To all of you who know my work I promise this won't end up like the others, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about then go read my other stories please. At least do that before you call me mean or anything like that. Because believe me I've done worse to Dark...and Krad actually.
Pairings: Daisuke/Satoshi
Krad/Dark
Disclaimer: I no own anything. Well except my beloved Dante! hugs Dante Dante: stares. To anyone that wants to see a picture of Dante and or read his background infomation go to k57. line: Satoshi and Daisuke have been dating for awhile now. That is until a certain red head comes to recliam what she thinks is her. What happens when Satoshi sees walks in to see his lover with her and doesn't understand the situation? Can Daisuke get through everything now that he's lost his voice or will everything fall apart? A lesson as to why red heads are dangerious...well at least haradas are.

Chapter 2: 1000 Words
People were rushing around him but it was so hard to hear what they were saying. He tried to lift his arm but pain shot through him. Everything hurt. Memories started to flow into him. Riku going crazy. Satoshi getting angry. A knife and a car. (I got hit by a fucking car!) Daisuke's eyes shot open. (ow light bad. Very very bad.) Blue eyes caught his stare. Satoshi was looking down at him tears in his eyes. Daisuke opened his mouth...but nothing came out.
Daisuke stopped and tried to speak again. Taers started to stream down Satoshi's face. "I'm so sorry Dai."
(Sorry? Sorry for what? You didn't do anything Toshi.) Daisuke tried to speak. Even make a single sound but nothing came out. (What the hell is going on?)
"I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily"
"Dai. This is going to be hard to explain. Riku's been put into prison and Risa Harada is sueing. She believes that you did something to make her sister snap, but that's not the worst Dai. There's something I'm suppose to tell you. I'm so sorry. When Riku used that knife she destroied your voice box. Dai your a mute now." Daisuke raised an eyebrow.
(I'm a what?)
/Your a mute./ Daisuke's head shot up to find a man standing in the doorway. He walked in followed closely by Krad and Dark. Daisuke looked the guy over. His hair was like Satoshi's except it was a dark purple almost black. His eyes were blue with hints of silver. He was handsome but something caught his eye. On his neck was a scar that ran across his throat. It was old or at least it looked old. Another thing Daisuke noticed was that he looked sad.
(Why are you sad?) The man looked at him with a sad stare.
/No need to concern yourself with that little one. It's a long story./ Daisuke nodded. Satoshi looked at Krad and pointed to the man.
Dark smirked. "This is Dante. He's a mute too. He's Krad friend. Who would have thunk it. Krad with normal friends." Darks put a hand on Dante's shoulder. Dante turned and glared at him.
/Remove your hand or else I will remove it for you personally. With a rusted spoon./ Dark pulled back his hand a weary smile on his face.
"Well slightly normal." Krad just smirked at them.
"He's normal enough." Dark gave him a look that said yeah and this is coming from the guy who's idea of normal is pulling guns on senior citizens because they drive to slow. Krad smiled and pulled Dark into a hug. "You know you love me." Dark sighed and leaned into the embrace.
"Still can't figure out why though." Daisuke open his mouth and if he could speak he would have said aww. Dante watched the couple before rolling his eyes.
/Dumbasses./ Daisuke smiled at him. Dante just stared.
(Why don't you smile?) Dante just turned his head.
/I've forgotten how to smile. I forgot a long time ago./ Daisuke nodded. He knew when to back off of a subject. Satoshi looked between the two and grabbed Daisuke's hand. Daisuke looked at him and smiled as Satoshi bent over to give him a soft kiss.
"I have to get to work but I swear I'll be back after Dark's done playing his little game." Dark smirked.
"You know I love to play cops and theif."
/It's cops and robbers you dumbass./
"Yeah yeah same diff." Dante just rolled his eyes and loooked at Krad who shrugged.
"I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily"
Satoshi and Dark left bickering over Dark leaving a note at such a time. Dark simply stated that it was time he got back to having fun. Satoshi countered with you need a better sense of fun. Krad left after them. Saying that he had better go and make sure his theif didn't get caught in Satoshi's sticky net. This left Daisuke with Dante. Dante sat in the chair next to the window and opened his mouth. He started to mouth the words to a song even though none came.
Daisuke felt even worse for the man because even though he didn't speak Daisuke could still hear every word. Daisuke knew the song since he heard it on the game he had been playing. He smiled as he listened to the song in Dante's mind. /Save your tears cause I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door. But still I swore To hide the pain when I turn back the pages. Shouting might have been the answer. What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart. But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart. /
(You like that song?) Dante looked at him a nodded. (Um..I.I. Don't mean to sound noesy but how did you get that scar on your neck?) Dante sighed or at least that's what Daisuke thought it was.
/You first./ Daisuke's eyes widened.
(um. Well you see there was this girl I use to date. She left a couple of years ago after we broke up. I started dating Satoshi afterwards. Turns out love's been right in front of me for the longest time. Anyway she came back and started to say I was her's. Satoshi walked in to see her issing me. She told him some of the rudiest things. Well he ran out telling me that it was over. I pushed her off and yelled at her telling her that I love'd him not her. She got a wee bit pissed. I ran out and I guess she got a knife from the kitchen because after I caught Satoshi and apologized she was behind me with it. She slit my throat and then pushed me in front of a car. The next thing I know I'm here with Satoshi crying next to me telling me that Risa sueing me and that I can no long speak. It's all happening so fast.)
Dante nodded and walked over to the now weeping boy. He pulled him into a hug and stroked his hair while Daisuke cried his eyes out. After a few moments Daisuke got his tears under control. (I'm sorry. It's just so hard to try a be strong.) Dante nodded in understanding.
/Some of us pretend to be strong only because we're afraid to let people see how weak we really are. I envy you for crying actually./ Daisuke looked up at him.
(Why?) Dante sighed again before smiling an empty smile.
/Because I have never cried for my pain and now all the tears I've had have dried up leaving me hollow.It's better to cry instead of pretending to be strong because crying shows that your still alive. You can still feel pain in the world which means you can still feel happiness. By bottling up your emotions you start to lose touch with them. Feelings make life worth living. They make everything real. People live for things such as love and greed and even lust sometimes. They try to fulfill these emotions to bring themselves to a state of bliss. Without them your already dead in a sense. You have nothing to live for. No love, no greed, just nothingness everyday of your life./
"Though a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings."
Daisuke looked at them man tears leeking from his eyes. (That's so sad.) He wiped his eyes with the back of his arm. His body racking with sobs. (I don't know what to say. I hope that maybe you and me can be friends that way you can have someone to talk to.) Dante looked at him before nodding slightly.
/We can be friends. I'm not a very good friend though./ Daisuke smiled.
(There's no such thing asgood friend or a bad friend. Just close friends and people that'll betray you.) Dante laid his head on his arms before looking up and smirking.
/Whatever you say kid. Whatever you say./ Daisuke petted his head softly.
(So you gonna tell me how you got your scar?) Dante sight and shook his head slightly.
/Some other day kid. One day when I learn to trust you. / Daisuke merely nodded and continued to pet his head.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour later Satoshi walked in followed by a happy Dark and grumbling Krad. /What happened/
Dark smirked and lifted up a glass vile. "I beat both of them. Hehe just like the good old days." Satoshi rolled his eyes and Krad continued to grumble. Satoshi sat down next to the sleeping red head.
"How long has he been out?"
Dante shrugged. /About twenty mintues./ Satoshi nodded and kissed the sleeping boy's lips. Krad walked up behind Dark and laid his head down on his shoulder while wrapping his arms around his waist.
"I love you, Dark." He kissed his boyfriend's cheek softly.
"I love you too, Krad." Dante watched the two couples before sighing.
/I'll see you two at home./ Krad and Dark nodded with out turning around. Dante walked out of the room without noticeing the blue eyed boy watching him.
Satoshi felt bad for him but pushed his feeling to the back of his mind and watched the sleeping red head again. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to live without love. All he knew was that if he had to he would have never made it this far.
"And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever"
Dante walked through the empty park. The sky was staring to darken around him as the sun fell. He sat down on an empty park bench and pulled out a cigerrete. A young woman came up to him hair falling down to her waist. She smiled at him her pruple lipstick lips curled in a sick grin. Her green eyes surrounded by bright green eyeshadow. "Hey honey wanna have some fun?" Dante glared at her.
/No./ She continued to smirk.
"I know you. A friend of mine mentioned someone like you. Your name's Dante right?" Dante continued to glare at her.
/It depends on who's asking./ She looked him over. He knew she was undressing him with her eyes. She held out her hand.
"Let's go out. It'll be on me sweet thing. My friend told me you go for guys anyway. Don't worry I won't bite." Dante looked at her hand then at her. He reached out and grabbed it.
(Everyone's meant to find someone to love, but every now and then there's someone who's always left behind.) She smiled and dragged him out of the park the sky getting darker as the blood red sunset became washed away by the blanket of nothingness. ( There are people that think they've found love but they always end up hurt. There are other that think that thry are in love so they push away other people and sometimes they even push away their soul mates.)
They walked into the dark bar. Neon lights flashed as the music rang out into the heavy air. People danced together sweat mixing between their bodies. Friends sat together and laughed. Their were even a few people who sat in the corner watching others have fun. ( How many people here are like me? How many of them are empty shells of what they could have been? How many of them would have died if they weren't afraid?)
"The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
"You've been there with me all the way"
I still hear you say"
She pulled Dante close as she started to dance. "One dance hottie." Dante sighed and started to dance with her. Images of another day began to fill his mind. Brown hair filled his vision the scent of rain started to fill his nose, and tears started to sting at his eyes. He knew that they would never fall because they didn't even exsist anymore.
Bodies moved about him and he never noticed. Everything started to change in his eyes. Here no one cared who he was or what he had done, but come tommorow everything would be the same as it was yesterday. The two stoped dancing and walked to the bar. She order the drinks and Dante gulped his down without a second thought. She smiled and hers was gone too. They found a corner and started to chat about things. Jobs, their friends, hell even about their past relationships.
She smiled at him while telling about a man she had married. "I was in love with. He was my everything. We had been best friends for years. When we were younger I was attacked by a dog and he saved me. He had grabbed a stick and scared him away. We had become best friends. When we got to middle school he started dating all these other girls, but he still remained friends with me. Needless to say alot of his girlfriends didn't like that to much. One actually had the nerve to tell him it was her or me."
She sighed and took a gulp from her martinee. "I was standing there and I knew he was going to choose her because I had listen to him talk about her. He thought she was the one for hjim. I was nears tears when he turned to her and said I choose her. He told her that he was in love but he wasn't sure who he had been in love with until she made him choose. We were seventeen at the time. He asked me to marry him right in front of her. I was so happy that I cried and said yes."
"Wait for me I'll write you letters"
I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt
When I turn back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late"
"We were married right out of highschool and he told me that he was joining the army. I was so happy for him because ever since we were children he had wanted to be a soilder. Well one day we got a call and he had to go away for awhile. He promised to write to me every chance he got. It was three months later that I found out that I was pregnant. I was so excited that I told him in his next letter. He was so happy. We had decided on a name and everything. Well three months later his letters stopped coming. I had a bad feeling and sure enough two weeks later there was a knock at my door telling me that there had been an earthquake where he was stationed."
Tears started to form in her eyes as she downed the rest of her drink. "My husband had died when a building had fallen apart right above him and he had gotten crushed in the debris. The shock sent me in to labor. I was so afraid because it was to early for my baby to come. I had only been pregnant for about seven months. I had twins that day. A little girl and a little boy. They look so much like their father. Their perfectly healthy now. They're both about eight now. I can barely afford the house I'm living in and it's getting harder and harder to keep them happy each day."
Dante watched the woman fall apart in front of him. /You must hate your job then./ She nodded.
"I hate going out and having to sell myself to all the disgusting perverts out there but no one will hire me. I've so much of my childrens lives and there's so much I still want to do with them while their young." Datne watched her and thought about it.
/Quit your job as a hooker and I'll see about you getting a job as my secretary./ The woman looked up at him.
"Your secretary? What do you do?" Dante smiled softly.
/I'm a psychiatrists. I help the crazy people as you might say. Well my other secretary just quit the other day because she got a better job offering so I have a new opening. If your interested. Children are allowed to visit their parents anytime they need. We even have a small arcade for them in the office. Helps children relax when they come for their sessions./ The woman smiled through her tears.
"Thank you so much." She hugged Dante and continued to whisper her thanks. Dante rubbing soothing circles in her back and offered to walk her home. She agreed. When they got to her house Dante told her the address to his office. Before she shut the door she called him back. "I almost forgot to tell you. My name is Asabel."
Dante bowed slightly and kissed her hand. /Goodnight Mrs. Asabel./ She smiled and shut the door.
"Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though we can't see I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings"
Dante walked back to the aparment he shared with Krad and Dark. He was surprise to see that they weren't back yet. Dante shrugged and walked over to the answering machine. /1 new message/ He hit played and listen to Dark come on the phone.
"Hey Dante! We'll be home around ten...I think. We're still up here with Satoshi and Dai. We'll bring food home k? Well gotta go. Be home soon. No Krad my phone. Back back you evil beast!"
"Hey you sleep with this evil beast!"
"I know and that's how I know your an evil beast now give me my phone!"
"Will you two shut up we're in a hospital!"
"Well now your screaming to Satoshi! No wonder you and Krad were in the same body."
"Well at least I'm not screwing him!"
"Good because then I'd kill you. Hey Krad what are you doing with my phone."
"Bye bye Dante see you soon."
"Krad don't throw my phone out th..."
"That was your last message goodbye."
Dante rolled his eyes. (I have a bad feeling we'll be visiting cingular soon.) He looked towards the clock that flashed 9:55 in bright green. /Whelp five mintues of peace left./ He sat down in front of the t.v and plug in the playstation. He turned it on and watched as the screen lite up. /Dance dance revolution the best game ever for nerves./ He choose his favorite song on there. Look to the sky started to play as a noise came from outside. /5..4..3..2..1/ The door opened up with a bickering Krad and Dark entering the room with three pizzas.
"Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever"
The three sat around and ate piuzza while Dante kicked Dark's ass at DDR. Of course Dark did have Krad behind him tickling him everytime the song started to get fast. After awhile Krad and Dark went to bed. Dante sighed and shut the game off. He walk past Krad and Dark's room and heard the two speaking sweet little nothings in each others ear. Dante rolled his eyes. /Guess this means I'll be listening to the radio tonight./
"Put on a good song, Dante!" Dark yelled out of the room.
/I'll put on whatever I feel like putting on/ He heard Dark sigh and Krad laugh at his lover.
"Night Dante!"
/Night Krad...Dark./ He heard Dark snort before mummbling goodnight.
Dante walked into his room. The walls were a dark blue but were completely bare. There were no photographs or posters. His clothes were in a dresser and his carpet was nice and clean. He had a small bookcase beside his bed. He had a small bed in the corner and an alarm clock. He had a small stereo in the corner with a small stack of cds.
He picked up a cd and put it in before crancking it up. He laid down on his bed and thought back over the day. /Two friends in one day...maybe there is some hope for me after all. Piff maybe and maybe the stars will fall and finally kill this empty shell that society made me into. But still it's nice to dream. Even if it only turns out to be a dream./ He closed his eyes as he listend to the end of the song. Sleep started to cloud his mind. Dreams wiped at the edge of his mind as he drifter further into his mind. The moon shone down through the window and shone brightly off of the tears that fell from his eyes.
"Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings ohhh
And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the lonely years to only days
They'll hold you forever."
