After the haunting dance, Daisuke barely managed to walk Riku home. With a parting kiss, Daisuke stood outside of the Harada door in what seemed like a trance. The police arrived, just as the angry homcidal blonde left. His last words were "Many more lives will be lost because of you."
Slowly, he made his way home to the quiet household,. Without a word the boy stepped through the door, and made his way up the stairs quickly slamming the door. The boy soon found himself laying upon the bed his head buried into the pillow. Why? Why couldn't I move? Why couldn't I save her? Dark voiced his thoughts out loud to no one in particular. "Dark, quit it. There was nothing you could do." Daisuke said rolling over in agony. He could still picture. That look in her eyes. That scared, cold, lonely look was frozen in his memory.
Within Daisuke's being, Dark whispered the songs he had long since memorized within his mind. Trying to shurg the grim thought from his mind, Daisuke reached for the phone. Dialing the usual numbers, he waited as the phone rang. The ringing pierced through the speaker. It rang and rang and rang.
Until it just stopped.
A voice came on through the other side. "Hi, it's Kiyo-" Daisuke slammed the phone down, back into it's charger.
Why, why, why...
"Dark, will it make you a little bit more quiet if you listened to the headphones again?" Dark didn't respond. it had become a daily ritual to listen to them while he slept anyway, and maybe once more wouldn't be so bad..
Emiko slowly made her way down the dark streets. Trees and houses rushed by, as she turned the knob upon the radio. A soft classical song came through the speakers as she slowly began to unwind. The road twisted and turned as she drove on from the school. She arrived to pick up her beloved son, only to be told he had left with that Harada girl. Mrs. Niwa hummed along to the familair tune as she soon found herself tapping upon the steering wheel.
Soon something came upon her view. A tall figure slouched. The shadow had one arm clutching the other, as two black wings came from their backs. "An angel?" Emiko whispered. She continued to drive on paying no heed to the figure in her path. "Emiko you're just losing your mind."
The light approached, nearing as Ki found herself unable to move. Her left arm clutched her right, in an attempt to stop the bleeding. She slowly came to feel her head looking up upon the source.
Like a deer frozen at the fascination of the upcoming lights. Ki's eyes widened in terror.
A vibrating sound rang from her purse, as Emiko averted her eyes for one moment to answer the phone. She fished it out and flipped the silver object open, only to hear a voice. "Mom?" Daisuke's voice came out as a whisper. "Yes dear?"
Without realizing it, Emiko unconciously stepped on the acceleration, a thud following. "Oh my goodness! I just hit an angel!" Emiko screamed. "What?" Daisuke's voice hollered back, in demand of an answer. Emiko slammed upon the brakes, the car stopped. The momentum continued throwing the woman forward toward the windshield at forty miles per hour.
Daisuke woke up in a daze, and continued his morning activities. Quickly he whisked himself out of the door heading towards school. When he arrived at the school yard, a pair of arms wrapped themselves tightly around him. The figure pressed their face into his chest, as if afraid of letting go. "Oh Daisuke!" Riku cried. The red headed boy felt water soak his shirt through, drenching his skin. "Riku what's wrong?" He asked worriedly wrapping his arms around the hysterical girl.
Snow drifted around the couple, silence spilting through the air. Riku continued to weep, as Daisuke lovingly smoothed her hair. It looked as though she had been a rush, and hurried through the door all too quickly this morning. "Shh.." He tried his best to soothe the girl, but he himself shook. He had never done anything like this before. He held her tighter, protectively. "Kiyo-ko. She g-got.." Riku managed to sputter out. "Kiyoko got what?"
"Kiyoko got hit by a car. Actually your mom hit her."
Daisuke turned to meet the fierce, cold eyes of Satoshi. "What?" Daisuke demanded, his voice cracking. "Your mom pretty much ran her over last night. They say it was an accident but.." Satoshi's voice trailed off as he studied Daisuke's reactions to this all. The boy was awestruck. But, what did your mom mean by, "I just hit an angel?" Dark questioned silently.
Satoshi was greatly angered by the news, as he walked down the halls to the classroom. The blue haired boy walked in warily, his boy sore from Krad's latest energy drain. The room seemed so empty with the midnight blue haired girl by his side. He had gotten the call early this morning, just as he was preparing for another usual day of school. Satoshi remembered quite clearly as he looked at the watch upon the wall. Usually the only time he would bother to glance at it was to catch Kiyoko doodling upon her notebook in the corner of his eye. 10:47. She's probably on her way back to Nagoya..
By ten thirty, he was told, Kiyoko would be on a plane being shipped back to her parents. Her parents were genuinely worried and wanted her out of danger for the next few weeks. Already he missed her. He smiled flashed within his mind as he tried desprately to shake off the thought. Persistently though, her smile and ice colored eyes wouldn't leave his mind..
Such innocent eyes..
Her eyes suddenly had a memory resurface. That girl. Ki. Krad had attacked her almost mercilessly that night. A sudden rush of resentment came upon Satoshi. As he had said when the two first began working with one another, the two came upon an agreement, to go on without hurting anyone. Already that was broken.
Someone had lost their life.
How could you..
Shrugging the though off, Satoshi looked down upon the book, realizing he had already missed half the class. The only thing he had written down, was Kiyoko's name all over the paper. Quickly, he tore the page, and crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it into the waste basket.
Why, why do you choose now to leave me?
Yes, it was Kiyoko, who Emiko hit. Sorry, if there's another cliffhanger for you guys. Up next is a timeskip right up to about New Years. And before I forget, remember that dress from Chapter 9 The Death of an Angel, that Ki wore? Well I kind of based the dress off of Kiari's dress from Kindom Hearts 2, but with a lot more straps.
Preview of what's to come..
"Maybe, we're just not meant to be.."
"Am I just a pawn to you? Your trophy?"
"I can't believe I ever trusted you.."
"Love is just a word to me.."
"Why can't you just believe me?"
"My weakness is that I care too much.."
"You're back to rip out my heart aren't you?"
