Chapter 28: Knowing the truth
"Daisuke wake up." Hiroshi called.
Daisuke woke up and realized how Hikari and he were sleeping. Hikari had her arms wrapped around him and her face was in his chest.
"I swear I didn't do anything." Daisuke responded his face turning red.
Hiroshi sighed. "Just get her up and I'll deal with Rokuro." He said walking away.
"Hikari come on it's time to wake up." Daisuke whispered shaking her a bit.
"Five more minutes." She groaned into his shirt.
"No we have to get up now." He said trying to get her up.
"I don't want to." She whined not opening her eyes.
Daisuke tilted her head up and kissed her. Her eyes shot open and her heart skipped a beat.
"Will you wake up now?" Daisuke laughed.
Hikari let go of him and sat up quickly.
"How did you get her up Daisuke?" Rokuro asked as both Hiroshi and Rokuro walked over to them.
Hikari quickly stood up and held on to her brother.
"What are you that shocked that you were hugging Daisuke or something?" Hiro questioned.
"He-he…" She stuttered as her face turned red.
"She wasn't waking up so I kissed her it's no big deal." Daisuke said shrugging his shoulders. The next thing he knew he was kicked in the face. "Now that wasn't very nice." Dai laughed.
"I should kill you; I really should." Hiroshi said pulling Dai up by the collar of his shirt.
"You do that and the spell on you will never ware off." He sighed.
Hiroshi growled and let him go.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Daisuke questioned standing up straight.
"Daisuke house many times have you tried to kill Hikari and myself?" Rokuro said.
"Ah but I haven't tried to kill you but I have tried with Hikari once when I first met her." Daisuke answered. "And as for you Hiroshi are you still mad at me for going to Naraku? Or is that your mood now a days?"
"You left me there to die Daisuke and went with the man that almost killed me." Hirohsi answered.
Daisuke looked down at the ground. "That was almost 50 years ago. I was stupid I know that was the wrong thing to do. But if I didn't go I wouldn't have met Hikari, and she would have never came here. You would have never met or even known that you had a younger sister and Hikari is probably one of Rokuro's best friends." Daisuke replied.
The place fell silent and it seemed that no one wanted to say anything. Then Hiroshi turned towards the entrance of the cave.
"Come on we better get moving." He said turning back around towards the group.
The group followed Hiro and Daisuke got rid of the barrier around the entrance. Rokuro and Hikari got on Kyo's back and took off and Hirohsi and Daisuke quickly followed. They flew in silence for a while.
"Daisuke." Hiroshi called from the other side of Kyo.
Daisuke looked over "What?" Daisuke questioned.
"You were right about before, I should just try to forget about it." He answered not looking at Dai directly.
"Hey don't worry about it I understand." Dai said.
They flew in silence again with Hikari and Rokuro occasionally whispering to each other and laughing.
'All we're doing is flying to nowhere. If anything we're flying closer to Naraku.' Daisuke thought watching where he was flying. 'I wonder why Hikari doesn't see that.' He looked at the back of Hikari's head and then back on what he should be concentrating on.
"HIRO!" Hikari's scream snapped Daisuke out of his thoughts and he was Hiroshi free falling towards the ground.
Daisuke tucked in his wings and let himself free fall to catch up. He wrapped his arms around Hiroshi's waist and spread hit wings again to slow them down before they hit the trees. They still hit the trees and broke a branch or two on the way down but they didn't have as hard of a landing on the ground. "You moron you should have told us if you were getting tired." Daisuke muttered slapping his friends cheek trying to get him to wake up.
"Is he alright?" Rokuro asked as him and Hikari jumped off of Kyo before he could touch down and ran over to them.
"He's fine just unconscious." Daisuke answered.
"He should have told us if he was tired of if he was feeling dizzy." Hikari mentioned.
"Maybe he thought that it would slow us down if he did." Rokuro offered.
"We can't complain now." Daisuke sighed and he looked up at Hikari "Do you care if Hiroshi rides with Rokuro for a while?" He questioned.
"No it's fine." Hikari replied.
"That would mean I would have to carry you." Daisuke told her.
"If it keeps us moving that's fine." She said.
"Alright then." Daisuke sighed picking Hiroshi up and placing him up on Kyo's back.
Rokuro got on after him to make sure that Hiroshi didn't fall off. Then Daisuke picked Hikari up bridal style and He followed Rokuro back up into the sky.
"How long do you think Hiro is going to be out?" Hikari asked.
"I'm not sure hopefully he'll be up by tomorrow it all depends on how hard he pushed himself." Daisuke explained not looking down at her.
They flew in silence again and landed about an hour before dusk set in.
They got Hiroshi leaning against a tree and Hikari stayed with him as Roukro and Daisuke gathered wood for the fire. They got it going and Hikari searched through her bag to find what food she had in there. She pulled out some apples and bottles of water. Daisuke fell asleep a while after dark and Hikari and Rokuro kept the fire going.
"What are you looking at Hikari?" Rokuro questioned.
"Doesn't Daisuke kind of remind you of Zen?" She said.
"Well if you tilt your head and stand on your hands." Hikari punched him. "I'm joking I'm joking yea he does look like Zen." Rokuro answered looking at Daisuke as well.
"Do you think that they are connected in some way?" She muttered resting her head on Rokuro's shoulder.
"I'm not sure. We can ask though." He replied.
Rokuro looked down at Hikari and she had fallen asleep on his shoulder. He laughed a bit and shifted her so he could lay down and her head was on his stomach.
"It makes me think though now that I look at him. It makes me wonder if this search is a waste of time." His eyes started to close. "Like the real Zen has been with us this…whole…time." He said falling asleep.
