Warnings: AU. Dark x Krad. OOC-ness bound to occur. Rating may change. Lemon in future perhaps. Only watch a few episodes of the anime, check once, so forgive me if there were any mistake.
Disclaimers: Not owned by me of course, or else the anime would have Dark and Krad ended up together in bed while Satoshi and Daisuke being together instead of Riku and Daisuke in the end, not forgetting having Risa out of the anime. Original characters are mine.

Tsubasa
Chapter III

"Get out of my way." Dark warned the person in front of him as he watched the blonde leaving him further and further.

"Why should I listen to you anyway?" A big burly man with messy brown hair stared down the purple-haired with his dark black eyes and questioned dangerously. A few people standing around Dark as if he were to dare to make an attempt to strike, they would beat him up.

Dark glared back at the brown-haired, "Maybe you should learn not to offend someone who is in a very bad mood right now."

"Why you!" The older one raised his fist and prepared to launch an attack, "You cocky bastard! I'll teach you instead!"

'He's an idiot.' Dark thought as the fist came, aiming towards his face, without attempted to avoid the punch at all, 'He's not even Kai's match.'

Suddenly, a hand stretched from aside and blocked the attack without a sweat. Dark widened his eyes in slight surprise but smirked eventually.

"Had enough? It's already evening. You guys should be heading towards the hostel instead of staying around in school now." Kai frowned visibly as he pushed the fist back to its owner, "And what were you trying to do just now?"

The said guy wanted to retort but instead, he gave a snort grouchily and turned his back to them. He left with his people around him, without any word.

Watching their retreated backs, Dark grinned and turned to his sempai, "Thanks Kai! I don't know you're near-"

"What's wrong with you and Krad nowadays?" Kai sighed and rested his back on the pillar, closing his eyes, "Or should I ask what's wrong with you?"

Dark folded his arms across his chest. "Hey, it isn't me! I don't know either… He just suddenly avoids me at all cost and I can't even finish one sentence before he leaves!"

"Oh my! You're losing your touch!" The green-haired almost exclaimed loudly and dramatically, "And here I thought no one can resist your charm!"

"Urusai…" Dark groaned, "Shut up, will you?"

Kai ignored. He pushed himself off from the pillar. "I'm going to Jun's place… You want to go with me?" He asked as he inserted his hands into his pockets.

Dark shrugged, "I'm going to the same direction… I'm going to find Krad to talk! He's ignoring for days already!" He waved his hands freely above his head. 'I think I'm really losing my touch already! Don't lose your temper, Dark!' He screamed in his mind.

"Talk?" Kai grinned, "He does talk. Just that he isn't doing the same to you."

The younger one attempted to hit the sempai's head but missed. "Stop it…" Dark groaned again. Both of them picked up their bags which were left forgotten on the ground. "Oh yea, I forgot to ask… Why the hell that blonde got himself an injured hand?"

Kai shrugged, "Well, maybe he accidentally cut himself or something. Incidents do happen, am I not wrong?"

"Oh…" Dark regained his composure and began to walk towards the school gate before Kai.

"Baka… You have to go by the back gate in order to reach the hostel." Kai turned his heels to the opposite direction.

The purple-haired cursed his sudden-stupidity silently.

Krad put on the door latch. He didn't care what would happen to his roommate but he wasn't going to let that purple-haired guy near him.

Anyway, Jun-sensei did ask him to be careful not to let anyone know his secret, although Kai-sempai had already knew. 'But Kai-sempai isn't anyone. Should I tell Jun-sensei about it?' Krad thought as he placed his heavy bag on his table. He turned his back to the bed and dropped himself onto it.

"…" Suddenly, the purple-haired appeared in his head again. Krad wondered if he had gone too far, by ignoring the dark-haired, avoiding him and refusing to look at him. By right, Dark didn't do anything wrong actually. Why did he disregard him?

He sighed heavily. It was a tough week just by ignoring him. He always had to get up extra early and use the bathroom in case Dark came up and tried to talk to him. He knew now, that Dark wasn't a morning person like himself. But to avoid him to the extent that Krad had to get up early too, made himself very tired as well.

Krad knew that his blood pressure was very low the moment he got up from the bed. He would feel giddy and always having the feel to just drop to the ground and faint. But he refused himself to do so. Nevertheless, he had to admit he was very tired.

'It's his damn fault…!' His mind screamed, 'If not because of his words, I wouldn't ended up like this! I don't need his pity and he treats me like a weakling!' The blonde punched his pillow like a child who was throwing tantrum.

"…?" He paused, feeling confused. Throwing tantrum like a child? He never done that before, why was he doing that just now? And speaking about being a child, Krad wondered why he didn't have any childhood memories.

Knock. "Krad, it's me… Can you open the door? The latch is on and I don't think I can pass through this thin gap you know?" A voice from outside snapped Krad out of his world.

"Eh?" Krad got up from his bed, tired but in anticipation and walked towards the door. At least someone whom he could talk to, came at the right time.

With a turn of the doorknob, he almost scowled.

"Need my help before I go to Jun's?" Kai asked casually.

Dark snorted, "What makes you think so…?"

The older one turned the knob of the unlock door. "Because it seems that he has locked you outside." He smirked as he tried to push the door again. Nothing but a gap which no one could squeeze through. "He has put the latch on already, see that?"

Dark frowned and sighed, defeated, "Thank you…"

"You're welcome…" Kai grinned and turned towards the direction of the door. He knocked the door, "Krad, it's me… Can you open the door? The latch is on and I don't think I can pass through this thin gap you know?"

There was movement inside the room. "I'll leave the rest to you, see ya…" Kai patted the younger one's back before walking away swiftly.

The door in front of the dark-haired opened, appeared the face of the blonde looking back at him, surprised. They stared at each other for good 3 seconds before Krad frowned.

"Where's Kai-sempai?" Golden orbs were looking for a certain dark green-haired.

Now, it was Dark's turn to frown. "Since when you call him 'Kai-sempai' anyway?" It wasn't because he was jealous or anything, he was just being frustrated for being ignored for days already. However, the blonde paid no attention at his question and turned to walk away.

"Hey! I'm asking you a question here ya know?" Dark fumed and his voice raised, "Krad! What's wrong with you!" He slammed the door hard after him.

The question asked made Krad stopped on his track. What was wrong with him? He himself, had no idea. "I'm going to sleep." Krad concluded that sleep would make him forget everything for the time being. His legs brought him to the side of his bed. Furthermore, he was too tired to stan-

In a flash, Krad found himself on his bed and forced to turn to meet a pair of violet eyes above him, strong hands pinned his shoulders, hard and firm. He winced at the sudden pressure, the purple ones stared hard at the golden ones.

He widened his eyes as it was the first time he saw Dark lose his cool. Those eyes held so much frustration and confusion in them, that almost reflected how helpless he was. He thought the purple-haired might just had been playing with him but…

"Why do you want to get my attention so much?" Krad managed to break the uncomfortable silence, without revealing how panic he was at that moment.

Releasing alittle bit of his hold, Dark almost shouted, "How would I know? It's tough being like this espcially we're roommates!" He knitted his eyebrows together, trying to focus on the blonde below him. "Or just tell me what I did wrong!"

Krad replied coolly, "I just dislike you." Krad said to himself inwardly again, 'I just don't like him, that is it.'

"But that has to have reasons, right?" Dark was trying to push the blonde for reasons, any reason while his grasp unconsciously tightened again. He didn't notice his strength was too much for the blonde that it made him wince in pain.

"I… I just…" Krad cried out reluctantly as he tried to squirm his way out of that position, "I-it's hurting..."

Realizing his mistake, Dark let go of his grasp immediately and sat up. "I'm sorry!" He apologized as he waved his hand in the air in front of him, "I forgot that you are-"

"Shut up!" Krad snapped as he glared at the purple-haired, rubbing his sore shoulders at the same time, "I don't need you to keep repeating I'm physically weak and it's none of your business anyway…"

"No! I don't mean that!" Finally, everything seemed to be in place and sank into Dark's head. He shook his head and waved his hands defensively, "Krad! I'm not- GRRR!"

Dark was caught off guard and Krad took the opportunity to kick his abdominal, which earned a loud cry from the dark-haired. The blonde stood up on his feet and glared angrily, "Then kick me back!"

Landed on the floor, Dark massaged his hurt spot as he yelled, "What's wrong with you? You know you can't beat me! I know you can't beat me!" …because he wasn't what the others thought he was.

"Don't underestimate me!" Krad shouted as loud as his roommate did, "If you aren't pitying me, then fight back! I've heard you the other time on the first day and I tell you what, I don't need your… p-pity…" His voice trailed off.

"…Krad?" Dark stared at the golden orbs which slowly disappearing behind those eyelids.

He caught Krad easily and swiftly in his arms before the latter hit himself onto the ground. All came unexpectedly. He shook the half-unconscious blonde slightly. "Hey…" Dark's voice became softer, "Are you alright? I warn you not to faint on me this time or else I have to carry you to Jun's again…"

"Hnn… Sleepy..." Krad groaned as he massaged his temple.

Dark half-grumbled, "So you're gonna sleep on me? You think I'm not sleepy too?"

"Not that I want to..." Krad began to get out of the arms slowly when the arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him back. "What...?"

"Close your eyes and sleep you ass..." Dark sighed, refused to let go, "You have low blood pressure and you still actually wake up much early than I do, just to avoid me! Are you too much?"

'He smells nice... like lavender...' The blonde lifted his head slightly to look at the dark-haired with his half-lidded eyes while shifting to a comfortable position, "You were awake already? I thought you aren't a morning person..."

"And I thought you aren't too. I have no idea what I did wrong but I think you've mistaken me! I don't look down on you, I just thought to be more caring and concern as a friend or at least, as a roommate ya know?" Dark looked down, wanting to meet those golden eyes. Instead, a pretty sleeping face greeted him.

Staring at him, Dark couldn't help but wanting to bend down and touch the pair the lips with his own. But he quickly shook the idea away, afraid that the blonde would wake up at the wrong time and he would start ignoring him again, which was indeed, a hell.

But the Krad who was sleeping in his arms right now, breathing slowly, was so different from the Krad who just ignored him for days.

Dark brushed a strand of hair away from Krad's face. Unconsciously, the corner of his lips twitched and finally, a grin appeared. "How can you let your guard down like this?" He said to himself rather than to his sleeping roommate, "What if someone finds out about your secret?"

He only received the soft breathing from the blonde as a reply.

Different thoughts went through his mind. Such a pretty person did not have a heart to live with yet, still breathing. Krad couldn't possibly be an angel, could he? And something hit Dark, 'Angels ARE pretty!'

Unconscious or not, the purple-haired couldn't care less as he smirked and whispered softly, "My angel..." and gave his roommate a chaste kiss on his lips.

"Kai-san, have a good evening." The silver-haired smiled.

"See you around, Jun!" Kai waved, "And remember not to smoke too much!"

He closed the door behind him.

After Kai had handled those documents to him, the doctor in white sat on his favourite arm chair, going through the list of names which belonged to students that were going to have their health check-up for the month. Personally, he felt that there was no need to have a health check-up every month since everyone was doing and eating well in this school, especially.

But as a doctor of this school, it was his duty to make sure he kept up with the school's policy.

Miyamoto Jun sighed as he put aside those documents. He took out the newspaper from his drawer to read instead.

'It's been a week, I wonder how he has been now, with Dark...' He thought, 'I bet Dark has already took advantage of Hikari-san already, since that first day was already enough to piss Dark off.'

Occasionally, Krad Hikari would visit him about matters such as the purple-haired kept following him and attempted to be nice. But despite his assures that Dark was just plainly over-friendly, the Hikari wouldn't want to face his roommates.

Jun let out a small smile, 'But the look on Kai's face can determine that they had concealed already.'

With that, he brushed back his silver hair with his hand and read his newspaper.
