Engel an der Leine
What if I told you that I'm not who I seem I am?
What if...I told you I was something else?
Something not of this world...
Would you hate me?
Would you pity me?
Would it make me important to you?
Would you throw me away if you found out?
For you...I'd live a lie.
I'd live in the darkness for you...
Since my heart is already...dark...
Chapter V:
"I heard Lucifer's troops have already found him..."
"What?"
"They've all gathered in a single town sir."
"...send your troops to that town."
"Yes sir!"

"Krad! Please!"
Krad sighed and opened an eye, "Dark, not today, maybe tomorrow."
"That's what you said yesterday! And the day before that too!"
"Like I said, tomorrow."
"Hidoi Krad! You promised after we visit Emiko-san's house we'd go shopping!"
"I know!"
"Why not today!?"
"Why don't you go with Emiko and Towa then?"
"But you promised me!"
The blonde sighed and looked at the slave, who at the moment wasn't behaving like one, he couldn't decide whether it was a good thing or not. Dark was pouting, they both knew that he was going to give in any moment now.
He sighed then closed his eyes again, "Fine, later today okay?"
Dark beamed, "Yay! Finally!"
He was like a dog, always there wagging his tail, can't be chased away or he'll come right back to you and too stubborn to give up.
"Go get ready and we'll go."
Dark ran off upstairs, Krad sat up on the couch, and watched Dark run back down with is collar on. The blonde got up and headed to the door, the slave followed.

"Where do you want to go?"
"I want a new collar, food, other stuff and food!"
"I see..."
Krad remembered when Dark was too afraid to speak up, honestly, he kind of missed it. Dark beamed at his master, first they stopped to buy him a new collar.
"Pick one and let's go already."
"Mou...but there's so much here! I want to get one that looks good!"
"Just pick one already."
Dark pouted but picked a black leather collar with a silver buckle, Krad paid for it then they continued, but stopped when Dark saw a pet shop full of cute little bunnies, the blonde sighed and went inside. He saw the slave cuddling a particular rabbit with droopy ears and big red eyes.
"Kyu?"
The boy looked up and grinned, "Hey Krad, look at this little guy."
"Kyu, kyu!"
An old lady walked past them and commented in her nice cheery voice, "Hello Krad, isn't that cute? It's love at first sight." It had to be an old lady thing.
Krad nodded and raised a brow, he didn't expect to end up buying a pet for Dark, but then again, he hadn't expected anything at all. He handed the cashier a hundred dollar bill, sure to be enough, the clerk handed back a twenty, a ten and some change.
"Come on Dark, get your rabbit and let's go."
Dark looked at the rabbit to Krad, "My rabbit?"
"Yea, it's yours now, let's go already..."
The boy looked at the rabbit before running out after the blonde, "You bought him?"
Krad nodded.
"Seriously!? Thank-you!" He snuggled the rabbit.
"Kyu!"
"What are you going to name him?"
"Umm...With!"
"Kyu?"
"Wow, it's like he knows his name already."
"Yea, he's a smart little rabbit, he's my rabbit, I named him therefore he's mine."
Those were the words Krad had spoken to him on the first day, don't forget, I named you therefore you are mine, the blonde felt like snorting at himself. He felt his empty stomach growl at him, he looked around, they were surrounded by shops, people, more shops and more people.
"You want to go grab something to eat?"
Dark whirled around, eyes sparkling, "Hell yea! I'm starving!"
"Kyu!"
Krad raised a brow, "Is it just me or does your rabbit understand me?"
"I dunno, maybe."
"Kyu?"
They ended up at a sidewalk café that served pastries and pasta along with coffee or hot chocolate.
"I'll have spaghetti and cocoa!"
"Kyu!"
"Okay..."
Krad ended up having a plate of pasta with a nice hot cup of mocha latte, Dark slurped up the spaghetti within minutes, the blonde ended up giving the rest of his plate to Dark. The blonde picked up his mocha latte covered in whipping cream with a strawberry on top and was about to drink it until he was interrupted by a loud, "Kyu, kyu!"
With hopped onto the table towards Krad's cup and started waving his hands around at the blonde's cup, "Kyu, kyu!"
The blonde set down his cup and the rabbit hopped over, he plucked the strawberry from the cream, it sat down on the table and started munching on it.
"...I always thought that rabbits ate carrots..."
"...With is...special I guess."
"Aa..."
"Kyu..."
Krad chugged down his drink and left a tip for the waiter, "Come on let's go home already."
"Okay."
They walked down the street in silence, that is until someone from behind them spoke, "Hello Krad, I didn't expect to see you here."
The blonde came to a halt and turned around, he nodded, "Hiwatari-san, I didn't expect to meet you here either."
The man was dressed in a suit with glasses and squinty eyes, "Krad, who's that?"
Krad turned around, "Oh, Dark, he's my...employer."
"Oh..."
So this was the greedy no good boss of his, yes, greed, avarice, lust and selfishness radiated from the man, there were at least three of the seven sins.
"I didn't know you kept slaves Krad."
"No sir, I usually don't..."
"Oh really now, I could take care of him for you."
Krad's body tensed, "It's alright, I wouldn't want to trouble you..."
"It'd be of no trouble at all, in fact, I think it'd be quite pleasant."
"No, I couldn't..."
"Oh it's alright really!"
"No..."
The man frowned at the blonde, "Very well, but do keep it in mind."
"I will, thank you."
"Ah yes, Krad, I'm afraid your month vacation has been cancelled, you'll have to come back next week."
Krad looked up startled, "What? But-"
"No buts do you understand."
The blonde's arms hung limply at his side and nodded, "Yes sir..."
"Good, I'll be seeing you next week then."
"Hai, bye..."
The man walked away with a triumphal smile on his lips.
"...Krad?"
The blonde sighed, "Looks like that ends my vacation..."
"But that's not fair!"
Krad shook his head, "Dark...a lot of things in life aren't fair."
"But, but!"
"No buts do you understand?"
"Hai...demo..."
"What did I just say?"
"I know! But I still think he's a bitch."
"A-" Krad stopped and gave Dark a funny look, "Where did you learn that?"
"What? Bitch? Oh," He shrugged, "I don't know."
"...okay...let's go home already, I swear, there's going to be another blizzard."
"Kay!"
"Kyu!"

"Dark, what do you want for dinner?"
"Spaghetti!"
"Again? Don't you get tired of eating that?"
"No!"
"Kyu!"
"Do we have strawberries?"
"Yea, they're in the fridge."
Dark walked opened the fridge and gave a couple of strawberries to the rabbit.
"Kyu, kyu!"
"Hey Krad," He sneezed, and he sneezed again.
"Looks like someone's sick."
"...am I going to die?"
Krad paused but managed to say, "I doubt it."
"...now what?"
"I'll make dinner, you go wait...on second thought you go sleep on the bed."
"What!? I'm fine!" He sneezed again, "You didn't hear or see anything."
"Go to bed."
"But-"
"I don't want you to end up having a fever."
"Fine..."
"Yes now -go-."
"I'm going! I'm going!" Dark sneezed again.
The boy marched upstairs and into the bedroom then yelled, "I'm in bed! Are you happy now!?"
"No, go to sleep!"
"But I'm hungry!"
"And I'm cooking!"
"So does that mean I get dinner in bed?"
"Fine-" Krad's voice broke out into a series of coughs.
Dark got up and ran downstairs, "Holy shit Krad, you okay?"
The blonde was on his knees coughing, he looked at Dark wearily, "Yes, go to sleep and stop swearing."
"I'm not sure who needs sleep more..."
"Just go unless you're willing to wait until tomorrow to eat."
"...I'll be upstairs."
"You'd better be."
Dark laid in bed staring at the ceiling, what a wonderfully boring ceiling it was, he wondered how the blonde was doing, he was clearly in pain, "Krad...how much longer do you have..."
