Chapter 1: So Close,Yet So Far

"Daisuke's been really depressed lately."

I looked up at Saehara and just shrugged. "It's probably just a phase."

Saehara shook his head,"If it was I would agree with you. But he's been like this for a couple of months now."

"Just leave it be."

"Why should I? I'm his friend. And I'm not gonna leave it alone."

I slammed my hand down on my desk and shot Saehara an icy,cold glare. He yelped and took a step back away from me. A frightened look came upon his face as he waited for me to speak.

"I'm Niwa's friend as well! And I'm just as worried about him as you are!"

Saehara put both his hands up in front of him,surrendering before things got ugly. "Easy,Satoshi! I'm not trying to pick a fight!"

"It sure looks like it."

Saehara shook his head,"I'm not. Look,if what I said offended you then I'm sorry. It's just..." He stopped looking at me and turned his head to stare at the front of the class. To a desk in the far left. Where Daisuke was sitting at.

Daisuke was sitting in his seat,just staring aimlessly outside the class window. There was no happy expression on his face like he would usually have. The only expression that he wore was one of mourning. And the look in his eyes proved that fact even more. There was no life in them. Even though Daisuke should be the happiest man right now because he got the girl of his dreams,he wasn't. He was dead inside. A hollow shell of what he used to be.

And all of that was because of one person...

"It's just because Dark is gone..."

My eyes traveled back to look at Saehara. He found out about Dark being apart of Daisuke shortly after he had disappeared. At first,Saehara couldn't and wouldn't believe it. To let him know that it was the truth,Daisuke and his family showed Saehara the place where they kept all the artwork that had been stolen. When Saehara saw everything,he passed out. In turn I had to tell him about Krad and my part in everything. It was a lot for Saehara to handle but he came to accept everything in time.

And he also knew that the source of Daisuke's depression was because Dark was now gone. And it was taking a big toll on Daisuke.

"He still won't talk to you guys?"

Saehara and I turned around to be greeted by Risa's sad since Dark's departure from Daisuke she has had to deal with Riku,Daisuke's girlfriend and her twin sister,sadness and anger. Daisuke has shunned Riku from his life. He doesn't talk to her,see her,or anything that couples would do together. And because of that Risa has spent most,if not all,of her time comforting her sister. Trying to keep her hopes up that things between her and Daisuke will get better. Thought from the looks of it it doesn't look like anything will change.

"I hate it when you wear that expression on your face..."

"Huh?"

I got up and walked over to Risa. Placing my hands on her cheeks I looked into her eyes and rest my forehead on hers. "That expression doesn't suit you."

"Sato-"

Not being able to control myself I leaned in and kissed Risa. Whenever I see her with that sad and pained look on her face I just can't help but want to kiss it away. I don't like seeing her suffer at all. Even though the pain she feels isn't hers but her sister's she still makes it her own.

"Jeez! I know you two are going out and everything,but could you keep the PDA for when your alone?" Saehara stated as he tried to conceal the blush that has spread across his face.

I stopped kissing Risa and placed my hand on my face,realizing what I had just done. "S-sorry! I...um...Damn."

Risa just laughed and ruffled my hair a bit,"It's okay. It's been a while since we've done that."

"What? Are you serious?"

"Yeah. Ever since Daisuke started acting like this Risa and I haven't been able to see each other as much as before."

"Yes. I've been with Riku."

"Damn," Saehara ran his fingers through his hair. "So this is getting into your relationship."

It was. But Risa and I have kept it together for all this time. And I doubt that it will separate us. It's actually brought us closer. Closer because we don't want to be the only ones that are happy. We want Daisuke and Riku to be as well.

"It's okay. Nothing can drive us apart from each other so we don't have to worry." Risa said as she smiled cheerfully for once in a long time.

Saehara couldn't help but smile along with her. "That's good to hear. Now,if only that happiness could be with those two then everything will be fine."

I looked back over to Daisuke. It hurt seeing him the way he was. Even though Dark was a nuisance at times to me and the police force he was a very big part of Daisuke's life. To lose someone who you cared about deeply,who taught you many things,who was there for you when you needed someone. To lose a person that special to you in an instant...it could kill a person inside...

I closed the door to my apartment and threw my keys onto the table that was next to the door. It was another long day of silence with Daisuke. I spent the whole day trying to talk to him,seeing if he would say anything. But all my attempts where for nothing. I just ended up walking with him to all his classes not hearing even a peep from him. It was exhausting talking the whole time seeing as how before I rarely did it. And today was another lunch without Risa because Riku pulled her away from me before I could even ask.

"This is going to take a long time..." I sighed as I placed my book bag next the same table I had put my keys on.

"A long time for what?"

My eyes widened. I opened the drawer of the table and pulled out the Glock that I kept there. As a just in case. I pointed it in the direction the voice had came from.

"Satoshi. Put the gun down."

My father walked over to the light switch and flicked it on. He crossed his arms over his chest and waited and me to do as he said.

"Not until you tell me why you decided to come into my home."

My father sighed,"Why must you make this difficult.?"

"Why must you remain in my life?"

He flinched at my words. Even though Dark and Krad are gone and everything is somewhat normal I still hate my father. For years he has tormented me and made my life a living hell all for the sake of capturing Dark. And now that both the angels are gone he expects me to forgive him for everything and be as if nothing ever happened. And that's not something that I can do on a whim.

"I know that you are still angry at me for everything that has happened,but can't you just let it go? I'm trying to be the father that you deserved all this years. I'm trying to right my wrongs."

"No. I can't let it go. It's too many years of pain to just drop all at once. And you decided a little too late to be the dad I need. And that also goes for you righting your wrong." I lowered the gun and put it back in it's resting place. "It's too late for all of that."

My father just stood there in silence as I passed him and went to my kitchen. I still couldn't stand being in the same room as him. All the pain that I've tried so hard to get rid of resurfaces whenever I see him. And I get sick to my stomach every time he tries to act all fatherly. This was what I needed back in the day. Not now that I'm older and can fend for myself. All thanks to him,of course. And it's also because of him that it took me a long time to open up to Risa. He taught me to not show any emotion and not speak of them that it almost cost me my relationship with the girl I care about. But I survived.

"So...What do you want that you broke into my house?"

"I didn't break in. I used the spare key."

"You still came in while I wasn't here."

"Satoshi."

"Just tell me what you want."

I heard my father's footsteps get closer as I opened the frig and looked to see what I could make today. He pulled the chair back and sat at the kitchen table. He sighed and I looked over at him.

"I need you to take care of someone."

"That's what hitmen are for."

"That's not what I meant and you know that."

"Sure," I replied as I began to chop up some bell peppers.

He sighed again,"Do you remember your cousin?"

"Cousin?"

"You only have one cousin. Can't believe that you forgot him."

I stood there as I picked up the peppers that I just chopped and put them in a big bowl. As I started on the onions the face of a boy popped up into my head. He had spiky hair that was two shades of blue-his bangs and some spikes of his hair were a bluish-grey while the rest of his hair was a dark navy blue. He had two blue face-painted sideways triangles on both sides of his cheeks. And he had piercing red eyes.

Kai Hikari. Well,Hiwatari now. Turned out that I wasn't the supposed last heir of the Hikari family. My mother had had an older sister,Shimizu Hikari,who was pregnant. She left the family shortly after finding out because she didn't want her child to be dragged into the curse. After leaving and only still being in the early stages of her pregnancy Aunt Shimizu met Susumu Hiwatari,my father's younger brother. They had feelings for each other and Uncle Susumu accepted the fact that she carried someone else's child. Soon after Kai was born Uncle Susumu signed as Kai's father and got married to my aunt.

"Kai..."

"Yes. That's him."

"What about Kai? Did something happen to him?"

My father looked at me. A look of surprise was all over his face. Of course it would be. Whenever something would happen between me and him I'd go to Kai for reassurance. Even though Kai had his own problems that he wouldn't tell me about he'd been there for me. He was the only family member that I really cared for. He was the only family member I had left to care for.

"First,calm down. Getting upset isn't going to help."

My father looked over at my hand. My eyes followed and I noticed that I had stabbed the shit out of the piece of chicken breast that I had been cutting. I let go and took a couple of deep breaths.

"What happened?"

"Kai is an orphan."

"An...orphan?"

"Yes."

I rushed over to where my father was and grabbed him by his shirt. "What. Happened."

"Satoshi! Calm down!" He got up and took my hands off of him. He sat me down where he just was and got down on his knee. He looked at me with sorrow in his eyes. "Kai's parents were murdered."

My heart stopped. I felt like the world had just fell on top of me and crushed me. They were murdered. My aunt and uncle were killed...

"How do you know they were murdered?"

"The crime scene was gruesome. The three of them were at home when they were attacked. Shimizu was raped and beaten as well. What killed her was the bullet that was shot through her temple. And Susumu had his throat slashed. From what the police there told me,Susumu was killed after Shimizu."

"What about Kai?" I yelled. I wanted to know how he was doing.

"Kai was beaten as well. But not so bad. He defended himself. And because of that...he was forced to watch everything..."

"Wha..."

I can't believe this. Those bastards...Why did they make him watch all of that? Why did all of this happen in the first place? What did they ever do to deserve this?

"He's really shaken up. It took him a while to calm down before he could tell them what happened. The only reason Kai lived was because one of the neighbors heard a gunshot and called the police. They must've escaped when they heard the sirens coming."

"So those bastards are out of the loose?" I slammed my fist on the table hard. A sharp pain went through my hand,but I didn't give a shit. The fact that these criminals did what they did and scrammed pissed me off. No. What pissed me off was that the police in the area blew their cover by sounding those damn sirens! If I were in charge I would've gone quickly and quietly to Kai's home with my men. "They let them get away..."

My father hung his head. He was trembling. This hurt him more than it could hurt me. His brother was just killed. And I'm taking my anger out on him.

"Dad..."

He held his hand up,"Don't. This whole thing has taken a great toll on me. I don't need you to voice out your sympathy."

I flinched. There he goes again. Even though my father was trying to get along with me again there were those times when he would revert back to his old self. And those times would involve his emotions. Like now. And it bothered me.

Why is it bothering me? This man tormented me for so long. Why would it bother me that he doesn't want to unload his feelings to me?

"I wanted to ask you if Kai could come live here with you. Since the murderers are still at large he can't live by himself. That and whenever an adult male comes near him he loses it. You're both close in age so he should be comfortable around you. And from what I remember the two of you were very close when you were younger."

We were siamese twins is more like it. Attached to the hip. Whenever we got together there was no separating us. And if anyone tried there hand at that,we'd kick and scream like the world was ending. Only to laugh and pick at each other about crying like babies the next time we saw each other.

But...That was back then. It had been years since the last time I saw Kai. All because of my father's obsession with getting Dark and the Hikari artworks. Also I don't know how much he's changed. When we were younger he was already a bit cold and distant. It could've grown within all these years. And with what just happened to him he might be closed off to the world. Even to me. I shook my head and brought my hands up to my temples to rub them. No. None of that mattered right now. Kai needs me. He needs someone who he can trust. Someone who was there for him before any of these stuff happened.

I turned towards my father,"Okay. Being Kai here. I'll take care of him and protect him from the bastards that did all this."

"Good. Because on he's way to the airport as we speak."

"Wait! What!" I glared at my father as he stood up and walked over to my kitchen. "You were going to bring him here weither I said 'yes' or 'no',weren't you?"

He picked up the bowl of vegetables that I had just cut up and put it in the frig. And do the same with the chicken breast I stabbed. "Yes,I was. But it wouldn't have mattered because you would've accepted him anyway."

He was right. I cared about Kai too much to just turn him away if he was on my doorstep. Damn! This man knew him to well.

Without another word my father walked towards the door. He opened it and looked back at me. "Aren't you coming?"

I nodded and ran after him as he left my apartment.

Kai's flight from Tokyo had been delayed because of rainy weather. So my father and I had to wait an extra hour. A whole hour of worrying if Kai was calm or losing it because of all the men in the plane with him. From the moment I got to the airport and heard that we had to wait for the plane I kept pacing back and forth. My father kept trying to lighten up the mood by cracking jokes about how the airport was going to have to redo the floor because I was bound to pace a groove into it. Which wasn't helping my nervous. It was pissing me off. Making me pace even more to try and block him out. Still wasn't working though.

When I finally looked at the time,they announced the plane had landed and where to meet it's passengers. I all but ran to there. Everything that happened to Kai and how he must be feeling made me just want to get to him fast. My father got to the gate huffing and trying to catch his breath. Couldn't blame him. Since Krad left I've been in the best shape ever.

"Satoshi. There he is!"

I whipped around. There he was. Kai was being walked out with two women at each side. Good. He didn't freak out then. I looked at him closer and froze. He didn't look like the Kai I once knew. Kai was grown up. Literary. He had to be at least 5'6. Leaving me at a measly 5'2. And unlike me,who was skinny and all,Kai had so type of muscle. I could see that he was toned from the way his black tee fit him. He was wearing black sweatpants that hung low and revealed a bit of his grey boxers. His sneakers were also black. Though what got me was his face. Kai had from two blue triangles tattooed on his left cheek. Probably the same two on his right cheek but I couldn't see them on a count of he had a gauze on it. He had the same treatment done to his left eye. A bandage was wrapped around his head and over his eye. Under his visible eye I could see loads of bags. He must've not been able to sleep at all.

"Kai..."

His head shot up and looked at me. Kai's eyes were wide just like that of a deer caught in headlights. With a shaky hand he brought it up to his shirt and fisted it over where his heart was. He dropped the bag that he was holding and made his way towards me. Each step he took was shaky. Not wanting him to trip I walked over and met him half way. God,he really did look like a wreak. We stood in front of each other until he wrapped his arms around me. He was now trembling. This was really serious.

"Sato...shi..."

His voice changed. It was a bit deeper than mine. And hoarse. From all the screaming he did when his parents were killed. And when he lost it with the adults. God,why? This isn't how Kai is supposed to be. All broken and trembling like a little kid. I moved back a little bit and brought my hands up to rest on his cheek. "You remembered."

He nodded.

"Kai...I'm going to take care of you. I'm going to make sure that nothing happens to you. That you're safe and sound. And I'm going to find the bastards that did this. Okay?" Tears started rolling down my face. The same thing happening to Kai. "I won't let anything happen to you. I won't let anyone hurt you. Okay,Kai?"

Kai just nodded again. His eyes looked so lifeless. His tears streaming down his cheeks made it even worse. Because even though he was so close,his mind and soul was far from here.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah,I don't know if I did good on this one. I had to redo this chapter a lot of times cuz I kept putting 3rd POV in stead of 1st POV. XD And it's been a while since I did 1st POV cuz my most recent fic was 3rd POV. I felt like I was a bit rusty in this chapter. And yes,I knw I made Satoshi straight. So what! I happen to think him and Risa make a nice couple. But don't be alarmed,I still like him gay,too. XD Anyway,there was a lot of OOCness in here. But that's how I wanted it to be. So yeah. Thanks for reading. Next chappy coming up soon!
