Chapter 10

(Daisuke's POV)

"Daisuke, do you know anything about that mirror we stole?" Dark asked.

I frowned slightly, pondering his question for a moment. I did know a little...but what was that to do with our situation? I pulled off my jacket and folded it, placing it on the floor. Then, I gently moved Satoshi off my lap and onto the jacket.

"Daisuke, do you hear me?"

"Hold on, I'm thinking," I said. I spread my legs out, stretching them.

Then, I remembered something else. My eyes widened. That was not good. It was definitely not good at all.

"Dark, there's a problem," I said aloud.

I felt pain as if something was tearing me in two but soon, the pain receded and I saw Dark materialize in front of me. Brushing his hair from his eyes, only to have them fall back again, he glanced at me curiously. He sat down cross-legged in front of me, folding his arms under his chest.

"What?"

"How'd you do that?" I asked him, surprised.

"I can only do this for a short amount of time. Now tell me Dai, what do you know?" He said, emphasizing each word.

Sighing, knowing that he would not answer me more than that, I spoke, "It's not just 'that mirror' it's the Mirage of Angels."

"I don't fuckin' care if it's called Mirage of Angels, or Crap of Angels or whatever. Just tell me the damn details," Dark growled at me.

Then, I did something out of character. I glared at him. The only response was a similar glare, directed back at me. My glare intensified. His did, too. Great, now we're doing a staring contest, I thought. After a while, I chose to ignore him.

"Anyways, as I was saying, the Mirage of Angels has magical properties that are quite different than the others. It only works when a magical being such as you and Krad look into it. That's when the magic is implemented. It mirrors the magical being, which in this case, I should say Krad. Then, the being is drawn from the mirror into the real world. Like a mirror, Krad and Kariudo look the same, but they have different "personalities". But there is one minor drawback to that magic. The being that is outside must be reflected in the mirror or, in other words, there has to be another being inside the mirror world. That is what we call a "switch". That is what Kariudo performed...,"

"Wait," Dark cut in, "How come Satoshi didn't switch either?"

"Because he's not a magical being, that's how the mirror works," I said patiently.

"Oh. Then how come they didn't know about this artifact? They are Hikari and they should have known what this was," he said.

I sighed, shaking my head. The fatal mistake.

"The thing is, they weren't the only ones who made this artifact. I'm afraid that there was another family that were involved in the making, too."


(Krad's POV)

I gritted my teeth as I slid down the slick glass. I was bruised several places. Not to mention that I was bleeding profusely from a wound around my thigh. I dodged another blast from Nanashi who was watching me, an evil smirk plastered on his face.

"Come on Krad. Stay stiiilll," Nanashi mocked.

He flung another blast at me. It hit me, hard. I ended up rolling over on the floor, skidding to a stop several yards away. He walked over to me effortlessly and grabbed my shirt.

"What? Are you hurt? I'm sorry, maybe I just have to...," he threw me bodily at an invisible wall, snarling, "hurt you some more!"

I heard a crunch and a burning pain around my knee and chest. I tried to stand, but ended up slumping, groaning from the incredible pain. I was sure that a rib must have pierced my lung. Everytime I took a breath, I felt as if a tree trunk smashed into me, cutting off my air supply. My vision was getting blurry.

So this is what pain is, I thought. I knew pain, but my previous experience was nothing compared to this.


(Satoshi's POV)

"So that's what happened," I said. I looked down at my feet. So I'm stuck with a person that ismore insane than Krad. I didn't even think that was possible, I thought.

"So even if I tried to kill you, that wouldn't be possible?" I asked.

Kariudo shook his head. "Like I said, I divided my soul. I have only half of my soul here and half, the one I like to call Nanashi, is still in a safe place."

"Why are you telling me that? You know I might be able to kill both of those halves, right?"

Kariudo smiled, making me feel...slightly awkward. He strode over to me and placed a hand onto my shoulder. I fidgeted as he leaned closer. I could feel his hot breath on my ear and neck. He was too close to me.

"Even then, Satoshi, you cannot kill me," he whispered.

His hand slowly slipped down my shoulder to my chest, his fingers playing with the buttons on my shirt. I tensed as he undid the first button, working on the next. He nipped my ear gently. I could not get rid of the feeling of wanting to take a shower.

"Stop," I said harshly.

He did not stop, but continued to pull off my shirt. His fingers worked on my nipples, drawing them to attention. I tried to pull away but ended up with my back against the wall. He had me cornered. His hands went to my pants. Moments later, it fell to the floor also. He straddled my hips, his leg going between my legs. I could feel his hardness through the thin fabric of my boxers. I tried to push him off again, but he grabbed my wrists quickly, preventing me from doing so.

"Remember when I said that we would play later?" he said huskily.

"..." I did not answer his question. I knew what he would say.

"Well, now it's time to play."


(Dark's POV)

"WHAT!" I said, shocked. Hikari? Working with another family?

"Surprising isn't it? Our families aren't the only ones that have a curse," Daisuke said.

"Who's family? And what is this curse?"

"The Tanaka family. The curse is kind of like our curse. It concerns a fallen angel named Nanashi. Very similar to our curse except Nanashi is kind of crazy."

"What the hell! How crazy!"

"To the point where he has another level of craziness to be named for."

"Damn."

"Yeah, I know. The last Tanaka thought him as a threat so he needed Hikari's help to seal this being, so they made the Mirage of Angels. Together they sealed Nanashi inside with a few secrets. But, Nanashi had a few tricks up his sleeve. He learned a magic called "rebound". So he divides his soul in half and one half is sealed while the other half...when there is another being that looks in, that's when he takes the "switch". He can mold into another person. No one knows his true form except for Tanaka. We need him to know how to seal the other half."

"Then we should go look for him!"

"Unfortunately, he's dead."

"WHAT!"

"He was last of the line, so that's why we have a problem," Daisuke finished sadly.

"There always has to be catch," I said, frustrated.

"At least we have one lead."

"What?"

"I think I know where Krad is," Daisuke said, giving me a look.

I suddenly smiled, too. He was in the mirror. The only problem was getting him out. But at least, we knew something. Feeling reenergized, I jumped up, prepared to run to Daisuke's house. Turning around, I saw Daisuke hopping around on his foot and slumping slightly.

"Come on Dai, what's the matter with you?" I asked, my brow furrowing. It was a sight, watching him trying to stand, then falling again. He fell onto his knees. I walked over to him.

"Daijouka?"

"My foot fell asleep," Daisuke said, giving me a pathetic look.

I ended up, rolling around the floor, laughing uncontrollably. Daisuke looked down at me, pouting.

"What's so funny?"

"HAHAH! The...HAHA...way you...," I choked. His befuddled expression only made me laugh even more. I knew if I didn't stop soon, I would die from laughter. But Daisuke looked so...Tears started to come from my eyes and I held my stomach, trying to breath.


WhiteWolf92: I know it was short. Don't bite me because I didn't write much. The only reason is because my computer tries to shut down on me but next time I'll try writing more ok?

Dark: (still laughing) HAHAHA!

Krad: (walks out of mirror and hits Dark on the head. Then, he walks back in.)

WhiteWolf92: Hey! You can't do that!

Krad: Yes I can.

(WhiteWolf92 and Krad starts to argue on and on while Dark...)

Dark: x.x

(Daisuke starts cracking up and WhiteWolf92 and Krad stare at him.)

Krad: Should I?

WhiteWolf92: No. Should we?

(Then, nodding at each other, WhiteWolf92 grabs a sword and Krad walks with a feather in his hand)

Daisuke: Uhh...(sweatdrops) Why are you looking at me like that? EEEEP! (runs away while WhiteWolf92 and Krad chase after him)

(You hear a bunch of screams and thuds)

WhiteWolf92: (walks back with hair disheveled) Hope you liked our little show.

BOOM!

WhiteWolf92: KEEP IT DOWN! IF I FIND THAT YOU DESTROYED ANY PART OF MY HOUSE I'LL...

(there is a loud sound and one third of the house explodes)

WhiteWolf92: (Stares, disbelievingly at what is left of house) Haha... I'm ruined...(faints)

Satoshi: (walks in) What the hell...? Oh no Krad, you are not killing my uke! (runs into the fray)

Dark: x.x
