists. Well the Hikari art was thought to be so well done that each piece had a sort of life force to it. So you're ancestors wanted to create something that was alive and still art; they made a creation called the Black Wings. However the damn Niwa's heard about this and set it before themselves to stop your family from completing the Black Wings. So on the night of the ceremony the Hikari's were going to give their creation life, the Niwa's interrupted and then Dark and I were born into the youngest male member of each family. We are the life of that creation; and the Niwa's are responsible for splitting the life among the two families.)
Satoshi was unsure how to respond to that; he had heard of the Black Wings but never knew the story about it. "So…the curse was created because of the families rivalry. What if that rivalry was to end and they finally put the past behind them?"
(Your not thinking about trying to end the curse are you? Because the only way to get rid of me is to have your sacred maiden return your love…that Niwa is no maiden.) Krad laughed. (So I guess you're stuck with me for a very long time…Not that. That is a bad thing…I enjoy your company immensely Satoshi.) The boy shuddered.
"I honestly cannot say the same about you." He shot back coldly.
(Oh that hurts Satoshi.) Krad replied with false hurt in his voice.
"Good…you can get an idea of what I feel everyday…" He rolled over on his side. "Now I would like to get some sleep tonight."
(Fine…I'll leave…but you may want to watch yourself; I may pop up when you least expect it.) With that final word Krad receded to the back of Satoshi's mind; however the boy was still wide awake. What Krad had told him seemed like it could be of some use.
The Black Wings were the birth of Dark and Krad…could it be possible to reunite them? And finally end the curse once and for all? I would no longer need to worry about finding a sacred maiden; and Daisuke wouldn't have to fear Krad anymore. Our friendship could go back to the way it used to be…But…he wouldn't want to risk loosing Dark. He cares about him too much.
Satoshi turned over on his opposite side. No…Daisuke wouldn't want that…plus I don't think he even knows about the Black Wings…let alone how to reunite Dark and Krad with it. He sighed and closed his eyes. I'm just going to have to live with Kad…until I can't take it any longer. His thoughts lingered on until he finally fell into a light sleep.
The clock buzzed and Satoshi opened his tired eyes; it couldn't be time for school not yet. He reached up and shut off the device; he laid in bed for a few minutes before forcing himself to get up and get ready. He made it to school with no problem as usual, Satoshi couldn't remember the last time he had been late to class. He sat down at his desk; and soon a number of kids began to file in one by one, including Daisuke. Just seeing the boy again made his heart start to beat faster; and he felt the uncomfortable heat rising to his cheeks. Unknown to Satoshi, Daisuke was having the exact same problem.
He sat down glancing at the young police commander in the back of the room; he suddenly remembered a rather graphic scene from his little fantasy the previous night. He felt his cheeks heat up immediately and he looked away trying to get the thought out of his head. I don't get it…Why do I suddenly think of him in that way?
(Maybe because your realizing your true feelings at last…) Dark piped up suddenly.
"What the…Dark I wasn't talking to you!" Daisuke exploded. It was one thing for Dark to pop up randomly but to comment on his private thoughts was another thing.
(I'm just saying…maybe you have always had a…"Thing" for Hiwatari and your just now acknowledging it. I mean after all you did let him Jerk you off…and you did the same for him.)
"Yes I remember Dark you don't have to remind me!"
(you sure do think about it a lot…I mean even when you were still dating Riku, you were thinking about it.)
"I know that! And I'm confused why I do; I mean it all could be just a little infatuation." Daisuke sighed in exasperation, everything was just so confusing for him now. "Or I really do like Hiwatari…more than just a friend."
(Well look at it this way…have you ever had a relationship with anyone like you do with Hiwatari?) Dark was actually being helpful.
"Well no…I have never felt the way that I do…It's not the same as it was when I thought I loved Riku and Risa…"
(Then what is stopping you from making a move Daisuke!)
"I'm scared…"
(Of what?)
"Of being wrong and ending up hurting Hiwatari even more." He sighed in frustration. "…Like what I did at my birthday…I allowed him to…and I led him to believe that there was a chance…"
(So you don't want to make a mistake again.) Dark finished for Daisuke.
"Y…Yeah…"
(Well I'm sorry Daisuke…there isn't anything that I can tell you; just listen to what your gut tells you, there isn't anything else you can do.)
"…Yeah I guess so…" Daisuke shook his head in dismay and decided he better start paying attention; after all class had started about ten minutes ago. The first few hours of the day went by slowly; Daisuke couldn't wait to just go to lunch and get out of the classroom. It was only his second day back at school and he already wanted to leave. He watched the minute hand in anticipation; any second the bell would ring and he could get out for awhile. RRIIINNNGG Daisuke was up and out of his seat; however he paused at the door making a last minute decision. He waited and grabbed Satoshi's shoulder on his way out.
"Hiwatari…I need to talk to you." He began to lead him outside. Satoshi was confused as ever; first Daisuke had completely avoided him, then he wanted to talk to him alone. Which wasn't the greatest idea, he had warned him about Krad.
"Niwa…where are we going?"
"Is Krad awake?" Satoshi hesitated before searching his mind for the angel; who luckily was fast asleep, he had apparently tired himself out that morning raging on about killing the Niwas.
"No..." He responded slowly; still following the red head. Daisuke nodded and led Satoshi out to the school courtyard. "Niwa…we shouldn't go to far away from the school what if…"
Daisuke cut him off before he could finish. "If Krad comes out I can just change into Dark." He stopped in a secluded area. Satoshi recognized it; it was the very spot he had kissed Daisuke, and had been rejected. He began to feel uneasy being in this place again.
"So…what did you need Niwa…"
"Please…call me Daisuke…" the smaller boy pleaded.
"Alright…what do you want Daisuke…" It felt odd to say; but he loved the boy's name, and to be given permission to say it was the ultimate privilege. Instead of just saying it in his mind during his fantasies. Daisuke stepped closer to Satoshi; it startled the taller boy a bit and on reflex he backed up against the tree.
"Sato…I mean." He paused. "May I call you Satoshi?" He nodded. "Satoshi…I…I think; um I think, well uh…there is something, I uh…need to find…out." Daisuke's heart was racing in his chest; he knew what he wanted to do but wasn't sure if he could go through with it. Why did I bring him here? Why did I stop at the door? I should have just gone to lunch! What is wrong with me?
(Don't doubt what you're heart tells you to do Daisuke…) Dark whispered. Daisuke looked up at the taller boy before him; it was now or never. He leaned forward closing his eyes and paced his lips over Satoshi's. Satoshi felt as if he was in a dream; it wasn't possible that Daisuke would actually kiss him, it was too unreal. When he felt the boy's tongue slide along his lips begging for an entrance Satoshi gave in. He closed his eyes opening his mouth and allowed Daisuke to have his moment of dominance.
Satoshi then slipped his own tongue into Daisuke's mouth to claim him; he felt the boy's arms wrap around his neck pulling him closer. Satoshi held the redhead around the waist as he worked his tongue around and played with Daisuke's. Daisuke felt as if he was going to faint he was in such bliss. Nothing had ever felt more right; no one made him feel the same as Satoshi did. They had a mutual understanding between one another; they both knew what they were going through, no one else could ever understand what it was like to share a body with another being.
So it made sense; they should be with one another, end the curse once and for all. By ending the feud between the families. Daisuke felt a sudden hardness in his pants; that was another thing about the young commander, no one turned him on like he did. He realized that even when he had wanted to date Risa and Riku; there was never that sexual aspect in the relationship, because in actuality he never wanted them in that way. It was more like a friendship between him and the girls, and his friendship with Satoshi was more like an actual relationship.
Satoshi's hands traveled from Daisuke's hips to behind and down to his ass. He pulled the boy closer to him and grinded his hips against Daisuke's. The broke away from the kiss at that moment to get a much needed breath. Panting they just stared at one another; as if what they were just doing hadn't exactly dawned on them.
"Daisuke…" Satoshi panted. "…what was it…that you…needed to know?"
"If…what I was feeling…any different from…my crushes on Riku and Risa…"
"And your verdict…is?" Satoshi's heart was beating rapidly; he was somewhat uneasy about asking such a question, if the answer turned out to be what he feared.
"…It's much different…from them…" He smiled somewhat weakly. "I'm so close to changing into Dark…"
"You can still speak with him?" He questioned suddenly.
"Y…Yeah." Daisuke was confused. "What's wrong?"
"I was…just hoping…that the curse was lifted; but I guess it doesn't apply to boys." He looked away. "You're still in danger being around me…"
"What do you mean it doesn't apply to boys?"
Satoshi sighed. "Last night…Krad told me that even if you did return my feelings it wouldn't do anything, he would always be around because for some damn reason it has to be a sacred 'Maiden.'" He shook his head. " The only way to get rid of him is…the Black Wings…"
(The Black Wings!) Dark suddenly blurted. Daisuke winced from the sudden loud outburst.
"What…are they? Apparently Dark has heard of them…"
"I'm not sure…I just know it was an artwork my ancestors created…and the Niwa family interrupted this ceremony…and Krad and Dark were born." Satoshi explained vaguely.
(Yes…that's right…I completely forgot about it!)
"Dark…?"
"But…I don't know where it is…or how to get Krad back into it…but Dark would have to go too…" He let go of Daisuke and gently pushed him away. "I don't want you to loose your best friend because of me…and as you said…it all could just be an infatuation." It hurt Satoshi so much to say or even think the words but he didn't Daisuke to sacrifice everything just on the notion that he may feel something for him.
(I may know where the Black Wings are…and I'm sure if I were near it I could find the way to get both me and Krad back inside it.)
"Dark…would you really want to leave?"
(If it got Krad out of the picture…gladly.)
"Satoshi…Dark wants to end the curse as badly as we do…and he may know where it is…"
"Is this wise Daisuke? I mean this is very dangerous stuff we are dealing with." Satoshi warned.
"I don't care…if it gets rid of Krad once and for all…I'm all for it." He looked pleadingly at the young commander. "…I couldn't stand to loose your friendship…or love Satoshi…" He hesitated thinking things over long and hard before answering. He wanted to be with Daisuke; but there was that chance it wouldn't last and Daisuke would loose Dark forever. Then there was the risk of Krad finding out and ruining everything; or Dark couldn't find the Black Wings; or couldn't figure out how to get himself and Krad back into it. A number of things could go wrong; but it would all be for Daisuke.
Daisuke Niwa; the boy he had wanted to be with for years. The one he thought would never feel the same about him; was saying that he did feel the same way, and he wanted to end the curse with his help. He was willing to sacrifice Dark for his well being; and end his suffering once and for all. However he was unsure if Daisuke knew exactly what he was getting himself into; he still wasn't fully healed from the stab wound to his chest, and the punctured lung. Would he be able to handle such a task so soon; he highly doubted it.
"I don't know Daisuke." Satoshi finally responded. "Your hardly healed."
"I don't care about that…what matters is your freedom from Krad." Satoshi still felt uneasy about the whole idea.
"…Alright…but please…you have to be as careful as possible…"
"I will…don't worry…" Daisuke reassured. "I'll talk it over with Dark and my mom tonight to see if she may know anything."
"I'll see what information I can get…I think my stepfather has mentioned the Black Wings so he may have something of use."
"So we'll meet tomorrow morning in class?" Daisuke asked.
"yes." Satoshi turned to leave but Daisuke grabbed onto his arm to make him stop. Satoshi looked back at him; Daisuke leaned forward and kissed his lips lightly, Satoshi returned it then broke away. "I'll try to keep Krad from finding out anything." Daisuke nodded.
"We should be getting back to class." They began to walk back into the main courtyard of the school; Satoshi still was unsure about this whole plan. Krad could easily manipulate him, but that was the reason for the whole plan, to finally be free of him.
