--CHAPTER 1--

Daisuke walked down the hall towards his classroom. 'Risa-san, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we can't see eachother anymore..No....Risa-san, I'm afraid that I don't love you anymore.....That won't work..Risa, I want to break up with you....--'

//Dai-chan. Why exactly are you breaking up with her?//

Daisuke sighed dejectedly. Crestfallen, he replied, /Because. She's too pushy...And...and...I think that I'm in love with someone else.../ He felt a slight blush creep to his face.

//Ooo...Who? Who is it, Dai-chan?//

/Can't tell you./

//But why?// Dark whined, anxious for an answer.

/Because. I don't want him to know./

//Yeah. Like I could REALLY tell him.// Dark replied, sarcasm edging his voice.

Daisuke sighed again. He was here..At the classroom...He pushed the door open, and walked over to Risa's desk. "E..Er....Risa..."

Risa looked up. "Hai, Daisuke-san?"

"I...I think we should break up.."

Risa, surprisingly, didn't look like she cared much. "Okay." She replied cheerfully.

"Uh...you're not mad?"

"No. I'm in love with Dark, anyway."

Daisuke blinked, and walked to his seat.

//That went well.// echoed Dark.

"I guess.." Daisuke murmured, staring at the blackboard.

--Satoshi-sama...--

-Leave me alone.-

--Why don't you just give up? You know I've won.--

-Shut up.-

--Suit yourself.--

Satoshi fought to keep his composure. He couldn't give into Krad. Not yet. Not here.

--Too late, Satoshi-sama.--
Sastoshi swore that he heard a tone of amusement in the Ice Demon's voice.

Dark lazily jumped from rooftop to rooftop. "Another job done, another free night.." He murmured under his breath. He clutched the Celestial Pendant tightly in his hands. "That's odd...he wasn't here today.." he thought aloud.

"Or so you think.." Came a voice behind him.

Dark swirled around. He smirked. "So. You did come, after all."
There Krad stood on a higher rooftop, swathed in a flowing white cloak. His figure was sillohueted in the moonlight, like some twisted angel of chaos. His golden hair blew in the wind, a few stray strands falling onto his face. "Of course I came," he replied, jumping down from his higher perch and landed next to Dark.

The fight commenced, magic blast exchanged with magic blast, thrust exchanged with parry. Whenever it seemed like one had an advantage, the other came from behind. Finally, they had eachother at the throat, poised to strike if the need presented itself.

/Dark../ Daisuke echoed, his voice wavering slightly. /Don't kill him....Hiwatari-kun../

"Shut UP, Daisuke. I'm going to kill this guy..." Dark tightened his grip on Krad's neck and Krad smirked.

"Do you really think you could kill me, Dark-chan..?" Krad grinned, choking under Dark's grasp.

"...Dark-CHAN? EXCUSE me?" Dark replied, mildly insulted.
Krad smiled evilly. "Don't you remember...?"

Dark's grasp loosened. "Of course I do..." he murmured. Then he tightened his grip again. "But that was a long time ago. It's....It's long gone...!!!"
/D...Dark..? What--/

"Nothing, Daisuke. It's nothing." He couldn't let Daisuke find out what he...what they had had before...

Krad, his hand still clasped around Dark's throat, pulled him closer. Dark fell forward, onto the golden-haired man. "Wh..What the hell..? What are you---"

Krad wouldn't let him finish as he captured the violet-haired man's lips with his own. Dark's violet eyes widened. '...Fuck.' he thought as the Ice Demon kissed him.

Krad's hands tangled in the kaitou's violet hair as he deepened the kiss. Dark, mystified for a moment, gave into the kiss and closed his eyes.

/Dark...?/

He was jerked back into reality at the sound of Daisuke's voice. He pushed Krad away and jumped off the rooftop, tearing his way through the darkness..
