Hello alls! Tyan is well... (Cough, Cough.) laid off at the moment, so I'll be in her place for a while. (Bows.) Hello, the name's Tyantha. I'm the writer and basically Tyan's twin only she has black hair and I have brown. Well, on a lighter note... Thanks all for reviews, especially Hyper Chef, he's the one that kept me from deleting this story... Random Reader, the keys fit every door... Don't tell anyone, the bar tender will kill me, and um I may have made (a lot) typos inmy earlier chapters, i may go through and fix them... Since Dark has a different body than Daisuke, he can use his magic freely. He can make wings with his magic, but it only will only last so long... Well, anyways, on with the chapter.
Dark: (Pouts.) What about us?
(Jumps on Dark's back and hugs him.) I didn't forget about you guys, I just wanted to start the story early. (Gives Dark the puppy eyes.)
Dark: (Caves.) Fine...
(Smiles.) Yay! I win!
Chapter 8: Home Sweet Tavern
Live sometimes isn't fair. It can make us weak, or stronger. It all depends on the way we see things. No matter how many times you whine or complain, nothing's going to change. You have to make it change. Someone once told me to make my own luck not wait for it to come. Of course all of that went out the window the day I lost him. The day I lost my other half.
Dark searched till Wiz couldn't fly anymore. Dark wouldn't give up. It was Daisuke that kept him going and he would do anything for him. Wiz had long since fallen asleep on Dark's shoulder. Dark walked through the town trying to find him and get a clue of where he might be... That's when he saw it. Krad flying south. Dark's face hardened at the sight of him. He grabbed Wiz off his shoulders and ran after Krad dodging people, cart, and animals. By the time he was close enough to keep Krad in his sight, his muscles had been aching and throbbing. He stopped at the corner of an old brick building and panted as he watched Krad land on the roof of an apartment that looked like it could fall down at anytime. Dark leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, his heart rate some what returning to normal.
With a moan he pushed off the wall and put Wiz on his back, he was sore all over. He ignored it as he walked to the front door of the place. The door was dark green and had old bullet holes in it. He sighed, expecting traps as he turned the rusted door knob. Surprisingly there were none. He looked at the inside. It had a baby blue-ish pearl color painted on the walks and dark baby blue and black titles on the floor. It looked like a standard hospital from his time. Cautiously he took a light step inside. Nothing. Smirking a little, he took a few more steps before he shut the door. The sound the door made echoed throughout the place. The saying 'It's quiet... Too quiet' ran through Dark's head before he took the chance to run through the halls, hoping no traps were set. It couldn't just be coincidence that Krad flew over the town and landed here... It was too convenient. 'It's a trap.' Dark thought as he spotted an elevator and stairs just past them. That gave Dark an idea. 'Time to spring the trap Dark thought as he searched the area for cameras. Seeing none he pressed the up button on the elevator and waited till it opened. When it open he smirked. He reached inside and pressed the nearest button and took his arm out watching the doors shut. He smiled to himself and took off up the stairs. The stairs had the cheap carpet that you'd find in hotels. Stepping easier he went up the first flight of stairs... Floor 1... The next flight... Floor 2... He was about to go for the fourth floor when he noticed that the third floor looked like an expensive apartment. Looking through the glass on the door he watched a child with black hair run by. He thought that the kid seemed familiar, but shrugged it off. Dark waited a minute then cautiously opened the door to see the boy gone. Dark sighed in relief seeing no one there and walked onto the floor. He was in a hallway that ran on either side of him then they turned and looked like the hallway wrapped around the stair cases. Just on the other side of the hallway looked like it could of been a waiting room at one time, but was opened up more and turned into a livingroom or a family room.
Dark walked silently to the end of the hall and turned left, walking past a dead end hallway that was just behind him. Dark walked through the hallway opening doors to see if Daisuke was there. He ran into several doors that were locked. Dark quickly fixed that problem. The first one had a 21on it and was an empty room, except for and over turned bed. The next had tubes filled with a greenish water that had mutated monsters in it. Dark looked at it in shocked that something could look like a mutated human with teeth and claws on it. Dark left that room quickly and went on to the next two that were only filed with supplies for a usual hospital. Dark walked all though the halls going into every room, most were empty and some had scratch marks and blood on the walls. This scared Dark. He only hoped that Daisuke hadn't been in one of those rooms. He was about to give up when he spotted a dimly lit hallway that only had four rooms, two on each side. He walked over to the first one on the right and opened it to see a another supply room. Dark was starting to get frustrated. He walked over to the room directly parallel from him and found it locked. He was getting tired of picking locks and kicked the door in, it's hinges gave in and it fell, landing inside the room. Dark saw a young girl with blond hair cowering in a corner by her bed. She'd been crying and her body shook with fear. Dark tried to approach her, but when he did se ran past him and down the hallway. 'She could of at least said thank you.' Dark thought as he walked to the last door on the left. Unlocked. It looked like a chemical lab. He growled not finding Daisuke. Looking around he saw that there was only one door left. He'd have to go to another floor if he didn't find him.
Lab
Daisuke sat up, he'd been released from his binds. His uniform was drenched in blood and his white and red uniform top was unbuttoned, but the black shirt under it was torn open. Daisuke looked around seeing nothing, but blurs. He held his head feeling dizzy. After a moment his vision started to focus and the dizziness disappeared.
"About time you woke up." A voice huffed from behind him.
Daisuke stiffened at the voice and turned around to see Krad leaning against a white wall watching Daisuke with golden eyes.
"Krad..." Daisuke said right before the door opened. From the door you couldn't see Krad and Dark didn't notice as he walked in staring at Daisuke.
"Daisuke." Dark said slowly. Daisuke looked away from Krad and looked at Dark with wide-eyes.
"Dark!" Daisuke screamed, forgetting about Krad and jumped off the table, his legs were shaking and weak, but Daisuke fought against it and walked towards Dark. Dark ran towards Daisuke, but stopped when he saw Krad leaning against a wall, his arms crossed and his eyes closed.
"Daisuke. Go outside." Dark said with a serious voice. Daisuke just nodded and walked for the door barely making it. Daisuke gripped the door knob and turned it, the door swinging with his weight and Daisuke's hands slipped from the door and he fell. Dark immediately looked away from Krad upon hearing Daisuke's thud and scooped Daisuke in his arms running down the hall and passed the turn to the stairs looking for a window. He turned left and found a glass window present, just to the right. Wiz popped out from behind Dark and kyuu-ed happily seeing Daisuke. Daisuke smiled to Wiz as Dark sat him down, Wiz jumped to Daisuke's chest kyuu-ing in concern at the blood. Dark looked for something heavy and took a vacuum out of a nearby supply closet and threw it into the window. It busted and the vacuum went out the window (I've always wanted to do that to my mom's vacuum, down with choirs XD). Dark concentrated his energy and it came out at his back forming black wings. Daisuke looked at him in shock. He didn't know Dark could do that. He watched as Dark picked his mangled body up and held him close to his chest. Dark jumped out the window, keeping his wings close to his back. Dark gasped when his left arm ran across the jagged glass. Daisuke looked at him his eyes filled with worry as Dark opened his wings and flew for the tavern.
Lab
"Are you sure this will work?" Krad said, his eyes closed and his arms still crossed.
"It will... Just give it time. We go after the girl next," Ys said stepping out of the darkness in the back of the lab.
"Just one more thing," Krad said opening his eyes and turning to the kid. "What did you do to Satoshi?"
Tavern
"Inuyasha, how could you be so heartless!" Machika screamed making everyone in the bar except Kagome and Inuyasha flinched and move away from her.
"Shut up pip squeak. This is between me and Kagome." Inuyasha growled at her, only making her anger rise. She had a tight grip on her scythe now and Kagome was convinced that she was going to use it on him.
Kagome had just about had enough of fighting for one night. She looked at Inuyasha and glared. Inuyasha gulped and jumped off the table he'd been standing on.
"Sit!" Kagome yelled while he was still in midair. He fell chin first into the floor. The bar tender shook his head, this stuff had been happening on a regular basis and he was now used to it, as well were the regulars. If the bar tender hadn't of been such good friends with Doc, they'd probably been kicked out days ago.
Inuyasha groaned as the people in the bar looked away now scared of Kagome's wrath. Machika walked away frowning and Rain just stood there shocked at how scary Kagome and Machika could be.
Kagome's eyebrow was twitching in anger and Inuyasha knew he was going to get it now. Just as Kagome was about to say the s word, Dark burst through the door with his wings gone. Kagome looked at Daisuke and immediately gasped at how much blood had covered his once white shirt.
"Dark... What happened?" Kagome said as she ran over to him, taking Daisuke off his hands. At first he was reluctant, but he gave up knowing that she wouldn't harm him.
"Krad a hold of him." Dark said collapsing in the nearest empty seat.
"Who's Krad?" Inuyasha said glaring at him.
"Basically, he's the light version of me... I'd say good, but his personality isn't anywhere close to it." Dark said not caring or too tired to counter Inuyasha's glaring.
"Okay, so he looks like a light angel, but is evil?" Kagome said sitting Daisuke down in a chair and looking over his arms for any cuts. Daisuke blushed and attempted to button his shirt up. Kagome didn't seem to notice as Rain thought he saw something out of the corner of his eye.
"Basically, and vice versa for me." Dark said sighing.
Rain walked over to Daisuke and Kagome was dumbstruck at how he had no cuts and all that blood on the front of his shirt.
"Hey, you didn't get shot did you?" Rain said as he got to his knees in front of Daisuke so he could see him better. Daisuke only nodded.
"Would you mind showing me where you got shot?" Rain said seriousness overwhelming him almost as much as his curiosity to find out if he was right. Daisuke unbuttoned the few that he'd buttoned to show a large scar and a small cross over it. Rain frowned and let him button it back up.
"Dark... Do you know what they did to him?" Rain said looking over to Dark.
"No clue." Dark said not knowing any better.
"They made him immortal." Rain stated, sadness in his eyes.
"They what!" Dark said standing up suddenly.
"I'm sorry, but they have ruined this kid's life." Rain said with a twinge of anger in his voice.
"T-they made him immortal?" Dark said running over to Daisuke, "How do you know?"
"The cross on his chest. It regulates his cells so he can't turn into a monster. He'll live forever as long as you don't crush his heart or remove his head." Rain said turning back to Daisuke who was looking at Rain with wide eyes.
"I-I'm immortal?" Daisuke asked in disbelieve.
"I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are." Rain said softening his voice.
Daisuke looked at Dark and Dark just sighed. No one really would want to live forever, especially not Daisuke. He'd watch all of his friends die and he'd keep on going. That was something he didn't want to bear.
"Daisuke?" Dark said getting Daisuke's attention and pulling him out of his thoughts.
"Yeah?" Daisuke asked slowly, sadness showing through.
"Are you going to be okay?" Dark asked worry over coming him.
Daisuke smiled to him, hiding all of his doubt, fears, and sadness.
"I'll be okay," Daisuke said in a cheerful voice, but Dark could see right through it. He knew him well and Daisuke would put everyone else's feelings before his own.
Rain noticed how alike they were. 'No wonder Yuca made him immortal.' Rain thought as Kagome turned her gaze to Dark and looked at his arm wide-eyed. Kagome was immediately tending to his cut. Dark, didn't even feel it now. It may of been a deep cut, but it looked worse than it really was.
Daisuke watched Rain sigh and walk to a flight of stairs and go up them. It baffled Daisuke and he looked around seeing that no one noticed. He got out of the chair and smiled when he saw that Kagome wouldn't let Dark move until she was done. He walked around the tavern and spotted Inuyasha. Inuyasha just huffed and went back to staring at Kagome. Daisuke was amazed that he had ears. He'd seen alot of stuff in his day, but never dog ears. Inuyasha noticed that Daisuke was staring at him and glared at him.
"What are you looking at?" Inuyasha growled. Daisuke smirked and sat down in a chair just behind him.
"You." Daisuke simply said watching Inuyasha's rage go up by ten points.
"Damn brat...! You looking for a fight?" Inuyasha said standing up.
"Not with you." Daisuke said as Inuyasha walked two steps closer, his hand on his sword. Dark looked over and blinked, 'Daisuke sure has changed... And is he trying to start a fight?' Kagome looked over and yelled 'sit', silencing Inuyasha and putting him to the ground. Daisuke laughed and walked off. 'He's acting too much like me... He's even starting to look like me!' Dark thought, his eyes never leaving Daisuke.
Brief Interruption
BURP.
"Dark! That's not what the interruptions are for!" Tyantha says glaring at Dark, "Now press the 'resume story' button so they can go back to the story."
"No, I have an announcement, I just had to burp around the same time." Dark said taking a sip of an energy drink named Vamp.
"Well what's the announcement?" Tyantha said crossing her arms.
"I forgot." Dark said chugging the Vamp down and grabbing another one.
Tyantha looks at him wide-eyed as he chugs down yet another one.
"Um... Dark maybe you should stop drinking the um... Energy drinks."
"Why?" Dark asked looking drunk.
"Because you'll either die of a sugar overdose or you'll be more hyper than my brother." Tyantha stated wondering why he looked drunk.
"I doubt that." Dark said and turned around looking at all the buttons on the 'master control panel'.
"Dark don't press any--"
BOOM.
"Dark... Which button did you press?" Tyantha said walking over and yanking Dark away from the buttons.
"The 'K' button." Dark said as Tyantha handed him a lollipop and he took it like a little kid.
"He had to blow up Krad-san's house." Tyantha said looking at Dark who was sitting in the floor, licking his lollipop.
"Now back to the story." Tyantha said as she walked over to the panel and hit a red button.
End Interruption
Krad walked to the top floor; He'd been given the living quarters on that floor. Satoshi lived there too, but it was only because of Krad's request. He laid down on a king size velvet and silk bed. Krad hadn't seen Satoshi all day and he was sure that Yuca had him somewhere. He hadn't even found Satoshi till the day after he'd arrived in the future. He'd of been in a lot of trouble if Krad hadn't of showed up.
Flashie
Satoshi felt a sharp pain go through his body. It was all white, he couldn't tell where he was or what was even around him. The light and whiteness that surrounded him, slowly faded and a huge room surrounded him. Sunlight was coming through an open window and the place looked like a war had taken place within' the room. He pushed himself up and stood up a bit shaky. He thought he seen someone pass by him out of the corner of his eye. He turned to the left to see a group of men walking towards him. Satoshi kept his emotionless look, seeing almost twenty men total. One guy with sun glasses on walked up to him while the others stopped and stood their ground. By the looks on their faces, they wanted to take him out, which made Satoshi very uncomfortable.
"Do you know where Dark Mousey went?" The leader spoke in a calm voice, Satoshi's face reflecting off his glasses.
"No I don't." Satoshi said coldly, annoyance just at the tips of his words.
"Fine, but if you did and your lying... We'll just have to see what these guys behind me have been dying to do." The guy said with a smirk rising to his lips.
"I'm not lying." Satoshi said and turned to walk away.
The leader quickly grabbed his wrist stopping him. "No one walks away from us!" The guy said half growling.
Satoshi yanked his wrist out of his grip and turned walking towards a huge hole in the wall, that he was sure was the exit. the guy just smirked.
"He's all yours." The leader said and his men walked around him, going for Satoshi.
Satoshi turned his head and saw them coming at him. He blinked and ran through the hole an into the city, getting himself lost in the crowd. Most of the men were still looking for him. One guy with long brown hair, a red t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans roughly shoved him into an alley. Satoshi struggled to keep his balance as the guy keep advancing on him. Satoshi turned to run away, but saw that the alley came to a dead end. The guy only smirked more and grabbed Satoshi's shoulder. Satoshi kicked the guy in the stomach and ran for the exit. The guy on his knees and holding his stomach. Two other men walked in making Satoshi stop in his tracks. One looked like he was all muscles and a green mohawk. The other was of medium build and wore ragged clothes. He had short black hair, a white button-up t-shirt, tan pants and a tan coat that stopped at his knees. They both smirked and the black haired guy pulled out a gun. Satoshi took a step back, but stopped finding it useless. The mohawk dude punched Satoshi square in the face, knocking him in to the wall, which was quite a ways from where he once stood. Satoshi found it hard to get breathe and his vision blurred. He could make out a person in white stepping in front of him. With that he'd passed out.
Krad had however stepped in front of Satoshi just in time to see him pass out. He frowned to Satoshi and turned to his new foes. He ran for the black-haired person. The guy shot at him, but missed because of Krad's in-human speed. He socked the black-haired guy and plucked a feather out of his left wing and threw the feather. Krad ran back over to Satoshi and picked him up. He smirked and the feather hit the guy in the forehead. The muscle person didn't have time to go after Krad. He took flight and the feather exploded leveling the two buildings on each side of the alley. (I wonder how Dark could of slept through that?)
End Flashie
Krad let out a sigh and closed his eyes. If he couldn't get Yuca to give Satoshi back soon, he'd bet the location of Satoshi out of him.
I think that's long enough... At least I think so.
Dark: I don't think it's enough. (Now over his sugar rush.)
Krad: (Walks up.) Tyan when did you dye your hair brown?
This is my natural hair color...! And Tyan isn't here. I am. (Tyantha Pouts.)
Krad: Who are you?
I'm the writer! The name's Tyantha... Tyan is my assistant/clone. So at least when I have to go to my dad's or other problems that don't allow me to host my stories. I have her stand in. (Smiles.)
Krad: Okay then... Why don't you bring Tyan back?
I don't wanna! (Pouts.)
Krad: You act like a kid! (Watches her steal Dark's lollipop and lick it only to get it stole back by Dark.)
Your point? (Tyantha asked confused.)
Krad: There's something wrong with you! (Shakes his head.)
(Tyantha shrugged and jumped on Dark's back and hugged his neck.) My Dark!
Dark: When did I become yours? (Holds Tyantha up so she wouldn't choke him.)
I don't know. (Spots an energy drink. Jumps off of Dark, runs to it, and chugs it down.)
Dark: No! (jerked the energy drink away to find only a drop left.) You evil bitch!
Run away! (Tyantha runs for the exit with Dark on her tail.)
Krad: They need help.
