A/N: Hi! Thanks again for the lovely reviews! Umm… I've nothing more to say… You know, I typed this all up a month ago and I just re-read it, so yeah, I've been able to correct a couple of the mistakes I make. Grr! I have two major projects due and I have to study for the exams! I have no more free time anymore! Anyway, here's the new and improved second chapter!
----------------------------------------------------Chapter 2-------------------------------------------------------
Satoshi broke eye contact and looked away, rubbing the back of his head. "You… you've changed," he said, a bit uncertainly.
Daisuke's heart was racing, torn between two different emotions. Part of him wanted to run over to Satoshi and kiss him, to feel Satoshi's body pressed against his own, to forgive him, to be with him and re-live that night they had shared two years ago, but the other part of him wanted the complete opposite. In the end, rage over-powered love. Daisuke glared at Satoshi and began to walk past him.
Satoshi reached out and took Daisuke by the hand, stopping him. "Daisuke… I'm so sorry!"
Daisuke was furious. He yanked his hand away from Satoshi, wishing he could punch him. "Don't you dare touch me," he hissed. "You damn bastard! You tricked me into thinking that I was in love with you! You used me and left without a trace when you were through!"
"I'm sorry," Satoshi whispered, his voice choked with tears, "I'm so sorry! Please Daisuke, understand. I got scared and panicked!"
"Do you honestly think you were the only one who got scared? Damn it Satoshi, after you left I felt so worthless and pathetic that I-" Daisuke stopped in mid-sentence. "Never mind… Just do me a favor and go back to wherever it was you had disappeared to, and this time, stay there!"
Daisuke could see the pain that flashed through Satoshi's eyes. He sighed, but did as Daisuke wanted and began to walk away. He stopped a few feet away.
"Daisuke," he said without turning around to face him, "I want you to know that I really did love you… I still love you."
Daisuke transformed in spite of himself. Dark sighed and walked up behind Satoshi. "He didn't mean… most of the stuff that he… well yeah he did mean it… Never mind."
"You really know how to cheer a guy up, don't you?" Satoshi said sarcastically.
Dark hugged him. "He does love you, even if he's too stubborn to admit it," he whispered into Satoshi's ear. He let go of him and took a step back.
Satoshi turned to face him. "Do you think I still have a chance of getting him back?"
Dark smiled. "You might, I mean, for a creepy bastard, you ain't half-bad," he said, giving Satoshi a playful punch in the arm before beginning to walk away.
"Hey Dark… Thanks."
"No problem-o!" Dark called over his shoulder, giving a short wave good-bye.

Daisuke walked through the town after school, trying to clear his head. The only thing he seemed to be able to think about was what had happened that morning… And how hot it was in his uniform ('Damn this weather!'). He wasn't paying attention to where he was going and took a wrong turn down an alleyway, running into a group of some seriously evil looking guys.
"Watch it!" the one he had bumped into, a tall guy with dirty, shoulder-length brown hair, said.
"Wait," another one, this one with black-hair to his hips and lots of piercing, said, walking up to Daisuke. He stood beside Daisuke and placed an arm around his shoulders. "You said you were bored, right? So let's have some fun with this brat before we let him leave."
Daisuke shrugged the guy's arm off and took a step back. "Sorry guys, I ain't like that," he said. He turned around and came face-to-face with yet another one of the guys. 'Shit, I'm surrounded,' he thought, panicking.
The black-haired guy wrapped his arms around Daisuke from behind, pinning Daisuke's arms to his side. "I didn't say you had a choice in the matter," he whispered into Daisuke's ear, his voice growing hoarse.

Krad was flying around, not really caring about the random pedestrians who saw him. He needed to think. Landing onto a rooftop to rest, he heard some strange noises coming form a nearby alley. 'I wonder what that is,' he thought and went to investigate. He peered down into the small alleyway and gasped. Some jerks had Daisuke pinned to the ground, forcing him out of his clothes. 'Daisuke!'
Krad jumped into the alley. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Krad shouted, outraged. 'How dare they try to rape Daisuke!'
'Like you did?' Satoshi asked.
Krad ignored him and grabbed the nearest guy by the shirt, throwing him against the wall. The other guys raced forward, obviously trying to gang up on him. Krad took flight and the guys ended up tripping over each other.
"That freak's got wings!" a brown-haired guy shouted. They all began to try and escape.
Krad swooped down and picked up the black-haired guy that he assumed was the leader (he had stood to the side while the others attack, but was the first to try and escape) and flew as high as he could go, yet still keep Daisuke in sight. "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you," he hissed.
"Look, I'm sorry, I won't do it again, I swear! In fact, we didn't really do anything, you stopped us before we could, but you can't really blame us for trying, I mean, your friend is pretty cute," the black-haired guy said and continued to ramble on.
"So close, but wrong answer," Krad smirked as he loosened his grip on the guy's shirt, "I'll give you one more try. Why shouldn't I kill you?"
"Angels can't kill!" the guy said desperately.
"Like hell we can't…" Krad let go and the guy fell, screaming, to the ground. "Besides," Krad said with a short laugh, "I ain't no angel…"
'Krad…?'
'Don't worry Satoshi; I didn't kill him. He survived the drop.'
Krad flew down and picked up Daisuke, who was unconscious, and carried him off to Satoshi's apartment.
(Passing Time)
Krad entered the small, two-room apartment, went to the second room (the bedroom), and carefully laid Daisuke down on the bed. He hesitated, then gently kissed Daisuke's lips.
Satoshi stood up. He smiled at the sleeping redhead before walking to the door that led to the other room. With one last glance at Daisuke, he turned off the lights and left the room.
'Krad… Why did you transform?' he asked, sitting down at his computer desk.
'…'
'Y-you like him, don't you?'
'Yes.'
'How do you go from raping and killing someone to being in love with him?'
'… At first I thought it was just lust. That's another reason I got so pissed off that night,' Krad said, referring to the night before the "Time Mirror" incident.
'So when did it turn to love?'
'I dunno, I guess it was always love… I had confused my feelings of love to be just lust.'
'… Sometimes I wonder if I've confused the two…'
'You didn't. As much as I hate to admit it, you love Daisuke more than anyone else in the world.'
'Then how come I rarely transform around him?'
'Simple, I don't let you. I almost always fade out when you two are around each other so that you can't transform.'
'Oh… Well, umm, thanks I guess,' Satoshi said. Suddenly, he jumped up, smiling. 'Hey Krad, does this mean that you've given up on me?'
'Satoshi how could you say such a thing? My love for you burns with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns!'
'Wait, you're quoting a cartoon show to say you love me?'
'Satoshi, I will love you forever, even though I know you'll never feel the same.'
'Krad please don't start up with that again,' Satoshi sighed, sitting back down. 'I'm gonna start doing my homework, ok?'
'Whatever,' Krad yawned as he faded out.
Satoshi turned to his computer and began working. A few minutes later his mind started to wander and he found himself gazing at the door to his room, where Daisuke was. He wondered what would happen if—'No!' he shouted at himself, blushing. Sighing, he returned his attention to the computer and continued his work.

A/N: The chapter's over! The quote Krad used was from an episode of "The Fairly Odd Parents" (I love that show!). I was listening to that one Fefe Dobson song "Kiss Me Fool" over and over and over and over and over again! And I'm still listening to it as I type this! I love it! Yeah, from Chapter 3 on it's all basically one big romance novel. I'm gonna get yelled at by editor 2, but I can't think of anything more to type, so I'll stop and let you guys get on with either A. Reading the fan-fic if the next chapter's up, or B. Go about doing whatever. I'm tired… bye… Wait! Before I forget, I added another thing. It's # # # and it's like a flash. You know, you're watching a movie and something's happening when FLASH something else is happening and then it goes FLASH to another scene. You all know what I'm talking about right? Good, you do. If you don't, you do, got it? Good.
