Daisuke felt as though his body was floating, yet he could feel cool and smooth stone beneath him. He was in a quiet, dim place, surrounded by luscious plant life. Trees towered above, blocking out any means of light in this place. His mind was blissfully blank, and he didn't much mind that fact. This was the first time in months he had truly felt at ease.

'Sleep boy.'

The voice, he didn't know from who or where it came, but the offer sounded to good to pass up. Slowly his body took over, musceles relaxing and his breath evening. His mind went blank, and all he could notice was the warm and flowery breeze gently wafting over him and that soothing voice lulling him back to the dream world.

'Good boy. Just stay here and dream. Don't think now, just be at ease.'

Dimitri smiled to himself as he watched the red-head drift into a sound sleep, unaware of the power controlling him. This was going to go smoothly, as the boy was unassuming as to what he was doing, and if Dark behaved as he thought he would behave, then things would be settled quickly. Surely Krad would understand what to do without everything spelled out to him. Slowly gliding with gentle steps away from the resting Niwa, the kami of Earth reached his makeshift throne of plants and stone. Soon he would return to his rightful place, among his woodland subjects as their gentle protector. Shuddering, he didn't even want to imagine what the humans were capable of doing to his beloved nature without him to guard it.

Clenching his fist tightly, he let his mind come back to the matter at hand. With this, human, trapped along with him, it was a small matter of convincing both of the others to bring the last Hikari to him. The information he received from the tamer informed him of this Satoshi's affection for him, and how Krad would keep the Niwa alive in order to keep Satoshi happy. Such a wonderfully twisted scenario he was painting, his return would prove to be most amusing. With a lazy wave of his hand, he was able to listen outside of his prison and hear the chaos caused by the Niwa's disappearance.

"Daisuke! What the hell?" Dark's voice was filled with agony, as he rushed past Krad, who watched in surprise as the BrokenFlower glowed and hummed slightly. Daisuke's form slowly faded, turning into nothing before their very eyes. Dark attempted to hold the boy to his chest, grabbing at thin air in desperation. "No! Daisuke!" His voice echoed in the illuminated room, the misery obvious in the distraught thief.

Carefully, Krad stepped closer to the vase, inspecting it with curiosity. Had the BrokenFlower awakened? How could that have happened? Only the Hikari had the ability to release the kami's power…

'Bring me the Hikari child,' Dimtri's voice filled the minds of both confused angels.

"Give Daiske back!"

'I will trade this boy for the child I seek.'

Krad stood in concentration. He could personally care less about what became of the other two, anything this entity had in store for them was welcome as long as his everything was safe. But then again, what would he think of this? Growling in frustration as he realized how his Satoshi-sama would react to this information. Against his own will he gave in to Dark's desperate pleas.

"Dark, come back to Satoshi's before the night is up." Krad flew off, wasting no time to rush back to his everything. He refused to bring the vase along with him, in case the same trick was pulled again. He could only hope that whatever was in store for his everything he could protect him from. Ariving home, he gently landed and walked up to the room of his still sleeping tamer.

His chest rose and fell with each even and shallow breath. The cold he had was shown in the way he sniffled on each intake of air. No, Satoshi wasn't ready for any fighting, and he would need rest to recover, but he would never forgive himself or Krad if anything he didn't do anything to save that Niwa brat. Narrowing his eyes, he sat beside the blue haired boy, letting a hand rest gently on his head and tangle in the soft locks. Looking toward the room's only window, he watched the night sky for the familiar darkness amongst the stars.
