Chapter 4: Darkness falls
SLAM!
A door was shut behind his back. The blue haired teen put his back to the door, panting heavily. His hand finding the light switch, flicking it into ON mode.
"W…Why did I DO that?"
Satoshi thought back from when he kissed Daisuke. He remembered sprinting home when he was sure Daisuke was out of his sight.
"I can't let that happen again…what came over me?" He kneeled down to the ground with teary eyes. "He's obviously straight, and he likes that Harada girl…I have no chance…"
Suddenly, Satoshi felt the temperature slowly drop, and the lights flicker, eventually fading completely. He felt a sharp pain in the back of his mind as he noticed a...white feather on the ground
"Krad..."
Feathers began to fly from thin air. They were all over the place. A couple feathers hit his left shoulder with quite some force, causing him to stumble and grab his bleeding arm in agony. When all the feathers fell to the ground, Krad appeared in the distance.
"What are you doing here Krad! I thought you were sealed away!" Satoshi's voice carried sadness and shock.
"Calm down, Satoshi-sama…I've finally found you, don't look so…glum." He chucked as he walked towards Satoshi. "You're emotions are very powerful to have been able to release me…" His voice trailed away. He reappeared behind Satoshi, wrapping his arms around the cerulean-eyed boy. "You can never escape from me…I am you're curse." Krad gracefully mobbed in front of Satoshi, taking his hands into his own.
"Let me go Krad! Leave me in peace!" Satoshi yelled as he struggled in Krad's grasp. His efforts were no use, Krad moved forward, and their bodies merged as one once again.
Krad grinned "Satoshi-sama, I've missed you...we're now as one…just like old times."
"This can't be happening! It must be a dream! Damn you Daisuke! If I didn't feel for you this way, Krad would have never come out in the first place!" Satoshi sobbed yet didn't cry. "If it wasn't for you, I would have been dead, I-I wouldn't be so restless…"
MEANWHILE
"Dai-Chan! You're late! Where have you BEEN!" Emiko said with a raised finger.
Daisuke looked down feeling guilty, fighting a blush. He couldn't possibly tell his mom what happened; he knew that she'd freak out. "I...I'm sorry."
"Dark's back, isn't he?" She asked.
Daisuke looked up quickly, waving his arms. "H-how did you know?"
Emiko winked. "I heard you talking to Dark last night, you were noisy! Was he bothering you about Riku? You haven't talked to her in a while." She had no idea about what was actually going on, but she knew that something was up.
"Era…um, yeah…something like that…but Mom, why is he back?"
"I don't know, why don't you ask him?"
"Sure...uhm…I have homework." He quickly replied as he ran up to his room.
"He's been acting strange lately..."
"Must be a phase..." Kosuke replied.
"Something's up..." Daiki commented.

"You got kissed by creepy boy, you got kissed by creepy boy, you got kissed by creepy boy!" Dark taunted.
"DARK! I KNOW THAT!" Daisuke held his head in aggravation. He was too tired to argue with Dark.
Dark grinned. "You liked it didn't you?"
"Well I...WHAT! No Dark! I do not like being kissed by other boys!" He snapped. "...It's weird...I didn't know that he felt that way..."
"Wow! You are stupid! It was so obvious! I've been trying to tell you! And it's even more obvious that you feel the same way! Don't deny it, I can hear your thoughts…" Dark told Daisuke as he forced the memory of the kiss through Daisuke's mind.
Daisuke blushed, waving his hands franticly. "Okay Dark! You win! I like him okay? LIKE not LOVE! I'm not gay! I still love Riku!"
"Your so-called girlfriend was right about you being a two timer..."
Daisuke's blush faded when he realized what Dark had just meant. "...Oh no...You're right Dark; I promised her that I'd never betray her…Dark! What have I done!"
"Well, sucks for you!" Dark laughed, as if he had no care in the world.
"Stop it Dark! Be serious for once!"
"Okay, okay. Calm down. She's not here anymore right? She can't know about your feelings..."
"No! I can't cheat on her! And I don't like him that much! I mean after all, HE kissed ME; I didn't even want it, besides it was JUST a kiss! Maybe I should call Riku though…obviously you're no help, Dark."
Daisuke began to walk down the stairs gloomily, though after the 3rd step he heard a noise-the doorbell-and his father opened the door.
"Excuse me...can I…speak to Niwa-kun?" Satoshi asked quietly, he sounded kind of shy.
Kosuke paused, but then he smiled. "Sure! Thanks for coming over!"
Satoshi just simply nodded as he walked into the house.
"H-Hiwatari-kun!" Daisuke whispered and quickly ran back up into his room. "What is he DOING here!" He panted. Soon he heard a knock on his door. Daisuke opened the door with closed eyes while fighting a blush.
"H-hi…umm…what is it?" Daisuke asked as he tried not to give away that he knew Satoshi was there beforehand. Then he noticed the bleeding wound on the other boy's right arm.
"Hiwatari-kun! You're hurt!" He exclaimed.
Satoshi's eyes widened, as he put his hand over the cut. He acted as if he didn't know it was there. "No...it's nothing." He said looking away. "I wanted to ask you something." He continued, walking stedily toward Daisuke as he slowly closed Daisuke's room door.
"Oh? What is it?" Daisuke asked with a raised eyebrow, his heart was thumping with a quick pace, yet he tried to keep calm, as Satoshi does.
"It's about Dark..."
