Chapter 5

Back in the room where Daisuke was Dark said, "Dai-Chan, don't we have something to tell Emiko?"

"Huh?" Daisuke asked than remembered. "Oh yeah. Mom, Dark and I are, well, we're together," Dai blushed a bit at this.

"Oh, Dai-Chan," Dark said. "You're so cute when you blush!" and he quickly kissed the red angel on the lips.

"Dark!" Daisuke said to the black angel angrily. He couldn't believe Dark would kiss him so soon after they told his mom that they were together.

"What?" Dark asked all too innocently. "Is there something wrong, Dai-Chan?"

Daisuke sighed. "No, nothing's wrong."

"If you say so Dai-Chan," Dark looked at Emiko. "So, have anything to say? I mean, Dai-Chan did just confess that we're gay and that we're together."

Emiko squealed and nodded happily. "I'm so happy for you both! I don't care about my son being gay, as long as he's happy."

Daisuke became more confident. "Then I shouldn't- no, won't listen to what anyone has to say about us." He then leaned in and kissed Dark who smiled at the younger boy's words.

BREAK

A few days later, Daisuke was released from the hospital and was back at school. Satoshi returned as well and Dark, of course, joined them (mainly Daisuke). Whispers were heard about Satoshi's wings. They responded the same as when Daisuke got his wings. The only thing that was different was how Dark had his arm wrapped around Daisuke's waist. "Dark," Daisuke said, "you don't have to hold me like this. I'm not going anywhere."

"I know," came the reply. "But I like to hold you. Why? Don't you like it?"

"It's not that. It's just, people are staring."

"I thought you didn't care what people thought. I know I don't," Dark aid kissing Dai's cheek.

"Okay, I guess I do care a little bit, but promise that you won't make it too obvious that we're together?"

"Fine," Dark sighed smiling. Daisuke wasn't sure if he was being serious or not. Even though he had known Dark almost all his life, he had always been hard to read.

"Are you being serious Dark?" Daisuke asked.

"Yeah Dai-Chan," Dark said smiling gently, "I am being serious, for once." He laughed. Daisuke laughed with him. He looked at the time. "Oh shit!" he said. "Class is about to start!" They both rushed to the art room.

BREAK

"Sorry we're late," Dark told their teacher. "There were some… technical difficulties."

The teacher cocked her head. "Oh? Like what? What could possibly you two especially late for my class?"

"Um," Daisuke started before Dark answered. He always had some excuse in mind.

"How should I put this?" Dark pondered for a few seconds then said, "Hikari, I mean Hiwatari, grew wings and we got stuck in the middle of a questioning mob."

The teacher's eyes lit up. "Really? When? How?" she rushed over to the two a bombarded them with questions.

"To start," Daisuke said rather loudly, "I don't know how, but I have a theory. The whole class leaned in as if it would help them hear. "When I was with Dark and we were fighting Krad-"

"Who's Krad?" someone asked.

"Let me finish," Daisuke said. "I got hit by Krad and was knocked unconscious. I guess I almost died. Luckily for me Satoshi somehow grew wings and caught me before I could hit the ground. Dark was keeping Krad distracted the whole time. I think the wings grew to save me. Anyway, I owe him and dark so much."

"Dai-Chan, I think you're getting a bit weird," Dark aid laughing a bit.

"Shut up Dark," Daisuke muttered.

"All right everyone," the teacher said. "It's time to get to work. Today you can paint whatever you want." The class started chattering excitedly. "As long as it's appropriate!"

BREAK

After a while of painting, Dark leaned over and asked Daisuke, "What are you painting? You've been concentrating really hard on that."

"Nothing," Daisuke aid quickly. "It's not that good."

"That's not true I'm sure," Dark said. "It's probably better than mine." He leaned over further in attempt to get a better view of what his boyfriend was painting. "Is that… me?" he asked surprised.

"Um," Daisuke said, "I couldn't think of anything else to paint."

Dark laughed and said, "Well I think it's great. I'm flattered."

"Since you saw mine I get to see yours," Daisuke replied. He leaned over and looked at Dark's painting. It was of him. It was also very good and was probably as good as his. "Wow Dark, that's really good. I'm not surprised since you're an art thief. You've been in contact with so many artists' works that you combine multiple art styles to create your own. That's my guess."

Dark smiled and said, "Well I don't know what it is exactly. All I know is that I love you."

"I love you too, Dark." They both heard an 'ahem' from in behind them. They turned around only to find their teacher who was smiling at them.

"If you two are done working, then perhaps you wouldn't mind me seeing what you have painted," she said.

"Of course not," Dark said. "I think we would love having you critique our paintings." Daisuke smiled nervously and nodded. The teacher looked at their paintings, realizing that they were of each other. She almost squealed at how cute that was.

"Very good, you two," she said. "I don't think I have anything to correct on either painting."

"Thank you, Sensei," Daisuke said. The teacher nodded and walked away smiling.

"Daisuke," Dark said suddenly and very seriously. Daisuke looked up. Two things were very wrong. One: Dark almost never called him 'Daisuke' unless something was wrong. And two: Dark was rarely serious. Something was up.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Daisuke," Dark aid again, "we have to find Krad to prevent him from brining hell to earth. We have to seal him."

"But how can we find him?" Daisuke said. "We have no clues as far as his location. We'll never track him down."

Dark winked. "We can't, but he can." To answer Daisuke's confused look he added, "Hiwatari." Dark lowered his voice. "Hiwatari was Krad's tamer. Like Hiwatari, Krad is still a Hikari artwork. He will always return to his creator for whatever reason. As for me, I'm different. I won't get into that right now. Right now we have to find Hiwatari. He can lead us to Krad."

BREAK

It was after school and Dark and Daisuke were looking for Satoshi. It didn't take long. Krad was harassing a group of teenage kids with Satoshi flying around him trying to distract him. "Krad!" Dark yelled angrily. His other half looked up from the cowering teens. The little distraction was all Satoshi needed to give Krad a powerful kick in the head. The blonde fell and Daisuke coaxed the petrified teens out of the line of fire. They ran like they were being chased by a murderer, which, in a sense, they were.

"Niwa!"Satoshi said. "What are you doing?"

"I need to talk to you, Hiwatari. We found out that we can seal Krad without sealing Dark." Satoshi froze almost falling out of the sky from, Daisuke guessed, shock. He quickly regained his composure. "We don't know how, but we know we can."

"Well we should find out how," Satoshi said.

With Dark

"Krad! I thought you were after me!" Dark said. "Why go after a group of teenage kids?!"

Krad only laughed. "I need something to entertain me when you're not here. They just happened to be walking by. It's not my fault."

"Not your fault?!" Dark growled. "How is it not your fault? You don't have to fight with everyone you see!"

"Dark, I think you're overreacting. They should know better than to get in my way in the first place."

Dark noticed one of the teens coming out of the safe zone and into the open. "Takeshi! Move!" Dark yelled, hoping to get to the boy before Krad. Unfortunately, he didn't and Takeshi had no time to run. He was hit hard by one of Krad's feathers to the face. Takeshi fell, bleeding from his nose and ears. "Takeshi! Takeshi!" No answer. "Krad," Dark aid slowly. "You will pay for that." Dark charged straight at Krad, ready to kill.

Sister: I think that was rather short.

Dai: It was, but it was good.

Dark: *whining* Another cliffy! Why are they always cliffies!?

Sister: Stop whining!

Dark: Make me!

Sister: Fine, I will!

Sato: please ignore their childish behavior and review.

Sister & Dark: Who are you calling childish?!

Sato: Shoot. Got to go. *runs away*

Sister: No one loves me! Except my readers! Love ya!
