Notes

Alright then! It took a long time to write this chapter. Mostly because of a lack of time. But also because I really didn't know which way this story was going. There were several ideas and to pick one is hard. We needed to get exited about writing this chapter, that's how we work best. Well.here it is! Enjoy! Same warnings, same disclaimer. Oh! Before I forget! Thank you all so much for the reviews!!! Happy happy, joy joy! Now.next chapter will probably be R (the rating, not the title or something) but we'll put it up under the same old rating anyway until we get complaints ..hehe..

Chapter 3

Daisuke ran all the way back, without stopping once. He didn't even have time to feel confused about what just happened. Not just the thing with Krad, but with the kiss... 'I kissed him..no..wait..he kissed me...no...I- let-him kis me...we kissed!!!' The boy thought when he stumbled into his bedroom.

'-Hehe..relax! So you like boys instead of girls, who cares?! Now calm down and focus on *real* problems.-'Dark said.

'What do you mean, real problems, this *is* a real problem!' Daisuke exclaimed. '-One word. Krad.-' 'Oh, right. I forgot about him.' The sweet redhead sat down on his bed and all of a sudden felt how exhausted he was, how tired his body felt because of the tension, the new experiences, feelings and knowing that his life was in danger. 'Alright, let's see, a plan. Dark. Any ideas?'

'-Hmmm, from what I know, Krad will kill you when he gets that chance, so let's focus on staying alive at the moment.-'

'Hahaha...very funny..no...really..any ideas? I mean, this must have happened before, right? And you've been around for so long, ever experienced any thing like this situation? And what's more important, what did you do?'

'-Daisuke, you don't want to hear this.-' 'What do you mean?' Dark sighed uncomfortably, but knew he had to tell the boy his past experiences with this problem. '-Well, if you insist. You are right. This *has* happened before. And self-sacrifice was usually the end of the tale. Or in some cases, love story.-' The thief knew how Daisuke must be feeling and felt very sorry for the boy. '-I'm sorry Daisuke.I.I don't know a better ending to the story. I wish I knew.-' Tears meandered over the young boy's cheek and finally fell on the floor. Suddenly his hands turned into fists and a determined look appeared on his face. 'Dark!' The boy said with a strength that he himself didn't even know he possessed. 'We *will* think of something. We will make a plan to get rid of Krad, without hurting Satoshi!' Dark was relieved to see that his friend wouldn't give up. At least now they had a chance. '-You're right. Maybe we *can* make it. And my guess is, your love will play a big part in our plan.-'

- _At the same time, another conversation inside a head took place. 'Krad, please, change back. Now. Look, he's gone, you're not going after him, you're just standing here, so why won't you change back? Answer me!'

'-Ah, Satoshi-sama. Always wanting to be in control. Do you want to know why *you* can't make *me* change back into yourself?-'

'Yes! Tell me.' '-Ah, I've changed my mind-' 'What!? Why?' '-Ah, yes.that's why. Because the answer will upset you, Satoshi-sama-' 'Don't be ridiculous. You need to tell me. There is something wrong and I have a certain right to know what's going on.' '-Now now, calm down.-' 'I *am* calm.' '-Allright, I'll tell you.-' '.' '-.-' 'I'm waiting.' '-Your fear for the boy you claim to love is making me stronger. That is why you cannot stop me from doing whatever it is I'm planning to do.-' '.' '-?-' '-You're not sulking now, are you, Satoshi-sama? Don't be like that. You know you're still the only one for me? I just have to get a little red obstacle out of the way. That's all. You'll be surprised how easy it is to forget, I promise.-'

'Don't pretend like you care, Krad. I know you don't.' '-I do care. You're mine, after all, remember?-' 'I'm not yours. You can forget about that!' '-Now now, be nice to me, Satoshi-sama, you forget who's really in charge.- ' '.' '-.-' '-Sleep well, Satoshi-sama-' 'Krad, please.don't.hurt.Daisuke.I'll do anything for you.' '-Satoshi-sama, you've closed your heart for so long. Do you really think that's real love you're feeling?-' 'Yes. I do. I love him. There. I said it.' '-It's just something you've made up. You don't really love him. You just need him.-' 'That's stupid. I don't need anyone. I never have.' '-You need him to feel good about yourself.-' 'That's not true, I.I love him.' '-You're *using* him, Satoshi-sama.-' In the meantime, Dark and Daisuke had just finished making up a plan to defeat Krad without hurting Satoshi and, if they were lucky, it would separate the dangerous blonde from the blue haired boy. Daisuke would leave at 19:00. A time they both agreed upon. It was now 18:30 and the redhead couldn't help but think about Satoshi. He took a piece of paper out of his desk and wrote down whatever came to mind.

~ 30 minutes to go Write an ocean Write a river Write a stream of thoughts And let it pass Make it a moment Of undying love ~

'-Ooh.what do we have here?-' 'Shut up Dark.' '-Oh gosh! Oh golly! Someone's in luv!!!-' 'Yes, I'm in love, so I write crappy love poems. What do you expect. I'm only 14 you know!' '-Aren't we sensitive.Ah well, at least this will make my job easier.-' 'What do you mean? The only thing you have to do is protect me from Krad once he gets into energyball-mode.' '-err..right..-' 'Dark, what's wrong?' '-Nothing, really! Just relax and get ready for the plan.-'

The doorbell rang. Daisuke's head turned to where the sound was coming from. 'That's probably mum.' He walked towards the front door and at the exact time he opened the door, a voice screamed through his head. A man with long, blond hair and an evil grin plastered over his face stood in the doorway and a second later, there was darkness, nothing more.

A certain blue haired boy was sitting in a corner of Krad's sick mind. He could do nothing but watch as his evil half dragged an unconscious Daisuke into a basement. He didn't know who's basement it was, as he had slept for a while. It certainly wasn't his basement. It was no use reasoning with Krad. God! The blonde was so strong! How could this have happened? Powerless.oh how he hated to feel powerless. Fear, fear for himself, but most of all, fear for Daisuke. He could do nothing.

The redhead stirred. Slowly, his beautiful eyes opened. He winced, wanted to move his hand to his head and came to the conclusion that it was impossible. He shivered, it was cold and damp and he knew that he didn't like this place one bit! Now if only he could remember how he got there! He closed his eyes and suddenly knew all he needed to know. How he wished he hadn't opened the front door. Now it was too late. His hands and feet were tied together, the rope burned into his flesh, his head throbbed. '-Could be a concussion Daisuke, take it easy, okay?-' Dark said, surprisingly caring. All of a sudden, a bright light was switched on, shining directly into the young boy's eyes. He winced again and shut his eyes tight. '-Good evening, I assume a formal introduction is unnecessary?-' There seemed to be no emotion into his voice, except perhaps sarcasm. The redhead shivered involuntarily. Of course, Krad's all-seeing eyes noticed. '-Is that because you're cold, exited or.something else?-' Krad paused. No response. He continued. '-Ooh.let me guess.could it be..*fear*? Yes, well, you should be. Ah, I guess my Satoshi-sama is right. You *are* cute, just not my type.-' Daisuke managed to speak, even though moving his lips and raising his voice hurt. 'What happened to Satoshi?' '-Shouldn't you be more concerned about what's going to happen to you? 'Cause you're the one tied up in a basement with me.-' Krad turned around, not waiting for the captured boy to answer. All Daisuke could see now was the psycho's back. He could only guess what the blonde was doing. It seemed like he was preparing a table for some fancy dinner with all sorts of forks and.knives.not good.

The cruel man faced Daisuke again and asked: '-so tell me, Daisuke, and think real hard on this one, would you die for the one you love?-' He stepped away from the table and switched on a nearby lamp. The light showed sharp metal objects, varying size. '- And you know it's gonna hurt..' Krad smiled...
