Satoshi's P.o.v

Damn that Krad he's really gone too far this time. I sighed and put my head in my hands, grimly looking over at Miss Momiya's beaten and bloody body 'why the hell did you do this!'

~because she was a distraction, you and I are part of the same body so I can feel exactly what you feel towards a person master Satoshi and the feelings you were gaining over these past few days have become a bother. I am the only one who will care for you~

'YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME IN THE SLIGHTEST IF YOU DID YOU WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS, NOT ONLY THAT DARK WILL COME AFTER YOU AS WELL!'

~DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT! I CARE ABOUT HER JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO, MORE EVEN, AND IF I CAN'T HAVE HER NO ONE CAN, ESPAECIALLY NOT THAT DARK MOUSY ~

I was dumbfounded. That cold hearted bastard is actually able to love 'Krad... she'll never love us any more then friends maybe family... we can never get her to love us like she loves Dark'

~I know... I really regret doing this now~

I sighed heavily, that night was a complete nightmare and it only happened 5 days ago, just seeing Krad slash into her was enough to make me fight against him at my strongest. Standing I walked over to the cot I placed her on and checked all of her bandages and replaced the ones that were coated in blood, even her hair was matted. Jogging down to the kitchen I filled a bowel with warm water and grabbed a sponge from the cupboard ~what are you doing master Satoshi?~

'I need to clean the blood off her'

~I'll do it, I caused this~

'are you sure?'

~yes~

'alright, take over from here'

He nodded in my head and I felt my body shifting but surprisingly it didn't hurt like it normally did.

Krad's P.o.v

After shifting to my physical body I picked up the bowel and sponge then carried them into Satoshi's room where Rayne was currently staying and set them on the bedside table, carefully sitting down on the bed, brushing the hair from her face "to think one such as I did this to someone as innocent as you..." I sighed and rolled up my sleeves then took off my gloves, placing them beside the bowel then picked up the sponge and ringed it out, gently dabbing her face to clear the blood. After about an hour most of the visible blood was gone so I dropped the sponge back into the bowel "done"

'well Krad you did a good job'

~of course master Satoshi... I'll use some of my power to heal her and then we will just have to wait for her to wake up~

'alright just do everything you can before Dark finds us or specifically you'

I nodded then gently placed my hand on her forehead and muttered a quick incantation in an ancient language causing my hand to glow for a few moments before it faded ~that should do it... is it alright if I stay out till she wakes up?~

'if it means that much to you then I guess you can... but if she freaks out change back to me if you can't calm her'

~thank you~

Standing I stretched my arms and legs then took the bowel back to the kitchen and rinsed it out, sticking it in the dishwasher, and putting it away while disposing of the sponge. When everything was tidy I went back up to the room and sprawled out on the couch where I fell asleep instantly.

The next time I woke up it was to shifting so I quickly opened my eyes to see Rayne sitting up and looking round but when her eyes landed on me she tried to scream so I dashed over and covered her mouth gently while holding her with the other "shh shh calm down, I'm not going to hurt you just calm down" she started shaking so I knew she was crying and I put my arm round her then stroked her hair after releasing her mouth "shh calm down hun" she sniffled and cautiously leaned against my chest so I pecked her forehead "that's better just take deep breaths" she calmed after a while and looked up at me "w-where am I?" I smiled faintly and stroked her head "in Satoshi's manor, as you know about Dark and that kid, myself and Satoshi are the same thing" she nodded then looked at her hands making me frown "...I'm sorry Rayne... for everything" she blinked then leaned on me again "it's okay... you had your reasons for doing what you did but since your apologising I think you've become a better person" I nodded gently and pecked her forehead "there are some clothes in the drawer next to you, grab them and I'll show you to the bathroom" she nodded again so I left the room 'well done Krad'

~for what?~

'being able to apologise and be nice'

~thank you~

My P.o.v

As soon as Krad left the room I opened the drawer and pulled out a pile of clothes and a pair of shoes then carefully climbed out of bed and hobbled towards the door, tripping and stumbling slightly, but Krad caught me "careful hun" I nodded and took his hand as he lead me to the bathroom "how long have I been asleep?" he glanced back at me slightly before looking ahead "about 4 days now, your all over the news as well, your brother Akio is desperate to find you" I frowned and clutched my heart "how will Satoshi get me home without a cover story for what happened?" he smiled a bit "he already has everything planned out and will call the police after your cleaned up alright?" I nodded gently and stopped when he opened a door "this is the bathroom, Satoshi will be downstairs when you're done, he says to leave the bandages and any dirty clothes on the floor, he'll throw them away later... when you want to come down just follow the corridor and you'll find the stairs, go down them then turn right, the kitchen is just through there" I bowed my head slightly then waited for him to leave before going inside and stripping down, jumping in the shower, and gently scrubbing my cuts with a clean cloth.

When I was done I gently dried myself on a towel I found in a cupboard then dressed in the clothes Krad told me about which was a blue and white flowing dress that reached my knees.

I smoothed out the creases before picking up the towel and dropping it down the laundry chute then opening the door to the hallway, walking out, and then going down the corridor to where Krad said the stairs were. After descending them I looked round for a bit then turned right and jogged into the kitchen where Satoshi was sitting reading a newspaper "um Satoshi?" he looked up and smiled slightly "miss Momiya your looking better, come have a seat" I nodded and sat across from him "well I'm sure you're wondering about most things so I'll explain briefly, after Krad attacked you I fought against him and gained control of my body so I grabbed you and ran back here so I could treat your wounds" he stopped for a moment so the information could sink in before continuing "I've been looking after you for the past 4 days while Krad reflected on what he did and as you know he is very sorry" I nodded gently while twiddling my thumbs "not to sound ungrateful or anything but when can I go home, I miss my brother" he smiled and stood up "we can go now, the story is that you were attacked when you were at school getting your gym kit and after your attackers fled you stumbled around where I came across you and you know the rest" I tilted my head and nodded "you treated me right?" he nodded and opened the front door, closing it behind me quietly "we'll take the limo to the police station and then your brother can get you" I nodded and hugged him gently "thank you Satoshi, you to Krad" he smiled and nodded "Krad says your welcome" I smiled and got in the limo when it pulled round while Satoshi did the same.

"Thank god I was so scared I lost you Ray!"

I grinned weakly as Akio hugged me tightly, knocking the breath out of me "Akio I missed you to but I would like to breathe!" he loosened his grip and I took a deep breath of air "sorry I'm just glad your alright, when I called the police they said the hall looked like a massacre had happened" I sighed and leaned against him "I'm fine really, can we go home I'm really sleepy but I need to stop by Daisuke's on the way" he nodded while raising an eyebrow "he's not your boyfriend is he cause if he is I think we need to have 'the talk'" I gaped at him, mouth hanging open "oh no, no, no Daisuke is my best friend and if you ever think of giving me that lecture I will have to strangle you" he laughed and nodded, tugging me out the door to where his motorcycle was parked "by the way where did you get that dress?" smiling nervously I rubbed my head "Satoshi got it for me, my clothes were all ripped up" he scowled at the door till I smacked him "give over he saved me from dying" he sighed and nodded, mounting the bike while I got on behind him "I'll drop you off at Daisuke's, I'll wait for you at home alright?" I nodded against his back and held on as he drove off.
