Awhile the place he had created slowly ate at him. Dark was fading fast. The chains even tighter than before almost stopping his breathing. His eyes closed and the wings covered him fully. Blood dripped into the pools of blood on the floor.

Water crashed into her and filled her lungs. She fell. Her heart stopped for a second before regaining its beat. Her brown hair laid spread out on the floor. Her eyes opened from shock. Rika…she couldn't feel her anymore…

The brunette lay on the floor. Her blood mixing with the pools of red on the floor. Her brown eyes opened. The red head looked at her sadly before running towards the black ball.

"Dark!" He placed his hands on the feathers only to find them deathly cold. He placed his ear on the frozen feathers. After getting use to the cold he listened carefully. He heard nothing. His face paled.

"Dark!" A wheezy cough came from inside.

"Can't…breathe…" Daisuke started to pound at the wings begging for them to open. He looked at the chains and began to try to pull them off.

"Krad we have to get them off him! He's dieing!" The blonde sighed sadly.

"Only he can do that, those chains are hi memories. They bound him and keep him here" Daisuke looked towards the wings. 'Dark…'

Purple eyes opened. His wet shirt stuck tightly to his wet body while his ripped rousers stuck to his thin legs, chains were tightly around his wrists ankles and neck. He looked around. Standing in front of him was a six year old…him…

The small boy smiled and looked at him.

"It's not our time to die yet, Dark. Remember we still have to kill him" The boy smiled and vanished in a bright white light. Purple eyes slowly opened. Pink flower petals lightly fell onto his face. Soon red blurred his vision.

"Dark…Dark!" Daisuke hugged the geohound tightly. He quietly cried into the older teen's torn shirt. Golden eyes laid themselves on the boy who hugged the younger one back. He walked towards Dark. Once the red head let go, he embraced the younger boy from behind.

"Dark…I've missed you…" Darks cheeks tinted red as the pair of arms tightened there grip slightly.

"Lets go" Dark waited as the blonde released him. Daisuke helped him up. His black wings had returned to his sore back. The three held hands tightly as they flew back into the real world.

Rika's dull eyes slowly turned black as the world around her collapsed. Her last thought was on the dark haired teen who she was said to capture and fell in love with. A tear rolled down her cheek.

Riku watched as three figures exited the mirror. One being Dark. Soon the mirror shattered. Tears now rolled out of her brown eyes.

"Rika!...You…you killed her…" Daisuke looked to the ground. The short haired girl glared at them though teary eyes before standing.

"Dark Mousy, I will not forget this, the same goes for you Daisuke Niwa. All of you will pay! And you will join the others Dark, one way or another you will join them…" With that she jumped into the trees and quickly set of at a fast pace. She looked back once more and then vanished.

"Dark!" Risa clung onto the dark haired teen. Her brown eyes let out the thousands of tears that she had kept locked up inside. Dark sighed and patted her head light before carefully getting her off him.

"Come on we have to leave…let's get to the next town" He began to walk slowly but stopped as his legs quickly gave in. He fell to the floor.

"Dark!" The purple haired teen fell down unconscious.

Rain poured down heavily on the broken scene before him. He stood still silent tears rolled down his cheeks. His mothers head lying next to his feet.

"Krad, what happened in the mirror world?" Tim asked. Daisuke dipped the dry cloth into a tub of water. Quickly he placed it on Darks forehead. Golden eyes looked towards the short haired blonde.

"…I know what they mean now…" Krad barely whispered. All eyes turned to him. The blonde looked at them and then let his golden eyes trail to the sleeping form of Dark.

"The message on the wall…its him…" Krad smirked at the confused looks of the others faces. He sighed and stood up. He walked towards Dark and gently placed a hand on his cheek.

"He is the wings of-" He was cut of by a scream from Risa. She stood petrified. A group of men on horses stood in front of her. There swords held tightly in there hands.

"Ah!" One of the swords positioned itself as if to cut her in half. Tim quickly called upon his staff.

"Stop! If you move the girl dies" The short haired blonde stopped. His green cap still stuck tightly to his head. He frowned.

"Put your weapons down" Tim dropped his staff. One of the men smirked.

"Hand us all your valuable things or we will just have to take little miss cutie…any other women had better come out" A hand reached down and stroked the girls pale face. Another looked towards the long haired blonde.

"What about that one, even though he's a boy, he is sure very pretty" Krad glared at him. He pretty? How dare they…

A man with long silver hair jumped of his horse and walked over towards the blonde. His hand reached for his face and lightly held it in place while his golden eyes looked the blonde from up and down. He smiled and nodded.

"Yes very pretty indeed, but…is there anyone else travelling with you?" Daisuke shook his head.

"No sir…" His red eyes looked to the floor. The silver haired man watched as the boy fiddled with the trim of his top. He smiled and lifted up the boys head. He looked eye to eye with the boy.

"You better not be lying or your little girly friend might meet her end" He smirked as Daisuke closed his eyes and started to shake slightly.

"Fine, we will take your blonde and the girl, seeing as you two are two young and the other two our very pretty and as for you magician, tie him to and the others to a tree, but…we also want anything that is worth something" He looked towards a green haired boy and yet another blonde. He smiled and then looked towards the large tent that the group had put up.

"Go in and look for anything precious" The men got off there horses and walked towards the tent. Daisuke's fear began to rise. What if they found Dark? He started to shake more. Blue eyes watched and then turned towards the intruders.

"Please, we have neither gold nor silver all we have is rice bowls, chopsticks and sleeping bag beds…and that tent…" Satoshi watched as the silver haired boy let go of Daisuke and walked towards him. The man pointing a sword to Risa's throat kept a firm grip on her.

"We'll see for ourselves then" The men walked inside. The man smirked. Soon one of the two men walked out.

"Rei you better come and see this" He walked back inside. A lump found its way into Daisuke's throat. 'Oh no, they found Dark, what are we going to do?' The group walked in to where Rei and his men had gone. Red, gold and two pairs of blue eyes opened in shook. Dark was no where in the room. A long trail of black feathers led out the tent.

"What the…what are these feathers for?" He looked towards Daisuke daring him to lie.

"I…I don't know…" He blinked and looked at the black feathers. One word came to his mind 'Dark'.

"Right take the girl and the boy, hurry up and tie them tight!...fare well!" Rei rode off with his men taking Krad and Risa with him.

"Damn it!" Tim yelled while trying to reach his staff but failed miserably. The three sighed.

"I wonder what happened to Dark?" Daisuke sighed and looked to the floor. As if on queue and large gust of wind made the three close there eyes to shield them from the bits of dust and sand. A light thud sounded near them.

Red eyes opened. He gasped.

"Dark!" Darks black figure was tiredly leaning against a tree nearby. His purple eyes weakly looked towards them. He smirked and stumbled forward slightly. Tim and Satoshi stared in shock. Large black feathered wings had sprouted from his back. Dark walked towards them slowly every now and then slightly falling. His wings barely holding him up. He quickly untied the rope and fell down on his knees.

"Ah" His black wings carefully folded and pushed back into his back painfully. He gritted his teethe and shakily stood up with Daisuke's and Satoshi's help.

"Thanks…where's Krad and Risa?" He looked around. Tim sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"There gone…this guy called Rei and his gang took them, said Krad was pretty and Risa was to…" He sighed again and picked up his abused staff. He walked towards the way they went. Satoshi and Daisuke trailing behind him helping Dark stay up.

Tim walked in his thoughts. 'Dark had wings…Krad mentioned something about a message on a wall…he said he figured it out, but what is it?' He looked towards Dark and then went back to his thoughts. 'It has to have something connected to Dark…' He sighed yet again, and then lightly hit his head.

Krad glared at the silver haired teen named Rei. Thoughts on how he would murder the petty human filled his mind. His bound hands getting tightly rubbed by the hard rope. He glared again.

Risa was next to him. Her brown eyes shut as she was knocked unconscious. He sighed deeply. A hand lifted his chin up. He glared into the golden eyes of Rei.

"Your very pretty indeed…hummm maybe I should have a bit of fun with you?" He smirked and licked the blonde's lips but then pulled back as a hard bite to his tongue from Krad was given to him. He slapped the boys face and smiled. His hand cupped his face again and he peered deeply into the golden eyes of the blonde.

"You know that just makes me want you more?" He licked at Krad's ear receiving a struggled from the blonde. He then nipped Krad's ear making the blonde moan slightly. Heat rose to Krad's pale face.

"Hum…cute, but why are you resisting me? Hum? Many people would love to be you right now" He attacked Krad's ear again with his tongue.

Krad shivered as a hand gently brushed against his pants. The other boy smiled widely and let one of his hands travel up Krad's loose top. He watched as the blonde shivered again. The cold hand explored his chest. 'Damnit! I should be doing this to Dark not someone doing this to me?" Krad glared at the man.

"Are you sure they went this way?" Riku nodded. Her pale hand trailed on the ground.

"Yes I'm certain, Dark Mousy the geohound went this way. As did the others" She watched as the figures moved in the direct she led them. She smiled. Her revenge would soon happen but first, she needed Dark to join. What better way to get revenge by making Dark kill his own friends. She smirked evilly.

"Hey! Krad! Untie me!" Dark yelled from the bed as he struggled with the tight binds, while slightly kicking his legs in the air. Krad walked towards the door. He smirked at the tied geohound.

"We will continue this later" He smiled and throw a sharp white feather towards Darks bound wrists. The material ripped and released its tight hold on the younger boy.
