A/N: This is not Shounen-ai this is based on Dark and Krad's relationships and what happened to get them involved in the feud between the Niwas and Hikaris.
Chapter 3: Sickly
Dark held Krad, his older who was now crying in his arms, He figured Krad believed him now by the way he was acting. He could feel Daisuke inside his head, well their head; getting curious. Dark blocked Daisuke, as much as he loved the kid, he didn't want the Niwas to find out. It was a now forgotten secret about Dark and Krad being brothers. Dark smirked to himself, he was amazing. Just one memory could make so many click in his head. Then he felt something sticky on one of the hands near Krad's head. He looked down and saw Krad was bleeding and falling into unconsciousness. Dark cursed silently under his breath. How could he have been so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice Krad's fits? He ripped off a piece of cloth from the silky black fabric of his shirt and wiped the blood off of Krad's mouth and clothes as well as his own clothes. Dark needed to get Krad to change back so his condition wouldn't get worse. It's good Satoshi wasn't affected or Daisuke would be pissed at Dark for bringing Satoshi out. Dark smirked whispering something into Krad's ear making the half-conscious blonde blush and change into Satoshi. Dark smiled. "Still got my touch." He smirked. Dark stood up and gabbed the young Hikari boy that now lay where Krad just was. He smirked leaving his vault. He then called With and flew off towards Satoshi's apartment where he and Daisuke had gone so many times to drop off homework. Dark picked the lock with ease and in just a matter of seconds the door swung open.
Inside the apartment was shrouded in darkness but the phantom thief had no trouble seeing. There were papers and letters all over the living room floor. Upon moving into the small mini-kitchen with Satoshi still in hand Dark saw piles of Chinese food boxes from various restaurants in stacks on the counter and dirty dishes overflowing the sink. Dark moved onto the bedroom passing a surprisingly neat bathroom on the way. It had nothing out of place, which amazed Dark. The bedroom was another mess. Dark set Satoshi down on the bed and started looking for a piece of paper and pen to write with. He found rather elegant white parchment and a white feather pen. Dark grumbled starting to write his note. 'God, where does this kid think he's from 1692. I can understand the pen but the paper! The Creepy Boy has serious issues.' He glared at the paper finishing the note and slipping it into the Hikari boy's hand. Dark left through the window. Dai-chan's parents would flip and call the National Guard soon. Dark strolled back to the Niwa household prepared for whatever they were going to do to him.
"Where the hell were you Dark Mousy! You and Daisuke were supposed to be home a few hours ago!" Emiko shouted being held back by both her father and husband. Dark sighed.
"I'm sorry Emiko-san, Krad followed me and I had some trouble." Dark smiled innocently knowing his lies would work. Emiko sighed.
"Okay, Dark I hate that you had fight that Hikari bastard but it's okay since you protected Daisuke." She smiled. "Now change back and go to bed!"
The next day Satoshi wasn't at school. Daisuke was staring worriedly out the window. 'Dark, why do you think Sato-kun is absent?' Daisuke thought to his other half. Dark sighed in response.
'Because Krad's sick.' Dark said pouting. 'We should bring home their work.'
When Daisuke reached Satoshi's apartment he sighed. What wasn't Dark telling him? He had overheard the whole brothers thing so what wasn't Dark saying. He knocked and waited with no avail.
Dark smirked. 'Pick the lock Dai-chan I'll protect you if Krad's indecent and you can gawk at Creepy Boy if he is.' Daisuke blushed and picked the lock. Upon entering the house he noticed what Dark had seen the night before a mess. Daisuke heard coughing from the back room and had figured Dark had heard it too because he transformed. Dark entered the room quietly and then gaped in shock. The coughing figure on the bed wasn't Krad, but Satoshi instead. "Damn it!" Dark aid walking over noticing his message crumpled up on the floor as he went. "It's spreading!" Satoshi changed and Dark wasn't sure which one felt his presence. Krad lay on the bed now catching his breath from the fit. Dark was crying slightly. Krad sighed.
"Dark, don't worry we'll be okay, with you back now I'll find a way for all of us to live." Krad smiled before coughing again.
Dark shed a few tears before speaking again. "No, Krad I'll find a way!" he smirked. "There is a cure and I will get it; the only way I know how!"
