Krad's true nature returns

"T-t-thanks, Y-Y-Yukito…" said Dark through chattering teeth.

"No prob."

"I don't believe this…not only did he beat Dark at the traps, he also shows concern for him?!" said Emiko stunned.

"This keeps getting weirder and weirder…" muttered Kosuke.


"Not really," said Dark, his teeth no longer chattering.

"Kyu!" said Flops as if to agree.

"I still don't get one thing though…why didn't he avoid the lasers like he did the other traps?" said Emiko.

"You didn't avoid the lasers?! You're up to your old tricks again aren't you…"

Yukito grinned as he said, "Now whatever gave you that idea?"

"Looks like your true nature is returning faster than we thought…"

"You know what this means right? I'll be able to ditch the alias of 'Yukito'!" he said happily.

"Wait…what do you mean you'll be able to ditch the name of Yukito? I thought that was your name!" said Kosuke in confusion.

"You've called me Krad and Yukito…but you never learned my real name!" said Yukito/Krad.

"YOU'RE KRAD?! How is this possible?!" said Emiko and Daiki.

"Ask the fool here…"

"I made a bet with him. He had to become human and NOT blow our cover for the rest of the school year. I only did it to help Satoshi out, but it looks like it backfired!"


"That would be a MAJOR understatement!" grumbled the blue-haired boy from the doorway.

"I think we left the front door open when we did the test…" said Kosuke and Yukito.

"What the… Yukito what happened to your hair?! It looks singed off!"

"Missing the lasers was deliberate by the way," Yukito said as he looked at Emiko.

"Care to explain…?" Emiko said as she looked at Dark.

"Feh, he did this last time too. Can't you go to a barbershop like normal people?!"

"Need I remind you of the reason WHY I can't do that?!"

"This should prove amusing…"

"Why did you hit the lasers, Krad?" said Emiko with obvious venom in her voice.

"Because of a little problem I have had with Dark! Stupid jinx…"

"I wasn't the one who used the jinx on you, remember? My tamer did that one!" snickered Dark.

"Only because you told him to! Out of all the jinxes you could have used, WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THAT ONE?!"

"What jinx is he talking about?" asked Kosuke.

"The hair-growing jinx. Means that every time I try to keep my short hair it grows back the next day!"

Dark started laughing; Yukito glared at him and snarled, "I'd like to see you try and explain how your hair grew back in one night after it was cut!"

"That would be a problem. Is that why you hate Dark so much?"

"That's only ONE of the reasons…so yes," said Yukito.


The Niwa family and Satoshi chuckled at that. Flops gave Yukito a look; he went and gave his little rabbit companion a strawberry.

"So what do we do now?" Satoshi asked, looking at his alter ego.
