"Is something wrong, Satoshi?" Daisuke noticed he was just staring at him blankly.
"Satoshi...remembers..."
"Remember what?"
"Daisuke, who is Krad?"
Daisuke thought for a moment. Should he really tell him about Dark and Krad now? Or wait for him to gain back more of his memory?
"Um...Krad is...your other half."
"Satoshi's...other half?"
"Yes. It's a little confusing, but...he lives inside of you, just like Dark lives inside of me." Daisuke took out the book of different Hikari artworks and searched for "the black wings". "This is an artwork called the black wings. Your ansestors created this artwork because they weren't satisfied by making beautiful works of art. They wanted to make a living work of art. Thus, they created the black wings. The Niwa family attempted to steal it, which caused it to awaken, which caused Dark and Krad to be born. They were both a curse placed in each clan's bloodline, and now you and I are the ones who have them within us."
"...Krad is...bad?"
"Yes, and he's been inside you as long as you can remember. He can also speak to you inside your head, so if you hear a voice in there, don't get freaked out."
"...Krad?"
"It's about time you speak to me, Satoshi sama."
"Satoshi...sama?"
"Yes. It's your other half, Krad. Or have you forgotten? Oh that's right, you have amneasia because of Dark's magic effect on you. How pitiful."
"...What? Amnesia?..."
"You really don't remember, do you? Afterall, it's because of him that you lost your memories."
"Daisuke? No...Daisuke has been helping Satoshi..."
"He's only helping you because he feels sorry for what he did to you. He doesn't really care about you. Not like I do, Satoshi sama..."
"...That's not true! I remember...I remember that you would always say that to me...and it always made me mad to hear you say that..."
Flashback
Satoshi's POV
"AAAHHHH!" my body ached from the pain of having those wings of pure white bursting from my back...No one ever knew what it felt like...the pain I suffered.
I have always lived in solitude. In this apartment... Where I have to endure and suffer from Krad. I had to lock away my emotions, never to let anything become precious to me. I tried to keep my feelings locked away, but...
"Hiwatari!"
...Then I met Daisuke. He is the only person I have ever cared about. He is the one that made me not only re-awaken Krad...but also my feelings of love...
"I've been looking everywhere for you, Hiwatari."
...and helped me find a bit of warmth within my ice cold heart.
End flashback
"Krad...I remember everything about him...how he would hurt me by transforming..."
"...I know it brings up a lot of painful memories, but he is your other half. Your curse. Just like Dark lives inside me, he lives inside you."
"It hurts when Dark comes out too?"
"Well, no. But..."
Satoshi grew silent. His bangs covered his eyes and he turned around, so that his back was facing Daisuke, and went to sleep.
The next morning...
Daisuke woke up early. He looked to his side and saw that Satoshi still had his back turned to him, and by the sound of light snores, be was still asleep. Daisuke was about to get up, until Satoshi started falling off the edge of the bed. Daisuke quickly grabbed Satoshi around the waist and pulled him back to keep him from falling. Satoshi stirred and turned to face Daisuke, but continued to stay asleep. Daisuke sighed of relief. Then he blushed because he just realized Satoshi was only a milimeter away from his face. Not only that, but he had his arms wrapped around Satoshi's waist. Satoshi moved a little again, which caused his lips to brush gently against Daisuke's. His blush grew deeper as Dark chuckled.
"A little close to creepy boy, aren't you?"
"I-"
"-Want to just kiss him, don't you? You think he looks so cute when he's asleep!" Dark teased.
"N-no..."
"Yes you do! Besides, he's kissed you before! Twice! And you liked it! I heard you thinking it! You're crushing on creepy boy! You're crushing on creepy boy! You're crushing on creepy boy!" Dark said in a sing-song voice.
"I...I..."
Satoshi rested his head in the crook of Daisuke's neck, and cuddled up to him. Then he continued to sleep.
"He's...so warm..." he looked down at Satoshi as he slept in a silent slumber. "...and looks so innocent when he's asleep. You know, for the past few days, it's been kinda fun taking care of Satoshi. It's as if I were watching over a toddler."
"Mmm..." Satoshi mumbled.
Daisuke stroke his hair and whispered to wake him up. "Sato...time to wake up..."
"Mm...hn?" Satoshi slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Daisuke.
"Good morning, Satoshi."
Satoshi yawned. "Good morning...Daisuke..." he still had low blood pressure. He got off of Daisuke's chest and sat up, as he squinted his eyes to try to fight his blurry eye sight from the low blood pressure.
"I'm gonna go make breakfast. Then later, we can go to the park. You could use a break from reading books and trying to remember stuff."
Satoshi nodded and Daisuke went to the kitchen. Moments later he came back with pancakes. They both ate their breakfast together, as they usually had for the past few days.After eating, they both started getting ready to head for the park. Satoshi passed by the night table and saw Daisuke's sketchbook. Curious, he picked it up and started looking at his drawings. As he flipped through the pages, he noticed a particular drawing. It was a drawing of Satoshi cupping water in his hands by the fountain from yesterday. It wasn't completed, because it had the backround half-colored. However he liked the way Daisuke captured all the light tints of blue from him. Satoshi liked the drawing.
Daisuke came into the room and saw Satoshi with the sketchbook and blushed. "Satoshi! W-what are you doing with that?" he stammered.
"Is this a drawing of Satoshi?"
"Um, well, yeah..."
"It's really good. Satoshi likes it."
"Uh, thanks!" Daisuke continued to blush. "We uh, better get going to the park before it gets late. Come on, let's go!"
They both left, and Satoshi brought along his sketchbook, but Daisuke hadn't noticed.
It was a sunny day. There were many people at the park today, mostly little kids. Nearby there was a dog playing frizbee with it's owner. Satoshi observed the furry creature as it leapt in the air and caught the frizbee.
"Daisuke? What is that?" he said pointing to the dog.
"That's called a dog. They make good pets, and most of them like to play. They make good companions too. Kinda like wiz."
"Kyu!" agreed the little rabbit sitting on his shoulder.
Satoshi continued to look around the park as they walked. Then he left Daisuke's side and went over to a tree and sat under it's shade. Daisuke came over and joined him.
"Satoshi wants to stay here for a while."
"Okay, if that's what you want." Daisuke sat down and leaned his back against the tree. Satoshi looked up to see all the leaves and birds within the tree. His memories began to come to him again...
Flashback
Satoshi's POV
I remember again...I used to sit alone under a tree sometimes during luch at school...I would aslo sometimes eat lunch on the school rooftop...
"Today I eat lunch alone like I did yesterday, and it'll be the same tomorrow." I sighed as I looked up at the sky from the school rooftop. Then I hear footsteps, and the door behind me opens.
"Hiwatari? What are you doing up here by yourself?"
"I should be asking you the same thing." I said coldly.
"I was looking for you. Do you always eat lunch alone?"
"...Yes. But why do you care?" I said coldly again.
"Well, uh...I was wondering if maybey I could..." he said nervously.
"Yes?"
"...If I could share my lunch with you."
I paused for a moment, then I answered. "Sure. Why not?"
The redhead smiled. We both ate out lunches together more often from that day on...
End flashbck
Satoshi continued thinking to himself. "Daisuke...he was always a good freind to me...he was...the only friend I ever had..."
"Don't think nonsense! I've been there for you more than he has! He is your enemy!"
"The only enemy I ever remember having...is you, Krad. Daisuke is right about you, so leave me alone."
Krad was not only supprised that Satoshi wans't speaking in the third person anymore, but that he sounded like his old self. Satoshi was stating to remember a lot now. However, there was still a lot of other things he didn't remember. Satoshi looked over at Daisuke and saw that he was asleep. He took out his sketchbook and began to draw Daisuke. It didn't take him long to draw, or realize that he remembered the fact that he was good at drawing. When he finished the drawing, he put it next to Daisuke. He was about to get up, when he felt weight on his shoulder. Daisuke had leaned over against his shoulder. Satoshi stayed, and slowly closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
