Chapter 6

 

Satoshi and Daisuke step out into the alley, cloaks securely in place, and their faces well concealed from the shadows of the cloak. Satoshi takes the lead, knowing where to go, even though the only time he traversed this route it was dark. He leads them through the complex winding of the town's allies and finally they make it to the street.

 

The teens stop on the edge of the street and peer out at the bustling town's people racing back and forth between the merchants, trying to get the best prodicts and prices. Satoshi takes the first step into the crowded streets, and Daisuke silently follows him, not wanting to get lost.

 

The blue haired commander easily winds his way through the streets, past people and stands, ignoring all the salesmen calling to him, wanting him to look at their products then purchase them. Daisuke follows Satoshi quietly, while looking each and every way. Crimson eyes roam curiously onver people, and stands and the few small children still playing games. 'Well at least the Queen hasn't taken all the children away.' He mentaly sighs, feeling slightly better.

 

Daisuke and Satoshi wend their way throughout the entire city and explore well into the evening when their hunger become to much to ignore. Silently they make their way back towards the little old lady's home, using Satoshi's mental map of the entire city to get there without hindrence.

 

As they arrive back at the place, they find the little old lady sitting in the alley outside knitting a sweater out of wool. She greets them with a motherly smile which reminds the younger of the two just how much he misses his mother. 'I'll see my mom, and Dark tomorrow!'He mentally cheers as he fights off the effects of homesickness.

 

Kiriko beckons the boys into the house, where she pulls out their meals. The three of them eat in silence, each thinking over something or another. The woman clears away the dishes once they had all completed their simple supper, and then grabed several sheafs of parchment.

 

"A friend of mine was able to get the guards routes, and switching shedules, everthing is either indicated on this map," She pulls out the map from the pile which is a detailed map of the castle's interier and exterior, "All the times are written here, while the soliders states are here, along with the order of their runs." She informs them as Satoshi scans over everything.

 

"Wow! thank you!!" Daisuke thanks her with a respectful seated bow, which makes him look rather silly. The red head straightens out and looks over at the maps and parchement Satoshi is pouring over. "The best course," Satoshi says, "Would be to go in the eariler decided entrance at midnight. The guard change will be happening at that hour and the change will be slow as the guard at that hour has a record for always being drunk."

 

Daisuke nods as he listens intently on the plan, not wanting to mess up and put both them and posibly anyone else in jepordy. "We will head out at half past eleven. Then we will make our move." Satoshi says as he rolls the maps and papers up and stands. "We should get all the rest we can before we depart. Kiriko, could you posibly wake us at eleven?" He questions and turns his handsome saphire blue eyes to the elderly woman.

 

She nods her head while wearing a light smile. "I can and I will. You two rest up now." She orders and boys boys silently obey and make their way towards the bed that they continously share with one another. Kiriko blows out the chandle and dims the oil lantern down as soon as the boys are comfortly settled beneigh the many worn but purpose sevring blanket.

As darkness falls, Dark slowly opens his eyes and regards the sleeping blond next to him on his tamer's bed. 'Daisuke... I miss you.... Don't worry I'll cover for you tomorrow at school, and Krad will cover for Satoshi, even if I have to force him to.... Which would be amusing.' He says mentally as he sits up and looks silently over at the window.

 

His deep purple eyes watch the star filled sky as he debates how best to be Daisuke tomorrow. 'Well .... food colouring and contact lenses outta do the trick.... I have to go steal some' He admits silently to himself as he climbs out of bed still fully dressed.

 

The movents of the bed as he clibs out causes the sleeping angel/demon to stir and open his eyes. "What are you doing?" He questions, tiredness obvious in his voice as he slowly sits up and rubs the sleep from his eyes.

 

"I'm going to go steal things that I can use to disguise myself as Daisuke tomorrow at his school." He tells Krad as he gently prodes the sleeping Wiz awake with his index finger. Krad fianly snaps awake. "i'll come to, I need a major costume change so that I can cover for Satoshi." Krad says, not wanting his tamer to return and find that his reputation was spoiled by him, Krad.

 

"You'd actually do that without me dragging you kicking and screaming?" Dark looks at Krad and demands incrediously. "Certainly." Krad nods. "Though there is a much simpler way to look like them than stealing costumes." He states and shakes his head thinking Dark is mental for not thinking of it.

 

"There is?" The phantom theif asks as he crosses his arms over his chest and gains a thoughtful look that doesn't suit him. "Magic." Krad states with a mental sigh, trying to remember if Dark's creator had ever drop him on the head when he was made. "Uh... Right I knew that!" Dark declares as he nods his head for emphasis.

 

Krad closes his eyes and mutters a complex and highly confusing spell under his breath while Dark watches in silence not wanting to disturb the homicidal blond. Minutes pace and the blond angle still continues muttering, then suddenly his hands glow a radiant yellow, and the glow engulfs both of them in an errie light. The glow dissapears, leaving it its place Dark looking exactly like Daisuke, and Krad looking exactly like Satoshi.

 

After the transformation, both of them decided to check themselves out in the mirror in the bathroom, looking for any possible flaws, or abnormalties. Seeing none Dark nods his head in approval and asks. "Nice job Krad, now how well have you been paying attention to how things run in school?"

 

"Of course!" Krad whisper shouts hotly, not liking being accused of being a slacker and not paying attention to his tamer's life. Dark chuckles, and shakes his head earning him a heated glare curtosy of a certain golden hiared angel, in the discuse of creepy boy.

A gentle hand on his shoulder slowly but firmly shakes Daisuke out of his dreams, and he reluctantly opens his eyes. He blinks his stunning crimson eyes several times to remove the sleep, nd he slowly becomes awake and alert. "it's time." The owner of the hand on his shoulder says as he looks into the deeply lined face of Kiriko.

 

Daisuke yawns and slowly rolls off the bed and onto the floor with a thud, before slowly standing and running a hand over his lower back. 'That was smart.' He mentally tells himself as the little old lady giggles at the teen's antics.

 

A deep, but soothing chuckle reaches his ears and he spins around, and spots Satoshi, sitting at the table, with the map spread out in front of him. The handsome blue haired commander shakes his head with a slight smile playing about his lips. Daisuke smiles and laughs embarrasedly as a red flush dominates his cheeks, since he felt like an idiot.

 

Satoshi climbs out of the cahir, and stands before rolling the map up and picking up his cloack and adorning it. He then grabs Daisuke's cloack and tosses it at the smaller teen, who easily catches it and likewise puts it on with slightly shaking hands; his nerves are slowly picking away at his calmness.

 

Both teens bow their thanks to the elderly Kiriko, before turning towards the door. As Satoshi places his hand on the rough wooden surface oh the door a voice behind them says. "Wait! I have one more thing for the both of you!" She declares as she runs over to the dresser, and opens the bottom drawer. She digs for several minutes until she puls out two delicatly wrapped packages, both long and narrow.

 

She closes the drawer and slowly walks over to the boys and stands in front of them watching the two of them closely. After a few moments she holds the two packages out, one for Daisuke, and the other for Satoshi. Daisuke blinks in curiosity and accepts the gift in silence, and Satoshi follows suit.

 

They silently unwrap the gifts and the packaging falls to the ground as they hold their new gifts in shock. "If you are going to challenge the Queen in her army, it would be best to be armed." She merely states, wanting them to know that they may very well have to fight to defend their lives. 'A sword!' Daisuke mentaly says in aw. 'I've only ever seen them in museums and what not.' He adds to his awed mind.

 

The blue haired beauty quickly over comes his awe, and commenses to inspect the quality of the blade, and notes it is flawless. 'Must have been crafted by magic.' He observes, knowing full well no human could do such a work by hand.

 

"Th.... Thank you..." Daisuke stutters, still stunned from not only being given a real sword but he was actually holding it in his own hands. "Your gifts are very much a ppreacated, as is your hosptitality, thank you." Satoshi says being the ever so polite one.

 

"No need to thank me. I just want you two to get home, back to where ever it is you are from. Good luck." She bids them farewell and they exit the home firmly closing the door behind them, and drawing their hoods up over their faces.

 

Commander Hiwitari leads the winding way through the alleys till they reach the main road, void of anyone as it is an hour where everyone is asleep. They silently creep towards the castle, not wanting to make any sounds that could wake someone up, or alert the guards of where their escapees are located.

 

Daisuke's hidden crimson eyes stare up at the looming castle as they approach it from their chosen side. He follows Satoshi step for step, knowing that the slightly older teen knows what to do, while he is uncertain. He shivers in anticipation as they lean against the exterior wall of the gate sepearting the castle from the rest of the town.

 

The two boys lean against the tall and icy cold stone wall stretching high over their heads, both look up, trying to spot any guards, though they see none. Satoshi nods his head, before sliding his sword into his belt and silently, stealthily, and rapidly, he starts to climb the wall.

 

Daisuke, likewise, places his sword into his belt before silently scaling the wall next to Satoshi, as they near the top the eldest of the two peers over the edge and motions for the younger to follow. First the blue haired one climbs over and jumps soundlessly to the ground, then the red head follows and lands on his feet before falling to his but like a cluts.

 

Satoshi helps Daisuke to his feet as the red head tenderly runs a hand over his lower back. "I thought by now you'd be cured of that clutziness." Satoshi teases quietly as he drags the red head towards the wall where their entrance is located.

 

Satoshi gazes each and everyway before opeing the passage way and quickly ushering Daisuke inside before following himself and securly sealing their entrance into the castle. Satoshi pulls out a candle and some matches and quickly lights the cadle before unrolling the map in the narrow secret passage way.

Dark and Krad silently walk down the side walk towards the school in their clever and unbeatable discuises. Dark tugs on the hem of the left sleeve grumbling insanities about dress codes and stupid refining uniforms that make him look less sexy than hot black leather which makes the ladies drool.

 

Krad too was muttering about the injustness of not being able to where his clothing, and he grumbles about what he plans to do to the person who chose this outfit. 'Damn egotistical jerk...I'll show you why people think I'm a homicidal blond.' He thinks to himself.

 

Once they arrive at the school, they notice the grounds are completly empty and silent. Both angelic entites in disguise exchange a look knowing, that either they were extremly early or late. "Shit!" Krad says angrily as both 'teens' race towards the school doors and rapidly enter.

 

They silently race to their lockers and deposit all their books that they drag with them, before racing off to 'their' classroom. Dark quickly slides the door open and they stare at everyone standing about discuses things. "Daisuke!" Takeshi shouts and makes his way over to Dark.

 

Dark switches into his 'act like Daisuke so no one discovers it's me' mode. "Hi Takeshi!" He greets with a happy/goofy grin. "You're late! You missed the vote for who is playing what role in the play we are doing!" Takeshi grabs Dark in a sleepers hold as he speaks. "Which play are we doing?" Krad asks emotionlessly as Dark attempts to struggle though he fakes being weak.

 

Takeshi drops Dark and looks at Krad. "Romeo and Juliet! And you'd never guess who got voted in for which roles!" Takeshi states with laughter hidden horribly in his voice. "Who plays what?" Krad asks almost boredly.

 

Krad's words seems to have sent the yound Saehara over the edge as he collapses to the ground in hysterical bursts of laughter, though he does point at the board. Both Dark and Krad ignore Takeshi and walk towards the board where they read.

 

'Romeo and Juliet. Romeo= Satoshi 29 votes Juliet= Daisuke 26 votes Montague= Takeshi 21 votes Capulet= Masahiro 22 votes Nurse= Riku 25 votes Lady Montague= Risa 19 votes Tybalt=Yuuji 23 votes Sampson= Ukawa 18 votes Greygory= Kisugi 27 votes Abraham= Miyuki 20 votes Benvolio= Jun 24 votes Lady Capulet= Ritsuko 28 votes All other cast will be played by the rest of the students.'

 

Dark blinks several times. 'They are making Daisuke play a girl?' He mentally laughs to himself. 'Now that is pathetic!' Krad merely shakes his head and turns around as the door to the class is opened loudly, and in walks the one and only Keiji Saga.

 

"All right!" Takeshi says as he stands on the teachers desk. "This is out producer Keiji Saga for those who haven't heard of him, and I will be the director." Keiji nods and looks around at his 'minion' who was handing out all the scripts to everyone. "You can all call me my nickname Sagatchi!" He says happily.

 

"Lets get practicing!" Sagatchi declares and all the students pick up their scripts and commence practicing as they are told.

 

Several hours pass, then lunch passes too, both Dark and Krad were annoyed to find out that not longer were they the main characters, that they were supposed to be in love with each other. As the practicing resumes after their lunch hour, both Dark and Krad's patience was worn out.

 

As they open their books to Act 5, Scene 1, something strange happened, suddenly both Krad and Dark went from practicing to laying unconsious on the floor after a burning sensation made its way through both of their bodies.

Satoshi slowly walks through the passage following his chosen route with help from the candle held firmly in his grasp. Daisuke silently follows peering down many of the joining passages ways they pass on their route to the treasure room.

 

They safely follow the route and finally come to its end. Satoshi blows out the candle and pushes the concealed door open ever so slightly to peer out, seeing no one he leaps out and Daisuke follows and then he closes the painting behind them

 

They silently sneak through many halls before they arrive at the hall that turns onto the other hall which leads to the treasury, where the key to their return lies. Voices of guards reach their ears and they peer around the bend to see two soliders, heavily armed standing millitary style on either side of the door.

 

Daisuke looks up at Satoshi wondering what they were going to do. 'A deversion?' He mentaly suggests as he returns his focus onto the guards. Satoshi leans extremly close to the younger teen and whisper quietly into his ear. "I will distract them and draw them away from the door. Once they are gone I want you to slip in unnoticed and find this artifact that we're searching for. Once I have them a good distance away I'll take an escape route and return to that chamber and then we leave."

 

The red head nods his head in understanding and concceals himself behind a statue gracing the halls while Satoshi waits for his friend to become invisible. After checking and double checking Satoshi nods and walks into the hall that the guards are loacted in and he lowers the hood of his cloak.

 

The conversation of the guard instantly disapears as they spot Satoshi. "Intruder!" The smaller of the two declares as both soliders start to run after Satoshi who turns and runs down the hall opposite of where Daisuke is and leads the two guards from their posts.

 

Once the path is clear, Daisuke silently edges out of his hidding spot and sprints towards the door. 'Good luck Satoshi.' He mentaly states for his friend as he shoves the large doors open and swiftly enters, closing the door firmly behind himself.

 

His eyes widden as he looks around the room. "Wow..." He breaths and looks around in shook. The room was filled with so many beautiful and power radiating artifacts and items that he was unsure where to commence his search. 'I wish I knew what I was looking for.' He thinks to himself as he moves forward crimson eyes darting each and every direction.

 

Daisuke's eyes come to a rest on a golden alter at the back of the chamber, and out of curiosity, he makes h is way towards the undoubtedly expencive craft. On his way to the back he occasionaly will glance at several items here and there, though noting seems to scream 'I am a magical artifact that will somehow transport you and your friend back to whatever strang and deranged world you come from'.

 

He climbs the few steps leading up to the shimmering alter and his mouth drops open at not only its splendor but the small like artifact resting motionlessly on its clean surface. 'This is it!' He hapilly thinks to himself as he stares at the piece.

 

There on the alter rests a silver shimmering orb, which just seems to scream. 'I am the magical artifact that will somehow magically transport you and your friend back to whatever strange and deranged world you come from.'

 

Daisuke quickly picks it up and places it inside his cloak before silently heading back towards the doors, waiting nervously for Satoshi's return. The doors fly open and in races an out of breat Satoshi, who is being followed by guards and a richly dressed woman, who, by just one glance, you could tell she was the definition of pure evil.

 

The red-headed teen tenses, their plan to lure the guards away had failed, and now, the two of them are surrounded by the entire Royal Guard squad and their Queen. Satoshi stands between their enemies and Daisuke, as though trying to offer his younger friend some protection.

 

"So you are the two my minions had captured then escaped." The Queen states in a disturbing silky voice, which made them both want to cringe. "Do you have the artifact?" Satoshi whispers out of the side of his mouth and Daisuke nods his head slightly to signal that he had indeed located it, and currently has it.

 

"What fine specimens... You both look so tasty." She says as she licks her crimson coloured lips as a frightening gleam moves into her scarlet eyes. "Guards cease them!!" She orders as she points a delicate digit at them.
