Dark sighed and sat at Undertakers desk,working on some files of the
deceased. Undertaker was out again on his errands, leaving Dark back at
the morgue. "gah...he does the bodies happily enough, but he's such a
procrastinator when it comes to the papers..."she grumbled. "always
having to go deliver a coffin some time or another..." she finished the
papers she was working on and set them aside. that was the last of it.
she rest her head on the desk, moping about Undertakers absence. Then
the door opened...

Dark glanced up from the desk, then her expression went blank. "oh...Jsem v
průšvihu..." she muttered. She stood up, facing two people she knew very
well. "hi...Dusk..."she gave a sheepish smile. A taller male stood in
the doorway, while a girl about the same size as dark grinned from
behind the male. "hi Dark~ long time no see?" she giggled. Dusk walked
in. "So...you found a job here...ill admit, well 's much more
than any of us could do~" he grinned and pat her head, which completely
caught Dark off guard. Then came the expected part. Which somehow caught
Dark off guard as well. Dusk delivered a sharp smack to the back of
Darks head, "alright. so... what should we do? wait till your boss comes
back or-" A new voice interrupted him. "well, whatever the second
option was, you is just gonna have to go with the first, as im here
now~" Undertaker stood behind Dawn, who remained in the doorway before
turning to look at the mortician. She shrieked and ran to dusk, hiding
behind him. "He just came out of nowhere!" she whined, hiding behind
dusk.

The Undertaker glanced at them all. "id rather you not touch her like that
again, boy..." Undertaker said, his giggly voice changing to a serious
tone. Dusk eyed him for a second with an irritated glare. "Ignoring that...how should i start my lecture? he looked at Dark, who crept over to the undertaker. He sat, pulling her into his lap. Dusk stood, Dawn holding onto his arm. Dark sighed, her ears flattening to the sides. "start at the beginning...im sure u have this planned out..." Dusk nodded. "damn straight i do...anyway; DAMMIT DARK YOU DISAPPEARED FOR A FEW MONTHS! WHAT THE HELL?! ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT INCIDENT! GODDAMMIT DARK, YOUR MORE RECKLESS THAN I WAS WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN, AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING!" he yelled. Dark had covered her ears, as she could hear him just fine through her hands. "DAWNS BEEN OUT SEARCHING FOR YOU, ALL THE WHILE WE"RE THINKING YOU'VE BEEN TAKEN BY THE POLICE AND SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU!" dawn shrugged at dark and mouthed 'sorry. hes been planning this for weeks now...' Dark returned the shrug.

Dusk ranted on for a few minutes, boring them as they eventually grew accustomed to the loud tone. almost to the point that awn and Dark started conversing about whats been going on during their time apart. "so...we've been doing our jobs as normal, ive been filling in for you...whatve you been doing here?" Dark smiled, ignoring dusks' loud rant. "ive been working on the papers that this big procrastinators wont do~" she turned and poked the Undertakers nose. he pouted and whined. "but i dont like paperwork...besides, you never complained..." she giggled and lay her head back on his shoulder. "im playing, silly~ besides, i wont complain so long as i get to help out with the corpses~" she grinned and Undertaker nuzzled her neck. Dawn giggled. "So you have fun here?"

Dark nodded, squeaking as undertaker nuzzled her neck, tickling her neck with his breath. Dawn grinned wider, in an almost Undertaker-ish smile. "we've been doing all right though...Cileras came by and Dusk beat him...again...in cards. hahaha. cileras knows how to cheat, but So does Dusk. it was a great game though. they used the cards you made~" she purred, and Dark looked pleased with herself. "did they like the cards?" Dawn nodded. "really some of your best. and unusual, since regular playing cards are black and red." dark purred happily and flicked her ears. Undertaker looked at her. "why havent i ever seen you make these cards?" he whined, pouting. Dark nuzzled his cheek, purring. "no pouting~ i just havent made any for a while...been working with you, havent i?"

Undertaker gave her a sad look. "aww, have i been keeping you from such a talent?" he sighed. Dark shook her head. "no...i just havent thought about it. i been having too much fun here~" A grin immediately grew on his face. "so you do enjoy being here?" he asked innocently. Dark nodded, then gave him a suspicious look at the innocent tone in his voice. "what are you planning Šizuňk?" Undertaker chuckled and poked her nose with a long nail. "thats for me to know and you to find out~" Dark watched him silently for a second. Then in half of that second realizing Dusk had stopped ranting and was watching the two converse. Dark looked at him innocently and blushed as undertaker wrapped his arms around her waist, humming merrily in her ear. Dusk watched them. "so dark...been keeping out of trouble?" As she nodded quickly, Dusk flicked her nose. "why dont you give us a good introduction, hmm? to your boss who seems to have a fascination with you~" he teased as she wrinkled her nose. "Soumrak , tohle je pohřebník , můj šéf a blízký příte" she purred. he looked at undertaker. "hmmm...
Jste si jisti jeho pouze jeho blízký přítel?" he asked, a teasing grin playing at his lips.
"a-ano..." Dark blushed faintly again.
"Lháři...Odkdy koktáte"
"přísl..."
"ano"
"přisl"
"ano"
Dusk and Dark stared at each other for a second, Dusk amused and Dark defiant. Then dusk shrugged, apparently giving in. "fine, kitty. but i want to ask, are you willing to come home, or do you plan to stay here while you work?"

Dark looked up at undertaker, as in her opinion it was completely up to him. The mortician looked down at her and grinned, and Dark noticed a flash of green. 'he has green eyes?' she thought, her ears witching slightly. The undertaker nuzzled darks' cheek. "im perfectly happy with you staying here, if that is what you wish, my dear~" he whispered in her ear. dark flicked her ear again, and looked at Dusk. "ill stay..."

Dusk nodded."you know where we are, if you need or want us for anything." He motioned to Dawn, who sprang up from the coffin and darted to his side happily. Dark pouted slightly. "you're leaving already?" her ears flattened in disappointment. Dawn giggled happily. "no worries! we'll be back, kitty! just have jobs to do! and besides, it doesn't have to work one way, u can come visit us too! you and the Undertaker!" she waved her hands excitedly as she talked, completely defying her sleepy outlook.

Dusk nodded and walked out the door, and after a few minutes of dawns babble, he came back and dragged her out the door, mumbling under his breath. dark looked back at undertaker, who turned her around on his lap so she was facing him. "sooo...you told them who i was, but who were they?" he asked, taking hold of her chin. Dark blushed, then gave a playful smile. "show me your eyes and ill tell you~" she purred.

Undertaker knew he shouldnt have been off guard for that. He knew she wouldve done it eventually, but it still caught him by surprise. Considering her curiosity, and how she constantly surprised him as she found ways to satisfy it, he knew she wouldve done this. He looked down at Dark, then gave a relenting sigh at her curious, innocent, and yet anxious expression. "aahhh, fine~ but will you keep it a secret? just for you?" he asked, satisfied as she nodded, then voiced her agreement to the terms. he took off his hat and pulled back his bangs, revealing his green-yellow eyes.

Dark stared up at his eyes. they were certainly captivating. She was pleased by the fact that he would let her see such eyes... and now she owed him an apology. "im sorry for using a trick like that..."she nuzzled Undertakers neck, her tone sincere. The Undertaker gave a small nod, stroking her hair gently. Dark reached up and whispered softly into his ear. "i like your eyes though...not as much as i like you all together." Undertaker looked down at her with a slightly confused face. "what do you mean?" he asked.

Dark blushed. "w-well...i just mean that i like all of you, not just your eyes...a-and umm..."she started stammering, but undertaker placed a finger gently on her lips. "shh~ calm down, my dear~" he smiled and kissed her forehead. Dark fell silent immediately, blushing faintly. he removed his finger from her lips and leaned in, kissing her softly.

Aaaaalriiight. here we reached the end of this chapter... sorry its a lot shorter than the others. to be honest, all the others were three chapters all shoved into one. so really up to now, there were actually nine chapters, but this is the tenth. all on its poor little lonesome...
