Chapter 1: Daisuke
A falling angel.
He is dead,
And yet he reaches the ground,
Alive.
It was a sunny day. The birds were chirping. The air was clean. All was silent except….. CRASH!
"Ha ha ha ha ha! You can't catch me Krad!"
"Aarg! Get back here!" Krad yelled. Dark just jumped over the couch and threw a pillow, hard, on to Krad's face which instantly burst into feathers.
"Ugh…," Satoshi sighed as he covered his face with his pillow. The three friends had a sleepover at Krad's house. All night, Dark and Krad had a pillow fight as Satoshi tried to sleep. "WILL YOU SHUT UP!"
"…"
"…"
"Finally," Satoshi said as his head fell on to his pillow as he tried to sleep.
"What is this? The tenth time this has happened?"
"Nope. I think it was eleven." Satoshi almost cried. Never had he been in a pitiful moment as this.
"Ow!" Satoshi cried out as Dark jumped on him.
"Oops. Was that me? My bad," Dark said as he walked off of Satoshi.
"That's it! I'm going home!" Satoshi yelled. Krad and Dark just watched as he walked to the stairs. On the third step, Satoshi fell asleep and rolled all the way to the bottom still asleep.
"DIE!" Dark screamed as he threw, yet another, pillow at Krad's face.
"Oh no! Hurry, catch him!" Feet ran to the edge of the endless white clouds they were on.
"He's asleep! He can't fly back! Hurry it up!"
I'm rolling down…..
"Almost there!"
I feel nothing under me anymore….
"Ah!" the person said as her fingers brushed at his clothes before he fell.
I'm falling.
"No….stop it….heh heh Dark mumbled in his sleep. THUMP! "WHAT!" Dark yelled as he heard it. "Oh… Guess we fell asleep. Dark went down the stairs and saw Satoshi walking towards the door near the sound.
"I'll go see what it is," he replied before he left.
'Geez, creepy boy must have woken up before. Oh well. I'll just tickle Krad,' Dark thought as he went back in to the room to bug Krad.
"Hello? Anyone out there?" Satoshi called. 'Hm?' he thought as he spotted white. "Hey! Are you okay?" Satoshi asked as he reached the person who had probably fallen from the roof. The person had bright red hair. He was dressed in a white shirt and white pants. He was barefoot and…..were those wings?
The boy opened his eyes to expose beautiful ruby red eyes. "Who are you?"
"Kraddie! Kraddie! Wakey wakey! Someone fell!" Dark yelled in a sing-song tone while he jumped on Krad.
"Get off me Dark….," Krad mumbled as he turned over and tried to get some sleep.
"But someone fell! And creepy boy went to check.'
"Then wake me when they come."
"Who are you?" the mumbled.
"Satoshi."
"Where am I?"
"In front of Krad's house."
"Where's that?"
"Here."
"Oh….," the boy said as he fell back asleep.
'Hm….this guy is weird. What was he doing on Krad's roof and what are with these wings?' Satoshi thought as he inspected the boy's wings. He pulled them but they wouldn't come off and the boy was hugging his wings as if in pain. 'What the heck… are they real or what?' Satoshi thought as he carried the boy in to Krad's house.
"Who's that?" Dark asked as Satoshi walked inside Krad's house.
"Dunno."
"Did he fall?"
"Probably."
"Oh…. What are with those wings? Are they real?" Dark asked as walked down the Satoshi.
"I don't know. I tried to take them off but they wouldn't come off."
"Then they're real!" Dark chirped.
"Shhhhh! He's sleeping!" Satoshi whispered as he walked past Dark and put the boy on a fuzzy couch, afraid that if Krad woke up, another pillow fight would start in the room but not here where it was cold.
"Brrr. It's cold. Gonna go back," Dark said as he ran up the stairs to cuddle against Krad.
When Dark was gone, Satoshi got a blanket from the end of the couch and covered the boy with it. He brushed the boy's bangs out of his eyes as he woke up.
"Hello….," the boy muttered as he rubbed his eyes.
"Hi," Satoshi replied blankly.
"Where am I?"
"I already answered that."
"I know but I've never seen this place before. Can you take me back to Central Cloud?"
"Central Cloud? Where's that? And what is with those wings?"
"Ha ha ha. You're funny. In heaven of course, and I'm an angel."
"What? This is Earth. And angels don't exist."
"Yes they do. And Earth does explain a lot of things…..," the boy said happily. "So….. I guess the dream was true…."
"Dream? What dream?"
"My dream. I was falling. But I thought I was dead."
"Dead? Aren't you already dead when you're an angel, although I still don't believe you're an angel."
"Yes. We're dead when we go to heaven but I guess we die again because I did."
"Okay….," 'This guy is weird,' Satoshi thought.
"I wonder if I have to go back…… May be I can stay here?" he asked hopefully to Satoshi.
"Why? Don't you like heaven? I heard that it was paradise."
"I like it…..but no one wants to play with me. And I heard someone talking once. They said I was half human. I tried to listen to more but I fell and they caught me. Heh heh heh. I'm really clumsy," the boy said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh. What's your name?"
"Daisuke."
Snore….snore…… SNORT SNORT snore…..
"UGH! DARK GET OFF OF ME!" Krad yelled at the top of his lungs. Dark, had obviously, slept on top of Krad. He was also snoring in Krad's ear and his drool was falling to Krad's face.
"G'mornin Krad….," Dark mumbled before he nuzzled Krad's neck. "You're so soft…," he mumbled before he fell asleep. Krad just walked away while blushing madly.
'Wonder where Sato is…..'
