Running out of time

Chapter 11

We returned to the present day with a surprise. When we came back barely any time had passed by. To us it had been nearly a half an hour, to my mother and Emiko it had hardly been a minute. Something strange also happened; Risa was still not connected to me.

"This is good!" Emiko said, "Your spell is almost broken, all you need is the last piece, witch is there now."

Emiko pointed to the T.V. where the news was playing. There was the TV lady talking about the sudden appearance of the missing piece of art that we would be stealing later tonight. Might as well let them have it for a little bit longer. I turned to look at my mother. She had a look of concern on her face. She started to walk up to Risa and me and wrapped her arms around us both. I noticed that Risa and I were finally the same height.

"Girls, you know that once this is all done, nothing will be the same right?"

"Yeah," Risa said.

I still couldn't figure out all that was happening, this was all going on so fast. Nothing was explaining itself to me and every answer just lead me into another question. Dark being related to Satoshi? Risa in love with the former Dark? I wanted to know all the answers, but nothing came to me. Nobody told me any thing about Risa! It's madding trying to figure out Risa's story. The true story, not her story everyone knows, not the black angel Risa, but the person Risa, Risa Hikari.

I was snapped out of the trance that I put myself in, by Risa grabbing my hand. I looked up into her light brown eyes that reminded me of mine, and knew what she wanted. We walked out of the room and went up the stairs quickly. When we went into my room, Risa ran into the closet and opened a hidden door that I could never open before Risa came.

Inside was a cryptic looking room, like it has been there for years. There was a table with Tarot cards spread out. Sense Risa and I have connected we go into this little room that Risa opens and she reads the outcome of how everything is going to go. We've done this with every mission that we took. This one was no different. Risa flipped one of the cards over.

"This one means that there will be complications."

She flipped over another one, "this one means that we will find happiness."

She flipped the last one over, "this one means that everything will go our way."

I looked down at the table, usually she puts out three cards, but this one had four. I tapped her on the shoulder and pointed at the card. Risa looked at it as if she really wanted to turn it over, but she didn't. She slowly turned in the chair to face me. We gave each other a comforting hug to reassure each other that we will get through all of this. I let go of her and looked out the window, the light was fading into the distance, and it was time.

We walked out of the room, changing into what we need to have on. Me in a red simple outfit made of a red tee shirt and black pants, her in a black, long sleeved, flowing, shirt with red shorts.

"Riku, Risa." My mother said when we were about to leave.

"Yes, mom?" I answered.

"Good luck. I hope you make it in time."

"Oh don't be like that!" Risa said, "Be happy! We'll be back before the sun comes up!"

Risa and I stepped outside to the center of our back yard. Facing each other, we spread out wing out, letting black and red feathers fly around our bodies in a circle. We flew off heading towards Krad.

We finally made it to the museum that had the rose in place. Risa and I quietly flew over the building finding a place to land so we could get the rose and be done with it, but something was wrong. There wasn't any police there in site! Not a single one that was normally there to catch us was there.

We headed into the back where we were scheduled to be. We gently opened the door and slipped in. The scene that we saw next was gruesome and disgusting. We found out why there was no one there to stop us, they were dead. Bodies sprawled out all over the floor, blood draining out of their lifeless bodies. Blood splattered all over the walls and there was Krad in the center of the chaos. He held in his hands the rose.

"There is my princess!" He said in his cold voice to Risa. He walked on the cold bodies to get to Risa, crunching bones every step he took.

"Stay away from me Krad! I don't want anything to do with you! I want Dark! Give me my Dark back!"

"Your Dark?" He laughed a loud boastful laugh. "Last I checked, Dark belonged to your dear sister, and you belonged to me!"

"I will never be yours! I love Dark, Krad! Can't you understand that?"

"No I will never give you up to him! He doesn't deserve you!"

Krad grabbed Risa's arm and pulled her to him.

"Let me go!" She yelled.

I tried to grab for her but Krad held me back from grabbing her with a spell. Krad looked at Risa's face with a wild look in his eye, but then, I noticed his wings start to tun gray! The color of his bright golden hair was tuning purple. Dark was trying to come back! Krad let go of Risa and fell to the floor in pain.

"NO! I won't let you have her!" He yelled.

"Yes. You. Will!" Dark was gaining controll little by little. "Risa. Help. Me." Dark said, reaching out to her.

"Dark!" Risa yelled, running towards him.

"No!" I yelled, "don't go near him! He might turn back into Krad!"

Our voices echoed on the cold walls. It was the silence before the storm. All I could do was watch Risa standing there with a helpless look on her face. The one person that I thought could get through this was as lost as I was. Dark slowly and painfully lifted from the ground to his feet. His body kept changing back from himself to Krad.

"Risa, finish the spell!" Dark lifted his arm holding out the rose.

"But if I do you might die!"

"I don't care! I love you! I want to do this!"

Tears came to Risa's eyes; She leaned close to him and grabbed the Rose.

"Do you know what might happen if I finish the spell?" Risa said looking at me. I shook my head. I didn't know if I wanted to know or not.

"If Krad times it right and he comes out when I finish the spell Dark will die. If I don't finish the spell I will die."

"Well, don't waist time! Dark is fine now! Do it Risa!"

"No! Dark has to figure out how to get rid of Krad on his own. He needs to find a replacement that Krad can go into."

"And that will be me."

The strange voice reveled itself. It was Satoshi! He walked out of the shadows holding a mirror of time in his hands.

"I will use myself. There can't be another. It has to be someone that is related to him by blood. I can't let this ass hole stay in the family anymore!"

He walked up to Dark, grabbing his collar and pulling him up to eye level. Dark let out a sigh and Krad fully took over his body.

"Thank you Krad that was exactly what I wanted!"

Satoshi lifted the mirror up over Krad's head. Lights came from the mirror, surrounding both of them in a frightening, bright light. Satoshi was chanting something in a language that I couldn't understand. Krad yelled in pain, while Satoshi kept chanting. Their bodies rose in the air and I saw Dark and Krad separate from each other. There was a gust of wind coming from them, Dark and Krad's wings disappeared, and Satoshi gained bright blue wings that sprouted from his back. The tips of his new wings were drenched in blood. The light intense as Dark's body fell to the floor. Krad and Dark were separate from each other! I looked back up at Satoshi; his body was combining with Krad's. In a flash of light and a loud bang, Satoshi fell to the floor. Krad was gone.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"He," Risa started, "he is in Satoshi!"

Risa looked down at the rose; she breathed in a heavy sigh. Her eyes closed and the rose started to glow. She extend her wings out like she was about to fly but instead a light surrounded her. Unlike the last light that had came from Satoshi and Krad, who was sleeping on the floor now, I could see her expressions very clearly. Her eyes had a sad look in them, but her face was happy. She let go of the rose in her hand and it shattered. The pieces flew around the room, but no one was hurt. The light that was around her was now gone, but Aurora and her prince stood in front of her instead. They were finally free.

Then I felt a burning feeling on my arm, it was the bracelet! It was melting off of Risa and my arms! The spell was broken! I ran to Risa giving her a hug, she smiled at me with tears in her brown eyes. We looked at Dark, and he smiled.

"Well I'm glad that's over! So, let me get this straight. When I kissed Risa, I was also kissing Riku? That's cool!"

"Shut up Dark!" I said, laughing with my new sister.

"Well that's ok," Dark said, "so long as I get a sorry kiss, I'm fine."

He grabbed me one the arm and tried to pull me close to him. But, all of a sudden we heard this loud crash!

"NOOOOO! Don't do it Riku! It's Krad! He'll kill Risa!"

I turned around and there was Daisuke up on a high window, about to jump. I ran to where he was going to fall and he landed on me with a painful thud. He lifted off of me, but starring right into my face.

"Riku! Are you alright?"

"I will be if you stop YELLING at me!"

I sat up looking at him. He gave me a large smile that made any pain I was feeling go away. He gently placed his arms around me and gave me a kiss.

"Hey you two!" Dark yelled, "I give you the curtsy of not kissing in front of you, you can do the same!"

"Oh get over it!" Risa said, grabbing Dark's collar and planting a kiss on his lips.

"So, no one's dead right?" Daisuke asked me.

"No," said Risa, "but we need to get Satoshi to a safe place before Krad takes his body over."

Risa and I lifted Satoshi's body off the ground to take him back home. We were going to have a long night getting Krad out. He was already halfway dead, we just needed to finish it.
