Chapter 9: Time Part II
'...Remember, no matter what happens, I'll always be inside of you.'
Dark's eyes narrowed as Krad burst into a fit of laughter.
"What's so funny!" Dark growled out, black energy beginning to form out around his balled fists.
"Just the fact that your precious tamer is dying and you can't do anything to stop it." Krad's voice was casual, but venom dripped from his words.
"You're wrong yet again Krad... I'll save Daisuke, even if I die doing it!"
Not a moment sooner had Dark finished speaking, did a whirlwind bust the the double doors all the way open. Sand mixed within' the wind made both Krad and Dark shield there eyes. The sand began to cover the ground at a rapid rate.
Krad rubbed his eyes and attempted to see as the wind died down. He could make out Dark and a glowing...
"Dark!" Krad lunged at Dark going right through him, as Dark inspected the new found accessory in his hand.
"Sorry Krad... You Lose." Krad growled and swipped at the fading image of Dark.
"Dar--!" Krad frooze in mid scream, as time itself came to a halt.
Dark
Dark took a jagged breath as he felt himself jolt back to the ground. The moving stopped and the darkness was gone. He looked down at the curious necklace. It had been glowing when it answered his call... Funny, he never thought that a Hikari artwork would obey him.
Dark raised his head and slid the chain around his neck, it resting soundlessly on his shoulders.
"I'm at..." Dark's eyes narrowed as he realized where he was. He was only a block away... A block away from saving Daisuke. With a new found energy, Dark ran as fast as he could to the Niwas. Trying his best to get there in time.
Nothing mattered now, just to save him. He could already feel his legs aching from the stress. He had to keep going, Krad couldn't effect him, not now. Just a little bit more.
Dark jumped over the gate, his pants ripping on it, he stumbled, but didn't stop. He burst the front door open and ran to the door to the livingroom, dodging the sprung traps as he went. He threw the door open and saw Krad moving his blade to Emiko, about to empail her, back first. Dark's eyes narrowed as he pushed the unaware Emiko out of the way just in time to be run through by Krad's blade. Dark kept glaring at Krad as a trickle of blood escaped his lips.
And suddenly Dark smiled. Krad, still in shock took his hands off the sword. Then as quickly as he was shocked, he became sadistic once again. Laughing at Dark's mishap.
Dark just kept smiling, putting his hands on the blade. The Second Hand of Time. He pulled it out quickly, spitting up blood. Dark tried to take a jagged breath finding his lungs unable to find the air. He smiled again. 'Out of time,' Dark thought as he took an unsteady step towards Krad. Krad, for the first time in his life, was scared of Dark Mousey. The way that Dark smiled, like his was in total bliss scared him. Krad took a step back stopping before he could even finish the step. Dark had run him through. And again for the third time, Krad looked at him in shock, then fell.
Dark spat up more blood, his mind going dizzy. He couldn't breath. Dark turned around a trail of mouth on both ends of his mouth. He gave the shreking Emiko a smirk, then fell. Dark was dead before he hit the ground. Kosuke ran in, Daiki just behind him. They both exchanged looks as they looked at the end of the two man war. Krad was slumped against the wall, a golden sword through his heart, a look of calm on his face, made it seem like he was only asleep.
Dark however, was a mess. Kosuke walked over and turned him over. A smile still graced Dark's lips. This shocked Kosuke a little bit, but none the less Dark was dead.
Emiko sobbed and Daiki guided her out of the room.
That was it. The end of Dark Mousey.
Or so they thought...
Dark burst through the abandoned factory to the roof, his eyes going wide as he saw Daisuke tied to a chair. Satoshi walked calmly behind him. Before Dark could take another step Daisuke's head jerked up, tears coming down his eyes. He looked at the sky, his tears blinding his vision.
Dark ran to him, "Daisuke!"
Daisuke let out a sob. "Dark?"
Dark smiled and untied Daisuke. "I'm here... You don't have to cry."
Daisuke nodded as Dark picked him up bridial style. "It's not because of Krad, I just suddenly started crying... And I can't figure out why."
Daisuke buried himself into Dark's shirt sobbing somemore.
Now that Dark actually thought about it, a ping of sadness had struck him when he saw Daisuke, but he asumed that it was just because of the horrible condition Daisuke was in... But it seemed like more. It was more, but just who was he sad about?
Dark turned to the door, Satoshi already gone.
Dark felt a lone tear fall. He quickly shifted Daisuke to one arm and wipped it away.
Niwas
Satoshi burst into the house with the full intent of killing Krad. He stopped when he saw blood on the floor. He turned and saw a motionless Krad, the Second Hand of Time through him. His eyes explored the room more, his eyes falling on Kosuke as he covered Dark's body.
Satoshi's eyes narrowed as he shoved Kosuke out of the way and broke the necklace off Dark's limb body.
Immediately Dark's body began to glow, becoming too bright for anyone to see. After a minute the light disappeared. Dark was gone, the blanket the only thing left.
"The Necklace of Sand's Time." Saoshi said tossing it to Kosuke.
Kosuke caught it and frowned.
"Which Dark was it? The past or the future?"
Satoshi sighed, "When was Dark killed?"
"Fifteen minutes ago." Kosuke stood up, now back to his calm and all knowing look.
"Future." Satoshi simply said as he stood up and started to walk towards the door.
Kosuke frowned and grabbed Satoshi's arm. "How do you know!"
Satoshi pointed to the door. There stood Dark holding a shaken up Daisuke.
"He's still here." Satoshi yanked his hand away leaving Kosuke with his mouth wide open gapping at them.
Dark raised a brow, "Shut your mouth before you let the flies in." Dark took a step in, white catching his eyes. He was suddenly glad that Daisuke still had his face buried in his chest.
"Oh," was all Dark could manage to get out.
Dark smirked. "Guess that eliminates the compeition."
That's the end of it... If you want me to continue it, it'll be as another story, but this is officially wrapped up... Now that lazy me finally got to it. R&R, I'll take your flames too, cos I deserve it... This story is REALLY short. No offence to Edward Elric... I'm not calling you short.
Ja ne.
