A/N: Watch the anime before reading this otherwise I might wind up (unintentionally) spoiling stuff for you!

Does anyone understand what actually happens in the anime? I was pretty confused by the end of it…XP

BTW this fic was inspired by a pic of chibi-Dark and Krad that I drew during STAR testing so if it doesn't make any sense…well…I'm sorry! (actually, it shouldn't be making much sense anyways…;;;;; )


"Now!" Dark cried, spreading his black wings and launching himself at Krad. The blonde angel was crouched on the floor, his ruined wings still slightly spread open as he fought his host for control. His yellow, feline eyes looked up the instant Dark took flight, but was unable to move in response. Krad snarled in fury, powerless to defend himself.

Time seemed to stop as Dark dived towards the blonde angel, knowing that his final attack would end his existence, as well as Krad's, in this world.

"Daisuke." Dark called out softly to the boy in his mind.

After a moment's pause, Daisuke asked, "What is it?"

"Nothing…Never mind…" The thief said, closing his violet eyes.

"Don't forget, Dark, I am inside of you." The redhead responded, sensing his other half's sadness.

"Daisuke…"Dark whispered, grateful for the other boy's company.

Daisuke replied, "I won't forget about you either. I never will."

Dark didn't reply, but merely narrowed his eyes a little as he braced himself for the end…



Daisuke groaned, raising one arm to block out the bright sunlight from shining in his face. His head was throbbing and every muscle in his body screamed in pain from the fight with Krad. He rested his arm against his forehead and took a deep breath.

((Dark?)) He asked tentatively.

There was no response. Daisuke swallowed hard, desperately wishing that the past yesterday had all just been part of a very bad dream. In the time that they'd been together, he had begun to think of Dark as a member of his family. It felt as though he'd lost an older brother along with the phantom thief on that fateful night. He was slightly comforted by the feeling of a warm body cuddled up next to his own. He absentmindedly reached out to stroke With's soft fur, wishing Dark were here to make a silly remark or something of the sort. Daisuke's eyes snapped open when fingers came into contact with silky hair rather than fur. He stared at the figure curled up beside him and his jaw practically dropped to the floor. The sleeping figure stirred and opened one bleary eye before suddenly sitting up with a small gasp of surprise. Crimson eyes met amethyst ones as the two stared at each other, not quite knowing how they should react.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"What's wrong, Daisuke!" Emiko screamed, nearly ripping the door off its hinges as she burst into Daisuke's room. Her brown eyes were narrowed as they darted about the room, looking for any signs of a threat. She held a frying pan in one hand and looked ready to beat the brains out of anyone that dared to hurt her son. She was surprised to see Daisuke lying on the floor, tangled up in his blankets, yelling incoherently and pointing at his bed. Turning around, she was greeted by the sight of a terrified looking, six-year-old Dark sitting on the bed, clutching With tightly.

Emiko instantly dropped the frying pan and scooped the little boy into her arms while squealing, "He's sooooo cuuuuute!"

Dark let out a tiny whimper and tried to push overly affectionate woman away. His soft, purple eyes were miserable and confused as he hugged the small rabbit-like creature for comfort.

Daisuke had finally gotten over his initial shock and had managed to untangle himself from his blankets and was eyeing the little boy curiously. "What…happened?"

"I don't know." Emiko said brightly, running her fingers through Dark's long, indigo bangs, "I thought you might know.

"Dark! What happened after you used the seal?" Daisuke asked.

"…Seal…?" Dark asked, blinking in confusion.

"You know…the one you used to seal Krad with?" The redhead asked more urgently.

He was rewarded with a blank stare.

"Oooookaaaaaaaay…That…can't be good." Emiko said, starting to look slightly worried.

"Is everything all right?" Towa asked, poking her head into Daisuke's room. "I heard screamin—WAI! How CUTE!" She screamed, swiftly taking the boy from Emiko's arms. Daiki and Kousuke were quick to follow her into the room.

"Eh…Kousuke?" Daisuke's grandfather asked hesitantly, eyes growing wide at the sight of the child that Towa held. "Is that kid who I think it is…?"

"I believe…that's a miniature version of…Dark…?" Kousuke replied, looking somewhat less shocked than Daiki (not by much though).

"EH?" Daiki yelled, running over to Towa to inspect the boy.

Dark looked as though he were about to start crying. The boy whimpered and buried his face in With's fur as he tried to block out the sight of all the strangers surrounding him. He felt another person pulling him into their arms and was about to start struggling when a kind voice stopped him. His teary, amethyst eyes looked up into Daisuke's smiling face and suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity and kindness.

"Dai…suki…?" Dark mumbled, wiping his eyes and peering up at the teen.

"Close enough." Daisuke said, giving the boy a little smile. 'Now I know why With calls me Daisuki…' "We should probably discuss about this later…I don't think he wants to talk right now." He announced as Dark snuggled up against his chest, seeking comfort from the older boy.

"But…he's so cute! Must…resist…urge to hug!" Emiko said as she and Towa crowded around Daisuke. Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Emiko yelled, "I'm coming!" before the two of them ran down the stairs.

"I'm…going to…get some tea…" Daiki said, following his daughter, looking slightly dazed.

"Ah…poor Dark…" Daisuke said, brushing the little boy's bangs out of his face.

With nuzzled Dark's cheek and said, "Kyuu!" as the boy laughed and stroked the soft fur.

"Dai-chan!" came Emiko's voice from downstairs. "You're friend is here to see you!"

"So early?" Daisuke said, looking at the clock.

"He says it's urgent!" was the reply.

"Oh! Okay! I'll be down in a second!" Daisuke yelled, putting Dark down on the sofa and hastily pulling a sweater over his pajamas. "Can you keep an eye on him for me?" He asked, turning to face his dad.

"Sure." Kousuke responded, watching Daisuke running down the stairs. He sighed, then ran his fingers through his spiky, black hair as he turned around to face Dark. "Now, what am I going to with--" He stopped on mid-sentence when he realized he wasn't talking to anyone. "Uh…Dark? …Where did he run off to…?"


Daisuke was still trying to get one arm through his sweater as he ran to the door where Satoshi was waiting impatiently.

"Ah…sorry about that, Hiwatari-kun. I had…a slight issue--" Daisuke paused, suddenly noticing the disgruntled looking boy standing next to Satoshi. "Eh…Who's this?"

The little boy glared at Daisuke, his golden eyes narrowed in anger. He frowned and then went back to pouting. His long blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail and one particularly long strand hung down in front of his face.

Daisuke gaped at the blonde. "Wait…don't tell me that's--"

"Krad-chan!" Dark shouted, sprinting towards the blonde with Kousuke hard on his heels. He dived on top of the blonde, knocking him flat onto the ground. "Didja miss me?" He asked brightly.

"Not really…" Krad groaned, trying to push the other boy off of him.

"I missed you, too!" Dark replied, totally ignoring his other half's caustic remark.

Satoshi stared at the two six-year-olds for a moment before turning back to face Daisuke. "I was going to ask if the same thing had happened to you, but I suppose that's unnecessary now."

"Yeah…" Daisuke replied, sweat dropping. "That's funny, Dark was pretty depressed before…"

"I never thought Krad and Dark would ever be happy to see each other." Satoshi observed.

"Happy?" the redhead asked, glancing in Krad's direction.

"If he hasn't made an attempt to kill Dark, then I suppose he must be happy…to a certain extent." The blue haired boy said, shrugging.

Kousuke, having finally caught his breath, got up to greet Satoshi. "Yo! How's it going?" then, without waiting for an answer, he continued, "Dark and and his counterpart are two halves of a whole. Naturally, they'll be happier when they're close to each other."

The two teens stared at Daisuke's dad while the two six-year-olds ran off to do something else.

Kousuke shifted uncomfortably, "Well…the white-winged one's original goal was to have both of them merge back into one being, right?"

More staring.

"Never mind."


"Dark doesn't know what's wrong either?" Satoshi asked as Daisuke led him to his room.

"He didn't even know what I was talking about." Daisuke said, sighing. He tried to stretch out a particularly sore spot in his back as they continued up the stairs. "How do you stand it?" He asked suddenly.

"Stand what?" Satoshi asked, looking confused.

"The pain of growing Krad's wings."

"I can't. The pain is usually Krad's way of knocking me out or forcing me to relinquish control of my body. Needless to say, it's pretty effective…" The blue haired teen responded, looking away.

"Heh…The pain almost knocked me out in mid-air." Daisuke admitted, laughing awkwardly as he opened the door to his room. He stopped in mid laugh when he saw the two angels jumping up and down on his bed, laughing like the pair of maniacs. "Ah! Don't do that! Stop jumping on my bed!"

"Aw…" Dark said, stopping rather abruptly. "C'mon Krad." He said, tugging gently on the blonde angel's hand. Krad was looking considerably happier than he was before so Daisuke assumed that his dad was right about the two being happy together. As Dark and Krad passed Satoshi on the way out of Daisuke's room, Krad found Satoshi giving him an icy glare. Golden eyes looked surprised, then hurt as Satoshi turned away. He allowed himself to be dragged into the hallway by Dark as the violet haired boy searched for more ways of entertaining himself.

"That…was interesting." Daisuke said, staring after the two boys. "Augh!" He said, ruffling his hair. "Somehow, the thought of Krad jumping on my bed is really, REALLY scaring me."

"So…what are you planning to do now?" Satoshi asked, ignoring Daisuke's previous comment.

"I don't know…go shopping or something." The redhead said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"Shopping?"

"Something tells me that those two aren't going to appreciate being cooped up indoors all day. We're going to have to buy clothes that actually fit them if we want to take them anywhere." Daisuke said.

"…Wouldn't Dark already be used to sitting in the back of your mind…?" Satoshi asked.

"Actually, Dark's not the type to sit quietly in the back of my mind. He loves making sarcastic remarks, changing into me at awkward times, and arranging for dates whenever he's in control of my body." Daisuke said, making a face. "Basically, he's used to a lot of freedom."

"Ah."

"We'll go shopping after school today, okay?"

"Sure…"


A/N: Sorry if this chapter was kind of boring, I'll try to make the next one a little more…hectic XD

READ AND REVIEW! I'll try to post the picture of chibi-Dark and Krad when I get the chance
