Chapter 5: The Start of New Things
"Now to go see Daisuke... I hope he's okay... What am I saying? His entire families been murdered. He won't be okay for a long time." Dark said to himself as he flew, using Wiz for wings instead of those fake ones that drained him of his magic.
He didn't feel like going back, but he couldn't turn his back on his problems, he had to make sure Daisuke was safe first.
Within' minutes the hospital was coming into view, it stood at an impressive eighteen stories and it's light silver glowed from the setting sun. The place was so unpleasant, yet they still tried so hard to make it a welcoming place. He landed in the shade of the trees offering him a bit of protection from prying eyes, as Wiz turned back and Dark put on his cap.
Walking out of the small group of trees he crossed the parking lot and found Daisuke sitting outside the entrance doors.
He let out a heavy sigh and put up a smirk. He really didn't want to smirk or even smile, but he'd put this facade up as long as Daisuke hurt.
"What are you doing out here? I figured you'd be inside answering questions." Dark said as he aproached him and sat beside him on the side walk his legs lazily extended on to the asphalt of the parking lot.
"They whispered that 'they wouldn't be getting much out of him' and walked off... About twenty minutes ago." Daisuke spoke softly his voice filled with sadness as he looked at the ground, his legs brought close to his chest and his chin rested on his knees.
Dark wasn't sure what to say, after all the times that he'd talked Daisuke it had been about petty things. Nothing like this, no this was something he had no experience in, yet for some reason he found himself talking even as his mind wandered in search of some way to confort Daisuke, just one sentence, if only.
"You'll be leaving tomorrow. I've arranged for a plane ticket and fake ids for you," Dark started. "You'll be moving to California, so brush up on your English, okay?"
"Are you coming too?" Daisuke asked looking up to Dark for the first time, his eyes pleading for him to say yes, but when the word never came Daisuke looked back at the ground and muddered 'oh'.
"I'm sorry Daisuke I didn't mean for this to happen to you, but I can't let him kill you too. This is my fight now, not yours. And I don't plan on having you get caught in the middle of it." Dark said his voice grave and serious. It seemed unbecoming of the theif, but he spoke it just the same.
"I know your worried about me, but let me make my own decisions," Daisuke's voice rose as anger began to take form in him, consuming him. "I know I'm not a good theif and I'm clumsy, but I don't want to be left out of this, not now, not ever!"
Daisuke was shocked to find that he had moved leaning toward Dark, now sitting on his knees, fist clentched and a red mark on the side of Dark's face.
"Daisuke... I'm sorry." Dark said softly as he rubbed his left cheek. 'Damn, he punched me hard. I didn't know he had it in him.' Dark thought as he suddenly smiled and ruffled Daisuke's hair. "Do you feel better now?"
Daisuke looked like he was too shocked to even say anything. He looked down, his bangs hiding his face and suddenly he shot forward his lips touching Dark's. Dark, who was shocked at first wrapped his arms around Daisuke and kissed him back. Daisuke wasn't emotionally balanced anymore and Dark knew he was taking advantage of him, but one kiss wouldn't hurt... Would it?
Daisuke broke the kiss and buried his head into Dark's chest. Dark could feel his shirt become wet with tears as Daisuke choked out 'don't leave me'.
Dark hugged him tighter and kissed the top of his head. "You know I can't stay with you. He'll kill you."
"Come on, we'll stay at Satoshi's for the night." Dark said as he let go out Daisuke. Daisuke still clung to his shirt, but he let go after a moment and they both rose Daisuke a bit shaky. He clung to Dark's arm for support. Dark just sighed and picked him up bridial style, Wiz jumping out of the back of his shirt and transforming into wings. Dark had wondered why Wiz kept hiding, but he pushed it aside and took flight.
It didn't take him long to get to Satoshi's apartment, in fact the only trouble was when Daisuke almost fell down a flight of stairs.
Daisuke lightly knocked on the apartment door. No answer. Dark shrugged to Daisuke and turned the knob finding that it was unlocked. Dark pushed the door open and walked in, Daisuke right behind him. The place was a mess. Evern Daisuke was shocked by the mess. Curtains were ripped, a part of it had blood on it and there were papers everywhere you looked, alot of them had pictures of the necklaces that Dark had stolen.
"What happened?" Daisuke asked Dark still entranced by the blood that dripped off a corner of the curtain.
"I'm guessing that Satoshi and Krad had a nice fight in here, but neither one of them is dead... There would of been more blood, " Dark said squating down and inspecting
a dry drop of blood by his foot.
"I hope Satoshi's okay." Daisuke said looking the place over once more. A laptop caught his eye. It was laying by the wall parallel to him, the screen flashed a couple of times, then it went out.
"I'm sure creepy bastard can handle himself." Dark replied and stood up. "Well Daisuke, where are going to stay now?"
Daisuke contemplated for a moment, he looked so cute when he thought and Dark chuckled when Daisuke looked like he was over thinking.
"Hmm... How about the Haradas!" Daisuke yelled, a little too excited.
"Fine, but if I get jumped by Risa you're dead." Dark said sighing at the thought of her tackling him, knocking him out, and tieing him up in her basement.
"Okay, I'll try and keep it from happening." Daisuke said half laughing as he walked out of the apartment, his troubles forgotten for that moment.
Dark smirked and scooped up Daisuke bridal style. Daisuke yelped and looked at Dark half pouting.
"What'd you do that for?"
"Because you're too slow and I wanna fly out of here... It's alot more fun." Dark said chuckling, when Daisuke glared at him.
Haradas
"Riku... Have you seen my lepard undies!" Risa yelled to her twin as she franticly ravaged through her clothes.
Riku dodged a flying dress as she walked out of the bathroom, a toothbrush hanging out of her mouth.
"Wha ya ean eprd unies?" She managed to get out before she took out her toothbrush, this time dodging a big pile of clothes.
She tapped her sister on her shoulder and Risa turned around to see a dress over each of her shoulders, a sock hanging from her head as well as a pair of pants.
"Why. Are. You. Searching. For those god damn lepard underwear!" Riku said handing her an article of clothing everytime she spoke a word and lashing out on her sister when she ran out.
"What? I have a feeling that Dark is going to be here and I want to look nice! Besides... You never know what will happen." Risa stated throwing random articles of clothing back into her closet, not bothering to fold or hang up any of it.
"I can't believe you still like that... That pervert!" Riku yelled, anger overwhelming her at just the thought of his name.
"He's not a pervert! He's a gentlemen." Risa said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"I hope you guys are not talking about me."
Risa turned and shrieked, Riku justed looked at him glaring.
"Dark!" Risa ran up and hugged him almost knocking him over. Daisuke, who was still on the balcony couldn't help, but laugh. Dark turned and glared at him, Daisuke just grinned and walked inside.
Riku looked at Daisuke then to Dark, and vice versa.
"Daisuke... What are you doing with him?" Riku said and pointed at Dark.
"It's kinda hard to explain." Daisuke said and scratched the back of his head.
"Then start from the begining." Riku said, her voice showing that she was in a foul mood.
"I guess I should explain," Dark said as he pried Risa off of himself. "His family was kinda in an accident and I'm making sure he has a place to stay for the night."
"So how did you two meet?" Riku said not buying it.
"He was wondering around the park, by himself." Dark said easily coming up with a lie.
"Wait. Your family was in an accident! Are they okay?" Riku said dismissing Dark.
"Yeah, they'll be fine, but they won't be out of the hospital for a while... Riku, do you mind if we stay here. I can't stay at Satoshi's he's not there and I don't want to bother Takeshi..." Daisuke said, stopping before he could ramble on too much.
"Yeah, I guess so, but he sleeps on the couch. He's not staying anywhere near my room."
"He's not sleeping on the couch! Dark can sleep in my room." Risa said grabbing Dark's arm.
"Um... I think I'll stick with the couch. Sorry Ms. Risa, but I wouldn't want to get pounded by your sister." Dark said being suave so Risa wouldn't protest.
"Okay, Dark... But only because you agreed to it." Risa said trying to cling to his arm again.
Dark looked at her with wide-eyes and tried prying her off again, when she starting humming 'here comes the bride'. Riku couldn't help, but laugh at Dark's attempt to get away, Daisuke snickering behind his hand.
"That's not funny!" Dark said in between pants as he ran arround the room, Risa on his tail, love set on her mind.
After about 5 laps, one time around Risa's bed, and two around Riku and Daisuke; Dark shot out the door, leaving a trail of wind and Risa, who'd tripped and fell over a dress that she hadn't bothered to pick up. Daisuke was a little weary of helping Risa up, considering the position Dark was in, but he ended up helping her anyways, Dark probably hiding in some dark corner hoping that she doesn't find him.
I know... A filler chapter, but I wanted to get back into the habit of writing. I have no clue how I used to post chapters every other day... But anyways, I'll try and update all stories... Hopefully.
