Truths Revealed

The older teen stopped dead in her tracks as she heard that voice. Her eyes widened as she stood there. How much had he heard? She cleared her throat as she still looked down the street and didn't turn to face him. Her heart began to pound as she hoped that it wasn't who she thought it was. Her auburn eyes looked to the sky as she let his words ring in her ear. 'Beautiful voice? That can't be right.' she thought as she let her hand go to her skirt to straighten it some. Pressing her lips together, she closed her eyes and tried not to think of him behind her. Instead, she just walked on down the street. After a few minutes, she stopped. "Did you need something?" she asked, still not turning to face him.

Dark's violet eyes held that confident look even after she started moving again. A smirk would appear on his face as she stopped again. Hearing her words made his pride hurt, but he didn't let that stop him from being charming. "To hear a beautiful melody sung but such a gorgeous lady would be nice."

She frowned. "Don't you have some other woman who can swoon over you?" she asked, her attitude had completely changed from when she was talking to Dai.

"Why pick another when I have one in plain sight?"

"I am not going to swoon over you."

His smile left his face as he looked over her. "You really don't like me, do you?" he asked, feeling slightly saddened that this beauty in front of him didn't feel attracted him. "Or are you playing hard to get?" he asked, that famous smirk appearing.

She frowned as she turned around. "Hard to get! What are you babbling about you derang-" she stopped abruptly as she saw him standing there, not even four feet from her. Her auburn eyes widened slightly as she saw black feathers all around the ground. She slowly looked up his frame to take in the two black wings coming from his back. A hand went to her mouth as she had never seen him with those before. Flashes of her as a child came before her eyes. Shaking her head some to clear her head, she let out a deep breath. Her eyes soon focused again on his wings again. Never had she thought she would see him in this form this close. Toumyo gulped as she watched him smirk again.

"You were saying, Toumyo?"

"Hush, don't say my name." she said, blinking before frowning at him.

"Why not?" he asked, still keeping his charm about him.

"Because I-I hate you." she said, gathering up what courage she had. She could feel her heart breaking once again as she glared at him. "You should never have found out my name. You should have stuck to stealing my family's art. You should just fly away from here and be free."

"Whoa, whoa. I didn't think you would be this harsh. Was it something that I said? Hate me? How can you hate me when you don't know me? You can't say that I am free when you don't even know anything about me." he said, frowning at her.

"But I do. I know to much." she said, lowering her head. "I know enough to hate you."

"You do? Well, then tell me what do you know?" he asked, placing a hand on his hip.

She took a step closer and looked up at him. "I know that you can easy fly in and out of my family's lives without warning. You take what you want with no regard for our feelings. I have read countless books on you back at the mansion and for that I was punished." Toumyo said the last part rather quietly.

"Punished? Why?"

"Because I wanted to be like you. I wanted to fly free with black wings." she said, lowering her head. "But that was when I was younger, not now." she said, softly.

Something about that didn't make sense to him. She hated yet him, and yet she wanted to be like him. He smiled as he remembered her poems talking about being free and flying in black wings. Maybe he could do that for her one day. Dark's smile faded as he noticed that she was crying. He walked closer and took her chin in his hand. Softly lifting it up so that he could look at her soft, yet sad face, he smiled warmly this time. "Hush, Toumyo. Don't shed any tears."

As another tear fell from her eye, she looked up at him. A pain struck her heart as she looked up at him. Here was her chance to be free, and yet she couldn't bring herself to ask. His words seemed to soothe her as she just looked into his purple eyes. Pressing her lips together, she felt more tears spill over. "I can't be like you. I am a Hikari." she said, pulling back from his touch. "I can't be free."

"Toumyo, anyone can be free if they choose to."

"You don't know Krad." she said, fear in her eyes at the mere mention of his name. "I am but a pawn in his plan. I have no choice."

He frowned as he saw this. He knew that his fate was sealed long before this girl was born, but he didn't want her to feel the pain that he felt everyday knowing that he would be sealed away once again when Daisuke's love returned his affection. To see her this upset because of the choices that were made before her time, made his own heart ache. How could they use her as a pawn? She was a human being and needed to have freedom like one. "You do have choice, Toumyo. You are human."

"I-I can't. If I were to be free and let my own heart think, I would be punished."

He was beginning to understand why she hated him so much. He could fight Krad and get away with it. Dark nodded as he looked at her. "It's because I can fight him. Isn't it?" he asked, looking at her.

"What?" she asked, looking at him once again.

"Krad, I can fight him and be able to fly away. You can't. You are stuck in a cage doing his bidding because you think you aren't strong enough to be free."

Her eyes widened as she looked at him. He was smart. Toumyo nodded as she just looked at him with shock. He figured it out so easily. She looked away at the night sky and sighed. The auburn haired girl wished she could disappear from existence. She wished that she could just leave, but some thing was keeping her here, and she didn't know what. Her eyes were beginning to water once again. Blinking back tears, she continued to looked away from him as her heart still ached. Why was this happening?

"Toumyo, never give up hope. Someday you will be free." he said, his eyes holding truth as he moved closer to her. He could see that she wasn't moving, so he took that as an ok for him to be close to her once again. His used his hand to softly pull her head towards him. "You will be free." Dark repeated as his purple eyes looked into her own, showing her the truth of his words.

"H-how can I believe you?"

"Have faith that your black wings will show you that light. One day you will be given that key to unlock your cage." he said, smiling warmly as he watched her eyes widened once again.

"My poems!" she exclaimed. "How did you know that?"

"A friend of mine told me about them. They sounded so lovely, I would love to hear one someday."

She blushed. "Maybe someday." she said softly. Hearing the clock chime, she gasped. The older teen needed to be home pronto. "I have to go." she said, turning to go again, only to feel his hand grab her wrist. She looked back, and he handed her a single black feather. She frowned as she didn't understand what this was for. Her hand took it gently as she looked from it to him.

"Take a look at that feather and know that your black wings will save you one day." he said, extending his wings and hovering. His hand caressed her cheek softly for a brief second before he flew off into the night sky, leaving the girl bewildered.

After a few moments, she looked at the feather again and blushed. "No, this is a dream. It has to be." she said, as she heard the chime again, she began to run. Tucking the feather in her purse, she ran all the way to her house and stopped at the front of it to see her cousin knocking on her door. She gulped and walked up behind him. "Sorry, I was a bit late. I had to do some extra cleaning at the bar tonight."

"Part of the agreement for you to live on your own was to be home at a certain time. Don't let it happen again." he said, waiting for her to unlock the door.

She winced at the harshness of his tone. Her eyes looked to his as she realized that it was Krad speaking. "Yes, Sir." she said, walking past him. Those golden eyes were enough to bring her back to her senses for now.

Once inside, she heard him slam the door. "What is that smell?" he asked, his voice almost in a growl. It made her jump as she slowly turned around to see him looking particularly scary.

"What smell?" she asked, trying to not to show how much fear was there. She put her purse in the coat closet and looked at him, hoping he wasn't smelling the feather that she had brought in.

"It smells like..." he stopped and came closer to her. Grabbing her shirt, he pulled her off the ground. "Dark!" he said, glaring at her. "What did I tell you about him!"

"No. It's not like that. He came into the cafe tonight. I didn't mean to get to close. Please..please...Krad." she said, pleading that he wouldn't do anything to harm her again. She winced as he threw her down and stormed out of the house, warning her never to get that close again. After a few moments, she got up, trembling. She fixed her shirt, only to find that her necklace was broken. A gasp came from her as she looked all over for the missing piece. When she couldn't find it, she lowered her head. Either Krad had it, or it had flown under something. Shaking her head, she went to her bedroom. Sitting at her desk, she began to write another poem. When she was finished, Toumyo left it on the desk and went to bed. Tomorrow would be another slow day. Although as she fell asleep, thoughts of tonight wouldn't leave her mind.

My heart is torn in two, confused and tormented.

Is it wrong to fall for someone that your are forbidden to see?

But how can I fall for someone when my heart is dying to be free?

Simple, those black wings will be there to take away the pain.

Those black wings have shed light in a dark room, giving me a glimmer of hope.
