Whee! Inspiration is good! I just wish it didn't come RIGHT before I go to work XP
For my comments:
Kouseki Yume: I'd LOVE to put them in their sexy outfits, really I would! Though I don't think it's a matter of their luck . It's more like Krad's special ability or something. But my only quirk with that is how much of Dark you get to see in the anime. Every time you see Daisuke change, Dark was wearing Dai's clothes. It really irked me how Krad changed in ep 4.When Krad changed he got his own wings and clothes, but when Dark changes minutes later he is still in Daisuke's uniform. Why does Krad get his own outfit? Sexy, yes, but come on, you KNOW you would have loved to see him in Satoshi's school uniform . Really, I always found it weird and thought that they should keep the clothes their tamers were wearing. Even in the manga Dark keeps Dai's clothes on. (Though he does magically get a turtleneck under the uniform top…which somehow comes unbuttoned) I can't find Krad's transformations in the manga, but to my knowledge he does change his clothes magically (along with get his own wings), but for the sake of this fic it really isn't fair. You know you want to see Krad in girly clothes too! lol I'm still trying to decide which one would look girlier in a dress. XDDD
(this is just one of my irks with the series. Dark never gets a nifty transformation scene how Krad does. I wanna see Dark transform like that! XP )
Shikaido Yuki: Trust me they will get better clothing soon! I will find a way!
Devi-Seraphim: I dunno. Krad might just need a hug. Or maybe he just needs to get laid. Yeah, that's probably it. Damn sexual frustration, hes taking it out on his sexy counterpart who can get any girl he wants. XDDDD Hmm…you just gave me a very good idea…. He might just get to win once…
Here's Chapter 8!

Chapter 8: Fair Battle
"WIIIIIIIIIIIIZ!"
- - -
BANG!
"Fireworks already?" Emiko said as she caught a glimpse of the flash of light in the sky.
"They were supposed to start at 9, its early then," Daisuke said, slightly confused.
"No, look!" Satoshi jumped up as he saw what really caused the light. One of the cars in the Ferris wheel was still shaking and it seemed to be broken open. There were a few screams coming from the area as well. Satoshi was pointing at the sky, however, at two winged beings ascending from the wheel, one black the other white. "Shit, it's them!"
"And it looks like Dark is trying to draw Krad away from the crowed. I knew he would," Daisuke said, distressed, though slightly relieved. He almost expected the two enemies to fight in the middle of the fair. He knew Krad probably tried, since it was his light that freed them from the ride car, but he also knew Krad had the upper hand. Dark wouldn't attack, not in a place like this, and deffinatly not knowing Yume was still there. Daisuke remembered a time long ago when he had told Dark to hold back his attacks when he knew he was hurting Satoshi, and Dark listened rather well. Knowing Yume was most likely feeling anything Krad felt, Dark wouldn't lay a finger on her. "Let's go."
- - - -
-Brace yourself, Ayame, you will feel his attacks. I can't keep them all from hurting you, so be ready. I'm telling you now, if I have to attack— -
-No! Dark, you can't attack! Yume's still there, I know she is! If you hurt him, you'll hurt her too, right? You can't hurt her!-
-Look, I may not have a choice! I don't want to, believe me, but I wont have a choice if he keeps attacking like this!-
Dark was clearly distressed. Krad was launching attacks directly at him and he was having a hard time dodging them while trying to get the fight away from the fair. It wasn't even just the fair Dark was worried about anymore; it was everyone. If he brought Krad towards the city, they would surly cause a commotion there, and there wasn't much choice of anywhere else to go. The bay would have to do.
Dark led the battle towards the water, still swiftly dodging the golden attacks coming from behind him.
"Why Dark, why don't you stick around? It's been so long since we've been able to play like this, hasn't it?" Krad taunted as one of his attacks hit its target's back. "Unless you've taken to being a coward now," he smirked.
Dark fell a little ways toward the ocean before he regained flight. Wiz was more shaken up than Dark though, being that it was he that took the bulk of the attack, which was the cause for Dark's slight fall.
"I'm no coward, Krad, I never was and never will be. Unlike you, I just happen to like keeping my tamer around!" Dark yelled. "As long as you have control over her, you don't even care if she likes you or what you are doing, that's no way to live."
"And you think its acceptable to live as someone else's shadow for generations? Feeding off their emotions and their lives? I know you still crave it as much as I do, Dark! You, too, want a vessel of your own instead of relying on another's life. We feel the same longing for life and death, the same wish for mortality—"
"Your wrong!" Dark cried, cutting off his enemy. "You and I are not the same, nor do we even wish for the same thing anymore. Don't assume that I still have those deluded dreams from so long ago. I don't care if I have to live as someone else's shadow anymore, Krad. Perhaps I do want my own freedom, but its not something I would kill for."
"Ha! Such silly words. Don't deny your own dreams, Dark. Now come and fight me like a man, you coward!" Krad sent another sharp bolt of light towards Dark, and unfortunately he wasn't expecting it as he should have and didn't move as fast as he could have. It skimmed his left arm, sending crimson blood dripping down his arm as he cringed in pain. Dark could feel Ayame's tears burning inside of him; surly she could feel it as much as he could. This was getting bad, and he knew he couldn't let it get any worse.
-I'm sorry Ayame…- Dark said quietly as he moved his hands together, or tried, as his left arm wasn't moving too well due to the mass of pain located near his shoulder. He created a violet surge of energy in which he aimed at the white angel before him. He heard Ayame cry out begging him to stop, knowing Yume would surly feel the pain as she had, but the bolt had already been released. Dark knew she would hate him for this, but it had to be done.
The bolt caught the cocky Krad off guard, hitting him in the chest. He had attempted to dodge it, but it proved futile, as he didn't move fast enough. It hit him in the chest, sending him backwards and knocking the breath out of him. As he gasped for breath, he fell to the dark water below him, losing control and letting Yume take over as they went under.
"Wait on shore, Wiz," Dark said emotionlessly, dismissing his familiar momentarily. As he released his wings he dove into the darkness beneath him, keeping his eyes open for the young girl who was surly knocked out. He found her quickly and brought her to the surface, hoping she was unhurt.
-Is she…?- Ayame started, but could not finish.
-No, luckily.-
-Luckily? LUCKILY? What were you thinking, attacking like that? You could have killed her like that!-
"He was caught off guard, he didn't expect me to attack. It wasn't a strong attack, but it did more damage than it should have because he didn't expect it.- Dark paused midway to shore and looked at Yume, realizing she wasn't breathing. Being the expert kisser he was, Dark locked his lips with hers and gave her some freaky magical CPR which really flipped Ayame out.
-Don't kiss her like that! She's my cousin!-
-Well, how else do you think I'm going to make her breath again? And don't remind me, I don't really feel like realizing that I'm actually related by blood to that creep now.-
Yume coughed and opened her eyes groggily. She wasn't quite lucid yet, which in a way, Dark was thankful for. The girl would probably have tried to kill him or something. He walked onto shore, drenched now, and still holding Yume.
-Wiz, lets go.-
The little rabbit "kyuu"ed and transformed, clinging to his masters back and flew off into the night sky.
Upon returning to the Niwa residence, Dark found a horribly worried family who had been waiting very impatiently for them to return and, after tending to Yume's needs, pressed him for details on the battle. While Dark retold the tale, Emiko tended to his wound and Ayame slowly found sleep deep within the solace of their minds.

Well, this chapter was a little darker than I had hoped…and took a lot longer too . ; Battle scenes, I'm finding, are rather difficult to write XP But it worked out in the end…
Next chapter will be laugh filled, I promise! Just think: PMS. Need I say more? That's all the hints you need.
Soon to come: Like said, PMS, soon another battle (perhaps 2 more chapters till then), occurrence of one freaky pairing, maybe more than one, and lots of laughs. I hope . ; it's going to be a darker story than I had planned, but when you have Krad going on a rampage every chance he gets, its sort of hard to do.
Other characters I plan to bring back: Kosuke, since I haven't even mentioned him, have I? o.0 Perhaps even Hiwatari…at least a mention of him. I don't know what I can do with him yet…(Hiwatari as in Satoshi's adoptive father) heh, chaos will ensue, I'm sure!
