The Battle Of Love

Chapter 4: Engaged? Broken Vows

Well, the beginning of a new chapter and I need to find out what will happen to Layla! Has she really beheaded herself? Let's find out in this new chapter.

"Noooooooooooo!" yelled Daisuke as Layla brought down the katana.

There was a loud smack and a thunk as sword connected with wood. Daisuke opened his eyes (he had closed his eyes) and gasped in astonishment. Dark had grabbed Layla's hand and directed her katana onto the side of the wood.

"Don't do sht like that. Daisuke ain't up for all that blood and gore stuff, kay?" he said to her.

"I'm sorry," mumbles Layla to Daisuke and the gang.

"And you were just blabbering on about how you loved him. Yet you don't expect him to love you back if you have no head and are buried 6 feet under the ground, do you?" he asks her.

"No, I'm sorry. It's just I swore to my family I would marry the man I love and if I don't marry Daisuke that means I would have lied to my parents which means I would have brought disgrace and dishonour and misfortune on my family. And I don't want that to happen because I would know it was all my fault and-" she began.

"STOP! You do go on don't you? Jeez… you will not bring mishonour and crap on your family okay? Just you don't marry Daisuke here. I mean many girls don't love him and they've lived so far. Besides, what are you… like twelve or somethink." yelled Dark interrupting Layla.

"Calm down Dark, its okay." Said Daisuke to Dark.

"No its not. This girl just comes along blithering on about engagements and sepuku. I just want us to be happy without the hassle of a twelve-year-old idiot," said Dark angrily.

Then Dark storms off into the park leaving puzzled twins and a confused Daisuke behind.

"Now look what you've done. You are an evil stupid stupid ignorant stupid little tatty-" Daisuke began to say but then broke down into tears.

"Daisuke, what's wrong. Is it something I did? What did I do wrong? Tell me so I can make it right." cried Layla also bursting into tears

"I never left you. That girl I was with forced me to leave you. She said if I didn't she would hurt you and I was afraid of you getting hurt so I played along with her and told you I was with someone else. The expression on your face that day nearly broke my heart. I'm sorry for all that you have suffered and now you know the truth you can hear the whole story," Daisuke said heavily, and began to tell his tale.

Begin Flashback

SD Daisuke is strolling in a park. He is on his way to his house to meet Layla. There is a girl on the swing and Daisuke doesn't notice her until she falls off the swing right in front of him.

Because he has been brought up to be respectable and respectful he helps the girl up and asks her if she's okay. He wipes her tears away with his handkerchief and gets up to leave when the girl grabs his hand.

SD Girl Um…. Will you be my boyfriend?

SD Daisuke Huh… what?

SD Girl Will you be my boyfriend? You were kind to me so I like you.

SD Daisuke I'm sorry but I am kinda engaged already to a really pretty and nice girl whom I happen to like very much.

He says this in a really strong voice full of emotion but he is not embarrassed.

SD Girl What! Well… who is this lucky girl then?

SD Daisuke (completely ignorant of the danger) oh. Her name is Layla Tensai. I'm off to meet her now. Well bye.

He then walks off and leaves girl.

He arrives home before Layla and is sitting on the swing when he hears a girls voice asking for him and he thinks it's Layla and runs to greet her when he sees the girl from the park.

FB Daisuke's mother Daisuke… your friend Sky is hear.

SD Sky Hello Daisuke. Shall we go into the garden?

She takes Daisuke's arm and marches him into the garden.

SD Sky If you do not tell that other girl to get lost I will do something to her so horrible you wont be able to believe it. Understand? Good… when she comes I shall be picking flowers and sitting on the swing listening to every word you say so don't try to warn her.

She then goes about the garden making a daisy chain.

SD Daisuke gasp

The is another doorbell ring and another girl's voice and then SD Layla appears around the corner in her blue flower kimono. She is smiling until she sees the other girl in the back of the garden and she looks confused.

SD Daisuke Go away Layla… I don't want you! I'm too old for you. I have found someone better.

SD Sky who is that Daisuke darling. Is she one of your friends?

SD Daisuke she was just leaving.

SD Layla WHY? sob. And then she runs off.

End flashback

"And that's how it happened," concluded Daisuke.

"You mean you still loved me when you sent me away?" she asked him.

"Exactly, but I thought you would've never forgiven me and I decided to move on but I have never forgotten you and then all of a sudden you come back and try to kill me and I feel like the most horrible person on earth," he says looking straight at her.

"I still love you!" she cries and jumps on him giving a soft kiss.

"And I still love you," he replies kissing her again.

Risa feels her body temperature rising. How dare that girl who had almost kill her kiss Daisuke? Daisuke was hers and hers alone. She was going to get Layla if it was the last thing she did.

After all, she wasn't nicknamed Sky for nothing.

And that concludes my longest but most surprising chapter yet. Why was Dark angry? Daisuke and Layla still love each other? And what is this lark about Risa's nickname being Sky? All (no wait) some shall be revealed in the next chapter of The Battle of Love.

Fallen

p.s. Do I detect a little bit of yaoi between Daisuke and Dark. Dunno whether I will do that but we'll see. Can't give a way a great ending. Chow. .
