Chapter 5:
Soon after the fight had cooled down, the plan was that Daisuke and Krad would go to the library and do the research part of it (since Dark hated books) and Satoshi and Dark would go to the museum. Daisuke felt extremely uncomfortable being alone with Krad for so long and so far away from Dark, but both Satoshi and Dark assured him that Krad wouldn't do anything to harm him, but gave him a hint of caution anyway.
"Alright...after you research the pendant's history, we'll meet back here at the apartment. Okay?" Satoshi said to Daisuke as they stood outside of the apartment.
"Um...alright. See you soon I guess. Good luck!" Daisuke said and turned down the corner as Satoshi took off in the other direction.
'You should have had Dark go to the library! He might try to steal the pendant!' Krad raged inside of Daisuke's head.
'Look, he wasn't going to the library no matter what we said. He even complains when I go there to study!' Daisuke said with a nervous laugh as he crossed the street.
'Let's just get this over with quickly! I don't want to leave Dark alone for to long...' Krad said annoyed and aggravated.
'Um...no offence or anything...but do you ever have anything to pleasant to say?' Daisuke asked as he ran down the sidewalk.
'Sure...how about, I'd love to break you neck. How's that?' Krad said sarcastically yet his expression was serious.
'Um...that wasn't very pleasant..." Daisuke said with a gulp.
'To me it is. Now hurry up will you!' Krad said crossing his arms.
Daisuke groaned as he thought about the rest of the day that lay before him and ran up the steps to the library.
Now, Satoshi and Dark were already in the museum, as it was closer to home then the library. The museum was full of the usual amount of visitors, normally old people and teachers on their days off. Plus the construction crew that was repairing a hole in the ceiling.
'I don't remember there being a hole there that last time I was here...' Satoshi said to Dark.
'Oh that was Krad's fault!' Dark said with a nod.
'Krad's fault? Krad isn't allowed to blow up the places he's suppose to be guarding...' Satoshi said glaring at Dark.
'I know! I said the same thing to him!' Dark said with a sigh and a smirk, 'Guess he didn't like the color. You must admit white is a very dull color.'
'But that's Krad's favorite color...' Satoshi said giving Dark an 'I know you did it' look.
'Well...maybe he just didn't like that shade of white. Ah! Right here's where we found the pendant!' Dark said changing the subject.
Satoshi looked up and saw the wall by the mummy case and gave an annoyed look, 'Are you sure Krad didn't hit you in the head to hard? This is a wall Dark..." He said to the Thief.
'Knock on it short three times then two slow knocks genius.' Dark said glaring at Satoshi. 'And no...Krad didn't even lay a finger on me!' Dark said with a snort.
'Oh really? Then how come you other body had cuff marks on the wrists?' Satoshi asked with a raised eyebrow.
'Ah! Just open the damn door!' Dark growled.
Satoshi looked around to make sure no one was near by the stepped in front of the door and knocked as Dark said and sure enough, it opened.
"Good..." Satoshi said allowed. As her entered he heard the distinct sound of voices.
"Who goes there?" Asked an officer glaring at Satoshi. "Oh...sorry sir! I...I didn't know it was you!" He corrected himself realizing who it was.
"Huh?" Satoshi asked confused.
Another officer walked over to him, obviously the one in charge at the time, "My apologizes sir. I thought it was your day off and didn't think to call you." He said in a tone that sounded more like 'Damn it, and here was my chance for the spotlight of cracking this case.'
"Sergeant, what happened here?" He asked returning to his usual cold and adamant tone.
"Sir, apparently someone tried to break in and steal the... err...valuable artifact here..." The sergeant said obviously not all that sure of himself. "We believe it was Dark sir!" He said finally after some thought.
Dark sat amused and clapping in Satoshi's head, 'Wow, he came up with that all by himself? I'm impressed!' He said sarcastically, 'No doubt one of your finest officers Commander Creepy! He deserves a promotion and a raise!'
'Shut up..." Satoshi snapped said snapping at Dark. "Where is the artifact now? Was it stolen?" Satoshi asked aloud to the officer.
"We recovered the Artifact not to far away from the case it was kept in...it is now in our custody." He replied proudly.
"Good that's one half of the question, now where is it exactly." Satoshi said showing that he wasn't impressed.
"Uh, well sir...we have it down at the station. We need it as evidence...finger prints, DNA, hairs, fibers...the usual..." He replied nervously.
'What? I'm insulted! I'm Dark Mousy! The Phantom Thief! PHANTOMS DON'T LEAVE EVIDENCE BEHIND!' Dark yelled enraged and insulted.
"Thank you officer..." Satoshi said taking his leave out the door. 'Quiet Dark! Look at least we know where the pendant is...' Satoshi said rushing out the door. 'I'm going to go tell Daisuke!' He said as her ran.
'Ah...' Daisuke groaned flipping through a, what seemed to be, a mountain of books with over a zillion pages each. 'This is hopeless Krad! This'll take me a year to get through!' Daisuke moaned.
'Well then I guess you'd better read faster...because I want my body back tonight!' Krad yelled as Daisuke continued to skim through the pages of "A Guide to the World of Ancient Treasures".
'Krad...if you don't mind my asking...why do you hate Dark so much?' Daisuke asked as he turned the page from Mummy Heads to ancient toenail clippers.
'Isn't it obvious? Why ask such a stupid question!' Krad growled.
'No...I think it's something more then just the fact he's a thief...' Daisuke said still looking through the book, 'Did he...do something to you?'
Krad was silent for a long while before responding, 'I don't want to talk about it...'
Daisuke felt that he had hit a touchy subject by accident and continued to flip through another book called "Ancient Artifacts for Dummies". 'Okay...new question...why do you hate me?' He asked curiously.
'Because you remind me to much of Dark in the fact that you can't keep your mouth shut!' Krad replied with a deep annoyance.
'Well...since we're stuck like this for a while, I thought we should get to know each other...' Daisuke said shyly.
'You know what kid? I've decided that breaking your neck would be too painless for you, now I've decided to rip your spin out and let you bleed to death after I nail your mouth shut.' Krad responded bitterly.
Daisuke decided to cool the questions for now and was now looking through a book called "The Cursed Artifacts of Old." As he looked through the book he came across a page showing a golden pendent with a crest engraved into it that looked familiar. 'Hey Krad...describe the pendent to me please?' He asked quietly.
'It's gold and has the image of a Tiger's face on it, the right half is made up of diamonds and the left half has black pearls on it...why?' Krad asked.
'Because.... I think I just...' Daisuke started before he was interrupted by a feminine voice, but to make things worse, there were two!
"Hello Daisuke-chan!" Risa said standing in front of the table Daisuke was sitting at.
"Hi ya Daisuke. What'cha reading there?" Rikku asked holding a book of her own in her hand.
'Oh no!' Daisuke said in a panic.
'What's wrong?' Krad asked a bit confused. Then he began to feel Daisuke's heart beat faster and his body temperature rising. 'What the hell? Daisuke what's going on?' Krad demanded now very confused.
"R...R-R-R-Rikku-chan! Risa-chan!" Daisuke stuttered nervously obviously blushing fiercely. "Wha...What are you two doing here?" Daisuke said trying to act natural.
"Well, we came by to check out some books for our class project. Is this yours?" Risa asked taking Daisuke's book from him.
"Ah, ye-yeah! Um...yeah this is my project!" Daisuke felt an uncomfortable feeling of Butterflies and extreme nervousness that caused him to feel sick. 'Oh not now not now!' Daisuke repeated over and over again in his head as his body shook.
'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?' Krad repeated in a tone that shuck Daisuke up even more.
"Hmm?" Rikku said taking a look at the book as well. "Um...Daisuke...what do old cursed pendants have to do with a chemistry project?" She asked raising an eyebrow at Daisuke.
'I'm gonna transform!' Daisuke screamed in his head.
'What? Transform? What do you...oh no...' Krad said now looking worried himself. 'YOU STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN OVER THAT YET?' Krad screamed.
"Uh yeah!" Daisuke said grabbing the book and jumping out of his seat, "Sorry! Got to go!" He said rushing out the door feeling himself getting warmer and warmer.
"Daisuke, wait!" Risa called out and ran after him.
"Hmph..." Rikku said crossing her arms. "How rude!"
Daisuke ran out of the library and down to the park into a heavily wooded area, 'Not yet!' Daisuke screamed and then he dissolved away and Dark's form pooped out with a bewildered look on his face.
'Wha...WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?' Krad demanded now back into the world of the tangible.
'I'm sorry!' Daisuke said with fear gripping his voice, 'I...whenever I see Risa or I'm that nervous around her I...poof!' Daisuke said trying to think if anyone could have seen him.
'Oh that's just great! Why didn't you tell me?' Krad demanded.
'Because you told me to shut up!' Daisuke replied still trying to think.
'Alright...we're going back to Satoshi's apartment right...' But before he could finish he heard a gasp of surprise behind him and was now face to face with Risa!
"D...Dark..." She said blushing, "Wha...well...hi..." She said cupping her reddened cheeks and smilingly shyly.
Krad looked at her confused, 'What's her problem?' He asked with one eyebrow raised.
'Oh no! She thinks you're Dark!' Daisuke said now panicking again.
'Dark? Hang on I thought she liked you?' Krad said now even more confused.
'Well...I..." Daisuke stuttered embarrassed, 'Um...I like her but...she's in love with Dark...'
Could Krad's eyes have gotten any wider, Daisuke thought. Krad was trying his best to fight the urge to burst out laughing, but this was totally against his nature and he quickly got a hold of himself as Risa moved closer to him still blushing a muttering something about dreaming about this moment since she'd first seen him.
"Oh Dark...you're so handsome..." She said as Krad backed away from her slowly. "I've loved you since the first day I met you..."
'Ah! She's serious!' Krad said in his mind. 'Should I kill her?' He asked.
'AHH! No, no, no, no, no, no, no!' Daisuke yelled. "No! You can't kill her! Someone will hear! Um...act like Dark! Throw her off!' Daisuke said quickly.
'You want me to rape her!' Krad screamed. 'There's no way in hell I'm doing that!'
'Dark wouldn't...ah! Um...just say...Ah! Say that you're glad to see her too and...and...and...and that you must part for now!' Daisuke said quickly as Risa backed Krad against a tree.
"Uh..." Krad said nervously, "I...I'm glad to see you too...uh..." Krad said as she looked up at him with her large innocent eyes, "And...and um...unfortunately...I....I have to go now.... so um..." Krad stuttered as he was interrupted by Risa's voice.
"Oh...I understand...but...will you at least..." She said standing on her tiptoes and looked up at Krad's bewildered face. "Will you at least give me a parting kiss?" She asked puckering her lips.
'Oh God no! That's it, this chick is dead!' Krad said taken a back at the thought of some random stranger asking him to kiss her.
'No, no, no! Just...Just...Just...Just don't hurt her and get out of there!" Daisuke yelled in a panic.
"Um...sorry...I...I have to go!" Krad said and used a spell to teleport away.
"Huh? Wait, DARK!" Risa called out, but Krad was long gone.
In only a matter of seconds, Krad had teleported them into Satoshi's room and had landed hard on the bed and just as he hit it hard, fell onto the floor on his back.
"Ouch!" Krad yelled breathing hard, "I...I'll never get use to this body!" He managed to say closing his eyes and trying to catch his breath. "What the hell is up with...Dark's spells? They...they take too much out of you and are so unfocused! Ouch..." He said slowly sitting up.
'Oh God...that was close...' Daisuke said with a sigh of relief and fell onto the floor himself in Krad's mind and was laying next to him in the darkness.
Then out of nowhere, Krad started laughing! Not that homicidal, creepy laugh he does, but one of...happiness?
'K...Krad, are you alright?' Daisuke asked looking over at him concerned and confused.
'I.... I haven't gotten into so much trouble...and gotten away with it in so long...Hahahahahahaha! It was great!' He said still with his eyes closed and laughing uncontrollable.
Daisuke guessed that this was because he hadn't laughed in so long; he missed the feeling of it and didn't want it to end. So he decided to let him laugh, after all, he felt like laughing himself at what had just occurred too. Suddenly Daisuke busted out laughing too, and after five minutes or so they both clamed down.
'Hey Krad, you did great back there!' Daisuke said sitting up and looking in front of himself still smiling. 'Where'd you learn to act like that?'
'Hahaha! I can't act worth the life of me!' Krad said with another chuckle, "I just hope the girl didn't take it to hard! I dumped her on the first date so to say!' He said with a smile and still breathing hard.
'Hehe, guess so..." Daisuke said with a sigh and still with a smile. 'Hey Krad...thanks for putting up that act and not hurting Risa...'
Krad had calmed himself down and looked upward into the darkness above him still smiling. He hadn't been this happy since...the day he and Dark became enemies. And since then...no one had ever said thank you to him...He sat up slowly still sitting beside Daisuke and turned to him still smiling. 'You're welcome.... Daisuke...' Krad said with a hint of thankfulness to Daisuke in his tone.
At that one moment, Daisuke actually thought he was looking at Dark himself. His smile was just so warm and familiar, yet Daisuke had never seen Krad smile before. For once...Daisuke didn't see any difference between Krad and Dark at all. He smiled at this and gave a warm smile back to Krad. 'You're welcome too.' He said.
Then Krad opened his eyes to back to Satoshi's room. The apartment was always so quiet and lonely he thought. Then suddenly he felt a sense of guilt strike him, he never even once showed this side of himself to Satoshi, his true host. Yet here he was, laughing and enjoying himself with Daisuke. Suddenly he realized why he'd been so unhappy all of these years...
"Because I never had you around.... to make me laugh...Dark..." Krad said aloud and quietly with a look of sadness on his face as he laied there alone in the decollate apartment.
