Hello! Sorry for the lack of update! I've re-updated this chapter again coz I have reconstructed the foundation of this story.

Reason I Love to Fly

Chapter 1

"Good morning," the red haired boy murmured as he sat down beside the short brown haired girl. He placed his bag under the brown wooden desk and stared ahead as the other college students entered the lecture hall.

"Morning!" she replied cheerfully. "What's wrong, Daisuke?" Riku asked as the red-haired boy heaved a big sigh beside her. His eyes looked dreamy as if he did not get enough sleep last night and there was also worry in his eyes.

"Nothing," he replied the short haired girl, "Just a weird feeling."

"I had a weird feeling last night as well," Satoshi sat behind him, "Mine was full of hatred and yet not so. I can still feel it now."

"This kind of feeling," Daisuke began without looking at the blue-haired boy, "It's like Dark is out there fighting."

"Satoshi said he sorta felt Krad fighting too," the long haired Risa said.

"It's been five years, huh?" Satoshi said softly.

"Morning everyone!" Takeshi stopped in front of them, "Guess what?"

All four of the student from Azumano College looked at him. Takeshi smirked and said, "Rumours has it that Dark and White Dark may be back!" Riku and her younger twin Risa stared at Takeshi with disbelief in their eyes while Daisuke and Satoshi sighed and stared at the table.

"Oh yes," Takeshi quickly changed the subject, "The only princess of Kasumi-sama is found in the park around midnight last night. Apparently, someone left her there. A museum guard said that it might have been her who was still in the museum last night and caused something to happen to Black Wings."

"Black Wings!" Satoshi stood up and looked at Takeshi, shocked, "What happened!"

"The guard said he saw a girl trying to touch the quartz on it," Takeshi began, "He tried to stop her but she ended up tripping and sort of activated the Black Wings. He said there was a blinding flash light and then he was unconscious after he was thrown to the wall."

"What's happening, Satoshi?" Risa asked.

"Maybe they're back," Satoshi replied, "We're going to have a massive headache."

"Yeah," Daisuke answered. Takeshi looked at the two boys suspiciously.

"Anyway, how did YOU know that Kasumi-sama's daughter is missing?" Riku tried to distract Takeshi as Takeshi did not know that Dark and Krad were once a part of the two boys.

"Well…um…uh…I just know!" he stuttered.

"Spill it," Risa helped her sister. Takeshi turned around and started to walk away in embarrassment. Risa smiled victoriously and voiced her thoughts out loud, "You like her, don't you?"

Takeshi stopped for a while before he dashed out of the hall and into the toilet. Those who saw him told Risa that Takeshi's face was bright red when he ran out of the hall. All four of them laughed despite the trouble that may arise in the near future.

"But seriously, Kasumi-sama's daughter is really beautiful," Risa said. "I wish I have her long cascading light brown hair," she murmured dreamily.

"Yeah, and she's so slender too," Riku joined her sister.

"Risa, you have long hair too," Satoshi said.

"Riku, you are slender too," Daisuke said.

"Yeah, but," both the twins sighed. Daisuke and Satoshi looked at each other and sighed.

"You are beautiful the way you are, Risa," Satoshi told Risa and held her hand in his under the table.

"Don't go changing yourself just because there is someone whom you think is better than you, Riku," Daisuke gave Riku a peck on her cheek.

"Yuri-sama!" the voice of the housemaid stopped the young lady, "Please don't wander off after school again." The maid, dressed in a black dress with a white apron said to her.

Yuri nodded and smiled at her before she resumed her walk to her family's black limousine. She sighed as she sat on the seat. She looked out of the window as the limousine drove out of the mansion. After ten minutes of the journey, Yuri saw other female students in the same blue uniform as her walked in groups, talking and laughing as they go. Something struck in Yuri's heart as she realized that she didn't have close friends to share her feelings with.

'Why must Yuri be so alone at home?' she asked herself. 'I've always wished for someone to be by Yuri's side, to talk to Yuri and to ease Yuri's loneliness,' she fingered the star pendant on her necklace.

"We have arrived, Yuri-sama," her driver said as he opened the door for her.

"Thank you," Yuri said to the bowed driver as she stepped out of the limousine. She clutched her school bag in her hands as she headed into the school compound. As she walked, she drew in a deep breathe and got herself ready to plaster a smile on her face. She held her head high and continued down the path that leads into the school building.

"Good morning, Yuri-sama," she heard a group of girls waved to her under the tree. She turned her head towards them.

"Good morning," Yuri said to them with a smile. It had always been this way ever since Yuri can remember. She had always been greeted and she would return them with a smile even though she was sad. She was taught that way.

Her parents were the aristocrats who had just moved into the town a year ago. They also happened to be one of the richest couple in town which contributed to their fame. Everywhere Yuri turned, there would be people who knew her but she did not know them. It made her feel uneasy but all she could do was to return their greetings with a warm smile. Although she knew it, she still tried her best to remember everyone.

Yuri continued her walk into the school building, deep in her thoughts. She wanted to see her mother that morning but she saw that she was busy talking on the phone when she entered her mother's office. She sat on the sofa in front of her mother's magnificent wooden office desk and waited for her to finish her conversation. She remembered their conversation.

"Yes, that is a brilliant suggestion, my dear," Yuri heard her mother exclaimed happily on the phone, "I will talk to Yuri about this. Don't you worry, dear. Yes, we'll see you soon. Good bye."

Her mother hung up the phone and rose from her black leather chair. She approached Yuri and patted her shoulder before she sat beside her.

"Darling," she began, "Your father suggested that we hire a bodyguard. We will find one immediately. So, darling, do get used to it."

"Mother, what do you me-" Yuri was interrupted as their limousine driver knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, Rikada-sama," he said, "It is time for Yuri-sama to go to school."

"We'll continue our conversation later today," Yuri's mother said to her, "The main point is, we are going to hire a bodyguard."

"Mother, I want to know-" her mother cut her off.

"Go to school now, darling," she pushed Yuri out of the office room, "Be on your best behaviour and do well in your studies!"

'A bodyguard?' Yuri asked herself, 'Yuri guess Mother is going outstation again. And then Yuri will be all alone at the mansion. Well, it's not that Yuri is not alone all the time.'

Yuri sat down on her chair and took out her book on poems by William Shakespeare. She glanced out of the window before she began on the book and saw the museum. She closed her eyes and tried to remember what had happened. She only remembered herself talking to Black Wings but she had forgotten what happened next.

She turned her attention back to her book as she flipped it to the first page. The other students in the class gasped at her as she was reading a thick book on Shakespeare's masterpieces meant for higher studies on literature.

"Why doesn't she take a rest once in a while?" Yuri heard a girl whispered to her companion at the corner of the class.

"Don't ask me," her companion replied, "But that is what made Yuri-sama such an accomplished student in literature! Just imagine it! She got the highest score for literature in our school! Even a graduate couldn't compete with her knowledge in terms of literature and mythology."

'Why does Yuri study literature so hard?' Yuri asked herself, 'Why?'

Yuri did not manage to answer her own question. She stared at the first page of the book for a long time until the teacher for the first lesson entered the class. The tall and slim female teacher smile at them and said that there was nothing to study for the day and that they may do whatever they like as long as it is by the rules and regulation of the school.

Yuri smiled and paid attention to her book. It was almost the end of November and everyone was very excited of the coming spring break. Yuri knew that it would be a long lonely holiday as she stared out of the window once again.

As the day drew to an end in the school, Yuri slipped her book back into her bag and headed out of the classroom. The hallway was empty as the students were in a rush to go home to a warm and comfortable dinner. Yuri hung her head as she realized that she would only go home to a lonely yet luxurious dinner.

'Yuri have to ask Mother about that too,' Yuri made a mental note to herself as she climbed into the limousine that was parked in front of the school gate. The school was only minutes away from the mansion but she never knew the reason she was not allowed to walk to school. Before she knew it, Yuri was already standing in front of the large door to her house.

As the door opened for her, she stepped into the foyer and glanced around. There was a long red carpet laid on the shiny black tiled floor from the door to the end of the hall where the dining room was hidden behind the dark wooden door. There were two flights of stairs on both sides of the foyer that led to the second floor of the mansion.

"Yuri-sama, let me take your bag," the maid who opened the door offered. Yuri gave her the bag and smiled gratefully to her. The brunette smiled back as she took the bag.

"Thank you, Chise," Yuri said to her.

"Yuri-sama," Yuri saw another maid bowed at her, "Dinner is served."

"Thank you," Yuri said with a smile and walked to the dining room. The blonde haired maid followed her master.

"Hisui, where's my Mother?" Yuri asked when she entered the dining room to find it empty.

"Rikada-sama had an urgent call and rushed out an hour ago," Hisui answered her.

"When will she be back?" Yuri asked her.

"Forgive me, Yuri-sama. Rikada-sama did not inform me of the time she will be back," the maid bowed.

"It's alright," Yuri sat down on the cushioned chair at the end of the long dining table and ate her dinner in silence. It always felt awkward to have someone looking at you while you are eating and Yuri still haven't got used to it even though there were servants to watch over her every minute since she was born.

Evening came swiftly and Yuri had changed into her white nightgown after a warm bath. She put on an outer creamy white cotton robe and walked out into the balcony and rested her arms on the railing. She looked at the now dark sea ahead of her and wondered when her mother will be back. Just as she thought of her mother, her cell phone rang. Yuri quickly got into her room and answered the call.

"Darling," Yuri heard her mother said, "I'm so sorry I had to leave on such a short notice."

"It's alright, Mother," Yuri replied.

"I'm terribly sorry, Darling," Rikada repeated, "But I promise that I will be back by tomorrow afternoon. Then we will discuss about the bodyguard issue."

"Mother, I want to know-" Yuri got cut off by her mother again.

"Sorry Darling, I have to go now. Take care," was all Yuri heard before the line went dead.

'Yuri didn't get to ask about it again,' Yuri said with disappointment. She put down her pearl coloured cell phone on the white painted desk and sat on the matching coloured chair. She pulled out the drawer and took out her white covered journal with pictures of lilies on it. With her right hand she held the white pen and began to write in her journal.

"Daisuke," Satoshi called when he saw the red haired boy standing in the middle of the park alone. Daisuke turned at his called and he was surprised to see Satoshi in the park as well. "What are you doing here? It's already 9 pm," Satoshi continued.

"What are YOU doing here too?" Daisuke asked back.

"I felt it," Satoshi replied. Daisuke nodded.

"They're here together," Daisuke said, "I hope they're okay."

"Let' find them and have our questions answered," Satoshi said. The two best friends followed their instincts and ventured into the bushes away from the streets of the park. As they entered a clearing, they saw two figures sitting with their back to the same tree but away from each other.

The two figures saw Daisuke and Satoshi but they ignored their presence as they were too tired to even open their eyes. Both Dark and Krad breathe slowly and tried to regain their strength after their non-stop battle.

"Dark!" Daisuke shouted and ran to him. He gently shook Dark and was horrified to see his black leathered clothes all torn and dried blood clung onto his skin.

"Krad!" Satoshi called as he knelt down in front of him. The blonde's clothes were tattered with blood and his clothes were torn as well.

"Yo!" Dark answered Daisuke.

"Satoshi-sama," Krad said as he slowly opened his eyes.

"What happened?" Daisuke asked Dark.

"Ask that blonde," Dark motioned Daisuke to the blonde who sat on the other side of the tree.

"Hmph," Krad laughed, "You are the one whose power and skill have dwindled in the last five years."

"Krad, don't move," Satoshi said as he check Krad's wounds, "They're not deep. They should heal in a short while."

"Why do you care about me now, Satoshi-sama?" Krad asked.

"Satoshi have always cared for you, Krad! As I cared for Dark," Daisuke said. The blonde only smiled before he closed his eyes and slipped into unconsciousness.

"Krad!" Satoshi shouted as he shook the blonde.

"Dark!" Daisuke called as Dark too became unconscious.

"Daisuke, we need to get them to somewhere safe," Satoshi said.

"Yeah," Daisuke said, "I'll get my mom to get them to my house." Daisuke pulled out his cell phone and called his mom. As soon as Daisuke spoke of the two's condition, he got a short yet very loud lecture on the phone before Emiko agreed to fetch them back.
