SATOSHI's DECISION
Dark stood in front of the table looking at all the boxes. He set the one he got on the far edge of the table. Krad chuckled lightly as he watched Dark glare at the many boxes mumbling swears to himself. Dark looked at Krad then back at the boxes.
"Do I get any hints... Oh Great One?" Dark asked adding sarcasm to the three last words.
"Now, now Dark Mousey. You should know better then to ask me that."
"Yeah... should of known you'd be your usual prick of a self."
Dark began to examine the boxes, looking at each one from above. They all looked the same and it was starting to get on his nerves. Dark leaned over and picked one of the boxes from the middle, looked at it then set it back down and started staring at them again. As he did Daisuke began to speak to him.
/Dark? Are you really going to be able to figure out which box is the real one?/ Daisuke asked from the back of Dark's mind.
/Well I don't really have a choice do I... I cant just let Krad have it. Who knows what he would use it for./ Dark said bending down to examine all the boxes at eye level.
/Well I don't really think Satoshi would let Krad use the mirror for his own wishes./
Dark made a skeptical sound and picked up another box from the middle. He looked at it from each angle, then he looked at the lid. He rubbed two fingers over the top. He huffed slightly rolling his eyes for even deciding to ask another question of Krad.
"Will you at least tell me if there is anything in these boxes?"
"I don't know. You'll just have to open one and find out." Krad answered smirking as Dark gave him a mild glare.
Dark looked back at the box and thought if wether he should at least see what would happen if he opened one of the boxes. Dark doubted that it would be very bad since his royal creepiness didn't want to hurt Daisuke due to his obsession with him. Dark looked over at the box once more before he moved his thumb into the crease where the lid was placed. As Dark began to pull the lid up Daisuke asked /Dark are you sure its such a good idea to do that?/ in a slightly worried tone. When the lid opened Dark went flying back skirting across the floor and into a wall. Dark winced when he made contact with the wall and fell to his side coughing as if the wind got knocked out of him. Krad began to laugh and commemorated Satoshi for being such a genius. Dark looked up at Krad still coughing and glared at him.
/Dark! Are you okay?/ Daisuke asked panicked.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Dark muttered his voice a little raspy from the impact and from the coughing then shouted at Krad who was laughing, "Krad! What he hell was that."
"Ha, ha, ha... well to say the truth. I honestly don't know. That was all Master Satoshi... never knew he was so devious." Krad said still chuckling to himself.
"Yeah. Whatever." Dark said as he stood and straightened himself out.
/Dark I don't thing you should open another./ Daisuke suggested with a ting of fear as Dark walked over to the table.
/Its alright Daisuke. It'll be fine... he wont really hurt me since it would be hurting you as well and he wont do that./ Dark said his tone having a hint of irritation.
/But Dark. I don't want you to get hurt./
/Heh. Thanks but I'll be careful./
Dark stopped in front of the table and looked at all the boxes again. Then as he heard a little sigh come from Daisuke he asked if he wanted to pick one to open and Daisuke hastily said no and that he didn't want to be responsible for injuring Dark. Dark smiled to himself at Daisuke's concern. Krad carefully watched Dark as he looked at the boxes.
/So Master Satoshi... what kind of surprises did you lay for our Egotistical Phantom Thief?/ Krad asked within his mind smirking all the while.
/It is non of your concern./
/Oh c'mon Master Satoshi... are you really that mad at me for taking over?/
/It doesn't matter. Either way he'll have to figure out which boxes is the one he seeks./
Krad made a low "humph" to himself. Krad then set his attention back on Dark and saw that Dark had picked up another box. Dark shook the box cautiously. Nothing happened. He wondered if he should open this one as well. Daisuke uttered a quite no that Dark didnt hear for he had been already thinking, 'Its either open one by one or give up and I am not giving up.' So with that Dark opened the lid. This time nothing happened which made Krad pout with disappointment and Dark sigh with relief. While Dark leaned over Daisuke said/Maybe you should think this through... you know see if there's any loop holes to Satoshi's plane... any clues./
/Are you kidding. Do you remember who your talking about... its Mr. Creepy Commander boy here... he's a fricken perfectionist remember!/
/W-well you never know... and stop calling him Creepy.../
/Never.../
Dark set the open box onto the floor next to the other. 'Well there's 18 boxes left... I guess I should try Daisukes idea.' Dark looked at his watch to see that it was a little past ten. '... and I better hurry... I don't want to be here any longer then needed.' Dark walked around the table looking at all the boxes from above. Nothing popped out at him, the boxes all looked the same. Darked stopped at the opposite side he had been standing at before and picked up one of the boxes on the edge of the table and examined it. Then Dark picked up another with his other hand and examined them next to each other in his palms. There was nothing different about then. They were same. Dark set those two boxes aside and grabbed two more. Those two were the same as the others. He picked up a third pair and set them side by side in his palms and started examining them. As he did he noticed something out of the ordinary with the two. One looked like the other and the other had a light feather imprint on the lid. Dark smirked inwardly. How could he be so stupid. He had totally forgotten that his boxes had a special seal on then. Dark set the other box down and carefully opened the other box that had the seal. When the box was completely opened nothing happened. For a moment Dark believed it to be the right box and was about to test his theory when a black smoke came out spilling out and he was slammed against the wall for a second time that night. Dark pushed at the thing holding him against the wall and realized that it was another body holding him down. Dark coughed as the other being grabbed him by the neck and lifted him a few inches above the ground. Dark grabbed the wrist of the other being and yanked the hand away falling to the floor. He opened his eyes to see something very odd and out of place. Then his eyes became wide with shock as he looked into purple eyes that were identical to his own. Dark was looking at himself and his other self didn't look to friendly. The other Dark smirked smugly as he took a step back and crossed his arms looking at Dark up and down. Then the other Dark looked at Krad then back to Dark and said, "I think its safe to say that I am a better Dark than he could ever be. What do you think, my master?"
"I wouldn't really know but from what I can see... you seem to be more interesting" Krad said smirking.
Dark looked at Krad then to the other Dark. 'What are you playing at Satoshi...' Dark thought as he scanned the other Dark.
/Dark... what are we ganna do... I don't think he's ganna let us keep looking at the box's without giving us trouble./
/leave it to me Daisuke.../
Dark continued looking at the other Dark trying to think of the fastest way to get rid of him when he was brought out of his thoughts by the others Dark's voice.
"Now... I know I'm attractive but your staring is starting to annoy me?" The other Dark said staring at Dark.
"Oh really." Dark said with a glaring smirk 'This guy gives himself way to much credit'
"Yeah... care to test my theory?"
Dark smirked and pulled out a feather quickly attacking the other Dark. The other Dark dodged the hit and smirked himself. The other Dark stood straight and chuckled slightly pulling out a feather himself. Dark raised an eyebrow and barley dodged a ball of light that came at him. 'So... this guy has my powers... this is ganna be a little tricky...' Dark thought as he pulled out another feather and threw another hit at the other Dark. The other Dark was going to attack Dark with another light ball when Krad's order to stop made him stand still.
"You seem to have forgotten what I said... Dark... you may not use magic during your search for the box... meaning now as well... since this is part of the game."
"W-what! That is uncalled for... how else am I suppose to get rid of him other then fighting with magic?" Dark said becoming irritated.
"Now... now, Dark... you shouldn't fight with yourself..."
"Krad." Dark warned with a growl as Krad chucled, "T-then tell me how the hell am I suppose to get rid of this guy."
"That is for me to know and you to find out..."
"Oh... how original..."
"Master... does that mean I can no fight against him?"
Krad smirked as a thought hit him. Satoshi flared with anger as he realized what Krad was thinking and said /Krad don't you dare... I will not allow such a thing... only Dark is suppose to be figuring this out... it is a duel between me and him.../. Krad smirked even more and said back in his thoughts /but... Master Satoshi... what fun would that be... besides... this is a... test for Dark... its not my fault if he changes.../. Satoshi gave a inward growl making Krad chuckle. Dark looked at Krad with suspicion as the other Dark waited for an answer. Krad gave a final chuckle before he answered, "You may challenge Dark... just not in a...fighting sense." Dark looked at Krad with a "what's the hell is that suppose to mean" manner. As Dark stared at Krad he neglected to notice the other Dark smirked mischievously at Krad and give a little nod of understanding.
