Chapter 6

(Daisuke's POV)

"Sato..mph!" I was squashed as another tirade of girls knocked me to the ground as they swarmed Satoshi. I was starting to get slightly irritated.

Barge through! Kick their ass! I could hear Dark yelling at me.

I will not do that Dark, I said, gritting my teeth. Is it just me or are there a lot more girls then usual?

Suddenly, several girls screamed, "It's him! He's the new guy!" Many deserted Satoshi and swarmed around someone with extremely long blonde hair tied in a ponytail with a very familiar looking cross on the end…

I gaped at Krad as he barged past the girls, smirking at me. I turned to stare at Satoshi. He was still there. Then how…!

I could see that Satoshi was just as astounded as I.

(Satoshi's POV)

Krad, you are there right? I called.

Hmm…why? Krad answered. He looked at me inside my head.

Because there's someone who looks exactly like you.

Really? Now how is that? Krad took over my body. I felt needles stabbing at my head.

Krad! You don't need to control me! I yelled at him.

It's easier that way, he said coolly. He did not change into his own form but rather used my form instead. He looked at the new stranger and scowled.

What is it Krad? I asked him. I was not yelling at him for once.

"Bastard...," Krad growled, glaring at the newcomer.

(Krad's POV)

I watched my other side as he walked towards Daisuke, pushing several girls out of the way. Once he had reached him, he grabbed Daisuke's chin and jerked it up. I could hear Daisuke yelp from the unexpected pain.

"Hello Niwa, how do you do?" the man asked.

What do you mean your other side? I heard Satoshi ask from the corner of my mind. Isn't Dark your other side?

This man has the opposite personalities…he just looks the same as me, I answered, still observing the man's actions.

Shouldn't that be Dark?

It's hard to explain…

"K-Krad?" Daisuke stuttered, as the blonde man leaned closer. He chuckled and dug his fingernails into Daisuke's jaw, making it bleed. Daisuke whimpered softly as the blonde tilted closer and licked the blood running down Daisuke's neck.

I heard several people scream at this in disgust and surprise. I could also feel Satoshi bristling in anger. How dare he touch Daisuke! Satoshi shouted in my head. I ignored him and continued to watch.

"Mmm…blood…," The blonde whispered, licking his lips. Daisuke shivered at the look in the man's eye. He straightened up and looked at everyone in the hallway.

"Oh how rude of me. My name is Kariudo. Nice to meet you all," Kariudo said smoothly, but still holding unto Daisuke's jaw. I snarled at him as he pulled Daisuke close to him. He paused for a moment, and turned to look at me. Daisuke struggled to pry Kariudo's hand off of his chin.

"Let go!" he panted from the effort, trying to break free from the iron grip. Kariudo didn't even seem to notice that Daisuke was struggling. He let go of Daisuke anyways, who fell onto the floor with a loud thump! and walked towards me with an evil grin.

"Ah, the descendant of my creator," He smiled at me…or was he smiling at Satoshi? I only stiffened and said shortly, "Let's take this outside. It's too crowded here."

Kariudo smiled again. "Good idea."

I don't know what made me do it, but I snatched Daisuke's wrist and led him outside with us. Daisuke, however, did not take this quietly.

"I'm not a puppet! I can walk on my own thank you very much!" he snapped at me. I turned to glare at him with my golden eyes. I was finally changing into my true form. Daisuke froze for a moment, realizing that I was not Satoshi, but I was impatient so I pulled him so sharply that I was nearly dragging him across the cement. He tried to pull his arm from my grasp again. I let go of him and he fell again on the floor.

"Oww," Daisuke whined, rubbing his butt.

"I'm trying to save your ass. You should be happy," I barked at him. Daisuke narrowed his eyes at me. He pulled himself up and began to walk after Kariudo again.

"And why are you trying to save me?" He retorted angrily after a few minutes passed.

"Keep up you two," Kariudo called over his shoulder. He was several feet in front of us so I could not understand why he needed to say that. He twirled a strand of gold hair around his finger, humming softly. I glared at his back. Is that how I look when I do that? I asked myself.

Yes, I heard Satoshi answer.

That was a rhetorical question, I said to him. Satoshi shrugged and sat down cross-legged in my mind. But secretly in my mind, I swore to never do such a thing again.

Good lord, Satoshi said. He must have heard that stray thought. I scowled at him and snarled, What's that supposed to mean? Satoshi only shrugged again and hid from view. I continued to scowl at the now empty space in my mind. How does he do that?

(Daisuke's POV)

Krad seems to be mad at something. I wonder what, I thought silently.

That's none of your business. Why do you care any…wait don't answer that. It's because Satoshi is in his head right? Dark said, crossing his arms.

Well…not that but…

I heard Dark snort very uncharacteristically. You're a strange person Dai.

You told me that already, I said frowning.

Well I'm telling you again.

Suddenly, I felt a hot breath on my neck. I was startled and I was about to turn when I felt hands on my shoulders, preventing me from circling. I shivered as a felt a tongue flick behind my ear.

"You're still bleeding. You bleed easily don't you?" I heard Kariudo whisper behind my ear. I felt the point of something cold and hard press into my back. I screamed as it pierced into my back.

What the fuck! I heard Dark yell in my head as I screamed.

"Kariudo! Stop that!" I heard Krad yell. It sounded so…far away… Kariudo pushed me away from him. I stumbled slightly and with dazed eyes, watched Kariudo as he neared Krad with something glowing in his hand. A small ball of light. Kariudo flung it at Krad, who dodged it…or did he?

It struck Krad on the shoulder and he screamed in pain. The small light did not fade but began to slowly crawl up his arm. Krad kneeled onto the ground, holding his arm. The light soon had enveloped his whole arm and was slowly devouring the rest of his body.

"Wh-what's this?" he said, sweating slightly. He let another shout as the light covered half his body. I crawled toward him, and screamed, "NO! STOP IT!"

Kariudo ignored my pathetic attempts to distract him and kicked me away from Krad as I made futile attempts to save him.

"It's time for you to suffer as I had when I was stuck in that mirror. Feel the pain; let it control you until you can't help but go insane like me!" Kariudo said laughing crazily a maniacal gleam in his eyes. He pointed his hand at Krad who was almost completely covered in light and began to slowly bend his fingers. Krad screamed even louder, which sent me crawling for Kariudo. I grabbed his leg and tried to trip him but he kicked me again in the stomach which sent me flying a few yards away.

(Krad's POV)

The pain was unbelievable. I felt as if something was eating me alive from the inside, then the outside. What kind of magic is this? How come I can't hear Satoshi anymore? All I wanted was the pain to stop. I wanted to die right now. The pain…the pain…I barely heard Daisuke yelling at Kariudo to release me.

Now only my head was left. I closed my eyes, knowing it was almost over. The pain…The light slowly consumed me and finally it ended and I was gone into blissful blackness. No more pain. No more suffering. It was all gone. I opened my eyes and blinked. I was looking into someone's house. Whose…?

"Emiko!" I heard someone shout.

"Yes papa!" a woman answered.

"I feel magic coming from it again!" Great, I'm stuck at Niwa's house.

"Are you sure? Let me see," The woman named Emiko looked right at me. I raised a brow at her. Does she not see me? Wait…

Satoshi? No answer. I tried again. No one answered. I frowned and looked at Emiko. I narrowed my eyes as Emiko walked toward me, her hands reaching. I stiffened as her hand made contact….I felt nothing.

"You're right papa, there is something there!"

I looked into the woman's eyes, expecting to see myself reflected in those brown hues. To my surprise and horror, all I saw in those eyes was the same mirror Dark had stolen yesterday.
