Hey yo! Welcome! It's me, Kenbu, again!
This time with a new chapter!
I am sorry for everybody who was
disappointed with my previous chapter, because I am very, very
disappointed .
Thank you for all those rather positive
reviews ) I expected none.
I fully agree with you Dru, I need a
beta-reader. But, I don't know where I have to look and I don't
really have time searching, because school is overwhelming ,
So I'll do it different.
If anybody has nothing to do, is bored,
is good at English (well to be better than me in this language isn't
that difficult lol...) or simply wants to help me (T.T) please mail
me.
If you help me, this chapter will be the last one with
mistakes! Wow, what a temptation . ''
If I find no
one...(sigh) I will have to torture my English teacher. But I know
now that she will rather strangle me than correct my story (sighs
again).
Here some warnings (I just want to warn you: I am not
good at writing warnings. I have an odd habit to let people
experience everything at their own risk. But since everybody does
warnings, I shall do it as well!)
Warnings for the previous
chapter (I forgot about that)...um...maybe boredom?
(cries)
Warnings for this chapter:...let's say
angst...
That's all for now, enjoy!
Chapter Two: Day One or A normal school day, huh? - Part I
Dark was sitting on the windowsill, his transparent body leaning against the wall. His purple eyes didn't leave Daisuke's thin body, as if he was expecting Daisuke would vanish when he looked away.
Daisuke lay in his bed and was resting.
Dark watched the boy's chest rise and fall, the only thing, that showed he was still alive.
The angel was lost in thoughts. He remembered as he had yelled for Emiko to come and see after Daisuke.
He remembered as he had dragged his own body, crashing into invisible walls, which where placed in the non lit house.
After Wiz had brought Dark back to the Niwa's safely, he had searched through the whole house, only to find it completely empty and dark. He remembered his beautiful voice full of panic and fury.
He had commanded Wiz, who had changed into Dark's double, to pull out the shards out of Daisuke's body, to clean and bandage the wounds. It was being difficult, because due to an outage they hadn't got any light. At that time, Dark remembered seeing the neighbour's windows lit.
After this was done, the still unconscious boy was brought to bed.
Dark didn't wonder why the Niwas had left the house all of a sudden. He didn't wonder either, what type of information Krad was trying to get out of him and Daisuke. The thief was too tired to keep wondering. The latest incidents were pulling on his nerves and he was sick of worrying. For one moment, he swore, he wanted to rest and simply look at Daisuke's peaceful and angelic face.
Dark stood up and wandered to the sleeping form of Daisuke. Empty amethyst eyes looked down at the boy with those unique female features. The thief bent over Daisuke and moved his hand unconsciously to the boy's face. Slowly. Without any hesitation.
He felt the urge to touch his petite face. His wonderful pale skin.
Dark felt the boy's warm breath on his palm, tickling his skin. He smiled warmly. His heart filled with glee.
However, the happy moment was destroyed. As soon as Dark's hand reached Daisuke's face, the tips of his fingers went through the solid body of Daisuke, as if it wasn't actually there.
Dark's eyes widened in slow motion. He abruptly pulled his hand back. Pulled it close to his chest, where his other hand was holding it protectively.
Dark was torn back into reality. It wasn't Daisuke who wasn't existing, it was him! As long as Dark hasn't got his own body, he would never be able to touch his host. Never.
His half-opened eyes looked down at Daisuke sorrowfully. Then, after Dark couldn't handle his tearing pain in his heart any longer, he slowly backed away with closed eyes and disappeared into thin air.
Daisuke, however, didn't have any happy time at all.
He found himself standing in front
the black mirror from his previous dream. The mirror radiated a cold
aura, making his breathe arise in the form of transparent smoke in
front of him.
Thick darkness was embracing his short, but slender
body. His petite palms where resting on the icy surface of the
mirror. He looked into it, his face only a few inches away from the
object.
As he stared into the black glass, he blinked with his
half-opened ruby eyes. He would have expected his reflection facing
him. However, before him stood a tall man, being in the same position
as Daisuke, looking straight into the boy's eyes.
Piercing into
his soul.
The red haired boy, couldn't move a muscle. He was
mesmerised by the man's dark purple eyes.
The man simply looked at
him. Waiting. Longing.
"Dark...", the boy whispered.
Dark smiled warmly, beaming at him.
But his smile faded almost as
quickly as it came. His eyes where suddenly filled with pure
sorrow.
"Daisuke, I will...I...I'll promise to..." His
voice was in grief and pain, as he stuttered his confusing
words.
"Dark...please..."
"He will find
you!...He will rip you in pieces...and I can't do anything but
watch..."
"Who, Dark? Who?"
Dark looked as if he
wanted to answer, but as his mouth opened he closed it
again.
Suddenly, he hold his breath and listened attentively. Fear
was read in his eyes and his next words where spoken very quietly and
were drowned in panic: "He is coming...Please,
Daisuke...Go!"
"But...Dark!"
"No buts,
Daisuke! Leave! He will..." All of a sudden he broke off. Dark
moaned, his beautiful purple eyes closed. His body shaking
lightly.
It all stopped, after at least one minute. Daisuke
watched as his counterpart's forehead leaned against his side of the
mirror, looking rather defeated.
"Dark?"
Suddenly,
Dark's body was shaking. This time not because of the same reason as
before, but because of something else.
Laughing. Dark was laughing
like mad.
Daisuke just wanted to cry out Dark's name, but was
interrupted by a movement of supernatural speed.
Daisuke choked.
He realized a hand holding his neck firmly.
"What...?"he
coughed out.
Dark's eyes shot open. Daisuke gasped. Piercing amber
eyes looked at him dangerously. A smirk placed on his mouth.
The
man's low hissing voice made Daisuke's body shiver:
"Don't
you dare to stand in my way, mortal."
Then, he moved forward,
Slipping through the mirror with half of his body and placed a
bruising kiss on Daisuke's lips.
Daisuke's eyes widened and stared
at the amber ones in horror.
The man pulled away from the young
boy. Moving his hand from Daisuke's neck to his cheek, caressing it.
Daisuke shivered even more.
"You are mine, boy."
With
that, the man pulled away from Daisuke and vanished back into the
mirror roaring with insane laughter.
Daisuke's eyes shot
open, as his alarm clock went off. He turned it off and sat upright
on his bed, a hand covering his right half of his face. His other
hand moved slowly to his lips.
Those nightmares were so
confusing... What meanings did they have? Daisuke only knew:
He
didn't understand anything.
"Dark...", he whispered
alike in his dream. He didn't get any response. Puzzled he slowly got
up, picked his school uniform and went to the bathroom. Searching for
Dark in his mind, with no success.
He went downstairs. No Emiko.
No Daichii. No Wiz. No anybody.
He looked around in hope for a
note. But none was there. He yelled for his family and Dark. No
response.
Daisuke let himself fall into the chair with a sigh. His
eyes closed, trying to calm himself. He felt alone. And he hated this
type of feeling. It was like imprisoned in a burning cage with a
roaring silent around it.
The boy opened his eyes again and stared
blankly ahead of him.
"Daisuke", a sleepy voice said
inside of Daisuke's head. Daisuke instantly awoke from his
trance.
"Dark! Where were you!"
"Stop, freakin'
yellin'...duh...", Dark said annoyed and appeared gliding next
to Daisuke rubbing his head. "I was here for the whole time!
Sleeping if I am allowed!"
Daisuke simply sighed in
relief.
"You know that if I don't get enough sleep I won't be
that handsome as I am now!", Dark added angrily after stopping
to rub his head.
Daisuke rolled with his eyes. "For god
heaven's sake, Dark! You're behaving like a girl!"
Dark
pouted. Then he said loudly in a disbelieving tone and putting both
hands onto his hips: "Me, behaving like a girl?"
He
pouted even more, pointing at himself and bending down to the sitting
Daisuke saying: "Imagine me as a girl. That doesn't fit at all,
does it?"
Daisuke looked up at Dark. He tilted his head
slightly and then-
-he laughed.
Dark looked at him in
surprise. Normally, Dark would have yelled at Daisuke for laughing at
him. But this was different.
Dark hadn't seen the boy laugh for a
long time. And it was relieving and wonderful to see him in that
state.
The thief smiled and felt his heart beat faster. When
Daisuke was laughing, the whole surrounding world seemed to drown in
his light. The soft sound rang in his ears. Again, Dark felt the urge
to touch him.
Daisuke stopped laughing and smiled at Dark saying:
"Yeah, it definitely doesn't suit you!" He sticked out his
tongue.
Dark frowned and looked away. But then, he looked back at
Daisuke again, this time smirking.
"What?", Daisuke
asked his counterpart. He searched what Dark was looking at
previously and nearly fell off his chair when he found out what it
was. The clock. And it wasn't showing a convenient message.
"Ack!",
made Daisuke. "I am going to be late for school! Why didn't you
tell me, Dark?" He grabbed his schoolbag and tried to ignore the
even more smirking Dark.
As he reached the door,however, he
suddenly turned back. His eyes looked at the place before him
sadly.
"I thought you wanted to go to school?", Dark
asked not bothering to appear next to Daisuke.
Daisuke sighed,
still looking at the corridor. He remained silent.
As Dark thought
the boy wasn't going to answer, Daisuke asked quietly back: "Where
are they?"
For one brief moment Dark wasn't sure what or who
he meant. But then it occurred to him. He was talking about his
family.
"I don't know." the thief stated simply but
true. Then he added: "Don't worry. You know them, they can take
care of themselves. They will soon be back."
Daisuke wasn't
looking very convinced but still he nodded curtly and ran off to
school, without saying anything more to Dark.
"...then
you need to add x to get it on the other side..."
A
tall and well-rounded man being bold and wearing glasses, stood in
front of the class facing the blackboard. His chalk creaked on the
board as he wrote an example of a complicate equation and the way how
to solve it. His name was Mr Kaminou. 1)
The whole school
both feared and loved him.
He had his own way of teaching, making
him nearly unpredictable of what he is able to do next. When children
weren't paying attention he threw them out of his classes and made
them do loads of extra homework.
Mr Kaminou usually threw not only
threats but bits of chalks at students, but didn't really mean it.
Those who feared him, found his jokes terrible. Those who loved him,
laughed loudly because he was talking sheer nonsense at some
times.
The teacher didn't notice a rather short boy with red hair
sneaking through the door into the classroom. The whole class woke up
instantly as they saw a panting Daisuke going on the tips of his
toes, trying not to make any sound.
Hiwatari and Riku shook their
heads, but still smiling. Risa looked at him confusedly. Keiji Saga
stared at him drooling and thinking:
"How cuuuuute! Dai-chan
is sneaking into the classroom! Ah and he's...oh kami! He is
panting! Kyaaaa /Nosebleed/"
The rest of the class were
holding their breaths.
However, before Daisuke could reach his
seat, Mr Kaminou turned to face the class and was barking: "And
this was it! Tell me, class! How is it possible to get the test that
wrong! Nearly the half of the class has failed! What's wrong with
all of you!"
Then he saw Daisuke standing near his seat, as
still as a stone.
For some he looked like doing Yoga. In reality,
Daisuke had just suffered a cardiac arrest.
"Oi, where do you
come from, Niwa? Have you at last noticed that lesson has started
already?"
"I overslept, sir. I am very sorry."
"Oh,
you overslept." Daisuke nodded and smiled sheepishly. Mr Kaminou
cocked an eyebrow.
"I'd rather think that you wanted to see
your dreadful test!"
"Dreadful, sir?"
"Oh
yes! 27 points out of 48! This isn't really..." He searched for
the right words. "...adorable." He threw the test at
Daisuke, who had to walk to the front to take it.
"Now,
sit!", he barked at the boy.
Daisuke flinched and nearly
shouted at Dark loudly, because the thief was laughing his arse off.
But not wanting to provoke his luck with Mr Kaminou, who glared at
him, Daisuke quickly sat down and took out his paraphernalia for
mathematics.
Daisuke still sat in class and was looking
forward to the end of it. His head rested on his hand. He desperately
coerced his half-opened eyes not to close, due to the lack of
sleep.
Lack of sleep?, he thought.I did get enough of
sleep...why then...am I so...tired?
His vision blurred and he
finally closed his eyes.
Tick, tack, tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick, tack, tick, tack, tick, tack, tick, tack went
all the clocks in the classroom loudly.
Daisuke felt dizzy. Why
could he hear all the clocks so well?
Tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick, tack, tick, tack.
"...Daa...iii...suu...kee...",
sung a husky voice softly.
Daisuke opened his eyes slowly,
struggling not to fall asleep.
Tick, tack, tick, tack, tick,
tack, tick, tack, tick, tack.
"...Daa...iii...suu...kee...",
sung the very same voice again.
The boy blinked. It wasn't Dark's
voice. That was for sure. It was more deeper and...
Daisuke nearly
gasped as he stared into a pair of dangerous glittering amber
eyes.
Behind Mr Kaminou stood the man from his
dreams!
"...My...Daa...iii...suu...kee...", the man
purred as his eyes met Daisuke's. Nobody seemed to both see or hear
him, apart from Daisuke himself.
Tick, tack, tick, tack, tick,
tack, tick, tack, tick, tack.
"N...no...", Daisuke
shook his head in slow motion. Widened ruby eyes staring at the man
in horror.
The man, who looked nearly the same as Dark with a few
differences, stretched out his arms to his sides. His palms were wide
opened. Very slowly a malicious grin formed on his lips, as he went
step by step to come nearer to Daisuke.
His enormous black wings,
of the size of half of the class each, he was dragging behind
him.
Tick, tack, tick, tack, tick, tack, tick, tack, tick,
ta-
Suddenly, the clocks stopped ticking. Or at least Daisuke
couldn't hear them anymore. Everything was quiet. Nothing, not even
the students made a sound. Everybody was as still as a stone.
The
man slowly made his way forward. His Wings knocked everyone and
everything down.
Daisuke who sat in the back, had luck. Well, for
a while.
In his mind he was screaming for Dark. But he didn't get
any response. His inside was as silent as everything around him.
With every step the man made, the wider was his grin. Quietly he
began to whisper in a slow humming tune:
"One broken
wing..."
Daisuke's eyes widened even more as he heard
this.
"...two broken wings..." The man came
nearer...
"...three broken wings..." And
nearer...
"...four broken wings..."...and
nearer...
"...five broken wings..."...and
nearer...
"...six broken wings..."...nearer...
Daisuke
couldn't hold this any longer. The words were piercing through his
soul like shot arrows.
"...seven bro-"
"STOP!"
He slammed his hands on his school desk hardly and jumped from his
chair. His voice echoed through the classroom.
He had his eyes
shut tightly for he was expecting the man to jump and kill him at
once. But as he stood there, with closed eyes, the predicted action
never came. And he swore he suddenly could hear soft noises around
him.
Daisuke blinked as he saw that everything and everybody was
back to normal, staring at him oddly. The chairs and desks were in
their normal position and looking like nothing has ever happened.
What had that been all about?
"What is it, Niwa?" Mr
Kaminou's cold voice made him go come back to reality. He suddenly
felt very sick.
"Um...Sir...May I...go to the bathroom,
please?"
Mr Kaminou stared at him blankly. Normally he would
comment such a question very unfriendly, but letting the boy go
anyway. But seeing Daisuke's pale face and shaking body, urged him
simply saying: "Yes, you may."
Daisuke nearly ran,
rather insecurely on his feet, out of the classroom, feeling the eyes
of his classmates piercing into his back.
After leaving the room,
he didn't slow down, but ran as if the world's demons were after
him.
"Daisuke?" Dark asked worriedly appearing next to
the boy.
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Daisuke screamed at
him.
"Wha-" Dark yelled back in confusement. He stared
at his panicking host.
"...seven broken wings..."
the husky voice sung and again Daisuke noticed he couldn't hear any
other noises apart from his footsteps, Dark and-
Daisuke looked
over his shoulder and his eyes widened in sheer horror.
The winged
man was actually following him!
Dark, who had difficulty keeping
up the boy's pace, followed his look and cocked an eyebrow. There was
nobody there!
He looked back at the now even faster running
boy.
"Daisuke! Why are you running!", he yelled. Dark
inwardly wondered grimly how a short boy like Daisuke could run that
damn fast.
"Go away! Why are you chasing me? I HAVEN'T DONE
ANYTHING TO YOU!", Daisuke shrieked not answering Dark's
question.
"...eight broken wings..."The man
laughed evilly. His voice rang in Daisuke's ears.
"...nine
broken wings..."
"DAISUKE!", Dark yelled
suddenly panicking. "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE
HEADING!"
"...ten broken wings..."
Only
approximately 10 meters away from Daisuke there was a window. And it
rapidly came nearer. But Daisuke didn't show any attempts to ran into
another direction. To tell the truth, he was fully aware of
it.
"...eleven broken wings..."
"DAISUKE!",
Dark yelled again. Daisuke looked at him and the thief gasped.
Tears
streamed freely down the boy's pale cheeks. He looked defeated and
ill. His eyes looked pleading and longing at Dark.
"I can't
stop..." he sobbed. Dark's heart was torn apart as he saw
Daisuke in this state. "Help me..."
"Daisuke...what..."
"HELP
ME, DARK!" the boy begged. "HELP ME!DAAAAARK!"
"...twelve
broken wings..."
"DAISUKE! NO! STOP!" Dark
yelled and reached out his hand for Daisuke.
But it was too late.
Daisuke wrapped his arms around his face protectively and jumped into
the window and-
-crashed through it.
Glass shards danced around
his slender body like flying knives. Everything seemed to go in slow
motion.
Daisuke exhaled hot air slowly, as his arms stretched
forward even slower as he was softly gliding in the air.
Wind
stroke his face and his hair floated behind him.
His eyes looked
down at the light-years away ground, blankly. Then he smiled
warmly.
"Dark..." Daisuke whispered softly. "I am
sorry for everything."
After that his body was pulled down,
head first. The ground came rapidly nearer.
But Daisuke was
feeling relaxed. If that was what death felt like- he didn't mind,
actually.
Dark screamed his name, before the boy was embraced with
darkness and knew no more.
1) I took my own Maths teacher and translated his name into Japanese. I am sure that this name doesn't make sense, for it should means "God knows" in English and in the original language, German, he is called "GottweiĆ". But anyway, I have to say that he is an awesome teacher and I took him into the story, because I think that I'll might use him a bit more often in the plot.
He is nearly the same as I described him in the story (apart from throwing chalks. I took that from another cool teacher XD) and I think that I have copied him well. Oh, I forgot. (smirks) I don't own Mr Kaminou! All rights reserved! (hr...hr...) I am acting silly-.- Oh well, who cares! (grins)
I am sorry if that chapter was a bit
confusing! I will make sure to clear everything! I'll promise!
If
you have any questions feel free to ask! I will try and answer right
here.
All in all, thank you for the previous reviews and please
review this time as well. Thank you for reading!
