Bound By the Ring

Chapter I:

"Dark-kun! What happened!"

The thief set the blonde down on the redhead's bed not noticing the blood which started staining the sheets, Daisuke stared at Dark, "Isn't he your enemy? Why are you doing this?"

"You really don't remember do you?" Dark sighed. "I guess in the end...I really am the only who remembers, you see...me and Krad weren't always enemies...actually you were there too at that time, you and Satoshi."

Daisuke was shocked, he didn't know what to say, "Me and Hiwatari-kun? When?"

"A long, long time ago, when this war first started."

"..."

Dark started tending to the unmoving angel's injuries as he talked, "Who knows, you might remember after I tell you." He sighed, "I never thought I'd have to bring this up again..."

-------------------------

A timid little redhead walked into the bar full of strong, drunk men not knowing what to expect, he was told that he was suppose to meet someone there, someone who went by the name of Dark Mousy. The men all looked at him as he walked him, never in his life had he felt so small, one the drunk men asked him, "What yer doin' here kid?"

The boy wanted to make himself smaller and disappear, "Eeto...I'm look for Dark Mousy..."

A voice piped up, "That'd be me!" Then a figure jumped and landed in front of him making the boy yelp and jump back losing balance and falling, "Opps, my bad, what can I do for ya kid?"

The boy looked a couple years older than him, amethyst eyes and hair, dressed in leather, and a rabbit perched on his shoulder as he reached down to help him up, the redhead couldn't help but stutter, "I-I'm Daisuke, eeto...kaa-san, I mean Emiko sent me here..."

"Oh! You're Emiko's kid! We heard you were coming!"

We?

There was an annoyed sigh, a blonde pushed through the crowd that surrounded the two, "Can't you just walk up like a normal person instead of going all...Dark-like and scaring kids?"

Dark's smile stretched to a childish beam as he ran up to hug the blonde, "Krad!"

The angel-like blonde gave a small content smile, much like a cat's, Daisuke was absolutely shocked at how unearthly the pair looked, one of the men beside him whispered in his ear, "You think they're pretty too?"

The redhead gave a small nod, the man laughed, and continued whispering with that drunkard-like accent, "Well I wouldn't have either one catch ya gawking at the other, they're lovers see? Awfully jealous lovers, get caught looking at one and the other'll murda' ya."

Daisuke gulped, how could anyone who looked like angels be jealous and cruel? Especially Krad, the man wasn't done yet, "You don't believe me right? Especially that one, the name's Krad, he's not as angelic as he looks I tells ya, take my word for it, don't let them catch you gawking. Dark might not be as harsh as Krad when it comes to these terms."

The blonde looked at the redhead, "Who's that?"

"Daisuke! Emiko's kid!"

Krad nodded, "Krad...Hikari."

Daisuke's eyes widened, wasn't their main problem the Hikari? Why would he be here? Everything was getting more messed up by the second, Dark gestured towards a set of stairs, "Let's go newbie."

The redhead huffed, "Who's a newbie?"

The older boy laughed, "You have spunk, not bad kid, come on there's still one more you have to meet."

Another one? The man gave him a push, flashing him a thumbs-up, "Don't worry, that one's not so bad."

Daisuke gave a nod and walked up after Dark Mousy, no Kaitou Dark as his mother called him, they watched Krad walk into the far room, "Don't worry, he's just getting the materials out. Hey Dai-chan, he's gorgeous isn't he?"

"Eeto..."

"There's only one rule we have, and that is you know that Krad's mine and only mine, but I can't blame you," Dark laughed, "he is damn sexy."

Daisuke blushed, then a voice interrupted them, "Urusai we're trying to figure things out!"

Dark smacked his head, "Oh right! I was suppose to introduce you to creepy boy! Guess I forgot!"

A boy walked out of the room Krad went through, "Some great thief you are, you'd probably forget what you were stealing in the first place if we didn't write it down."

"That hasn't happened...yet! Anyhow, Daisuke, this is creepy boy."

The blue haired boy glared at him, "I have a name you know."

"And I forgot that name!"

"Satoshi, Hiwatari Satoshi."

"I'm Daisuke."

"Hn."

Dark grinned as the boy went back into the room, "Isn't he just charmingly creepy? Okay, down to business, your mom recommended you for drawing maps and such, you good at art?"

"I'm okay."

The thief nodded, "Good enough, we suck at drawing so it's up to you to sketch things out for us alright?"

The boy nodded, "Kyu!"

Dark looked at his shoulder, "Right, this is With, my...assistant."

"Kyu, kyu!"

The rabbit hopped off Dark's shoulder and onto Daisuke's head, "Aww, he likes you, alright, let's get to the meeting before creepy boy starts hitting on Krad, if that happens we're going to need another strategist since he won't live long enough to see sunlight."

Jealous was an understatement, they were possessive of each other. The two entered the room, "We're here!"

"What took you?"

"I was laying out the basic rules to our newest member."

The blonde didn't look amused, "Can we just get this over with?"

Satoshi nodded, he folded the sleeves of his sweater up and unrolled a map, "Right, tonight, you're stealing The Maid of Aphrodite."

"Sounds interesting."

"Hear me out, this is under heavy security so you're going to need more than your rabbit alone, and there should be more police than usual, don't screw up."

"My, you just seem to take the pressure off everything don't you? When am I suppose to show up?"

"Midnight."

"Alright, sounds great, tell me where it's located and it's in the bag."

"Main hall, should have security surrounding it so it won't be hard to find."

"Okay now that that's over with, hey Krad look at this!"

"What?"

Dark got Daisuke into a headlock and ruffled up his hair, causing the redhead to yelp, "Isn't he cute?"

Golden eyes gleamed in the moonlight, the silver strands of light illuming the long golden hair, his white clothes glowed under the moonlight, creating an angel, a very angry angel, "Aa...very."

The thief dropped the redhead who rubbed his sore neck catching his breath, Satoshi sighed and shook his head, poor, poor newcomers were always getting tortured by the two, fainting under Krad's touch or Dark's comments.

Krad smirked, "You know, maybe I should just go with him instead, he does seem awfully cute doesn't he?"

Dark gawked, "You don't mean that, you can't mean that."

The blonde frowned and crossed his arms, "Why can't I?"

"Because-because-"

Krad got up and nuzzled Daisuke's neck causing the redhead to blush as red as his hair, "Because..."

The thief fumed and yanked the blonde away from the redhead who just stood there, in shock, "Because you're mine!"

With that spoken, the thief pressed his lips against Krad's roughly, Satoshi shook his head again as he dragged the still in shock Daisuke out the room, "I think it's time we left."

Outside, they sat against the door, Daisuke felt like he was eavesdropping on the two but the blue haired boy assured him that it wasn't anything new, and that it might take them a minute to unlock their lips.

"Hey Hiwatari-kun."

"Yea?"

"Krad's a Hikari, why's he here?"

"I guess we all look at Dark differently, some a hero, some a criminal, some extremely annoying guy and Krad, a lover. After all, it was Dark who stole him."

"Dark stole him!?"

"Yea, he used to be locked up then once Dark went into his room to steal a painting, according to the story, Dark fell in love with Krad at first sight and Krad was sick of getting locked up in his own room so he asked Dark to take him away, or to "steal him" apparently, but then Dark declined and told him that he wouldn't steal him until he stole his heart. After a couple of visits, Dark figured that it was time to take him away so he did and now this is this."

"But wouldn't his father look for him."

"He has, he treasures Krad like a piece of fine art, but nothing more, apparently he's given up, he knows that his son chose Dark over him, what's he going to do about it? All the plans he had for Krad must've gone down the drain."

Daisuke sighed and rested his head on Satoshi's shoulder, "How complicated..."

"Mmm...Dark..."

"You're mine Krad and don't you forget it. I stole you and now you're mine forever. If you're not mines you're nobody's."

"Same goes for you."

Dark grinned while kissing Krad's neck as he groaned, "Deal...love you."

"Aa..."

The two lovers leaned into each other's embrace whispering silent promises that only they and the soundless sky heard.

----------------------------

"...all that really happened?"

"Doesn't seem real does it? You think I'm lying don't you? I kind of wish I was lying too."

"It's completely bizarre yet...I don't know why but I find myself believing everyword of it, well maybe not every word but the main story...it's like I see little glimpses of it in my head."

"You're starting to remember I guess."

Daisuke watched Dark healing Krad's wounds, he checked for a pulse, there was none, "Why are you healing him? Isn't he..."

"He hates looking dirty."

The redhead blinked at the thief's words, "...I don't understand, if you two were lovers how did you end up...like this?"

The thief paused, and started hesitantly, "You see...erm...well...this one mission it went...bad, really bad...that was the first time I lost Krad..."
