Me:...
Dark: Well aren't you going to say something to your readers? Like an apology for taking so long, or why the hell you took so long?
Me: Writers block?
Dark: ...lame excuse.
Me: Well it's yours and Krad's fault, then I blame the manga for taking so long to come out, and making me lose myobssesive intrest in D.N.Angel.
Dark: My fault? You're the one who can't write action scenes and keep Krad andme in character...
Me: Shut up...you're giving too much info.
Dark: Then apologize and get the story started!
Me: Yeah, sorry for taking so long folks. You all are probably dying to see what happens next or have forgotten the story already.
Anyways, I promise that I'll update the next chapter before the month finishes, as a reward for you guys. Oh and Otaku-Kitsune, since it's been over a month since you offered, I was wondering if you still wanted to be my Beta, that way I can send you the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own D.N.Angel, nor do I plan to...unless it's given to me for free :D
Intermission: Dark and Krad!
Tap tap...tap tap...tap..tap tap tap...
...tap tap tap tap tap!
"I think I've found him sir!"
A young man yelled into his walkie-talkie, full of alert. Judging by the expression on his face, he was probably new to the force.
Tap tap tap tap!
"Where he is? He's on the second floor and..."
He looked around, shadow covering his once lit face. He lowered the device and looked up, as if expecting something to fall out of the roof.
"Where'd he go?" The same man walked a few steps, checking left to right. After about a minute, he mumbled something into the radio way and continued to search around, just to be sure. A loud sigh.
"Heh, I'm so nervous, I must be seeing things..." he said to himself before walking off and dissapearing around the corner.
Tap..tap...tap..tap...
Dark wiped away some sweat off his face with relief. He had been careless, he admitted, but also very lucky. Dark turned to his companion, who gave a soft kyuu, and petted him. The poor thing was probably scared as well. "Wiz, why don't you create a distraction for me, while I do the rest? If I need you, I'll call you, okay?"
The small creature seemed to think over his task, before emitting a, "Kyuu Kyuu!"
Dark smiled as he opened the ventalation he had hidden himself in, and jumped out, landing quietly on the stone floor. Dark watched as Wiz transformed himself, and bounded to the left, before he himself headed right.
The thief had a good idea to were he was going, and it wasn't too far away. He ran through a few more hallways, before hearing the alarms go off and the voices of people shouting. Dark mever worried much about about Wiz in their missions, but he hoped the small thing didn't get caught too easily. Afterall, Dark wasn't quite sure if how long this was going to take, or even if it was going to take anytime at all.
Finally he reached his destination, which a bit surprisingly, was unlocked, and peered inside. When he didn't see anyone, slowly, he opened the door and took a deep breath.
This was it.
The room itself, wasn't really big. It had one large window, a few artifacts, and then the object he was looking for.
In the center of the room was a podium, with a small glass box on top of it. Inside the box, was a stand holding two keys, connected to a large golden ring, that was shimmering brightly, regardless of the fact that there was no light in the room.
Dark carefully walked up to it, making sure there wasn't any traps, and when he didn't find any he frowned. Maybe he didn't come?
He removed the glass box, setting in gently on the floor and sighed.
"Did you seriously think I'd let you steal the Key's of Destiny so easily, and walk off?" A voice sounded, almost sneering.
Dark's head snapped up to find an angel, with golden eyes, staring at him curiously from the other side of the keys. Dark couldn't help but smirk.
"I thought it was strange...but I'm gald you could make it...Krad."
"Quit fooling around theif, I have no time for your foolish games!"
Before Dark could respond, Krad flew into him and pushed to the nearest wall, knocking over some glass china and other valuable art pieces to shatter on the floor.
"And I was having so much fun..." Dark's voice replied, sounding pained. He could see a look of amusement in Krad's eyes.
Krad grabbed Dark's throat and lifted him in the air, so that they met eye to eye. Dark's hands gripping Krad's arms tightly, begging for release.
"You think this is all fun and games, theif? If that's what you believe, I think it's about time I have a little fun..."
The blond glared at Dark, before throwing him into another wall, one-handed, effortlessly. Dark crashed into the wall and landed on the floor with a loud thud. His whole body ached, but he had come here for a reason, and had known from the start, that he was probably going to have to endure some pain. He winced as he stood, carefully watching the angel before him, walk up to him casually.
Without warning, Dark ran up to Krad and grabbed him by the wrist hard. Too stunned to react, Krad felt Dark throw him against the same wall, knocking over some paintings, and trap him there with his wrists high above his head.
"Now listen..." Dark was panting by now, and had to take a deep breath before continuing.
"I'm not here to really steal the artifact..." Dark thought for a second, "You could almost say that I'm here to share it."
Krad stopped resisting Dark, to give him a look of confusion.
"What are you talking about?"
"You do know what the thing does right?"
"Of course I do!" Krad was starting to sound angry again.
"Well then...let's make a bet!" Dark declared, almost cheerfully, which seemed to anger Krad even more.
"A bet? Why should I make a bet with you, phantom theif?"
Dark chuckled. He had obiously prepared for this statement earlier.
"Let's just say, that if you win, which I doubt, you'll get what you've been wanting for, all these years!"
"What do you mean?" Dark looked at his opposite more seriously now.
"You get a wish Krad, anything you want, and these will make sure we don't cheat."
Removing one hand from Krad's wrist, but still holding on to them with one hand, he pulled out the Keys of Destiny, to Krad's amazement, from his pocket.
Krad seemed stare at the pair of keys dangling in front of him for a long time. Dark could tell he was considering his offer, but he wasn't sure of whether Krad would agree or not.
"...What if you won? What would you get out of this?"
"The same thing. A wish."
Maybe this would work...
"What exactly is it that we are going to be betting on?"
Dark smiled at Krad mischievously.
"Can Hiwatari hear us?"
"No, he's passed out...why?" Krad watched Dark curiously.
"Good, my tamer can't either..."
"Would you just hurry up! What does Niwa and Satoshi-sama have to do with this anyways?"
"Patience Krad. The less you talk, the faster this will be."
Krad looked ready to kill him, which made Dark cough nervously before continuing.
"Anyways, I've noticed for quite a while now, that obiously...Hiwatari has been crushing on my poor, cute, Daisuke-kun!" Dark said, sounding like he was a mother complaining.
"The boy's helpless. Afterall, your tamer is as straight as can be-"
"Oh, I'm not so sure of that anymore," Dark interrupted, "Lately, he's been thinking about a certain blue haired boy." Dark sniggered, "Nothing beyond G rated things though..."
"Your lucky...you should see some of the things Satoshi-sama has been coming up with lately..." Dark thought he saw Krad wince.
"So what exactly are you suggesting?" Krad had recovered from his thoughts and was now rising an eyebrow.
"Oh..just that we play a little bit of matchmaker and bet on who will ask who out first. It'll be quite fun actually...Well?" Dark sounded as anxious as a little boy.
"Hmm, Once Satoshi-sama finds out, he'll ask first of course..." Krad smirked, which caused Dark to frown.
"I forgot to mention... the only rule is that we can't mention any of this to them, like telling them about their secret crushes on each other, or the bet."
"Sounds fair, and we'll use the keys to make sure we keep our word right?"
Dark smiled, letting go of Krad, and handing him a key.
"Exactly."
"And what if they don't get together?"
The theif thought it over for a minute
"Nobody wins, but we don't want that now, do we?" Dark said as he held out his key.
"I bet that Daisuke-kun, will ask Satoshi-kun out first." he grinned.
Krad rubbed his sore wrists before holding out his key as well, placing it infront of Dark's
"And I bet that Satoshi-sama will be the first to ask the Niwa out."
It was then that the both keys started to glow in unison. Dark and Krad began reciting the ritual, which caused a bright ring to form around them and then slowly dissapear.
When the keys had stopped glowing, both of them placed the keys in their pockets and stared at each other. Krad looked determined to win and Dark smirked, before turning away.
"Well, I'm off!"
Dark sped towards the window and opened it, but before jumping out, he gave Krad one last glance.
"You know, I'm kind of surprised you actually agreed with this, and are accepting their relationship..."
"I have my own reasons, theif. By the way, this doesn't change anything between us..."
Dark shrugged and jumped, black jacket swishing from behind.
"With!"
Krad frowned as the theif dissapeared into the night, once again escaping his clutches. It wasn't very long though, before he himself, flew off, leaving an empty and messy room behind.
(Hides behind Dark from the yelling fans that had expected a nice, juicy, full of SatxDai chapter.)
Dark: ...
For those of you who really are upset, the next chapter will include Satoshi and Daisuke, but I think this chapter was important nonetheless. So...who do you think is going to win? And what do you think Dark wants from Krad and vice versa? Do you think Satoshi and Daisuke will find out?
Well you won't find out unless you keep reading-
Dark: and waiting
Me: (death glares)
Dark: I mean reviewing...
Also I'd like to give credit to my aunt for giving me this idea "the you get a wish idea" and I hope to see you guys next time! See Ya!
