Chapter 18: I Don't Want You to Leave Me

"Are you sure? I can take you back to your house if you want me to."

"Daisuke I can handle getting back to me house with out your help."

"Are you sure about that?" Daisuke smirked pointing out side.

Hikari sighed and walked out side and looked down. She turned around and glared at him.

"You did that on purpose you jerk." She growled.

"I did no such thing." He stated crossing his arms but he could help but smile at his work.

"Fine, I'll just jump down." She said with confidence.

"No you won't."

"Yes I will."

"No."

"YES I WILL!! Why am I even arguing with you?"

"Because you're trying to delay your self from jumping. When you already know that you will most likely die if you do."

"NO. Watch me." She stated jumping.

Daisuke ran after her and jumped. He quickly gained momentum to catch up with Hikari.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" He shouted as the ground was quickly getting closer with each passing second.

He grabbed her and spread out his wings trying to slow them down.

"Come on, come on, come on!" He gritted her teeth.

They gently land on the ground. Hikari pushed herself out of his arms.

"I would have been fine." She shouted.

"OH YEA YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST FINE. YOU COULD HAVE BROKEN YOUR LEGS, OR WORSE YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOUSELF KILLED!" He debated back.

"You're hopeless!" She yelled turning around.

"Why won't you trust me when I say not to jump?" Daisuke questioned grabbing her shoulder and turning her around to face him.

"I don't know Daisuke, maybe I won't trust you because of all the times you've tried to kill me." Hikari answered pushing him away again and started walking away.

"Hey don't walk away from me." He stated catching up with her.

"Look thank you for saving me, now leave me alone." She thanked and started walking faster.

He quickly caught up with her.

"Really and you still trust Zen. If I recall correctly he's tried to kill you already." He said stating the obvious.

"It's not Zen. Just leave me alone." Hikari muttered tears started streaming down her face and she ran.

Daisuke ran after her. She cut into the woods knowing it would be hard for Daisuke to get threw with his wings.

"Damn it." He muttered taking flight. He quickly spotted her. "There's no way I can stop her… Wait yes there is." He told himself flying ahead of her to an opening he knew she would have to go threw. He changed forms and fell down to the earth below.

Hikari skid to a stop the tears still streaming down her face. Daisuke stood up he was in his form from the day before with the sun light hitting him Hikari was able to get a good look at him. He was wearing all black had black hair and the ice blue eyes from his human form.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE?!" She screamed running the other way.

"Hikari stop this. You don't even know where you're going." Daisuke reminded running after her.

"I don't care as long as it's away from you." She stated.

With out his wings he could easily maneuver threw the trees. He got in front of Hikari and put his arms out.

"Hikari stop." He ordered.

She turned left and ran faster.

"Ahhh, will you stop running." Daisuke sighed in frustration.

Hikari zig zaged threw the trees then finally stopped and looked around. She sighed and leaned against a tree to catch her breath. Then her feet, hands, and mouth were bound shut and she fell to the ground. Daisuke dropped down out of the tree in front of her. He sat her up right.

"Now you're going to sit here and let me talk to you." Daisuke said at eye level.

He wiped away Hikari's tears then stood up. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier about Zen. But what I said was true and you know it. You can't just keep thinking that it's not Zen; it's just someone with the same name. Yes I've also done terrible things to you too. I took your best friend away from you and turned him against you. I've tried to kill you in the past. Also I've kidnapped you. And finally I kissed you with out asking permission." He explained walking back and forth.

"When I kissed you that night… it started making Zen feel jealous. Making him think that I could kiss you but he couldn't. And that was the reason I kissed you… well that's half right. But that's not what I wanted to say." He stopped pacing and stood in front of her. "You kept saying to leave you alone. I didn't. I care about you Hikari, why don't you see that. Honest I could easily placed a spell on you to make you forget about Zen just for you to notice that I was here. But then what would have been the point? It would have just been fake." He looked away. "All I wanted was for you to like me. I went about it the wrong way." He glanced at Hikari and saw she was trying to tell him something so he unbound her mouth.

"You hate me don't you? For all the things I've done." Daisuke muttered.

"NO… …no I don't hate you." She looked down.

"Then why won't you let me be with you?"

"I don't know?" She muttered.

"You still love Zen. You don't want to give him up."

"No that's not true."

"Yes it is you love him and he loved you." Daisuke snapped. "But ever since Naraku got his hand s on him he as done nothing but resent you and try to kill you for causing him pain."

"I've never caused him pain."

"Are you sure about that Hikari? The first time we met you protected him instead of him protecting you."

Hikari mouth started to quiver. "What do you know about love any ways?" She shouted as the tears started trickling down her face again.

He knelt down and touched her face "Obviously not much even though I've been around." He wiped away her tear. "But I know that I love you, and I just want you to give me a chance. Zen's not here but I am." He unbound her hands and feet. "Now I'm asking you please give me a chance." He said in a gentle and southing voice.

"I'll think about it." She replied.

"No I don't want to wait for you to think about it. I want to know if you'll give me a chance." He demanded.

"I-I don't know." She answered.

Daisuke sighed and let go of Hikari. "I want to be with you Hikari. I'll do anything for you. Don't you get that?"

"…fine" Hikari whispered.

"What?!" He said in shock.

"You can take me home."

Daisuke helped her up. "That wasn't the answer I was looking for."

"But we're walking. I don't like flying that much." She ordered.

They started walking. It was silent between them for 20 minuets.

"What do you have to wait until the spell wears off to change out of that form?" Hikari finally asked breaking the silence.

"No not with this one. I can keep this form as along as I want; because with this form I still have all my demon powers. With my human form I have to wait until it wears off because I have no control over that one." He explained as they walked into a village.

Some girls came running up to Hikari and Daisuke. They pushed Hikari out of the way.

"Oh my gosh you are amazingly hot."

"Do you want to go out with me?"

Hikari started walking away. "Stupid girls, stupid form." She muttered under her breath.

"Hikari! Hikari, wait." He shouted pushing threw the girls and running to catch up with her.

"No." She answered not stopping.

"Lets not do this again Hikari. I'm sorry." He said keeping up with her pace.

"Is that all you can say. I'm sorry for this I'm sorry for that. When is it going to end?"

"Hikari."

"No I don't want to here it." she ordered cupping her hands over her ears.

"Ahhh." He growled stepping in front of her and pulling her hands off her ears.

"What is your problem? I'm letting you walk me home."

"That's not my problem I'm wondering why you just stormed off on me like that."

"Oh I don't know maybe it was…" she cupped her hands together "…Oh my gosh you're so hot." She said in a squeaky voice. "Or, will you go out with me." Her face was all sparkly. Then it went back to her annoyed face expression.

"Gezz you don't have to be so critical about it. If you wanted me to change back I'll do it. I just thought you would feel better if I stayed like this."

Hikari tried getting past him but he kept getting in her way.

"Move." She ordered.

"No."

"I SAID MOVE!"

"Yeah, and I said no. I'm not moving until you answer my question."

"You didn't ask me a question."

"Well now I am why did you get so worked up when those girls surrounded me?"

Hikari blushed and looked away. "That's none of your business why I left."

"Yes it is."

Hikari jumped over him and landed on the other side and started walking. Daisuke caught up.

"Come on Hikari Just answer my question and I'll stop asking questions for the rest of the way."

"I walked away because I wanted to. Are you happy now?" Hikari answered.

"But?"

"No more questions." She ordered.

And they kept walking. They walked in silence again.

…to be continued…

A/N: Well I got it done. I'm happy about that. I'm not sure if you can really call this a cliff hanger or not. I hope to get the next chapter up soon.
