Chapter two, Fire:
He was alone, hopelessly alone. He didn't have anyone. He ran in the darkness, then fell to the ground. His body was paralyzed, but he wouldn't care. He breathed deep,
"Dark!" He exclaimed, but no one came. It started to get cold, and if possible more dark. He wanted to cry, but he was dried out. He felt a great pain his back, then felt something submerge from the small of his back. He saw that they shone a great red, a blood red. He had grown wings. He had no idea why, and they were more terrible than anyone could imagine. He looked up at them sacredly, then felt warmth throughout his body. He stood and his wings wrapped themselves around his body, and he didn't even make them do so. He was still cold, from lack of Dark. He wanted to cry, but somehow, he couldn't. He walked forward, nearly stumbling. He felt his wings spread about, away from his body, as if to get ready to fly.
He saw that his wings were bigger than Dark's, much bigger. He must have looked like an ant with butterfly wings. He could picture is in his head, but the little ant wasn't him
Dai looked up, and saw two purple orbs looking at his from the darkness. They sped down and went through him, "And now, your dream is reality, they all will be"
"What…?" Dai asked, he was more worn out then he thought. He sighed and fell, but he didn't stop when he got the ground, he kept falling, down and down.
"Daisuke!" Dark yelled, shaking the young man. Dai had suddenly grown huge red wings, and Dark didn't know what to do. He tried to shake him, but it didn't work. So he thought of Snow White, (Don't ask me why)The guy woke her up by kissing her didn't he? Well, worth a try.
Dark leaned down and kissed Dai square on the lips. This made the body quiver and shake. Dai's beautiful red orbs opened and looked confused, "Dark?"
Dark was overjoyed, he also wanted answers. But he also wanted his little Dai to be all right. He smiled and looked down, "Daisuke, why do you have wings?"
Dai was so shocked that he jumped to his feet, he looked at his back. There was a little blood from were his wings came from his back. With that, he nearly fainted, if it weren't for Dark. Dark sped to catch him,
"D-D-Dark," Dai said in a cute little stutter, "I-I thought t-that was a d-dr-dream,"
Dark just looked down at his pale and frightened companion, "It's all right, wings aren't that bad,"
"Really?" Dai looked up at Dark with a look of pure innocence, nothing could waver the pureness of his heart, that shone in his eyes,
Dark froze, he couldn't take it, looking at this man. He was TOO cute, "Yeah, I have them,"
"But, I thought that was With," Dai said, reffering to his little rabbit-thing,
Dark sweat dropped, "Don't you remember what I did yesterday?"
"Oh, sorry," Dai said, looking down at his hands, "But, the person in my dream said that my dreams will become reality,"
Dark gasped, someone
had put a dream curse on Daisuke!
"Dai! Have you been near
Hiwatari or Krad lately?" Dark asked, "I mean before this?"
"Umm…. I did accidentally bump into Krad, then he had a weird smile on his face," Dai said, oblivious to the fact that Krad had cursed him,
"Damn that Krad!" Dark exclaimed, then slammed his fist into the sand, "He placed a curse on you!"
"What!"
"What he didn't know is that we would be stranded on an Island. He probably put the dream curse on you to make people hate you, because he does,"
Daisuke wanted to cry, but he had been doing enough of that lately, "So, what does this curse do?"
Once again, very thick
headed. But still innocent, "It will make what ever you dream come
true, and it's probably only a small portion of the curse, only to
make what things happen to YOU in the dream happen in real life,"
"Oh," Dai said, then looked up at Dark, "Well! There's no
one but you here to see me! That means no one will hate me, and then
we can find a way to break it!"
"Okay…" Dark said,
"Okay! Then let's go collect wood for a fire!"
"Fire?"
"Yah! I read in a book that if you get lost or stranded, the first thing you should do is make a fire!" Dai said, then grabbed Dark's hand to pull him up, "Now, let's find wood!"
"I don't really think that will be a problem," Dark said, pointing at the surrounding forest,
"Yay! This is just like Gilligan's Island!" Daisuke yelled,
"No…it's not," Dark sighed, but was happy that his companion was ecstatic about the whole thing. He smiled and chased after Dai.
"So…" Dark said, looking at the pile of wood, "How do we start it?"
"Don't you have something like that?" Dai asked, staring at a small bug that was crawling along a leaf,
"No, but hey…" Dark said, and sneakily put his arm on Daisuke's wings,
"What are you doing?" Dai asked, having the touch send shivers down his spine,
"Nothing," Dark said, then began to stroke the blood red feathers. While Dai was defenseless, he grabbed a handful of feathers and tugged as hard as he could. Daisuke screamed in pain and scrambled to his feet. He ran about two yards, then turned around, "That wasn't very nice!"
He looked back to see Dark putting his feathers on the wood, "What are you doing?"
"I heard that the mystic red wings flame after fifteen seconds of being away from their previous body," Dark said, then watched the dried leaves and grass shrivel, "five…Four…Three…Two…One…"
The red feathers exploded into flames, startling Daisuke. They set the wood and leaves on fire, and every part of what they collected, "See?"
Dark had a smile, then looked over at Daisuke. Dai wasn't facing Dark anymore. He was sitting and had his wings wrapped tightly around his body. It looked like he was a little red ball.
"Dai…Suke?" Dark asked, walking up to the young man. Dark gently poked Dai's side, "Dai-su-ke?"
Dai just unfolded his wings and laid on the ground, "I'm hungry,"
"Aren't we all?" Dark asked, rubbing Dai's back lightly, "Let's go collect some…Uhh…fish!"
Dai looked up, "Okay,"
Dai smiled and stood. He felt some weight on one of his wings, then looked back at Dark to see him looking at were he had pulled out Dai's wings, "What are you doing?"
"I really got you good didn't I? Wow, I didn't know I pulled out that many," He said, then looked at it closer, "Having feathers pulled out can be painful,"
"Yeah," Dai said sarcastically, then walked toward the ocean.
Dai sighed, making himself even more miserable. Dark ended up getting all the fish with magic, which looked simple enough. Dai had tried to catch one, put ended up getting scolded by Dark, and falling in the ice cold water.
Dai had walked as far as he could away from Dark and sat on the ground. (After quickly grilling a fish) Dark had scolded him for trying to use magic. Even though all Dai did was chant a few words, making the fish Dark was holding explode. Poor fish. He nibbled on the crusty under parts of the sea creature and called himself a hypocrite; he was eating a FISH after all.
After a couple of minutes, Dai was close to freezing and still hungry. He looked over and saw Dark laying on his back, napping peacefully. Dai looked into the bright blue sky, (Yes, it IS daytime) He sighed and guessed it was around noon.
"Oh, what to do," Dai asked, then thought that he was pretty tired. Wait, TOO tired. This wasn't normal, he hadn't done much that day. Dai felt drowsy then looked over at Dark. The man was looking this way, but Dai could barley notice. Dai's eyes started to close as he heard Dark's frantic yells then felt the impact of the sand beneath him.
Once again, Dai was in a dark and lonely place. He had that deep feeling of loneliness and emptiness. He looked around, and saw the usual purple eyes, surrounded by black and swirling red, "Hello my friend, what shall I have in store for you today?"
"I'm on an abandoned island, no one is going to see me," Dai said in a monotone voice, having a spark in his eyes that confirmed that he was lost in his own dream,
"Oh, is that so? What bout your little lover Dark?" The eyes asked,
"He will like me no matter what I do," Dai said, then looked down at his feet, "or become,"
"Is that entirely true, young one? I don't believe he exactly liked you when you tried to use magic,"
"Uhh," Dai said, at a loss for words. Dark would hate him, would think he was ugly,
"Exactly, now, I shall change you slowly, this time, two things shall be added, one thing shall change," The eyes said, then dipped low and went through Dai again.
Dai felt a great pain in his head and just below his back, a little above his bottom. He also felt a tingling sensation in his eyes.
When Daisuke opened his eyes, he heard someone gasp. He blinked a couple times, then sat up. He saw Dark kneeling next to him on the sand, and he heard the subtle lap of waves against the shore, "What in the world happened?"
"You just fainted," Dark said, then tackled Dai, "I'm so glad you are all right!"
Dai blushed as he was submerged in a great embrace.
Dai sat up and felt something brush him wings. He looked back and nearly fainted again, he had a tail! Like a flickering cat tail, thin and orange.
"What else?" Dai hesitantly asked Dark, having distinctly heard the eyes in his dream say that two things would be added,
"Umm…" Dark mumbled, then pointed at Dai's ears. Dai lifted his hands and touched his ears, he felt something furry and warm. He looked as well as he could and saw to cat ears coming out were his old ears were!
"Uhh…The dream also said something would change," Dai mumbled, putting his forehead in his palm,
"Your eyes," Dark
said immediately, "Your eyes are now thin like a cat's,"
"Great! I'm turning into a cat with wings!" Dai exclaimed,
before grabbing his tail, "This thing wont stop moving!"
Yay! I know the cat thing is kinda' corny, but I liked it!
