Chapter 11

Elevator music was playing in a warm room. The only other sound that could be heard besides the music was the heater. It may have also been warm because he was wearing a blanket. Who knew? At the moment, Daisuke couldn't really tell or care. He pushed himself off the hard bed he was laying on and wiped his eyes. A woman, most probably the nurse, sat at a desk, typing on a computer. Next to him was Satoshi. He was reading a book that was covering his face and bushy red hair.

Daisuke went to open his mouth but was stopped when Satoshi's hand pushed him back down on the bed. "Relax."

"But Sato-"

"I said relax." Satoshi pushed him down again. His eyes never left the book. The woman sat up and clapped her hands together.

"Good! I see you're awake!" She turned out to have a sweet voice. Wasn't that part of the nurse's job application? "Must be kind. gentle and caring.". The woman grabbed a clipboard and asked, "How are you feeling? Do you know why you passed out? Have you been feeling sick at all for the past couple days? Is there anyone you want to pick you up?"

He quickly went through all the questions in his head. "I'm feeling alright. I have no idea. I've been a little tired and-"

"And his father is out of town so no one can pick him up." The nurse tilted her head, wondering why Satoshi had answered for him. She just figured they were best friends so she let it pass.

"Do you want to go home or stay?"

"I think I'll stay here." Daisuke gave her a smile and stood up. "Him...uh, Daisuke can help me the rest of the day." The younger boy pointed to Satoshi and chuckled. "Thank you, miss." Taking his books, Daisuke went ahead and walked out of the office. The nurse watched him leave and giggled, hiding her blush. "So handsome..." She murmured.

How many times had he been in there? He wondered. Too many times for Daisuke to remember. "Alright! Back to class!" But he felt his exhaustion kicking in again. He legs began to give up on him and Daisuke leaned against the wall. "Wow...these books are heavy!"

Satoshi watched, rolling his eyes. He knew what was wrong with him. Satoshi placed his arm on the wall, right next to Daisuke's head. Daisuke seemed surprised but didn't have the energy to show it. The books started falling to the floor as Satoshi closed in. "Stop acting like everything's ok. It's been over a month."

"I know, we have to return to normal. All I wanted to ask was-" Daisuke yawned, almost ignoring the fact that Satoshi was inches from him.

"Why you're getting tired?" The red head backed away and let out a deep breath. "Follow me." Satoshi tugged on Daisuke's arm, basically dragging him to the restroom. Satoshi made sure no one was in the restroom and set Daisuke on the wall. "Now listen. The reason you're getting so tired is because all the magic Krad uses is starting to affect you." Daisuke lazily nodded, showing that he was listening. "This cuts down our time to try and switch back."

"Ok, but we already checked the computers. There's no way we've found to return to our normal bodies." Daisuke said quietly. He was getting even sleepier by the minute. Dai was just fighting to stay awake. Satoshi's face was scrunched in a worried look.

"Exactly. We need to work harder." Satoshi let go of Dai and stated pacing around. "There has to be a way, there just has to."

"After school," yawned Daisuke. "Let's go talk to my dad. I think he's been studying a lot."

Satoshi agreed. He noticed Daisuke was getting weaker so he caught him. The older boy brought his back to class.

The teacher let Daisuke sleep in class because "Mr. Hiwatari" was sick. All of Satoshi's fan girls were sad that he was sick. During lunch they all came up to him, offering treats, medicine or other random things like a pillow or sweatshirt. The worried Satoshi next to him watched them all. But he was not worried about them, he was worried about Daisuke. The boy seemed to be getting worse by the minute.

Daisuke felt like he was almost about to fall asleep. Plus, the girls continuous bugging was annoying. He was just about to let his eyes close when he felt something hit his lips. Trying to raise his head, Daisuke looked to see what it was.

"You need to eat. It will help you keep your energy up." Satoshi said, taking a bite of an apple. "I say that bottle of water, the sandwich and cookie will do right now." He pointed out as Daisuke looked like he couldn't decide to eat.

The fan girls squealed, seeing their beloved was eating their food.

"Are we sure they didn't infect this with some love potion?" Daisuke whispered, biting the sandwich.

"They don't know about that power." Chuckled Satoshi.

Two thumps were heard by Daisuke and he lazily turned his head to his left. The twins crossed their legs, their worried expressions didn't phase on their face. "Is...Satoshi going to be alright?" Risa asked.

"Yeah, he was up all night studying." Explained Satoshi, trying not to meet her eyes.

"I know! That stupid geometry test was hell! Stupid quadratic whatever and stuff!" Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Risa huffed.

Riku raised an eyebrow. "Anyway..." She looked towards Satoshi. "Hey Daisuke, would you like to walk home with me tonight?"

"But I have to-"

"Don't worry, Satoshi will be fine." Riku winked. Risa immediately turned her head, blushing and Satoshi got the clue to what was going on.

"I still don't think that's a good idea." Satoshi shook his head. This defiantly was not good. Risa would try to admit how much she loves Satoshi to Daisuke. "Satoshi may fall asleep on the way there and I don't think Risa's willing to carry Satoshi a few miles."

"I get it..." Riku cried out, crossing her arms. "You just don't want to walk with me."

A sudden force from his friend pulled Satoshi down. He faced the tired Daisuke nibbling on his cookie. "Tell her, 'I'm just worried about my friend here. I'll walk with you. Meet me in front of the cherry tree in front of the school.' "

"But-"

"Satoshi, please just do it." Daisuke yawned.

Satoshi repeated Daisuke's words and Riku seemed to be much more relieved. The twins were a weird group of girls.

"I'll meet you there too, Satoshi!" Risa exclaimed, grabbing her books.

"See you guys after school!" Following her sister, Riku chased after the girl.

From the corner of his eye, Satoshi saw Daisuke get up and crumble his wrappers. He put the remaining food in his bag and faced Satoshi. "I'm glad school's almost over. Today's been really long." He let out a weak laugh.

Satoshi gave a fake smile. He put his hand on Daisuke's back and pushed him, guiding him to his class. Satoshi hated the sinking feeling in his heart. He had never meant for everything to happen this badly. He never wanted to hurt Daisuke like this.

What a conflict we've gotten ourselves into. Krad chuckled. Daisuke could barely pay attention to him but Krad forced his attention to Daisuke. Are you enjoying yourself?

I'm tired, exhausted and annoyed and it's all because of you.

Dark did tell you to act more Satoshi and now you are. Congrats, my boy! Krad chuckled at himself.

Daisue growled at the angel and tried to raise his head. "Satoshi, I'm sorry." Daisuke told him. Satoshi turned his head at the blue haired boy and cocked his head.

"You didn't do anything."

"I'm making you worry."

"You don't have to be sorry. You're just returning the favor." Satoshi wrapped his arm around Dai.

"Satoshi, Satoshi, Satoshi!" Risa jumped up and down happily. Riku leaned against the tree next to her. Once she noticed Daisuke coming, she stood up straight and smirked. "Over here, Satoshi!"

Satoshi blushed while Daisuke let out a soft smile and waved. Daisuke went over their agreement in his head quickly. They agreed to three things. One was to seem frantic so the girls would know they were still interested in them but they did not want to do anything with them. Two was to not let the girl get close to them in anyway. Three was to do nothing more than a hug goodbye.

The older boy also told Daisuke that he would try to get over to his house to guide Daisuke back to the Niwa's house as quickly as he could.

"Could you guys take any longer?" Riku chuckled.

"You can't forget who I'm taking care of." Satoshi nodded his head toward the hanging Daisuke.

"I'll take good care of him." Risa stood up straight and put her hands behind her back.

Satoshi glanced down at Daisuke. He looked up at Satoshi's for a minute. At that moment, Satoshi almost dropped his friend. For a second, it looked like Daisuke lost the "Daisuke" look in his eyes. After a minute, Daisuke fought his way up. Smiling at everyone, he shrugged and said, "See? I'll be fine until I get home just fine." He paced over to Risa.

Riku tread over to Satoshi. "I'll see you at home!" She waved. The two groups split up.

The girl would not let her grip loosen on Satoshi's hand, even though he was praying she did. "So, Daisuke...what are you doing later?"

"Umm...checking up on Satoshi. Making sure he's eaten and things like that."

"Why don't you just send him to a hospital?" Riku asked. Satoshi could almost read her thoughts from the look on her face. She thought that he took care of "Satoshi" so much. He should just worry about his self and only him.

"It's nothing that severe. He's just exhausted." Satoshi said, trying not to sound rude or anything. "Plus, would you really trust the hospital? I heard they test more things on you while you're sleeping than they're supposed to. It doesn't sound safe."

"Do they really?" Riku gasped, putting her hands together. "I never knew they did that!"

Satoshi shrugged. He did not know if they actually did that or not but it was all he needed to get her off his back. "So..." He tried to think of something Daisuke would say. "So...wasn't Mr. Tamayuki's test really hard?"

"Yeah! I can't believe he put those stupid questions like..." Riku's voice began to drift off as Dark butted in.

Why are you laughing, Dark?

This SO sucks for you. You have to act like Daisuke the whole way home. Dark tried to suppress his laughter. I had to do it once with this girl and damn, is it hard. May God have mercy on your soul, I'm going to sleep.

Satoshi shook his head, think Dark was just an idiot.

"Is something wrong?" Riku asked.

"I'm sorry, I kind of just spaced out. Satoshi's heavy." He chuckled, Riku did as he did.

The two looked up and noticed that they were in front of the Niwa house. "Wow...that was...really fast." Satoshi admitted, scratching the back of his neck.

"It was..." Riku agreed. "Well then, I'll talk to you tomorrow." She suddenly jumped on him, hugging him tightly. A minute later, Riku waved goodbye, smiling brightly.

Satoshi shook his head and thought for a minute. He tried to think of the quickest way to get to his house from the Niwa house. Satoshi started running down the streets, turning a corner every now and then. In ten minutes, he was at his house. Satoshi let out a breath of relief. That was not as long as he thought as it would be.

He went to walk out to the apartment building but then stopped. Daisuke and Risa were standing outside, saying their farewells. A giggled could be heard through the air. Without a warning, in the blink of an eye, the two were lip locked. Satoshi's jaw dropped. What about what they agreed to? As Risa backed away, Satoshi noticed Daisuke was blushing furiously. He quickly looked away, cursing Daisuke.

But what Satoshi missed was Risa asking Daisuke, "Did that mean anything to you?" The boy shook his head.

"I apologize. It's too early for a kiss to matter. But you're a really nice person, Risa." Daisuke said. Solemnly, Risa gave Dai a nod. She waved her hand and stepped away from the door. Daisuke unlocked Satoshi's door a collapsed on his couch. "My body aches and it won't move." He said to himself. "How am I supposed to get to my house?"

"What was that about?" His own voice whispered in his ear. A normal persons head would have whipped around but Daisuke's slowly turned.

"What was what about?" Daisuke questioned. He used the couch as a crutch and stared lazily at Satoshi.

"I thought we agreed that we weren't going to do anything past hugging." Satoshi tried to say calmly but a small amount of anger soaked in.

"We did." Nodding, Daisuke pushed himself to stay up.

"I just saw you kissing Risa." Growled Satoshi.

"She kissed me. I didn't want her to do it."

"But you were blushing." He added.

"So what? Anyone will blush when they're kissed."

"Really? I don't believe you." Satoshi rolled his eyes.

Daisuke did the same. Why was Satoshi being so stubborn? He could easily prove him wrong. In fact...

Satoshi suddenly felt weight on his chest and looked down. Daisuke struggled to stand up but when he did he softly kissed Satoshi on the lips. It only lasted for about three seconds. Once Daisuke backed away, Satoshi's face was as red as his hair.

"Wh-what on the world was that for?" Satoshi stuttered.

"See? You're blushing." smiled Daisuke.

"Well, because you're a guy and that's just...weird." Satoshi turned on his heel. He put his hand on his face, hoping to make his blushing go away.

"Is my point across?" Satoshi nodded. "Alright. So how are you going to get me to my house?"

There was a long silence.

"I never thought about that." Chuckled Satoshi. "Taxi's don't come back to this part of town and it takes forever for them to come if we call. My dad is out of town so none of the limo drivers are here. Walking is out of the question because it will be too hard and energy consuming so what else is there?"

They both put on their thinking faces. "The only person I know with a car is the Harada's butler. But...wouldn't it be rude to ask a friend to drive you somewhere without their benefit?" Daisuke said.

"Maybe...we could fly..." Satoshi quietly stated.

"But I don't have the energy to try and get wings."

"I never said you were going to use them." said Satoshi. "Would Wiz come for us?"

Daisuke shook his head. "No, only for Dark."

Sighing, Satoshi hung his head. "I have a small idea." Satoshi brought his eyes up to Daisuke. He immodestly got what Satoshi was talking about. "Is it ok?"

"...Just promise me you'll try to get to my house as fast as you can so you don't end up like me."

"I promise." Satoshi gave Daisuke a reassuring look. He treaded over to the wall and put one hand on it. Satoshi had learned to lean on something when doing this or else the pain could make you lose control and injure yourself. You could hurt yourself by falling into something or onto something.

Daisuke didn't want to watch. He did not have the stomach to watch this.

Summoning all the energy he needed, beads of sweat began to drip down Satoshi's face. Suddenly, an unbearable pain arose in his back. He groaned, squeezing his eyes shut. Another wave hit him and Satoshi fell to his knees, writhing in pain. Once the wings fought their way out, Satoshi winced. In a flash, two black wings shot out of his back.

Dai peeked from the corner. Satoshi was sitting on his knees, his arms wrapped around his body and he hung there, limp, for a few minutes. Finally, Satoshi pushed himself off the ground. Daisuke had a look of horror on his face. Not only was he frightened by the image, he was frightened that it was his body that now had to deal with heavy wings.

"These feel stiff." Satoshi flexed the wings on his back. He could not help but chuckle. Satoshi was making it sound like he was an expert with this kind of stuff.

"Satoshi, are you ok?"

"Not really. My back feels like an elephant decided to take a piggy back ride on me but I'm alive." Even though Satoshi's words sounded true, Daisuke was still worried.

"So..." Daisuke stepped towards Satoshi. He reached out his hands to touch the wings. "These are the real deal?" When Dai's fingers actually touched the black wings, Satoshi took in a sharp breath. "They hurt?"

Satoshi nodded solemnly. "But this is nothing big for me." Pulling himself up right, he walked slowly to his closet. Inside, there was a large variety of things. There were a few pieces of artwork, blankets, files and a box of random things. The one thing they all had in common was that they were dirty with dust. He snatched out a large white sheet and waved it around, getting rid of all the dust.

Daisuke coughed, the room was filling up witty the dust. "Don't you ever clean your apartment?" Daisuke managed to say.

"Nope." Satoshi simply said. He opened a window to get the dust off. As Satoshi tried to walk to the door, he suddenly fell to the side.

"Satoshi, what are we doing? You're wasting your energy carrying those wings around." Daisuke argued, holding Satoshi up.

"Didn't think about that."

Satoshi grabbed Daisuke arm and yanked him by him. He wrapped the sheet around him and shot off in the air. "Oh, I get it...so no one can tell if it's us if they see us. Satoshi, you're smart." Giggled the boy.

He did not say anything, just flew. In a matter of minutes, Daisuke's house came into view. Once they touched down, Satoshi took off the sheet and Daisuke exclaimed, "We made it faster than I thought we could!". He glanced over to Satoshi to find the boy lying in the grass. "Satoshi!"

Getting back up to his feet, Satoshi dusted off his shirt. "My bad." He put up his finger to motion, "One minute." and walked behind the house.

While he did that, Daisuke knocked on his door. As if Kosuke was waiting by the door for him to return, the door instantly opened. "Hey Dai! How are you feeling?" His voice happily shouted. Kosuke then jumped out from behind the door.

"I've been feeling really tired but besides that, I'm fine." He gave his father a warm smile.

"Hey...where's Satoshi?"

"Right here." He came out from the corner. Suddenly, Kosuke looked taken back. Now, Satoshi was wearing Daisuke's smile. He looked like he could fool anyone. "How was your day, father?"

Kosuke cocked his head, eyes widened. Daisuke could tell why he was surprised. He never called his dad 'father'. He called him dad. Plus, Kosuke was not used to someone being formal.

I think you went just an itty bitty bit too far there, creepy. Dark told Satoshi.

"Come on in, you guys. Your mom made tacos." Kosuke guided the kids in.

Minutes later, they were all sitting at the table. Emiko happily brought the food to the table, Daiki sipped his tea, Kosuke closely watched the two boys and the two boys chatted about how Takeshi fell down the stairs earlier that day.

Something caught Daisuke's eye. Kosuke was holding something that looked like a shirt. "What's that?" Dai questioned.

"Nothing." The older man quickly slipped it under the table. Daiki seemed to notice too. Kosuke noticed had that look in his eyes, the look that said he won't give up. "Satoshi," He changed the subject. "You and Riku seemed cozy outside."

"You saw us?"

"Yeah, you two hugging seemed comfortable."

"Wait, what?" Butted in Daisuke.

Kosuke glanced at Daisuke with a weird look. His eyebrows were lifted and his upper lip curved. Satoshi suddenly gasped. He was doing this on purpose. Was it all to protect that thing he had in his hand? Why was it that Kosuke had to obfuscate everything he did?

Daisuke did not say anything for the rest of dinner. When he was finished, he stormed up to his room. Satoshi finished shortly after but he was a little scared to go upstairs and deal with Dai. He seemed like he was in a bad mood. Finally, Satoshi got past his fear and walked upstairs.

The younger boy was shuffling through his dressers. When Satoshi entered the room, Daisuke shot his a death glare. He stopped what he was doing and stomped up to Satoshi. "What did we agree to?"

"It was just a hug. Nothing big."

"My dad said "Cozy." Cozy is not just hugging. It's snuggling up and being close." Snapped Daisuke. Satoshi went to open his mouth and Daisuke suddenly slugged him. "I told Risa that the kiss did not mean anything. You get all cozy with my love!" He scowled, punching him over and over.

After a few more punches, Daisuke stopped. He bent over, catching his breath. Satoshi stood there. His head was turned and his cheek was beginning to swell. When Daisuke brought his head up, Satoshi said softly, "Are you finished?"

Daisuke's eyes widened. "...You're just going to let me get away with it."

"I guess you are." Satoshi straightened his head. He pulled off his shirt and looked through Daisuke's dressers, grabbing night clothes.

"But-"

"I'm making you go through all this. It's the least I can do." Satoshi dropped his pants. He put on pajama pants and snatched a pillow from his room. "Good night, Daisuke."

Daisuke's parents were already in their bedroom. Satoshi threw the pillow down and laid on it. He closed his eyes, hoping he could go to sleep as he could. Then, he remembered that they never got a chance to talk to Kosuke about getting back to normal.

"Why is it that you care more about that boy than Daisuke?" Emiko's voice could be heard,

"I'm not." her husband said calmly.

"Fine, then you are obsessed with the Hikari."

"No, I'm not." Kosuke had a little bit of a mocking tone in his voice.

"Right, that's why you took the shirt he changed out of because he used wings, then to cover it up, got the boys in a fight."

"It's all for research, honey."

"Ever think he does not have a mother for a reason?"

Ouch. Dark said, taking in a deep breath through his teeth. That was MEAN.

"You don't actually mean that, do you?" Kosuke questioned his wife.

There was a long pause. Then, Satoshi could hear give a big sigh and say, "No, I was just a little angry. I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. Come on. It's getting late. Good night."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

After that, there was not another sound from the two. Satoshi turned over on his other side to try to get in a more comfortable position. His eyes drooped closed but then his eyes snapped open. Taking a quick glance, it appeared that Satoshi dozed off for ten minutes. He went to turn again when he felt heavier. What in the world?

Satoshi bent up to see what was going on. There, on top of him, was the blonde, looking seductively at him. "Good to see you're awake, Master Satoshi."
