Insanity of the Art

Chapter IV:

"Who are you?"

Dark felt himself stiffen, but took a step forward, "Krad?"

The figure in white remained still, he repeated, "…who are you?"

"It's me! Dark!?"

The blonde cocked his head slightly, "Dark? …who is that?"

The thief stared in disbelief, a man stepped behind the angel-like figure, running a finger over a golden ring, then he wrapped an arm around the blonde's waist and whispered into the angel's ear, "He's Dark Mousy…the enemy…"

"The enemy…"

Slowly letting go of the blonde's waist he smirked, "Yes, that's right, he's the enemy, kill him."

Energy started gathering in the blonde's palm but Dark rushed forward and grabbed his arm, looking into his eyes the thief was taken back by the emptiness in the golden eyes. "Krad…did you really forget me?"

Krad's face remained emotionless except for a streak of tears flowing down his cheek, he looked right through Dark, and asked himself, "It hurts…why?"

"Krad…" The blonde's eyes widened as he shrunk away, wrenching his arm away as though the thief's touch were poisonous, or at least he tried. Dark's grip tightened, Krad let out a low whimper, "No…you're the enemy…"

"That's right Krad, don't forget who owns you."

Immediately, Krad started gathering energy into his hand again despite the tears that welled up in his eyes. Dark was flung back when the blast hit him, landing on his feet he looked at the blonde. The man laughed and started walking away, "Come on Krad, let's go."

Collapsing on a knee Dark watched them, he felt his consciousness leaving him. He saw the blonde glance back, meeting his pained gaze he whispered, "Krad…"

"Dark Mousy…the enemy…my enemy…"

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

"What happened after that?"

Dark looked over at the redhead who showed nothing but curiosity, "Every generation after that we've been enemies. Being used like a doll and nothing more, but as years past he's learned…bitterness from the Hikari."

"And this generation?"

The thief sighed and looked at the fallen angel, "This time…he was more like his old self then he ever had been…we have to find Satoshi."

"Why?"

"Krad's not going to last any longer and Satoshi's needed…Krad's life depends on it…"

"But he's-"

"As long as we find him there'll be a way, there has to be."

Daisuke nodded and picked up the phone and dialed. Soon there was a knock at the door, the redhead went to open it, "What's all this about? What's so urgent?"

"We need your help…he needs your help."

Satoshi raised a brow in confusion, but when he looked over at the blood stained bed, his eyes widened. Snarling he asked in a low voice, "Why is he here?"

Dark looked up from his deep thinking, arms crossed, leaning against the wall he stared at the blue haired boy, "He needs your help."

"No way."

His reaction wasn't entirely surprising, at least no to Dark, Daisuke on the other hand stared at him in shock, "Hiwatari-kun!"

"Why should I help him? He's just the family curse, good riddance I say…"

Dark sighed, "I suppose I'll have to retell everything again huh? This better not take long…"

Satoshi seemed surprised at Dark but remained silent as the thief retold his tale and went on further…

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

"Dark!"

The thief smirked and dodged an incoming blast of energy, "So close yet so far…"

He pinned the angel against the wall and watched him struggle, eyes still blank, it hurts…

(Dark! Don't hurt him! It's Hiwatari-kun!)

Like I could really hurt him…he snorted, ((Joy kill…))

His frown turned into a smirk, "Well Krad, love, I have to go, I'd kill you, but my host has hots for your creepy one and he won't let me kill you because of the chain reaction blah blah blah, you know the rest…anyways, I really must be going now, bye!"

Giving the blonde a little peak on the nose he flew off with a snicker, he could hear Krad cursing him and snickered. ((Too bad he'll never catch me.))

(Dark…)

((I didn't kill him!))

(Yea I know.)

((Then what's the problem?))

(Nothing…)

((You know if you really like creepy boy you oughta just fess up and tell him.))

Daisuke blushed, (D-Dark!)

((What!? It's true!))

(But I'm not sure if he likes me back…I mean I'm his friend and I suddenly confess to him?)

((So you do like him!))

The redhead blushed again, (You tricked me!)

((No, you said all that on your own I simply encouraged you and gave you a little push.))

(…)

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

"Hiwatari-kun! Ohayou!"

Satoshi turned around, "Niwa…"

The redhead smiled, "You're here early!"

"You too."

Daisuke rubbed his neck, and smiled, "N-not really…"

((Woot! Go Dai-chan! Talking to creepy boy now are you? Good job!))

He blushed, (D-Dark!!)

((What? I'm encouraging you!))

"Niwa?"

"Yes?"

"Are you okay?"

Daisuke blinked, "Yea, why wouldn't I be?"

"You're all red…"

"Eh!?" The redhead blushed again, "I'm okay! Really!" Then he ran off into the class, setting down his things he sighed.

(I'm hopeless…)

((Normally I wouldn't agree to such discouraging things but, yea…you're hopeless, and I mean that in the conversational way.))

Daisuke mentally snorted, and added sarcastically, (Aren't you nice?)

((Yup!))

(He's never going to like me back and you know it.)

((You never know! I mean maybe somewhere deep down, deep, deep, deep down somewhere, he has a heart. And who knows!? You might even find it if you dig down, down, down, down and gods do I mean way down!))

(That's mean!)

((Everything's mean to you!))

"Ohayou Niwa-kun!"

(You're mean!)

((Earth to Daisuke! Someone's calling you!))

Daisuke blinked and looked, "Harada-san!"

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yes!"

The girl studied him closely for a second before walking away satisfied, Daisuke blinked again, (What just happened?)

((Let me see…RIKU-CHAN comes along and says hi to you while you're zoning out.))

(I was talking to you!)

((It's zoning out to the eyes of the viewers.))

(Gah!!)

((And I'm pretty sure you're zoning out again…))

(…)

During class, Daisuke paid close attention to the blackboard, the only thing that distracted him from gawking at the blue haired boy, once in awhile Dark would remind him to go back to listening to the teacher instead of daydreaming or to stop staring at 'creepy boy' otherwise just to laugh at him. Dark floated listlessly around in the redhead's mind, shielding all his thoughts from his host. It was painfully obvious that the two had a thing for each other, it was meant to be. And the last thing the thief wanted the boy to do was take the blue haired boy for granted, one pair of lovers turning against each other was enough, there was no need to repeat history.

((I wonder if there's something to steal tonight…))

In his own little meaning he simply wanted to see the blonde, even though they were enemies it was nice just to know that the hunter was doing well or as well as he could.

(I swear, you've got this stealing fetish.)

((Better than your creepy boy one.))

Daisuke blushed, "Niwa?"

"Hai?"

"Are you alright? You're all red…"

He nodded, the class giggled, Satoshi merely watched him, -Niwa…-

/You like him don't you Satoshi-sama…/

-What? That's absurd!-

/You can't hide your thoughts from me. /

-…-

/I still don't understand what you see in the wing master…/

Satoshi didn't answer, Krad crossed his arms and closed his eyes picturing the thief. Golden eyes opening again, he shook his head, suddenly his chest clenched as the image of Dark popped into his mind but a greater pain soon took over.

Clutching his chest he managed to cough out, /your father…is calling…/

The blue haired boy blinked and stood up, the teacher didn't question him. Automatically he headed outside to the courtyard where a car was waiting. Daisuke watched from his seat, (Another assignment?)

The boy's father smirked and touched something on his finger, the redhead felt the thief stiffen in his mind, (Dark?)

((Yea?))

(Is something wrong?)

((Leg fell asleep from keeping it crossed too long.))

(Oh…)

Honestly, theboy could be so dense sometimes…

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

"They're entering through the roof!"

Satoshi put the radio down and ran up the stairs just in time to catch Dark stealing the painting, "Dark!"

The thief turned around with a grin on his face, "Another fan?"

"You wish."

/Satoshi-sama, allow me-/

-No!-

/Satoshi-sama…he is my enemy. /

-What?-

/It is my job to deal with him. / Before Satoshi could answer Krad had started taking over his body again, /I cannot fail…/

-Since when was it your job?-

/Since all eternity. /

Dark watched him, stifling a yawn he watch Satoshi talk to his other self. "Are you going to be arguing with yourself all night or what?"

Satoshi glared at the thief, how dare he mock him!? "I'll get you…"

"I'm sure you will…someday, when you're not being occupied by yourself…gods, that just sounded wrong.

"Kisama…"

Then his hair lengthened and turned gold, Dark grinned, "So you're finally through arguing with yourself?"

"You won't be laughing for long."

Dark raised a brow, "But I'm not even laughing right now! See? No ha-ha-ha-ing!"

Krad simply glared at him, "You won't live past today."

"Can't you think of something more…creative?"

The thief jumped out of the building, black wings catching him as a blast of energy was sent towards him shattering the glass around it. Dark tsk'ed, "Throwing temper tantrums now are we?"

White wings unfurled and the blonde flew out after Dark. The thief smirked and flew back a bit more, "DDAARRKK!!"

"Yes?"

"I'll kill you!"

"You only wish you could."

"Kisama!"

Krad frowned, slight pain welled up in his chest causing him to land on the ground, Dark grinned, "What's the matter? Asthma? Or are you just unfit?"

"Quite full of yourself aren't you?"

"It'd be the end of the world if I wasn't."

The thief's cockiness was going to drive him off the wall one day. He watched Dark land in front of him, he snarled but the pain in his chest grew. He collapsed onto his knees, breathing labored, and he started trembling.

"Krad?"

The cross tied to his hair started glowing, the blonde clutched his chest and flew away in a hurry.

/Kuso…/

"Krad!"
