Separation chapter 4: Back together again

Kai: (tosses notebook across the room) Stupid chapter 4, it's evil!

Satoshi: (mutters) Kind of like someone else I know (looks at Kai)

Reno: Do we even wanna know Kai?

Kai: (sighs) Well, it's nothing that major just that the chapter sounds cheesy and yaoi filled.

Satoshi: (sweatdrops) I thought you were the almighty "Yaoi fan girl"

Kai: (smiles) Oh yaoi is great on toast or when Kitten-sama is writing about it.

Satoshi: (gags) How about we just start the chapter, before you fill my head with anymore disgusting images. How in the hell do you get Yaoi Toast?

Krad: Master Satoshi, something's are better off not knowing I'm sure.

Satoshi: (shrugs) With Kai, you're probably right for once Krad.

Kai: (smacks Satoshi in the head) Shut your mouth and say my disclaimer (in cute little Bakura voice) Bitch!

Satoshi: You're so creepy. (Rubs head) Lil' Kai doesn't own D.N.Angel, please read and review!

Kai: (grins) But I would like some Yaoi toast covered in low-fat Satoshi and Daisuke!

Satoshi: (dies)

Krad watched intently as Satoshi tossed and turned in his slumber. What could be troubling you, my everything? He pondered to himself before Satoshi let out a loud whimper. "Hush my Satoshi-sama," Krad whispered into the boy's ear, as he ran his fingers through his hair and down his cheek. Satoshi tensed at the demon's touch, as he continued to be engulfed in his nightmare.

Blood, crimson drops seeping everywhere I turned. All I can see is red. No where to run and more blood. A voice hisses in my ear, the tone angry with a sinister intent. I could feel it smothering me, the breath hot on my face. A fountain of blood coming up threatening to drown me as the owner of the voice continues to smirk at the misfortune.

"See Satoshi, this is what happens when you don't do what I say," I try to scream but nothing comes out as a figure approached me, blade in hand. Blood spewed from the wound, searing pain followed. Flinching as hands wrapped around my throat….

"No….please….stop," Satoshi begged in his sleep, as he struggled against Krad's hold. He glanced down at the restless tamer in his lap as he debated on whether or not to wake him.

"You should wake him up, Krad," a sleepy voice stated as a red head appeared in the doorway of the living room.

Krad looked up to see Daisuke standing in the doorway rubbing his eyes. "I don't need your help, pesky Niwa," he growled, "I can take care of Satoshi-sama just fine."

Daisuke took a bold step forward towards Krad and Satoshi. "He's having a nightmare," he remarked feeling Satoshi's forehead. "And it feels like he's still running a fever too."

Krad sighed as he gently shook Satoshi. "Satoshi-sama, wake up," he coaxed, the blue haired boy stirred before his eyes fluttered open. Crystal colored eyes stared up at the golden gaze of his curse.

"Wh-where…am…I?" Satoshi attempted to ask, though half of the question came out in a garbled mess of words. He glanced around the room, confusion clearly written on his face as he tried to make sense of where he was and what was going on before his eyes landed on Daisuke standing close to him. "Niwa-kun?"

Daisuke gave a sigh of relief when he noticed Satoshi's eyes fall on to his form. "Krad and Dark took you to my house," he explained, watching some of the confusion leave his classmate's eyes. "How are you feeling?"

Satoshi shifted under the blankets, trying to find a spot that was comfortable. "I don't think I could feel any worse," he muttered, closing his eyes for a moment to keep the room from spinning.

"I think I have something that might make you feel a little better," Daisuke remarked with his usual cheerful smile on his face, as he left the room only to appear a few minutes later carrying a glass of Apple Juice complete with pink bendy straw and a bottle of painkillers. "This will fix you right up, Hiwatari-kun."

More like dope him up, Dai, Dark remarked, knowing exactly where this was going.

Satoshi opened one eye to see what Daisuke was holding out to him. "What is it?" he asked, trying to sit up, but failing horribly.

Krad shook his head slightly as he moved to help his weak master to sit up. "Better, Satoshi-sama?" he inquired, allowing Satoshi to rest his head on his shoulder. Satoshi nodded his thanks as he waited for the red head to answer his question.

"I rummaged around in the cupboard and found it," Daisuke answered, "It should help you feel better though."

Dai, I really don't think giving Creepy boy that is such a good idea, Dark commented.

"Shut up Dark, I know what I'm doing" Daisuke protested giving the thief a mental glare.

Satoshi gave a half hearted nod, under normal circumstances he would have never accepted something like that from Daisuke, but then again it wasn't normal circumstances for him to get stabbed twice either. "If you think it will help," he muttered as Daisuke helped him take the offered pill and held the Apple Juice for him.

Krad watched Satoshi go limp in his arms. "Satoshi-sama?" he questioned as Satoshi's head rolled off Krad's shoulder like a rag doll.

"Why's Krad here? He's usually in my head…" Satoshi rambled, as he's eyes moved slowly from Krad to Daisuke. "I'm hungry…is there food?"

Krad glared at Daisuke with murderous intent. "You rotten little Niwa!" he yelled, nearly jumping off the couch to strangle Daisuke. "What did you do to my Tamer?"

Daisuke put up his hands in a surrender like fashion. "Krad, I swear I didn't do anything to Hiwatari, it's a side effect of what I gave him," he quickly blurted out in hopes it would save him from a gruesome death at the hands of Satoshi's curse. "Now that I think about it, maybe giving him that whole thing may have been a bit much."

"Daisuke, why are you wearing a banana pudding shirt?" Satoshi continued drifting in and out of consciousness.

Way to go Daisuke, you've successfully made Creepy boy even creepier, Dark noted as he chuckled at Satoshi's rambling, the best thing about it is he won't remember any of this when he wakes up.

"Dark, be nice."

"This is the song that doesn't end…" Satoshi began singing incoherently.

Krad rolled his eyes at the pitiful state his everything was in. "Niwa, let me barrow your sock," he stated holding out his free hand.

"What for?"

"I need something to gag him with," Krad stated looking down at Satoshi again. "His slurring is getting on my nerves."

Daisuke sighed, handing the blonde demon his left sock. "Just try not to hurt him anymore," he replied sitting down on the chair beside the couch. "I don't think I could get mom to help me again even if I got down on my hands and knees and begged." Krad nodded before stuffing the sock in Satoshi's mouth, silencing the slurred singing. Satoshi on the other hand began sucking intently on the sock before passing out once more.

It's going to be a long night, Dark remarked, as his tamer tried to stifle a yawn.

Daisuke awoke to a loud crashing noise downstairs. "Daisuke Niwa, get your butt out of bed!" a female's voice shouted from downstairs.

"Just…five…" Daisuke muttered, pulling the blankets over his head and turned over. "Too…tired…"

Daisuke, get your ass up! Dark called, rolling his eyes.

"Dark, I don't wanna."

What if something's wrong with your precious Creepy boy?

Daisuke yawned rolling his body out of bed and putting on his bunny slippers. "Don't call him that, Dark," he scolded, wondering downstairs.

Satoshi groaned, shifting the muscles in his back as he slowly tired to sit up. Every bone in his body ached, every muscle hurt. Satoshi whimpered before pushing his unruly bangs out of his face so that he could see. The room was blurry and unfocused, the boy blinked a few times to try and clear his vision as memories of the previous night came flooding back into his consciousness. The Dust of Seven Souls, the Separation with the Hikari curse, and the blood dripping off the walls. What the hell had his father been thinking? Satoshi moved to stand, closing his eyes in frustration and pain before widening when a pair of arms wrapped around his waist pulling him back towards the warmth of the blankets.

"Satoshi-sama, it would be best if you didn't immediately try to reopen your wounds," Krad stated, pulling the boy back into his lap.

Satoshi let out a yelp before struggling to break free of the blonde demon's grasp. "Let go of me, Krad!" he spat, glaring in Krad's direction. "I don't need your help!"

Krad smirked. "Stubborn little Hikari, as usual," he remarked, running his fingers through the boy's hair to get him to calm down. "What would your precious Niwa say?" as if on cue, Daisuke tripped into the room grinning like an idiot.

"Good morning, Hiwatari-kun!" Daisuke greeted, after he picked himself off the floor. "Are you feeling better?"

"A little," Satoshi answered leaning back onto Krad and the warmth he provided. "I'm just tired."

"You look like your shivering," Daisuke noted when he saw that Satoshi was shaking like a leaf even though he was covered with blankets, "maybe I should take your temperature."

You'd like that, wouldn't you Daisuke? Dark remarked laughing hysterically, Playing doctor with Creepy boy.

"Shut up, Dark!" Daisuke yelled, a faint blush appearing on his face as he wondering back downstairs. "Open up, Hiwatari-kun!"

Satoshi gave his classmate a strange look. "Niwa, I'm…" the redhead stuck the plastic tube inside his mouth, effectively silencing his protests. Satoshi glared at Daisuke while he waited impatiently for the thing to beep.

"Well, at least your temperature went down."

"Good to know, Niwa," Satoshi growled, pulling the blankets over his head.

"It would appear that Satoshi-sama woke up in a bad mood this morning," Krad remarked, eyeing the bundle of blankets in his lap.

"You would to, if you were the one with the stab wounds," the blankets spoke.

"Maybe you'd be a little less crabby if you had some breakfast," Daisuke suggested, pulling the blankets off Satoshi's head making his hair stand on end.

"Whatever," Satoshi sighed, as Krad tried to get his unruly Tamer's hair to stay down. Satoshi batted furiously at the blonde's hand trying to keep him away. "Stop messing with my hair!"

"As you wish, Satoshi-sama."

"I know what I can make!" Daisuke remarked suddenly, before getting up and heading towards the kitchen. "I'll make you cheesy eggs."

Krad glanced down at Satoshi, the confusion apparent in his eyes. "What's a cheesy egg?" he inquired.

"Isn't it self-expiatory? Its scrambled eggs with cheese on top of them," Satoshi replied with a look of annoyance. "Or are you just that dense?"

"Satoshi-sama, I'm hurt."

"No, you're…" Satoshi began before being interrupted by a loud crashing noise followed by a, I'm still living!

"What a shame, he hasn't killed himself yet, stupid Niwa." Krad joked, earning himself a nasty glare from Satoshi. "Do not worry your pretty little head My Everything, I wouldn't hurt your precious little Niwa," he paused gazing at the blue haired boy, "not yet anyways."

Daisuke sighed as he re-entered the living room, a plate full of burnt offerings in hand. "Hope you don't mind burnt food, Hiwatari-kun," he said handing a plate full to Satoshi, who graciously accepted the plate before almost dropping it to the floor. Krad's free hand flew out in an instant, saving Daisuke's homemade breakfast from hitting the floor.

Krad smirked holding a fork full of food in front of Satoshi's face. "Open up," he commanded.

Satoshi wriggled up his nose in disgust, he could tell by the glint in Krad's eyes that he was enjoying his predicament far too much. "I may be unable to walk very well, Krad, but I'm fully capable of feeding myself," he growled turning his head away and ducking under the blankets again.

Krad shook his head pulling the blankets off of his Tamer. "You are too weak," he stated holding out the fork again. "Why not let me help you, Satoshi-sama?" Satoshi looked at Krad before reluctantly opening his mouth seeing as how there was no point to fighting the Hikari curse.

"Niwa let me put it to you this way, you make a better thief then a cook," Satoshi replied, nearly gagging on the horrible taste of the food, "but, thank you."

Daisuke pouted. "Is my cooking really that bad?" he asked, just as his mother walked in thumbing through a large spell book.

"Hikari, what was used to separate you from that thing?" Emiko inquired, as she found the page she was looking for. "If I don't have it I won't be able to put you back together again."

Satoshi sat in silence for a moment while he tried to remember. "The Dust of Seven Souls," he answered, as Daisuke took his plate, "all I remember is my father forcing it down my throat, but after that it's a blur."

Emiko nodded before asking. "Where is it, Satoshi?"

"Where ever my father was keeping me."

"Dark, go and steal it," Emiko commanded, Daisuke nodded before letting Dark take control of his body.

"I'm going with you, Dark," Satoshi stated, attempting to get off of Krad's lap only to almost fall flat on his face if it hadn't been for Krad grabbing a hold of him by the collar of his shirt.

"I forbid you to go, Satoshi-sama," Krad growled, while Satoshi used the blonde demon's arm to steady himself. "You are too injured."

Dark nodded. "For once I agree with him, Commander," he replied, glancing at the blue haired boy. "You should stay here and rest."

"I'm fine," Satoshi spat, annoyed that everyone was treating him like an invalid. "You'll need me with you anyways, especially after what Krad did to my father."

Dark let out a heavy sigh; he knew the Commander was right that the place would be swarming with cops. "Fine, you can come with, but if you pass out I'm not carrying you back," he remarked, eyeing the boy who flashed him a grateful smile.
