A (not so) normal day.

"Niwa-kun is something wrong?"

Riku was looking at Daisuke with worry in her eyes. Daisuke looked at her, and gave a smile.

"No, nothing's wrong, Riku-san. I'm just a bit tired, that's all."

"Oh, I see. By the way, since when did you start wearing a bracelet?"

They both looked at the thin silver chain around Daisuke's wrist.

"Well, I just got it yesterday."

"Okay... Well, then I'd better return to my seat. The bell is going to ring every minute now."

She walked across class, and Daisuke let out a sigh. After the teacher had begun her boring monologue, he let his mind wander to the previous night.

FLASHBACK

Dark had just stolen the item of this night, when Satoshi appeared.

"Eh, Commander, you're late. I have already taken my target." Dark taunted.

But Satoshi only smirked. "Well, I'm also about achieving my goal for tonight."

Before Dark realized what was happening, Satoshi had placed a silver bracelet on his wrist. Dark tried to remove it, but it was somehow impossible.

"What is this thing?" He asked.

"It is the 'Elf's Chains'."

"Chains? I can only see one."

"Really? I thought you would have noticed by now… There is a magical bond from it to this one. Meaning you have to be able to use magic to see it."

"Oh, yeah… It's very pretty. Like a light purple reddish rope…"

Satoshi sweat dropped as Dark admired the magical bond.

"Um, well, as I was saying, that bracelet is connected to this one."

Dark finally looked up and saw a bracelet like the one he had, on Satoshi's wrist. The only difference was that there was a single gold line in the silver.

"Oh, I get it… This is another of your 'Rip Dark out of Daisuke' plans. Haven't you learned yet that it doesn't work on us?"

"Yes I have, that is why I have used the Elf's Chains this time. These chains do not tear you apart or anything, they only keep me informed of your movements. And I can also call you to me, if I ever fell like it."

"Like a teleport? That's creepy. No wonder you were the one to think this up… Creepy boy."

Satoshi twitched a bit by the name the thief had given him. But then he turned around and left the building. "I'll see you around, Dark." Then he was gone.

END OF FLASHBACK

Daisuke had woken up the next morning with the bracelet on. He figured that this meant that no matter who was in control, Satoshi would know where they were. And that he probably also could summon Daisuke.

"Daisuke? Daisuke?!"

His thoughts were abrupt when Saehara nearly dragged him out of his seat.

"What is it?" He asked

"You've been spacing for the last hour. Come on, it is recess and I need you to help me investigate the item Dark is going to steal tonight. You know things about art and that stuff."

"What? Are we- Is Dark going on a theft again tonight?"

"Yes, the note came in this morning."

"Erm, I'm sorry, but I have some things I have to do. I can't help you today." Daisuke excused himself, and quickly left Saehara behind, as he made his way to the roof…

//Dark, why do we have to go again tonight?// Daisuke asked as soon as they were alone.

/Easy, there's no reason to be upset. It's just so I can get this stupid bracelet off./

//… You do know that I could just talk to Hiwatari-kun here at school, right?//

/Yes, but that's no fun. I'm gonna make him beg for mercy. Hahahaha…/

Daisuke sweat dropped. //You do realize that you're the one who's going to ask for a favor?//

/… That's a detail. I don't care about details… Hahaha…/

Daisuke sighed as Dark started to talk about his plans for making Satoshi suffer.

"What is he rambling about now?"

"Eh? Oh, Hiwatari-kun, you scared me... I was lost in my own thoughts..."

"Your own or Dark's?" Satoshi asked sitting down next to Daisuke

"Well, Dark's, but I'm trying to ignore him right now... He is rambling about how he can make you suffer tonight. I doubt he even noticed that you're here."

"Hm... That's so like Dark... Sometimes I'm surprised he can get away from me every night..."

"Yeah, me too, but then again, his personality chances drastically when he gets serious. But, um, I wondered why you made us wear this bracelet?" He held up his wrist.

Satoshi smirked. "Then I always know where I have you, right. And you can't run away from me..."

"What do you mean?" Daisuke was a little frightened by the way he said it. Almost with an evil possessiveness... "Dark won't like this you know… He'll do whatever he can tonight to make you remove it… Because you are the only one who can remove it, right?"

"Yes, he won't be able to remove it, and neither will you or your parents…"

He sighed "Figures… But I still don't get how it can help you to catch us?"

"Think about it. I know how he moves, and if he tries to get away, I can summon him back to me…"

"Oh… Well, you have a point there…"

"Yes. Well, I'll see you tonight, Niwa-kun." Satoshi turned around and left Daisuke with Dark, who was trying to catch his attention.

/Hey, Dai-chan! Listen to me… Daisuke!!/

//Eh? What? Since when did you start listen?//

/When Creepy boy started hitting on you…/

//Wha- What? blush He didn't hit on me! Why would he do that?!//

/Well, it is obvious he likes you… He never talks to anyone else unless he has to./

//That's because of the Dark/Krad affair, nothing else!//

/Really? And he has just chained the two of you together…/

//Well, that is also because of you…//

/Che… How can you be so naïve? Well, let's see tomorrow…/
