The singer sighed, her soft pink lips curving in to a frown as she walked off the stage. After she dug her hand into her pocket for a few moments, she pulled out a cell phone, making sure to hide it from view. She was going to be late if she didn't leave the concert very soon. Apparently the gods decided to pity her, for upon opening her phone and pressing a few keys her frown disappeared. He was going to be late, too.
She cleared her head as she was once more pushed onto the stage, stealthily placing her cell phone back in pocket in the process before heading for the mic. She listened to the music for a few moments, sapphire eyes closed, before her mouth opened and her voice filled the entire area.
"I wanted..." she began to sing, her spirits much higher than before.
-------------------------------
He mentally cursed his luck as he leaned against a wall and turned on the hand-held television in his hand. There just had to be a letter for this night, didn't there? That damned theif must have known today was the only day he actually had plans otherwise he wouldn't be in this predicament. His inner turmoil didn't show as he texted the person he was supposed to meet, hoping that she would get the message in time. After sending the message he started going through the channels, searching for the one he knew she would be on. When he found it, his gaze softened, but just barely. No one but her would be able to tell the difference in his gaze.
...to be like you...
"Never thought you actually listened to music, or that you might idolize her" a voice mused and his head slowly raised to glance at the winged theif.
"Dark" he stated calmly, clearly not amused.
"The one and only!"
-----------------------------
The woman-child ran down the streets, occasionally passing an enlarged TV that played her concert 'Live" for the entire world to see. She was tempted to stop and watch herself sing with her mouth agape like the other pedestrians, but she had places to go and people to see (or in this case, surprise). She didn't have time to listen to herself sing.
...I wanted everything...
----------------------------
"You're earlier than expected."
"Your watch is off, then, mine says I'm right on time."
"It doesn't matter, this is what you came for, is it not?" Satoshi asked, dangling a small pink jewel on a thin chain from his hands.
"Yes" Dark replied simply, his violet eyes watching the swaying jewel as if in a trance. "Hand it over, I don't want to have to hurt you."
"You say the same thing every time."
...so I tried...
"Turn off the television, Satoshi, I can tell it's distracting you."
"I was unaware that you were starving so much for my attention. But if I refuse?"
The theif shrugged. "Your loss" he mumbled before a flurry of black feathers swirled around the blue-haired boy. The boy squinted his eyes and blocked his face with his arms. When the feathers finally settled down, the theif was gone. Looking at his hand, he noticed that the chain the jewel hung from was snapped cleanly in half. The jewel had disappeared, also.
"Just like I planned" he thought to himself.
--------------------
The singer arrived at the museum to see it surrounded by squad cars. She rolled her eyes and snuck past them, her experience with raving fans helping her now. The police didn't seem to notice her as she slipped past them and she sighed with relief, walking normally once she was sure she was out of their sight. Finding an open window, a smirk formed on her face and she climbed through, landing lightly on the tile below.
...to be like you...
Not seeing anything of interest, she easily maneuvered through the traps she knew that Satoshi had set up for the theif. She wouldn't be caught in them this time. She had enough experience with him to know what he was planning.
-------------------
Satoshi looked at a small device in his hand and watched as the small blinking dot slowly moved away from his current area. He followed, slightly annoyed that the thing didn't show what floor the theif was on.
...and I got swept away...
A shadow flew over him, along with the rustling of clothes, and he saw a feminine figure gracefully jumping over the railing and landing on a different floor above him. Excited blue eyes glowed in the moonlight as the figure glided above and Satoshi felt Krad swelling with pride for the girl.
It was the only thing they both agreed on.
-----------------
She could see him clearly, she could see the dark clothing and everything perfectly as she chased after him, careful of traps that would be set both by Satoshi and the theif in front of her. She was gaining on him, she could tell, and when she was close enough, she tackled the theif. They rolled in a tangling of limbs for a few moments before they slammed into a podium. It began to shake and she was faintly aware of the glass case falling off from above.
...I didn't know that...
"No!" she heard someone shout before she was drowned in pain, then darkness.
------------------
The theif grunted as they a hit stone pillar and groaned as he sat up.
"What the hell?" he grumbled, looking at the girl that was slowly making her way up to a sitting position. That was when he saw the glass case dropping from it's perch upon the stand, aiming right for her. He reached out to remove her from harm but knew he wouldn't make it in time.
"No!" he cried, but it was too late. A loud yelp escaped her as the glass shattered upon her form, spraying across her body.
...you were so cold and...
--------------------
Satoshi froze when he saw what had caused the theif to stop moving and a strange feeling that he was unfamiliar with bubbled up inside of him. He had thought that Kagome had captured the theif, like she had said she would help him do, and she did, but it wasn't the way that he had expected her to.
The theif was above her, desperately attempting to stop the blood that flowed from her wounds with one hand and pulling out shards of glass from her body with another. The words "Oh crap" could be heard repeatedly as they fell from his lips, displaying his distress for the onlookers to see.
Upon seeing Satoshi, the violet-eyed theif also froze. His eyes depicted the inner argument he was having with his avatar. It seemed that his avatar had lost, for a moment later, he turned around and ran off.
...you needed someone to show you the way...
Krad began to awaken inside of him and he tried to fight off the urge to transform. But he wasn't fighting ful-heartedly, for he also wanted to annihilate Dark. White wings ripped out of his back and his hair grew longer, losing their light blue hue and turning blonde. He slowly raised his head to reveal his cold, golden eyes to the world, the amount of hatred he felt not being hidden in the slightest.
He was about to chase after the theif and kill him but a weak whisper halted him before he could do more than twitch a finger.
"...Krad..." the girl whispered again and he looked into her deep, blue depths. "...let him go... onegai..."
He remained silent, but looked out the window, in to the distance where he could see the fading form of the theif flapping in the light of the moon.
"...help me..."
He hesitated but one look in to the dull eyes of the one girl he admired made his resolve shatter and he moved to kneel beside her.
"Do not speak" he commanded icily, but the smile that formed on her lips told him that she had caught the warmth underneath. Her eyes fluttered shut and he picked her up, gracefully opening a window and flying out.
...so I took your hand and...
----------------------------
He sat beside the bed and sighed, back as Satoshi and not Krad. The doctor had told him of her condition, and thank kami-sama it wasn't too serious, but there were some areas that they needed to look closer in to. They were waiting for the x-rays, currently.
"Satoshi" the girl whispered again as she slowly turned her head to look at him. She tensed and her mouth opened in a silent cry of pain. He took her small hand in his and squeezed it comfortingly.
"Don't move."
She smiled softly at him and slowly shut her eyes, falling into another fit of restless slumber. The doctor came back in a few moments later and took a deep breath, preparing in his mind the most comforting words he could come up with.
"No serious damage was dealt to any of her internal organs, however..."
...we figured out that...
"...a particularly large shard of glass had entered her neck. Her jugular was, thankfully, not pierced, but her voice box was."
"Can you fix it?"
The doctor hesitated before replying. "I'm sorry, but... she'll be mute for the rest of her life." The doctor then quickly left the room, letting the young man take in the information without being bothered.
-------------------------------------
The woman-child named Kagome had taken the information quite well once she had awakened a few weeks ago, and was currently prancing around the slightly older male, eyes glowing and smile wide in her silent laughter. She tackled her childhood friend from behind and grabbed his arm before dragging him off to some unknown destination. Satoshi let her, feeling uncharacteristically guilty about the loss of her voice.
"Where are we going, Kagome?" he finally asked after a few moments and she gave him a look that clearly said 'secret'.
...When the time comes I'd take you away...
He sighed and continued to follow. They entered a familiar street and a small smile formed on her lips. They were going to her home.
-----------------------------------
The two teenagers entered Kagome's room and Kagome quickly ran to the center and twirled around as if to say 'tadaaa!!!' Satoshi slowly stepped inside and guilt once again clenched at his heart. There were so many of them, had she made them all by herself?
...if you want to...
"How many are there?" he finally asked after looking around at the different sized and colored paper cranes that sat around the room. Kagome held up her fingers with a silent giggle. 978.
"Oh" he stated monotonously and Kagome looked at him sadly before shaking her head.
'It's not your fault.'
He smiled dejectedly in response.
'Yes it is.'
Kagome huffed and placed her hands on her waist in a show of annoyance before shaking her head again, black locks flailing around before settling back into place seconds later.
...I can save you...
---------------------------------
Satoshi watched as Kagome climbed into her bed, a strange look in his unwavering gaze. When she had finally gotten comfortable, he slowly moved closer and pulled the covers up, wrapping it around her in order to keep her warm.
...I can take you away from here...
"Good night, Kagome" he murmured softly and the girl smiled, snuggling into the covers as she drifted asleep. The moment he knew that she wouldn't wake up, he stood and quietly removed himself from her room. He squeezed his eyes shut in order to calm his anger, but it failed miserably. When his eyes snapped open again, they were gold.
--------------------------------
Daisuke stared out at the sky, completely at a loss of what to do. After the incident at the museum he had pointedly ignored Dark. How could he just leave the girl lying on the ground like that? She was helpless, and bleeding and dying and-
He stopped all thoughts as a shooting star raced across the sky. A small smile formed on his lips and he made a wish, desperately hoping that it would come true.
...so lonely inside, so busy out there...
"Watch out, Daisuke!" Dark shouted from within his mind and Daisuke snapped his eyes up just in time to narrowly miss having his neck snapped in half by a certain blonde-haired angel.
"Krad!" Daisuke gasped but the angel didn't seem to hear him as he lunged again and grabbed him by his neck, shoving him roughly against the wall. The changes in the white-winged angel didn't go unnoticed at such a close range, and they left even Dark speechless.
"Prepare to die, Niwa" Krad growled, his golden eyes turning red and his canines growing unusually long.
"Satoshi!" the red-head coughed but was only met with a ferocious snarl. Daisuke was faintly aware of nails growing at an incredible speed and sharpening so they pricked into his neck.
"Do you enjoy taking everything away from me, Dark?" Krad demanded, the feral sound never leaving his voice.
...and all you wanted was somebody to care...
"What?" Daisuke groaned and Krad tensed for a short time before releasing his grip on the theif's avatar. Daisuke crashed to the ground, panting for breath as the angel turned around.
"Do not think I am through with you yet" he stated before flying off. Daisuke watched as he flew away, terrified of this new development.
...I'm sinkin' slowly...
------------------------------------
Kagome shot up when a crash of lightning thundered across the sky to find hersef alone in her room. Where had Satoshi gone? He had promised to stay with her tonight, for he knew that she had a fear for thunderstorms and lightning.
...so hurry hold me...
"Satoshi" she mouthed when she tried to call out for him, "Krad!" No noise escaped her lips and she grew even more frightened. She hopped out of bed and ran around her home, searching for him, but he didn't appear. Kagome dropped to her knees in the living room as another streak of lightning flashed across the sky and curled into a ball, her fear overwhelming all of her senses as tears began to roll down her cheeks. Her shoulders shook with silent sobs.
"Kagome" Krad panted, for he had flown all the back as fast as he could once he sensed that she had arisen from her slumber. Kagome spun around and ran towards him, flinging herself into his soaked arms without a second thought. She was so scared. She didn't want him to leave her again.
She felt his body changing in her arms. It shrunk, the large white wings disappearing from his back, and the long, wet, yellow hair shortening so it reached the back of his neck, instead.
...your hand is all I have to keep me hangin' on...
The room was once again lit up and Kagome tensed, trembling in his warm embrace.
"Gomen ne..." he whispered and tightened his hold. Her mouth moved in silent pleas and she buried her face in his chest. She could smell her own scent mingling with his on his clothing and slowly calmed down, relishing in the scent of sakura blossoms and trees that permeated the air.
--------------------------
Daisuke fingered the dark bruises around his neck with a slight grimace on his face. What had driven Krad to that state the night before? He felt Dark roll his eyes and Daisuke smiled bitterly. Was there really any reason to ask? It was obviously because of the girl that had gotten injured during their last heist.
"Hurry up, Dai, or you're going to be late for school!" a voice called and Daisuke picked up his back pack. It was time to leave.
...please can you tell me...
-------------------------
Kagome walked behind Satoshi as she neared school. It would be the first time returning since the 'incident', and she wasn't looking forward to it one bit.
"Satoshi!" someone called and the blue-haired youth turned to look at the red-headed person bounding towards them. Kagome looked towards Satoshi once again, curious.
"Go ahead, Kagome" he stated and the girl hesitated before stepping away from him and walking away, occasionally giving him a backwards glance.
...so I can finally see...
------------------------
Daisuke slowed when he saw an all too familiar girl standing behind Satoshi as they stood near the school's eastern wall. A jagged scar across her neck made him grimace but he hid it well, not wanting others to see his expression. He slowed to a walk and slowly made his way up to him.
"Good morning, Satoshi" he greeted but recieved a cold gaze in return.
"Good morning, Daisuke" Satoshi replied, glare softening just a tiny bit.
"Are you alright? Krad attacked me again."
...where you go when you're gone...
"I'm aware of that. You were not the target this time, I assure you."
"He was after Dark, wasn't-"
Satoshi grabbed Daisuke's collar with both hands and slammed him against the wall none too gently.
"I know you can hear me, Dark" he growled lowly and Daisuke's face scrunched up a small amount in confusion. "You will pay for what you did to her. I, no, we will make sure you recieve the deserved punishment personally."
"Satoshi, what are you taking about?" Daisuke asked, even more confused than before. The girl looked perfectly fine before except for the only visible scar she had, which was on her... neck...
"...no..." Dark whispered from some hidden corner in Daisuke's mind and Daisuke's eyes widened, the same word falling out of his mouth. Satoshi released Daisuke with a slight shove before turning around and walking away as if nothing had ever happened. Daisuke stared at the ground a few feet in front of him and slid down the wall until he sat on his butt.
"...Dark..." he mumbled softly but recieved no reply, but somehow he had a feeling that the same thing was going through their minds.
Wishes made upon a falling star didn't seem to come true.
To Be Continued...
