Separated Wings

Chapter 1

Written by: It-chan

"Daisuke!" Riku called out to the figure with red hair leaning against the school gate.

Daisuke turned around to face Riku, the girl with short reddish brown hair.

"Riku-san," he could only say, smiling a small visible smile.

"Sorry I'm late. I had to help the teacher to clean up the field so I'm a little late. It wasn't expected so…" Riku said.

"Don't worry, you weren't that late. I just got here anyway."

"Sorry."

"Let's go."

"Ok!"

Since the day Dark beaten Krad up, Riku ditched her bike so she could walk home with Daisuke. It has been 2 months since that incident and Hiwatari-kun and Daisuke had leaded a normal life. Hiwatari-kun and Risa had coupled, so did Daisuke and Riku.

"Dai-chan!" Emiko shouted happily as she called out to her son.

Daisuke was reading a book while lying out on the couch. He peeped out of the top of the book.

"What's the matter mother?" he asked in a confused way.

"We're going traveling tonight to Malaysia!" Daisuke slammed the book down.

"WHAT!"

"Really, you're 14 going to 15 and you're already deaf; we're going traveling tonight to Malaysia. We're leaving at 6 so we can get at the airport by 7," Emiko said

"But, I have school tomorrow. How many minutes is it to Malaysia?"

"Minutes? Are you nuts, its hours, 6 hours. We're staying there for months so pack a lot of clothes. It may also mean we're migrating."

"I don't understand, what do we want to do there until we have to go there right away?" Daisuke asked confused.

"To steal the Hikari's artifacts of course, it's all around the world and our first stop is Malaysia," Emiko said going down.

"But, Dark's sealed, I found my Eternal Divine Maiden. Anyway, what about Riku, she needs me, I need her," Daisuke explained while following his mother.

"That's just it, by separating both of you, one will be heart broken and then, Dark will appear again." Daisuke's grandfather, Daiki suddenly interrupted.

"But I don't want Dark to come out!"

"No can do. Now go to your room and pack your things. Wear your summer clothes, as it will be hot there. Just wear a jacket to cover it up. NOW!" Emiko said

"yes…" Daisuke obediently climbed the stairs.

5 minutes before leaving…

Daisuke picked the phone up heavily. He called the Harada's household.

"Hello, this is Risa speaking," Risa's voice could be heard.

"Is Riku-san there?"

"Niwa-kun? You sound depressed. Riku huh? Wait a second," Risa said and the phone went silent for a moment.

"Hello?" Riku's voice suddenly came out.

Daisuke gulped "Riku-san."

"Daisuke!" Riku exclaimed

"Riku-san, about tonight,"

"Yes?"

"Well, I don't think I can meet you at the fountain because…"

"Because?" Riku sounded rejected

"Well… I have to do my family errands and all."

"Oh, ok. I understand…" Riku said sadly.

Daisuke hesitated a bit then, he said " but we will meet another time ok? I'll make sure I'll come," he said trying to sound happy.

"OK!" Riku said cheering up.

Daisuke smiled. He was happy that Riku was happy.

"Daisuke…" Riku stuttered but got interrupted.

"Sorry Riku, I gotta go. See you again and…umm… don't forget me. I will always love you."

"Umm… ok" Riku said a little confused.

Daisuke put the phone down. He looked at the phone with sadness. Beside the phone was a note. It was for Riku, if she did come to his house when she finds out something was wrong.

"Dai-chan! The Taxi is here!" Emiko shouted from downstairs.

"Yes Mother!" Daisuke answered.

As he turned to go down the steps, he left one single memory of him and Riku, a picture of him and Riku on the roller coaster on their first date with was still sitting on the desk, near the phone. Maybe, he had forgotten about it, or maybe, he wanted to leave it there to leave all his memories of Riku behind.

In Riku's bedroom… X

"What was Daisuke talking about? Don't forget me?" Riku asked herself as she lay down on her bed.

It was already 6:15.

"I wonder," Riku thought as she turned her self around so that her face will be on the pillow, "I wonder why I feel as if I won't see him for a very long time."

Riku closed her eyes and thought harder.

X

"RIKU!"Risa shouted as she stormed in Riku's room, interrupting Riku who had fell asleep.

Risa stopped a while and frowned. Riku got up rubbing her eyes.

"What?" she muttered

"You were sleeping? It's only 6:30. Anyway, Niwa-kun is in trouble!"

"WHAT?"

Risa sat down next to Riku on her bed.

"I did some fortune telling of you. It turned out to be somebody close to you will have trouble with you," Risa explained

"Trouble?" Riku thought of what it meant.

They thought. Suddenly, they turned to each other and said the same thing.

"A BREAKUP!" they said together.

"But why does he want to break up with you?" Risa said confusingly.

"His Families errands! He had family errands so he couldn't bring my to the fountain, do you think…"

"Let's call him and beg him to bring you," Risa suggested.

"Umm..."Riku agreed "Let's call him now,"

Riku picked the phone from Risa's hands and dialed the numbers. She waited.

Druuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut…….

"Nobody is picking up the phone." Riku said in alert.

"We will wait for a minute, maybe Niwa-kun is trying to call you or something," Risa said.

"Ok,"

After a few minutes of waiting, they called the Niwa's again.

Druuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut……..

"Nothing" Riku said in a depressed tone.

"Riku, let's go!"

"Go where?"

Risa headed to the door. She turned her head around and smiled.

"To Niwa-kuns house of course,"

X

Riku ran towards Daisuke's house with Risa leading in front riding her bicycle.

"Why would Daisuke-kun want to break up with me?" Riku asked in between pants (breathing).

"I don't know, maybe he was suddenly engaged to someone or he found someone who is better then you,"

"No way," Riku muttered under her breath, trying to hide her anger.

X

"We're here!" Risa shouted.

"At last," Riku panted behind Risa.

The house looked lonely and it was all dark (I almost wanted to capitalize the 'D' of the dark).

"Do you think this is the right house?" Risa asked.

"I'm sure of it," Riku said in a serious tone, in between pants.

"Well, let's go," Risa said in a little nervous tone.

They rang the bell but nobody greeted them. They knocked the door but nobody opened them.

"Some thing is definitely wrong," Riku said.

She opened the door and found it was not locked.

"Sorry to interrupt," Risa said in a small whisper behind Riku who just stepped through the front door.

Riku stopped for a while.

"What's wrong Riku?" Risa asked out side the door, barely coming in.

"I feel as if something's going to happen," Riku said as she checked the surroundings.

The tiles cracked and started to fall.

"RIKU, WATCH OUT!" Risa shouted, warning her twin.

The tiles fell down in a dark hole.

"Riku, are you alright?" Risa asked at Riku who was shocked at the scene.

Riku just barely jumped to the other side not knowing here were foot sensors.

Riku looked up and smiled "Yah, I'm al…"

Spears were coming out of the walls behind Riku, almost touching her back. Riku gave a little shriek.

"Daisuke has told me about the training he had but I didn't know it was this serious," Riku said.

"How are we going to get in?" Risa asked.

"There's only one way to get through that and you just missed the chance," a cool and calm voice appeared from behind Risa.

"Hiwatari-kun" Riku said

"Satoshi-kun" Risa said blushing lightly.

"Satoshi?" Riku asked, confused.

"Is it wrong callin my boy friend by his first name?" Risa asked, blushing lightly.

"Use the back yard," Hiwatari said as he turned around and turned left.

"Kyaaa…… so cool. Totally unlike your 'Daisuke'". I don't even know how you had a crush on him." Risa said as her eyes became hearts.

"What ever, Daisuke is way better," Riku said not accepting what Risa just said.

Riku jumped to the other side and caught hold of Risa just in time.

X

"What was all that?" Riku asked Hiwatari as they succeeded coming in the house through the backyard.

"I can't believe Niwa-kun has to do all this stuff," Risa grumbled, "Do you have to do it Satoshi-kun?"

"Nope, I just need to study how he does it so I can catch him," Hiwatari explained.

"Being Dark isn't easy," Risa said.

Hiwatari went to the stairs. He looked at the flight of stairs. He knew the trick.

"Anyone saw a rope or a string?" Hiwatari asked the both of them.

"No, why?" Riku asked.

"Well…"

"I saw one in the back yard. While you and Riku were busy trying to go thru those traps, I saw it,"Risa said smiling happy that she is helping Hiwatari.

"You two wait here. Don't touch anything and Risa, thank you," Hiwatari said as he head outside again.

"Kyaaaa! He is so cool," Risa squeeles yet again.

"Don't even think of starting that conversation again." Riku added.

X

"I've got the rope," Hiwatari-kun said.

"Why do we need a rope Satoshi-kun?" Risa asked while Riku frowned.

"You'll see," Hiwatari said as he tied the rope to his waist.

The rope was long, long enough to tie all three of them like a mountain climber.

"Are we climbing mountains?" Riku asked.

"Just watch," Hiwatari answered back.

They all stepped up the stairs. Hiwatari was in the lead followed by Risa and the last, Riku. Half way up, the stairs suddenly lay flat in 1 second. They all fell from the slide.

"Ouch….." They all grumbled.

Riku was underneath Hiwatari (since Hiwatari was in the lead) and Hiwatari was between Risa and Riku. He was hugging Risa to protect her.

"Satoshi-kun, are you alright?" Risa asked Hiwatari as she opened her eyes.

"How about asking me? I'm burdening both of your weight," Risa struggled to tell.

"Riku!" Risa shouted as she stood up from Hiwatari's grip.

Risa helped Hiwatari-kun up and then Riku.

"We've got to go up this stairs, that's why I wanted a rope so that one of you won't fall," Hiwatari explained.

"Tell us sooner," Riku grumbled.

"Let's go," Hiwatari said as he ignored what Riku said earlier.

(A/N I'm going to skip this part because it's really boring climbing up the stairs and all)

X

"Where is Niwa-kun?" Risa said as she reached to Daisuke's room

Hiwatari pulled Riku up.

"Daisuke-kun?" Riku called up quietly.

They all looked around his room.

"Maybe they went and ate outside?" Risa said.

"Yeah, maybe," Riku said trying to cheer up from her worries.

Hiwatari moved around the room to find some clues. He stopped at the desk where the phone was. He picked up piece of paper and read it quietly. He then closed his eyes and opened it his eyes again.

"Harada-ne," Hiwatari called out to Riku (I don't know what he calls Riku but I just let him call her that ok).

"Yes!" (in Japanese, I would prefer her saying Hai?)" Riku quickly answered to Hiwatari's call.

"Here," Hiwatari gave out his hand where he held the paper.

"Ah, thanks," Riku said as she moved forward and took the paper out of his hands.

Riku opened the letter. She was nervous at first but she knew she had to do it or else regret and she is a little curious about the letter. She opened it and read it. At first, she held her tears and couldn't believe what she read. She read it again; tears were forming in her eyes. They trailed down her cheek and fell on the paper.

"No... Daisuke couldn't have…. He would never…" Riku said between sobs.

Riku's legs felt stiff, her whole body did. She fell on her knees, not believing anything that was written on the paper. She felt as if half her life was taken away from her but this was worst then that. Her beloved, the person who she had always cared about before her, before anyone. Her hand was in a fist. She threw the paper on the ground. Her hands hid her face, her face that was crying of sadness. The whole room could be heard with it. Riku looked up, looked at the desk which had the photo, the photo of the memory of her first date with Daisuke, her heart broke in sorrow as she remembered the times they had spent, the precious moments which has now been left, left behind.

"Why? Why?" Riku said between sobs.

The words on the paper could be read underneath the moonlight. It read…

Riku-san,

Sorry for not telling you sooner. I was just told

when I got back from school the day I'm leaving.

I didn't have the heart to tell you that I was

going when we talked on the telephone. I'm sure

your'e thinking I hate you but no, I rather be with

you then going there but I had to, it was my

mother's choice. Just remember that I'll love you

always, and forever no matter how far we are,

because we will always be together.

Daisuke.

They could hear the bell ringing in a distance, ringing 8 times.

"DAISUKKKKKEEEEEEE!" Riku shouted her hearts content trying to let all her sadness fly away though, without her other wing, she couldn't do that, now, her wings and Daisuke, was separated, separated…
