((Daisuke-Dark))
/Sato-Krad/
'Krad-Sato'
It all began when that new artwork came to Azumano. It was a Hikari artwork, and it was called, simply, Despair. Gorgeous piece, really. Even Satoshi admired it as it was being placed inside a high security area of the museum. He knew that Dark would attempt to steal this beautiful statue. It was a very abstract piece, but it didn't fail to give you a feeling of grief when you looked at it. Even an idiot could feel the creator's grief.
'I think this is the most beautiful piece I've seen by far.' Krad admired it.
Satoshi smiled. Yes, this really was something else.
"Sir, a note just came from Dark Kaitou. It said that he'll be coming tonight, at seven." A police officer panted, out of breath from running.
Satoshi's eyes narrowed. "He's not getting this one. Tighten security, spare no expense!"
The police officer nodded and ran towards his other superiors.
It was nearly seven by the time Satoshi had finished all the preparations. It had been tiring, to say the least.
'I could catch Dark for you, if you want.' Krad suggested.
/All right, then. But wait a while, wait until he comes./ Satoshi replied.
Krad smiled smugly. He waited until seven, then Satoshi left the camera room and relinquished control to Krad.
The hunter smiled as he waited for his prey. But while waiting for Dark, it wouldn't hurt to admire the piece. Such an exquisite work of art, even for a Hikari. Suddenly, he began to feel really sleepy. Still, he couldn't remove his eyes from the artwork. So beautiful...
/Krad, what's going on?!/ Satoshi felt panic rush over him.
'I-I don't know.' Krad replied, falling. Before he could hit the ground, somebody caught him. That somebody was definitely not Dark. Krad remembered crimson eyes before drifting off to sleep.

Dark crept inside, half-expecting the blond the jump out at him and attack. Seeing that there was no attack waiting. He hurried and ran towards the artwork. It took his breath away.
"Wow." Dark managed. Then he grinned. "It doesn't matter, because you're coming home with me tonight." He was about to reach out and touch the piece when he heard a soft cough from somewhere. Almost a polite cough, just enough to alert Dark that there was someone else present. He stopped impatiently.
"Krad, you didn't need to be polite."
"I'm afraid Krad isn't awake right now."
Dark froze and turned. Well, it definitely wasn't Krad. Dark saw another angel holding a sleeping Krad on his lap and nearly fell backwards in shock. "Who are you?" Dark demanded.
"I am Shadow." He carefully put Krad on the floor, stood up and bowed, blood red wings unfurling themselves. Dark took in the beautiful sight. He had black hair and red eyes. Black hair with crimson highlights, Dark noted.
"Did creepy boy hire you?" Dark asked.
((Dark, it's not polite to call Hiwatari-kun creepy!)) Daisuke said sharply.
Dark, of course, ignored Daisuke.
"Dark Kaitou, the angel is really something. Would you mind if I take him from you?" Shadow asked, gazing at Krad.
"Angel? Oh, you mean Krad? More like demon, really." Dark snorted. "Go ahead, take him. I couldn't care less."
Shadow's eyes continued staring at Dark, so Dark returned the stare.
"Are you sure, Kaitou? Once I take away Krad, you will never have him back." Shadow said.
"Yes, I'm sure! Why the hell are you asking me? I hate Krad." Dark snapped.
"Are you sure?" Shadow seemed to be provoking Dark.
"Hell yeah I'm sure. Now, if you don't have anything to say about it, I'm taking Despair." Dark reached out to touch the artwork, but Shadow attacked him. Dark hit a sensor, and the alarms sounded. "Shit! What did you do that for?"
"I can't have you stealing me." Shadow said sourly before vanishing.
The alarms woke a certain ice demon up. Krad snapped back into consciousness.
/Krad! We must have fallen asleep!/ Satoshi yelled as Krad lunged for Dark.
'Tell me something I don't know.'
Dark quickly sidestepped, but Krad managed to hit a bit of his shoulder. Dark heard police officers and panicked. He knew he'd just have to come back for Despair another time. As he left, Shadow's words rang in his ears. He shook away his thoughts. He hated Krad. There'd be no problem at all if Shadow took Krad away. After all, if Krad was gone, then he'd have no more problems stealing the artworks. All his heists would be a piece of cake. Then he remembered Krad on Shadow's lap. That was a very disturbing image, it seemed to annoy him a lot.
((Dark, if you really disliked Krad, you wouldn't care.))
(I don't.)
((Then how come you get annoyed by the image of Krad and Shadow?))
(It's disturbing.)
((No, it's not. They actually look good together.)) Daisuke blurted out.
(Are you kidding? No, they don't!)
((Somebody's in denial.))
You mean you? Yeah, I know you're in denial about your feelings for creepy boy.
Daisuke blushed and shut up. Dark flew in Daisuke's window and retreated, letting Daisuke break the news of the blotched attempt to his mom. Emiko wasn't going to be happy, but Dark wasn't either. In fact, the only people that were happy at this point were Krad, Satoshi and Shadow. Krad and Satoshi were happy that Dark didn't get Despair, and Shadow was glad that Dark gave him Krad without a fight.
AN: So what do you think? Please review! I want at least one review before I continue.
