Chapter Two:A New Kid And An Old Friend
By:Spindelsun727
Kouichi looked around him.He was in a forest...a dark forest.Water was thundering in the distance and the sounds of crickets chirping in the background.Suddenly the bushes shook and a brown dog came out.No not a dog.A wolf.The brown fur was as brown as mud and wood.Kouichi couldn't even make him become something like that.
The wolf stared at Kouichi for what seemed like an eternity and surprised him by turning into a boy with black hair and brown eyes.Something about those eyes made him calm though, some what like Diekeeo's green eyes.Trusting and caring.And something else that he couldnt quite place.
"Kouich,"he said softly"I think I have found him.The one that I've been searching for ever since we were five years old."
Kouichi stared at him in confusion, but the sound of this boys voice sounded familiar in a way.When Kouichi blinked the boy was gone and Kouichi woke up to the sound of his dads voice booming in the background, telling him to wake up.He rubbed his eyes and got dressed, wearing Diekeeo's favorite shirt.He wanted to tell him something.Something very important.
Then he relized who the boy was from his dreams.The voice, the hair, the eyes.It reminded him of...Dereck.
Kouichi was at the train station.Late again.He was definally going to get a suspension now.His dad was going to kill.There was a boy on the train when he got on the train.He kept staring at him the whole time.The boy glanced over and then Kouichi moved his gaze to the floor.
Off the train, he saw that the boy was going in the direction of his school.He was about to go talk to him when out of nowhere, Diekeeo ran out of a bush, pass the boy and to Kouichi, pulling on his arm and telling him to hurry up or he was going to be late again.As he passed by the black haired boy, Diekeeo glared at him and the boy smiled at him.

The class room was pretty wild that morning before the bell rang for class to start.They were all talking about the new kid.What he might look like and if he was hot or not.But what got Kouichi;s attenion the most was that the new kid had no family and was ussualy getting turned in to the orpanage to be adopted but had always out smarted them.It had always remineded him of Dereck.
Flashback
Two boys around the age of four years old chased one another.One boy had navy blue eyes and blackish blue hair.The other had golden yellow hair and green eyes.They both stopped their game off tag to catch their breaths.But the golden haired boy heard something.He straitened up to listen in the distance.
"Kouichi,"whispered the golden haired boy,"Do you hear that?"
The boy with black hair, Kouichi, also stratained up to listen.In the alley next to them they could hear someone crying.
"Who or what do you think it is Diekeeo?"said Kouichi a bit concerned.
"I don't know,"said the golden haired boy named Diekeeo."But whatever it is, I promise I will protect you, no matter what it is."
Kouichi gripped onto Diekeeo's arm tightly as they went into the alleyway.The farther they went, the louder the crying got.When they reached the sound, they saw a boy with black hair, crying in the corner of one of the alleyway walls.
"Hey.Are you okay?"Diekeo asked gently, putting a hand on the boys shoulder.The boy jerked away but Diekeeo tightened his grip on the boys shoulder to where he couldn't get away.The boy turned his horrified brown eyes to both boys.
"Don't be afraid.We just want to help you."Kouichi smiled down at the boy sweetly."Whats your name?"
"D-D-Dereck."said the boy.
"Okay.Don't worry were going to help you."He got up and was about to grab the Derecks hand when suddenly he tried to get away again.
"Please!Don't take me to them!Don't let them find me!I don't want to go to them!"Dereck started yelling.His crying got worse and by then he was balling his eyes out.
"What?"Kouichi asked confused.
"Who?Who don't you want us to tell that your here?And why?"Diekeeo asked.
"The police."He cried."If they find me, then they'll take me to the orphanage."
"Why would they do that?"Diekeeo asked.
"B-Because, my parents are dead.They were killed in a car accident with my baby sister.I was the only surviver and I have no family that wants me.They all hate me.They want nothing to do with me."Dereck whipered a bit.
Kouichi and Diekeeo glanced at each other and Diekeeo finally said,"Okay.We wont let the police find you.We promise.C'mon and i'll take you to Kouichi's house."
Dereck looked up at Kouichi and gave him a small nod of his head.Kouichi helped him stand and Diekeeo made sure that no one saw them or was following them.By the time they got to Kouichi's house, his mother, Takera, saw him and put him in Kouichi's bed.His mom's boy friend just watched and glared at Kouichi and Diekeeo for bringing the boy there.
About two years later, Dereck was missing.All that Kouichi found that was proof Dereck wasn't kidnaped was a letter from Dereck to Kouichi:
Dear Kouichi,
I cant really explain why I am gone.Perhaps its because I have a feeling that I have had ever since that day I watched my mother die in the hospital bed.I had a feeling that some one was there with me.And when I they were about to put me into the orphanage, a boy named Kouji Minamoto from the past came to me saying that every thing would be all right and that he would always look after me through heart.Im not quiet sure what he ment but he said that me and him were ment to be together.
I have gone to find him and I hope that I will see you again some day.Sorry I am going to miss your party next week so I am giving you your present now.It's in the drawer and its a necklace with a piece of a dragon's tooth and the tip of a Unicorn's horn, well thats what it's believed to be.I hope you like it and tell Diekeeo that I said bye to him too.Please dont show or tell anyone about this letter, I dont want them looking for me agian.Thank your mom for me too.Kay?Luv u through friendship.
-----Dereck.
P.S:Wish me luck buddie.Hope to see you soon.
End of Flashback
Tears formed in Kouichi's eyes as he thought of the memorie.The bell rung and everyone got back to there seats.The teacher told everyone to settle down and he started speaking,"Alright children, I know that your all excited to meet our new student so we are going to give him a warm welcome.His name is Dereck,and he's going to be here for a short time but he might stay for the whole in Dereck."
Every one cheered as he walked in and every one was complaining over how cute he was."Why don't you go sit next to Kouichi."
Kouichi bolted up right in his chair.Dereck walked over to him and sat down in the seat next to him.Kouichi heard a light growl come from Diekeeo, but didn't pay any attention.Dereck looked over at Kouichi and smiled lightly.Kouichi blushed at him.It really was him.The boy from his dreams, and the boy from so long ago that disappeared when they were only six...was back.
"Hey.How have you been ... Kouichi"Dereck asked.
Kouichi wanted to cry right there but he couldn't because then every one would stare at him.
"Um...um...I-I'm f-f-ine.How about you?"Kouichi stutered.
"Hm.I'm alright."
By the time school was over, he totally forgot to tell Diekeeo the important thing.He sighed.He would just have to do it tomorrow.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Kouichi had stopped by the coffee shop before he went home and ended up bumping into Dereck.They both got a latt'e and talked about when they were little and on how Dereck was able to speak to him in his dreams.
"Have you found him yet?The boy from long ago, when we were kids?"Kouichi asked nevousley.
Dereck looked down and whispered,"No, no I haven't found him yet.But I am still looking."
Kouichi smiled.It had been so long since they had a conversation like this before.
"I should be going home soon."Kouichi said, grabbing his coat and getting up.Dereck pushed in his chair too before saying,"Why don't I walk you home?"
Kouichi blushed a bit but it was always normal for Dereck to ask him that.He nodded his thanks and they walked.
It wasn't a long walk there.They had just past a few stores and they were there.They had stopped by the CD Store.Dereck had bought Kouichi a DVD and a CD along with a CD Case.On the CD Case it had a little fox with angel wings on the front and on the back it had a picture of a little fox with demon wings.As soon as they got to the house, Dereck stared up at the mansion and gave a long low whistle in amazment.
"Wow."
Kouichi giggled at Derecks coment."So were do you live at Dereck?"
"Oh you know, here and there.Still hinding from them.You know, I mean like since my parents died and my family didn' t want me."
"You want to spend the night here or something like that?"
Dereck shook his head no and looked at Kouichi.Brown orbs met blue ones and they didn't look away until Dereck looked behind him down the hill towards an abondoned warehouse that no one was using.
"Cant.I might be staying so I have to set up my stuff here until I leave for America and --"
"What!America!Why are you going to--"
Dereck put a finger on Kouichi's lips."If I dont find him here then I have to look for him there then.I have no choice but to do that one thing."
"B-But it's not fair.I haven't seen you in ten years and you just got here."
"It's an 'if' answer.Not an 'I am going strait away' answer.And if I never find him then I'll come back home and we can hang out like we used to."Dereck sighed."I have to go now.I'll see you later and tell Diekeeo I'm not trying or wanting to steal anything for him.Kay?Bye."
Dereck walked away but Kouichi was confused.
"Wait what do you mean!"
But Dereck just waved his hand at him."He'll know what I mean when you tell him."And in a flash, Dereck was gone.Kouichi smiled at the spot where he had vanished until his dad opened the door.
"Who was that?"Rich asked.
Kouichi just smiled and shook his head noone.He walked in the door with his dad watching him the whole time and then shut the door to go back to his movie.Alferd, one of the four butlers, took Kouichi's coat and shoes, hanging up Kouichi's coat.As soon as he walked into the bedroom he fell on the bed and thought about Dereck.He missed him a whole lot and never wanted him to leave.But then he thought maybe it was him who was meant to be with Dereck.He had forgotten the name of the boy mentioned in the letter.Although he thought that he still loved Diekeeo.His silky golden hair and his soft green eyes...he loved everything about him.He wondered...
Could he love Dereck or Diekeeo?
A/N:Note to self and others...Never, I repeat, never listen to a sad anime song and type something sd in your storie at the same time.I think I was listening to one of the Final Fantasy Theme Songs and typing the letter from Dereck to Kouichi at the same time and I was almost set to tears.Or was it Sango's Theme from InuYasha?Oh well.Anyways I hope you likethis chapter and sadly enough I can not metion the mysterious boy anymore because he is Dereck but the real sad part is that Dereck doesn't have a last name cause he forgot what it was.His parent's did die when he was like four or five.Anyways there is only two butlers and two maids and their names are Alferd, Butch, Maria, and Sarah.They would do anything for Kouichi and Rich.At the end of y next chapter I will include their profiles, kay?Well I have to go to bed in a few minutes so bye!(It's 8:44 incase you wanted to now when me bed time is.)
