Chapter 7

There was a surprise waiting for JD the next morning. "It's time to learn you spellcasting." JD was shocked and looked at Dark with open mouth. "Can't you breath trough your nose? Now get dressed!" "You're not my father to tell me what to do!" "Getting to meet you made me realize I'm glad that I don't have children. I wait for you downstairs." Dark left the room. JD looked the clothes that Dark thrown on sofa. He wanted to puke. Short sleeved T-shirt. Emiko must be kidding. He looked at his arms covered with scars and sighed.

„Willst du mich verarschen?!" Yelled JD. „I'm not going to wear this!" „Yes, you will." Dark was drinking tea, doing his best to stay calm. "I won't!" JD shouted. "Well, you get dressed or I won't teach you anything." "Fine, I don't want you to teach me about magic anyways. Leave me alone!" Dark got mad. There's no way that the brat will get away with his behaviour. Put the cup on table and sat down next to JD. He grabbed him. "What are you doing? Let me go!" JD was trying to kick him off. Dark was unbuttoning his pyjama. "Ich werde einen Scheiß auf dich geben, du Göre " JD rolled into a ball. He didn't want to make Dark notice the scars. Luck was on his side, because Emiko entered the room.

„What are you two doing! Dark let him go!" She shouted. „Seriously Dark, are you normal?" Daisuke sighed. JD run into Emiko's arms and hugged her. "I was an explanation right now!" She was ignoring JD, after all she knew he costs lot of trouble. "He was throwing a tantrum, so I wanted to give him a lesson." Emiko pushed JD away. "Why did you throw a tantrum?" He pointed at shirt. "I don't wear short sleeves and I never will." "Next time, I'll get you a sleeveless shirt. Get dressed or I will spank you as well!" Emiko was angry at him. JD got up and went to Daisuke's room.

"They treat me like I was a child. " He sighed. Emiko came to him. "Take this one!" and gave him an elbow-length shirt. Now go to Dark." "Is he serious about it?" He asked her. "Of course, he is. I know you two don't get along. I asked him to show you how to steal." "So, I'm supposed to be a young version of him!" Emiko sighed. "James, I don't want you to be like Dark. I just want you to respect our rules. You are curious about magic, aren't you? Now, go on and play." Dark was waiting for him. "It took you so long. Are you a girl or what?"

They reached an old castle. Paint was peeling off the walls and had a weird smell. The windows were broken and lot of shards everywhere. "Cool! There might be a library inside." Immediately run into the building. "Idiot!" Said Dark to himself and followed him. JD was taken back by the old paintings and statues that were inside. "JD come here!" Dark was sitting next to a statue that looked like belcher. "What's that?" He wanted to touch it but Dark hit his hand. "Don't touch that!" Dark yelled at JD. "There's a demon inside of it!" JD's cat ears popped out. "Cool a friend!" Dark sighed and took out a feather. "Now watch closely, I'll show you how to seal it." "You can't do that, you'll hurt him!" Dark ignored him. "You know JD, the demon could harm someone. This way it stays where it belongs." He tried to stroke his head but JD shook his hand off. "Don't touch me!" He yelled at Dark. He just put the statue in the bag. "Let's go back." JD grabbed one of the books and followed him.

Once they got back home, JD ruin straight into his room. He wasn't mad at Dark, just wanted to make some notes into his diary. Although he was mostly curious to read the book, before someone borrows it and forget to give it back. "JD, I want to tell you something." Dark came into the room but JD completely ignored him. "What's that?" "That's a book, you read it. Unlike you, my hobbies are normal." Dark grabbed the book. "Where did you get this? It's full of black magic!" "They had lot of these in the castle. You could have taken one of them!" JD was mad. "Give it back!" "You can't take something without asking!" "Like you are the one who can say that! You just stole my book! Can't you write a warning letter so I get some time to copy it!" Instead of getting answer Dark slammed the door. „Scheiße!"

It was time to get rid of the brat. He waited for Daisuke to go to sleep. Tiptoed to kitchen and grabbed the sharpest knife. He sneaked back into the room. "Don't you worry Dark. It won't hurt." Said JD to himself and got into Daisuke's bed. He wanted to give Dark a chance but was sure someone like him won't ever change. He looked at his chest. Knife was about to meet the body. Something stopped it. JD couldn't kill Daisuke. Dark was the one to blame, not him. How can he kill someone innocent? Daisuke never did anything evil. "You're lucky, Dark. Your tamer saved you" JD was tortured by his own thoughts. He put the knife under sofa and then sat down. He didn't know what to do. He failed. It was time to say goodbye. He sneaked out by window; he knew humans do not want him.

"Daisuke, wake up!" Dark insisted his tamer. "What?" "JD run away."

...

Dark was walking in the allays of Azumano. It was dark and cold. He didn't want to make JD notice him. He never trusted that brat, after all he might be a spy. Another Hikari creation, just like him. It would be for the best if JD run away and never came back. The trash would get taken out my itself.

JD was spending time with Krad. At least someone likes him, he though. Using magic was rare in Mognavia, so if Krad was able to share his passion, he cannot be bad after all. But he still knew it wouldn't go well if Krad found out about his weak side. "You were right." JD sighed. "I only cost troubles to them." "Don't worry child, everything will change once we get rid of Dark." JD looked into his eyes. "Is there a way to kill Dark, but keep Daisuke alive?" Krad laughed. "You still care about them?" JD started to laugh to hide his true feelings. He knew that no one gets him. How much he wanted to get back home. Krad grabbed him under chin. "Stop messing around. Come on, I know you can do it after all it's eighter you or him. You need to do something for me before I'll teach you more."

Krad was right. He had to choose. "What about the book?" "It's yours, but remember it is not the only thing you will need." "I have the rest in Mognavia." Said JD to himself. It was time to get back home. He tried to tease Dark, so he would take him home. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful. He looked through the book. "I hope it's the one you want." JD nodded and flew away.

Book was heavy, so he didn't get too far. JD started walking toward Niwa's home. Suddenly he bumped into someone. "Auch, can't you look where are you going?!" "What do you think you're doing?" Dark grabbed the book. "How much have you seen?" "Enough! How could you have done something like that!" "I just wanted to have a friend." Dark slapped JD. "Krad is not your friend. He just wants to use you and then he'll kill you!" He yelled. "How do I know you are not the one who wants to kill me?" Dark looked deeply into JD's eyes. He had enough of him. "If I wanted you dead, you would be already dead." Tear fell down JD's face. "I just wanted to learn about magic. You taught me nothing except seals!" JD cried. "You don't always get what you want! I wouldn't teach a stuck-up brat like you! Learn to behave firstly! Now it's time to go back."
