-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dai-chan! Dai-chan! It's time for a quick briefing for your assignment tonight." Emiko's voice rang out through the house.

The redhead gave a groan and dragged himself down the stairs, and into the living room where his mother was waiting for him. He saw his mother holding up a new costume, he sighed and made his way over to his mother.

His mother, as usual, was beyond cheerful, "Let's see, you have to steal the Nekota stone tonight at the town museum. Oh yes, here's your costume! Good luck!"

Daisuke took the costume and put it on and waited for Dark to get out, only, nothing happened. /Dark? Dark, you there/

What?

/We have to steal something again./

Oh.

He was worried, Dark usually heard all the briefings and got out before he was ready, something was wrong. When they reached the museum, the thief found the stone, took it, and was ready to go. Daisuke found it strange that Dark didn't want to play around with the police and make them suffer for a bit, him being the arrogant, over-confident thief that he was.

/Dark, what's wrong/

Hm? Nothings wrong, you're paranoid, have you been eating Risa-chan's cookies again?

/Dark! You're not acting like yourself-and Harada-san's cookies doesn't have anything to do with this./

The thief looked up and smirked. Really now, so you DID eat Risa's cookies, I'm surprised you didn't throw up or anything. Poor Dai-chan, being a guinea pig because of her crush on ME, ahahahahaha. How ironic.

The thief gave a hollow laugh, at least it was enough to get Daisuke off his back. He slowed down and decided to torment the police a bit before he left. When he was about to leave, someone grabbed him by his outfit and spun him around.

/Hiwatari-kun/

No, you got it wrong, it's more like this Dai-chan, "Weird creepy boy!"

/Dark/

Oh ho ho, looks like our little Dai-chan has a crush on the creepy boy hm? You're growing up so quickly, I can't believe it's all happening before my very own eyes.

Dark felt the boy giving off a familiar yet dangerous aura, he looked away and hid the aura away from Daisuke so he wouldn't have to worry more than he already did. Sighing, he cast a sleeping spell over his host. /Dark? What's going on-/

With Daisuke asleep, he was able to confront Hiwatari Satoshi, but it wasn't Hiwatari now was it? It was Hikari…one of the names of the destined day...he straightened his coat out and looked over with a grin set on his face, "Hm? Still trying to catch me huh? Tough luck, you never know when to give up do you?"

Blue eyes narrowed determinately, "I will catch you this time Dark!"

He gave a smirk as he continued to tease the boy, "Don't you ever get tired of saying that?" And with that, he ran to the roof with Satoshi hot on his heels. "Looks like you're pretty serious about catching me this time hm? Well no matter, With!"

The little white creature immediately turned into wings at his master's call, but before he could fly away, something happened to Satoshi. He kneeled over in pain as large white wings sprouted from his back, Dark's eyes widened as a familiar figure stood in front of him. The blonde who replaced the boy looked over with a mocking smile on his face, "Looks like you remember me, Dark. I'm so glad"

Dark gulped visibly as he watched the other, "Krad…"

"Hm? It seems that I haven't been forgotten yet, Dark, I'm honored. Believe me, I'm even happier than that time you tried to seal both of us up and failed miserably, not to mention forced us to live by using a host." Krad laughed, he spoke the kaitou's name with audible hate.

Dark closed his eyes and concentrated, 'I must stay calm, I must stay calm…' Violet eyes opened coldly and spoke emotionlessly, "It's been awhile…Krad…" Golden eyes narrowed, as he turned his head away, Dark heard a soft, "Hmph." The thief tilted his head childishly and grinned. "Well, it's been nice seeing you again, but I've got to go and hand the stone to Emiko before she tries to kill me or something, see you! With!"

Black wings came flying and carried Dark with it, but before he got away, a pair of white wings stopped him. Golden eyes bored into his, "Dark…"

The thief turned his head away silently, not wanting to look at Krad's face, he collected himself, and turned back to the demon with a smirk on. "Yes, that's my name, how may I help you?"

A ball of energy was shot towards him, Dark dodged and glared at the blonde, "Well that wasn't very nice." Krad scowled and got another ball ready, but Dark didn't stick around to see it hit him, "You know, I'd love to stay and play dodge ball with you, but I really must be going. So don't mind if I do. See you later." And with that, he flew away with the stone into the night.

Krad glared as his opposite flew off, he, then gracefully landed on the roof and turned back into Satoshi. 'I'll get you Dark, but I'll kill that annoying boy first. Just you wait…see you later indeed.'

-----------------------------------------------------------

Daisuke laid on his bed in the dark, dark room. Dark handed the stone over to his mother and immediately changed back to him without another word. Ruby eyes blinked/Dark…are you awake…/

No, I'm asleep, zzz…

He couldn't help but feel insulted/Dark/

Please see previous answer, ZZZ…

/Mou...Dark…/

zzz…

He sighed and laid his head on his pillow. Silently, he wondered who the person in white was, the person who he'd seen tonight, the person who created those energy balls and shot them towards Dark. He turned onto his side, and thought quite loudly. /Who was he/

Not giving up, he asked again/How come he had wings like you, Dark/

Dark paused before asking him rather quietly, you were awake?

Daisuke grinned to himself/I thought you were asleep./

The thief scoffed, I was until your ever so loud and disturbing thinking was heard.

/Sorry…/

Never mind that, you were awake the whole time?

The redhead shook his head, but he wondered silently why he bothered to do physical actions when he was speaking through a mind link/No, just part of it, when he started shooting the energy balls./

Oh…

/So who is he? You seem to know him./

He's no one you should care about. That's who he is.

/…at least give me his name…/

Fine, Krad, now let me sleep.

/Krad…ok…goodnight/ It was better than nothing…

Good night…
