What It Is To Be Wanted

-~\/~-

"I refuse to let you go with just those two Japanese boys."

"I'm with Draco on this one, Harry. We can't let you go alone."

"Look, I can take care of myself!"

"They have a fair point, though."

Harry glared around at his friends. He called a small get together to let them know about the meeting with Voldemort so they could cover. "Who the hell's going to cover us if all of you are coming?!"

"Seamus and I can stay, no problem," Dean volunteered.

"And I'll stay to keep Riku and Risa busy," Hermione added.

"I'll stay as well," Neville added quietly.

Harry groaned. "I seriously doubt that Tom was planning on more than just the three of us-"

"The Dark Lord knows how protective we are of you," Draco cut in. "It wouldn't surprise me if he's already made preparations."

"We're not going to let you leave us behind, mate," Ron offered.

"And if you try it, we'll get you back later," Ginny threatened.

"It's only three extra people. What's the harm in it?" Seamus threw in his two cents.

"Fine," Harry gave in. "Draco, Ron, and Ginny will accompany us."

"Perfect." Draco smirked triumphantly while Ginny and Ron traded high-fives.

-~/\~-

"Aren't we going to get into trouble?" Satoshi asked as he and Draco met up with the group of Gryffindors in front of the main doors.

"Only if we get caught," Ron replied.

Harry rolled his eyes. "Shut up and follow me."

Satoshi and Daisuke fell in behind the Boy Who Lived. Neither had any clue where they were going - no one had told them - all Harry would say was that it was a surprise that they would probably like.

Harry picked up a good-sized stone and threw it at the wild tree that was called the Whomping Willow. When the tree froze, he led the way between the branches and down through a hole that was cut into the base of the tree. The hole became an underground passage and, once certain the lights wouldn't be seen from outside, the group of students lit their wands, then continued on.

The secret passage let out in a ramshackle, old building. "This is the Shrieking Shack," Ron volunteered while Harry and Draco searched for something. "Once we find the portkey, we can finally get to where we're headed."

"Got it!" Harry motioned to a dusty, chewed-on boot.

"It actually looks like it belongs here, too. He sent someone competent to plant it, for once," Ginny mentioned as they all gathered around the boot, hands outstretched over it.

Harry shot the youngest Weasley a quick smile before saying, "On three, then. One...two...three!"

The six students appeared in a beautiful garden lit up only by the light of the nearly full moon. Every one of them looked around in awe. "Stunning," Satoshi murmured.

"I'm glad you approve," a voice spoke before a tall form seemed to materialize out of the shadows from a nearby tree and a cloud covered the moon.

Harry's face broke out into a smile. "Tom!" he called, running up to the man and hugging him tightly.

"So this is Harry's lover," Daisuke whispered to Satoshi. The blue-haired teen nodded seriously, eyeing the shadowy newcomer warily.

Harry pulled away from the man. "Where are they?"

"Late, apparently," Tom replied, glancing behind himself.

"Some light would have been useful," a cold voice offered as a new form stepped around some tall bushes.

"Krad?" Satoshi whispered, gripping Daisuke's arm tightly.

Daisuke's eyes narrowed and his wand-tip lit up brightly when he spoke the Light Charm.

The group in the small clearing suddenly became visible and Krad's eyes danced with cruel delight. "Niwa, Satoshi, what a pleasure," he purred. The English wizards and witch stepped back out of the way, eyeing the meeting warily.

A dark form fell from the sky, getting between Krad and the two Japanese boys. "What are you doing here, Krad?"

"I just wanted to see the show," Krad taunted.

"I'll perform a private showing tonight, just for you, if you don't piss off!" Dark spat, black wings flaring out behind him dangerously.

"Dark?" Daisuke said in a voice barely above a whisper. Satoshi's hand fell away from the redhead's arm as he, too, stared at the man they'd thought gone for good.

The black-winged man turned slowly, gaze hooded. "It's been a while, Daisuke, Satoshi."

Daisuke let out a cry of pure joy and dashed into the waiting arms of his other self, tears filling his eyes. "I thought I'd never see you again..."

Dark relaxed and hugged the teen tightly. He didn't voice his own fears, but he didn't really need to. Daisuke knew him as well as he knew himself.

"How sweet," Krad cooed patronizingly as he danced around the two reunited thieves to get to the watching teen on their other side. "Hello, Satoshi."

"Leave Satoshi alone, you fucker!" Daisuke shouted, pulling away from Dark to give Krad a looked filled with venom. "In fact, why don't you go back to hell, where you belong!"

Krad sent the red-haired teen a wounded look. "How cruel. All I wanted was to say hello to Satoshi."

Satoshi stepped forward and got in Krad's face. "I want nothing to do with you." Then he stalked over to Dark. "It has been a while."

Dark's lips twitched. "Retired from police work yet, Commander?"

Satoshi smirked. "I did, but I'll be glad to return to trying to put you into jail for life."

The two supposed enemies stared at one another for a long, tense moment - during which Daisuke just shook his head in hopeless amusement and the English wizards and witch watching on prepared themselves to stop any trouble - before Dark burst out into laughter and Satoshi smiled properly. "I look forward to it," Dark informed Satoshi.

Daisuke glanced over at where his school friends and Tom stood, most of them hiding relieved smiles. "How long until we have to go back?"

"However long you'd like," Harry replied with a kind smile. "The others are covering for us."

"Dark," Tom called. He waited until he had the purple-haired man's attention before continuing, "I'll be in my study whenever those two are ready to go back." Dark nodded his understanding, so Tom led the English students away.

Dark grinned back at Daisuke and Satoshi. "Let's sit on that bench over there. Tell me everything that I've missed."

Krad took up a position in the tree above where the three sat and listened in as Daisuke related all that had happened since the episode with the Black Wings. The blonde man watched his silent other self. Satoshi hadn't changed much over the years, though the smile he'd allowed earlier told Krad that the teen had learned to allow at least some of his emotions through.

Satoshi glanced up and blue locked with gold for a long moment. Then Krad jumped up into the air above the tree and flew towards the uncovered moon. Satoshi glanced back at Daisuke and Dark and found that both were watching him.

"Go on," Daisuke finally suggested. "I know you can hold your own against him if need be."

Satoshi nodded, then stood and forced his own wings out. Without another word to his best friend and Dark, he took off into the sky and after his flying other self. "Krad!"

Krad stopped and watched as Satoshi flew up to him. "When did you get wings?"

Satoshi shrugged. "After you left. Both Daisuke and I have them."

"Interesting." Krad glanced back down at where Daisuke and Dark had returned to talking. "I'm surprised they let you up here alone."

"Both Dai and I are certain I can take care of myself," Satoshi replied coldly. "Even against you."

Krad sighed. "My fight is with Dark, not you or Niwa."

"That's not how it seemed three years ago," Satoshi shot back nastily.

Krad's eyes narrowed. "Three years ago you housed my soul and Niwa housed Dark's. Niwa was my enemy and you were just a tool."

"Dai and I are both on Dark's side, you know," Satoshi pointed out.

"You two have no place in our age-old war, Satoshi," Krad sighed, glancing up at the moon.

"We've been a part of this stupid war between you two since you and Dark awoke within us! Don't you go throwing us to one side when we no longer share our bodies with you!" Satoshi shouted at his other self.

Krad moved faster than Satoshi could react and grabbed the teen around the throat. "Do you want me to kill you, then?" he hissed.

A shock of light hit Krad's stomach and he pulled away from Satoshi. The blue-haired teen kept his wand aimed at the blonde while he massaged his throat. "I dare you to try."

Krad was eyeing Satoshi's wand curiously. "What is that thing?"

"It's a wand," Daisuke offered, stopping next to Satoshi. "You okay?"

"I'm fine," Satoshi assured his friend as he grabbed Dark's arm. "You don't need to attack him, Dark."

The black-winged man scowled at the blue-winged teen. "Someone needs to put him in his place!"

"I think Satoshi's already done that, Dark," Daisuke pointed out with a faint smile, nodding to where Krad was still staring at Satoshi's wand.

Dark blinked a few times, then frowned. "What's a 'wand' do?"

"You've never heard of witches or wizards?" Krad asked his antithesis with a touch of surprise, even as he continued watching Satoshi's wand.

"Well, yeah, but..." Dark's eyes widened in surprise. "You're training to shoot lights at one another?!"

Daisuke cracked up while Satoshi lowered his wand with a disbelieving look. "Where do you come up with these things?!"

"Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters spend hours on end standing in the garden and shooting lights at one another," Dark replied with an annoyed look.

"Has he always been this dull?" Satoshi asked Daisuke, which sent the red-haired teen into renewed gales of laughter.

"Yes," Krad volunteered.

"You bastard!"

Satoshi laughed at the look on Dark's face, surprising the two ancient spirits into staring at him. Daisuke grinned at his friend.

"I'll be damned," Krad whispered to himself. "He has changed...."

-~/\~-

"I didn't know Satoshi and Daisuke had wings!" Ginny cried as she, the other Hogwarts students, and the Dark Lord all stared out the window at the four airborne figures.

"What do you know..." Voldemort murmured.

"I think we need to learn a bit more about those two," Ron offered.

"Are you willing to bare your own soul to them in return?" Draco shot back. "Because I know that Hiwatari, at least, isn't going to willingly tell you anything without some sort of compensation."

"Daisuke won't be so stingy," Ron grumbled in reply.

"Actually, he'll probably be just as careful with his secrets as Satoshi," Harry whispered. "He hides his caution behind a carefree mask, but it's there."

"I'd noticed that, actually," Draco agreed. "You're becoming more and more observant, Potter. Well done."

Harry rolled his eyes, a smile touching his lips. "Thank you, Malfoy."

"Why can't you two ever call each other by your first names?" Ron complained.

"Because they like being difficult," Ginny offered with a touch of amusement.

"Argh."

-~/\~-

"So why are you two with Voldemort, anyway?" Satoshi asked while the four winged men rested in one of the trees in the garden after they'd come to a sort of peace.

"Because Voldemort found us unconscious on the edge of the estate and offered us a safe place to stay," Krad answered.

"We didn't really know where else we could go, so we took his offer," Dark agreed.

"You could have come to find us," Daisuke pointed out softly, eyes shining with hurt.

"That idiot," Krad replied, jerking his thumb in Dark's direction. "Thought that you'd be too busy or something for him to re-enter your life. As for myself, I know when I'm not wanted."

"You are an idiot," Satoshi informed Dark.

"Satoshi!" Daisuke reached over, desperately trying to get his best friend to shut up.

Satoshi dodged the other teen's arms. "He's been absolutely impossible to live with after you left."

Dark smiled at Daisuke as the teen buried a blushing face in his hands. "And what of Riku?"

"Well, you see-"

"Get over here, you bastard!" Daisuke proceeded to chase a laughing Satoshi around above the tree while Dark and Krad watched them with smiles.

"Do you have any clue what's going on?" Dark asked Krad.

Krad snorted. "I'd guess that Daisuke's feelings don't lie exclusively with that Harada twin."

Dark blinked a few times at Krad, then shouted, "So who are you dating, Daisuke?"

Daisuke froze and looked down at Dark blankly. "Riku."

"I think he means who else are you dating, Dai," Satoshi teased, floating next to the seemingly emotionless redhead.

Krad sniggered from behind Dark. "Exactly."

Daisuke blinked a few times, then spun in the air and crushed his lips to Satoshi's.

Both Dark and Krad were left speechless as Satoshi wrapped his arms around Daisuke.

Then, Dark jumped down from the tree and walked back towards the manor, wings drooping.

"Dark!" Daisuke made to go after the purple-haired man, but Krad intercepted him, holding the red-winged teen against his chest to keep him from going anywhere. "Let me go, Krad!"

Krad spoke as Satoshi flew over to them. "Give Dark his time alone, Niwa."

"I think Dark was hoping for a different answer," Satoshi whispered as he floated next to his other half and his friend.

Krad nodded. "He's hurting, let him be by himself for a while."

"But..." Daisuke watched Dark disappear within the manor. A single tear made its way down his cheek.

"Oh, Dai..." Satoshi sighed, reaching over to run a hand through the messy red hair.

Krad hugged Daisuke gently and traded a worried look with Satoshi. "This will all solve itself just fine if you wait a bit."

Daisuke wiped at his eyes and tugged away from the blonde. "Why do you care? You hate Dark and me."

Krad frowned. "I do not hate you, Niwa. Dark is my only enemy."

"So why did you stop Dai from going after him?" Satoshi asked suspiciously.

Krad shrugged. "I know what it's like to be unwanted." He turned his back on the surprised teens. "Let's go inform Voldemort that you can go home now. There's no point in you just staying to keep me company."

Satoshi and Daisuke joined hands and followed the white-winged man into the manor.
