Dark's sadness
I always new that she didn't like me, it was in her eyes. I see now why she hates me. I changed her life, in away I never knew existed. She has a right to hate me, I always put her and Daisuke in more harm. Dark thought as he flew through the dark sky. His thoughts were mostly on Daisuke and how to save him. Thee other thoughts on Riku and how she hated him.
The clouds above moved swiftly, covering the bright stars. Lights below him began to fade out as the hour hit ten. He waited till all but two lights were out, one at the Hirata's place and the other in the woods. Dark thought it was odd that anyone was up at this hour, but in the woods, that was suspicious. He flew lower to the ground to find it was a small fire.
He looked closely at the people and found it to be Krad and Akira. He got closer and hide in the brush of trees. He watched and listened to the for a while.
"Master Krad, what are we going to do with the redheaded thief? What purpose does he have in that crystal ball?" Akira asked looking at Krad who was staring in the fire, the crystal ball was sitting beside him.
"Daisuke isn't like the other humans Dark has controlled. He has most of the same powers as Dark himself." Krad spoke softly not looking at her as he spoke, "With Daisuke's inheritated powers I can seal Dark back in the statue that we were born from." He smiled at his comment and then looked at the shocked angel beside him.
"If you seal up Dark, don't you seal yourself as well?" Akira asked looking at the demon/angel beside her.
"Yes, and I am willing to sealed away if it is the only way to seal Dark away." He smiled happily looking over at the crystal that had Daisuke hitting at it.
"I understand, but what about us, are you willing to leave me in this world with out the one I love." She looked at him sadly then away when he didn't reply.
Dark sighed and then jumped down into the opening. "Krad, if you want to seal me you can. I don't want to be in this world anymore than you do." He growled, "But you have to let Daisuke out of the crystal ball. I will use my own powers to seal us away."
Krad looked up at him with his golden eyes very confused. They stared at one another for along moment of time before Krad stood up with a smile.
"Why should I do that, Dark? If you seal us up, what is the fun of you just giving up?" Krad lifted the crystal up and Daisuke glared at him. Then looked back at Dark with some confusion.
"I don't know how it is going to be fun at all, yes I love to run and you seem to like to trick and trap me, but this time I am tired of running, I am sick of running." He looked down sadly. "I just don't want to hurt Riku anymore than I have. Just let Daisuke go and you can do what ever you want, to me, please." Dark looked down not wanting to see Krad's face.
"Dark, why do you give in, have I really got you down that far where you will do anything to just die for your friends." Krad asked with a sort of laughter in his voice. "I never thought I would see the day when the great Phantom Thief Dark asked for pity and wished to be sealed away. Do you now know what it feels like to be an outcast from the ones you love deeply? Do you?" Krad asked looking at the saddened thief.
Dark looked up at him with pain in his eyes. He knew well that he shouldn't give up but another part of him said that this had to be the end. That giving up was the only way to go. He had no other choice. The only people who loved and cared for him was Daisuke and Risa, maybe Emiko but he was unsure about her. "Yes, Krad, you have one and I have finally failed." The words just rolled off his lips as if someone had taken over his body and paralyzed him.
Daisuke and Akira looked down from the brothers with confused looks. They both didn't believe that Dark would ever give up to Krad, but there he was, looking down away from Krad and telling him that he is giving up, that he had lost. That there was nothing in the world that anyone that could do anything to change the black haired thief.
Krad laughed slightly at the thief who wasn't looking at him anymore. "Dark, do you really think I would let you give up to me. It is no fun to see the one you were so wanting capture just give his life over to you. I don't see the fun in it at all. Please explain why you want to leave the world, so."
"That I would rather not speak of, Krad, so don't make me. Just let Daisuke go and then we can finish this." Dark said in a tone he normally didn't use at all. He was confused and didn't want Krad to hurt Daisuke any.
"Fine, have it your way, don't talk to me." Krad said rather hurt that Dark wouldn't speak to him but didn't show it. "I'll let your friend go, but you can't run off." Dark nodded and looked at the crystal that was glowing a white color. After a few moments Daisuke was out of the crystal and looked at himself then at Dark.
"Why?" Daisuke said suddenly looking at the thief that wouldn't look back at him. "Why do you want to leave Risa and I? Do we not matter anymore to you, Dark, look at me." Daisuke said to the thief who slowly looked up at the redhead.
"I know about you and Riku, and I know that Riku doesn't like me. She said that once you return I should parish and that is what I am going to do. I think it is for the best, Daisuke, that I leave the world and leave you to live a normal life." Dark forced himself to smile then walked over to Krad. "I am sorry." Daisuke watched the three angels leave before he too left to talk to Riku. He knew that he had to get there quicker than normal if he wanted to save Dark.
As he ran through the forest, Dark and Krad got closer and closer to Old Dobie Church. The wind picked up and the sun began to show. Daisuke couldn't think of anything other than if he was going to be too late to save Dark.
Dark gave up, wow that was a little different now wasn't it... not something you would expect form the Theif Lord now would you. But you better believe it for Dark has given up and now Daisuke has to save his friend from being imprisoned in a statue...R&Rs please.
