Angels in the Outfield
Koway: well, I think that this will be the last chapter for this story. See, nine chapters, nine innings! The baseball comes into play! But if you want me to continue, I can make extra chapters like there are extra innings. Well, Krad got rid of Hiwatari and Dark scored one from his angel and he still needs to give him a present! What could it be? A shirt? The snow globe he saw? Maybe, read and find out!

Chapter 9: The Final Hit
The sun was high in the sky as Krad awoke. His golden eyes squinted as they adjusted to the new light. ((I must remember to get thicker curtains...)) Krad thought to himself and yawned.
When he tried to get up, he noticed something had grabbed onto his hair. "Who in th—" He stopped as he saw the owner of the 'hair pulling' beside him. He smiled, a genuine smile as he gazed at his thief.
((And to think, it only took a few hundred years to realize that I love him…))
Krad gently brushed the strands of purple from his lover's face and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. Dark twitched and slowly opened his eyes.
"Morn'n, angel." He said in a caring tone.
"Oh, are you up now?" Krad teased and Dark gave a nod. "Then I would have to say, good afternoon. It's half passed two."
"Good thing it's Saturday, huh?" Dark stretched as Krad went to the window. He gave a light chuckle and turned around.
"Care to stay for breakfast?" Krad asked as he saw Dark was wrapped in a blanket.
"Breakfast in bed sounds nice…" Dark gave a smirk. "How about it? Oomph!" He was answered by a swift toss of a pillow.
"Hey! That's not fair!"
"Ah but all's fair in love and war, my dear thief." Krad left as Dark threw the pillow at the door.
"I'll get you!" Dark called down to him.
"Whatever you say Dark." Krad laughed and put on a white pair of pants and a teal shirt-sleeve shirt. After, he went into the kitchen to make a breakfast.
(You two had fun last night.)
((So you watched?)) Krad was slightly amused at how his tamer sounded.
(No, I wouldn't do that. It's none of my business anyways.)
Krad let out a sigh of relief after hearing that. ((Thank you, Satoshi-sama.))
(Hn. By the way, you can keep control over my body for a bit longer. I'm still tired from that transportation spell...) Satoshi fell back asleep as he spoke.

/What the hell!/
/What's the matter, Dark?/ Daisuke's voice startled the great thief and he jumped.
/Krad's gift! I can't find it!/
/Did you leave it downstairs?/
Dark practically ransacked the room before answering. /Oh yeah! Maybe it's downstairs! Uh-oh.../ He sweat dropped as he looked at Satoshi's room… "Maybe I should clean it first…"
After much cleaning…
"Dark this is the last time I am going to tell you, open the door or taste a pain unimaginable." Krad was cooking when he heard a loud bang. So far, he had been standing in front of the door for almost fifteen minutes and getting impatient.
"All done!" Dark said cheerfully opening the door.
Krad looked around. Everything was back in place. He glanced at Dark. "You actually cleaned something?"
"Yep! Now let's eat!" Before Krad could say another word, Dark was downstairs.
"He'll never learn…" Krad followed the thief soon after.
"Krad, you're the best cook!" Krad had cooked some pancakes and Dark was on his third helping.
"Will you slow down. I don't want my dear pet to choke." Krad gave a smirk and stood up.
"Where're you going?" Dark asked.
"To take a shower. I'll be back in a few minutes so don't burn down the house while I'm gone."
"Like I could." The angel rolled his eyes and walked upstairs.
/Now's the time to look for the gift./
"Now, where would I leave it…hey! Krad put the baseball in a case." Dark tilted his head. "Not a bad job. It's perfectly positioned."
"Kyu?" Dark quickly turned around. "With! Hey there little buddy. Have you seen a small bag with a golden box inside?"
"Kyuu! Kyu! Kyu! Kyuuuu!" With took off to the other room and Dark followed.
"Kew! Kew, kew, kew. Kew!" Aite hopped beside Dark's leg and the two rabbits pointed to the couch.
Dark bent down and pulled it out. "Hey, you two make great detectives!" Dark opened the box and stared at the item. A long golden chain with two feathers attached to the middle. They formed a circle that held a beautiful purple stone as its center.
/I really hope he likes it.../
/I'm sure he will. When are you going to give it to him?/
Dark smiled and Daisuke had a really bad feeling creep over him…
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Later that day, say around four
Dark had changed into a black pair of pants and a dark violet shirt. He was waiting for the right time to give Krad the gift and left a note for him after breakfast. It said to meet him at the fountain when the sun was setting so Dark had a full day to prepare.
Daisuke had took over and told his mother that he had slept over Hiwatari's house and forgot to call. Hey, it wasn't a total lie, right? Anyway, she dismissed him with a nod and went off shopping with Towa. Daisuke saw that Dark was asleep and went out to sketch some of the scenery.
Daisuke was drawing so long that he lost track of time. The sun was just about to set and he remembered Dark's meeting with Krad. "Oh no I'm gunna be late!" The redhead ran behind a building and turned into his other self.
"Gee! Thanks for the wake up on short notice!" Dark groaned as he summoned With as his wings and took off.
In about a minute later, he arrived at the destination.
"Phew. I made it." Dark let out a sigh of relief as sat on the railing. The cool wind blew past him. It was nice. He held the necklace in his hand and thought of Krad.
"Nice sky out tonight, no?" A familiar voice said from behind.
"I see you showed up. Right on time too." Dark saw the speaker was his angel and walked over.
The sun had set and the moon took its place in the sky. "I have something for you." Dark whispered, giving the angel a warm hug.
"And what would that be?" Krad looked into Dark's warm playful eyes.
"Here!" Dark held the necklace out. Krad could tell he was nervous and looked over his present. He let go of Dark's hug and placed the necklace around his neck. Dark smiled.
"It looks nice on you." He said. "Then again, almost everything looks nice on you."
"Flattery will get you nowhere, Dark." Krad stated with a grin.
Dark rolled his eyes. "However, it will get you this." Krad pulled his lover closer and gave him a long passionate kiss under the gentle moonlight.
