:: Means a note // means where ever Dark and Krad are.
Dai woke up the next morning snuggled up with Satoshi and sadly with sunlight right in his eyes. He pouted, still half asleep, and moaned.
"Stupid...bright...light." He muttered angrilly as he tried to get out of Satoshi's hold.
"No movin." Satoshi murmered still almost asleep.
"I can move if I want, Satoshi." Dai scolded.
"Mm? Dai?" Satoshi said as his eyes opened. "Ow. Stupid light."
"Exactly what I said. Its about time we woke up anyway. Its about eigh..."
He was cut off by the loud speaker. Thankfully the Azumano school had the hotel and that part of the beach to themselves for the two weeks.
"Attention all students! We are going to have a beach contest day today. ALL are requested to particapate. It will be a type of relay type games and pure class fun. Please go to breakfast and head to the beach by nine thirty. Thank you." SAQUEEL.
Obviosly the teacher didnt know how to work the speaker because it made a horrid noise as she got off. Dai and Satoshi flinched and covered their ears.
"Obviously..." Satoshi said with a delicate yawn (b/c I cant see him with a 'huge mouth falling open' yawn). "We're not sleeping in. What fun." Sarcasm pure sarcasm.
"Now Satoshi, dont be so mean." Dai said as he sat up and went to his bag.
"Im not mean. I was stating what was on my mind with inflective tones."
"Inflective tones my bum." Dai said laughing.
"Nuh-uh." Satoshi said in a negative way. "My bum."
Satoshi had walked over to Dai and encircled Dai's waist with his arms, making Dai giggle. Dai stood up and leaned against Satoshi.
"What if I want to keep my bum?"
"Too late."
Dai laughed and pulled away from Satoshi to go change. "Hurry and change Satoshi. Ill change in the bathroom."
"Alright."
A couple minutes later Dai and Satoshi had changed into trunks and matching dark blue tank tops. Dai tossed his clothes at his bag and sat down on the desk chair on his side of the room.
"Satoshi?" He seemed nervous.
"Yeah Dai?" He looked over his shoulder while he neatly folded his clothes to put in his bag.
"This...whats between us...I..."
"Are you scared about what's happened?"
"No! I just...think that we...need to well, uh..." He ruffled the back of his hair nervously.
"You only ruffle you hair when your nervous concentrating or confused. Whats wrong Dai?" He sat on his computer chair backwards to lay his crossed arms across the back of the seat. (SEXY...cough sorry)
Dai flushed slightly. He didnt mean to be so readable.
"Well I just think that...we should well..." He swallowed heavilly and stared at his feet instead of Satoshi. "I think we should t-take it s-slow."
"You were worried about that?" Satoshi had no hint of laughter at the simple statement in his voice.
Dai timidly looked up at him. "Y-yeah."
"Dai I wont force you into anything you dont want. I would never do that to you."
Dai smiled a bit. "Thanks Satoshi." He stood up. "I guess we should be getting to breakfast."
"Yeah." Satoshi held a hand out after he stood up for Dai.
Dai blused slightly. "Satoshiii!"
Satoshi smiled. "Yes?" He tried to sound innocent.
"Not im public. Not yet anyway."
"Alright." He pouted.
"Fine. Only until the cafeteria." Dai smiled.
Satoshi chuckled as Dai grabbed his hand, linking them, and they walked out of the room. After locking the door the two walked down the hall happily, ignoring the odd glance every now and then.
"Satoshi." Dai whined quietly.
"Yeah?" He liked how the slightly shorter boy was holding his hand nervously.
"Their giving us odd looks..." He was really fidgity.
"Because of our hands."
Dai nodded. "I dont think Imreadyforthis." His last words smeared together in his rush to get them out.
It took Satoshi a few seconds to figure out what Dai said. "Thats fine. Im not going to push you."
Dai smiled up to him as he gave his hand a small squeeze before pulling his hand out of his grip. Dai's smile faded.
"Im sorry, Satoshi." He looked back up a him as they walked into the cafeteria. "Sorry Im not realy for it. I feel bad because I like you a lot and Im too afraid..."
"Dai, dont worry. In public takes time and since I cant give a crap for any of them its easier for me." He tried to give Dai an encouraging smile but Dai wouldnt look up at him.
Dai seemed to be too self loathing to look up at Satoshi. Satoshi couldnt ignore the urge to make Dai blush just then, so he tickled Dai's side.
The poor redhead wasnt expecting to be tickled and squealed quite loudly from his place in line. He gave Satoshi a glare but couldnt keep it up when Satoshi was chuckling.
"Pay back, Dai." He said in Dai's ear after everyone had stopped staring.
Dai playfully pushed Satoshi away a bit. "Not fair, Satoshi."
"You didnt say pay back had to be fair. There is no rules." By then they were almost all the way through the line.
When Dai and Satoshi sat down Takeshi was already seated, muttering about something. "Mmmorning Dai." Takeshi said trying to stiffle a yawn. "Did NOT want up this early!"
"Sorry Takeshi?" Dai asked with a smile.
"Not your..." He yawned again as he poked his food. "fault."
By ten everything was set up for the day of fun and all straggelers had arrived already. Half of the class was sitting under umbrella's while the guys sat everything up.
"ALRIGHT!" The teacher called, way to happy for the morning. "Were going to have volleyball and tug of war right now."
She began splitting the class in half since they would be switching games after a while. "Hmmmmm. Niwa. Niwa." She tapped her chin. "Volleyball. Hiwatari. Tug of war."
Dai looked at Satoshi and watched the taller shrug. "Ill see you later then, Satoshi."
"Yeah. Dont worry You'll kick some butt."
"I dont get to kick yours though." Both laughed then walked to their assigned game.
"OOOH! Niwa! Be on my team!"
"No be on my team!"
"Mine!" A gaggle of girls were surrounding him.
The teacher came over and told the class that Takeshi and Keishi were the two team captains. Takeshi got to choose first.
"Daisuke."
"Riku."
"...(Room mates name)"
Et cetera. The two teams were decided within ten minutes and to Dai's disappointment Seriko was playing volleyball but thankfully was on the other team.
The game began and Dai stayed in the back to not let Seriko beam him or something. Half an hour later the score was eighteen to three in favor of Seriko.
Dai was NOT going to let HIM win. He switched places with a girl up front and stood beside Takeshi.
"I wondered when you'd start to really play." Takeshi said without looking at Dai.
"Im not letting Seriko win."
"Good. Just like gym?"
"Yeah."
The ball came over the net and Takeshi hit it straight up then Dai beamed it over right at a girls feet who squealed in fright and admiration for Dai (Who was wearing a tank top like any other guys but his was a manly light blue.)
Takeshi high fived Dai. "Good job, buddy. Now they know what you can do."
"No. They know one thing I can do." Dai corrected.
Dai was right. He had so many odd moves from thief training that none of the other team really understood it.
At one point Seriko was up front and beamed the ball over into the side of Dai's face but Dai brushed it off. Dai was now mad.
"Here Seriko. Right here." Dai was teasing the other boy now. "Hit it at me. Come on."
Seriko listened but Dai hit it right back over and the game began to revolve around the two of them until Dai hit it a bit further and none of the other team reacted.
A whistle blew right after the ball hit the ground. "Score?" The teacher called.
"Twenty seven to twenty." Takeshi said.
"Alright Everyone go to lunch and be back here by two thirty." She called.
Dai waited for Satoshi but when he saw the taller coming he could stop laughing. Satoshi was covered in sand and was walking funny.
"Satoshi," Dai chuckled. "Im guessing you lost?"
"Yes. I was on a team of almost all girls AND Mio Hio." Mio was walking passed and smacked Satoshi on the back of the head, recieving a growl.
"Aw. Come on, Satoshi. At least I beat Seriko." Dai was happy.
Satoshi just then noticed the whole right side of Dai's head was red and had the imprint of a volleyball. "Spiked it, didnt he?"
"Yeah but Im fine. Come on." Dai grabbed Satoshi's hand and began dragging him to lunch.
"Im coming Dai. Dont flip."
"Im hungry. Will you hurry up?"
"Fine. Fine." Satoshi began running, making Dai run to keep up. "Fast enough?"
"Yeah!"
Lunch passed uneventfully besides Takeshi yelling about how Dai was unstoppable even after being 'beamed like a spaceship'. The only response to Takeshi's statements (YELLS) was Dai flushing slightly and smiling.
"Dai. We'll be on the same team for tug of war. If you keep that energy up we'll be nigh unbeatable." Takeshi was punching the air in victory.
"Sure Takeshi." Dai said calmly.
"Perk up." Takeshi almost yelled.
"If Im hyper now Ill have no energy for pulling and neither will you."
"Oh yeah." Takeshi calmed down but kept his loud voice up.
Takeshi, Dai, and Satoshi were done eating lunch by one and were headed up to the latter twos room before having to head out again in another hour.
Once in the room Takeshi flopped down on the blue sofa couch thing. "Dai what're we gonna do till then?"
"Id like to sketch." Dai said as he walked back to the bedroom and got his sketch pad out from his bag before heading back.
"What fun. So bluey what we gonna do?"
Satoshi raised an eyebrow at the very dark like nickname. "Cant you think of anything?"
"No."
Satoshi saighed. Dai was already on the little balcony sketching the ocean.
"Hey Dai!" Takeshi called.
"Yeah, Takeshi?"
"What cha sketchin?"
"The ocean."
"Ooo. When your done can I see it?"
"Yeah."
Dai went back to sketching and forgot both Satoshi and Takeshi were in the room behind him. The latter two that was forgotten began arguing about something.
"...is Gay!"
"No wonder."
"You knw idiot."
"So? Is Mario gay?"
"Mario is a game. Hes not real."
"If he was, do you think he would be?"
"How am I supposed to know? I didnt make him."
"Guess. Youre the smart genius kid who went to college."
"So? That doesnt mean I should know if a game character is gay."
"But your smart enought o figure it out. Use you smartness skills to do it."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because its a dumb thing to even think about."
"Psh. Whatever."
A silence ensued before Takeshi broke it...again.
"What about Xena. Do you think she was a lesbien? In the Xena Tv show she always had that blond chic with her..Gabrielle. Maybe they were...You know."
"Gabrielle liked men if you dont remember."
"How do you know?"
"You would yell on and on about it years ago."
"Hmmm. So I would."
"Why are you asking about all these people being gay and lesbien?"
"Because you and Dai..."
"So you ask about Mario and Xena? Two unreal characters."
"So what? Who would you ask about? Bush being gay? Celine Dion a lesbien?"
Satoshi sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose before looking at the clock. "Its a quater after two. Id better get Dai. We'll meet you at the beach."
"Okay. See ya." Takeshi said happily as he bounded out the door.
Satoshi stood up and walked to the door. He smiled as he saw Dai sketching away.
A smile broke onto Satoshi's face as he walked up behind Dai and wrapped his arms around the others smaller waist. He kissed the corner of Dai's jaw.
"Time to go." He whispered in Dai's ear.
"An hour already passed? Wow. Time flies when your having fun."
"So you say. I had a very long arguement with Takeshi about if Xena was a lesbien and if Mario was gay."
Dai busted out laughing. "Well...Takeshi is a bit out there."
"A bit?"
"Okay. A lot."
"Thats better. Come on. We'd better go." He let go of Dai as they both walked insode and locked the balcony door.
Dai threw his sletch pad on the couch and walked out the door as Satoshi locked it. They walked down the hall joking.
"Takeshi does ask odd questions but you get used to it."
"I bet."
They reached the beach in a couple minutes and met two thirds of their class there. The teacher arrived with the other portion of their class a few minutes later.
Everyone was told to go to the other game and stay in the teams they were in before. Before Satoshi walked off Dai grabbed his arm.
"Imagine the ball as Dark." Dai told him before walking off.
Satoshi smiled then went to the volleyball court. He knew he would have fun hitting the ball.
Dai and Takeshi astood at the back of the line to hold onto the loop, where the Well you get whats with it.
The whistle blew and the tugging and ball hitting started. Seriko's team was heaving the yellow bandannd tied in the middle of the rope towards them already.
"Dai, you ready?" Takeshi asked.
"Yeah." Dai replied as they buried their bare feet in the sand.
They both leaned back and used their weight to pull back and Dai began walking the rope back with help from Takeshi, Saurma (I made that) and a couple others on the team. The others on the team just pulled.
Saurma jerked the rope back making two on their team almost fall but a good four or five on Seriko's team let the rope go. At the exact second the other let the rope go Takeshi and Dai pulled the rope making more tumble.
After fifteen minutes of pulling Takeshi's team won. They cheered Takeshi and Dai mainly but cheered all the more for each other.
Takeshi pounded Dai on the back. "Good job, buddy!"
"You too."
The teacher walked over and got everyones attention. "We'll now be playing one on one."
She matched everyone up with someone almost equal to their strength. Of course she matched Dai up with Seriko.
Takeshi was up first against Keishi. Team captain against team captain.
With a growl they both shook hands then went to their spots. Takeshi really didnt like Keishi at the moment and he took all his anger out on the rope, an easy win with his anger.
Dai congratulated Takeshi as he sat beside him. Dai would be the last to go.
"Who you against, Dai?"
"Seriko."
"What?! He'll maul you into nothing."
"Thank you for having confidence in me."
"Sorry. Over reacted?"
"Normal reaction."
Takeshi nodded and stood up. He walked over to the volleyball court to talk to the others.
When Takeshi got back it was nearly time for Dai's untimely demise. "Im up next, Takeshi."
"Good luck." Takeshi said with a sneaky smile.
"What did you do?"
"Huh? Nothing." Takeshi SO lied.
"NEXT!" The teacher called.
"Ill get it out of you later." Dai stood up and walked over to the rope across from Seriko.
"Players shake hands." Dai stuck out his hand and Seriko took it and squeezed hard but Dai retalliated by squeezing hard too. "Get into positions. Dont pick the rope up yet."
A croud walked over. The while Volleyball group was coming to watch the match.
"Interested?" The teacher asked.
"Yeah." Came a call. "One of the fastest runners and one of the strongest against each other."
"Thn take a seat." The teacher ordered. "GEt ready, get set, pick up the rope."
Dai picked up the rope and held on tightly to it, bracing himself.
"GO!" Seriko gave a huge heave but Dai kept his balance and the rope obnly moved forway a couple inches.
A growl errupted from Seriko as he pulled harder. He wasnt going to let Dai win again.
Dai kept his stiotic facial expression up and let Seriko pull all he wanted. He wasnt going to waste his ebergy just yet.
Dai was braced in the ground so the rope would only move forway a couple more inches. Seriko relaxed slightly into a normal pulling speed realizing what Dai was doing but the damage was part way done.
With a better grip he got, Dai began pulling on the rope with a steady rate. Seriko tried to jerk the rope back but all it really recieved was a slight rop burn on Dai's hands.
Dai winced at the rope burn buut kept pulling. One step back, another, three steps were taken back and Seriko was groeling even angrier.
The yellow bandanna was now sitting a good step on Dai's side of the line. A cheer went up all over the croud.
"Dai-suke. Dai-suke." It was a chant and Dai knew who started it. "Dai-suke. Dai-suke."
A wide almost maniac smile errupted onto Dai's face as he knew almost the whole class wanted him to win. Both combatants knew the only ones cheering for Seriko were his three cronies.
Seriko growled. What are you smiling about?"
Dai didnt answer. He knew that speaking used more energy.
Another great tug was used by Seriko but it got less results from the last time except a wince from Dai asd the rope burn got worse. Dai knew it had to end soon or his hands would give out.
A fourth step was taken back and another growl came. The rope was wrapped around Dai's waist lightly to keep it out of his way as he took a fifth step back.
The flag was about four more steps away from Dai's side of the line. Three more steps were needed when Seriko gave a great heave again, burning Dai's hands even more.
Blood was seeping from the palm of Dai's hands getting all over the rope, making it slippery. Dai winced and kept his tentative hold.
Two more steps away from winning. Seriko growled fiercely with another heave cutting Dai's skin even more and gaining him an inch of rope back.
The one inch that Seriko gained seemed to have made him gain more energy and he began pulling back. Four steps were needed now for Dai to win and his chance of winning seemed less now.
"Dai-suke. Dai-suke. Dai-suke. Dai-suke." It was even louder now.
Dai gained a bit of energy back from that as he wrapped his hands around the rope where it encircled the whole hand instead of just his palm. Seriko smiled and jerked the rope, causing it to burn the tops of Dai's hands too.
Dai was extremely mad now since Seriko was deliberatly trying to hurt him. Red eyes flashed dangerously as Dai gave his own heave to Seriko.
Seriko stumbled for a second giving Dai twop steps left to go. Dai's angry eyes followed Seriko as he stood straigh again and bored into him, giving him chills.
The brute of a bully flinched at the look Dai was giving him, and so did most of the class, who had never seen Dai really mad. Dai was pulling the rope even more.
Seriko tried to pull back but he was too late. The rope was only inches away from Dai's line.
With the last ounces of strength Dai had left he pulled the yellow bandanna across the white spray painted line in the sand that barely existed anymore.
A great cheer went up and the crowd rushed for Dai. The first to get to him was Satoshi and Takeshi who kept the others back a distance.
A whistle blew and the teacher called attention. "Everyone may swim until six. Two hours. You may go." The crowd dispersed as fast as it had come, like a tidal wave.
"Dai?" Satoshi asked. "Is that your blood on the rope?"
Dai and Takeshi looked at the rope. There was a good three inches of rope with blood on it.
"Id assume so as to this." Dai flipped his hands over to show almost all of his palms cut and burnt.
"My lord!" Takeshi called. "Teacher! Teacher."
He ran off to get the teacher.
"When did it happen Dai?"
"About half way through. Before I looped it around my hand. How long did it last?"
"It was the longest match. Eighteen minutes."
"Niwa. What is this that Takeshi is telling me? blood?"
Dai showed her his hands and she immediatly opened her first aid kit. She was preparted for this.
Twenty minuts later Dai had gauze wraps around both his palms. He was told he could swim but he had to wait a while to let the blood cake or it would burn a lot.
Dai sat down close to the water and watched everyone swim around. All of a sudden he felt extremly isolated.
"Can I sit down?" Satosghi asked quietly behind Dai.
"Its a free beach, Satoshi."
Satoshi nodded and sat beside Dai. "Hows your hands?"
"Hurting." Dai said as Satoshi looked down at the unwrapped hands.
"You shouldnt unwrap them."
Dai looked at his hands. "It feels better than being wrapped and im still pulling out pieces of the rope."
"Thats not good." Satoshi observed.
Dai pulled on a little brown looking hair in his left hand and pulled out a good two inch piece of rope. "See?"
Satoshi gave him one of those 'yes I can see it' looks.
"Oh so you give me a look?" Dai said dropping the piece of rope. "What was the volleyball score?"
Takeshi ran up. "It was fourty three to two!"
Dai raised an eyebrow at Satoshi and gave him a knowing smile. "Let me guess in favor of Satoshi?"
"Yeah! He killed the ball. I mean it. The last hit somehow almost popped it. Ball abuser!" Takeshi said laughing.
Dai laughed at how in the gutter it sounded. Satoshi only shook his head.
"Did you do what I said?"
"Yeah. I definitly got rid of my pent up anger."
"Id hope so." Both Dai and Takeshi said, then laughed.
The rest of the afternoon before dinner Takeshi hung out with Dai and Satoshi, all three joking and laughing. Anyone who passed them didnt seem to reconize Satoshi was the same with all the smiling he was doing.
Six rolled around and the teacher blew the whistle for everyone to eat and told them that a movie would be playing in the lounge that night once it got dark at eight thirty. Everyone was saying how they'd come to the movie as they moved up the beach to go eat with the three friends in the front.
Dai Satoshi and Takeshi sat down at an empty table since they were the first to get dinner then began talking about the day. Amazingly Takeshi changed the topic to something serious.
"How do you know if you are gay?"
Satoshi decided to answer since Dai was chocking on apple sauce. "You become less attracted to the female gender or not attracted to them anymore. Guys seem to become the only thing you watch instead of women."
"Takeshi, why do you ask?" Dai finally said after stopping himself from choking.
"I think I like my room mate." He said staring at his food. "Dont tell anyone."
"We wont, Takeshi sine you know our secrets."
Takeshi nodded. "After dinner can we talk about it?"
Dai nodded then looked at Satoshi. "Yeah Takeshi. We'll BOTH be there."
Satoshi gave him a 'why me' look. None of them got to say anymore because Satoshi's roommate came over and sat down.
(Ima call him Sekimoto..Y? IDK.)
"Hey guys. Hey Takeshi."
"Hey Sekimoto." Dai said as Satoshi nodded to him.
Takeshi sat there staring at his food. "Takeshi?" Sekimoto asked. "Whats with you?"
Takeshi squeaked at Sekimoto poked him in the ribs. "I told you not to do that."
"It got your attention, didnt it?"
"Okay so it did."
"And hello to you too Takeshi."
Takeshi laughed a bit before eating again.
The rest of dinner went fine with Dai picking on Takeshi and Sekimoto joining in. After dinner Takeshi followed Dai and Satoshi up to their room.
After the door was unlocked Dai gasped. "Dai? What is it?" Satoshi had been arguing with Takeshi again.
"Look." Dai pointed at their room.
It was a mess. Cushions were thrown everywhere, clothes thrown in the hall and paper...
"No!" Dai ran into the room and picked up a sheet of paper. "No." He muttered.
"Dai?" Satoshi asked as Dai walked to the odd crumpled brown thing on the floor.
"My old sketch book." Dai held up the crumpled notebook that had not paper in it. "All the pages...torn out...thrown everywhere."
Dai's eyes were full of tears. He went around and began to delicately picking up the torn up pictures.
"Years of drawings." Dai kept muttering.
Satoshi walked over to the door and ir looked like someone had picked the lock. After looking at the lock Satoshi walked over to Dai and hugged him.
Dai broke down in Satoshi embrace and began crying while Takeshi examined the room. Satoshi held Dai close to him while tears and sobs wracked his body.
"Sssh. Its okay. Its okay, Dai." Satoshi kept murmering in Dai's hair.
Satoshi walked Dai to the couch that Takeshi had reassembled and sat him down. Dai sat there with his face in his hands.
"Takeshi, you find anything?" Satoshi asked as he rubbed Dai's back.
"Besides every art object Dai owned smashed to pieces and his easel with a fist sized hole punched in it, no." Takeshi walked into the bedroom and looked through the things thrown everywhere.
"Dai?" Satoshi asked quietly. "This notebook..."
"Ive had it..." He schniffled. "years. The first realistic picture I drew was in there, along with pictures of Risa, Riku, and you. So many pictures that cant be replaced. Destroyed." He showed the torn picture on the top of the pile he had collected that had holes in it and was torn.
Satoshi noticed it was of him and everyone of him was worse than the rest. "Dai, look. The ones of me is torn worse than the others. I think it was Seriko. Personally I didnt see him at dinner."
"Neither did I." Said Takeshi. "And heres why." He handed Dai a folded up note. "I found it sitting on your pillow, with this." A heart shaped box of chocolates.
Dai grabbed the note and opened it.
::::My dearest pet,
By now you see what denying me can cause you. Those pictures I regretfully tore up after finding you drew nothing of your true lover, me. That saddens me. If you want the scenery pictures you drew so skillfully or the pictures I can so easily use as blackmail you will come to me tonight during and after the movie. Ill be in my room, 216, two floors below you. Tell Takeshi that he's a very bad reporter for I know he'll be there. Hes a baffoon. He ought to know that. Also that geek ought to know he has no chance with you. I have at least half of your beautiful drawings with me and if you want them back, get rid of the geek and come to me. Ill be waiting my pet.
Your ONLY lover
::::Seriko M.
Dai handed the note to Satoshi who read it with Takeshi who was looking over his shoulder. Both of the others seemed livid at the note.
"Baffoon! Me a baffoon and a bad reporter." Takeshi went into a mumbling spree and went to clean up Dai's stuff.
"What are you going to do, Dai?" Satoshi was angry that Seriko would do that to Dai.
"What I have to. He said he'd be at the movie." Dai stood up. "Takeshi."
Takeshi poked his head out of the bedroom. "Yeah?"
"Have you seen black clothes in there?"
"Yeah?"
"Leave them out for me."
"Why?"
"You'll see. You both will." Dai was pacing back and forth then began cleaning up the rest of the rooms.
Satoshi cleaned up the bathroom that looked like someone threw up. "Wait a second. Pictures to prove it?" Satoshi asked.
"No worries." Takeshi called. "Already done." He held up a small digital camers. "I dont go anywhere without it."
"Thats good."
When everything was clean it was eight o'clock. Dai put the last thing in place.
"You two should head to the movie."
"And you?" Takeshi asked.
"Im going to get back my pictures."
"Wha?" Takeshi was clueless.
"Takeshi, just keep Seriko busy."
"Alright."
"Satoshi, give me a call on my cell if he leaves."
Satoshi nodded. "Go change Dai."
Dai nodded and walked into the room and saw the folded up clothes Takeshi had put on his bed. The clothes fit him since he was nearly Darks size, he definitly grew the past year.
He slipped the black leather pants on that hugged his hips and legs tightly, and the black V-neck tank top on, revealing his muscled arms and tanned chest. As an added accessory Dai put his small black dragon pendant chocker on and put black eye lineron to make him look even more alluring and made his unnatural red eyes stand out.
Dai slipped his cell phone into tight leather pocket and put all his lock picking tools and a flashlight in a hip bag (A bag that clips around the hips) before stepping out of the room.
"You two might want to go soon." Dai said as he walked into the living room.
Takeshi's mouth fell open, stunned, and Satoshi hid his stunned expression a bit better with a noncommittal look. Takeshi pointed at Dai, still with his mouth gaping.
"Shit, Dai! If he does come back, he'll be too stunned to do anything." Dai eyes flashed dangerously.
"Takeshi just keep him busy." Dai said as he zipped the black hip bag closed.
"Dont worry, Dai. Ill keep him busy. Remember Im a reporter. Dunno if I can keep him for all of the movie but half Im sure of."
Dai nodded and headed for the door. "Its eight-twenty." He said looking at his watch. "Better head our ways."
Satoshi nodded. "Good luck Dai."
Dai nodded with a determined expression. "Hopefully Ill have them back by the time the movie's over. Takeshi, you coming back here after the movie?"
"Yeah."
"Alright. Ill meet you guys back here."
The other two nodded and walked out of the room and locked the door. All three walked down the hall together then went their own ways.
"Good luck." Satoshi called one last time as he watched Dai silently slink off and blend seamlessly into shadows.
"Amazing." Takeshi said as they went down the steps. "How's he do that?"
"If I told you, you wouldn't believe it."
"Well Dai can tell me later. We have a job to do."
They made it to the lounge and realized they were some of the first ones there. "The lights are out. Takeshi, youre about Dai's height. Ruffle your hair like Dai's and sit with me in a corner. When Seriko comes in he'll think you're Dai and he'll watch us."
Takeshi nodded. "Alright." He ruffled his hair making it stand up.
WellheresalinebreakanditswitchestoDaiwhenhegetstoSeriko'sdoorhalfanhourlaterwhenSerikofinallylefttheroom.
"Phew. I though he'd never leave." Dai said as he stepped down from a display case. "Heh. Locks as easy as mine. Good." He cracked his neck and began picking the lock.
Less than a minute later Dai had the door unlocked as Seriko's goons came around the corner. Dai had the door closed silently behind him as the two goons took positions besid the door.
"Do you think that wimp of a boy will come?" one asked the other.
"Yeah. Seriko said he was dumb enough to come. The kid isnt smart enough to get passed us."
"Yeah."
Dai rolled his eyes at the thought that he was already in the room. He moved stealthily as a cat into the room and turned on his flashlight.
"If I were that creep, where would I put the pictures?" Dai quietly whispered to himself.
With a shrug he began searching like Seriko had done to his room, except a bit quieter, a lot quieter. He searched the couches, then the tables, bathroom, then headed for the bedroom.
Dai walked into the bedroom and saw the most disgusting sight in the world to him. One of the pictures he had to draw as a self portrait contest had a disgusting rancid smelling white liquid on it.
Dai knew exactly what it was. Seriko was so 'in love' with Dai h had touched himself imagining the real Dai was the picture.
The poor redhead gagged and almost threw up. He searched the rest of the room after tying a black bandanna around his nose and mouth to keep from smelling the liquid on the picture that permeated through the room.
"One down. More to go." He said quietly to himself.
He searched the bed close to him then headed for Seriko's bed. After putting black gloves on to make sure he didnt touch anything...gross...Dai began sifting through the sheets and Serikos dresser.
After finding half a dozen pictures in the pillow case and nine more in the dresser Dai began searching through Seriko's bag. He found a good two and a half dozen pictures strewn throughout Serikos bag, Dai realized the only pictures he had found in his own room was those of Satoshi and Risa.
Dai lightly folded his pictures up and put them in his hip bag and looked at his watch. It said it was almost ten fifteen.
Red eyes widened. He had been searching for two hours and hadnt found all the pictures.
Dai's phone began vibrating causing him to pull it out immediatly and saw a text message appear on the screen.
::::Dai. He left just a minute ago. Get out of there. He knows you arent ::::here. GO. Meet us in our room. Satoshi.
Dai ran to the door and looked through the peek hole and saw one of the goons close his cell phone. That was the only warning Dai had before the guy busted through the door, leaving Dai to just be able to jump away in time.
The goons pulled out knives four inches long and went for Dai. Dai back flipped away from them but he got cut across the shoulder.
"Come on little one. You cant run away from us." One of the goons said.
"He's right pet. You cant run." Seriko said from the doorway.
Dai said nothing as the two goons lept for him and Seriko walked in and closed the door. The lights flicked on and Dai saw Seriko's eyes widen at A) the messy room B) The hot Dai.
Seriko swallowed hard and walked further into the room. That was when Dai saw the blackmail pictures suck in his pocket.
Dai lept over one goon and flipped over the other using his shoulder to get to Seriko. Of course the bully didnt expect Dai to be so malleable so he stood there stunned for a second when Dai came flying towards him in a karate kick.
Seriko was knocked down by Dai's kick and when Dai landed he grabbed the blackmail pictures but he didnt expect Seriko to pull out a knife of his own and jabb it into Dai's leg.
Dai flinched away fast enough to pull the knife from Seriko's hand. The goons came for him again.
The first goon, the one whose shoulder Dai had used before was knocked back by a well placed punch from Dai and the second tripped over the first, flying towards Dai.
Dai rolled to the side as the second goon landed smack dab on Seriko. With a howl the first goon stood up again with a large gorilla like grunt.
"Come little one." Dai gave him a determined look.
The goon ran for Dai who easily sidestepped to the left on the injured legs side and tripped him onto the other two. Dai winced as the pain in his leg disagreed to running to the window.
Dai jumped onto the window ledge. "Nice metting the three of you but Im sorry to say but I must leave now." He lept to the side and grabbed onto lattice work hooked to the backside of th hotel for a vining plant to grow on.
When Seriko got to the window Dai was five feet up it. "You. Gorza (my name I made up) Go after him."
The larger of the goons, AKA goon one, lept for the lattice work and as he landed it began breaking. The lattice work was crackling and shuddering as it pulled away from the hotel wall.
Dai looked up to his balcony fifteen feet away and realized Satoshi and Takeshi were up there watching pale faced and worried since they couldnt do anything. The two watched as Dai lept off the lattice work, right before it crumpled and fell off the wall, and fly towards Takeshi's window ledge.
The redhead barely made it and caught the ledge with his finger tips while slamming his injured shoulder leg and perfectly healthy face into the wall. With a grunt, Dai pulled himself up to stand on the ledge.
Takeshi hated himself at the moment. If he had the key to the room he could help Dai but the key was with his roommate all the way in the lounge.
Dai looked up at them, ten feet above him. Satoshi noticed a scared look in Dai's eyes.
Dai grabbed the top edge of the border of Takeshi's window and pulled himself up. Satoshi realized he was going to try to climb up to them.
"Dai! Dont do it!" He yelled but Dai ignored him.
Takeshi and Satoshi watched as Dai flung himself at the drain pipe a couple feet away. Thankfully Dai made it then they saw the window of Takeshi's room that Dai was just at flung open as Seriko looked out at Dai.
"Amazing." They heard him say as all three watched Dai climb slowly up the drain pipe.
Dai was only about four feet away when a knife was flung through the air by goon number 2 and hit Dai in his injured shoulder. His fingers on his right hand began to numb as he climbed higher, using what strength he had left.
Dai was equal with his and Satoshi's balcony. He pushed off with what he had left in him and lept for the balcony ledge where he caught the floor of it and slammed his face once more into the wood consisting of the floor.
Slowly Dai climbed up and over the railing to fall on the floor of the balcony once the energy from running away left him. He couldnt stop himself from falling down or from drifting into the darkness that enveloped his vision.
//Dai was laying on grass when he woke up to what he thought //was consciousness. He layed there for a minure then realized it wasnt real //because he couldnt feel anything.//"Dai?" Came someones voice he hadnt heard in a while. "Dai! Why are //you here"//"Why am I where?" Dai opened his eyes with a flinch, his shoulder and //leg still hurt but no knives were in him.//"Your in the realm Krad and I were sent to when you took the potion. //What happened Dai? You're hurt pretty bad. Your face is all busted up //and your bleeding from your right shoulder hands and left calf. What //happened." Dai felt Darks presence squat beside him.// "Seriko was blackmailing me." Dai told Dark of the whole adventure //including the history with Seriko and unbeknownst to Dai Krad was just a //short way away listening attentively.//"The hell? Why didnt you tell me Dai"// "I thought he had stopped"//"Obviously it didnt." Krad made his presence known.//Dai flinched away. "Dont worry Dai. He cant kill us here"//"I still dont see why I was send here, though." Dai sat up and looked at //Dark.//"Im not sure, Dai, but while your here I can heal you"//Dai nodded. "Will it heal my body"//"Yeah. If the spirit is healed the body will heal"//"How do I get back"//"I dont know"//"Maybe he was sent here to get healed." Krad put in. "The wounds //were serious and there would be no way he could live to make it to a hospital"//Dark nodded as he began healing Dai's wounds. "Dai be careful around //that one. Take a few of my feathers for until I get back. Krad do me a //favor and pull some of my feathers out for Dai while I heal him"//"Wont it hurt you Dark?" Dai asked.//"Its like pulling hair out. Dont worry Dai. Ill be fine"//Krad pulled out a good two dozen feathers and stuck then in a little //pouch then handed it to Dai. "You're a strong one." He said patting //Dai's head. "But you still might die"//Dark began healing Dai's leg, the last to be healed. "Dai be careful. You //know I wont be back for another week and a half. You have your own //magic but I havent taught you to use it yet. Heres one helpful //hint...if your hurt imagine in your head of the wound healing, see it in your //mind.When I get back should teach you. Krad and I have agreed that now //theres more than us against each other. I believe Kei Hiwatari is after us for //something. If that happenes it will be up to Satoshi and you to help us and //both of you have magic that is untamed"//"Untamed"//"Not tought how to use it." Krad said.//"Oh." With that Dai's body began to fade. "Take care you two"//"You too Dai." Dark said with a wave and a smile. "I know you can //handle yourself, even if I have to heal you every now and then"//"Thanks Dark, for healing me"//"No problem." Dark smiled happily. "See ya lil buddy"//"Yep"//"Tell master Satoshi I say hello." Krad smirked.//"I will Krad"//With that Dai was gone and the two angels stared at the spot for //a minute before Krad broke the silence.//"Do you think their the ones to end it forever"//"I hope so Krad. I hope so. The only thing I know is that Dai //is different."
