"..." With and I are having a staring contest and our eyes are both twitching with red-eyes.
"Oh for goodness sakes."
"M-chan, start with your fanfic."
"What? Oh right. I don't own DNAngel...DAMN IT! I LOST!"
"KYUUU!"
VI.
Beep, Beep, Beep, Be-
Satoshi stood up from his bed, slamming the alarm lightly with a dazed look. How did he get to his bed? Satoshi felt terrible, much like a hang-over or something, but he shouldn't be feeling this way right now, he had just slept the entire night...so he should be feeling the happy feelings of his dormant personality! Satoshi's eyes wandered down and his whole body froze a bit.
"Niwa?" Satoshi muttered, looking down at the redhead, whose hair brushed against his hand as Daisuke moved against Satoshi's palm. Satoshi stared at the boy with soft eyes then frowned, glaring up at the door. Satoshi considered many, many things. His main idea that being of locking his door and lying back down with Daisuke, but with Daisuke's arms tightly wrapped around his waist, this wasn't an option. Waking the younger was also not an option by the judgement of Daisuke's truly peaceful face...so there was only one thing Satoshi could do that he had come up from the situation. Satoshi lay back down with Daisuke, staring at the younger with a soft look.
"Uhn..." Daisuke strained a bit, a frown spreading across his face suddenly. Satoshi felt compelled to calm the restless one as Daisuke let his grip go from holding Satoshi and clenched up into a little ball.
"Daisuke?" Satoshi let himself call to the younger, frowning darkly as Daisuke whimpered from his little ball. Satoshi placed his hand around the precious redhead and froze as a vision of what could only be comprehended as a nightmare flew to his sight.
"STOP IT!" The cries came out, no one paid attention to the delaying pleas. "Please! Leave him alone!" Protest came, crying very loudly, so loudly that the echoing across the darkened chamber modified the horror. "Please! He didn't do anything! It was our mothers! Please leave him alone!" Tears swept up in darkened eyes, pleading for a stop, one hand cast out to try and save the one whom was screaming. "PLEASE!"
Satoshi could only stare wide-eyed as he felt a shudder all over his body, destroying what hesitance he had before,
"Daisuke, wake up!" Satoshi demanded, grabbing the younger and forcibly shaking his shoulders until he opened his eyes. Satoshi almost sighed with relief but Daisuke's eyes filled with such tears that this would not be a time of resting
"Hiwatari-kun..." Daisuke's iris trembled, filling with tears that begged to creep down on his pale cheeks. "What is it?" His eyes spoke that he wanted to cry so bad and Daisuke wanted the protection and security he always was filled with when he was with Dark, he needed Dark now more then ever. Satoshi's eyes were filled with the cold sadness that Daisuke was accustomed too but Daisuke didn't want that, he didn't need it like he needed Dark right now. Satoshi let one of his hands wonder to Daisuke's cheek and softly whispering,
"Shh...Shh..." Daisuke sobbed quietly, letting Satoshi know that he felt so helpless and useless...to a nightmare, no less! Satoshi accepted the clingy arms as they wrapped around his waist, and a light sob erupted from the redhead's mouth, also letting Satoshi know he was afraid. Satoshi wasn't quite sure how he reacted the way he did and he was even more surprised when tears starting falling from his eyes without his full comprehension.
The two stayed that way for a long time, crying against each other for a balance in the world.
Krad had awakened that morning in a foul mood. Krad was not a morning person so that just made his foul mood that much more worse. Krad had awaken from a nightmare, Krad did not like nightmares at all, especially those of the past. Krad growled to himself as he glared at the slowly boiling darkened water known as coffee. Krad willed it to go faster but it decided to deem itself as also in a fowl mood. The mood turned for a worse turn as loud banging noises surrounded the mansion, someone demanded to be let in, and fast. Krad crawled to the front door, and there was only one heartbeat as he stared into the eyes of a very frustrated Dark Niwa.
"Hiwatari."
"Niwa."
The two simply nodded to each other, acknowledging each other angrily.
"Where's Daisuke?"
"I would assume in the guest rooms." Krad spat back, his temper rising up as Dark glared back. The two had quite a glaring match as they trudged foreword to guestrooms. Daisuke was not there like Krad had guessed so there was only one other place, which terrified both men (Though for different reasons of course). Satoshi's room! They both raced for the blunette's room only to be thrown off by the lock.
If you were a witness for this, the following there after would be a comical action and you would probably laugh as they both kept pulling at the doorknob, trying to make it give in to their sheer strength. The funny part was their faces though, all smashed together because of the lack of space and terrified for their younger 'brothers'. Krad took this small short time to take the time to recall things about Dark that he could remember.
"Heh, awfully protective of your brother, aren't you?"
"The same goes to you." They both growled to each other, smashing their forewords together, yelling loudly as they had found that their heads were as equally thick to receive the same amount of damage.
"BASTARD!"
"Quit getting in my way!" They both yelled at each other, growling for entrance. They continued arguing and the door creaked open without their notice and the two ten-year-olds walked out from the room, passing the two holding hands while rubbing their eyes tiredly and crawling down the stairs for a breakfast that Daisuke insisted for. The two stopped arguing for a second, seeing the door wide open and no occupants. It only took the two a few moments to relax before giving into their urges and chasing after the boys.
"Neh, Hiwatari-kun, your brother looked anxious to greet you a good morning." Daisuke gave Satoshi a grin though Satoshi could still see his eyes were straining not to shut tight because of the moisture that came from his eyes, or at least that's how Satoshi felt. Satoshi nodded and hid his head away, closing his eyes tightly to try and get rid of the pain without rubbing at it.
"Yes, well he's always like that." Daisuke laughed but it didn't make Satoshi feel embarrassed at any bit as they walked into the dining room, sitting down next to each other, and Satoshi realized that Daisuke was probably waiting for a maid to serve food or something like that.
"Daisuke!"
"Satoshi-sama!" Both children were surprised (Well not very much to Satoshi but it still shocked him) as two adults came glomping on them tightly, giving their counterparts a grin and a predatory glare over to each other.
"Dark-niichan?" Satoshi just glared at his older brother as Daisuke looked up at Dark with a bedazzled stare, "Good morning..." Dark gave Daisuke a charming grin and Satoshi could feel a weird predatory feeling spreading all over him again (which he dismissed quickly, how ridiculous!). The four remained in an almost stunned silence as they stared at each other, with mostly hostile looks (except for Daisuke, he dismissed the looks for quietly examination).
At least until a large grumble erupted, drowning their hostile looks to sarcastic surprised looks all directed towards Daisuke. Daisuke just laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head with a dark blush.
"Hungry?" All three didn't miss a beat, actually smirking together, which made Daisuke pout from the sudden mood changer.
"Yes." Daisuke then admitted, though glad that the three reached a common goal, to mock Daisuke for his cute disposition.
"Shall we satisfy that hunger?" Dark faced Krad, his arms slowly unwrapping from Daisuke. Krad seemed to think about this subject and stared at Satoshi, who also looked a little starved as Daisuke,
"I suppose." Satoshi was a little surprised (especially from rants from Krad on how much he hated Dark) as the two went to the kitchen, accompanied by a loud range of cursing as bangs of pans followed. Satoshi sighed, holding his head with one hand as Daisuke just laughed, and peering into the kitchen as the two adults attempted to cook eggs.
"We should help our brothers, shouldn't we?" Daisuke asked, giving Satoshi a mocking smile that Satoshi happened to return,
"It seems so, they're helpless without us..." Daisuke nodded, rolling his eyes slightly with an amused grin. Satoshi stared as Daisuke ran off into the kitchen, which was accompanied with a loud yell of appreciation and couldn't help but feel a smile crawling on his lips.
"Strange..."
Towa rushed outside the house, it was late at night now, the darkness was blowing coldness all over her so she had to wear a protective trench coat. Towa wasn't worried about where her masters were, she knew very well. Towa sighed to herself, closing her eyes once with a dark frown,
"I wish I wasn't what I am." Towa muttered uselessly as the odd wind blew up, revealing coldness unlike the summer shouldn't have shown. Towa frowned as she continued her journey, freezing once as she could feel the effect of the system on her back, "No, no. Not now, please not now!" Towa cursed, trying to reach the item but it refused and Towa ended up transforming into her bird form.
"Hehe, what's this then?" Towa chirped angrily as a man picked her up, a somewhat sadistic smile upon his lips, "How is Miss Towa doing?" The bird known as Towa looked down, her light pink feathers perking down with her, "Ah..." Towa stared up into the man's eyes and saw that there was no immediately hostility, "So the Niwas and Hikaris have got themselves into trouble again, neh?"
"Chirp."
"They're always so predictable..." The man then looked down at Towa with soft-eyes, "So that's why you've come to me again, isn't it?" Towa nodded, frowning with soft narrowed eyes. "Alright then, I'll help out, I can sense a war that is beyond humanity's control on the horizon..." Towa stared wide-eyed at the man, flinching as she saw a grin on the man's face, "So then, let's go for the end this time."
The end...
Satoshi stared down at three bodies...not bloody or anything (though that was what he was expecting throughout the whole day). They were spawled all across each other, sleeping against each other with very tired looks. Satoshi amused himself by staring at their position. Daisuke was laying on Krad's chest, his body using the older as a giant pillow while Krad was lying his head in Dark's lap as Dark had his head thrown over the couch, one hand on Krad's forehead. Today had been...interesting.
What amazed Satoshi the most about the day though was that most of them were laughing, as though they had been friends for a long time.
"Friends..." Satoshi stared, seeing Krad move a bit to get more comfortable and Daisuke moaned, turning over to get as comfortable on Krad. Another odd thing, Krad was smiling in his sleep...Satoshi had never seen Krad smile in his sleep but there was a strange twinge in his heart (which he dismissed immediately). Satoshi turned but was stopped by a voice,
"Where are you going?" Satoshi turned back to give Dark, a little shocked to see the kaitou still awake, but shrugged it off.
"Research, we've wasted most of today, I'd rather find more about the parasites haunting Niwa-kun." Dark stared at Satoshi for a second then stared down at the two surrounding him.
They were both so strange. Dark had lived with Daisuke all the young one's life and the child was so bright, innocent and just so many adjectives that Dark could never sum up to amount to the description of his little brother. Dark felt complete with his little brother, it felt really strange that much was for certain.
And with Krad...well he was different. Dark didn't know exactly what was so different about the older man, but there was the way he would argue with him (and now that Dark thought about it, the arguments were pretty petty). Krad also filled something of Dark's void that he didn't even know he had, there was just something that Dark couldn't place precisely about the blonde.
It was as if destiny made all four of them to meet each other...Dark was curious to see how Satoshi fit the puzzle.
"Hm, well you've already wasted the day, why don't you just lie down with us? Get some rest?" Satoshi gave Dark a somewhat cold glare,
"No thanks." Dark sighed as the blunette moved off and silently agreed, Dark should have been doing more important things right now...
Dark furrowed his gaze to look over at Daisuke, who snuggled against Krad (which made Dark glare evilly at the blonde, blaming him for everything wrong in the world for that one moment), and sighed once again. But he had to protect Daisuke, didn't he? He couldn't trust these Hiwataris...he didn't know one thing about them...not one thing about them at all...
"Dark...forgive me...please! PLEASE!"
Dark furrowed his gaze once again, not finding it well in his heart to even try to move from his spot of where the two had gotten quite comfortable. Dark continued to stare at the two, pondering slightly but only drawing out blank memories.
Satoshi couldn't help but groan as he saw daybreak from the mild beep from the computer to show it was six...crap, they had school today. Satoshi groaned again, pushing his hair up in a frustrated matter, not knowing anything else that could calm his nerves. This was ridiculous! There was absolutely nothing! NOTHING! Satoshi stared at the meaningless links and text boxes all across the computer monitor and shut down the computer, crawling down to see that the three were still sleeping...only in odder positions. Krad's arms were wrapped around Daisuke while fully lying on Dark's own body (whose upper body was leaning against the couch uncomfortably) and they were all intertwined with a very messy blanket. Satoshi only rose one eyebrow as he poked Krad only once.
"Shove off." Krad growled, tightening up his hold on Daisuke, which the other just squirmed unpleasantly.
"Krad..." Krad awoke immediately from the voice, staring up at a very tired looking blunette then he stared down at the bundle in his arms...and resisted the urge to get up and scream about Niwa germs like a five-year-old who got the cooties (Only because he knew he would get such a beating on the back from Satoshi). Krad could have done what any normal human being would do and just poke Daisuke awake, but Krad was a scientist and Satoshi twitched as he saw Krad fish a hand up Daisuke's backside. "Krad!" Satoshi hissed as a light gasp came from Daisuke and the redhead stood up straight, staring at Satoshi with confused eyes.
"Ohayou Hiwatari-kun." Krad noted within his mind that applying a different amount of pressure got the same result as Satoshi (whenever Krad would do such).
"Ohayou Niwa-kun..." Satoshi found himself oddly relieved and there was groan from the side and a slight crack of muscles to signal Dark had woken up,
"Ow...geez..." Dark complained, tilting his neck a bit to try and encourage another unpleasant crack, "Ah...Krad, would you get off?" Krad rolled off immediately, growling at himself it seemed as all three got up, stretching.
"Niwa, we've got to get ready for school." Daisuke blinked then squeaked,
"Oh no! School!" Daisuke held his head as though he was in pain, "I didn't work on the summaries for some of the colors! Sensei's going to kill me!" Daisuke ran off to what Satoshi assumed to change in school clothing and then looked over at the adult men. The two were staring closely at Daisuke, obviously studying his strength, his speed. Satoshi then followed after, realizing that Daisuke had no uniforms that could possibly fit him, considering that they hadn't brought any of his clothes with him. Krad and Dark couldn't help but look at each other, predatory looks spreading across their faces once again,
"Hm, good luck on capturing Mousy, Niwa."
"Shut up Hiwatari." Dark growled, giving the blonde a slight punch to the arm (which the blonde took easily with a confident smirk) and traveled out. Krad accompanied him, just in case the purple-haired man decided to do something else then wonder out of the door. Dark paused at the door, sighing, "Take care of Daisuke."
"Of course."
"If I ever find you did something to Daisuke, I swear to God...I will kill you."
"DARK!"
"Of course." Dark left and Krad was left staring coldly after Dark, but growled to himself as he noticed a tear falling from the edge of his eyes, damn memories...how he wish he would just forget...like Dark seemed to have forgotten as well...
"Hmmmm...how interesting." A brunette girl spoke, brushing back her wavy locks to look down at the newest piece of information that was processed to her realm.
"Risa..." Risa looked up to the voice, seeing her sister's soul stuck within a crystal, chains bounding it tightly and seals all around, Riku was leaning toward to mirror glass of the crystal and she stared with very sad eyes. Riku Harada had shorter hair then her younger sister but there was no other physical difference between the two. "Please...stop..." Risa huffed at her sister,
"Sorry Riku, but you need to live again...As do I." Riku frowned, staring at Risa with saddened eyes,
"Riku, we're immortals, don't you think we've lived in bodies long enough?"
"NO!" Risa yelled, glaring at Riku for one second but then turning away to sit down and lean against the crystal, feeling Riku's soul traveling to give a warm feeling for her younger sister. "Riku, if we stop trying to find a way to live...they'll never wait for us." Riku sighed, leaning her forehead against the crystal with a frown,
"I know Risa...I know." Riku started to shake, tears coming from her eyes and Riku was heartbroken to see her sister's shoulders shaking as the younger started to cry. They've been immortals so long...and for their parents...they would never wait for the two..."Risa, what do you plan to do?" Risa sighed and looked at her sister with a determined look,
"I'm going to use Hikari and Niwa." Risa commented, standing up with a new confidence. Riku sighed,
"You shouldn't play with their lives like that..."
"If it will help you get a body right now, I will do anything for you, Riku."
"Risa..."
"Well let's see if I can stir some trouble in the body I have down there right now."
"Risa...wait! You do know that the colors protect Daisuke, right?" Risa looked back at her sister once more and couldn't help but give a smirk,
"The colors? They were always a pathetic bunch...There's no way they can compare to the power of me." Risa gave a grin and then walked off, leaving her sister alone once again. Riku sighed, turning in her crystal inside, giving an aqua effect as the wings behind her spread to control her balance.
"Daisuke..."
"Daisuke!" Satoshi glared as the blonde we know as Keiji Saga wrapped his arms around Daisuke's little body, grinning at the boy with a cheerful smile.
"Good morning Saga-kun." Satoshi twitched, couldn't Daisuke see the evil that Keiji possessed? Oh Keiji must die...soon.
"Ahem." A cough came from Funabashi from Keiji's side, glaring down at the blonde with a mild twitch, now there was a man who could understand Satoshi...for at least a second maybe. In both of their minds they were thinking the same thing, Keiji must be maimed.
"Good morning Funabashi-kun." Daisuke greeted, once again ignoring the looks of hostility between him and Keiji. Daisuke peeked up a bit, seeing their first teacher moving with a sluggish pace, with a loud sneeze.
"Good morning class!" The teacher strained herself, as she yelled at them with a frown, her voice was killing her!
The school day went very smooth, except for a few death glares always targeted at the extremely happy Keiji who kept talking to Daisuke, who listened calmly. At least until part of the morning was interrupted,
"Oh...I forgot about the transfer student!" The teacher groaned, holding her head in pain as a headache spread across her temple,
"You really should have stayed home again." The principal said, a girl at his side as he patted the teacher's back sympathetically.
"I know, but I needed my paycheck today!"
"There, there." All the students were staring ahead at the odd pair and the girl who was just rolling her eyes at them. "Um...Who was taking the transfer student again?" The teacher composed herself for a second then nodded,
"Hiwatari." Satoshi blinked...then blinked again, trying to comprehend what the teacher said. Wait...what?
"Hm?" Was all that he could muster up as a response though, lifting one brow up, not at all recalling this exchange.
"Your father accepted her, I would think he would tell you..." Satoshi groaned inwardly, what terrible luck! It would figure his stupid step-father would do such a thing...if Satoshi had known about this he would have actually got a nice night of sleep...and then he would have to explain to the girl about Daisuke! GOD! How Satoshi hated his stepfather sometimes.
"Might want to introduce yourself first though," The principal kindly said, grinning and taking a step back and watched many boys stare at the girl with dropped mouths...except our four heroes of course.
Long brunette hair that was pinned down in a beautiful style with ribbons, long lashes with beautiful amber eyes and she was wearing a different tint of the school uniform...she looked stunning for a ten-year-old. The girl bowed politely,
"My name is Risa Harada, I'm transferring here from Kyoto and I hope I can fit in." Satoshi stared quickly at Daisuke and he saw the redhead frozen. No, Harada was a common name, Daisuke don't freeze!
"Ah that's very good, you should go take a seat next to Hiwatari, right over there." The teacher pointed the blunette out and Risa walked over there (with a grace that of a princess) and sat next to Satoshi. Everyone's gaze was on the transfer student and Satoshi could feel unbearable sears of pain down his back, his wings demanding him to take flight, even though they were still within his flesh. Something wanted Satoshi to flee from this girl...but...why?
"Niwa-kun, do you live around here?" Risa asked innocently as Daisuke walked on Satoshi's side, trying to match the older's stride. Daisuke flinched a bit from the question, not at all sure how to answer it...afraid to even talk to the girl at all as memories seemed to bubble up upon his surface, reminding him of that incident he faced in his nightmares every night.
"Niwa is staying with us." Satoshi spoke, giving Risa one simple stare then turning back around to continue. The three walked in stunned silence, it was kind of amazing. Daisuke kept staring at her and though she looked a little different from the years before, there was no mistake.
This was Riku's twin sister.
And that scared Daisuke more then anything on the present earth. Why wasn't Risa screaming at him? Why wasn't she trying to hit him? Why wasn't she doing anything? Did she just not remember him? But that shouldn't be possible...Daisuke was the last one with Riku before she...
Blood glided down, her eyes wide with surprise and a loud cry of pain ran through the halls, crying as the searing jabs in his back tightened and at the loss of his best friend.
If Risa had been the last one to see Dark and just disappear somewhere, Daisuke would have done something to her right now...why wasn't she doing anything?
"So you've come from Kyoto Harada-san?" Daisuke started a conversation, afraid of the quiet air around the three. Satoshi listened, his wings creaking within him, yelling louder and louder within his mind.
"Yes I have, have you lived here all your live Niwa-kun?" Daisuke shook his head,
"No...I came from Kyoto once too, it's a pretty big city, isn't it?" Risa nodded then sighed,
"Oh, I do hope they have a few malls around here."
"Only one." Satoshi replied, staring ahead and wishing he were closer to home. Risa seemed appalled from this news and sighed,
"How terrible!" Daisuke couldn't help but laugh at her tone, "It's not funny Niwa!" Risa pouted, folding her arms as she did such.
"Gomen." Daisuke replied, relaxing a bit and saw Satoshi quicken his pace as they reached the household.
"Wow, so this is where I'm staying, is it?" Satoshi nodded as did Daisuke and the brunette rushed inside, surprising both boys. Satoshi immediately followed after her, leaving Daisuke alone in the garden, which he decided to travel around. He could hear whispers all around the flowers, the small trees, it was a beautiful day out today.
"Child." Daisuke listened to the voice, not finding any strength to deny the comfortable teasing within the tone of the voice.
"Hai?"
"Walk around a little...find a flower for us please." Daisuke wandered around the garden, staring with a light grin, and couldn't help but continue smile. Daisuke's last name did mean yard after all, it was amazing that the Hiwataris had a backyard and frontyard full of such wonders. Daisuke paused as he found a weed, which was odd, especially when there was a good caretaker. Daisuke stared at the weed and froze as he saw it spread all around, his whole scenery changed into a grassy field with a dark blood-red sky, the weeds continuing to grow all around him. Daisuke stared as the grassy plain was cut...with war.
"No." He muttered uselessly as the engaging war cries went on, the scene kept changing until there stood only two warriors, and both had proud tears in their eyes. "NO!" Daisuke cried out for them to stop, but blood splattered everywhere to ignore Daisuke's protest. "No..." Daisuke sobbed, holding his head in pain as the battle scene was erased.
"We're sorry" Daisuke heard the voices say, begging and pleading for forgiveness. Daisuke stared at the weed and took it, and with unfound frustration, he crushed the weed, going back into the house.
"You found a cure?" Dark called out happily, grinning at the silver-haired woman, who smiled back at Dark.
"Yup, I went to the black-market and asked in my own special way of all the sellings that Dark Mousy had made." The three present shuddered at Towa's smirk from her completed sentence.
"And you managed to get it back?" Takeshi asked suspiciously, giving Towa a slight glare (which Menou hit him on the back of the head for, apologizing for her suspicious husband).
"Yup, so we just need to come up with a story and get Daisuke!" Dark stared at Towa for a second,
"Where is it?"
"Hm?"
"The item." Towa smiled and walked off, retrieving the item which Dark recognized immediately.
"This? This is going to cure Daisuke?"
"Well the parasites have one linking don't they? This has to be it." Dark stared down at the picture (yes you read right, a picture) and couldn't help but smile as hope came up.
"Alright then, let's get Daisuke back."
"...I will kill our so called 'father' as soon as he comes home from his newest trip." Krad whispered to Satoshi, who gave no immediate reply back, but seemed to agree with the older. Risa got along well enough with the maids well enough but...damn, she was bossy!
"...Where's Niwa?" Satoshi just noticed, not seeing the redhead immediately within his eyesight. Krad frowned, hoping that the young one didn't decide to wander down the cursed hall of the Hikaris. Satoshi stood up to look for the redhead and Krad just sighed, looking very bored as Risa decided to get into a conversation with the older.
Satoshi had gone to the famous hall, shuddering as the halls cried out of deaths that happened because of all the colors disappearing. Satoshi was half-way relieved when he found Daisuke sitting on the floor, staring up to the last Hikari piece (well asides from himself, but he wasn't going to admit that!).
"Niwa." Satoshi simply said and froze as Daisuke looked up to him, tilting his head towards the slightly older,
"Yes?"
"Are you...alright?" Satoshi spoke, staring down at the redhead with concerned eyes.
"..." Daisuke turned back to the picture and Satoshi felt compelled to sit next to the boy, and did such. They both stared at the painting. "Do you think...we'll look like that when we get older?" Daisuke questioned after a long silence and the two stared at the painting. The two within the painting seemed happy...but seeming so happy was weird. It had to have been forced as a painting, after all, the smiles seemed so fake.
"I hope not." Satoshi admitted, blinking once as Daisuke leaned against him.
"I agree." Daisuke muttered, "This painting...holds a very sad story," Daisuke sadly said, his eyes lowering a bit with sadness.
"What are you doing here?" Satoshi asked, switching the subject from the unpleasant truth about the painting.
"I can't help but think...that this person is me." Daisuke pointed to the very dark-red-head in the painting and Satoshi nodded, knowing the feeling. They were clones after all...they were just original repeating of the original. Krad and Dark...just...clones...
"Hm. That's strange." Satoshi acted, staring coldly at the painting. The fake terrible painting. Daisuke nodded, burrowing part of his face into Satoshi's shoulder,
"I'm starting to feel so tired Hiwatari-kun." Satoshi frowned and one of his hands went up to cuddle against Daisuke's hair, brushing the strands away from the youth's face,
"Don't worry...just don't fall asleep."
"Uh-hun..." Daisuke muttered and froze a bit as he felt his 'wings' start to react as frozen forgotten memories started to spread to his mind's image.
It was all because of their damned mothers...he didn't know! He thought he was setting the monsters on them! Not HIM! Why did they have to attack him? Why...WHY?
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" The voice cried out again, begging for the figures to stop. The shadowed figures just laugh, cackling at the boy and abusing him, but he was used to weak hits as this, "Please!"
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The boy shuddered as the yell took the air, growling with determination to save his friend.
"Move it!" He demanded, pushing through but then screamed as the figures just laughed and pushed him back, locking him to the wall. "Stop it...please...he-"
"Is beautiful."
"Perfect."
"Hehehehe."
"No...LEAVE DARK ALONE!"
Daisuke broke out of his trance, shaking with terror as pain enveloped his entire body. Satoshi froze as Daisuke clenched him, tears building in the younger one as he yelled in pain. The shrieks surrounded the halls, which lead to Krad following them with a close-heated Risa behind.
"Niwa! Niwa!" Satoshi started to shake the younger, flinching as Daisuke kept clenching on Satoshi, crying things that made no sense, was this the work of the parasites?
"What the? Shit!" Krad cursed, ripping Daisuke from Satoshi, hissing as Daisuke's hands wondered to hold Krad, "Satoshi-sama, call one of the doctors immediately, I think he's going into arrest." Satoshi nodded, rushing off to do as Krad requested and Krad ran off into their private lab...this time Risa did not follow. The brunette frowned and glared up at the painting,
"Colors, why do you keep interfering? You know very well that he is my sister's body."
"Never" The colors spelt out in the background of the painting, its tone obviously hateful and spiteful. Risa growled, folding her arms,
"And what do you plan to do? I know you can't survive in him any longer," Risa couldn't help but smirk confidently, knowing the colors knew the same, "What will you do then?"
"We will keep fighting. No one may touch what is rightfully ours" Risa frowned, and turned away from the painting and as she escaped the hall...she decided this would be the best time. Risa frowned over at the hall and focused a beam into her hands, firing it into the hall...beginning a fire. Risa took one deep breath and screamed,
"FIRE!"
Dark stared terrified at the large mansion, smoke building all around it as flames were starting to consume the outside of it.
"No!" Dark shouted in terror, running into the building, only worried about its contents. Dark coughed as the smoke building up was starting to cloud the small air, "HIWATARIS! DAISUKE!" Dark called for them, coughing and closing one eye in pain from the overbearing smoke. Dark gave a gasp as someone bumped into him, a girl with long brunette hair,
"Ow!" The girl shouted as she landed on the ground. Dark frowned and helped her up. The girl stared at him with wide-eyes and a blush consumed her face,
"Hey, you need to get out of here, okay? The exits that way." Dark pointed up the path he had just came from, the brunette just nodded and rushed out. Well that was Dark's good deed of the day, he thought as he wondered deeper into the mansion. Dark coughed once again, staring out into space to try and find the three he was looking for.
"Son-of-a...Satoshi-sama, grab Niwa!" Dark's heart lightened in hope, as he continued to travel forewords to avoid the mass of flames consuming the area, the picture in his left hand.
"Dark?" Dark couldn't help but freeze as he heard the whimpered voice of his younger brother, ah there they were! Daisuke was cuddling against Satoshi, tears formed at his eyes as Satoshi was carrying him. Krad seemed to have disappeared somewhere,
"Daisuke! Hiwatari!" Dark couldn't help but give the two a smile, happy that they were alive. Satoshi just gave a slight glare (that to Dark seemed to be accepting his presence and was happy that it was there). "Where's Krad?"
"Getting the files he had on Daisuke's parasites."
"What? That moron!" Dark frowned then looked at Satoshi, "You can get Daisuke out, right?" Satoshi nodded as Daisuke gave a very weak smile. "Well then, get going, you just go straight ahead, I'll get your brother." Satoshi nodded then stared at Dark's hand,
"What is that?"
"Daisuke's cure." Dark confidently said, moving foreword to find Krad. Satoshi blinked, there was actually a real cure? Satoshi then turned and ran off for the entrance. Krad cursed, fumbling with the important disks and vials of the blood, he needed all of these...so he could help get rid of Satoshi-sama's gene defect, so he could live normally! So Satoshi-sama wouldn't die! "Krad!" Krad's heart tightened as he looked to see Dark, coming to his rescue as it may.
"Ah Niwa, you can help me carry all of this." Krad couldn't help but cough as the smoke started to build up even more, heat was making the area even hotter.
"What? Oh, you don't need those anymore, I've got Daisuke's cure right here!" Dark showed Krad the picture and Krad almost froze to see it was a frame piece of his mother's last piece. Krad then shook his head, growling,
"No, I still need these!"
"Why?" Dark rose one eyebrow but then coughed, this was not the place to be talking! Krad seemed determined to keep the disks and whatever was in the test tubes. Dark growled and took a step towards Krad and yelled as a resonating BOOM took place right behind him. With untimely grace, he rolled on top of Krad...and letting go of his cure.
"NO!" The two screamed, as their treasures were thrown into the fire, creating another explosion within the area. Krad and Dark stared with terror...no...
They lay there, with wide-eyes and no hope for either of them...what was the point now? The only way of getting a true cure...it was gone...burned by a stupid fire...
"Dark..." Daisuke stared at the fire, while leaning against Satoshi. Satoshi stared at the fire as well, silently worrying for Krad. "He's not going to come back out." Daisuke muttered and Satoshi looked down, alarmed.
"What do you mean?" Daisuke held his head, not quite sure by what he meant by it either, but there was this feeling that Dark was giving up on something...
"I mean...they're going to die Hiwatari-kun..." Satoshi growled and looked around, the garden was also starting to cast on fire, the strawberries were probably already burning.
"How do you know that Daisuke?" Daisuke blinked as Satoshi called his name, then looked back at the fire,
"...I can feel it...in my veins...he doesn't want to come out again." Satoshi frowned, the same feeling was also in his veins. Satoshi felt the back of his neck prickle as he took steps towards the mansion, leaving Daisuke leaning against one of the gates, and he stared at the fire with a cold power.
"WINGS!" Satoshi called out and he nearly screamed out in pain as an unbarring pain spread all across his back, tearing the back of his shirt and revealing long wings, three pairs to be more precise. Daisuke stared with wide-eyes, not sure if it was a dream or not and he watched the blood drip to the ground and Satoshi's gaze wondering to the mansion.
"Hiwatari-kun!" Daisuke yelled to him in a worried fashion. Satoshi was quiet and his wings flew up, filling the entire area with white.
Aqua
Daisuke gasped as a weird feeling rushed through his blood, the organisms within every blood cell reacted the call, giving life to the simple word that surfaced. Satoshi's wings glowed and were surrounded by water, and Daisuke stared to see a cold-eyed Satoshi, before fainting from the sheer energy his cells had somehow managed to give to the outer force. Risa stared from far away, her eyes wide with surprise.
"How the...how is he an arch-angel?" Risa demanded, staring down at blunette, whose waterpowers flew to the fire, calming the breathing flames.
Dark, Krad. Get out. Now Risa flinched from the voice that surrounded the area. This was impossible! There was no such thing as Arch Angels! How as her host body an arch angel?
Dark and Krad had no choice but to follow the voice, though both seemed terribly lost. Dark had lost his last chance that was the only link to the parasites...Daisuke was going to die! While Krad was also facing the same dilemma, Satoshi-sama was going to die soon because of the inhumane conditions on his normal body and Krad also knew if the parasites didn't kill Daisuke, it would be the same thing that would kill Satoshi-sama. The two made it out, somehow not being touched by the flames with wide eyes as they stared foreword.
Beautiful.
That was the only word that both of them could think up as they stared at the angel ahead of them. His blue hair brushing with the water that surrounded him and his brilliant wings were blowing with the breeze. Satoshi stared at the two for a few seconds then strained as his eyes turned the normal blue color and he fell, fainting from the power he used. Dark stared down at Satoshi with wide-eyes, then looked at Krad, demanding an explanation,
"Later."
Yes later...there was going to be a later if Dark had anything to do with it.
The entire area was burnt, firemen had came and found bodies and burned chemicals everywhere. It was a savage burnt land that no one could possibly replace the land.
But as the firemen and safety department looked through all the ashes they saw that two things of the entire area survived, as though there was a protective aura around them.
The painting and the strawberry garden.
"WHAT THE F?" A and D curse at me, as I hold my head in pain.
"..."
"That was weird." Daisuke comments, blinking slightly.
"Yesss..." I hiss pleasurably with an evil grin, "The introduction of our villain and fantasy part...yeeessss..." Daisuke and my guardians sweatdrop, staring at me.
"Right...we should...get to the reviews..."
"No kidding..."
Akira
"Hehe, it is pretty hilarious when Satoshi kicks Krad out of his room, though that won't happen any time soon anymore...since I burned down their house." I sweatdrop with a grin, "Hope you liked this chapter and thank you!"
Les Scribbles
I blink, giving you an odd face then laugh, "That would have been an interesting theory, maybe I'll apply it to something else..." I then sigh, thinking a bit, "Actually Krad had the cure the whole time, but he didn't really know it and was playing a mean trick on Dark because it would get him out of the way." I then giggle, "Yes, Dai-chan and Sat-chan's blood is very interesting." I chuckle evilly and my guardians stare at me with a sweatdrop, "Well hope you liked this chapter!"
OmegaScorpio
"Don't feel bad, some of us do have a life after all!"
"GASP!"
"...I didn't mean me."
"Oh." I glare at my guardians,
"Right, anyway. Actually what I have planned for the potion doesn't really come into effect into much later," I give an evil grin and my guardians stare at me awkwardly once again, "Typing Sat-chan like that was fun, it made me grin fluffily...Ahem, that is one of the possible results for when you combine the two together in a battle, but just one of the results. It really depends on what the blood is thinking." I shake my head, "Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter!"
"..."
"What are you staring at."
"An idiot."
"Really? Where?" Dark sweatdrops come around the entire area.
"...R&R..."
