Dai scooted back towards Satoshi and sat still in stiff fear. Satoshi started to hum an old bedtime tale that they both knew (dont ask what) and it seemed to calm Dai some.
"It's okay, Niwa-kun. Im right here. Darks there in youre mind. We'll both keep you safe. Youre okay." He said calmly as he pulled Dai against him.
His right arm was around Dai's shoulders and Dai's head was on his shoulder, albeit stiffly from fear. "Hiwatari-kun?"
"Yeah?" He was staring avidly at the storm outside but looked at Dai when he didnt cometinue on. "What is it?" His voice was soft and comforting.
"Why help me? Why comfort me? We're enemies."
"No. Thats where your wrong. Dark and Krad are enemies. We're just caught up in a web of fate. In my belief we need to stick together through this, so neither Dark or Krad has the upper hand." He gave Dai a little smile before turning back to the window.
'As long as I wear this necklace, I can keep Krad in check. I keep this necklace on and he stays in a coma like state. He cant see or hear anything I do.'
"Hiwatari?"
"Yeah?"
"Krad hasnt come out lately. Is he gone?"
"No, Niwa-kun. He cant be sent away. He's like Dark. I have to have feelings returned."
"You have a lot of girls who would do anything for you."
"I dont like them that way."
"I guess you wont tell me who you like?"
"No, Niwa-kun. For once Ill keep that a secret from you."
"Then tell me, Hiwatari-kun, how are you controlling Krad so well?"
"This necklace," He pulled a simple chain with a little dragon pendant on it out from under his shirt. "Puts him in a coma like state as long as I wear it. Theres one problem with it. It doesnt work on full or quarter moons. I'd like to ask something of you, Niwa-kun."
"What is it?"
"When it comes time for Krad to be out Id like you to keep the necklace so he cant destroy it. Its all i have to keep him under control."
"Yeah Hiwatari-kun. I can keep it for you. Its the least I can do to help you in the fight against Krad."
"Thank you so much, Niwa-kun." Their light converstaion couldnt continue because another bolt of lightning flickered across the sky and for poor Dai it hit the telephone pole that they could se through the window across from them.
Dai whimpered and shook even more under Satoshi's arm. He looked completly terrified, even more terrified than the time Krad had appeared before him.
"Niwa-kun, its okay. You're okay." Satoshi said trying to calm Dai again.
'Dai.' Dark called.
'Y-yeah Dark?' Even in his mind he was scared.
'Creepy-boy is TRYING to comfort you.'
'Sorry? Im just really scared Dark.'
'I know, Dai, I know. Its better you out than me and that you dont sit in the corner of my mind.'
'I know you did it for the best Dark but Im still scared.'
"Niwa-kun?"
"Sorry. Talking to Dark."
"You had me worried there for a minute. I thought you had completly lost it for a second when you wouldnt reply and kept shaking."
"I-I worried you, Hwatari-kun? Im sorry."
"Dont you worry about it Niwa-kun. I'm going to go over there," He pointed to the couch close to the wall on their right. "To bring that couch over here, Okay? If you need me just say something. Ill come back if you need me here, kay?"
Dai nodded and sat up to let Satoshi get up. Satoshi gave him a reassuring smile before going to the wall to drag the couch over. His back was towards Dai and Dai could see his back muscles bulge from the strain. The couch was heavier than it looked and it was infront of a window.
After gnawing on his lip a second Dai stood up and tentatively walked to the side opposite Satoshi on the couch, right infront of the middle of the window.
"Niwa-kun?" Satoshi was amazed he was there across from him.
That was when he saw the beginning of a fork of lightning head toward the window Dai was standing infront of. Satoshi lept forward, grabbed Dai, pushed him down on the couch and covered him with his own body.
"Dont look, Niwa-kun." He said in Dai's ear as he whimpered. "Its okay im here."
With that the lightning smashed the window and shot above them and slammed into the wall where Dai's head had been when then were sitting.
Satoshi sat up off of Dai and helped him sit. Dai's eyes went wide when he saw the scortch mark in the wall. He then looked to Satoshi, who had saved him.
He swallowed hard and hugged Satoshi tightly before bursting into tears. Between his tears Satoshi heard 'thank you...risked your life...for me...so grateful.'
Satoshi smiled at the top of Dai's head and hugged him back just as fiercely. 'I almost lost my only friend there. Almost lost everything in one bolt of lightning.' He almost broke into tears then too because he was so relieved.
"Come now, Niwa-kun. We'd better move this before anything else comes." Dai sat up fast, wiped his tears away and stod up. "You push and Ill pull."
They both had to use all of their strength to move the couch to the wall they were against. Both agreed they would keep the back facing the broken window.
"Sit down, Niwa-kun. Ill get your bag from under the window." Dai sat down and tuned to watched Satoshi walk toward the window.
Dai's hands covered his mouth. "Satoshi!" Satoshi was surprised when Dai said his name and had turned toward Dai, who was running toward him across the room.
Holy Bologna! am I gonna kill Satoshi, one of the hottest guys in the world? What am i gonna do? Oh wait I STILL know b/c im cool and am the authoress
