A/N: So I hope you liked the last chapter, even though it was a filler. I'm sure that people want to know what's going on with Hikari and Daisuke so it's back to that part of the story.

Chapter 20: Until We Meet Again.

"Hikari my feet hurt. Can I just fly you the rest of the way there?" Daisuke offered.

"So change back to your self and fly ahead, no one's stopping you." Hikari replied waving her hand.

"I asked to fly you the rest of the way there not be a scout." Daisuke groaned.

"And I told you before I'm walking. I don't like flying."

"But it gets you to places faster."

"I thought you didn't like your wings?"

"I didn't say that, I would just prefer that you didn't run in places that I can't get threw."

"Right, you keep telling your self that." Hikari sighed walking faster.

"Don't start this again." He pleaded walking faster.

"I'm not starting anything you're that one that starts it."

"I didn't start this argument. You just don't like to listen to reason." Daisuke stated matter of factly.

"Whatever."

"I'm right you just don't want to admit it."

Hikari kept walking in silence. Daisuke huffed and kept walking. They walked for about three more hours then finally took a break.

"Come on we have to keep moving I want to get back before the sun sets." Hikari stated tapping her foot on the ground.

"Relax, if worse comes to worse I'll just finish flying you home." He sighed lying down.

"Relax? How can I relax when Rokuro and Hiroshi are home alone?"

"So they're big boys they can handle themselves."

"I know that. I just don't know what things they could get into."

Thunder cracked across the sky. Hikari and Daisuke looked up at the sky in the distance the saw a dark cloud heading there way. Daisuke quickly stood up. The dark cloud was quickening its pace.

"Let's go." Daisuke ordered grabbing Hikari's wrist as he ran past her.

"I thought that you wanted to relax?" Hikari stated sarcastically.

"I've seen that kind of cloud before. Naraku sent it out after me once before because I tried to run away from him." Daisuke mentioned in a panic.

"And your point being?" Hikari asked.

"I don't know how he keeps finding me." He started changing back into his normal self.

"What wrong? Why are you changing back?"

"The cloud is draining my magic. It's never done this before."

The wind started picking up and the sky started to darken.

"Look there's the well." Hikari shouted in satisfaction.

They were about to the well when they saw Hiro and Rokuro come out of the well.

"What are you two doing here?" Hikari asked.

"We came looking for you." Hiro answered.

"Now isn't a good time." Daisuke shouted over the wind.

Then the cloud formed a vortex around the small group. They were being sucked up. Everyone linked hands and Hiro grabbed on to the well.

"Hikari let go it only wants me." Daisuke shouted over the wind.

"No; I'm not going to lose you to."

"You guys I can't hold on much…" Hiro's hand slipped and they all went flying up. Daisuke grabbed Hikari and held on to her tight. The all slammed onto the floor.

"So this is who you've been with. I don't think Naraku will be too happy about that." Zen smirked kicking Daisuke in the back between the shoulder blades.

"Ahhh!" Daisuke screamed.

"Hikari have you really sunk that low to go out with him?" Zen asked in a mocking town.

"We're not going out." Hikari replied.

Zen ripped Hikari out of Daisuke's arms and threw her against the wall. Hiroshi stood up and punched Zen in the face.

"You damn bastard." Hiroshi growled grabbing Zen's shirt and going to punch them again.

"NO STOP!" Hikari shouted standing up.

"Why?" Hiro demanded.

"Because that's Zen. He's my friend."

"Really I don't think a friend would throw them up against a wall." Hiro answered.

Zen elbowed Hiro in the gut knocking him away then kicked him in the side of the head making him stumble.

"I don't need to deal with this Naraku just wants to see Hikari and Daisuke." Zen said knocking Rokuro out first. Then he went behind Hiroshi and hit a pressure point.

He fell to the ground. "Hikari, Daisuke run." Then Hiroshi fell unconscious.

Hikari and Daisuke stood up, but were brought back down.

"A binding spell." Daisuke snarled.

"Your magic is quiet useful Daisuke." Zen chuckled.

"So you're the one that was taking my magic. When have you been able to do that?"

"That is one thing you will never know." Zen grabbed Daisuke and Hikari and threw them over his shoulder and walked out of the room.

Then threw them on the ground and broke the bounds on there hands and feet. A whip wrapped around Daisuke's throat and brought him up off the ground.

"Where have you been the past few days? You know I don't like it when you run off." The grip tightened around Daisuke's throat. "Maybe I should punish you; but you did bring me Hikari again. So I guess the punishment won't be as harsh." Naraku smirked.

"Go…to…hell…" Daisuke choked out.

An electric shock pulsed through Daisuke's body. Once the shock had ended he was dropped to the floor and gasped for air.

"Daisuke." Hikari whispered.

"Such disrespectful words Daisuke. I'm very disappointed in you." Naraku stated.

Then he looked up at Hikari and started towards her.

"Now my dear have you reconsidered and want to help me find the jewel fragments?" He asked placing hand on her cheek.

"Don't touch her." Daisuke spat holding his throat.

Naraku smirked at him "I see so this is what has been keeping you away. You're in love with Hikari." He grabbed Hikari's neck and started to squeeze. "What if I took her away?"

"STOP!" Daisuke shouted standing up to attack Naraku.

Zen pushed him back down.

"Damn it stop… I'll do anything you want just don't hurt her."

Naraku released Hikari and she started coughing.

"Obey me." Naraku ordered sending another electric shock threw Daisuke rendering him unconscious. "Zen take them back to their room and bring both of them back once he wakes up."

"Yes my lord." Zen obeyed picking up Daisuke and grabbing Hikari's wrist to take them to Daisuke's room.

Zen threw Hikari and Daisuke into the room and locked the door behind him. Hikari listened to him walk away. Then she crawled over to him and started shacking him.

"Daisuke wake up. You have to wake up." She started crying a tear streamed down her cheek and dripped onto his face. "Please wake up…please." She whispered.

Daisuke's eyes slowly opened. But they weren't his normal eyes they were emotionless like Zen's eyes.

"W-who are you?" he spoke barley in a whisper.

"Stop being stupid; you know who I am. I'm Hikari remember?" She asked in a state of worry.

"H-Hikari." He repeated staring at her blankly.

"Don't you remember me?" Tears started to swell up in the corner of her eyes again.

"I don't know you, now please let me get up."

Hikari got out of his way and backed away from him.

'What am I going to do? I've lost Zen, now I've lost Daisuke…wait he said something about me breaking the spell on him before. How did I do it… …that's right he kissed me. But that means that this time I have to kiss him.' She thought staring at Daisuke's back.

She crawled towards him and sat in front of him.

"What?" He asked kind of annoyed with her now.

'I can't believe I'm doing this.' She told herself. "Daisuke you have to remember." She ordered. Then she kissed him.

The emotion raced back to his eyes. He was shocked at first then he brought her closer and kissed her back.

"I thought you didn't like me?" He stated after they parted. He whipped away the tears from her eyes. "You cried for me."

"You're back." She laughed happily hugging him.

"Hikari… Thank you." Daisuke whispered in her ear. "Someone's coming." He muttered.

Hikari quickly backed away to the wall. Zen walked into the room. Daisuke stood up but kept his head tilted down.

"I see you are back to your normal self." Zen smirked placing a hand on Daisuke's shoulder.

Daisuke grabbed Zen's wrist. "You're right I am back to normal; but you're not." Daisuke placed a hand on Zen's forehead.

"What are you doing?" Zen demanded.

"Hikari grab my wrist. I think if both of us tried we could contact the real Zen." Dai ordered.

She grabbed his wrist. "Then what will happen if we don't?" She asked.

"We die. Now what ever you do don't let go." He replied quickly.

Then their subconsciouses were forced into Zen. Their bodies went limp and slid down to the floor.

"Ahhh...." Zen clutched his head and stumbled around the room. "…Get out of my head." He tripped over Daisuke's arm and hit his head on the wall. Everything faded to black.

"Hikari you can look now we're safe." Daisuke said stroking her hair.

Hikari was clutching his shirt and she looked around.

"Where are we?" She asked in wonder.

"Zen subconscious and now we have to find him." Daisuke answered striating his shirt.

"Look there he is." Hikari said in excitement starting towards him.

"Hikari slow down." Daisuke shouted running after her.

Hikari and Daisuke got him. He was hanging there in chains motionless.

"Zen, Zen I'm here. Wake up." She begged pulling at the chains.

He woke up. "H-Hikari what are you doing here?" His voice was scratchy. He looked up then quickly looked down.

"I'm sorry for what I've done Zen." Daisuke apologized.

"No don't blame you it was my own stupid fault. You tried to help me but I wasn't strong enough to overcome his control. But how did you two get here?" He asked.

"Daisuke got us here."

"Hikari you're fading." Zen stated.

"This spell doesn't last very long." Daisuke stated.

"I can talk to you out side for now anyways." Zen told them before they completely disappeared.

Daisuke and Hikari shot up and Zen groaned as he got up rubbing the back of his head.

"What the hell happened?" He asked.

Zen still had the blonde hair and blue eyes but they had emotion to them this time.

"Daisuke bound my hands together." Zen ordered.

"Why?"

"He could wake up at any moment."

Daisuke bound Zen's hands together.

"I know you want to talk Hikari; but if you say anything to me he will tell Naraku."

Hikari sat there silently.

"Daisuke don't place my burden on your self. I chose to do this on my own free will."

"What?!" Hikari said in shock.

"I wanted to protect you. But in doing so Naraku sealed up my kindness what I am what you've known me to be and brought out my jealousy and hatred, then twisted my thoughts making me hate you." Zen explained. He grabbed his head again. "I'm running out of time, Daisuke get her out of here."

"Alright let's go Hikari." Daisuke said they started walking out of the room.

"Daisuke." Zen said quietly.

He turned around. The light in his eyes started to fade.

"Please protect Hikari." He asked.

"I will." He replied closing the door behind him then ran after Hikari. "We have to find Hiro and Rokuro first."

"What do you think I'm doing?" She stated coldly opening a random door. "Oh look at that I found them."

"It was a lucky guess." Daisuke said flatly.

"Well that's nice for you; now untie us so we can get the hell out of here." Hiro mentioned.

"Right sorry." Hikari laughed running to Hiro and untying his hands and feet.

Daisuke got Rokuro's ropes.

Zen stood in the doorway. "Do you think your pathetic binding spell can hold me?"

Daisuke stood up and charged at Zen slamming him into the wall "Go now I'll catch up." They ran out of the room Hikari leading the way.

"What the hell do you think you're doing Daisuke?"

Daisuke clenched his fist and cocked it back. "I'm keeping a promise." He answered throttling Zen in the face then kicking him back into the room and shutting the door.

He easily caught up with the rest of them quite quickly and he lead them the rest of the way out and into the woods. They stopped to take a breather. The sun finished setting and Hiroshi changed into a human.

"Hikari I forgot to say thank you back there." Daisuke mentioned.

"What for?" She asked confused.

"For the kiss." Dai smiled.

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Rokuro and Hiro said in unison.

"It was to get him back to normal." Hikari said her face turning red.

"You know you liked it." He laughed gentle and mischievously poking Hikari in the side. "Besides it's not the first time we've kissed. That's right I figured out where you got the idea. It worked the first time so why not try it again." He stated matter of factly.

"WHAT?!" They said again.

"Daisuke changed into your human form." Hiroshi sighed in frustration.

"Why?"

"So I can kick you ass twice over for kissing my little sister." Hiroshi cracked his knuckles and started towards Daisuke, Rokuro stopped him.

"Why have you been so mad at me lately?"

"Oh I don't know maybe it's because you've placed a spell on me that you can't break, you keep getting us into dangerous situations, and my favorite part you kissed my sister… twice."

"Okay I understand now, sorry about that." Daisuke said waving his hand aimlessly in the air.

The trees were ripped out at there roots.

"Kagura!" Daisuke said looking up at the sky.

"You can not escape the wind Daisuke." Kagura stated closing her fan.

Dai threw his hand up in the air. "Try me." Black feathers started spinning rapidly around the small group of four and they disappeared.

He took them the hill just out front of Rokuro's house.

"Sorry guys this was as far as I could take us with what magic I had left." Daisuke painted. He stood up strait and took a deep breath "You guys go I'll drag them away."

"But Daisuke." Hikari whispered with some disappointment in her voice.

He turned to her and gently touched her cheek. "Don't worry Hikari; we'll see each other again." He looked up at Hiro "Besides I think Hiro wants me to leave for a while." He looked back down at Hikari. "Seeing as how I'm leaving I don't see why I can't." Daisuke quickly kissed Hikari on the lips and took off. "See ya around." He shouted as he faded into the distance.
