Kagome scowled as she entered Satoshi's apartment, eyes squinting in distaste. Satoshi cleared his throat as she turned around, knowing what she was about to say.
"I've been busy" he stated but Kagome didn't seem to believe him completely as she once again placed her hands on her hips. She narrowed her eyes even more, debating whether to believe him or not. Finding his excuse reasonable (for he had hardly ever left her after the 'incident'), she dropped her arms to her sides and sighed. She would let the subject rest for now.
...if you want to...
Looking around the room one last time, she leaned over and picked up a stray sock with her fingers and scrutinized it with her gaze. Satoshi watched, a blank expression on his face.
"Dirty" he informed and she glanced at him before throwing it in a basket on the other side of the room. "And so begins the weekly ritual of cleaning my room" Satoshi sighed in his mind.
----------------------------
A sudden weight on his shoulder alerted Satoshi of the sleeping girl beside him and he spared her a quick glance before exiting out of the windows on his laptop and opening a new one.
"Username" appeared on the screen and he quickly typed in the word 'Ph4n10m' before pressing 'enter'. The word "Password" then followed, a white rectangle with a blinking line telling him to punch it in. The timer in the upper lefthand corner reminded him of how much time remained before the password would once again change.
'Kr46Z134'
Words began to fly across the screen and Satoshi glanced at them all, making sure nothing had gone wrong.
...I can save you...

Satoshi followed the instruction and another screen popped up. He allowed a small smile to appear on his face as he typed a few more words.
Found it.
...I can take you...
--------------------------------
Krad gazed at the black-haired girl on the couch one last time before creaking the window open, his cold facade back in place. He jumped out of the apartment building and spread his white wings, flapping them once to stop his descent, and then another time to push him up and forward, towards a certain theif's home.
He would save her, even if it cost him his life.
...away from here...
--------------------------------
The moment the angel left the house, Kagome slowly opened her eyes and watched as he flew away, memorizing the direction he had gone. She stood up from her position on the couch and was about to leave the apartment to follow him when a beeping on the laptop made her freeze with curiosity. The blue screen began to flash, which made her even more curious, and she walked over to it. One glance made her eyes harden and her interested expression turned to one without emotion.
...so lonely inside...
She knew he had been planning something ever since she was injured, but she had never expected him to go so far.
-------------------------------
Krad landed in front of the small home and looked around. One look at his white wings made him blanch inwardly and he grudgingly gave control back to Satoshi. White stood out too much for the crime they were about to commit, and although he hated to admit it, Satoshi also had more experience with breaking locks than he did.
When the changing was complete, Satoshi took out a paperclip and swiftly unlocked the door, silently opening the main entrance and stepping inside the house. One look at the ground told him that the house was just bathing in traps and, because he knew the weakness for every single one of the and how they were triggered, had no problem moving through them unscathed.
...so busy out there...
He unlocked the last door to his left and winced when there was a loud creak that he was positive would have awakened the entire neighborhood. Not wanting to be caught quite yet, he bolted down the stairs two at a time and found himself in a room that was filled with all items from Dark's various heists. Fortunately for him, only one glowed. Satoshi raced towards it and grabbed it off of the cloth it was placed on before racing back up the stairs, crashing into someone in the process.
"Satoshi?" a tired voice mumbled and he swore under his breath, racing out the front door and down the street.
-------------------------------
...and all you wanted was somebody who cares...
"Satoshi, what are you doing?"" Daisuke shouted as he chased the other youth down the street, "Satoshi!"
"Get out the photo, Daisuke" Dark commanded, "I'll take over." Daisuke obeyed and pulled out a photo of the twins and immediately grew taller and large, black wings sprouted from his back. With one heavy flap of his wings, he shot into the sky and dove, landing in front of the fleeing teen. Satoshi was forced to stop.
"What are you going to do with the jewel, Satoshi?" Dark asked softly, already knowing the answer.
"None of your business" he replied coldly, grip on the pink sphere tightening until his knuckles turned white.
"It's for her voice, isn't it?" the theif inquired, though it sounded more like a statement.
His only response was the turning of Satoshi's head as he looked away.
"Listen, the jewel only brings misfortune. You believe it'll make everything better but-"
"Move" Satoshi commanded harshly, raising his head to reveal gold eyes.
"No, the jewel was created with death, it's not as pure as everybody makes it out to be! It's anything but pure, Satoshi, and thought you would have realized it by now."
...all you wanted was somebody to care...
"What's done is done, you can't change the past."
"It's so easy for you to say those words, isn't it, Dark?" Satoshi questioned coldly, hair growing longer. "What would you do if the only voice you could possibly stand disappeared off the face of the Earth as if it never existed?" Satoshi's features began to mature, along with his voice. "Tell me, Dark, what would you do if the only person you ever truly cared for lost the light in their eyes?" White wings began to tear at his clothing. "If you had to watch as they cried every moment they thought your back was turned?" His transformation had ended and two angels stared at eachother in a battle of wills. "What would you do, Dark? Enlighten me."
No words left the dark angel's lips and Krad sneered.
"Please, allow me to show you how I feel, Dark."
"No!" Dark exclaimed and Krad smirked.
"No? Don't make me-" Krad abruptly stopped his speech and he turned to the right and looked into the alley within the blink of an eye, an alarmed look on his face. "Kagome" he whispered.
...if you need me you know I'll be there...
The girl gazed at him, eyes cold and harsh with unbridled anger. 'I thought you were better than this' her expression all but screamed.
...oh yeah...
"I just wanted to help" he stated so softly that only she could hear. Her eyes narrowed even further.
'I don't need your help.'
"But I even got the jewel so you can wish on-" Krad's head jerked to the side as a loud slap rang out throughout the entire area.
'I can't believe you.'
Krad's eyes widened and he roughly grabbed the girl by her forearm, yanking her closer in his frustration. Why wouldn't she listen? The stubborn onna.
...if you want to...
Dark stepped forward, fearing for the girl's safety, but immediately stopped when Krad jerked away from her as if she were a hot stove.
"...gomen ne..." Krad finally whispered and Kagome's eyes softened. Dark watched in fascination as the white winged angel (whom he was positive was a devil in disguise) actually allowed the girl to touch his injured cheek with her fingertips.
...I can save you...
'Apology accepted' her action told everyone who was watching.
"Gomen ne" Krad whispered again, but louder. The girl wrapped an arm around his neck and lowered his head so that their foreheads bumped together.
'It's not your fault.'
...I can take you away from here...
Dark's mouth fell open in shock as he watched these strange occurrences, clearly not believing what his eyes told him. Krad just wasn't supposed to act like a lovesick puppy.
Kagome took the jewel from Krad's hand and stepped away, walking towards the phantom theif. She gently took one of Dark's hands in her own and placed the jewel inside of it, closing his fingers around the Shikon.
...so lonely inside so busy out there...
Dark nodded dumbly in response. How exactly did this girl get into that ice cube's heart?
She looked back at Krad and smiled comfortingly at him. Krad looked away, not wanting to gaze into her eyes at the moment. A theif hunter turned theif. How was he supposed to live through it this time?
...and all you wanted was somebody who cares...
"Gomen" he stated once again and Kagome huffed in annoyance before running towards him and tackling him to the ground. She held him down by firmly holding down his shoulders and glared straight into his golden orbs until he finally got the message.
'It. Was. Not. Your. Fault!'
"...hai, hai..." he sighed, easily sitting up. A figure finally reminded him of their audience and he stared at Dark, watching the rapidly changing expressions on the theif's face until the dark-haired angel finally decided on 'dumbstruck'.
'An expression that suits his face perfectly' he mused in his mind before standing up. He helped Kagome to her feet moments later and lifted her in to his arms. He spared Dark a quick glance, curious of what his reaction would be. Apparently, it didn't change, for a small frown of disappointment that only the girl in his arms could see appeared a split second later. Spreading his wings to their full length, he rocketed towards the sky and hovered above the city for a moment before flying off.
...please can you tell me...
Dark looked at the jewel in his hand and blinked, feeling his control over the body disappearing.
'What are you planning Daisuke?' he asked the younger male and Daisuke looked towards the direction where the couple had disappeared to.
----------------------------------
Krad looked coldly at the girl as she neared him from his perch on the arm of the couch. A hint of amusement sparkled in Kagome's eyes and Krad felt, for a rare moment, a growing sense of dread.
"What do you think you're doing, onna?" he growled questioningly, though it was more like a statement than anything.
...so I can finally see...
"It's Ka-go-me, get it right!" the girl snapped, glaring at the angel and they both froze. She gently traced her throat, a smile forming on her lips. "I can talk..." she laughed, voice hoarse from not being used for so long, "I can talk!"
A stray tear of happiness rolled down her cheek and a minute curve of his lips revealed his joy as well. Kagome saw it and tackled him in a hug, laughing and sobbing at the same time.
----------------------------------
Daisuke sat on the park bench, staring at the night sky with a facial expression akin to awe. A sudden shadow passed over him from behind and he turned to glance at the being that had decided to intrude on his silent musings only to hop to his feet and scramble backwards in surprise.
"Satoshi...?" he breathed worriedly and the blue-haired teen began to shape-shift in front of him, turning into the angel. Daisuke stepped back, but noticed that Satoshi wasn't fighting the changes in his body a single bit, but did the opposite. He allowed the transformation to take place. The muscles in Daisuke's body relaxed a small amount, but still remained tense.
...where you go when you're gone...
"What do you want with me?" Daisuke demanded but Krad said nothing in response. He recieved a slight tilt of the head to the right from the angel instead, golden eyes narrowing as if trying to probe through Daisuke's brain for answers. Dark was warning Daisuke, telling him to get a photo ready just in case, but Daisuke had a feeling that this meeting didn't have an ill intention.
"Do not think we are on good terms, theif" Krad's deep voice informed coldly as he gave a slight incline of his head. There was a flurry of feathers and then the angel was gone.
'What was that about?' Dark grumbled, nerves still fried from the experience, but Daisuke laughed.
"I think that's as close of a thanks he'll ever say to us" he said softly before slowly turning and walking back home. His mother would worry if he didn't return home soon.
'Wait, you actually helped him?' Dark exclaimed and the boy scowled in his mind.
"Yes" he replied.
'I knew it! You did something with the jewel, didn't you? Where'd you hide it? Emiko is going to kill me if she finds out we lost it!'
Daisuke rolled his eyes and ignored the theif's ranting.
Meanwhile, a single white feather drifted downwards from the sky and gently landed on the grass. A certain small creature noticed it and sniffed it before taking it in it's small paws (just for the sake of having it) with a soft 'Kyu,' chasing after it's partner a split second later.
It smelled of sakura petals and trees.
