Chapter 3: Dinner Time Trouble

Krad: (walks in with Dark) You know Kai, with a title like that your bound to raise a few eyebrows.

Kai: (rolls eyes) What's your point, Krad?

Krad: (smiles as he tunes up his base guitar) No point, just saying.

Kai: Yeah, well, no one asked you

Dark: (playing a few chords on his electric guitar) Do I get to make fun Satoshi in this chapter?

Satoshi: (glares) Don't you always?

Dark: (innocent look) Why, whatever do you mean, Commander?

Satoshi: …

Kai: (looks at the guitars) What's up with the instruments guys?

Dark: (evil smirk) Oh you'll find out, Lil' Kai.

Kai: (looks at Satoshi) Do we even wanna know?

Satoshi: (looks up from reading a book entitled: How to catch phantom thieves for dummies) With those two, probably not.

Kai: (sighs) I don't own D.N.Angel. Thanks to all that reviewed! I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Satoshi: Cuz lord knows I didn't.

Kai: Put a sock in it, Satoshi!

Satoshi rolled his eyes as the chair he was tied to was set in front of a large table filled with every food imaginable. "Wouldn't have just been easier if you had just untied me then retied me?" he inquired after Alex had taken the gag out of his mouth. "Or was that too complicated a process for your simple mind to comprehend?"

Alex chuckled as he took his place at the head of the table. "Well Satoshi, I couldn't give you another chance to escape now could I?" he replied motioning for Dark to seat himself. "Please enjoy the meal." Alex smiled and placed a plate full of food in front of Satoshi as Dark dished himself up.

"I'm tied to a chair you idiot", Satoshi stated raising an eyebrow at the gesture. "How am I suppose to get the food in my mouth?"

"Zoey will help you."

Satoshi glared at Alex as Dark began to snicker at the thought of the Commander being spoon fed by his captors. "This is undignifided", he spat.

"You don't have a choice twerp", Zoë stated holding a spoonful of mash-potatoes in front of Satoshi's mouth, "now be a good boy and open your mouth." Satoshi shook his head and clamped his mouth shut.

"Come on Commander, don't be difficult", Dark said with his mouth full of food, "just think of it this way, you've got a beautiful women willing to spoon fed you while you don't have to lift a finger."

Satoshi glared at the Phantom Thief. "Well Dark, you seem to have put it in perspective for me. I now hate you more then I hate…" Satoshi was cut off by Zoë taking advantage of the situation and sticking the spoon in his mouth. Dark erupted in laughter, nearly choking on his food making Satoshi's blood boil even more. The Commander glared daggers at the two while he finished chewing. "You seem to be getting a great amount of amusement out of the situation, Dark." he spat after he'd finished chewing.

Dark smiled as he wiped the tears out of his eyes. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, Hiwatari."

Zoë smiled as she placed another spoonful Satoshi. "Come on, open up for me again," she said grabbing a hold of Satoshi's injured hand, "because if you don't, I can guarantee you're not going to like the consequences." Zoë squeezed hard on Satoshi's hand causing him to whimper and reluctantly open his mouth.

"So when do I get to find out what my target is?" Dark questioned impatiently as he finished his meal, "I thought you said you were going to cut to the chase?"

Alex smiled. "The artifact I wish for you to steal is called The Staff of Shadows", he replied taking a sip of wine.

"Ooh…fancy title", Dark joked, "So what's so special about this staff?"

Alex shrugged. "That information is unknown even to me I'm afraid", he said tossing a map to Dark. "Use this to guide you Zoë can fill you in on the rest of the details, while I go see to the accommodations of our other guest." Satoshi squirmed as Alex cut the ropes binding him to the chair and roughly pulled him out of it handing him to two guards standing by.

Dark smirked, all this was very amusing to him to say the lest. "Nighty night, Commander!" he called out as Satoshi was dragged from the room.

Satoshi decided not to struggle against the goons holding him considering he found out awhile ago that it did him absolutely no good and only managed to tire him out. He was dragged up to the top of a large glass box and unceremoniously shoved inside with the grate closed behind him. Satoshi's eyes darted back and forth around the enclosure as he tried to piece together what Alex had in store for him. His worst fears were realized however when he heard a familiar sound.

"The hardest thing about getting into this place will be all the motion sensors", Zoë explained as she and Dark walked down the hallway to another room.

Dark gave the girl a smirk. "It sounds like fun to me", he replied, ignoring Dai who was currently screaming inside of his head. How the hell are we going to pull this off, Dark?

Zoë smiled as she turned the doorknob. "Well, if your so confident, then you might enjoy our next little twist to the game", she inquired as the two entered the room.

Krad& Dark: (singing) Daisuke's mom has got it going on! She's all I want, and I've waited for so long!

Kai: (twitches) Cut it out you guys! You're ruining my great cliffhanger!

Satoshi: (face fault) We're going to kill'em.

Daisuke: (nods) Oh yeah, Hiwatari-kun.

Emiko: (smiles) Oh I don't know, Dai-chan, I think it's kinda cute!

Daisuke: MOM!

Kai: (shrugs) I guess it wouldn't be so bad, if they weren't so off key.

Dark: (glares) I am not off key! It's all Krad's fault!

Krad: I'm a way better singer then you are, Mousy!

Satoshi: (chucks his book at Krad's head) Please read and review!

Kai: (hanging on Satoshi) Yeah, what Satoshi-sama said!
