Hey! And here it is, Chapter 1! There's still the original if anybody still wants to email me for it. It is (damn I have to stop changing that… oh well) or just put your email in your review. (please review).
La la la, I'm soo happeeeee! And to those who think that Hikari is Forever Hunter, I'm not saying your wrong, but here's what I got:
Hikari, n.light, ray, brilliance
Hunt, 1. n. kari (close, not quite)…(more, just too lazy to name them all…none are hikari though)
Hunter, n. hanta… (same as hunt)
Forever, adv. 1. Itsu made mo; eien ni (eternally) 2. Itsumo (always)
And I was not directly referring to Krad's surname.
Now on to the chapter. (I wrote too much.) oh and same disclaimer and warning as last chapter.

Chapter 1
Forever Frozen
Even though I am the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you loved me
I'm all alone

Daisuke Niwa sat looking out the window in his room. The sky was painted with both pastel and bright colors as the sun began to fall in the distance. He was starting to dread turning into Dark. That night his job was to steal the "Magical Night" painting.
It was almost time, so Daisuke dressed in the clothes meant for Dark. He felt his DNA change as he morphed into Dark. The kaitou called for Wiz and they left. Together, Wiz and Dark flew through the foggy night sky.
"Why so quiet today, Daisuke?" Dark asked, smirking.
He didn't answer. It didn't make any difference whether he answered or not. He saw what Daisuke saw and knew what he thought and felt. Daisuke was afraid of losing Satoshi, although, to what, he wasn't sure. Daisuke hadn't told Dark what had happened while Dark had been trapped in the mirror.
The truth was that Daisuke was afraid of losing Satoshi to Krad. Although Satoshi had managed to suppress him for the time being, he knew Krad would return. He wanted revenge.
i
The painting "Magical Night" depicted a starry with a bright moon shining. Toward the bottom was a tinge of pink, suggesting that it either took place right before dawn or just after sunset.
Satoshi Hiwatari was at the museum where the "Magical Night" was located. He was standing in a dark corner watching it, afraid to move his eyes. His attention was drawn away from the painting when a dark figure appeared outside. The Great Kaitou Dark Mousy had arrived!
When Dark entered the room, Satoshi left his post to face him. Facing Dark had been a mistake. He stepped back and doubled over in pain.
"No! Not again!" Satoshi protested.
He couldn't stop it. Krad Hikari appeared in place of Satoshi. He had tried to stop the fallen angel from returning. He thought he'd won. He was wrong. Satoshi's intentions weren't to harm Daisuke, only catch Dark. Krad didn't care if he harmed Daisuke, as long as he got Dark with him.
"K-Krad!" Dark stuttered, shock in his eyes. His expression quickly changed into a smirk, "Well, well, well, if it isn't Krad Hikari. It's been awhile."
Dark's original shock had been because he hadn't seen Krad last time he had appeared. He had figured that Krad was within Satoshi, but his appearance still surprised him. The kaitou moved toward Krad. Dark kissed him, though he got no response from Krad. The fallen angel backed away and smiled evilly.
"You still haven't changed," he sneered, "Though I never expected you to."
Dark smiled, "Well, what can I say? It's impossible.
The great kaitou had been trying to steal the Hikari's heart for centuries. That was why Dark had started stealing their art. He had not started because they were beautiful, which they most certainly were, but because he could never get what he truly wanted from them. What he truly wanted was Krad. Dark smiled slightly, remembering how he had thought Krad was a woman.
Dark was snapped back to reality when Krad sent an icy blue orb at him. The kaitou swiftly dodged it. There was no time to reminisce. He had to get out of there as soon as possible. He had not been expecting Krad to be there. He vowed that the next time they met he would be prepared. For now, he would have to retreat with only the painting. Next time he would steal Krad Hikari's heart.
With his mind made up, Dark sprang into action. He grabbed the painting and jumped out the window. Wiz swooped down and caught him. Shattered glass flew everywhere and Krad stood at the window watching them leave. Dark was lucky that he didn't cut easily, or else he would have been badly injured.
Dark checked to make sure he wasn't being followed. Satisfied, he untensed. Daisuke's voice rang in his ears.
/Who is that Krad guy? And how do you know him/
"I'll tell you, but for now, what do you say we go home?" Dark suggested.
/But-/
"No!" Dark interrupted him.
Daisuke didn't say anything after that. Dark landed softly on the ground and looked around. Pure white snow began falling from the sky. That brought back memories from long ago.
/Flashback/
It was about three o'clock in the morning and most were asleep. Usually the only people who were out at this time were perverts and drunks. This night, however, Dark was also still wide awake. He walked down an empty, dark street, searching for his destination. Finally he saw it. The Hikari Mansion where Krad lived. Dark placed a hand on Wiz's forehead, causing him to change into a black winged beast. They flew up to Krad's window and landed on the balcony.
The kaitou stealthily opened the window and slid inside. He walked over to the bed where Krad lay sleeping. It was strange to see the fallen angel asleep. His regal features were softened and Dark could hear Krad's soft breathing. Dark moved Krad's bangs out of his face and planted a kiss on his lips. Krad's eyes shot open.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he growled.
"I was lonely!" Dark said brightly.
"So? Don't come to me because your lone-" Krad was cut off by Dark's mouth upon his own.
Something about Dark's kiss made Krad want to give in. To give up and let Dark in. But he refused. He was stubborn and pushed the kaitou away.
"Aww, why're you so mean?" Dark asked.
"Get out!" commanded Krad.
"Please!" Dark pleaded, there was a kind of sad look on his face.
Krad unconsciously got up and pulled Dark into his arms and began kissing him. Dark pressed his body against Krad's and put his arms around the fallen angel's neck. Krad guided slowly Dark onto the bed. Then as though he had awoken from a trance, he half dropped the kaitou onto the bed, ending the long kiss.
"Wha-" Dark said in shock.
"You know what? Whatever, suit yourself. Stay here if you want, but don't expect anything from me!" Krad told him.
Dark sighed, but nodded. He scooted over and beckoned for Krad to join him.
"Uh-uh, floor," Krad corrected.
Dark sighed again and moved off the bed. The fallen angel moved onto the bed and quickly drifted off into a deep sleep.
Krad was awoken the next morning to Dark draping his arm over him as he slept. When the Hikari had realized what had happened, he opened his eyes in annoyance. He must have snuck onto the bed in the middle of the night. He pushed Dark's arm off of him and sat up. He looked out the window to see snow falling delicately from the sky. Krad turned and looked at Dark. Why the hell did he let the thief stay? He had never meant to let him get so close. He wanted to stay isolated. Out of all the things he had done, the very last thing he had meant to do was…
Behind Krad, Dark had woken up. He rested his head on the fallen angel's shoulder. The kaitou glanced out the window, taking in the snow. He was oddly silent for a minute, just thinking.
"You're snow," he said softly," Beautiful and light. Cold…but there's one thing about it…at some point it melts."
What's that supposed to mean?" Krad scowled.
Dark smiled, a small, kind of sad smile unbecoming to him, "It means that you're distant to everyone. You show no emotion. Dark explained, "but you can't stay that way forever."
Krad grunted and left the bed.
"I think it's begun," he muttered.
"What?" Krad snapped.
Dark just shook his head and left the bed also.
"Okay, now get out. You've done enough to annoy me," Krad told Dark.
"Aww, but Krad, what did I do?" Dark said innocently.
"Well for one, you got on my bed when I specifically told you to stay on the floor," the Hikari pointed out.
"But, that was uncomfortable!" Dark whined
"Hey, it was your choice to come here," Krad reminded the kaitou.
"Fine!" Dark said, walking over to the balcony, he turned around, "'bye," he said stepping on the railing and falling off.
"No!" Krad shouted.
The fallen angel's wings suddenly appeared and he swooped to catch Dark. The kaitou turned his head toward him, a broad smile on his face.
"Oh, Krad, you do care!" he said.
Krad glared and dropped Dark. He landed face first in the snow. He looked up, his face freezing and covered in white.
"Aww, don't be like that!" Dark yelled.
Krad flew back to his room, fell onto his bed and stared at the ceiling.
Dark was right. Krad was snow. Cold, distant, emotionless snow. And all snow melts eventually. It is inevitable. Krad had begun to melt. Slowly, but steadily, he would thaw. And of all the things…The very last thing Krad had expected…the thing he hadn't wanted to do…Was to fall in love with Dark.
\End Flashback\
Dark looked around. Seeing Krad brought back a lot of memories. Some good, but there were still many that were bad.
\Flashback\
Dark walked through a hall of mirrors. He was once again at a Hikari art exhibit. This was a piece of art. People would come and try to find their way out. It was amusing to them. At least it was in the open hours. It made it practically impossible for Dark to find his target- "The Heart of Light". The thief just smiled. Wandering around a maze was far too boring for him. A purple energy ball appeared in his hand Dark shot it at one of the mirrors. It was a shame to destroy such beautiful art, but he was getting bored He tried blasting his way through at least ten minutes and still hadn't found an exit. He launched another purple orb. This one went strait through so he saw a way out. Dark took off, running as fast as he could. He didn't pay attention where he was running, causing him to run into a mirror that had reappeared
"Damn it!" Dark cursed, "I really need to pay attention to what's in front of me."
He threw another energy ball and ran toward the door. He stopped just short of another mirror. Dark should have made it to the door already. It was like He was running in place. Then he had a thought. What if there was another door? He changed his direction and found the next mirror. Dark shot another purple orb at it. This time all of the mirrors disappeared. The kaitou smiled and walked to the door. He opened it and walked into the room. This one held his prize. A beautiful heart-shaped necklace with a lot of intricate detailing. He removed the glass casing and picked up the necklace. Krad stepped out of the shadows.
"Yuki," Dark muttered, referring to how Krad was snow-like.
Krad threw a blue orb at Dark the kaitou dodged it just in time. Krad leaped at Dark
while his guard was down, pinning him to the ground. Dark froze.
"Did you think things would be different?" Krad sneered, "I'll still kill you."
A blue glittering orb appeared in Krad's hand His hand moved toward heart. His eyes widened in fear and Krad felt a twinge of sadness and guilt. That was probably why Dark had been able to throw Krad off of him just in time. The kaitou quickly fled Krad stayed behind, glaring at the floor. Why couldn't he kill him?
Dark ran out of the building, clutching the necklace in his hand He sighed Maybe he had been wrong... maybe Krad would stay the way he was ...forever frozen.
\End Flashback\
/Umm… Dark, can we please go home, and would you give me my body back/
Daisuke's voice broke through Dark's thoughts. It took a minute for him to remember what was going on exactly. Then he sighed, and without saying anything relinquished his
power over the body to Daisuke. The red haired boy then walked home.
Whether the snow would melt. Dark did not know, but he would keep hoping it would
And if I breathe
I breathe knowing you don't care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there
