The light in the Darkness
Chapter XI:
/…/ Daisuke
… Dark
(…) Satoshi
((…)) Krad
Anxiety, sorrow, anger and confusion all laced in one.
Krad opened an eye; the sword was right in front of his face, eyes widening to see Dark glaring at his hand. The hunter knew what he was going through, often when Satoshi tried to reclaim control he'd end up glaring at his limbs too. He sighed in relief, everything that he'd been wanting to tell the thief for generations finally spilt out, "I'm sorry Dark, this is all my fault…please…stop being so upset."
The thief's eyes widened, "Krad? You can…"
The hunter closed his eyes and gave a sad smile, "Yea, I can finally feel your emotions again…my other half. To be honest with you, I don't remember why I felt so angry when you saved the Niwa, I feel quite silly now. Whenever the world get too dark, you were always there somehow …you were my light in the darkness."
Dark gritted his teeth as the spirit started taking over again, "Get away from here…"
Krad watched him, not moving, he looked the thief in the eyes, "You're strong, get rid of him." Dark gave him a confused look, the blond continued watching him no trace of doubt in his eyes, "Oh come on, we both know that you've always been the stronger one out of the two of us. Are you really going to let that spirit take over you again?" He scoffed, "The great unmatchable Kaitou Dark Mousy getting defeated by a measly spirit. I thought better of you…"
The thief growled, Krad looked up in surprise, "Don't underestimate…the great…Dark Mousy!"
The hunter smirked, "I wouldn't dare."
Dark clenched his eyes, the spirit within him was trying to fight back desperately.
"No! We had a deal!"
Don't you know? A kaitou never keeps his word!
"You bastard!"
No, you're the bastard around here! Get out of me!
A moment later a large black sphere appeared in the sky with a single big red eye and a huge mouth, now scowling. Dark sighed and grinned, "I guess I showed you."
Krad smirked and opened his mouth to say something but before he got it out his eyes widened. Knocking Dark off him and shielding him with his own body he let out a scream of pain. The kaitou stared in shock wondering what just happened, Krad stood up slowly, his movements slowed down…only then did Dark notice that the hunter's wings had turned to stone. "K-Krad!"
The blonde looked at him, giving him a little smirk, eyes gradually closing. Dark stared in horror at the petrified angel in front of him, wing's folded, a serene look on his fair features. The kaitou stared in horror at the petrified hunter. Crawling towards the statue on all fours, eyes wide with horror, "Krad?"
The petrified form gave no reply; somehow Krad looked in very peaceful while standing there. Dark's dismay slowly turned into anger all directed towards the one eyes spirit who's scowl turned into a smirk, "That was meant for you…how touching…"
His fists were clenched tightly, "Kisama…"
"Did I hit a tender spot? It really was pitiful how a demon such as himself, and such a high rank too risked his own life to save one as useless as yours. You've made the ice demon weak, Dark Mousy."
Dark looked up defiantly, "Kisama…"
"This is all your fault…"
Wings flapping, the thief charged towards the sphere, "Kisama!"
It merely smiled, "Do you really think that you'll be defeating me that easily?"
The voice was unheard, the only thing that was on Dark's mind was the blonde demon, Krad…Krad! "I'll kill you!"
"I'd like to see you try."
Dark snarled, "You won't be alive to see it."
The voice said mockingly, "And for awhile I thought that angels didn't kill, isn't that a demon's job?" Dark blasted energy at it, it merely laughed, "Do you think that a little blast of magic could harm me?"
Violet eyes narrowed as he charged up again, "I'll show you…"
The sphere laughed, the red eye snapped its attention to the thief, "You think you can defeat me when I can turn you to stone with a single shot?"
"Your shot is useless if it misses."
"True, therefore I shant miss."
Dark glared at the spirit, doing a flip in the air and dodging the shot, "As you were saying?"
Weak…I need to weaken him…how? The spirit scowled, red eye narrowing, "I shant miss this time."
"I'd like to see you try."
Another blast was sent out, again the thief evaded it. As long as I can dodge, he'll wear out soon…he has to…finally, after a few more blasts the sphere stopped, Dark grinned, "What's the matter? Low on energy?"
"Perhaps, but that does not mean I'm powerless, oh no Dark Mousy, I'm afraid you plan has faltered."
Dark glared at the enemy, "What?"
"You were thinking of me running out of energy and defeating me through such means."
"How'd you-"
"It was quite obvious."
Dark licked his lips in anxiety, what do I do now…he backed up a couple steps and nearly tripped over something, he looked down at his feet. It was a golden cross, half petrified half a bit scratched up yet still gleaming gold. Krad…and kneeled down and picked up the cross, clutching it tight. The spirit laughed, "Do you think that little cross is going to help you? Do you think your ice demon can come back from the dead? I'm afraid it's quite impossible."
"Shut the fuck up."
The spirit stopped for a moment, shocked by the thief's calm words, but then it smiled, red eye on the thief, "You seemed to have regained your composure, impressive. But, not good enough." Razor sharp blades appeared around the sphere, the red eye closed and slowly it began to spin. "You won't be so self-control will only last so long."
Dark bit his lower lip as he watched the spinning globe coming towards him at an incredible speed. He barely managed to make it out alive. Knocked to the ground, covered in scratches, he wiped the blood off his chin with his sleeve. Damn it, how many more tricks does he have up his sleeves?
Once again, the ball came flying towards him, ready to kill. The thief flew upwards only to find that the enemy was able to move much faster than he. Dark was knocked to the ground, he barely missed the blades. I need to destroy his vision…he jumped aside as he watched the sphere destroy its surrounding area. Finally the spinning slowed and it watched him mockingly, "Still standing? You've surprised me yet again, thief. No matter, you'll be dead in a minute. I do pity the ice demon though, love has made him weak. Making him put himself after another, truly pitiful."
Violet eyes narrowed at the globe, "I suppose you've never felt love?"
The lips gave a triumphal smile, "Love is for the weak."
"Then you wouldn't understand."
The thief bit his lip and flew towards the eye as fast as he could, his grip tightened on the cross in his hands. The spirit laughed jeeringly, "Trying that again, little thief? Do you not learn from your mistakes? No…I suppose not-"
Instead of blasting at the spirit, Dark brought the cross down right into the red eye, the sharp end sank in. The thief pulled it back out and braced himself. A moment later the spirit let out a horrendous scream, red eye looking everywhere yet seeing nothing but darkness. Dark smirked, "Are you enjoying this?"
It hissed, "What have you done!.?"
"I've left you in the dark."
"I'll kill you!"
"Tell me this after I'm done." The thief took out a feather and started chanting an incantation, soon chains appeared and trapped the spirit, "How does it feel to be ensnared?"
"What are you doing!.?" The red eye continued uselessly yet frantically looking, seemingly searching for a light.
"Don't you know? You've already destroyed the light, there is nothing but darkness now. You've brought this onto yourself, spirit." The thief said coldly.
"All this for revenge for the ice demon!.?"
"That's right, but since you haven't the slightest idea what I'm going through right now, I'll just have to get you to feel the pain, the pain of having something torn away from you."
"W-wait!"
"Quite pitiful isn't it? You never feeling love, never looking around wondering if he'll show up. Not to mention you end up thinking it's for the weak, yet here you are now, at my mercy. Begging. Quite pitiful indeed."
The lips fell into a snarl, "Love has nothing to do with this!"
"Doesn't it? I mean, you kill my lover and I kill you, sounds fair doesn't it?"
"Wait!"
"Too late for that." Amethyst eyes watched his enemy cruelly, not a hint of sympathy in them. "You've taken everything from me."
"There's another way!"
Dark took out a feather, "I'm afraid not." Then he smirked, "Say, do you know why people fear the dark? It's because you can't see your next step, unsure of what to expect, it scares them, just as it scares you."
"No, don't-"
"Say goodnight, demon." Dark began his spell, sealing off the spirit for good, but right when the spell, the demon growled.
It screamed, "I'll drag you down to hell with me!"
The thief's eyes widened as he watched the blast come closer, he shut his eyes waiting for it to hit him. It never did. Slowly, he cracked open an eye. There was a shield surrounding him, and there right in front of him was the cross. Half petrified, half gold and covered in blood, "…Krad?"
He felt the familiar sensation of wings wrapping around him, only the wings were his. Finally, when the blast died off, the spirit was nowhere to be seen, the surrounding area was completely destroyed. The cross had been completely petrified, a minute later it shattered and crumbled into dust. Is it over? He turned around and came face to face with the golden angel he thought was gone. "Krad!"
The ice demon smiled and cupped the thief's face, then he mouthed the words, goodbye love.
Dark watched in horror as the blonde began to fade away, no…don't leave…not again! "Don't Krad…please…don't…"
The hunter gave him an amused smile and toyed with his violet locks for a moment before disappearing completely. Widened amethyst eyes stared at the nothingness in front of him, tears started welling up, I've just lost everything again… "Kuso…kuso...Krad!"
Once again, I'm left alone in the darkness…
