Kai: (smiles) Okay, I think we let the reviews sit in suspense long enough, don't you agree?
Satoshi: No, but then again I don't really like what's going on in the story.
Kai: (huggles Satoshi) Oh come on now, don't be like that.
Satoshi: …….
Yami Bakura: (dives into the reviewer box) Look! Someone loves me! (holds up Tuski Fox's review)
Kai: (raises eyebrow) She only asked about you, that doesn't mean she loves you.
Yami Bakura: (glares) Don't you burst my bubble, Kai!
Malik: (walks up behind Yami Bakura and pops his bubble) Heheheh…
Yami Bakura: (Chases Malik) Ishtar! I'm gonna kill you!
Kai: (sighs) Anyhoo… Back to answering the reviews.
Jukka Bushtail: I'm glad you like my fic so much, I hope you enjoy this chapter as well.
Tuski Fox: You'll find out in this chapter how the pull it off, and Yami Bakura is back for your viewing pleasure. Why you would want him I have no clue.
Seto: You like him just as much.
Kai: Shut up Seto-sama!
Tsukino-Nichi: I'm updating…I wish to keep my head. (smiles)
Mergic: Yeah I'm glad they didn't decide to sing this chapter, otherwise I might have to kill someone.
Krad: We are not that bad, Kai!
Dark: Yeah, what Krad said.
Satoshi: (shaking his head) Poor, poor me. Kai doesn't own D. N. Angel, please R& R.

"What the hell are you trying to pull, Alex?" Dark demanded as he eyed the glass box that was slowly filling with water. "You told me before you weren't going to hurt him."
Alex laughed as if what Dark had said was a joke. "I shall keep my promise, Dark", he replied tapping on the glass, "just as long as you return before the tank fills up with water and Satoshi drowns."
Dark growled. "How long?" he questioned looking at Satoshi, whose eyes were filled with fear.
"I'd give it 24 hours", Alex answered folding his arms.
Dark smirked. "More then enough time, now if you'll excuse me I have to go have my mommy write me a note", he said walking away. "Don't worry Commander; I'll have you out of there before you know it."
Satoshi sighed as he slumped against one of the sides of the box. "I'm doomed", he muttered to himself.
You still have me Satoshi-sama. a voice in the back of Satoshi's head reminded him.
Satoshi growled. "I won't let you out!" he snapped quickly.
The voice seemed to chuckle at the statement. Of course, you would choose the thief over me wouldn't you little one, it stated.
"What other choice do I have?" Satoshi asked, wincing as his injured hand began to throb as the icy water touched it.
Me? Let me free and you won't have to worry about them harming you again.
"Go away!"

"Oh Dai, I'm so proud of you!" Emiko exclaimed hugging Daisuke to her chest, "picking out your own targets like that!"
Daisuke sighed. "Yeah, that's great mom", he remarked trying to pry his mother off of him, "now will you please write the warning letter, my friend's life is in danger."
Emiko raised an eyebrow. "Friend Dai?" she repeated, "What friend?"
"Hiwatari-kun", Daisuke answered averting his eyes knowing his mother would not be please at him trying to rescue the last of the Hikari clan.
"Satoshi Hikari!" Emiko yelled frowning at her son. "He can rot in hell for all I care, him and that Krad."
"MOM! He's my friend!" Daisuke shouted annoyed. "Can you please just do this one thing for me?"
Emiko's features softened at her son once again. "Well, if the Hikari's life is truly that important to you Dai, I'll write the letter," she replied.
Daisuke smiled. "Thanks mom, you're the best!" and with that the redhead ran upstairs to get read for the night's heist.

"Are you really going to let him go, Alex?" Zoë questioned as she watched Satoshi play with the bandage around his hand. "I was hoping I could play with him a little more", she put on a pouty face.
Alex simply smiled as he ran his fingers through Zoë's hair. "He'll probably be dead before the thief even gets back my dear," he stated also looking at Satoshi, who was glaring daggers at them now hearing his name be in their conversation, "but, if it makes you feel any better you can mutilate his dead body."
Zoë's eyes lit up. "Oh really, Alex?" she said, "That's so sweet of you!"
Alex nodded before kissing her. "Why not", he replied, "you could even stick his severed head in a hand basket and send it to his father at police headquarters."
Why don't they just get a room? the voice stated, appearing once again to Satoshi.
"For once we agree on something, Krad," Satoshi replied in disgust.
Well, it would appear that you're still in a bad mood, Satoshi-sama.
"I'm about to die with you still stuck in my head, and you except me to be jumping for joy."
Krad pondered this thought for a moment before replying. Good point, Satoshi-sama, but I can still get you out of here.
"My answer is still no, Krad."
Fine, have fun drowning.
"Only, if it will get rid of you."
Alex smiled as he turned off the lights leaving only a candle to light the room. "You should get some rest, Satoshi," he said as he and Zoë left the room, "though I wouldn't suggest lying down."

Dark smiled as he entered the room where the Staff of Shadows was being held. "There it is Dai, the Staff of Shadows", he said as he typed in the access code to get inside the glass the staff was in, "quite a beautiful piece of art."
Daisuke rolled his eyes, once a thief always a thief he guessed. Dark, would you please get back to the task at hand? he asked.
Dark chuckled to himself. "Right, steal the Staff, save your creepy boy lover", he joked picking up the staff off its holder causing the purple orb on top to begin to glow brightly.
What did you do, Dark!
Dark shook his head as the wind began to pick up. "I didn't do anything, Dai!" he replied, "The damn thing just activated on its own!"
Well turn it off! Daisuke shouted. Doesn't it come with like an on/ off switch?
"I doubt it", Dark stated as the staff began to quiet itself, "Well would yah look at that, the Staff seems to like you, Daisuke."
Is it just me, or does this job seem way too easy?
"It's not just you, trust me on that one", Dark commented as he took off towards the exit with the staff safely in his possession, "something's not right, and I'm guessin it has something to do with that thing." Dark pointed at a creature that looked like some kind of rabid dust bunny.
Dark, what is that thing? Daisuke question suddenly very thankful that Dark was in control at the moment.
Dark shook his head. "I have no idea, Dai," he said taking off again, "but I'm not sticking around to find out."

What will you do when the thief and his tamer don't come back for you, Satoshi-sama? Krad asked as Satoshi continued to tred water so that he didn't drown. Or are you ready to admit that you have only me to depend on?
Satoshi frowned; he could feel his body begin to tire from having to constantly move. "He'll come Krad, just watch," he said as he tried to keep his mind off the prospect of drowning.
Krad laughed at the boy. Do you honestly still believe that, little Satoshi? he inquired. Need I point out that you're already up to your neck in water?
"I wish you came with a mute button."
Krad sighed, seeing that he was getting nowhere with his tamer. Fine, but when you lose consciousness, control of your body is mine, he stated before leaving Satoshi alone with his thoughts again, I will not allow you to die while Dark still breathes.

Satoshi: (sighs) Great, now you're talking about severing my head
Krad: And she wants to put it in a hand basket, don't forget that, Satoshi-sama.
Kai: (rolls eyes) So nice to see you're being enthusiastic about the fic, Satoshi.
Satoshi: I see no reason for me to be, Kai
Kai: (shrug) Now on to more important matters
Satoshi: Like freeing me?
Kai: Writer's block! And bugging Seto
Seto:...
Satoshi: so nice to see I'm on the top of your list of priorities
Kai: (holds up one of Krad's feathers) See how you like this writer's block!
Satoshi: where did you get that?
Kai: Krad's malting
Satoshi: Oh, so that's why he's so pissy
Krad: I heard that.
Yami Bakura: Please R/R! and stay tuned to see who wins in the writer's block vs lil kai!
Satoshi: (scoffs) Yes, because that's so much better then seeing if I die or not!
Yami Bakura: It's not that we don't want to know, we just don't care.
Bakura: Yami, be nice
Yami Bakura: Shut up, Yadonoshi!
