Krad smiled devilishly to himself just as Dark arrived. Oh yes…He could imagine it: he would be bathed in the crimson glow of Dark's blood. Then, like a lion attacking its victim, he pounced. Dark yelped in surprise.

"Good evening, Dark." He greeted, slamming his counterpart against the wall.

"Krad, hi!" Dark greeted weakly.

Suddenly, the unmistakable shriek of a fangirl was heard.

"DARK-SAAAAAAAAN!! Would you go to the dance with me??"

Both Krad and Dark turned, Krad letting go of his victim momentarily. Risa came bounding, and Dark panicked. He knew he could beat Krad…But he'd just have to postpone the fight until he could get Risa to a safer place. He grabbed Risa and ran away, disappearing into the shadows.

Krad growled in frustration and began the wander the museum. He'd hunt Dark down…but it wouldn't hurt to enjoy the art while he was at it. He would stop every now and then to admire this painting, or to criticize that sculpture.

Riku, on the other hand, was shocked at Risa's speed. Riku was the athletic one, but it seemed that Risa had an unnatural ability to outrun her when Dark was involved. Just as she came up the stairs, she saw a shadow with wings. She jumped on it immediately and pulled her fist back to punch.

"You pervert! Where did you bring Risa?" She demanded. She stopped when she saw that the one beneath her was a blond, not Dark. He wore a huge scowl on his face, as she was sitting on top of him.

"Get off me." He snarled. "I have to find Dark."

"Sorry." She mumbled. "Are you with the police?"

"No, I'm here to murder Dark and that stupid little girl who dared to interrupt our fight." At this statement, Riku stayed where she was instead of getting off like she was about to.

"What stupid little girl? Did she look like me?" Riku asked.

"Something like you. Only less violent and more annoying. She was asking Dark to some sort of dance. Happy? Get off me." He snapped.

She pulled her fist back again, but only to have her arms held by Krad. So now they were in a deadlock: she couldn't get off unless Krad trusted her enough to let her go, and he couldn't get up unless she decided to trust him enough to let her go when she stood up.

"Let me go." Riku snapped.

"No, you get off me first."

"How am I supposed to do that when you've got my arms?"

"You'll figure it out."

Riku stayed where she was. "Fine. You're the one who's going to end up at the zoo anyway for having wings."

"Fine. You're the one who'll have a juvenile record for interfering with police."

"Fine."

"Fine."

Yet neither let go. Krad checked on his tamer, who he had placed a sleeping spell on. Nope, still sleeping like a rock.

So they sat there…and sat. Finally, Riku decided to break the silence.

"So, did Dark say yes to the invitation?" Riku asked.

"I don't know. He didn't answer."

Silence again. Riku started to think. Risa was about to gloat about how perfect her date was going to be again…just like she did a few hours ago. Suddenly, she looked alarmed, and Krad gave her a lazy but strange glance.

Flashback

"Dark-san is going to be my date, and he's so perfect, Riku!! Hey, who's gonna be your date? I bet he can't live up to Dark!!"

"Umm…" Riku didn't answer. She had broken up with Daisuke a few months ago, and she had nobody to ask now.

"No way!! You don't have a date yet!!"

"YES, I DO! I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!" Riku yelled, in a moment of hurt pride. "He's much, much better than Dark, and he's not a pervert!"

"Is he as old as Dark?"

"Yes, of course."

Risa smiled at her sister. "I'd love to meet her, Riku. Well, I'm off to ask my date."

Riku stared at Krad, and he stared back blankly. He was good-looking, and he wasn't a pervert…so far. He seemed as old as Dark, and if she wasn't wrong, he was Dark's rival of sorts.

"Will you go to the dance with me?" Riku blurted out.

Krad paused and looked at her as if she was nuts. "Are you…all right?"

"Look, I know how it sounds, but I told Risa I would bring someone better than that pervert Dark to the dance! Do this for me and I'll get off of you, and it'll give you a chance to prove you're better than Dark." Riku babbled, blushing furiously.

"…You'll get off me?"

"Yes, I promise. But only if you say yes. It's just for one night!"

"…Fine. I need to find Dark anyway."

Riku got off him, and he stood up, brushing dirt off his clothes.

"I'll meet you at Azumano High's Gym this Friday. Okay, bye!" She ran off. "Oh…and don't hurt Risa."

Krad doubted he could find the thief and the girl now. This Friday, huh? Well, it was only pretend, and he could find an opportunity to beat Dark there…Well, why not?

oOoOoOo

Friday. Riku was standing in her white dress outside the gym, waiting for Krad. She wasn't even sure he'd arrive. A flap of wings, and he was there. In a formal tuxedo.

"You came." She let out a sigh of relief.

"…Of course I did." Krad replied.

"Risa and Dark are the center of attention inside."

"Well, let's go steal it."

He offered his arm, and she took it. They entered. Dark and Risa's eyes bulged. Riku grinned. It was going to be a great night.

"I'll go get some punch." Riku whispered, leaving Krad alone. Risa hurried towards her sister.

"Well, I expect you to go on double dates with us now, Riku!" Risa squealed.

Riku paused. Was there…venom in Risa's voice? "D-Double dates?" She replied, her voice strangled.

"Yes, double dates! This ISN'T just a one-night stand, right?" Risa asked, venomously.

"O-Of course not!" Riku sweat-dropped, and panicked. Oh dear gods, how in all hell was she to ask him for another one? He'd think she had a crush on him. Which was not the case. Even though he was really polite. And good-looking. And charming. She doesn't have a crush on him.

Meanwhile, Krad and Dark were beginning to argue…again.

"She's violent." Dark said. "You're violent. You make a great team." He added sarcastically.

"You're a moron. She's an idiot. Together, you could destroy the world while trying to save it."

"Why you…"

"Are you going to attack me here Dark?" Krad taunted.

"WHY NOT?"

"FINE."

Dark lunged at Krad. Krad sidestepped. People murmured as the fight became a bit more…intense. Dark began to throw punches. Krad began to use magic.

This was one terrible, horrible, and very bad night…for Dark. And Riku. She still had to ask Krad.
