Chapter 2:
After what seemed to be an eternity of darkness, blue eyes awoke to the darkness of the cold and barren room that seemed foreign to these eyes. Confused and dazed, he looked around the room to try and understand what had happened. He remembered being chased by Krad, and then ended up on top of him...(he smirked at this thought) and then he grabbed the pendent...YES! The pendent! But where was it? He looked at his hands and suddenly felt even more confused. His hands were covered with white gloves, the thief had never worn white, nor had he ever dressed so white as he looked at the rest of his attire. As he bent his head down he noticed golden hair falling over his shoulders, now he thought, this has to be a dream.
"Wait...what happened..." He asked himself aloud, "W...where's the pendent...more importantly...where am I?" Dark asked in almost near panic and shock. He realized that this voice was not his own...it was must deeper and far more darker then his own.
"You touched the Pendent of Azierith you moron!" A now familiar voice said to him in a tone of weakness and weariness. "You...you touched the pendent..." He repeated now struggling to open his eyes.
Dark looked over at the figure beside him, and to his horror...he was looking...at himself! Some one was now in his body, and he in another's.
"P...Pendent of Azierith?" He asked in confusion. "What the hell just happened?"
Dark watched his body sit up and place his hands behind him to support himself. "You imbecile!" he heard his body with his voice say, "You and I touched the Pendent of Azierith at the same time and...and..." He said still trying to come to terms with this mind-bending phenomenon himself. "Now...you're in my body and I'm in yours!" He finished panting as if just sitting up had taken all of his energy.
Dark stared in astonishment at what he had just felt, seen, and heard. He tried to organize these things in his mind and come to terms with this new sensation. It was just too unbelievable to be true. He had to hear all of this one more time...
"So...you're saying...that I am now you...Krad...and you are me...Dark..." Dark said trying to calm his tone, "And now...now what? How do we switch back?" Dark asked now regaining his composer.
"I dunno..." Krad responded with a heavy sigh. "I dunno..." Suddenly, breaking this odd silence was laughter! His own voice's laughter! He stared in astonishment at Dark laughing at the situation. "Do you think this is funny?" Krad demanded.
"Haha, It's hysterical!" Dark cried out bawling over with laughter, "We, Dark and Krad, the Great Phantom Thief and the Great Demonic Angel, just switched places! And we can't get ourselves back! Don't you find it funny?" He roared with laughter. "I often dreamed of what it would be like if we switched roles in life but never did I dream it'd actually happen!"
Krad had come to one conclusion, Dark Mousy had finally cracked. Here he was, the Great Hunter of the Phantom Thief, Krad...had now become the thing he most desired to capture and destroy! Krad could think of no worse situation, then Dark, who has now become the Great Hunter, stood there laughing at this predicament! There was no other explanation but pure insanity.
"No, no actually I don't find this funny!" Krad yelled as Dark continued to laugh. "I think this I the worst thing that's ever happened to me!"
"Aww, come on Krad! Look at it this way...now instead of a stuck up pain in the ass...you've become a babe magnet!" Dark mused smiling at the shock stricken Krad.
"Dark, this is serious! I don't know how to change us back...and I don't want babes got that!" He said with a dangerous tone.
"Hmm, you're right...why would you want a babe when you've got me!" Dark said with a devious grin. A grin that Krad thought didn't suit his own hard face.
"Can you take nothing in life seriously?" Krad asked with narrowed eyes and extremely annoyed.
"Well...I could...but why would I want to?" Dark said with a 'duh' expression. "Besides...with this body...oh the damage I could cause!"
"Fool! When will you ever grow up?" Krad yelled.
Dark pulled his face close to Krad's with a seductive look on his face, "Once you kiss me and I've had my way with you..." He said with a smirk.
"That'll be the day..." Krad said pushing Dark onto the floor in front of him, "That I become a thief myself!"
"Sorry to tell you darling...but you are a thief now...the best and the greatest there is..." Dark said in a low yet sarcastic tone.
"Grrr..." Krad growled and rose to his feet and pinned Dark to the floor facing him, "Let's get this straight, I may be in your body, have your voice, and your powers...but hear this...I-am-not-you! Got that?" He said narrowing his eyes and locking his jaw.
Dark just simply smiled, that devious smile that looked unnervingly dangerous on the face that the great thief now wore, "Sorry...but I'm having a familiar thought that we've done this before..."
Krad simply growled and stood up over Dark after giving his wrists a painfully tight squeeze, "Stop messing around you horny bastard and come up with a plan to get us out of this mess!" He said through closed teeth.
Dark folded his hands behind his head casually and starred up at Krad who was standing over him in his body. "I thought you knew by now? I don't even know that first thing about the pendent." He said with a carefree smile and shrugged. "You come up with something...unless you've become fond of being me."
"The last part I detest with a passion." Krad growled and realized he was letting Dark enjoy the view too much and walked away from him as Dark moaned upset. "Obviously sitting around here won't fix things...we have to find out more information on the pendent. All I know is that the pendent switches souls and bodies...that's it."
"Wait, wait, wait..." Dark said leaping upwards and walking over to Krad who now stood at the door way. "Are you saying that we're working together on this?" He asked with a cheerfulness that made Krad sick to his stomach.
"As much as I hate to say it...we both agree that we can't stay like this forever...I want my body back and you want yours right?" Krad asked with a sigh.
"Yeah..." Dark said in an admitting tone.
"Therefore, a temporary truce until we and switch back. Understood?" Krad said eyeing Dark.
"Haha, Krad my dear, you've got yourself a deal. Just don't annoy Daisuke to much okay?" Dark said with a laugh.
"Same to you..." Krad said dangerously.
"Oh don't worry! The creepy bastard and I are gonna have a grand time together!" Dark said grinning.
"That's what I'm afraid of..." Krad said darkly.
