Yay! I updated!

Dark hunched behind a crate that they had loaded on the ship. They had originally dumped him on the sand of the beach, but Dark didn't abandon Daisuke. He had run all the way to the port and climbed discreetly on board. He was now waiting and watching, trying to get his chance to find Dai. They had taken him, and Dark and woken up on the beach.

"Aye, Pull away the ropes," One of the burly crewman exclaimed, and Dark knew that they were going to set off. He looked through squinted eyes to try and catch sight of that man that was on the island. The man that called Dai his tenshi.

Dark shivered involuntarily at that thought, and pushed it to a far part of his mind. He looked around, not seeing that man. But it was a fairly small boat, and Dark knew that the head honcho dude would be in the little room under the deck. He knew that at least. And he knew that this was the right ship, because he saw the man get on this one.

Dark felt the boat give a jolt, and all the crew members were all a bustle, raising the sails and getting everything ready. He looked around and knew that no one would notice him. He ran and ran as fast as he could to the door that lead to the room under the deck. No one noticed him and he opened the door quietly and walked in, closing it quietly.

He jogged down the small flight of stairs and saw that the man was...sleeping. Thank god. Dark tip toed and looked around, not seeing anything. He cursed himself and looked again, then spotted a door. He ran to it and flung it open, not remembering the man sleeping. What he saw nearly killed him.

It was Daisuke, holding his knees close to his body, his wings creating a small shield around himself. His tail was wrapped around his knees and his cat-ears were pressed tightly against his cheeks. Dark walked forward and saw Dai flinch.

"Daisuke," Dark said, kneeling down to Dai, "It's me,"

Dai's wings parted and he lifted his eyes to see his love. Dai smiled wide and nearly tackled Dark in an embrace, "Dark!"

"Shh!" Dark exclaimed, his arms still around Dai, pulling the smaller one to his lap. He ran his hand through Dai's hair and placed his chin on the smaller's head, "are you alright? Did they do anything to you? Anything at all?"

"No," Dai said, shaking his head while pressed to Dark's chest, "Nothing,"

Dark breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Dai closer, "I was so worried,"

"How cute,"

Dark looked up and saw that man in the doorway. He had forgotten about that sleeping guy, and now regretted it. Dark pushed Dai in the corner of the room and stood in front of the smaller. He concentrated, then felt a pain in his back.

"Amazing," The man said, putting his hand to his chin.

Dark grew dark violet wings, coming strait from his back. They were large, but only a bit bigger than Dai's. He put them up and out, making a barrier around Dai. He felt Dai's arms wrap around his torso, and he grasped Dai's hands.

"Interesting. Not as interesting as my Tenshi, but still interesting." The man said, and backed out of the room, locking it in the process. Dark listened intensely. He man had locked too many locks for even the Phantom Thief Dark to get out of.

"Dark, what are they going to do to us?" Dai asked quietly, having Dark turn around in his arms. Dai wanted to cry, but he didn't in front of Dark. Not in this situation.

"I don't know," Dark said, backing into the corner with Dai in his lap. He was determined to keep his wings, because he wanted whatever would happen to Dai, to happen to him. He didn't exactly have a hard time keeping them out anyways.

Dai clutched to Dark's shirt as he heard footsteps above. He was scared. He was terrified. He was petrified. Nothing could describe how scared he was.

"Dark," Dai said, hiding his face in his boyfriends chest, "I'm...I'm scared,"

"Yeah, me too," Dark openly admitted that he was scared. He started stroking Dai's hair while clutching the smaller one to his chest, "I'll protect you, I promise,"

Dai nodded and let himself relax in Dark's embrace. His wings started to flutter and Dark started to scratch behind Dai's cat-ears, the other stroking the bright maroon wings. Dai shuddered from pleasure, sighing and melting into Dark's hug. He wrapped his tail around Dark's torso, a purr forming deep in his chest. He smiled constantly and his bottom pair of wings created a barrier around them. The wings made him feel...safe. That old thing that kids said, 'if I cant see you, you can't see me', well, the wings made it so that Dai couldn't see anything but Dark, and he was so happy that Dark was here.

He felt Dark increase the pressure of his scratching behind his ear and Dai purred loudly, not caring this time that he was purring. Dark smiled happily, liking the soothing and almost heavenly sound of Dai's purrs. He was holding Dai around the shoulder, and Dai was holding him around the waist. Dark would never let Dai be alone, ever again. No force in heaven, hell, or earth could make him let go of Dai.

Dark heard the man enter the room again, but this time it was to dark to see him. He tightened his hold around the sleeping Dai's waist and listened to the content purring of the small tenshi. He knew that something would change about Dai again, but Dai was so stressed that he needed sleep.

Dark saw something glow on Dai, and was deeply soothed that the only thing that changed on Dai was that the ears on the side of his head slowly moved to the top of his head, instead of the sides.

"Look at that," the man said with a hint of a smile, "this is most interesting, I've come here to take him,"

Dark growled deep in his throat and held Dai harder, staring the man with an intimidating glare. The man only chuckled, "You're coming too, of course,"

Dark sighed in relief, but didn't let down his defensive front. He growled when the man came forward, and he glared daggers at the man.

"If you don't cooperate, I'll separate you two," the man said, glaring back at Dark, "permanently"

Dark growled again, knowing that this man had the power to actually do this. Dark stood and trudged over to where the man was, carrying Dai in a bridal style. He still had the boy clutching to his shirt, and he never planned on letting go.

"How cute," The man said with a bit of disgust in his voice. He looked at Dark, his face and nearly all of him surrounded and covered by shadows, "Now that you are listening to me, follow,"

Dark followed the man although he really didn't want to. All he wanted to do right now was take his chance and split. He was about to, but when he reached the deck of the ship, that fled from his mind. There were men on the sails, men on the crows nest, men on deck, men hanging from ropes tied to the masts, big burly mean looking men everywhere! Dark growled again, following the man, with eyes on him from every spot.

"Hey, sexy, what you doin' here?"

"OO, look at that one, you lookin' for a good time?"

"Hey, come over here,"

Dark couldn't take all the heated gazes and speech that made his skin crawl. He stretched out his dark violet wings and they fluttered in the wind, just waiting to be flown. Wait...fly.

Dark looked up into the sky, and currently, there wasn't any men right above him. Take the chance! He kept telling himself this.

He flapped his wings slow at first, then faster. He felt his feet pick up off the ground, and this gave him the encouragement he needed.

Dark zoomed into the sky, looking down at the bewildered faces of all the crew, and of especially the captain, who stood there with a stupid look on his face. Dark laughed softly, making sure not to wake Dai. But the first thing he would tell Dai when he woke, was that they made it out. They made their escape! He flapped his wings again and felt the great winds of this high up brush past his wings and feathers, making his hair go crazy. Well...his heart was going crazy. He'd never felt anything so exhilarating! Flying with With was nice, but flying with his own wings was something no one else to experience! He wondered if Dai knew how to fly yet, probably not.

Dai's cat ears twitched a bit, and his eyes opened slowly, the great force of the wind waking him up. He looked up slowly and saw that Dark was holding him, but Dark was looking every which way. Dai smiled, snuggling deeper into Dark.

"Dai, we got out, we made it!" Dark said, resting his cheek against Dai's temple, "we got out,"

"No," Dai said, reaching up and putting his arms around Dark's neck, "You made it out, I'm just here for the ride,"

Dark laughed, then twirled in the air, laughing, "I can't believe it!"

Dai licked Dark's cheek, making Dark stop and stare at him in wonder. Dai ignored Dark and continued to lick Dark's cheek, purring a little, wrapping his tail around Dark's wrist.

"You really are a cat," Dark said, reaching up and scratching behind Dai's ear. Dark flapped his wings and soared so high in the sky, that the ducks were saying hi to them. Dark leaned down and whispered into Dai's ear, "Where should we go?"

"We can't go home," Dai said, his eyes contorting in hidden pain, "They wouldn't accept me there. We can't go to England with my relatives. But we need to go somewhere with people, we can't live on that island."

Dark nodded, then looked around, "How about I just fly strait forward, and we land where ever we see land?"

Dai laughed, then looked up into Dark's eyes, a happy smile spreading on his face, "Yah,"
