ON TO THE STORY!!!!!!
"I decided a few months ago that if I cant be friends with people I can help them with their problems annoymously." Satoshi said still typing away to someone.
Dai looked at Satoshi's screen name and paled immediatly. 'He's TeenHelp44! OH MY...!'
Satoshi heard a thump behind him and looked up to find Dai on the floor. He practically threw his lap top on the couch beside him and lept up.
"N-Daisuke!" He crouched down beside Daisuke. "Daisuke?"
Dai blinked a couple times. "What happened? "
"I think you passed out for a second."
Dai shook his head and sat up. "Uh...Hiwatari?" He asked nervously.
"Yeah?"
"Ur...uh...never mind. I'll tell you later."
"Alright." Satoshi helped him up, then sat him on his computer chair. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I just realized youre not sayin my name much. Whats wrong?"
"Its just weird." Satoshi said. "Ive known you for a year and a half and well, We've never been close then all of a sudden were both shoved into this and have to be close to get through it."
"My apologies." Dai said. "Sorry I drug you into my family problem and making you stay here. Im sorry about all of it."
Satoshi crouched infront of Dai's chair. "Nonsense, Daisuke. Im glad to help you. I dont want you to have to go through what I did. You dont deserve the pain I had. None of it."
Dai gave the tiniest of smiles to Satoshi. "Im glad you are staying here, you know?"
"I know now. You know, If im calling you Daisuke, you dont have to call me Hiwatri-kun anymore. I think we both agree that we dont want to be connected to our last names anymore. Arent I right?"
"Yeah, but your name is so long. Satoshi. Three syllables."
"And Hiwatari-kun isnt long?"
"I got used to saying that." Dai perked up. "I have an idea."
"What would that be?"
"Im going to call you Sato from now on. Hah. I shortened it!"
"If you call me Sato Ill call you Dai." Satoshi warned.
"I dont care. Dark only calls me that. Im almost convinced he doesnt remember my full name." That got Satoshi to smile. "An accordance, then, Sato?"
Satoshi's eyes went wide. "You know a big word?"
"Im not dumb. I just have a little bit of trouble in some subjects. Others, the ones youre actually not in I am doing well in." Dai knew he shouldnt have said that last bit. "An accord?"
Dai's hand had been up in the air waiting for Satoshi to shake it, making him look foolish.
"An accord." Satoshi, ahem Sato, said as he grabbed Dai's hand and shook it.
"Wha chu two agreeing on?" Dark asked from the bathroom door.
"That your an idiot." Both replied.
"Dai, you agreed with him about that?" Dai had a suspicious smile on his face. "Dai?"
Dai pulled his 'Im cute and innocent' look on Dark. "Yeah?"
"Dont pull that face on me. I practically taught that to you."
"No you didnt. You tried to teach me your 'Hey look im a hot guy come rape me pretty girls' look."
Dark shrugged, not denying it. "Well it works doesnt it?"
"I dont want to be raped."
"Not the point. I meant Agh nevermind. Youre too young to understand."
"Dark Im fifteen." Dai said with one of those 'i can stand it' looks.
"Maybe later, Dai. Right now, I gotta wizz."
The furry bunny's head popped up. "Kyuu?"
"Not you." Both Dark and Dai said to the bunny whos head sank down.
Dark left the two friends alone. "What just happened with the bunny?" Sato was completly confused.
"Wiz." The bunny's head shot up. "C'mere."
The bunny flopped over to Dai and curled up infront of him.
"Thats Darks wings?"
"Was. Now that hes out of me he doesnt need the fake wings. He told me that he didnt want to cause the Niwa's pain from the wings so he got a familiar. And the familiars are supposed to look inconspicuous so that if a Hikari ever came to kill him they wouldnt know he was the familiar."
"Another big word used proprerly. Maybe there is hope for you still, where you dont end up like Dark." Sato said and added in a whisper. "Which I really hope you arent like him."
"Im not H-oops Satoshi. Dark always points out how much difference between us there is. Im nothing like him anymore. Thats probably why mo-Emiko doesnt want me."
"Dont think that. Never think that. You shouldnt have to change for her." Satoshi shook his head then saw the unshed tears in Dai's eyes "Come here Dai."
Dai got out of the chair and sat in the floor with Satoshi, who wrapped an arm around his shoulders. After a few seconds Dai tuned and buried his face in Sato's shirt, holding a handful in his left hand to steady himself and to keep the other there.
Satoshi combed his hand through Dai's hair, which had grown longer while he was in the necklace and had to be tied back, but hadnt been tied back for the day. A tiny smirk appeared on Sato's face when he realized Dai's hair smelled like strawberries.
Satos hand continued to comb through Dai's hair long after the smirk appeared. When Dark walked out of the bathroom he saw the two. He started off then gave Satoshi a knowing smile and a thumbs up meaning more than just 'good job comfortin Dai'.
After a minute or two Satoshi wrapped his free arm around Dai's waist to hold him close to Sato. Satoshi's head rested ontop of Dai's, kind of cacooning Dai from the world with his body.
"Daisuke." Emiko screeched as she started up the stairs fifteen minutes later.
Dai pulled away from Sato, letting Sato see his face wasnt red and puffy like he had been crying. Sato gave him a suspicious look and he shrugged.
Emiko walked into the room to see Sato and Dai sitting on the floor. "You," She pointed at Satoshi. "Out. And you."
Dai flinched at the words to him and his best friend. Yeah he had always considered Satoshi as his best friend not Takeshi.
"Out now." She said to Satoshi. "Go home."
Satoshi nodded politely if not stiffly before grabbing his lap top and bag. When Satoshi left the room Emiko slammed the door closed. He ran down the stairs looking for Dark.
"Mousy. DARK!"
"What?" Dark said walking into the living room from the hall where the guest room was.
"Emiko just locked herself and Dai in his room."
"WHAT?" Darks eyes were wide. "Crap."
He ran up the stairs taking then three at a time. When he reached the top of the stairs he stopped in shock.
WAP! "You are not my son." WAP "You were never my son." WAP "I had you to have Dark." WAP
She was trying to break Dai's spirit. Darks heart sank a level when he heard Dai's response.
"I always loved you mo..." His voice was weak and scared.
He never got to finish his sentence, because a grunt sounded from him.
Dark knocked on the door after seing it was locked. "Emiko?"
"Ill be out in just a second Dark, sweetie."
Another grunting sound came from Dai, then an 'Ack!' of pain came perfectly through the door.
By that time Sato was beside Dark, hearing the pain Dai was going through. They both heard a few more solid sounding noises then all sound stopped coming from Dai.
"Emiko!"
"Just a second Dark. Im almost done."
"Open the door now!"
Emiko reluctantly complied and before she could react Sato had run past her to Dai's body on the floor.
"What have you done?" Dark asked her as he forcefully brought her down stairs to lock her in her own room.
Her voice was so cold and filled with venom it scared even Sato a little. "Pest control. Insects need exterminated."
Satoshi squatted beside Dai's body and saw the bruises already appearing on his body. He felt along Dai's sides to see if any ribs were broken and thankfully there wasnt.
This was worse trestment than even Sato had gone through. "N-Dai? Please wake up."
Dai groaned and his head flopped over to where Sato was. "Sa-to?" He pleaded, hoping it was him.
"Yeah. Its me, Dai."
"I couldnt...fight back...against my...mother."
"I know. You just lay here a minute while I pack your bags. Im not going to let you stay here any longer. Are you going to mind living in my appartment?"
Dais head shook a little. "No." Was his weak reply.
"Dont worry. Its a big appartment and my step father buys everything you could imagine for me. You'll be safe there. Just stay here while I pack your bags."
Satoshi found Dai's suitcases quickly and began packing them. Dai had actually gotten up and packed one suitcase with his underwear and sleep clothes before sitting on his bed in pain.
Ten minutes later Satoshi had all of Dai's things packed and had called the driver he never used to come get him and Dai.
"Dai," Sato said squatting infront of Dai and resting his hands on Dai's knees. "Would you mind just living with me? If so we can always come back for the rest of your things."
Dai shook his head. "I cant. This is my home."
"An abusive home. If I have to I will report this and ask the judges that reside over it to let me have you in my custody."
"Why would you do that for me?"
"You're my best friend. I cant just sit aside and watch this happen to you."
"If it gets worse, I have money I can get an appartment with."
"That will only last so long. My step father is rich. He pays for everything. If you stayed with me you wouldnt have to worry about anything. Please, just come stay with me for a while."
Dai nodded before Satoshi helped him up. The driver had just arrived and began packing Dai's bags in the back of...
"A limo?" Dai and Dark said as Dai leaned on Sato for support.
"Well step father is rich." Sato said with a shrug. He was used to limos.
"Dai." Dark said as they stood in the hall. "Im going to stay here and take care of everything. Well be fine, I promise. Ill visit as often as i can. Alright?"
Dai hugged Dark. "Kay. Take care of mom."
Dark gave a sad smile to Dai. Even after his mom beat him he still loves her.
"Ill take care of all of them. Id better go get Krad for you, Satoshi."
"Thanks Dark." Satoshi was actually thanking him and wasnt sarcastic.
Dark nodded and walked off. "Sato?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think she really does hate me?"
"I dont know, but Dark will find out for us. He'll be fine. Remember hes the phantom thief. He cant be hurt." Satoshi said with a smile.
"You hurt him." Dai pointed out.
"Because I had training with Krad. Emiko wont be able to hurt him. She's too slow and in love with him."
Krad walked out of the house of his own free will. "Satoshi-sama. Niwa?" He was amazed at the damage that showed on Dai's body and the broken look in his eyes.
"Not Niwa, Krad. Daisuke. As of today Im not a Niwa. Im just a fifteen year old boy. No last name, no home, but with friends."
Krad nodded and went to sit in the limo. Sato left Dai to say his goodbyes to Dark.
"Dark, you promise you'll visit often?"
"As often as possible. After every theft...or you can come see me while I steal. Its going to be weird to get used to not having you warn me about things or just be there."
"Same here Dark. Take care." Dai hugged Dark again before Dark helped him down the sidewalk to the car since he was battered so badly he could barely stand on his own.
"Bye, Dai. Satoshi, Krad, Take care of him."
"We will Dark." Sato said as he closed the door and rolled the window down for Dai.
Dai watched his childhood home his other half everything slide away from him and disappear into the distance.
After one final wave Dai sat back, clasped his hands in his lap, and stared at them. Krad sat as far away from them as he wanted while Sato sat right beside Dai.
"Dai? Are you okay?"
"I think so. Its just going to take me time to get used to this, thats all."
"Dont worry all of us will be behind you. Dark, Krad, Risa, Riku, Saehara, me." Dai gave him a small smile. "We'll all be here to help you."
"Thanks, Sato." Dai looked back out the window. "Where is your appartment?"
"We're close now." A smile pulled at the edges of Sato's lips. "Lets just say it'll be a surprise when we get there."
Krad laughed. "Poor little Niwa will have a big surprise." Dai looked over at Krad.
"Im no longer a Niwa, Krad."
"Yes. So you said. Just wait. You'll be surprised enough soon."
"Will you shut up?" Dai asked. "You talk too much. Do you like hearing your own voice?"
"How dare you talk to me like that you ungrateful little..."
"Krad, do shut up." Satoshi said flatly. "Im already tired of you being out of my body. At least while you were in me I could shut you up."
"Duct tape." Dai mumbled.
"What?" The other two asked.
"Duct tape. It works really well to shut people up, especially Takeshi."
"I may just try that." Sato said. "Look out the window."
Dai's head swung around to look out the open window. His eyes flopped open and his mouth widened.
"Wh..You...app...whe...eh...bu...whe...no way."
"What ARE you trying to say?" Sato asked with a smile.
They had just pulled into a private driveway that curved around infront of a huge manor, complete with humongous collumns that started from the third floor and an outsdoor chandelier.
"You...you...you..."
"Spit it out." Krad said.
"Thats definitly not an appartment."
Dai counted four floors and attic, and who knows how many acres of land. Behind the car where they pulled in was a huge steel gate that closed after they came through.
The comment Dai said about the manor not being an appartment made both Krad and Satoshi laugh.
"No, Dai, its not an appartment."
"But why?"
"Why dont I live in an appartment?" Satoshi was confused by Dai's small generalized questions.
"No."
"Can you rephrase the question?"
"Wha...WHOA!" They just rode by a gigantic fountain with the figures looking like Krad and Dark.
"Focus, baffoon." Krad said dryly.
"Its huge! HEY! Im not a baffoon."
"Coulda fooled me."
"Shut it Krad. What were you going to say Dai?"
"Urm...oh, yeah. Why say you lived in an app...You have a huge house!"
They had finally stopped infront of the house. The driver opened the door to let all three out and Dai rightly fell out with amazement.
"Are you alright, sir?" The driver asked.
"Call me Daisuke. Im fine. I think."
Satoshi climbed out and helped Dai up. "Hes just surprised. Hes never been here." The driver nodded as Krad climbed regally out of the car.
"Anything else, sirs?"
"No." Satoshi said. "Ill call if I need anything. That shouldnt be very often. Have a good day."
The driver nodded. He liked working for Satoshi. Satoshi wasnt spoiled so he didnt call for a ride often but since his step father hired him for full time work he got paid to sit around his own house.
"Ill bring the bags inside for the butler to get, sirs."
"Thank you." Satoshi said again.
Dai stood there, leaning on Satoshi, looking around wideeyed at the place Satoshi called home. Satoshi smiled and chuckled at the look on Dai's face as Krad walked inside.
"You wanna look inside?"
Dai nodded as Satoshi helped him inside, where two butlers and half a dozen maids stood listening to Krads orders.
"Krad." Satoshi warned. "Im warning you now. You tell them to do anything dumb and Ill personally kick your a..."
"Satoshi!" Dai said cutting his curse word off. "You shouldnt curse infront of women."
"Ill personally kick your scrawny butt Krad. Then make you feed the guard dogs for a week."
Krad shivered at that. "Whats with him?" Dai asked.
"One night after fighting Dark Krad flew in while the dogs were out and they attacked him."
"Vicious! Vicios bas..."
"Krad. Women are present." Dai said again.
"They were vicious. Satoshi-sama suffered from the consequences for a week. Though he persisted in going to school."
"Good thing its spring break." Dai said.
"Especially with your battered body." Krad said as the butlers and maids left. "It looks like you had a fight with a lemur and the lemur won."
Dai gave Krad a death glare. "Ill show you." He was about to swing at Krad but Satoshi stopped him.
"Youre still recouperating. Rest first. Attack Krad later. At the end of the week we can go back and see your family. After that, we'll figure out what to do."
Dai nodded. "How do you remember your way around here?" Everything was white in the house, making it look the same.
"After you live here your whole life, you know." Satoshi said as they headed for...
"You have an elevator in your house?!"
"My step fathers rich like I keep telling you. That and when I was little I already had Krad in me. Ive had him all of my life in me. I was about five and Krad took over and broke my leg in three places so I had to have an elevator to get to my room."
"Your house is so cool, though." Dai said as they got in the elevator that had... "And your elevator plays rock music? I wish all elevators did."
Satoshi laughed as they reached the top floor. "Come on." He helped Dai out of the elevator down the hall. "Theres an elevator at both ends of the house. When I was younger I always went to the first floor that way."
There stood the stairway that went all the way down that curved round and round in a tight spiral all the way down and at the end where normally theres a ball or sumthin to stop you from sliding was nothing.
"When I get better, Satoshi, we should have some fun."
"Maybe when you're better and if you are still here."
Dai nodded as Satoshi led him away to a door with no others close by.
"Heres going to be your room, Dai." Satoshi opened the door to show a room three times as big as Dai's old room.
"Holy...Wow." Dai whispered.
"Im guessing you like it, Dai?"
"Its...Its huge!" There was a king size bed a huge oak dresser, night stand desk with a computer, everything Dai could want. Another desk sat to the side with a Tv in it and it had satellite.
Satoshi laughed at Dai's face. "What? Too much?"
"Its...wow. I though I lived good at home but you...you have everything."
"Its about four now, Dai. Do you want to go downstairs and see what we can cook up? Or do you want me to call the chef to come in and make something? Im not exactly the best cook in the world."
"We can make something." Dai said smiling. "Im good at cooking and you can be my helper."
"Alright." They headed downstairs via elevator and went to the kitchen.
"You have like a professionals kitchen." Dai said as he saw the island and all shapes and sizes of cooking utensils.
"Are we going to make food or stare at everything?" Satoshi asked ruffling Dai's long hair.
"Sorry. Im just amazed at your house. Im guessing thats why you said you lived in an appartment. Um...What do you wanna cook?"
"Lets do something simple tonight, since Im new at cooking and youre still hurt."
"Alright." Satoshi sat Dai down on a stool he drug over to the island so he could get the things Dai told him to get.
"So what are we making, Master chef Dai?"
Dai laughed. "Sorry but im no master chef. How about mac and cheese and...do you like burgers?"
"I eat anything the chef or I make. Although I prefer not eating what I make."
Dai laughed again. "I can help you with that if I stay with you for a while."
"Im hopeless."
"No you just need time. Pull out the cheese um...hamburger. You can figure out what to get. Its simple enough."
Satoshi nodded and turned to walk to the fridge/freezer. What he didnt know was Dai stood up on his own and walked around the island to turn on the stove.
"Daisuke! What are you doing?" He had gotten everything out of the fridge freezer.
"Turning the stove on?" Dai looked scared like he had done something really wrong.
"Why are you up?"
"To turn the stove on."
"I know that. You shouldnt be up."
"Im okay." Dai said as Satoshi shook his head.
"Your as thick headed as Dark."
"Thats not a good thing, is it?"
"No. Now sit down."
"Im fine."
"Sit down."
"Satoshi Hikari Im fine." It surprised him that Dai would use his real last name. "Will you just listen to me. Ive been through worse with Dark. Ill be fine."
"Dark isnt in you anymore to help you heal. He isnt there to lend his strength."
"Thats why I have my own." Dai gave him one of those 'I know what Im doing' looks and grabbed a skillet for the burgers.
"Sorry Dai. Im just worried about you."
"Dont. I can take care of myself. I know you want to help but acting like mom and Towa mixed just doesnt help. Just be there as my friend and you'll do more help."
Satoshi nodded as he handed the hamburger to Dai. Dai hobbled to the counter and asked for a plate then began making hamburgers.
"Come over here Satoshi. You need to learn to make burgers." Satoshi reluctantly walked over. "watch what I do then repeat it. I know you can do that since you can do that with artwork."
Sato nodded and watched Dai then tried to make a patty on his own. His kept flopping apart. Dai reached over and put his hands on Satoshi's to guide him, making both shiver from contact...after touching the meat, yeah.
"See, thats all you have to do." Dai said cheerily as Satoshi put down the newly formed patty. Both felt kind of empty without the warmth of the others hands.
"Dai...Would you uh...help me with one more?" Satoshi seemed nervous and Dai gave him a curious look.
"One more then you're doing some on your own."
"Yes mommy." Satoshi replied.
"I do not sound like a mom."
"Oh, Yeah?" Krad said from the door way.
Dai gave Satoshi a 'im planning something' smile. "Dai." Satoshi warned as Krad walked into the Kitchen even further.
"Just a little further." Krad kept walking, totaly oblivios to what Dai was planning. "Just a little more."
Dai turned around suddently as Krad was about to talk and threw a raw hamburger in his face with most of it going in his mouth.
Krad spat it out immediatly. "Gah. Bleh." He ran over to the sink to rinse out his mouth. "Gurgle. Bleh."
"Nice one, Dai." Satoshi said laughing. "Good aim."
"Thanks." As Dai said that Krad walked out of the room muttering about how he'd get Dai back for that. "Back to the burgers before they get warm."
Dai placed his hands over Satoshi's and guided his hands, forming the patty into a well rounded shape.
"You see what you need to do now, Satoshi?"
"Yeah." He nodded and began working on another patty while Dai began throwing the already formed ones in the skillet to cook.
"Grab one more hunk to make another and Ill wrap up the rest of the hamburger meat. It'll make six to cook." Satoshi nodded. "See you're doing good, Satoshi." He said as he washed his hands,
"Thanks to you." He put the patty down and started on the last patty, while Dai wrapped up the remaing meat and put it back in the freezer.
"Ill start shredding the cheese for a type of home made mac and cheese, Kay?"
"Thats fine. After I'm done with this what can I do?"
The next hour and a half passed that way and by the time they got the dinner ready Krad was ready to eat.
"If you want to eat, Krad, you have to be nice to me." Dai said with an evil smile on his face.
"Ill be nice." Krad said but when Dai's back was turned he added more. "For now."
Dai shrugged as he sat down on the far right stool at the counter while Krad sat on the far left and Satoshi was in the middle.
"You make some good burgers, Dai." Satoshi said
"I aghree." Krad said shoveling the burger in before his mac and cheese.
Dai blushed a little. "Thanks."
Dinner passed silently as all of the maids left, their work shift was done, and eventually the butlers left too.
When dinner was over and Satoshi and Dai had washed the dished they headed towards Satoshi's big living room.
"Movies, video games, tvs, board games, card games, play station, sega, Wii, Nintendo, X-box, every game console in the world!" Dai observed then noticed all of Satoshi's DVD's "And probably every DVD in the world. Do you have surround sound?"
"Yeah. this one room has twenty-seven speakers to make it real surround sound. And that TV is I believe sixty inches."
"Whoa."
"What do you want to do?"
"Thats not really much of a choice."
"Movie?"
"Movie. The hard thing is choosing which."
Krad walked in the room. "Watch a scary movie." He had an evil smirk on his face. "Their oh so much fun."
"Fuck off Krad." Dai said.
"You should watch your mouth when you speak to an elder."
"I dont care if your older than me."
"You should. I have four hundred years of fighting below my belt."
"I bet four hundred years with some one hitting him below the belt." Dai whispered to Satoshi making him have a coughing fit from holding the laughter in.
"So what will the movie be?" Krad asked as he flopped in a chair.
"Ill let you choose, Satoshi." Dai said
"Are you sure?" Dai nodded. "Even if I chose something scary?"
"Ill be fine?" It seemed almost a question.
Satoshi walked over to the shelves with all the DVDs in it. "Hmmmmmm."
Krad stood up and walked over. "That one." He pointed at a scary movie. "Watch that one."
Satoshi grabbed the movie and it turned out to be The Thing: Special Edition (i dunno if thats real) with new gory scenes. Satoshi chuckled at the movie. When Krad was in him he had made him watch it so many times.
"Will this be okay, Dai?"
"I-I think so."
Krad had a smug smile. "Changing your mind about wanting to watch ANY movie, now are we?" He teased.
"No way." Dai said trying to sound like he knew what he was doing, failing miserably in the process.
"If you are sure Ill put it in." Satoshi said as Dai nodded vigorously. "Okay."
He popped the movie in, sat down beside Dai on the love seat and by the time the previews were over, Dai had said they should watch them, and the movie had started it was Dark (no pun intended) outside.
The movie began and Dai was already fidgiting, making Krad angry. "Either sit still or you'll be sitting on me for the remainder of the movie." He threatened.
Dai's eyes went wide as he sat still...for five minutes. "Sorry, Krad. I fidgit when I see scary movies."
Krad muttered a 'whatever' and went back to watching the movie, while Satoshi chuckled to himself.
When the first death came around, Satoshi almost laughed, Dai hid his face behind his hands and 'EEP'-ed. His hands covered his whole face as he jumped backwards into the couch.
"Dai," Satoshi whispered in his ear, making the smaller boy shiver. "Are you alright?"
Dai nodded and slowly brought his hands down from his face before...Krad popped up infront of him out of no where. "Ack." Dai's hands were halfway to his face when he realized it was Krad.
'Perfect chance' He said to himself as A fist came swinging around, socking Krad in the left cheek. Krad fell to the floor.
"Man," He rubbed his cheek. "You have a hard right swing."
"Dont do that again." Dai warned.
"Ill wear pads if I do it again." Krad said as he went back to his chair and noticed Satoshi's shoulders bobbing from represed laughes. "Go ahead Satoshi-sama, laugh."
With that Satoshi laughed lightly, sounding quite musical to Dai. "Krad you just got nailed by Dai."
"I got punched by Darks Tamer. Thats embaressing. Back to the movie."
Dai cursed under his breath, thinking they had forgotten. Then minutes later Krad walked off sayin he was tired of the movie, leaving the twitching Dai and calm collected Satoshi.
Another death came along and Dai hid his face inbetween Sato and the couch. Satoshi ruffled Dai's hair when he was like that and chuckled lightly.
"You alright, Dai?"
"Yeah. It surprised me."
"Its unrated new scenes. Its supposed to be scary and gory."
Dai sat up and was a bit closer to Satoshi and they went back to the movie. Everything went on and Dai was a bit better on the next death (I dunno how many deaths there are b/c my mom told me about the movie so if im wrong I am so sorry).
Twenty minutes before the end of the movie a really gory deleted scene death happened and Dai was practially sitting on Satoshi.
Dai's head was in Satoshi's chest where he could feel the calmer teens heartbeat, his hands gripping the others shirt in a death grip, his legs curled up in a ball right beside Satoshi. He was almost on Satoshi's lap.
Satoshi smiled at the top of Dai's head and started combing his fingers through his hair. "You okay, Dai?" He whispered in Dai's ear making him shiver again.
"Y-yeah. I-Im f-f-fine." He was shaking.
"Do you want me to stop the movie?"
"No." His voice was steady.
"Alright." Satoshi actually hadnt been watching the movie at all the whole time.
He had been watching Dai's reaction to it. Even after watching it four dozen times with Krad, Satoshi still didnt like the movie, it gave HIM shivers.
Dai stayed latched onto Satoshi all through the end of the movie. When it was over Satoshi flipped the Tv to some random history channel thing to get Dai to calm down.
It didnt work exactly as he planned. Dai was so worn out from being in the necklace, beaten by his mom, then scared shit-less by a movie that the history channel droning on made him fall asleep on Satoshi.
Satoshi had found it interesting since it was about old artwork that he didnt realize the reason for why Dai's hands were loosening on his shirt.
When the show was over an hour later it was eleven and Dai's head lay neatly in Satoshi's lap while his hands still had a grip on his shirt. Satoshi smiled at Dai's sleeping form then decided to take him to bed.
The TV was turned off and Satoshi carried Dai out of the room to the elevator to the top floor. When they were close to Dai's room Dai woke up a little in Satoshi's arms.
"Satoshi?"
"Its okay, Daisuke. You fell asleep. Just go back to sleep." They were in Dai's room by then and Satoshi was laying him on the bed. "My room is down the hall. You can find it easily enough. If you need anything, Ill be there. Anything at anytime, okay?"
"Okay. Goodnight." Dai's eyes closed as he was falling back asleep.
"Goodnight." Satoshi whispered as he kissed Dai's forehead before leaving.
Krad was standing right outside the door waiting for Satoshi. "Aw. How cute." His tone was angry. "Dont lead the kid on, Satoshi-sama."
Satoshi started off down the hall ofter closing Dai's door quietly. "Go away Krad."
"Is poor Satoshi-sama mad? You shouldnt lead the boy on when you're already taken, Satosho-sama." Krad wrapped his arms around Satoshi's shoulders, making him stop walking. "You are mine. You will belong to me always."
Satoshi pulled out of Krad's grasp. "I am not yours. I never was. I resent everything you stand for. Goodnight Krad."
Satoshi walked into his room and slammed the door in Krads face. Krads growl was heard through the door by Satoshi, who was leaning against it.
"Im not yours Krad." He whispered. "I never was and never will be." He slid to the floor, dejected. "Even with him out of me, he controls me."
A scared sob almost escaped his throat, before he collected himself and walked to the bathroom. He splashed cold water on his face a few times before looking in the mirror.
All he saw in the mirror was a skinny fifteen year old know-it-all with strange blue hair and icy blue eyes that make his pale skin stand out even more and show how puny his body was.
With a grunt Satoshi walked out of the bathroom, he always hated what he looked like, and walked into his bedroom and sat on a chair to sulk.
Half an hour later, Satoshi heard a timid knock on his door, breaking his trance. He stood up, knowing who it was, and started walking to the door.
A muffled struggle was heard through the door and Satoshi ran across the room the rest of the way and threw the door open to find Krad and Dai fighting in the hall. Krad was overpowering Dai, while Satoshi watched, stunned.
Satoshi was sure Dai was about to be pinned by Krad but then his fighting spirit kicked in and he started twisting viciously, kicking Krad in the ribs.
"Get off, you pervert." Satoshi had never heard Dai's voice actually mad, angry at anyone. "Im not kidding. Dont underestimate me."
The undertone of a growl coming from Dai's lips scared Satoshi while he pummeled Krad over and over in the ribs with whatever he could hit him with.
Dai finally threw Krad off of him some and stood up. It was equal ground now. Dai's stance had no fear in it as Krad stood up.
"Attack me again and I'll show you how weak I actually am." He had a fierce look in his eyes, almost a primal fury. "Go, now."
Krad stomped off while Dai shot daggers at his back. Satoshi swallowed a little at the sight of Dai's muscles rippling in the fight.
'I never realized how much muscle he actually has. I always knew him as the clumsy kid.'
"Satoshi?" Dai asked as he saw Satoshi wasnt going to speak and had an almost...scared look on his face.
"Sorry, Dai. I was just thinking."
"I was hoping you wouldnt be awake still." Dai said as his anger and ferocity disappeared.
"Why?"
Dai nibbeled on his lower lip. "Dark and I still have our connection and he told me Emiko was signed into a mental facility on account of..." He rubbed his face with his hands.
"Come sit down, Dai. You can tell me when you're ready." He put an arm around Dai and led him into his room making sure to lock it, to keep Krad out.
"Mom was trying to kill herself and after the facility heard she tried to kill me they might try to charge her with attempted murder. If she pleads insanity then shes going to the mental facility for women." Dai was sitting in a chair, leaned down with his arms resting on his legs and not looking at Satoshi. "Not only that but Risa has threatened Dark she'd tell the whole school about it since she was staked out during the fight and converstaion with the asylums representatives." A sigh escaped Dai's lips as the carpet seemed more interesting than Satoshi at the moment.
"The school is going to find out sometime."
"I know. To be truthful I dont care what they know because I know my friends," He looked at Satoshi quickly before looking at the floor again. "Will stand by me. The only reason I didnt tell Dark that was to see if he would date Risa. In our connection he said, and I quote 'Shes creepy, worse than creepy boy and she's a stalker. So what if shes pretty I dont want her stalking me while I shower or go to a club...when im older...heh...shes just a freak!' That was the point I told him to shut up since he was screaming across the connection."
"Is there anyway we can say Risa was an accomplice and get her sent to the asylum too?" Both had a laugh at that. "What was with you and Krad?"
"He tackled me and kept saying something like 'Sashie-sama is mine.' I may have heard him wrong since we were fighting, but didnt he mean you?"
Satoshi looked away when Dai looked up at him curiously. "He's still convinced I belong to him."
"Can he be an accomplice too?" Dai asked.
"I wish. Then all of our problems will be locked up...together...probably planning an escape."
"That could be bad...especially if they plan revenge." Dai said. "On to Plan D 64!"
"Plan D 64?"
"Plan Daisuke 64. Dont ask. It was a thing with Dark. All of my plans were labeled D blah. His was T whatever. I always said turd to make him mad. He insisted it stood for thief."
Satoshi laughed at how brotherly Dai and Dark were. "Krads being a bit weird. Wait a second. Contact Dark and ask him if the potion wears off." Dai closed his eyes trying to contact Dark.
Five minutes passed after Dai began contact Dark. A growl escaped Dai's mouth as he became aggravated.
Another couple minutes passed as Dai talked to Dark with a few growls.
'DARK MOUSY!'
'Dai? Wassup?'
'Dark Ive been trying to get you to wake up for five minutes now.' Satoshi heard a growl.
'Keep your britches on. Its not like Krad attacked you.'
'Oh yeah?' Dai sent the memory of Krad attacking him across the link.
'You got mad?' Dark was astounded. He had NEVER seen Dai angry either.
'Yes Dark. Satoshi and I both want to know if your potion will wear off or if it was a fluke.'
'Well uh heh.'
'Dark.' Another verbal growl.
'Well uh...when I uh gave Krad the potion I told him he couldnt KILL you...' Dai cut him off, speaking verbally and mentally, though not knowing
You didnt tell Krad he couldnt hurt me! What the hell were you thinking?! When I get near you you are so dead!
'Sorry, Dai, it slipped my mind.'
'Slipped your mind about your tamer that was with you for a year and a half?' Another growl then Dai's expression fell to a sad look. 'I see how much I actually meant to you.' Dai cut the link before Dark could say anything else.
"Dai?" Satoshi said quietly.
"Its nothing. Dark 'forgot' to tell Krad when he was given the potion he couldnt hurt me. Thats why he attacked me."
Satoshi leaned his ear against the door and heard Krads breathing faintly from close by. "Well. Your stuck here for a while."
Dai sighed, leaned his head back in the chair to look at the ceiling before rubbing his face again. "Why do these things have to happen to me?"
"Fate." Was all Satoshi said.
"Well fate needs to give me a break." A chuckle came from Satoshi.
"Take a rest. Bed, chair, or floor?" Satoshi asked as he opened a closet full of blankets, sheets, pillow, everything for a bed.
"Im fine with the chair." Dai said with a yawn. He scrunched around where he was curled up like a cat in the huge chair.
Satoshi smiled as he walked over with a blanket. He brushed the hair out of Dai's eyes and covered him up.
"In the morning we'll figure out what to do, okay?"
Dai nodded sleepily. "Thanks, Satoshi."
Satoshi ran his fingers through Dai's hair again. "No problem."
Satoshi laid down on the king size bed, with his arms behind his head, staring at the ceiling. He heard Dai's even breathing of sleep then whimpers.
Dai was having a bad dream about the scary movie from earlier or from his mother beating him.
"No." Dai's voice was so full of pleading and seemed almost broken. "Please, dont send me back. Not to the necklace...not to the darkness."
Satoshi stood up and walked over to Dai who was whimpering and moving around in his sleep. The blanket was already wrapped tightly around Dai's little frame and sweat was beading his forehead.
Satoshi's hand came up and wiped the sweat filled bangs out of Dai's face and rested on his face. "Dai, wake up. You're having a nightmare."
Dai seemed to hear him and calmed down some. Satoshi unwrapped the blanket from the smaller boys body and carried him over to the bed, where he keep an eye on him.
Satoshi laid Dai on the left side of the bed and laid down on the right, so he could know when Dai woke up or had another nightmare.
"Dai, Im right here for you." He said quietly as he started to fall asleep.
Right before he fell asleep, Satoshi felt a warmth envelop him from somewhere and it felt like it was wrapped all around him.
