Okay the last chapter was all fun and games, but now we're back to the present and Daisuke is still in the hospital... And as for Dark and Daisuke's relationship... Well, the only reason it went so fast was because Dark never turns down a kiss and Daisuke was drunk on sugar... Okay now, to the story!
Dark: But...
But what!
Dark: Never mind then! (Pouts.)
I'm in an alternate universe... Dark GAVE UP and POUTED... Oh my god! It's the end of the world!
Krad: It will be if you don't shut up!
Eeeep! (Runs.)
Chapter 7: The Present
Nothing mattered now, no grudges, not Dark's ego... It was just Daisuke.
Satoshi turned sharply to the left and flung the doorway to the stairs open.
You know those decisions that decide what's going to happen in your life... How it can so easily crash your world to pieces... All of those decisions flashed before me as I ran up those concrete stairs. I shouldn't of gave in... I should of-- What's the use... I've got to fix this. He never deserved this... He deserved his family and Riku... Not me and death... He NEVER deserved this... not ever!
Satoshi stopped on the second floor, only going up one flight. He turned to see police officers running down the stairs, only a few flights up.
"Go!" Satoshi snarled as he started running up the stairs.
"But... Commander?" Dark yelled, confused. Satoshi let it all slide... Dark was Dark and he'd be the one left. He is the only one left... The only one to Protect Daisuke.
"I could never have him Dark... He belongs with you." Satoshi stated as he stopped to look at Dark once more.
"Take care of him... I won't let Krad control my body anymore." Satoshi let out a genuine smile, something Dark never saw.
"Satoshi! No!" Dark screamed, but it was too late, he was already glowing... Too Late.
"Satoshi..." He whispered as he turned and opened the door to the second floor. "Thank you."
He looked at the sign in front of him, it pointing left for 140-200. He didn't even bother to look at the rest of the sign as he ran for Daisuke's room. Dark didn't even have to look for Daisuke's room as he saw the wooden door open and doctors running in and out of it. He quickly ran up and slipped into the room. Some how he wasn't noticed, for the moment at least. He watched in shock, his back against the wall, just to the left of the door. Daisuke was pale and sweat was running down his face and neck. He was taking gasps of breath, as if he couldn't get enough. He let his head fall to his right, too tired to even squint from the bright lights. If Daisuke hadn't been in pain he'd of looked at Dark in shock, but instead he slowly held out his right hand to Dark. It was a plea, a plea for help.
"Daisuke... Hold on. I'm going to fix this." Dark turned his head down just before he spoke it and look up at Daisuke with a serious and determined look, though his eyes showed sadness and unshed tears stared to break through.
Daisuke, let his arm drop and gave a meak nod. Dark didn't wait, he ran out the door startling a registered nurse.
'Wiz!' Dark thought as he ran to the left, back toward the stairs. 'To me!'
He stopped short at the end of the hall. It exended to the right to make a small waiting room. He grabbed one of the nearest chairs, all wood except for the cloth that was stappled onto it to try and make it seem inviting. He gripped the handles and brought it forward, it colliding with the glass. It only made a small crack. Just as he was about to try again, Wiz appeared behind him in Daisuke's 14 year old form.
Wiz nodded and instantly turned into Dark's wings... Wiz at least letting him manifest his magic for a small amount of time. He let the energy flood to his palm, it turning black and slowly swirling into a ball. Without even looking he hurdled it though the window, shadering it. Dark let out an instinctive smirk and flew out the window, barely avoiding the shards of glass the still clung to the window frame.
It wasn't long before he was back to his apartment. He took one look at the bedroom and frowned. Turning on his heel he went into the diningroom/kitchen, where the computer resided. It was basically the kitchen to the left, the snackbar, in the kitchen, a make shift dining room table; and the diningroom table shoved against the right wall and used as a computer desk.
He sighed and settled himself into the office chair, just in front of the computer. He didn't have much time. An hour to work, thirty (minutes) to plan, and ten (minutes) to carry the plan out. He clicked the computer on, it automatically starting up the internet thanks to some sources from an old computer company.
He clicked on his user and typed in his password, the whole time not even looking at the keyboard. He'd done this too many times. He laughed when he remembered the time that he tried to see what was on Daisuke's name. Daisuke, however, gave him the biggest clue by saying 'something that you'd never expect'. And out of pure stupidity and a failed attempt to be funny, he typed in 'creepy boy' just to see it upload Daisuke's destop... He said it was something he'd never expect, and he'd been right, it wasn't.
The computer had uploaded by now and he shook his head finding that he was just wasting time. Quickly, he put his hand on the black mouse and double clicked on the internet icon. The internet immediately loaded up google. Who knew that an american search engine could be so useful. He typed so fast and hit enter so hard that he almost broke the keyboard. 'I really need to calm down.' He thought as the engine immediately came up. He clicked on images, it immediately showing pictures. He smirked after the second page. He'd found what he was looking for. He copied the address to the place that the object was being held at, on his palm; With a blue ink pen.
"Wiz... Let's go!"
Wiz immediately kyuu-ed and jumped onto Dark's shoulder. Dark, didn't take the time to go out the door, he instead opened the window and jumped out, taking flight.
'Please let Daisuke be alright.' Dark thought taking off to his destination.
The doctors rushed through, quickly taking Daisuke straight to surgery.
"We don't have much time..."
"The internal bleeding won't stop..."
Dark gritted his teeth out of nervousness as he landed on the home of a millionaire. He didn't waste time in his usual tricks, hell he didn't even have his tools. He took a rock and busted the sun roof. The alarm immediately going off. Dark ignored it as he reached into the hole, sharp glass cutting at his arm as he pulled the latch open and jumped down, Wiz helping him to land easily. Dark felt a ping of uneasiness as a spot light turned on, blinding him.
"I knew you would come for it... Too bad Satoshi's exausted his power, now there's no one here to save you."
Dark growled, squinting and looking directly at the spot light. "Krad..."
The spot light turned off and the room lit up showing that he was in a ball room, the alarm's echoing finally ending.
Krad laughed as he jumped down from the balcony below. "Let's Dance."
Dark laughed right back. "You've gotten a better sense of humor I see."
"And you've gotten worse as a thief." Krad smirked as Dark narrowed his eyes, remembering that he had something to do... He had to fix everything.
Dark lunged at him, Krad immediately dodging Dark's attack. Dark smirked and kept going running for the door. Krad growled seeing that he'd been tricked.
"Come back here Dark...! Come back here and fight me!"
And the chase had begun.
