Prologue...
There were only three things Dark Mousy hated. Krad, losing, and necromancers, and in that order, too. Krad had stolen his girl and kicked his ass, and now there was nothing Dark could do about it. That witch-woman had put that subduing spell on he and Krad, and now all he could do was lay in his own growing pool of dark blood and shoot menacing stares at the blonde angel standing before him. Krad's golden hair was matted with dirt and his own blood, as was his usually spotless habit. Krad's eyes were dark with hate, but Dark really didn't care. His life was over anyway, might as well just get the humiliation he deserved before he died.
The woman above him was mouthing something, but he couldn't really tell what it was. Some spell to inevitably ban him to the afterlife, hell, or something worse. Dark was just a common art thief, but when a psychopathic angel like Krad was calling the shots: that was a bit of a different story. Not like he cared where he went, just as long as it was anywhere but here.
He had been happier, at some point in his life. Although growing up had been tough, after his mother cast him off at ten, he learned the ropes of life, and learned to live the rather lavish life of thievery—he could steal whatever he needed for himself, sell the works, and make some rather good money doing it. He had all the women and all the riches he could have ever wanted, but somewhere in his conscious, his mind was telling him that he was doing something wrong. Dark took a long time in putting his finger on it.
He tried everything to quell the loud voice in his head telling him that his thievery was wrong. He went to a psychic, got laid, changed his name, lost his true identity, completely shed his old self (whom he could not begin to remember), and when nothing work, tried suicide. But for some reason, nothing worked.
After he got over his suicide scare, he went on a thieving fast and searched for a way to settle down. He met the girl of his dreams, Kairi, at a local bakery, where she caught him pilfering bread. (his clean stretch didn't last long.) Feeling sorry for the downtrodden angel, she let him take a loaf and some cheese from her father's bakery for several months, until her father found out. But instead of having Dark taken away, he welcomed the unruly teen, then about Daisuke's age, into his home.
The three lived happily for a few years, until Kairi was of the age to wed. Dark obligingly agreed to take Kairi's hand in marriage (her father thought him worthy), until things started to happen.
Dark, at first, just acted a little weird. He paced, became restless, snapped at Kairi and her father (a rather unusual trait for the usually level-headed Dark), and began to just brood. The three continued with the arrangements for the wedding, until Krad appeared.
Krad snatched Kairi literally out of Dark's hands, laid waste to the village, and stole her off to his castle, to wait for Dark, whom he expected to show up, fangs bared, ready to bite off his head.
And he did.
The two battled back and forth for months almost without stop—Dark would take out Krad, Krad would take out Dark, and back and forth they went for months, until Kairi got involved. Having learned a sealing spell from the local bishop in her village, She attempted to take on Krad and seal him away, but he instead turned on her and attempted to murder her. To save her own life, Dark sealed her away (a power he could only use once) in the body of another woman, and then set his sights on Krad, who nearly brought Dark to death, and was now standing afore Dark, tapping his foot impatiently, grinning maliciously and licking his bloody lips every so often, shooting Dark nasty looks.
Dark sighed and shifted his weight, sending waves of pain from his stomach out to every nerve in his body, and flinched at the pain. Krad smirked at the agony his enemy was in, and tried to focus on the situation at hand, but Dark had dealt enough of a deal to him that it was painful just to think about listening, with the blood pounding in his ears.
"Are you listening?" The necromancer snapped, grabbing a handful of Dark's dark hair and pulling his head up. She snarled, her white fangs peeling out from beneath her pale lips. She looked more like a vampire than a necromancer, Dark thought, with her pale skin, dark eyes and black hair, but he thought little of it as she roughly pulled Dark's head up in much the same way.
"You are far more trouble than you're worth, Dark Mousy." She hissed, glancing at the two of them. Dark's eyes were half-lidded and darkness was invading his vision.
"For your stupid disregard for innocent life, I am going to seal you, so you won't cause trouble again." She growled, dropping them both and motioning with her staff.
"Both of you will be sentenced to be locked away, as was the fate of the girl, and will have to cause trouble in some other time period." Dark swallowed saliva that tasted like blood, and Krad stared blankly. She was going to do to Dark what he could easily undo? Dark glanced sideways at the figure of the girl he had sealed Kairi's soul in. She had almost an ethereal air about her—almost as if she was an angel herself, but had just fallen short of it.
"Kairi" Fell from his lips, along with a sigh; despite a tight chest and before the blackness engulfed him. He fell asleep, his battered soul sealed away until he could once again find the love he lost: Kairi.

Youkie's notes: Sorry it's a little rough... I couldn't get it quite right. I meant this more as an introduction to what I think really happened to Dark so all y'all and I are on the same plane, so Chapter 1 should flow a little better (hopefully). This is my first time at as an author, so please bear with me as I learn the ropes. Please R&R!
P.S.S. I know I may have Krad OOC, but please don't kill me. Also, I know I've changed the events that got Dark and Krad sealed, but I needed to so I could get Dark's character right and set up the story a little better. Anyways, READ ON!!!
