"Hello again, little brother…"
"Rein, what are you doing?" Riku looked towards the cloaked figure. Does he ever take that thing off? The boy smirked.
"Of course I take it off, Riku" She glared at him with fiery brown eyes. He smirked. His eyes then turned back to the orb that he loved to watch. He smiled and placed his hand on it.
"Oh, talking to one of your little buddies again or are you stalking Dark?" Riku smirked as he sent her a glare. Even though she could not see his eyes she knew they were glaring.
"Take a guess, and it's not stalking it's…following…" He turned back to the orb. A picture of Dark formed in the orb. He smiled and peered closer.
"Last time I checked, following some one was classified as stalking" She smirked and he simply ignored her.
"Brother! What are you…what are you doing here?" Dark yelled as he stepped towards his older brother. Melfice grinned. Shadows covered his purple eyes. He then looked face to face with his brother.
"Why, aren't you glad to see your elder brother?" He smirked as Dark looked towards the floor. The younger boys fists where clenched tight. He looked up.
"You…you should be dead!" Melfice smirked again. He then raised a brow and licked his lips.
"Dear little brother, naive as always" Dark stepped back. He looked his brother in the face. "Oh, do you really want me dead?" Dark looked to the floor again. Tim stepped forwards.
"Where's my father! What have you done with him?" Melfice smirked. He swiped his hand out making a blade appear. He swiped it and a figure appeared on the floor. The king lay in his own pool of blood. Tears fell down Tim's face. He glared at Darks elder brother.
"You killed him!" Tim yelled as the tears ran out of his eyes. The black haired teen simply smiled and shrugged. He then turned back to his younger brother.
"My, my, little brother, what's wrong with you?" Dark snapped his head up.
"You, you destroyed everything! You killed everyone who ever cared! And for that I will kill you!" Dark picked up his blade. He ran at his brother. Daisuke watched in horror as Melfice ducked and ended up behind dark. Quickly his metal blade cut at Darks back.
"I'd rather not kill you, after all I thought we could have a bit of fun, remember how I would make you scream?" He smirked as his brother flinched at the thought. Dark turned ignoring the pain in his back and swiftly took a go at Melfice's arm. He missed.
Krad now stepped into the battle. He fired a feather at the boy only to find it come straight back at him. He dodged his own attack. The feather pierced the wall. He looked in shock.
"Heh, that's right. Any so called magic from Granis I can fire back with twice as much force" Melfice smirked as he dodged another attack from his little brother. Dark was tiring quickly. The elder Mousy smirked.
"Dark!" A small red head yelled. He came running towards Darks elder brother. Melfice quickly stopped him with a swipe of his blade. A strong gust of air was sent flying towards Daisuke. The red head closed his red eyes. Satoshi wrapped his arms around Daisuke and pulled him out of the line of wind.
Dark tried again. He stumbled forward as his brother dodged. His hatred for the teen growing. When Dark looked up he felt lips on his own. He looked into the now open purple eyes. His brother had planted a hard and demanding kiss on his lips.
Krad growled. He flew forwards and hit Melfice in his back. Quickly he picked Dark up bridal style and flew back to Tim, Risa, Daisuke and Satoshi. Dark wiped his lips on the back of his hand to try and get rid of the lustful kiss.
"Hm, what's wrong brother? Don't like my greeting gift? I can give you something more…pleasurable" He smirked as his younger brother shivered from the memories he was reminding him of.
Melfice charged forwards. He stopped as a dagger was thrown at him. He jumped back. The angel girl stood facing him. She glared at him with her robotic gaze.
"You, robotic angels don't try to hit their masters" He snarled at her and then ran up a ledge. He stood before a glass stained window.
"Heh, nice seeing you again brother and we will settle this in that old miserable town we called home" He smirked and broke the window. He then jumped out fleeing from the battle. All eyes turned towards the shivering Dark.
"Brother…what happen to you…"
Dark hissed. Daisuke gently wiped his wound clean.
"Its alright Dark, it won't hurt much longer" The red head again forced his tears out. There must be another way than crying… He wiped the tears on a cloth and gently padded the cut. He looked at the scars on Darks pale back.
"Dark?" The elder boy grunted and hissed again as the cloth hit a sensitive part of his skin. Daisuke sighed.
"Where did you get all these scars?" Dark shrugged. He then hissed again. Daisuke sighed and stopped. He looked at where the cut was. No scar or any sign of its existence now existed n his back the scars that had collide with it had also partly disappeared. Risa came in. She had stitched the rip in the back. She smiled and handed it to Dark.
"Thanks…" Dark slipped the coat on. He then looked towards Daisuke. The boy was crying and had a bottle underneath him catching his tears.
"Daisuke? What are you doing?" The red head continued to weep. Slowly the bottle filled up.
"Its…encase, one of us…gets injured…" He snuffled and wiped away the left over tears. Dark sighed and patted his head.
"People of the kingdom of crill! The doors of darkness have finally been open, but there is no need to fear" Everyone looked up at there prince. Tim waited for everyone to stop talking. "Inside the doors were nothing but a factory, and we were its keepers, now we no longer have to keep watch of it. We shall no longer be the keepers of the door" Everyone sighed.
"But what shall we do now prince Tim?" Tim looked and waited for the crowd to settle down. He smiled.
"We once had a flag, but we were too ashamed to fly it, now we will fly it with pride to remember this day as the day we became independent!" He turned towards the top of the place. A flag slowly arose. A red dragon with three heads was on the flag. The crest of valmar.
Dark and Daisuke smiled. They then peeked over the edge of the castle. Tim looked up and smiled his thanks to them. He then turned back to his people.
"I'm sorry but I can't travel with you anymore, looks like my adventure stops here" Tim smiled sadly. He looked up, tears laced his blue eyes. He smiled again and looked back to the floor.
"And…Risa…" Brown eyes looked towards him. He looked up, a blush slightly tinted his face. Risa looked at him waiting.
"I…I really like you…more than a friend" He smiled and just before Risa could speak a guard came up to him. Tim nodded and said his goodbyes. Soon he was led back into the place. Risa stood there. She still thought about the words he had told her. She smiled then turned to the group.
The group started to walk but stopped as Angel stood still watching them. Krad walked up to her.
"Master?" Krad blinked. He sighed.
"I'm not your master, you are a free…thing…" Dark smiled behind Krad's back. The blonde was actually being nicer for once and not harassing him.
Krad turned back to the group. He sighed and looked at them.
"She wants to come along with us…" Risa smiled and walked up to her. She greeted herself to the girl and they soon became fast friends.
"Welcome to the party, what's your name?" The robotic angel looked toward them. She titled her head.
"My unit number is 144528 but you can just call me Angel" She looked towards Krad and stood beside him. Her robotic gaze looked towards him. He smiled awkwardly as he forced his lips into the smile. Daisuke smiled he then his gaze towards Dark. The purple haired teen looked towards the red sky setting across the land.
Dark mind was else where. His brother kept flashing in his head as unwanted memories filled him. He looked at the red sky, to others it was just a red sky but to him, it was blood. Two clouds, two figures. The red sky, the blood from there bodies. The birds, the flies that are attracted to the corpses. Dark shivered at the thought. At the memories that filled him. He couldn't protect them…
"Dark!" He looked towards a waving Daisuke. His friends stood tall or short in Daisuke's case, waiting for him. Well he had his friends, and that was something he could and would protect. He smiled and ran towards them.
Now the group set there journey towards Darks old home. Rein smirked.
"Heh looks like the two brothers will finally settle what happen all those years ago, and it will be perfect time to capture my Dark" He grinned evilly. Small long strands of sliver hair fluttered from under his hood.
"Blood shall be shed and the wings will be mine, looks like my Dark will take his brothers life" He grinned, his plan was going all according to plan. Soon Dark would be his.

The waves started to pick up and rain poured down heavily on deck. With one strong blow, Krad was flung to the other side of the wall. Angel let go of Darks wrists to tend to her master. Another hard wave crashed into the boat. Krad was once again flung against the wall by some unseen force. Angel stood strong and tall. Dark on the other hand was now pinned to the wall. He struggled as some other unseen force kept him in place.
