A Dark Beginning

"What do you mean, Elder? Have a demon posses my son?!"

"No, not posses. Protect."

"But why? Why should he be involved? He's so young…"

"Just by being born into the Niwa family, the family that protects the Seal of the Demon, he is involved."

"But why now? This has never been done before!"

"Never before have we been so threatened by those who to steal the power of the demon. We must hide the demon and his power."

"But why-"

"You sure ask a lot of questions! I just explained everything, yet you keep asking! I'm the Elder so you listen to what I say! Now shut up and give me your son so I can seal the demon inside him."

Daisuke Niwa yawned and sat up. He hadn't thought about that day in a long time. How old had he been? Four? Yeah, about four.

He yawned again and got out of bed, pushing strawberry red hair back as he went to the window. From his room he could see the large stone engraving that was the center of the Shrine of the Seal of the Demon. Of the, of the, lot's of of the's. Wouldn't it be easier to just say "Holy Demon Thing?"

Daisuke moved away from the window and into the bathroom. He stripped and got into the shower, putting the water on cold to help wake him up. He finished cleaning, went to his room, and began to pull on his uniform. Before he put on his shirt, he turned his head around so he could look at his back in the mirror. Or more specifically, the tattoo that was a mirror image of the stone seal that lay engraved on the ground within the shrine boundaries. He reached his hand back to touch the circular pattern. It had letters from almost every known alphabet (and a few unknown ones) surrounding a crescent moon. Unlike the rest of his family, he wasn't a protector of the seal; he was the seal.

Daisuke pulled on his shirt and ran downstairs. He grabbed a quick breakfast before leaving for school. As he was walking down the sidewalk, a familiar voice chimed in his head.

Where are you going? Dark asked.

School, Daisuke thought, That thing I go to every day of my life.

Oh, why do you go anyway? It's so boring

You wouldn't know if it was boring or not, you're always sleeping, Daisuke pointed out.

If it were interesting would I be asleep?

Well if…actually I don't think I can argue with you there.

Ha! I win! Dark said gleefully.

"Not really much of a contest," Daisuke said out loud.

"What isn't much of a contest?"

Daisuke turned around quickly and came face to face with cool blue eyes and an even cooler expression.

"Hi-Hiwatari-kun!" he stuttered, greeting the blue-haired boy, "I wasn't talking to myself!"

"I didn't say you were."

"Oh! I know that! I was just saying it in case you did think I was talking to myself! I know in society people talking to the voices in their head in public is weird! Not that I have voices in my head-"

Aww! How cute! Is Daisuke getting all flustered in front of his lover?

Dark! Stop it! Daisuke whined, blushing.

Satoshi Hiwatari raised an eyebrow and said nothing.

"So…going to school?" Daisuke asked.

"Yes."

"What a coincidence me too!"

Oh that's a great pick-up line Dark said dryly.

It's not a pick-up line! It's making conversation!

Satoshi started walking again. When Daisuke didn't follow he paused and turned around as if to say, "Are you coming?"

Hehe, your lover beckons you Daisuke!

Of all the demons I could have been possessed by, it had to be you, Daisuke said to the demon.

Dark laughed inside Daisuke's mind before going back to sleep.

Daisuke smiled to himself. In truth, he had no problems with the demon being sealed inside him. He had been so young when it happened that it seemed as though Dark had been with him his entire life. Dark had no memories prior to his being sealed and any records of what Dark had been before were long since gone.

A touch on Daisuke's shoulder caused him to be pulled out of his reverie. He turned and, for the second time that morning, found himself face-to-face with Satoshi.

"We're at school," Satoshi said, gesturing behind Daisuke.

Daisuke turned around and saw that they were, indeed, at school. The two boy's walked silently to their homeroom. Had Daisuke been looking he would have noticed that Satoshi's eyes rarely left him the entire time.

After lunch the class trudged over to the locker rooms to change into their p.e. uniforms. Daisuke always waited for the rest of the boys to change so that he could avoid questions about his tattoo. When he was sure he was alone, he pulled off his shirt and began pulling his p.e. uniform on.

"What's that?"

Daisuke jumped and turned around to find Satoshi, how did he manage to always pop out of nowhere like that?

"Oh, hi Hiwatari-kun," Daisuke said, "What's what?"

Satoshi moved around behind him to touch the tattoo on the redhead's back. Daisuke felt pleasing tingles move through his body as Satoshi's light fingers brushed over his skin.

Oh, you like that do you, Daisuke?

Dark! When did you wake up?

Just now

Well go back to sleep!

So you want to be alone with the creepy-boy? Dark chuckled

"Niwa Daisuke!" The teacher ran in to the locker room holding a phone in his hand.

Satoshi's fingers dropped and Daisuke found that he regretted the touch had to stop.

"Yes?" Daisuke said to the teacher.

"It's….your home," He said, "It's been destroyed."
