Insanity of the Art

Chapter IX:

As the ring shattered, there was a sudden piercing light then the artwork were gone, they had no more business there, their light had been restored and they were once again sealed. The building was shaking now, Dark waited anxiously for the dust to clear. The second it did, he ran towards the blonde who was sprawled out on the ground, the thief picked him up bridal style, "Krad…"

The blonde gave no response, with his eyes closed and blood covering every inch of him, the thief hugged him close, forgetting about the building collapsing, "Gods Krad…how could you ever think you weren't good enough? I don't deserve you…all I ever wanted was you, you and no one else…" Tears escaped his eyes and hit the blonde's cheek. "Krad…I'll get you back, I swear I will…"

Then as the roof began to collapse, the thief frowned and shot a hole in the wall, "With!" and flew out.

All I ever wanted was you…but you're always just out of reach…

----------------------

Police were gathering around the building, sirens and yelling could be heard, no one noticed the black figure on the other roof nearby watching, with a lifeless figure in his hands. A minute later, the figure disappeared.

----------------------

"Niwa…I think you better go home, your mom must be worried sick by now." Daisuke nodded and stepped out of the embrace, Satoshi found that he rather missed the warmth that radiated off the redhead. "I'll be fine, go home before your mother calls the cops."

The redhead smiled, "Hai…"

When he reached home, he was caught in a tight hug by his mother, "Dai-chan! I was so worried! Don't you ever do that again! Never ever!"

"Kaa-san…I'm fine…"

And after awhile of conversing, the redhead headed upstairs to his room to wait for the thief to return.

----------------------

Daisuke's hand covered his mouth, nausea growing, "They pulled off his wings?"

Dark nodded, Satoshi merely looked away, "Are you going to help or not?"

"What am I supposed to do?"

The thief got up and left the room. The redhead gave a little laugh, "None of this seems real does it?"

The blue haired boy nodded, "It's hard to believe…except for one fact."

Crimson eyes blinked, "Which fact is that?"

"That I liked you a lot in my past life."

"W-why's that?"

"Because the feelings haven't left."

"Hiwatari-kun…"

Then Dark decided at that moment to reappear with a book in his hands, he flipped through the pages until he came across what he was looking for, he handed it over to Satoshi, "I can only assume you know how to read this."

"A temporary resuscitation spell?"

"It only lasts for a day, it should be enough…"

Satoshi gave him an uncertain look before he began to read the spell. When he was finished, he looked up to see a rather surprised looking Daisuke and Dark. On the bed, the blonde was stirring, then golden eyes opened slowly and looked around, "…Dark?"

"Hey…" The thief walked over and sat by the bed, "How you feeling?"

"Half dead…" The blonde said, rubbing his temples then stared at his hands, "Dark…why am I covered in blood?"

"That's a long story." He replied with a sigh wrapping the blonde in an embrace.

Krad frowned but didn't question the thief. Satoshi just gawked at him, he had never heard the entity sound so…humane. Then the blonde looked over at him, "Why's Niwa and Satoshi here?" He looked around, "Where are we?"

"This is Daisuke's house."

"…" The blonde's brows furled in confusion, "Dark, tell me what happened."

The thief let him go and stared at him, "You two probably don't need to hear this again…go downstairs or something."

Satoshi gave a shrug and followed the redhead downstairs.

------------------

"I've never seen him so human…"

The redhead nodded, "Me neither, umm…you were saying earlier…"

Satoshi blinked and stared at his feet sheepishly, "Oh…well…I, still like you…a lot…"

Daisuke suddenly gave a laugh, the blue haired boy just gave him a strange look, he grinned, "I'm glad, I thought you didn't like me because well…I guess my feelings from my last life didn't leave either." He said with a smile.

"Niwa…"

-----------------

"All that happened?" Dark nodded, "So technically…we're dead, or at least I am…"

The thief nodded again, "I know it's hard to believe…but-"

"No, it makes sense, it's just that, tomorrow we're going to be leaving for good?"

"If you want to, if you want to stay longer I'll find a way for it to happen."

Krad shook his head, "It's alright, I think we've overstayed our welcome, eternal life doesn't sound that fun anyways."

Dark smiled and gave the blonde a kiss, "Come on, let's get you cleaned up."

-----------------

Daisuke entered the room to find the two entities asleep, he gave a smiled and beckoned for the other boy to enter the room, "Well…they took the bed, where do we sleep?"

The other two ended up sleeping on the couch, snuggling with one another.

-----------------

Never again will I let you go…

The two entities sat on the roof staring at the gray skies, "Dark…"

"Yes?"

"You told me I had wings."

"You did."

"What were they like?"

"They…were the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Angel wings as people would call it, they matched you perfectly."

Krad smiled, "This place looks so different from the bar…"

The thief stretched, "Well the bar was burnt down quite a long time ago. Some idiot started a fight and knocked down a candle in a room full of alcohol. It practically exploded."

"I'm going to miss that place."

"Me too." There was a moment of silence, "Hey Krad…"

"Yea?"

"Nothing…I just missed you, that's all. It's been so long since I've been able to hold you like this…"

The blonde leaned into the embrace, "Well…I'm not going anywhere, not this time…after all this we really will have all of eternity won't we?"

"Yea, with any luck we will."

-----------------

That night the four gathered in the redhead's bedroom, "Dark…you're actually leaving?"

The thief shot him a grin, "We'll meet again, I'm too sure of it."

"Within this life time?"

"That…I'm not so sure about, but hopefully." Dark smiled and gave his host a hug, "If not, with any luck, we'll be friends again, you've been a great help Daisuke, thank you."

Tears welled up in the redhead's eyes, "You've been a great friend! I'm glad I met you Dark!"

"Me too."

Krad watched Satoshi silently, "I heard I caused you quite a bit of trouble…Satoshi…"

The blue haired boy gave a light shrug, "It's all in the past…"

"Yes well…sorry, and thanks for enduring me."

Satoshi gave a curt nod before standing next to the redhead and Dark took his place next to Krad and grinned, "Those two make such a good couple, they look just like they did before don't they?"

The blonde smiled and nodded, "They do…"

"You ready to go?"

Krad looked down with a small smile playing on his face, "I've been around for too long, I'm ready to get off this road of evermore."

Dark dipped his head, "Your wish is my command." He opened the book that Satoshi had read from and began to read a spell.

"Dark!" The thief looked up when he finished and began to fade, "I won't forget you!"

"Me neither! I'll see you later!"

"Aa…see you…" Daisuke smiled and wiped the tears from his eyes.

The thief grinned and wrapped an arm around the hunter's shoulder, the last word either of them heard from the pair before they disappeared was, "Thanks…"

Then the door opened and Emiko popped her head in, "Dai? Tell Dark…"

"Kaa-chan…Dark won't be doing anymore jobs…"

She frowned, "Why?"

"He's…free kaa-chan, he's finally free." He said with a smile, holding onto the other boy's hand tightly.

Epilogue:

"You! Hey you! Wait up!"

The redhead whirled around to see a senior running towards him, "Yes?"

Amethyst eyes blinked, "My god…have we met before?"

"Um…I don't think so…"

"Oh…maybe it was in another life," he grinned sheepishly, "well I'm Dark Mousy, nice to meet you." The boy held out his hand in a friendly mannerwith a large grin plastered on his face.

He shook his hand, "Niwa Daisuke. Your name sounds familiar…"

"That's because I'm known by everyone, but that may not be the reason why since your name sounds pretty familiar too. Say, you want to have lunch with me and Krad?"

Crimson eyes blinked, "Who's Krad?"

"My koi-bi-to. Hikari Krad, hotness extraordinaire and desire of anyone who isn't blind, appearance of an angel and attitude of a devil, stare at him for over two minutes and expect to be duffed up." He said with a good-natured grin.

"…sure why not, just let me call Satoshi-kun."

"Who's that?" Dark asked with a grin, "Boy-friend?"

Daisuke blushed, "Err…something like that…"

"Sure, call away. Don't mind my snickering." The redhead glared and nodded then whipped out his cell phone, "Have him on speed dial huh?"

"T-that's none of your business!" Dark just laughed, "Satoshi-kun? Umm…yea, how'd you guess? …so do you want to?" He looked up, "Where?"

"On the hill with that huge ass tree. We'd better hurry, Krad will slaughter me if we're too late for his liking."

"Yea…sure, I'll see you there then. Love you too." He closed his phone and looked up to see the other boy grinning at him, "What?"

"Love you too! Satoshi come here you creep and let me kiss the life out of you!" He said with mockingly along with fake kissing noises.

By this time, he was completely red. "Shut up Dark!" Somehow…it felt like it wasn't the first time he told the violet haired boy to do so.

"Don't worry, I randomly proclaim my love for Krad all the time, it's fun to embarrass him! Know how I met him?"

"No…"

"He's my roommate, and when he walked through the door he was just so pretty I couldn't help but give him a smooch see?"

"Wow…just…wow…" Somehow…he wasn't surprised.

"I know, amazing isn't it? Let's go before he has my head on a platter! Actually…I want to talk to him right now…I miss him…" He pulled out his own phone and put it to his ear.

Daisuke blinked, "I see you have him on speed dial too…"

"Of course! First one on my list-hello? Kraddy-kins! I missed you!" There was a pause, then he laughed, "Yea I know it's only been ten minutes, but I still miss you! Is there a law against it? You should be happy that I love you this much!" They began to walk off towards the hill to see someone sitting against the tree, on the phone, "Guess what Krad?"

By this time, they were within hearing range, the blonde let out a sigh, "What?"

"Hi Kraddy-kins-koi!"

The blonde looked over in surprise, crimson eyes widened at the sight, the image of an angel with large white wings and long golden hair suddenly popped into his mind. He shook it off and followed Dark towards his lover, golden eyes watched him, "Who are you?"

"Hi, I'm Niwa Daisuke."

"Hikari Krad."

"Daisuke!"

The redhead turned around to see the blue haired boy walking towards them, "Satoshi-kun!" He smiled and waved.

Dark grinned, plopping down next to the blonde, "How nice…it feels like the family's together again."

Blue eyes narrowed, "What family? Who are you?"

"I'm Dark Mousy if you must know, you creep."

"Hidoi Dark!"

"Too bad Dai-chan! I'm simply being honest!"

Krad sighed and began playing around with his phone, taking pictures of their first meeting. Dark yelling his lungs out at Satoshi, and Satoshi doing the same. Daisuke trying to solve the problem, and him just sitting there, watching. He smiled, Dark was right about something…it did feel like everything was back to normal…suddenly he was knocked over by Dark who was tackled by Satoshi who was pushed by a tripping Daisuke.

"I'm sorry!"

"Get me off this idiot!"

"Get off me you creep!"

"Dark! I can't breathe!"

"Yea you creep! Get off! Krad's gonna die!"

"Krad-kun…are you alright?"

"Do I look alright? Dark! Get off!"

"I'm trying! Creepy boy isn't exactly light!"

"Neither are you!"

"I'm hurt Krad…"

"Just shut up and get off me!"
