Angels in the Outfield
Koway: well it's up to chapter five already? How the chapters fly…oh, before I continue, I must say that I do know that the two teams I picked were not Japanese and I did mention that they were American. I just picked them because they were the two teams playing that day…sorry for not picking the Tokyo Giants or another team. Well, the rabbit's name is decided and will be revealed in this chappie. I shall thank the reviewers at the end because I've been rambling. Enjoy!

Chapter 5: Heading Towards Home Plate
Krad went into his room. He sat on the bed as he heard Dark pacing around downstairs.
(What's the matter?)
((Nothing, Satoshi-sama...just thinking again.))
(Is it about Dark?)
As if on cue, the little rabbit critter decided to pounce on its master's lap. Kewing softly as Krad stroked its soft dark fur…dark and soft, like Dark's wings of night.
"Kew? Keewww?" the creature looked up as a loud crash was heard from downstairs…
With Dark…
"Shoot!" Dark gathered the broken pieces of glass from the floor.
/Nice going Dark! You broke one of Krad and Satoshi's vases!/
/Well, that rabbit thing just jumped out of nowhere and since I was in a deep thought, I was startled./
/You were in a deep thought. That's different.../
/Will you be quiet! I'll just explain what happened. He'll understand./
"Kyuu?" a small sound was heard from the counter.
"Huh? Oh, what are you doing here, With?" Dark asked, stroking its fur. "I thought I left you at home."
"Kyu! Kyyyuuuu!" The rabbit just let out more kyu's as Dark tickled him.
"Having fun?" a voice asked as two arms went around Dark's waist. The thief never heard him come in.
/Some thief you are. Can't even sense an enemy…/
Dark ignored his tamer's comment and turned as Krad released his hold. With jumped on his shoulder and Dark noticed that two eyes were staring, not just golden ones. Blue were beside them.
"What did you brake, Mousy?"
"B-break? Why, whatever do you mean?" Dark said rather uneasily as Krad pinned him to the wall.
"We heard the crash." Krad smiled at Dark's confused look.
"We?" he asked.
Krad tilted his head to the rabbit on his shoulder. Dark looked and gave a grin. "I didn't know you got a pet."
Krad released his captured prey, mentally cursing himself for doing so. Dark looked the critter up and down before asking, "So, is it a boy or a girl?"
"How the heck should I know? Satoshi-sama made it like that creature on your shoulder. Dark looked at With.
/So, that's how Krad can hide his wings. I wonder if that's how they made With./
"With, can you tell?" Dark asked, pointing to the black ball of fluff.
"You are evading the question my dear thief." Krad said with a smirk as With hopped around the other rabbit.
"Am not."
"Are too."
"I am not!"
"You are too!"
"I am—hey, look at that!" Dark had broken the argument, once again evading the question, to stare at With rubbing Krad's rabbit.
"Now what?" Krad was getting annoyed.
"Kyuuu…" With looked at its new playmate.
"Awe, I think he's found a friend. What its name, Krad?" Dark asked, giving the rabbit a soft tap.
"Umm, well I…"
"You haven't named it yet? What kind of person are you?" Dark watched as With rolled around.
"………"
((What shall I do?))
(Ask Dark, think of a name, and ignore the question…)
"Dark, could you tell me if this creature is a boy or girl?"
"Sure! With, find out. Kyu once for boy and twice for girl, kay?"
"Kyu!"
"So it's a boy?"
"Kyu?"
"A girl?"
"Dark, he was agreeing with you." Krad smirked as Dark gave a nervous laugh.
"Oh, I knew that." Dark answered in a teasing tone.
"Rrriighhht…" Krad rolled his eyes.
With paused and looked at the big blue eyes. His big red eyes to the others, big blue and bottomless.
"Well?" Dark was impatient and Krad just sighed.
"Kyuuuuu!" With bounced around as his heart skipped a beat.
"Congrats, Krad. It's a guy!" Dark laughed and gave his friend a pat on the back.
"Lucky me…" Krad sighed, "Now for a name…"
"Let's name it Hikara!" Dark said in a cheer, "See, it's your last name with an a on the end."
"And to think that I would have been without a clue and spend endless nights wondering about it how you came up with that."
"So is that a yes?"
"No, Satoshi-sama said that I can name the animal and I do not want it to have the Hikari name."
"All right, you win." Dark didn't want to anger his angel and sat down as Krad thought of a name.
"Kew? Kewwwww?" it kew'ed as Krad picked it up by the cuff of the neck.
Krad stared at it for a while before giving a smile. "I'll name you…Aite."
"Aite? Why that name?" Dark asked, tilting his head.
"It means partner or companion and it makes sense that he be With's partner." He turned to Dark, "Just like I'm your partner."
Aite jumped down and With chased him around the house. Krad glanced at Dark and gave a smirk.
