(Daisuke to Dark)
((Dark to Daisuke))
/Satoshi to Krad/
/Krad to Satoshi/
/"And um, why..."/
Satoshi scowled, /"for the last time Krad, we are going to the Niwa's to help them figure out how to stop the Crystal of Addemandium from turning everyone into their animal spirit forms. I'm not going to let that happen to the city. We've been over this already five times since we've left home."/
Golden eyes narrowed, /"that was not what I was going to ask."/
/"Then what!"/ snapped Satoshi very annoyed with all his curses griping.
/"Why do I have to personally, be there?"/ Krad's mental self crossed his arms, /"as you know, Mousy and I do not play very well together."/
Known fact number one.
Satoshi pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation. /"Krad, you and Dark are the only ones who can read that particular form of ancient hieroglyphics. I have my own job to do so looking through my eyes, is not an option. And anyway that is why Niwa's mother gave us that bracelet that can separate us temporarily."/
/"I do not wish to work with Mousy,"/ Krad complained. /"Why can I not just translate the hieroglyphics on my own."/
/"Because I said so, and I'm your tamer,"/ growled Satoshi.
Krad raised an eyebrow, /"So?"/
/"So,"/ Satoshi, ground out, /"For the six time I'm not going to let everyone get turned into an animal. And this means you my dear curse have to work with The Theif weather you like it or not."/
Krad cocked his head, /"and humans getting turned in to animals bothers me why?"/
/"Because as you so conveniently seem to have forgotten you are not immune to the crystal's power."/ said Satoshi in a patronizing tone. He then smirked and added slyly, "You know, you might be more tractable if you were say er, a goldfish."
Krad scowled he did not like being patronized like some ignorant child. He also wasn't to pleased about the fish comment. As Krad opened his mouth to retort Satoshi cut him off.
/"Now quit wining you're beginning to sound like a three year old."/
Krad bristled, /"I do not!"/ he squawked indignantly.
Satoshi ignored his curse and continued. /"Anyway you and Dark might actually get along once you have to work together."/
/"That would happen when the world comes to a screeching halt and all the inhabitance fall off into space,"/ mumbled Krad petulantly.
Satoshi sighed this was going to be a very long day. He got off the bus and walked the remaining three blocks to Daisuke's home. Krad sulking quietly in the back of his head. Satoshi got to the house and rang the bell.
Daisuke answered the door. "Hello Hiwitari-Kun."
"Niwa," greeted Satoshi smiling just a bit.
Daisuke looked past Satoshi, ""Uh, where's Krad?"
Satoshi sighed again and tapped the side of his head. "He's sulking at the moment. how's Dark handling the situation?"
It was Daisuke's turn to sigh. "He's not happy and kind of being a pain. How about Krad? Other then sulking, how's he taking this?"
Satoshi deadpanned, "He's being his normal charming, bad tempered, royal pain in the ass self." then he blinked and said, "hey, that finger wasn't very polite and no I'm not going to bite you."
Daisuke chuckled softly as he imagined what Krad had done to elicit that response from the normally cool Satoshi.
Known fact number two Satoshi is a very cool character… cool…cold…unruffled.
Dark suddenly appeared behind Daisuke, "Hey Creepy Boy, where's my obnoxious other half?"
Known fact number three: Satoshi is also creepy.
Before Satoshi could tell Dark off for calling him Creepy Boy he felt a tugging sensation and Krad was standing next to him fully winged.
The blond glared at Dark who glared right back.
"Pot, kettle, black," hissed Krad.
Trying to defuse the sudden tension between the two halves, Daisuke coughed, "um, Dark why don't you show Krad that crystal we found?"
Dark frowned and pulled a clear egg shaped crystal from his pocket and reluctantly handed it to his light counterpart.
Krad glanced at the crystal and then looked at Dark incredulous. "You do not know what this is?"
Dark glared at the blond, if looks could kill Krad would have been buried six feet under. "If I knew what it was, I wouldn't be asking you, now would I?"
Krad smiled smugly, "I'm surprised with you Mousy." Twelve feet under, "even an idiot like you should know what this is." Eighteen feet under, "I mean you are a magical entity," twenty-four feet under.
Known fact number four: Dark can be an idiot..
"Well, what is it?" demanded Satoshi.
Krad shot him a dirty look for interrupting his needling of Dark. "It is a focus stone."
"Ah, yes, I've heard of them," said Satoshi with a nod.
"Daisuke beamed, "so that is what a focus stone looks like."
Dark blinked confused, "What's a focus stone?" You could almost see the gigantic bright red question mark floating above his head.
AN: a focus stone is a stone used in magic to help a person focus their energy, it is usually crystal or some other type of semi precious or precious stone. The type of stone usually depends on the person using it. Normally a person finds the stone that works the best for them and they stick to that type of stone for all magical purposes.
Krad gave him a disgusted look, "honestly Mousy, I knew that I was the half that ended up with all the brains but..."
Dark snarled, "THAT'S IT!" he jumped for Krad and the two began fighting.
Round one, ding!
Satoshi smacked his forehead. "Oh for..."
"I wondered when this was going to happen." Daisuke smiled, "luckily we planned for something like this." He turned and yelled into the house, "Mom, plan A."
"So soon?" Emiko appeared with a raised eyebrow looking surprise.
Daisuke nodded, "Yep, looks like grandpa owes me five bucks. I knew that they couldn't make it for five minutes without getting in to a fight."
"Ow, hey no pulling my hair!" yelped Krad as Dark tugged on his pony tale.
Emiko shrugged as she glanced at the two battling curses. "You might want to try and break them up, they are not going to like plan A." she said walking around the side of the house.
"Ha, you not only look like a girl but you hit like one too!" sneered Dark. Yipe, hey no lightning!"
Satoshi sighed yet again and turned to the two brawling Angels. "Hey guys! Fellows! Children! Kokuyoku! Krad! Dark! Stop fighting!"
Both curses ignored Satoshi's yell and kept fighting.
Satoshi turned back to Daisuke and shrugged.
"Alright mom, in act plan A," Daisuke couldn't hide the grin as he turned to watch the action.
Emiko came around the side of the house with a garden hose, which she turned on the combatants. After a second both angels leaptt apart squawking in righteous indignation.
"Hey, you have no right!"
"What's to big idea!"
Emiko kept the hose trained on both protesting entities. After a minute both were soaked and ready to surrender.
"Emiko! That's enough!" Dark raised his hands in defeat.
Krad turned a furious glare in Emiko's direction. "That was cold!"
Emiko smiled sweetly and raised the hose daring the blond to advance on her.
Little known fact number one, Emiko is a very scary person, Don't cross her even if you have magical powers.
Krad decided to back off unwilling to get any wetter then he already was. Considering that he and Dark both looked like they had just taken a swim fully clothed.
Satoshi snickered, /"you look like a drowned cat."/
/"Just you wait,"/ Krad growled sending him a malevolent look.
Emiko's smiled charmingly, "now that that has been settled, Dark you and Krad can get started translating those hieroglyphics." She turned off the hose and tossed it off to the side.
"Alright, might as well get this over with," agreed Dark with a sigh and started towards the house.
Satoshi noticed that Krad had an evil little smirk on his face as he walked closer to him and the two Niwa's but before he could say anything to his curse.
Krad spread his wings and gave three powerful flaps showering the three humans with dislodged water.
Dark who had realized his counterparts intentions had sidled out of range. He smirked at the expressions on Daisuke's, Satoshi's and Emiko's faces as they got drenched. "Smooth," he chuckled, "very smooth."
Krad kept a straight face as he replied, "I did not wish to track water into the house, that, would be rude."
"I bet you didn't," grumbled Satoshi glaring at his curse. "You did that on purpose, for revenge."
Krad gave his tamer an innocent look, "Me? Revenge? Now would I ever do a thing like that?"
Known fact number five: Krad can be and normally is vindictive.
Satoshi's Eyes narrowed, "Yes, you. And you don't pull off innocent very well."
"Satoshi-Sama I'm hurt."
Satoshi rolled his eyes as his curse walked past him, "I just bet you are."
Krad ignored his host as he followed Dark through the Niwa residents. At the top of the stairs Dark paused and opened a door reaching in and pulling out two towels tossing one to Krad and keeping one for himself. Krad followed Dark into a small office where a stack of scrolls awaited them on a desk.
"So here we are," said Dark gesturing dramatically. "Our work space."
Krad ignored him and began trying to towel his hair dry while muttering under his breath.
Dark cocked his head and was able to catch most of his other self's mutterings.
"Interfering woman, she got my wings wet, it is going to take forever for them to dry out and I really hate wet feathers. Scratch that, I hate getting wet period."
Dark smirked, "Krad, quit talking to yourself, I already know you're crazy, I really don't need more proof."
"Screw you Mousy," came from beneath the towel.
Dark chuckled as he walked back out, "I'm going to go change I'll be back," he said over his shoulder.
"Oh please, do not hurry," came Krad's voice still from beneath the towel.
Dark hurried into Daisuke's room and swiftly changed out of his dripping clothes. He paused staring at an outfit in curiosity. "Hmm, I wonder," he grinned and snatched up the clothes.. "Hahaha, we'll see." He hurried back to the room where he had left Krad. When he walked back in said blond was still trying to ring every drop of water from his hair. Dark's lips twitched, "I think you've gotten all the water out that you're going to, unless you get a hair drier."
Krad shot Dark a withering look, "I thought I told you not to hurry."
Dark smiled charmingly at his counterpart, "and sence when have I ever listen to you?" He held out the bundle of clothes, "here, I think these will fit."
Krad gave the offered clothes a look like they might jump from Dark's hands and attack him. "Why?"
"Well, I'm assuming that you don't want to spend the whole day in wet clothes so here." Dark smirked, "but if you really want to stay in wet clothes be my guest."
Krad scowled, "fine," he took the clothes from Dark and stalked towards the bathroom they had passed on their way to the office.
"Oh, Krad," the blond paused in the doorway, "you should hide your wings, someone might see them and that would raise a lot of unwanted questions." The hunter snorted and continued on his way.
Dark chuckled as he turned to the scrolls on the desk and began to look through them taking mental notes on the gliphs that looked interesting or promising, He was so intent on his work that he didn't hear the bathroom door open a few minutes later and footsteps approaching down the hall.
"Mousy! How the hell do you where this stuff!?"
Dark turned in surprise and blinked at his not very happy other half. The first thing that crossed his mind was wow, the second thing was he should really wear black more often. Krad was dressed in a black T-shirt with the sleeves cut off, tight black jeans and black boots with silver buckles and the worlds largest scowl, basically the same outfit that Dark was wearing minus the accessories and scowl. Such as black cloth rapped around his forearms, a black leather belt with silver studs and a black leather chocker...dog collar also with silver studs. Dark raised an eyebrow, "what's wrong with the clothes?"
Krad's eyes narrowed, "they are black."
"And?" Dark raised his other eyebrow.
"They are tight," Krad dropped his wet clothes in a pile by the door as he advanced into the room and picked up one of the scrolls that his counterpart had been looking over.
Dark shrugged, "Black is the only color of clothes that I have and as for them being tight that is the current style." He glanced at his light self from the corner of his eye. "And anyway you could do with a change of fashion." He picked up a scroll and began to study it carefully.
Known fact number six: Krad does need to get with the times.
Krad's eyebrows drew down in a frown, "Explain."
Known fact number seven: Krad has no idea of fact number six.
Dark rolled his eyes, "Oh come on, you normally look like you just walked from 18th century England."
"And what is wrong with that?" Krad set the first scroll down and picked up a second.
"Seriously," Dark set his scroll down and turned to stare at the blond. "It is the 21st century now, the clothing is different and you really should get with the picture."
Krad glowered, "I like my clothing just fine, thank you."
Dark Just snorted as he tossed the scroll off to the side and grabbed another one.
Krad could have sworn that he heard his thieving counterpart mutter, "Fashion disaster," and "fashion challenged," under his breath as he worked. Krad folded his arms and stared at the Kaito. "Pardon?"
"You heard me," said Dark not looking up from the scrolls.
Krad snorted and turned back to his work. "At least my hair does not look like I got in a fight with, oh what are those human devices called?..." He cocked his head, "oh yes, a lawnmower and, lost."
"What!" Dark's head snapped up and he stared at the blond.
"You heard me." Said Krad smugly.
"A fight! With a lawnmower! And lost!" Dark turned and put his hands on his hips as he glared at the hunter. "Says the guy who looks like a girl."
"Girl!" Krad spun to face him, "You shall suffer for that!" His hands began to glow with a bright golden light.
Dark smirked and darted forward slid his hand past the hunter's head and stole the pony tale holder that kept Krad's hair back. Then he danced back towards the door.
Golden eyes glittered, "give, it, back!"
Dark just laughed as he turned and bolted down the hall with Krad a mear foot and a half behind him.
Round two, Ding!
Mean wile Daisuke and Satoshi had been working in the living room. The two were poring over blue prints of the Museum where The Crystal of Addemandion was on display. They were also looking over the security plans and the layout of where the guards were posted. They had already changed out of their wet clothes and had gotten right to work.
Daisuke pointed to a place on the blue prints, "this looks like the easiest way to get in to the museum."
"Yes," agreed Satoshi, "but there are more guards and security alarms in this section. I think we would be better off getting in at this point." He pointed to another place on the prints.
"Hmm." Daisuke leaned in peering closer at the place that Satoshi had indicated. "Yes, I believe that that would be better and then they could go down this hall and take this flight of steps." He traced a finger along the prints as Satoshi nodded in agreement. "But their might be an even easier root, Grandpa is down stairs looking for another set of blue prints."
"I'll go check, if you don't mind," Satoshi offered.
Daisuke nodded, :thanks."
Satoshi got up and left the living room just as Emiko entered carrying a tray of cookies. She set them down and looked at her son. "How is it going?"
Daisuke grinned at his mom, "we're just going to look at those plans if Grandpa has found them but I think we have the root mostly planned out. All we need now is for Dark and Krad to translate those glyphs and we're all set."
Before Emiko could say anything Dark barreled past the living room door laughing maniacally still carrying the stolen pony tale holder.
0.2 seconds later Krad ran past yelling, "Mousy! When I catch you I'm going to incinerate you and throw your ashes in to a volcano!"
Both Niwa's blinked as they heard the front door slam as both Angels race from the house.
Daisuke blinked again, "was Krad wearing black? And was his hair down?" then he looked at his mom and sweatdropped, "and those two are never going to get along for more then five minutes, are they."
"Yes, yes and afrade not," sighed Emiko.
"Well, at least they make it interesting around here," mumbled Daisuke shaking his head.
Emiko nodded, "true."
They both heard the kitchen door open and the sound of running footsteps. Dark came careening into the living room slipped on a rug and fell flat on his back, "Owwww."
Less then a second later Krad appeared in the doorway looking quite murderous.
Dark blinked and turns his head to look at Daisuke, "Dai-Chan?"
"Yes?"
"I'm going to die, aren't I?"
"Most probably."
"Care to try and save me?"
"No not really."
"Think that creepy boy could get here in time?"
"Hiwitari-Kun isn't that fast and I don't think He is crazy enough to get between Krad and His chosen victim."
"Not even if it mint catching me?"
"Nope."
"Are you sure?"
"Quite positive."
"Damn, well it was nice knowing you." Dark layed his head back and closed his eyes.
Krad began slowly to stalk toward Dark.
"Hold it!" barked Emiko holding up her hands.
Krad paused.
"You can't kill him," said Emiko.
Krad fixed a golden gaze on her, "and why not?"
Emiko folded her arms and glared at the blond. "Because you'll get blood all over my clean carpet."
"Thanks a lot Emiko," groaned Dark from the floor.
Krad stared at her for a moment, then he turned and walked off laughing.
Dark opened one eye, "I'm still alive?"
Appears so," commented Daisuke. "Now can you please go finish your translating, we don't have very long."
"Yeah, yeah, so you keep saying." Grumbled Dark getting to his feet and brushing himself off. He turned and exited the room just as Satoshi walked back in carrying a set of rolled up blue prints under his arm.
Satoshi glanced after the departing Kaito, then back to Daisuke and Emiko. "What was all the yelling about?"
Oh you know, the usual," said Daisuke waving a hand, "Dark annoyed Krad, Krad chased Dark threatening to incinerate him and mom diverted disaster."
Satoshi nodded, "Ah, I see." He layed the prints on the table and spread them out. We better get this done before they decide to go for round..." Satoshi paused thinking, "three I think, unless we count their verbal battles."
Daisuke nodded and leaned over the blue prints.
Three hours later, the scrolls had been translated, the plans had been laid and everyone was eating dinner.
/"Satoshi-Sama, do I really have to eat this?"/
/"Krad, it would be rude not to eat Niwa's Mother's meal."/
/"But it is raw!"/
/"It's calamari, it's supposed to be raw."/
/"But I can hear it crying for help."/
Satoshi snorted, /"Krad, quit being picky and just eat it."/
The blond poked at the calamari on his plate not quite able to hide his disgusted expression. /"I think it just grabbed my chopsticks."/
Satoshi choked on the piece of Calamari he'd just swallowed and glared at his curse, /"thanks a lot for that wonderful mental picture."/
Krad began eating his rice, /"and it smells like cat food."/ Satoshi kicked the blond beneath the table. /"Ow, what was that for?"/
/"For being rude."/
/"I am still not eating it."/
/"Fine,"/ sighed Satoshi, "just eat your rice then and be silent."/
Krad demurely kept eating, /"I am eating my rice and I still think that if you drop that piece of calamari in your glass of water it will start swimming around."/ He smirked, /quite happily I might add."/
/"I thought I told you to be silent,"/ growled Satoshi glaring daggers at his curse as he choked on another piece of calamari.
/"could not resist,"/ Krad replied cheerfully.
Satoshi considered kicking the blond again but decided against it sense Krad could throw lightning. He douted that the blond would throw lightning at him but there was always that slim chance that he might. And anyway Krad was not going to be a very happy curse when he found out that he and Dark were going to still have to work together to seal the Crystal of Addemandium's power.
Mean while the four Niwa's and Dark were watching the silent exchange between the two Hicari's with varying expressions of amusement.
Dark grinned in delight as he saw his other half wince, apparently Creepy Boy had kicked him under the table. He also couldn't help but notice the disgusted expression that the hunter wore while he poked at the calamari in front of him. Dark hid a smirk "So Krad, how do you like the Calamari, you don't seam to be eating very much."
("Dark! That's mean.)
Krad shot the thief a look that probably could have frozen an erupting volcano. "It's fine, I just am not very fond of fish."
/"Technically, calamari is a squid not a fish."/
/"Satoshi-Sama..."/
/"Yes?"/
/"Shut up!"/
Emiko waved a hand, "Don't worry about it dear. You don't have to eat it if you don't like it."
Satoshi choked on his water while Krad blinked.
/"Did she just call me dear? Or do I need to go get my ears checked?"/
/"Well she obviously doesn't know you very well."/
/"Bite me brat, I can be just as sweet and charming as the thief."/
Satoshi rolled his eyes, "Eh, sure."
Krad gave his host the mental equivalent of the finger and turned his attention to Emiko and smiled charmingly. "I may not like the Calamari but everything else is quite excellent."
Both Dark and Satoshi nearly fell out of their chairs in shock. Well, actually Dark did fall out of his chair in shock.
Emiko beamed in delight, "I'm glad you like it." She began to clear the table of the dishes. "Anyway Dark won't eat a few things either."
Krad raised an eyebrow, "like?"
Emiko paused in the kitchen doorway, "canned spinach and carrots."
"They are both nasty!" came Dark's voice from the floor. "Carrots are just nasty in any form especially in cake and canned spinach looks like someone chewed it up and then spit it in the can."
This would also be the personal opinion of the Author.
Daisuke sighed, "Dark that is grose."
"But it's true!" came Dark's voice still from the floor.
Krad blinked, /"You know, I never thought about it but canned spinach does look like that. It is a crude way of putting it but true and I can not say anything about the carrots because my other half is right again./ He then shot Satoshi a look, /"and if you ever tell him that I agreed with him I will deny it./ Then Krad smirked, /"and I told you I could be charming."/
/"You just love being obstinate, don't you."/
/"It is one of my favorite pastimes and proving you wrong is the other."/
/"I thought plotting how to capture Dark was your favorite pastimes?"/
/"That to."/
Dark picked himself up off the floor and looked at his blond counterpart. "And since when are you charming? Or did Emiko slip something in your food?"
"As I told Satoshi-Sama, I can be just as charming as you Thief," sniffed Krad.
Daisuke cut Dark off before he could reply and start another fight with the blond. "Why don't we go and look at the plans for the museum."
The other three all shrugged and followed the redhead into the living room. Daisuke unrolled the blue prints and set objects on the corners to keep them from rolling back up. "Sato-Kun could you get the weapons?"
Satoshi nodded and moved to a corner and picked up several cloth wrapped objects.
Krad stared at his host, "Since when does Niwa call you Sato-Kun?"/
Dark was also staring at his host, (("Since when do you call Creepy Boy Sato-Kun?"))
Both teens ignored their curses, Satoshi walked back over to both entities and handed them each a cloth wrapped object.
Krad tugged at the cloth and pulled it away from a golden spear with a diamond head. The spear was about five and a half feet tall and the diamond seamed to glow with an inner light. While Dark was now holding two black swords with amethyst set in the pummels. The swords blades were curved like the blades of scimitars and were black as was the hilts.
"Er, Satoshi-Sama, I understand why Mousy got the swords but why did you give me a weapon? We are going home, right?"
Satoshi shook his head, "no Krad, you are going to the museum with Dark to help seal The Crystal of Addemandium's power."
AN: That's it, the Crystal of Addemandium is just going to be the crystal from now on. Addemandium is such a long name to type.
Dark would have laughed at the look on the hunter's face but for the fact he was probably wearing the same expression.
Daisuke ignored the look Dark was now giving him. "Now, the crystal is here on the second floor." He pointed at the blue prints. "It would be best if you and Krad go in here and take this flight of steps…"
Dark held up both hands, "Wo, wo, wo, hold it, hold it, I am not dragging goldylocks around the museum with me."
Krad scowled, "I work alone."
Round Three, ding!
Dark rolled his eyes and hit the hunter in the back of his legs with the flat of his sword blade. "Quit being stuck up."
"OW!" yelped Krad glaring at his other half. "Their was no need for that!"
Dark snorted, "oh, that didn't hurt, quit being such a wimp."
Krad turned to face him, "yes it did!"
"Oh come on," protested Dark, "I didn't hit you that hard."
Krad snarled and hit Dark in the shins with his spear shaft.
"Yeow! That was much harder!" yelped Dark glaring back.
The two raised their weapons and faced off ready to fight.
Daisuke sighed, "guys, come on! The sooner you get the crystal sealed the sooner you can get out of each other's company."
"Fine," snapped both in perfect unison. "Let's get this over with."
Satoshi blinked at Daisuke, "and they say I'm creepy."
"You are," said both again in perfect unison.
"Sato-Kun is not creepy and both of you are being creepy at the moment, so stop it," said Daisuke. "Now back to the museum. Dark you and Krad are going to take this flight of stairs while Sato-Kun and I will be going up this flight…"
"Hold it!" Dark raised his hands again. "You and Creepy Boy are not going, No way, no how."
Krad nodded, "for once I agree."
AN: this is probably one of the first times that this miraculous event has happened and probably the last, knowing our beloved Angels.
Satoshi folded his arms, "you two might need our help and If you leave us here we'll just follow you to the museum."
"Yes, we're going," nodded Daisuke, "you two would have to tie us up or something for us not to go."
Dark and Krad looked at each other, for the first time since they'd been separated into two entities they were thinking on the same page. Dark layed down his swords, "are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"If you are thinking what I am thinking then yes," agreed Krad leaning the spear against the wall.
Satoshi and Daisuke looked at each other completely mystified as to what the heck their curses were talking about.
Dark grinned, "then if you're thinking what I'm thinking and I'm thinking what you're thinking then I think we're thinking on the same thought."
Krad nodded in agreement, "Yes I believe so, shall we do this then?"
"Yes," Dark turn to face Daisuke. "Sorry about this Dai-Chan, but this is for your own good." He and Krad pounced on their respective tamers. After a brief scuffle Satoshi and Daisuke were tied hand and foot and gagged. Krad rose to his feet brushing his hands against his pants.
Satoshi glared at his curse, /"DAMN IT Krad! You better untie me!"/
/"I can not do that, Satoshi-Sama."/
/"You'll pay for this!"/
Krad ignored his host as did Dark.
("Dark! Untie me!)
"Now let's take a look at these plans," said Dark leaning over the blue prints. Krad joined in in his scrutiny.
"It looks like a good root," murmured Krad tracing the path with his finger.
"Well then, let's get this over with," said Dark straightening and reaching for his swords.
Krad nodded grabbing his spear on the way out. "Yes, let us go."
(/"Hey! you're not leaving us like this are you!?"/) yelled Satoshi and Daisuke together.
/"See you later Satoshi-Sama."/
(("Don't get into to much trouble while we're gone."))
/"Krad you bastard! Get back here!"/
("Dark you jerk! Untie us!")
(("Sorry Dai-Chan no can do."))
/"bye."/
The sound of the front door shutting reached the two bound tamers. Daisuke and Satoshi looked at each other and started worming their way towards the kitchen where they could hear Emiko banging around. It took them five minutes to reach the Kitchen where Towa, Emiko, Kosuke and Daichii all were.
Emiko stared in shock as Daisuke and Satoshi wormed their way into the kitchen. "What happened to you two?"
Daisuke made a muffled sound, as his grandpa reached down to untie the gag.
"THOSE JURKS! Tied us up and left us!" Yelled Daisuke as soon as the gag was removed.
Towa knelt and began to untie Satoshi. "Wow, these nots are really tight."
"I'm going to strangle him!" growled Satoshi as soon as the gag was removed. "Immortal curse or not! He's so dead when I get my hands on him!"
Meanwhile Krad and Dark were almost at the museum.
Round four: Ding.
"Ass!"
"Idiot!"
"Bastard!"
"Neanderthal!"
"Egotistical jackass!"
"And your not?"
"Jerk!"
"Pervert!"
"Frosty!"
"Narcissistic kleptomaniac!"
"Ice princess!"
"Are you calling me a girl!?"
"Well you are kind of the feminine half."
"I am not!"
"Are so!"
"Are not!"
"So!"
"Not!"
"So!"
"Not!"
"So!"
"Not!"
"Oh, look we're here, the museum."
"Huh?"
"Real intelligent response my other half."
"Fuck you!"
The two curses landed on the museum roof. Krad walked over and tried the door. "Locked."
"No kidding." Dark rolled his eyes, "you actually expected it to be open?"
Krad shrugged, "there is always that possibility."
"You can be really stupid at times, you know that?" said Dark shaking his head as he stepped past and began picking the lock. Krad huffed and opened his mouth to retort to his counterparts statement but Dark cut him off, "there, let's go."
Krad scowled and followed his thieving self into the museum, mentally calling him every dirty name he could think of in six different languages.
The two magical entities crept through the quiet museum.
"Damn it Mousy, can we move a little faster? I really would like to get this over with," growled Krad as Dark paused yet again. "Anyway this should be ruteen for you. After all, you are the Great Kaito Dark Mousy. Why are you being so slow?"
Dark shot the Hunter a black look. "It's taking so long because I'm being very careful not to set off any of the alarms. I usually don't have to worry about them because normally the police are running around setting them off for me." Dark then smirked at the blond. "To be a good thief you need a little patients my impatient other half."
Krad glowered, "Patients is one of my virtues."
Dark scoffed but before he could reply they had reached the room where the Crystal of Addimandium was on display. Dark stepped into the room with Krad right behind him, he looked around and then stared. "No way, you've got to be kidding me! That dinky little thing is the Crystal of Addimandeum! That everyone was getting so worked up about?" He pointed at a small crystal in the shape of a lotus flower, it probably could fit in the palm of his hand.
Krad shrugged, "To steal a phrase from modern times. Dynamite comes in small packages."
"Do you even know what dynamite is?" demanded Dark.
Krad shrugged again, "No not really, it just seemed appropriate."
Dark clenched his jaw, "You know you're beginning to get on my nerves. Let's just get this over with, okay."
"You have been getting on my nerves all day," growled Krad. "But you are right, let us just get this over with."
"Fine," growled Dark turning to face the crystal. "But I don't see why Dai-Chan insisted on your help this isn't going to be hard." He pulled a black feather out while Krad held up a white feather. They both opened there mouths to begin the sealing chant but the flash of light from the crystal distracted both. A glowing orb of malty colored light appeared above the crystal as Dark and Krad watched the orb it began to grow and twist taking the form of a large, not happy dragon.
Krad turned a withering gaze on his other half. "Not going to be hard, huh."
"There are times when I'm wrong," muttered Dark. "Well, what are you waiting for? Go get it."
"W-what?" Krad gave the thief an astonished look. "Why me?"
"Well," shrugged Dark, "you are the hunter. Go hunt it."
"And here I thought you were the comedic half," muttered Krad sourly.
Dark shrugged, "I try."
Before Krad could think of a retort to that he had to duck a swing of a massive clawed paw. The blond sprinted across the room and dove behind a giant stone statue of a Greek God that rocked under the impact of a second swing of the paw.
Dark launched himself into the air and flew at the dragon's head swinging his sword. He had to brake off his attack and fly in the opposite direction to avoid becoming the dragon's snack. The Kaito rolled in the air as the dragon's teath snapped closed right where he had just been less than a second before. "Krad! Get your ass out from behind that statue and help me fight this thing!" He rolled again avoiding the dragon's teeth once more.
Krad poked his head out from behind the statue and sized up the situation. Then he spread his wings and charged the dragon.
Dark dodged the teeth for a third time. As the dragon came after him for the fourth time it suddenly threw back it's head and roared in pain. Dark turned his head to see what had happened only to see that Krad had driven his spear into the dragon's shoulder.
The Dragon whipped it's head around to attack this new and painful threat, Krad released his hold on the golden spear and dodged the dragon's snapping teath. The blond launched a lightning bolt at the Dragon. The bolt of energy hit the dragon in the nose and it roared in pain and fury.
"I think you made it mad," commented Dark as the dragon tried to bite his counterpart in half.
Krad rolled his eyes as he dodged the dragon's attack. "No, you think? What ever gave you that idea?"
Dark tried flying at the dragon's head again but the dragon swung it's tale and nearly swatted the thief out of the air. While it tried to swat the hunter with it's clawed paw. Both curses dropped towards the floor dodging both teeth and claws on the way down.
"We need a plan," Muttered Dark as the two landed and turned to face the enraged dragon.
Krad ignored his other half and hurled a golden bolt of light at the dragon's head. The Dragon roared again and swung a paw creating a molti colored ark of light that raced for both curses.
Dark's eyes widened as he realized that there was no way that he could avoid the energy wave… unless, he dove behind Krad using the hunter as a shield.
The beam of light passed over the two halves, after it passed Krad stood absolutely still for a second and then turned on his counterpart. The blond grabbed the Kaito by the collar and began to shake him. "You Bastard! How dare you use me as a shield! I swear! If anything happens to meI am going to kill you! Even if I get turned into a goldfish! I will still find a way to make you suffer! Do you hear me! Suffer!"
Dark held up both hands, "relax, you aren't turning into anything. You look perfectly normal."
Krad released his grip on the Kaito's collar and scowled, "and I better not turn into anything either."
"right, then, let's do this," Dark pulled out the black feather once again as Krad grudgingly pulled out his white one. The two angels started the sealing chant. The dragon realizing what the two were up to charged mouth open and claws ready to shred. The dragon was almost upon the two curses as it prepared to attack Kaito and Hunter finished the chant and pointed their feathers at the Dragon.
The Dragon reared up on to it's hind legs and roared in fury as it began to glow with purple and gold light. It glowed brighter and brighter and then vanished. Silence filled the room after the Crystal was sealed and then Dark muttered, "I hope that I never have to face that thing again."
"Agreed," grumbled Krad turning towards the door to leave.
Dark cocked his head, "did you just actually agree with me, out loud?"
"No," growled Krad, "I would never agree with you."
"That's not what I heard," caroled Dark grinning.
"Oh, just drop it," snarled Krad stomping out of the room.
Dark trailed after his other half still grinning. The two retraiced their steps to the museum roof and took off heading for the Niwa's.
Daisuke and Satoshi waited for their curses in the living room. Both tamers were sitting on the couch with arms folded and scowls. Emiko, Kosuke, Daichii, and towa were also in the living room waiting on the angels return. They all heard the front dorr open and two voices in the hall.
Round five, Ding.
"Ass!"
"Moron!"
"Jerk!"
"Blockhead!"
"Idiot!"
"Vane Peacock!"
"You're one to talk!"
"Bastard!"
"And You're not?"
"Screw you!"
"Oh, good comeback."
"At least it was one."
"Oh, go fly in to some power lines."
"That's your job Kaito, not mine, as is flying in to windmills."
"I thought we agreed that we were never going to bring that up again."
"I don't remember agreeing to that."
"I must have hit you in the head to many times over the years then."
The two angels walked into the living room still bickering.
"Well, look who's back." Growled Satoshi glaring at his curse.
The two angels stopped fighting and turned to glare at their tamers. "Why didn't you tell us the crystal could turn in to a dragon!" They yelled together.
Daisuke, Satoshi and the others in the room all blinked in surprise. "It could?"
"Yes!" growled Dark, "it tried to eat me!"
"It tried to eat both of us," corrected Krad.
Dark waved a hand in dismissal, "If it had eaten you, it probably would have died of food poisoning."
"Thanks a lot," growled Krad. "I love you too."
Daisuke snickered at the appalled expression on Dark's face.
Krad folded his arms and scowled. "Here is the information, the crystal can form it's energy in to a very powerful dragon form, it tries to eat people that are trying to seal it, It is something that both of us hope to never face again, it is sealed and I am going home, good night." With that the blond turned and stalked from the room.
Satoshi sighed and rose to his feet, "I better go with him." He turned to face Emiko, "thank you for all your help and for dinner."
Emiko smiled, "You're quite welcome dear."
"Satoshi-Sama! Are you coming!?"
Satoshi sighed again, "I'll see you on Monday Daisuke." He turned and walked from the room. The niwas and Dark heard the front door open and then close.
"Well," commented Daisuke,"I'm glad that the crystal is sealed and everyone is safe."
"Yes, so am I," groaned Dark stretching. "but after dealing with Krad for a day, then fighting a dragon and then sealing said dragon I'm beat." He pulled off the silver bracelet on his right wrist. The Kaito's form shimmered, blurred and then vanished. (("Ahh, sleep.")) With that the thief was out for the night.
Daisuke sighed at his curse, "well, I guess I'm going to bed too." He hugged his pairence and Grandpa and then headed off for bed. The rest of the Niwa house hold followed his example.
Krad landed on Satoshi's balcony and gave control back to his host. /"Well, that was interesting."/
"so," began satoshi, "Do you think that you and Dark can get along?"
/"Has the world come to a screeching halt and all the inhabitance fallen off into space?"/
"No…"
/"Well, then there is your answer. Now, I am going to sleep"/
Satoshi felt his curse roll over in the back of his mind and go to sleep. He sighed and got ready for bed. He climed into bed and rolled over onto his side. Maybe one of these days the two halves would get along and he could spend more time with Daisuke Niwa. Some day.
As the two curses slept neither felt the strange pins and needles sensation start tingling through their bodies. The two slumbered on unaware of the changes taking place. Neither felt their bodies start to shift and change and then separate from their host. Slowly at first the two changed form and then towards dawn the change was complete. Neither guess what was in store for them when they awoke in the morning
AN: This section of the story is over! Yeah! It took me a whole semester to write this story. But don't worry, I'm writing a sequel to this story and you'll get to see what kind of animals Krad and Dark got turned into and how they get turned back… or do they? I'd love any feed back that anyone has to give. I know that the characters are kind of OOC I really tried to keep them in character but I'm not sure how well I did. I hope that the Author's Notes were funny and not to annoying. I hope that you all enjoied reading this story as much as I enjoied writing it.
