D. N. Angel Fan Fiction ❯ Fire and Ice ❯ Irriplaceable Comfort ( Chapter 7 )

Fire and Ice; One is Never Completed Without the Other

EDITED VERSION

 

A/N: I hope no one feels like killing me for bringing Daisuke and Satoshi so close and then pulling them part. Don't worry. Things will get better.

Chapter 7: “Irreplaceable Comfort”

He was kicking and moaning. Flipping from one side to the other. Grasping onto whatever he could. But the demons were there, ripping him apart...


(Daisuke's POV)


"No....no..NO!" I woke up panting hard, sweating bullets, "It was only a dream?"


(Calm down Daisuke. It was just another nightmare.) I looked around the quiet, golden light filled room. How can this place remain so peaceful when in my mind, there were demons attacking me. I was finally at peace, until I realized I had awaken to an empty bed. "Satoshi?"


(Well, watta ya know! Creepy boy just bailed on you!)

 

Satoshi... (Daisuke? Are you alright?)

 

I reached out to touch his spot. The place that he's always present at when I awake, but not today. It was cold. "He must have left long before I awoke."


(Daisuke?)

 

He looked so hurt last night. It's like his true inner emotions were finally showing, and he appeared to be crestfallen. I feel so bad....

 

(Daisuke! There's no need to be a cry baby!)

 

“What happened that made you so upset, ....Satoshi? Why couldn't you have told me what was wrong?!” I found myself lying over his spot, and I was lightly sobbing again! I've woken up to find him gone! "Where are you?"



(Daisuke, have you done anything to upset Satoshi?) “I don't know! I just want to see him!” I was worried about him. Something was up last night. Perhaps I did something to upset him… And his voice… it was so stunned with anguish that it seemed that... that... (That his heart was broken.)

 

“What?”

 

(So the kid finally snapped. It's about time. A person can only take so much.)

 

"Wait, Dark, how could his heart have been broken?"


(You are so clueless that it's mind numbing! Just get ready. Who knows what the day has in store for you.)

 

“I already know.”

 

(What is it?)

 

“Because the tour bus it still in repairs, we are gonna be taught some of the Europeans ways of etiquette, or something like that.”

 

(So, in other words, you are gonna be taught how to use a fork!)

 

“Not just that, silly, but mainly we are...um...”

 

(Yes? Spit it out already!)

 

“We are going learn how to dance to the waltz.”

 

(Hahahhahah! You, dance?! Don't make me laugh!)

 

“I bet I could dance way better than you!”

 

(At least I would dance with a girl!)

 

“What? Wait a second! I have to dance with a girl!”

 

(You're such a fruit cake, Daisuke.)

 

“Whatever. I don't care anymore.”


I combed my hand through my hair while I wiped away some tears. Why was it that guys have to only marry girls? (So they can have little babies, and add to the already enormous population.) Why should that matter?! Not everyone wants to have kids, and so what! Homosexuals can adopt! (Now, I wouldn't want to be raised by two men, but it's a different story if they were women.) Anything was better than living in an orphanage! I don't believe that gender should limit your choice in who you can or cannot love. (I just think it's weird.) “That's because you are thinking with a straight mind! I give up. Dark, you can exist in my body, feel all my feelings, and hear my thoughts, but you'll never fully understand what I've come to love, unless you are me.”

 

(I don't think that anyone in the right mind can understand you.) “Just shut up!”

 

I fell forwards into the mattress. I can't think anymore, and now I have to dance with Riku! I can't believe that they would even think about calling her my sacred maiden. She's no maiden; she's a devil in a human's body!


I leaped off the bed, and...


THUMP


"OUCH!"


I fell. I was such a klutz. I tripped on the sheets again, ...stupid sheets. (Hahahaha! Daisuke! You are just so helpless without your man! And the funny thing is that it's cute!)

 

"Hmp. I don't have to rely on Satoshi for everything!"


KNOCK


KNOCK


"H uh?" Who in the right mind would be here at this time? "Yes?!"


"Daisuke? Is that you who's making all that racket?"


It was the voice of the she-devil, Riku. "I was having a bad dream!" and I woke up into an even worse nightmare.


"Can I come in?"


"Sure!" why do I always have to be so nice! I hate myself for it!


I ran to the door, and opened it. Riku stood on the other side dressed in some elegant, white garments. Hm, maybe it was something that the English wear to tea. "May I come in?"


Didn't I already approve that, or does she like to hear herself talk? "I said it was ok."


"You don't say that. You say, 'Of course, please come in.'"


Suddenly, this seemed to be the beginning of a long day, "Of course. Please come in."


"Pardon the intrusion, but....oh, my, Daisuke! Don't you and Satoshi take care of the room? It looks like a tornado blew through here!"


I wonder what happened to all that weird and fancy talk? Oh, well. It's not like I could follow along. "Yeah. Sorry about that, but I guess we just don't feel much like keeping our room nice and neat. It's just not our style," well, maybe not mine, but I know that Satoshi is a neat freak. But he hasn't complained about the mess yet.



"You know, Daisuke, if you ever want some help, you know, cleaning the room, you could always ask for assistance."


"No. It's ok."


"By the way. I just noticed that Hiwatari-san isn't here. Where is he?"



They announced that he had some other issues he needed to attend to. So, I really didn't know. I shrugged my shoulders, and suddenly, Riku smiled just got wider. Bitch. I knew she didn't like him.


"Well, Riku, if you don't mind, I still have to get ready."


"Let me help you."


"No, it's ok, I can get ready by myself."


"I don't think so. You are still wearing the same clothes from last night."


Last night....Why must you remind me. Last night was one of the worse moments of my life. "Yeah, well, I just forgot to change."


"Is that so?"


She started to walk suspiciously closer to me. I gulped as I found my back against the wall. Had I been slowly moving backwards? "Dai-kun, there's no need to be scared of me." Says who?! "I won't hurt you. You were looking at me as if I was a ghost," she whispered.


"I wasn't, um, it's just...."



THUMP


She slammed one hand against the wall beside my cheek. "I'm sorry. I'm just so excited to see you."


What is she doing? I looked back at her, and she is....is... she's moving closer! I tried to turn my face away, but her hand prevented me from looking elsewhere. "Dai. I love you so much."


Where is she going with this? I was trembling from goose bumps! And still the bitch was moving closer! "Please, let me kiss you."



No way! Get away....too late. I stared at her blushing face as her lips lingered on mine. I forced myself to stay calm, but then I could feel her tongue brushing against my lips. I kept my mouth shut, denying her entrance. I wasn't going to tongue with her, even if she tried to kill me. I wasn't gonna let her deepen the kiss. Yet, my determined attempts proved useless as she moved one hand to my chin, and forced me to open. I couldn't fight her off, but I didn't want to just sit there. I groaned as I could feel her tongue entering my moist cavern. I wanted to scream! But I couldn't...She searched for my tongue, and stroked it once she had found it. I could hear her moaning to herself, "...mnn..."



Please pull away! I didn't have anything to offer her! I wanted to tell her to stop moving her hand down my body! I wanted to cry! I didn't like to be forced to do anything! Suddenly, she was trying to pull my pants down! What was her problem?! She moved one hand onto my hip, while the other slipped inside! I broke from her poisonous lips, gasping for the sweet air, but then she moved her lips to my neck to keep herself occupied. She moved south, and I had no choice, I had to push her away! I didn't want this! I wouldn't let her do this! "STOP!"


I shoved her away.


THUMP


I had slammed her body against the opposite wall. "Riku?"


I looked over at her. She was still on her feet, but she looked mad. Glaring at me with those shark eyes; hungry for a denied passion. "What were you doing?!"



"I wasn't gonna hurt you, Daisuke! I wanted to prove my love to you by summiting myself to you!"


"Why would I want that?!"


"You mean, you don't want to do it with me?"



She walks in here, trying to act like a lady, and then suddenly she tries to rape me?! "Riku, I'm not like you."



"What do you mean?"



"Riku. There's something that I've been meaning to say you. I was supposed to tell you last night, but I never had the chance. I don't know if this is the best time to tell you, but I can't wait any longer."



"What are you saying?"


"Riku. I want to break up with you."



There. I had finally said it. Inside me, I was singing to the angels, and praying now that I would find my Satoshi. Then, everything died as I looked over at Riku, it was like hell on Earth. She was raging with anger, and engulfed in dark flames. If life wasn't so precious, then I'm sure that she would have kill me! "Riku? Listen, I'm sorry, but I can't return your feelings any longer. I'm in love with someone else."


"You are in love with someone else?!" the tears poured from her eyes, "How could you do this to me, Daisuke?! This is too....too sudden."


"Riku, it's not like it's the end of the world!"



"Daisuke. You still don't get it....YOU ARE THE WORLD TO ME!"


"You don't love me! You can't love me! You are confusing love with a temporary infatuation! If you truly love me, then, then...."


"I do! I really do love you!"


"If another, better guy comes along, then you'd leave me for him! That's the kind of relationship that we have, Riku. There really isn't any real commitment. I can't continue to like you in that way anymore."


"Is that what this about? You are scared that another guy will come along and take me away from you? So you think that it's better that we break up now?!"


"No! I never said that!"


"I won't hear it!" why didn't Riku get the message?


"Riku, please try to understand. I'm in a delicate situation."


"What kind of delicate situation?!"


"I'm in love with another guy!"


I hadn't meant to blurt that out, but it was too late. It was as if she had seen someone killed before her eyes. Her face went blank. Her tears stopped. Even the light from her eyes faded. It was as if her entire system had shut down. It was actually kinda nice. "Riku?"


"You are in love with another guy....?"


I was blushing in the mist of our debate. "Yes."


"Which is it, Daisuke?! It's obvious that you aren't straight, so are you bi, or all the way gay?!"


I wasn't even sure for myself. I wasn't attracted to any girls, but the only guy I saw as a potential lover was Satoshi. "I'm not sure."


"Then there's still hope, right?"


"What?"


"Just give me a chance. I'll prove to you that loving a girl is much more accepted than loving another guy. You have a better chance with a girl, and you won't have to hide it."


She just wouldn't give up! And suddenly, she pulled me onto the bed, sits on the edge, and forces me to sit down next to her. I reluctantly proceed. Now, she rested her head in the crook of my neck, and hums a whispering tune. I listen to it, and all at the same time, I tried to ignore it. I had something else itching at me. I couldn't ignore the feeling of her hair tickling my neck. Her hair fell over my cheeks, and a moment replayed in my mind of the other night when Satoshi leaned down towards me; his hair also fell over my face. I doubt that I was gonna see him anytime soon. But the next time that I did, I was gonna make sure that I will make it clear that he was all that I wanted. "Who are you in love with?"


"I can't say."


"Why not?"


"Because it's only for me to know."


"Is it Dark?"


"No."


"Satoshi?"


I waited for several seconds, then whispered, "...no."


It hurt to say that, even if I knew lying was for the better. "You do love him."


My eyes shot wide open. "You do!" she sat up and looked at me in the eyes, "You are in love with Satoshi Hiwatari!" I shook my head. "I can see it in your eyes. You are in love with my sister's boyfriend!"


"No I'm not!"


SLAP!


The she-devil just slapped me! "Don't lie! I know you are! You love him!"


"No..."


"That explains a lot... You are always hanging out with him. You suddenly became depressed the day my sister asked him out, and on that same day, you two suddenly disappeared. Does he love you too? Ohmigod! Have you been cheating on me?!"


Girls are sharp. "No! None of that is true!"


"You guys sleep alone here in this room. I'm sure you even bathe together! Tell me, what else have you two done?!"


"It's not true! None of it's true! How could he ever love me when he's in love with Risa! You don't have to worry about Satoshi. He's as straight as it gets....," damn it! Any second now, and I'm gonna burst into tears! I hate being so weak! "I just...I just want to be close to him. He's one of the greatest friends that I've ever had...He's always been there with me, through the good and the bad. And in times that I've thought I would never make it, he was there to help me. He's like a giant bird with huge wings wrapping themselves around my body. That kind of comfort is irreplaceable. I just want to stay wrapped up in those wings....forever...."



SLAP!


She slapped me again, and with the pain came my tears. "You are so gay it makes me sick!"


"I can't help what I feel," Oh, man. Now I just gave her evidence to confirm my interest in Satoshi.

"I can't allow you to love Satoshi, and I won't allow you to break away from me. You're mine, Daisuke. I won't allow you to love someone else! You're mine, and you're gonna be mine forever!"


I shook my head. I couldn't stand Riku any longer! I didn't want anything more to do with her! "Come on, Daisuke. Get yourself ready. We have to go."


"I don't care anymore! I just want to call in sick."


"No! You're going to this thing whether you like it or not!"

A/N: Fruit Cake, for all those who do not know, a fruit cake is another way of calling someone gay.

Ok, so basically the entire chapter is on Daisuke's struggle to break it off with Riku. But remember, people, this is Riku. And she can be known for being stubborn. She won't go down without a fight, seriously...(hint hint) Sorry if you felt that this chapter was pretty much all dialogue.
