A/N: I'm not even going to apologize for my lateness, it should be expected by now...if anyone actually notices and reads my story. Anyways, onwards! Oh, and I'm thinking maybe I like third person better afterwards...
Title
Satoshi's POV
"Father."
"Satoshi."
Once I opened my door, I was greeted by the sight of him sitting cross legged on a chair. He nodded towards the chair across from him and I sat down.
"How are you doing in school?"
"I'm doing fine, father." He nodded again taking no heed to my tone.
"I've left something for you in your room." I'm expecting you to use it, he implied.
"Yes, father." He stood up to leave but at the doorway, he turned his head and completed his message.
"Oh, and Satoshi?" He hesitated for me to respond, but I just wanted him out of my house and stayed silent, "I'll be keeping an eye on you."
I felt anger build up inside of me but just let myself glare at him. Anything else would result in my punishment. Only he knows what would make me truly suffer.
I clenched my teeth when I saw what he gave me. It was a simple iron earring but it reeked of his magic. I hate his magic; I hate him.
I didn't have a pierced ear so I didn't see how I could wear it, but when I picked it up, I noticed a piece of paper underneath that was camouflaged by my white bed sheets. It said to put it on my ear. That helped me so much.
His magic was already making me nauseous. It usually takes longer to effect me so that means this must be really strong magic. Wonderful, I'm going to wear this earring all day. I suspect it'll take me a few days to get used to it.
I grabbed the edge of my bed for support as my body swayed. Finally, when I deemed it safe to move without vomiting all of my contents everywhere, I stood. I wanted nothing more than to lie down and sleep, but of course I knew I had to get to the bathroom and take my blood pills before then.
Slowly, I trudged to the medicine cabinet and once I had my nightly dose, I crawled into my bed and willed the squirmy feeling in my body to go away.
3rd Person(No one's point of view)
"Hey Daisuke, can you clean up the art room for me? My dad's bringing me to a jail to see some high ranking criminals and I have to be there."
"Huh, ok."
"Great, thanks I owe you one." Sahaera released Daisuke from the headlock he captured the red head in.
"You should have said no, trust me he's going to expect you to do it from now on." Daisuke turned towards the sound and smiled, it was Riku. "The first day he was put on clean up duty, he asked everyone to substitute for him because he wanted to see the site where someone stole an important painting. I took the job because he was so annoying and after that he kept asking me to do it whenever he had clean up duty. It took me a whole week to convince him I wasn't going to do it any longer. And also--."
"Hey don't listen to her, it's just for this time."
"Umm..."
"It won't be for just this time, he's going to ask you again."
"No I won't!!"
"Yes you will."
"Eh..."
"No I won't."
"Niwa-kun please tell me you're not going to accept."
"Come on Daisuke, don't you want to help your best friend? It's only one time and I absolutely have to go." Both classmates had stuck their faces in front of Daisuke who was blushing furiously from the attention.
"Eh, Harada-san it's ok, I don't have anything else to do today so I can help him." Saheara pumped his hand in the air while Riku just glared at him.
"Fine, it's not like it matters to me anyways." Riku turned around to leave but she felt something tugging her sleeves. She turned around and found Daisuke's face really, really, really close to her face, but his eyes were casted down and he didn't seem to notice it yet.
"I-I really do appreciate you trying to help me though." Finally Daisuke looked up and met her eyes and Riku felt her face warm up. She turned around quickly tring to put some distance between them and noticed that her heart was pounding.
"Y-yeah, w-whatever." She stomped out leaving a very well flushed red head who finally noticed how close they had been.
"Oh, Daisuke are you going to sit with us again today?" Sahaera practically popped into view.
"Uh, yeah sure." Daisuke was trying to get himself quickly out of his little stupor and noticed that his heart was beating rapidly.
"Everyone take your seats please," commanded the teacher.
"Daisuke sat down and waited for his face to return to normal.
Again he wasn't here. He knew that he shouldn't have cared, that he resolved not to care, but he did. If anything, his appearance made him realize he was lonely. Well at least if he didn't go to close to him he wouldn't really get dizzy. Whenever he thought about the boy, his head would buzz and even more so after he put on the iron earing. Who knew what would happen if he was in the presence of him again?
Well at least the earing was small and undetectable.
"So Hiwatari-kun is left alone again." I whipped my head around and glared at the incoming male.
"Mousy-senpai."
"So, where's the source of power that's not your's coming from?" Of course vampires would be able to sense the earring.
"Unless you've changed your mind and plan on telling me what I'm supposed to remember, leave me alone."
"Ah, so you've got yourself an earing?" Dark said ignoring Satoshi's demand. "I never thought you the type. But it does look good on you. That's a great idea on putting it on one ear, with your blue hair it gives you a bad boy look."
"Mousy." Satoshi was so annoyed, he didn't even bother to put on the honorific at the end of Dark's name. Dark knew that Satoshi knew Dark could tell the earing was not for decoration.
"Finally, you've dropped the honorific. I don't like being called by my last name, you should call me Dark to, after all we have been friends for a long time. Ok, Sato-chan?" Satoshi's eyes widen in surprise then he glared at Dark with all of his feelings. He immediately sprung up and thrust his open hand towards Dark.
Suddenly, a torrent of water from the fountain gushed out of the container and forked where Satoshi stood. One wave splashed to the ground in front of Dark. Then it spiraled up to a fine point close to his neck and proceeded to freeze from the bottom up when Satoshi tightly clenched his fist. The other wave appeared behind Dark and froze in a cave like shape at the same time as the other when Satoshi made his fist so Dark could not escape. All this happened in a few mere seconds.
"Even when attacking you still make things beautiful, eh Sato-chan." And it was true, the spiral was not smooth and plain but resembled a tornado that had blasted out of the ground and careless splatters protruding from the icicle only made it even more breath taking. The blooming like ice on the bottom that gave way to the main spike seem to present and complement it like the frame of a picture. The cave like ice was beautiful too with icicles pointing down and up to resemble jail bars. It's back was jagged which made the sun rays that shone on it glitter in many small pieces. It had around the same effect on the icicle in the front to. And of course when it was being created it was amazing as well.
"Do. Not. Call. Me. That." Satoshi ground out
"What, Sato-chan?" Dark said feigning innocence. The ice spire moved closer to Dark's neck.
"That." Satoshi's eyes were flashing with anger.
"Ok, ok, I won't call you that," Dark smirked, "how about just Satoshi then?" Satoshi visibly loosened his grip on the ice and his shoulders relaxed but did not remove the ice. After a moments hesitation though, he opened his fist and turned around. The sculpture like ice splashed down to the ground converted back into water.
"Fine, but never call me that again...ever." He raised his hand again towards the fountain and all the water on the ground near Dark bounded back into the fountain and settled down leaving a dry Satoshi and a drenched Dark.
"Aww, now you've got me all wet." Satoshi who had now sat back down ignored him. They stayed quite for a little longer while Dark turned into a black cat and tried to shake the water off his fur. Then something occurred to Satoshi.
"Mousy, can you shape shift into things other than black and white?" If he could, it would be a nuisance never knowing if an animal he met was Dark or not. Of course he could figure it out by sensing the magic but it would still be a nuisance having to think about sensing it.
Dark changed back into a human/vampire and his clothes were mostly dry. "Huh, no. I mean I can't change into something the color of white but I can change into things with dark colors. Why?" Dark stopped trying to get the water out of his ears and looked at Satoshi questioningly.
"Do you have any siblings that can shape shift like you except into light colors?." Then who was that white dove? He had around the same magic signature as Dark, but it was slightly different. And he was white.
"Eh, no. My family is human, I was turned into a vampire. Come to think of it, it's pretty ironic that you don't remember that fact, don't you think?" Satoshi narrowed his eyes, he knew that Dark was toying with the fact that he didn't remember something and Dark did.
"What do I not remember Mousy?" He asked irritatedly.
"Oops, I guess I let my tongue slip," he said in a way that suggested he did mean to say that just to annoy Satoshi. "And remember, don't call me Mousy or I won't tell you anything, and before you can capture me again, I'll just fly away again. I doubt you'll be fast enough to catch me."
"Why do you care what I call you?"
"Why do you care if I call you Sato-chan." Satoshi glared at Dark.
"It's insulting."
"Same reason."
"No it's not. In no way is it insulting to you when you honor someone."
"Nor is it when you show you're familiar with someone."
"That was going to far."
"And I think you don't have to go that far to be formal."
"That doesn't seem right."
"It's not."
"What?" Satoshi looked at Dark confusedly. "You just admitted it's not the same."
"It's not, I just don't want to be addressed like that."
"You had no problem with it before." Dark gave an annoyed look at Satoshi.
"You know, it would be so much easier for me if you remembered even a little of what happened."
"Then why don't you tell me about it."
"Because I don't want you."
"I'm not going to call you by your first name until you tell me about it."
"Ok, it would cause a lot of problems if you remember, happy? I told you the real reason."
"That's not clear at all."
"Fine whatever. Call me what you like. I'm not going to tell you though." Dark huffed and changed into a bird and flew away.
Satoshi knew that whatever happened, it was not Dark's usual behavior and as he thought about the conversation, he noticed that he wasn't the same either. He really did want to know the past and Dark really didn't want Satoshi to remember or call him his last name.
Why would he not want Satoshi to call him Mousy?...
Ah another thing he noticed, Daisuke wasn't the only thing that would make him dizzy if he thought about him, also if he thought about the past he would get dizzy.
Greathe couldn't ponder this as well.
