Kari lay her head against Daisuke's hair, "Hnn, you smell just like him…"
"What?" Daisuke asked, when no response came he realized that she had fallen asleep. He smiled to himself, "She seems so peaceful right now; nothing like the girl who cut open her wrist in the bathroom earlier."
They soon reached the house where Daisuke opened the door without too much difficulty despite the fact that Kari was still on his back. He kicked the door closed and called, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, To-to! I'm home!" There was no reply, "Huh, they must have gone out, they're not expecting me for another few hours…" he reasoned as he carried Kari up the stairs to her room that she shared with To-to. Daisuke gently placed her on the bed, laying her head against the pillow so that her long black hair was spread out under her.
"You shouldn't let her sleep in her school uniform like that," Dark said from the back of his head, "It'll get wrinkled."
"Well what do you expect me to do?" The redhead asked, irritated.
"Change her, of course," laughed Dark with mischief in his voice.
"What!" A deep red blush was creeping up his face, matching his hair perfectly.
"Come now, we won't remove any of her undergarments," reasoned Dark, "Just her outer clothing. Well, I suppose we could remove her undergarments if that's what you want…"
Daisuke shook his head, blushing furiously, "N-no, w-we can't…" he trailed off as some terribly inappropriate images flashed through his mind.
Dark was then the person standing in the room, "Ha!" He laughed, "I knew that would get you to transform! I can't blame you for thinking about something like that, they're perfectly natural thoughts and she is extremely beautiful…"
"DARK!" Daisuke yelled, "That was a nasty thing to do!"
The purple-haired teen ignored his counterpart and quietly walked over to the young girl who still lay asleep on her bed, "But you agree with me don't you? She is beautiful." Dark climbed up on the bed so that he was straddling Kari's middle.
"Dark, what the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Relax, I just want to show you the truth."
"What!"
"The story she told you before, it was only half true. She left out some pretty important details that you should know," with that he pressed his lips against hers.
Kari flinched under him as soon as their lips touched and Dark and Daisuke were transported to a village in ancient Japan. "Wha-what just happened?" Daisuke asked, amazed. He turned to see Dark standing next to him, "Wait, why aren't we in the same body?"
Dark shrugged, "Beats me, but we're inside Kari's memories; I used magic to get us here. This is where the truth lies."
Daisuke saw Kari pulling water from a well, "Kari!" he yelled happily. She didn't respond; it was as if he wasn't even there. "What's with her? Didn't she hear me? Kari, hey, Kari!"
"Don't bother, Daisuke, she can't hear you. We don't exist here."
He turned back to look at her again, she seemed different. A smile was across her face even as she did the degrading labor of drawing water. He glanced at her bare arm and noticed that she had no scars.
Dark followed his gaze, "This is before she was hurt."
"Kari-chan!" Someone called from behind them, Kari's face lit up as soon as she heard the voice. Dark and Daisuke looked toward where the call came from and saw a man with chestnut brown hair that stood up in all different directions. He could have been an older version of Daisuke if it weren't for the hair color.
"Roku-kun!" Kari squealed and ran to him, passing straight through Dark and Daisuke's bodies. The man, Roku, picked her up by the waist and spun her around in the air, "No, no!" She shouted, obviously enjoying every moment of the ride, "Roku-kun, put me down!"
He laughed and gently placed her on the ground, Daisuke could clearly see her face and her cheeks were red from blushing. "Kari-san," A guard at the mansion called, "the master wishes to speak with you immediately!"
"Hai," Kari yelled, still standing next to Roku, "I'll be right there!" She turned to look at Roku, "Gomen nasai, I have to go," she quickly stood up on her tip-toes and brushed her lips against his cheek. Her face became bright red as she ran toward the mansion and Roku just stood in the same place, in shock.
"S-she loves him," Daisuke said in disbelief.
"Yeah," replied Dark, "come on, we have to follow her." They rushed into the mansion in pursuit of the raven-haired beauty.
They eventually reached a courtyard where Kari was standing next to a man who couldn't have been much older than seventeen. "I had this made for you," the man whispered, gesturing to a statue that stood in the middle of the garden. It was an amazing, intricately carved figure of an angel brandishing two swords, "It's supposed to protect you."
Kari's face turned even more red, "I, um, t-thank you very much, that is…but," she paused, "what about your wife, Hikari-sama? Also, my fiancée wouldn't like this…"
"I was forced into an arranged marriage, it's you I love," Hikari whispered, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her in close.
"Oh my god," Daisuke yelled, "He's going to do it here! Now!"
"I-I'm sorry, Hikari-sama…"
"Don't address me so formally."
"I-I'm sorry, Hikari-sama, but you are the lord of this town and I am merely a maid in your house. You have a wife and a soon-to-be-born child, and I have a fiancée," she pulled away from him. "Please forgive me for being unable to accept that beautiful statue, and thank you very much for the thought." She bowed deeply, not rising until he nodded his head.
"Of course, forgive me for putting you in such an awkward position," he said.
"N-no, it was no problem," she mumbled, quickly turning and rushing out of the courtyard her long, black hair flowing behind her.
The lord looked at the statue of the angel, "Fine, I'll just have to take her by force." With that, he walked right past an emotionless Dark and shocked Daisuke.
"We have to stop him," Daisuke yelled, trying to follow him until Dark grabbed his shoulder.
"I wish we could but these are her memories, we can't change them," Dark explained, "We don't exist here, remember?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night had fallen and Daisuke and Dark had followed Kari around the entire day. She seemed not at all shaken up by what had happened earlier and did not mention it when she spoke to her fiancée, Roku, later that day. Everything was going well until she was summoned to the lord's chambers that evening.
"No, Kari!" Daisuke was screaming in her ear the entire way to his room, "Don't go in there, he's going to hurt you!" She never heard a word of what he said; instead she just stepped into the master chambers of the mansion.
"You called for me, sir?" she asked calmly, bowing deeply.
"Yes, I did," he replied. "You seem well."
"Yes, milord, I'm doing very well thank you for noticing," she said, slowly rising from the bow to look at him.
His hand suddenly shot out and grabbed her wrist, "S-sir?" she asked in horror as he pulled her toward him and pushed his lips against hers. Daisuke could see her trying to get away but the Hikari lord was far too strong and he managed to force her onto the bed. He sat on top of her, straddling her waist, holding her wrists so that she couldn't fight, "P-please, Hikari-sama…no…"
The man completely ignored her and pushed his lips against hers again, Daisuke could see tears streaming down her face as she tried and failed to get away, "I-isn't there anything we can do?" he asked Dark.
Dark shook his head and turned away, not wanting to watch what happened. Daisuke looked in horror as the man began to undo her kimono. Kari couldn't say a thing because his tongue was still exploring the inside of her mouth, crying when his hands rubbed all over her body. He pulled away from the lung-draining kiss and she took a deep breath, almost beginning to scream when he put a finger to her lips. "Think about this carefully," He whispered, "I don't mind anyone walking in on us but imagine how shameful it would be for you. We don't want that, now, do we?"
Her body trembled with silent sobs as she shook her head. "What a good girl," he said, removing his clothes.
"No, Kari!" Daisuke screamed, "No, don't be a 'good girl' shout, scream, do something!" He turned away with tears in his eyes as the true horror began.
Tears fell down her face, and she bit her lip in pain, "P-please," she moaned, "please stop. Y-you're hurting me…"
"How can you just stand there and not do anything!" Daisuke yelled accusingly at Dark, "Why aren't you trying to help!" For the first time in a while, he took a good look at Dark and saw that he was crying. His purple eyes were overflowing with water as he watched Kari writhe in pain under the lord of the town.
"Let's go outside," he mumbled as he walked straight through the sliding paper door. Daisuke followed him, unable to stand being in that room any longer.
