"Dark! Dark where are you!" Rku called as she jerked her arm away from her father and ran towards the now burnt down ballroom. As she started to walk through the debris, she felt something soft brush her neck. She turned around to see what it was... it was a black feather. "No...," Riku whispered to herself as she dropped down to her knees as her body racked with sobs while she held the feather. Her sobs finally calmed a bit, 'No, no, no, no, why did he go in there... oh, that's right to save isa and Father. But why did it have to blow up with him inside, wait... if I found a feather, than he must have flown away! Maybe he got out in time! But... what if he didn't,' she thought as she soon broke down again.
"Riku? What's the matter Riku?" Risa asked behind her.
"D- Dark, I-I think h- he was c- crushed by the falling debris!" Riku said brokenly. 'Don't leave me Dark... your my best friend... no... I've liked you more than a friend since we were kids... and now- now I'll never get to tell you!' Risa was by her side rubbing circles on Riku's back, for she had no idea what to say. Meanwhile a figure, with flaming red hair and eyes to match, was was watching from the shadows with an evil grin. (BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...srry)
---------------------------------------------------------
Riku didn't move from where she found the feather. It had started to rain so Risa, Krad, and her Father tried to coax her into going inside, telling her she would catch could, but she wouldn't move. Krad knew she wasn't going to move on her own so he bent down to pick her up. As soon as he put his arms around her, getting ready to pick her up, she fell limp against his chest still clutching the feather.
They all went inside and put Riku on the huge comfy couch, since the rooms were on the other side of the ballroom and there were no stairs leading up to them.
Riku was tossing and turning in her sleep, as she finally settled down a bit she murmured, "Dark..."
----------------------------------------------------
The next morning Riku woke with a start, "Dark! Where's Dark!" Then she remebered the night before and tears filled her eyes. She then felt two weights near her, and as she looked down she saw Krad and Risa sitting on the floor lying their heads on the couch next to Riku. She gave them a teary smile and then lightly got up as not to wake them. She walked to the debris pile, and decided she would look for a corpse, so she could give it a propper burial since she figured Dark would have returned by now if he was alive.
As she looked at the still burning patches, she thought better of it for now and went towards the woods deciding she would return later. She walked through the woods for a few minutes before she came upon a huge boulder. She could hear water trickling so she was confused and walked to the right of the boulder peering behind it; what she saw was a small spring but there was something strange about it. "Hhhhmmm... what is that in the water?" she asked herself walking a little further to the right of the boulder. As soon as she made it to where she could see what was in the water she gasped... 'blood? Hhmm... I wonder,' she thought as she walked farther to the right until she was completely in front of the rock. What she saw wasn't a small spring, but a fairly large one, 'I remember this spring...' but she decided to remanisce (sp?) later seeing a small cave-like hole in the middle of the boulder, just big enough for a person though she didn't notice this, from where the blood was coming from. 'It might just be a wounded animal, with sharp teeth or... oh I'll just check it out just far enough not to be dangerous.' Riku then walked near it, forgetting all about why she had been sad for a moment, to see something glistening just in the entrance of the hole. Her curiosity completely took over as she stepped into the water to get a better look at what it was, 'Curiosity killed the cat you know,' a voice taunted in her head, 'Yes but I'm not a cat,' she retorted. 'Ugh, you can be so literal sometimes,' 'Whatever, just leave me alone so I can concentrate, and not getkilled if whatever's in there is dangerous,' Riku snapped. 'Rawr,' was the last Riku heard of it for now, and she rolled her eyes at the last comment. 'Now to see what's that shining thing is...' her mind trailed as she got a bit closer. (I could have made this a cliff hanger, but I'm feeling generous, lol).
What Riku saw was a feather, covered in so much blood she couldn't see its true color. 'Maybe there's an injured bird in there...' Riku thought as she walked closer, but when she got to the entrance she didn't see an injured bird. There, lying near the back of the small whole on its stomach, covered in small scratches, little burns, and a gash on its side was, "Dark!" Riku ran to his side, tears pouring from her eyes. She knelt down and slowly turned him on his back, placing his head on her lap. "Dark... " she whispered his name as she put her forehead to his. "I'll get help, please be ok when I get back." She then gingerly ribbed his cheek before she set him down softly and ran back to the castle.
------------------------------------------------------
Risa, Krad, their Father and a couple doctors ran as fast as they could to catch up with Riku. They finally arrived to the little cave/hole in the boulder and the doctors went in after Riku and amediately started working on cleaning and bandaging Darks wounds.
"Please, is he going to be alright?" Riku asked hopefully.
One of the doctors looked up at Riku and smiled, "Yes princess Riku, the yonug lad will be fine, although the gash in his side will most definitely leave a scar."
Riku smiled back at the doctor who had turned back to Dark, "Good..."
When the doctors were done attending to Dark, they stood and the same doctor walked over to Riku, "As I said before he will be perfectly fine, albeit a little sore when he wakes up. You have no need to worry Princess Riku," the doctor said as he bowed respectfully and wlka over to Riku's Father.
"Does the boy need any ointments or bandage changes?" Riku's Father asked.
"Yes, your Highness, here is the ointment for the burns and some medicine to numb the pain in his side. He will also need that bandage over his side changed once a day until it is completely healed," the doctor answered handing the king what he needed before bowing and leaving with the other doctor. "Well Riku, how are we going to get the boy home?"
Krad sighed, and said "I guess I'll carry him," he said sarcastically trying to make Riku laugh.
It worked, Riku laughed a little then ran over to her brother and hugged him, "Thank you."
"Yeah, yeah, but what's with the wings?" Krad asked curiously.
"Um... I don't know, he hasn't told me yet, I only found out not too long ago myself." Riku answered.
"Oh alright," Krad said again before walking over and putting Dak on his back with the help of their Father. They carried him home and put him n the couch.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dark's eyes slowly opened halfway, 'Ugh, my head is killing me...' he then opened his eyes all the way and looked around the room. 'Where am I, the last thing i remember is being covered in smoke and going to that small spring to clean myself up before going back to Riku's cas-' Dark then shot up in a sitting position 'Riku! She must be worried sick about me!' he thought remembering how she tended to worry to much over things sometimes before he felt dizzy and plopped back down on the pillow his head occupied earlier.
"Dark..." someone mumbled next to him.
"Huh?" Dark then sat up again, making sure it was slowly so as not to get dizzy again, and looked at his side to see a sleeping Riku, sitting on the floor with her head in her arms on the couch. 'Riku...' Dark then blushed.
"She's been by y- your s- side since we f-f- found you in that hole i- in the b- boulder and b-b-b-b-b- brought you back h- here," Krad said trying very hard to stiffle his laughter; he had been awake sitting there watching Darks little episode. He couldn't hold it in any longer and with a snort he burst out laughing, starteling Riku awake.
"Who what when where..." Riku then cocked her head, "How?"
Dark then burst out laughing, and poor Krad was rolling around on the floor eyes watering and gasping for air. This woke up their Father and Risa.
"Dark!" Riku then tackeled Dark with a tight hug, "I'm so glad you're ok! You were out for two days now!" She then leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. Darks laughing stopped ubruptly as stiffened and his face turned redder than a fire truck.
Krad seemed to finally catch his breath and stop laughing in time to go, "Oooooooooooooooooh!"
"Dark? Are you ok? Do you have a fever?" Riku asked confused by Krad's 'ooh'.
"Are you actually as dense as I thought? He's blushing!" Krad said as he started laughing again but then had to dodge a flying pillow.
"Shut up! I am not!" Dark yelled as he began to chase Krad around the huge livingroom.
"Boys," Risa and Riku said at the same time.
