(( Krad's thoughts
( Satoshi's thoughts
Nothing much to say. Just read it and let me know what you think. For some reason, the character I put in keeps looking like a sexed-up Harry Potter. Oh well…these things do happen…just read and review, you know the drill :)
"Daisuke…Daisuke, wake up!" Daisuke stirred and opened his eyes, seeing a fuzzy blue haze. He blinked and tried again, this time a face came into focus.
"Satoshi…what happened?", he asked groggily.
"Dark and Krad miscalculated their attacks and caused and explosion."
"What?..." Daisuke sat up and looked around, shocked by the utter destruction. The room had been completely blown up, the artifacts irreplacibly damaged.
/Dark? What the heck did you do/ There was no answer. Satoshi was having similar difficulties on his end.
(Krad? How dare you try to kill Daisuke? You will pay for this. Krad? Are you listening?) There was no answer there either.
"Umm, Satoshi? I can't feel Dark."
"Really? That's strange, since I can't feel Krad either. I thought that he was just ignoring me, but this is an odd coincidence. I believe that this explosion weakened our other selves to the point where they have retreated to the back of our minds and are unable to act or control us in any way for the time being."
/Wow, that was a mouthful. Wait…does he mean that Dark is gone? Even temporarily, that's just not good. How am I supposed to steal stuff without Dark? Oh no, what about the item Dark was supposed to take tonight/ Daisuke jumped to his feet and began to peer into the adjoining rooms, trying to locate the object. When he didn't immediately see it, he returned to the room with Satoshi looking discouraged.
"I assume you're looking for the 'Ai no Kizuna'? If you'd like, I could take you to it." Daisuke flushed embarassedly.
"Yeah, that would help…" Satoshi walked to the door and motioned for Daisuke to follow him. They walked down the hallway and made a few turns, then stopped at another door. Satoshi turned around to face Daisuke.
"Daisuke, I'm going to let you take this item without a fight because right now Dark is dormant. I know that it needs to be sealed, and my orders were never to capture you."
"Aa, thank you Satoshi, I really appreciate it. I didn't particularly want to fight you…", Daisuke said, looking away. Satoshi lifted a hand to the boy's cheek and then positioned his palm under the boy's chin, forcing him to look him in the eye. He ran his thumb gently over Daisuke's lips and smiled.
"I don't particularly want to fight you either, Daisuke. In fact, that's the farthest thing from my mind." Daisuke colored slightly and began to stammer nervously.
"Th-that's good, but um, that is, don't you think we should go in there now so I can steal the object?" Satoshi leaned in and gently brushed his lips against Daisuke's once, then released the boy.
"You're right. Let's go." Satoshi opened the door and Daisuke filed in after him. It was a beautiful room with a graceful, arched ceiling and pristine, white walls. Right in the center of the room was a pedestal with two bracelets intertwined upon it. The boys approached the pedestal and halted directly in front of it to admire the bracelets. They were silver and, at first glance, looked plain and unadorned. If one was to look closer, however, they would note the subtle designs and patterns worked into the fine metal. The bracelets themselves were shaped like cuffs, and looked decidedly heavy. While the boys were examining the bracelets, the air above the pieces of jewelry began to shimmer. Daisuke noticed it first, and quickly alerted Satoshi.
"Satoshi, look! I think the artwork is starting to manifest." Both boys took a step back, at a loss as to what to do. The shimmer began to take a shape and solidify as the boys watched in horror. When the shimmer disappeared, what remained was a young boy precariously perched upon the pedestal. He was tall and willowy, with black hair and piercing green eyes. The boy looked around the room curiously, and then spotted Satoshi and Daisuke. A smile crept across his lips and he lightly jumped down from the pedestal and walked towards them. Both boys froze, incapable of movement.
/Crap, why can't I move/
(This is most unfortunate. My mobility seems to have been severely limited.)
The boy just smiled wider, as if he could sense their frantic thoughts. He stopped directly in front of the boys and reached out his a hand to caress each boy's cheek. His touch was cool, yet sent sparks of pleasure shooting through both boys' bodies.
"Hello. Do you know who I am?", he asked in a light, teasing voice.
/Uhhh…no…/
(It's painfully obvious that he's the physical manifestation of the artwork. The question is, what does he want?)
The boy directed his gaze at Satoshi.
"Hmmm…the blue one knows who I am. You wish to know what I want? Let me show you.", the boy said in a more husky voice as he stepped into Satoshi's personal space and placed his arms around his neck, leaning in and resting his forehead against Satoshi's.
/No, he's not going to…/ The boy lightly touched his lips against Satoshi's, then began to deepen the kiss with the unresponsive boy. Daisuke watched in horror as the boy dipped his tongue into Satoshi's mouth, having worked the boys lips open.
(I'm starting to feel…tired...and weak…) A pallid hue began to spread across Satoshi's face. Daisuke noticed this and a memory resurfaced.
/Didn't Dark say something about energy draining? Oh my gosh, what's going to happen to Satoshi? Is he going to DIE? No! Get away from him! You're not allowed to touch him! Stop it! Why are you doing this/ Daisuke felt something stir vaguely within himself.
/….uggghhhh…/ Daisuke's thoughts had started to wake up Dark.
Daisuke's frantic thoughts had also captured the attention of the boy. He broke the one-sided kiss with Satoshi and glided over to face Daisuke.
"Ah, so that's how it is. You are possessive of your lover, my beauty. Would you give your life for his? Let's test your love." he said seductively. He waved a hand and Daisuke realized that he could move again. His first instinct was to get away, and he began to scan for an exit.
"Not so fast, pretty one. If you leave, I will claim your lover and you will never see him again. If you stay and give yourself to me willingly, I may just let both of you live." Daisuke stood rooted to the ground, staring at the boy.
/Is he serious?.../
/…wuzzat?.../
(What…he…Daisuke?)
"Oh yes, I'm serious. It's been a while since I've been set free, and it pleases me to have someone offer themself without excessive force needed."
/What does he mean, offer myself?...oh…oh no…he can't mean…oh but…but…I've never…I'd never…/
"Ah, a virgin? This is my lucky day…" The boy leaned into Daisuke's ear and began to whisper.
"Do you know what I'm going to do to you, lovely? I bet you don't. I bet you can't even imagine it in your little innocent mind. But you're still scared, aren't you. You're terrified of me and what I'm capable of.", he crooned dangerously. Daisuke felt his hands forming fists and started to push the boy away.
"Wait just a moment. Do you really want to do that? For you, I would be gentle. As a piece of art, I recognize beauty, and I would not want to mar your perfection. The blue one is descended from the family that bound me to this artwork, so I will not be so kind to him. He will suffer greatly if he is left to me. If you stay, I promise that I will not touch him.", he whispered persuasively. Daisuke looked at Satoshi and then back at the boy. He furrowed his brow, looking troubled.
/Ahhh, what do I do? I don't want him to hurt Satoshi, and he did say that he would be more gentle for me, but I still don't…I mean…how could I…but Satoshi…but I…/
/…Dai…what's happening?.../
(No…don't…)
"Last chance, my beauty. Give yourself to me and save your lover, or leave and abandon him to my torture." That did it for Daisuke.
/Torture? No, I could never let that happen to Satoshi. No one is allowed to touch him but me, and I will not let this boy do whatever he wants. I can and will protect Satoshi from him, by whatever means necessary./ Daisuke thought fiercely.
/Daisuke, what is going on/ Dark tried to force control, but found that he was still too weak.
"I-I accept your offer." Daisuke said, looking the boy firmly in the eye.
/Daisuke, what the HELL are you thinking/ Dark tried to force control, but found that he was still too weak. He watched helpessly through Daisuke's eyes as the scene unfolded.
(…Noooo…) Satoshi yelled in mental anguish, before the world spun and he blacked out for the second time, his energy completely gone.
The boy grabbed Daisuke's arm and pulled their bodies flush against eachother. He leaned forward so that his lips were almost touching Daisuke's ear.
"…You're going to scream my name before the night is out, my pretty…so you had best learn it…", he whispered hotly, then nipped at Daisuke's earlobe. Daisuke shivered at the breath caressing his sensitive earlobe and the words the boy spoke.
"…so then…what is your name?" Daisuke asked haltingly. The boy leaned back for a second to look at Daisuke's face, then smiled beautifully and leaned in again.
"…it's Deimos…and don't you forget it."
End of Chapter 3
Bwahahaha! It's 1:41 am and I'm tired and a little cranky. I had to grind out a whole history essay today, and then I felt bad and decided to update this fiction. So now my brain is tired. That means that you lot get to suffer too, by means of this splendid cliffie. I promise I'll try to update tomorrow, though. Or, rather, today. I'm sorry it took so long to update, but this history assignment had me shying away from the computer. I'll do better, I promise! If you have any questions or suggestions, just send them to me in a review or whatever and I'll answer them. I want more feedback, people! Oh yeah, and I had trouble thinking of a name for our friend there. It didn't sound right to call him 'Ai no Kizuna' the same way that they call the 'Towa no Shirube'. Although I could have shortened it to 'Ai' the way the other one got shortened to 'Towa'. Oh well...I decided to get creative, so I started looking up different names. I ended up picking 'Deimos', since it means 'terror' in greek. I guess it kinda works, but I just mostly think it's a cool name. Lemme know what you think!
