Author's Note: I might be re-editing the first three chapters to try to flesh them out as much as I can and see if I can correct some of the awkward sentences that I accidentally put in there. I hope not to disappoint!

Anyway, the next segment in this DxD AU!

Chapter Three

New Phases

'Uhn...where am I? I can't feel anything.' Daisuke thought to himself. 'W-Wait...what? I-I...I can't move! I can't open my eyes! What's going on??'

Daisuke could feel as if the whole world was disappearing around him. What he could "see" was darkness, as if it was swallowing him up all around him. He couldn't understand what was going on, nor the reason why it was happening. He tried to move around, but it seemed that his body felt cold and heavy.

'A-Am I dying? Momma...Momma where are you?!' he screamed in his thoughts. He felt as if his body was getting more and more heavy as the darkness was consuming him.

"...suke..." echoed softly within the darkness. He could feel warmth on his skin, his body feeling warm.

Daisuke heard the voice, feeling like he could move towards it. 'H-Huh?? What was that? Hello? Is someone there?' His body felt hotter, slowly feeling like it was on fire.

"..aisuke."

'I-Itie...Please...don't leave me. Find me...I don't want to be like this...' He saw something in the distance of where he was. 'Two violet orbs...they are glowing. Are they...eyes?'

'There you are...angel.'

'W-Who...are you?'

"Daisuke!"

The redhead's eyes flew open, his sight was now blinded by white lights, making him squint. He moved his hand in front of him to block out the light.

"Wait..."He looked at his hand, realization kicking in slowly. 'I-I...I.can move again!'

He shot up out of bed to be embraced by a strong hug, his body being squeezed so much that he gasped, wondering who was holding him. He felt like his heart was beating a mile a minute.

His mothers voice flooded his ears. "Oh, my little Dai-tenshi! I am so glad that you're awake! I thought I was going to lose you!"

"M-Momma?" Daisuke squeaked, rendered immobile. "W-What's going on?" He looked around, realizing that he wasn't in his room anymore, but in a room completely bathed in white. "W-What is this place?"

"You're at the hospital." said a voice from behind his mother. Daisuke had just enough energy to turn his head to see a rather tall woman with long navy blue hair dressed in a doctor's garb. "You gave your mother quite a scare three days ago."

"T-Three days ago?!" repeated with a pale look on his face. "I was asleep for three days?!" he wrapped his arms quickly around his mother.

The female doctor smiled. "You went into a coma; but yes, you were asleep for three days." She picked up a folder on a small table, walking up to Daisuke and his mother while reading the file. "You've had quite the history of visits here at the hospital."

Daisuke's mother looked up at the doctor. "Yes. Dr. Musashi is our family doctor, but he's on vacation for a few more days. I'm sorry for the sudden appointment."

"It's alright by me, Ms. Niwa. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Dr. Sekaki, one of Dr. Musashi's interns. He told me about you Ms. Niwa, and about your son."

Daisuke hugged his mother, squeezing her in return. "I'm sorry Momma. I didn't mean to scare you."

Ms. Niwa smiled happily, releasing her hug. "It's alright Dai. I am just glad you're better."

Dr. Sekaki sat down, closing the file and setting it down beside her. "On that note Ms. Niwa. I had some tests on your son to see how he was doing. Do you mind...if we go and have a talk, in private?"

Daisuke's mother looked at the doctor, unsure of how to think as to what the woman was going to tell her. "A-Alright." she looked at Daisuke. "Sweetheart, do you mind if I go and talk to the doctor?"

Daisuke leaned back on the hospital bed, looking at Dr. Sekaki. "I'll be okay now, Momma." he said, looking at Ms. Niwa with a big smile. "I will stay right here." He giggled happily, looking like he is filled with energy.

Ms. Niwa ruffled his hair before getting up. Dr. Sekaki stood up as well. "This way Ms. Niwa." she said, leaving to her office. Ms. Niwa gave Daisuke a kiss on his forehead before following, leaving Daisuke alone.

The tiny redhead curled up on the bed, trying to think of what had happened and why he was asleep for so long. He closed his eyes, trying to get more rest while he waited for his mother to return. As he rested, he could feel his body floating in the air; the darkness from his nightmares emerging making his heartbeat quicken.

'N-No...' Daisuke said softly, his body shaking. 'I'm scared...'

Daisuke tried to reach around, trying to find his way through the darkness. He felt nothing as he tried to find a way to wake up. 'This is only a dream...it's not real.'

"It won't be long, kid." echoed in the back of his mind. "Just relax."

'That voice..it sounds familiar.' he felt like he could see something in his so-called dream- the glowing orbs in the distance piercing the darkness. 'It's you...from before. Are you...the voice I heard in my room?'

"Yes, I apologize for that. I needed some...insurance. You know, to make sure that you were able to survive the process."

'W-What are you talking about? I don't understand this at all.' Daisuke muttered. It was true, he was trying to comprehend what was going on with him.

The eyes looked at him, almost as if they were smiling at them. "You just rest and get better. Your body is taking some more time than I expected."

'Get better? But how am I...'

"Oh! That's my cue. I better leave before they think you fell into unconscious again. See you later, angel."

'W-Wait!'

Daisuke felt his body wake up on its own, his eyes slowly opening again. He looked around again seeing that he was moved into another wing of the hospital. He pushed some of the sheets away, seeing multiple empty beds around him. He found a change of clothes placed on a chair near his bedside, moving slowly to slip off the bed. He shifted himself so that his feet was dangling off the bed, testing the waters so to speak as he was able to reach the chair cushion, trusting the chair enough that it wasn't going to move away from him while he was attempting to climb down.

'I...I do feel a little better...but how--'

"Dr. Sekaki...what...about the doctor bill..."

Daisuke jumped a little at the sudden voice behind him. He turned to find Dr. Sekaki again with his mother, still conversing. He had just enough time before his mother looked towards his direction to scramble back under the sheets, his mind a bit hazy with the sudden movements.

"Good morning again, Daisuke." Ms. Niwa said happily.

Dr. Sekaki looked to Daisuke as well, giving him a small smile "The nurses brought you down here to the out-patient ward while you were sleeping. I hope that we didn't disturb your rest."

The boy shook his head, feeling the dizziness ebbing away from his body. "No ma'am, I just woke up before you got back."

"That's good to hear. You have more color coming back to your cheeks- the signs of recovery." she said, chuckling. "I think that you are strong enough to be able to return home with your mother, Daisuke. That is, if you feel up to it."

The child felt looked like he would leap out of the bed at that moment she spoke those words. Instead he just nodded happily. "I would like that very much ma'am." he said politely. "Thank you"

The doctor nodded in return. "Looking at the tests myself, little Daisuke; you might be well enough to return to school after a few more days of rest, and permission from your mother and the district of course."

Daisuke was beaming at that comment, looking at his mother. She gave him a gentle nod and a very happy smile.

School. Finally, to be able to learn with his fellow classmates, albeit he would be alone outside the schoolroom- but that didn't matter. Just being able to be educated and read more books out of the small collection he had was enough for him. He wanted to get out of the house and have fun, and play.

"However..." Dr. Sekaki commented, a serious tone on her lips. This made Daisuke look at her with a worried gaze "...even though I am allowing you to return to school, you're still under observation and care until further notice. You may be recovering, which is a blessing. But I do not want my judgment of your healing to turn into something far worse than what you. Therefore..."

"T-Therefore...ma'am?" Daisuke asked softly. 'I hope they will let me stay with school, sick or not...I don't want to be cooped up in my room forever.'

"Therefore...I will request from the school for you to have someone working at the school to look after you during school hours."

"Dr. Sekaki...but...we don't have very much money to afford it..." Ms. Niwa commented with worry. "I don't not think that we could do this. On top of the medical bills--"

"I am sure that Dr. Musashi or myself will be able to take care of that with little difficult: care of the hospital. Call it a "medical research project and patient observations" in our language if you will." Dr. Sekaki said with a gentle tone. "We all want to make sure that our patients are well cared for- on or off our premises. Besides, I don't think that anyone would say no to that cute face of his." She chuckled, covering her mouth to try and suppress any oncoming giggles.

That remark made Daisuke blush deeply, looking away. 'Momma did say that I was cute...but I didn't think that I was that cute to anyone else.'

Daisuke's mother giggled loudly. "That's my little boy! Always looking like a cute little angel." she quickly moved towards Daisuke and gave him a big hug with a mountain of kisses all over his darkening cheeks.

"M-Momma! N-Not now...please?" he said embarrassed, playfully pushing her away. "N-Not in public."

"With you saying that makes you more and more cute, sweetie!"

"Then it's settled." Dr. Sekaki said, feeling accomplished as she pulled out a slip of paper, scribbling a few notes on it. "I will call the school and when you're back on your feet little Daisuke, you will need to get used to getting up in the morning for school now. Alright?"

Now that he was able to pry his mother's kissing attack off of him, his voice sound more and more confident. "Y-Yes Dr. Sekaki."

And with that, Daisuke was now on his way to recover from his illness, and able to get home.

The voice from the darkness was listening to the conversation, unbeknownst to all who were present. 'School? Hmm...that gives me an idea...'
