Chapter 7
40 years ago...
"Get him! The Phantom Thief is getting away!"
A cloaked figure looks back at his 'enemies' and laughs. In his hands he holds a heart pendant, its golden color shimmering in the moonlight. He leaps into the air and takes flight.
"Kyuu..." Dark looks back at his companion.
"It's alright, Wiz." Dark chuckled. "They can't even catch a cold."
After a few moments of flying, he settles himself on the ground in complete grace. He looks around and sees no sight from the humans seeking him. He looked at his surroundings...a park.
"Hn...too easy." He gave a grin and turned on his heel, walking off.
Dark...
Daark... ...
Daaark!
His eyes widened and he whipped around to see who in their right mind was spying on him. Then and there he saw his greatest rival...
"Dark, Dark, Dark...it's a...pleasure meeting you here...wouldn't you say?" His rival sneered.
Dark grinned. "What do you want, Krad?"
"Fight." Krad's sneer was covered by a now hateful expression. He leaned back and coveredhis right arm with one of his angel white wings. Dark's eyes widened in surprise. Krad uncovered his arm in one blow and a flurry of razor sharp feathers came to Dark's way. He brought up his wings for safety, then recoiled after Wiz gave a pained noise.
"S-Sorry Wiz." Dark slowly brought his wings down. He stroked his hands gently over the black wings, trying to pacify the creature.
"Fight me Phantom Thief!" Krad flew directly over head and brought his arms down over Dark. He, however, retaliated by grabbing the blonde's arms and tossing him to the side. Krad groaned and picked himself up to meet Dark's conceited grin. He growled.
"Wipe that grin off your face!"
"Why?" Dark teased.
"You arrogant bastard!" Krad shouted.
He dashed at Dark and elbowed him in the side, causing the Phantom Thief to lose his footing. Dark gripped his eyes shut then opened them just in time to see the blonde coming back over him a fit of rage. Dark jumped up and flung his leg out as it caught Krad in the side, knocking him breathless.
"D-Do the world a favor and DIE!" He trembled, trying to stand.
"And leave you all alone?" Dark chuckled,
Krad tensed and slighty whimpered. "I-I hate you!"
"Oh? And why is that?" Dark continued, loving every minute of it.
"B-Because..."
"Yes?"
Krad's voice softened. "Because I..." Dark was knocked out of his teasing moment and he looked up at Krad to see and hear him more clearly. He eyed Krad more seriously. Krad could feel it. That deep welling in his chest. He couldn't keep on pretending! His heart was in pain. He loved Dark so much. His smile was wonderful, his eyes were stunning...but most of all, was the person himself. Dark was so lovely in many ways. But Krad was afraid to tell him. Afraid that Dark would surely detest him for the corrupt angel he was. Afraid that...he would never win Dark's love. His pride couldn't take that kind of pressure.
"Krad?" Dark gave a look of childish curiousity and confusion.
Krad tipped his head down lower, and dropped his arms to his side. "Y..u ...in."
"Wha?"
"I said, 'you win.' " It came out as a choked whimper...it sounded pathetic to his own ears even.
"...no one wins." Dark crossed his arms and gave a soft smile.
Krad jerked his head up and saw the smile that was etched upon his face. Ohh that made him want to smile too. He has a face that looks like it was carved by angels...
"Oh my! Did I just see your lips twitch?" Dark chuckled heartedly. "I think I just heard your face creak!"
No...Krad smiled. No way...there's no way Dark could hate him. Krad stepped forward, wrapping his armsaround the violet-eyed boy, and pressed his lips to his. The Phantom Thief's eyes fluttered for a moment then finally closed. He moaned and wrapped his own arms around the white angel. Dark pulled his face away and nuzzled the side of his love's face gently.
"You're so beautiful, Krad." He whispered.
"Liar." Krad whispered.
"I'm not lying." Dark chuckled.
The blonde's eyes were half-lidded as he nuzzled his face into Dark's chest. Dark smiled warmly and he stroked his hand through the angel's hair.
"Let's go." He whispered.
- - - - -
Dark pressed kisses to the angel's cheek, neck, shoulders...not missing a single place on that beautiful skin. He listens to his love's moans and pants as the pleasure heightens. And very soon both beautiful creatures are naked, and one's bare, slick flesh pounds against the another's bare flesh.
"Awwhhh! Dark! More! MORE! DARK!"
Grunts, groans, moans and gasps of pleasure echo in the night.

"Daaark..." Krad whispered breathlessly.
Dark smiles and brings his forhead to touch the angel's. He inhales and exhales. "Krad...that was bliss."
Krad smiles and settles himself into the thief's arms. Dark sets up and searches for his clothing. Krad sees Dark's actions and quickly becomes worried.
'I don't want him to leave!'
Dark turned back towards Krad and forces a small object into Krad's hands.
"Take it." He smiled warmly at his new love.
"Wha-what is it?" Krad turned the pendant over in his palms. His eyes widened when he saw its rich and lustery golden color.
Dark kissed Krad on the side of his head and softly chucked. "That's the-..."

"Dark! Dark! Stop daydreaming!"
"Huh? Wha?" Dark shook his head and glanced over at his host.
Daisuke glared, or what appeared to be a glare, at the purple-haired thief. "Stop daydreaming! You didn't even hear a word I said!"
"What is it?" Dark tetorted, annoyed.
"I said, 'how are we going to go about it?'!"
"About what?" Dark blinked.
Daisuke groaned and plopped down on the bed. "Nevermind."
Dark's memory hit him full-force. "Oh, you mean the job, right?"
The red-haired boy gave a deep sigh. "Yes, Dark."
"I told you before." The handsome boy said. "Just follow my lead, and there'll be no screw-ups."
"And...I'll-"
"Yes, we'll both get what we want, Daisuke."
"Promise?" Daisuke turned over onto his belly and looked at Dark intently.
"I promise. Now you go out with your friends. Leave the planning to me."
"You-You're sure?" Daisuke blinked.
"Yeah. It's too complicated anyway, even for you. Enjoy yourself." Dark gave the red-haired boy a devlish grin. "Because tonight's the finale."
-Somewhere else-
"...Satoshi...leave it to me."
"What?" Satoshi's called out from the kitchen as he was preparing a small meal.
"I'll do it myself." Krad gave a smile from Satoshi's thoughts. Even though Satoshi couldn't see the angel physically, he could hear him quite clearly as well as imagine him.
"I think I should be the one to plan this out, Krad-"
"I said that I'll do it, Satoshi! Besides, it's too difficult."
"Hn, whatever you say." Satoshi went back to his cooking.
Krad sprawled himself out on Satoshi's bed and gave a sigh, dangling a golden colored pendant from his fingertips.
- - - - -
"Such a beautiful name...I love it Dark." He gently nuzzled the boy with affection. Dark reached for the pendant and laced it around Krad's neck.
"Mmm, gorgeous." He smirked almost mischievously. "It brings out the color in your eyes."
Krad brought a hand up and brushed his fingertips against the cool surface. "Thank you...thank you so much. No one's ever given me a gift before..." Krad blushed with embarrassment.
"And...I'm sorry..." Krad's expression saddened.
"For what?" Dark blinked, confused.
"I attacked you..." Krad cuddled up to the Purple-eyes boy's side.
Dark's expression also saddened. "...I hurt you too...and I'm very sorry."
What Dark was going to say next, knew it would hurt his angel's feelings...but he had to.
Dark pulled Krad close and embraced him. "I must go now."
Krad tensed. "Wh- You- But why!" Krad clinged to Dark's chest, buring his face in his neck.
Dark held Krad's hands in his own and kissed his fingertips.
"I'll be back for you tomorrow night...I promise." Krad whimpered sadly and let his love go.
He watched as the handsome thief dressed and leaped into the air...and disappeared into the night.
Krad looked back down at his first and only gift. He stroked it softly. He lifted it and pressed it to his lips.
"And I'll be waiting...my love."

A.N. I'm so terribly sorry it took so long to get this out. I know it's not much, but I had to work pretty fast. Back in August my computer's motherboard went out, so I had to get it fixed and reformat.And I lost all the stories I've been working on. Don't kill me! I'm trying my best to update as soon as possible, I really am! Can you all bear with me? Thank you. And as always, thank you for reading.
