Hakudoshi-chan, great and faithful reviewer, the One who Watched Inuyasha cause I said so!

Naosuke, of the cute Krad Pockyness; great fan of any insanity. Whee!

Lord Scribbles, who's 'About Me' used to be very Satoshi-orientated, reducing me into giggles.

And last but not least, Trever!

Dark as a baby would be very, very, very interesting.

Daisuke was in a sleeveless tight black top with three vertical stripes running from the turtleneck to the hem of the shirt. His mother had also insisted that he wore some track pants, which were, not surprisingly, black.

'I am going to boil in here, oka-san!'

'Nonsense!' his mother had laughed. 'Dark-san would like them.'

'I do like them, albeit I can't technically wear them,' Dark piped up from the recesses of Daisuke's mind.

'Shut up, Dark.'

'He likes it ne?' his mother smiled at him widely. 'Now off you go.'

Now Daisuke peeked through the front door of the mansion. He was, finally, standing on the porch of the house that he was supposed to steal something from.

'Do you even know what this house is called? Or what you're supposed to steal?' Dark had mumbled.

Daisuke stopped short.

'Erm... no. I don't.'

'Wonderful! I'll just sit here and watch you die or something okay?'

'Dark...'

'Go ask your dad. He's the only sensible one here.'

'Very well.'

Daisuke turned on his heel and strode to his father, who was currently shouting at his mother, about something that had to do with phones and black.

'Err dad?'

'What?!'

'What's this place called? Dark's thieving instincts demand that he know what I'm supposed to steal and where.'

Daisuke's father clicked his tongue impatiently. His mother wisely decided to vanish into the car, on the pretext of getting a cool drink.

'It's called the Gorijuun Mansion. This is where the Statuette of Carmelle is housed.' he turned to look straight at his son's ruby eyes.

'And that's what you're going to steal today.'

---

Satoshi cycled on, his eyes stuck on the road that stretched ahead of him like a treacherous sand-coloured snake.

'It doesn't really require that drastic a description right? It's just a road for goodness sake.'

'You cycle then.'

'I don't wanna!' Krad pouted. 'Okay!'

Satoshi only remembered a sudden rush of wind before he found himself trapped in a place where fluffy pink rabbits threw grenades at each other while counting out the 546th number of the symbol pi.

He dodged a rabbit-thrown grenade, which hummed the green bottle song as it whizzed across his face and refused to tell another what was the reminder after you divided 50 by 7.

'KRAD!!' he thundered, after discovering that the floor was made of toffee.

'What?' came the innocent omnipresent voice.

'Are you really cycling?'

---

Outside was much, much, much more fun than his head, Krad decided cheerfully, as he wobbled rather precariously on his tamer's bicycle. Okay, he liked the rabbits and could do with a few now, and still, nothing beat the toffee floor, his ears were still ringing with Satoshi's cry of fury. It was the best, he felt, to see the neat boy knee deep in sticky brown toffee.

Toffee was good!

'Krad! I demand that you get rid of the toffee floor!'

'Never! Wa hahahahahahaha!!!'

'If you don't tell me how to get rid of the floor I'll...' Satoshi paused for effect.

'You will?' Krad echoed, curious.

'I will... I mean I won't... TELL YOU WHERE TO GET MONEY FROM!!'

'What's up with money? I don't need it.'

'You'll need it, Krad... to get... POCKY!'

Krad screamed and screeched the brakes on his bike.

'YOU WOULDN'T!!!' he howled. 'YOU WOULDNT DENY ME POCKY!!'

'I can and I will! Now tell me how to get rid of the toffee floor!' one could see that Satoshi, the poor boy was actually getting quite desperate. Who wouldn't, he was stuck knee deep in toffee and sinking slowly. It was ridiculous to anyone to die in toffee.

Even Krad thought so too and taunted him mercilessly.

'You're sinking!' Krad laughed. 'Sinking sinking, in a yellow submarine! And then we'll drink coffee and make silly grins!'

'I am sinking! Therefore, you better tell me NOW... or I sink... and then die... and never tell you how to get Pocky...'

'Fine, fine... Charlie,' he added. 'Just eat the floor and it will disappear.'

'Why?'

'Why? It's because toffee runs my mind. I don't need to eat it for my mind to run, it's already in there.'

'Does that make sense?'

'Nope. Never did. That's why it always works.'

'Gnnh!' Satoshi winced. Closing his eyes, he willed himself to stick his tongue out and taste the toffee.

It vanished and Satoshi fell on hard cold floor. Krad was laughing.

'Yaaaaaaayyy!! Satoshi-kun ate toffee! Satoshi-kun ate toffee!'

This was going to be very difficult to live down.

As a side note, Riku and Risa were unfortunate enough to glance outside the window just then to see someone vaguely familiar in white laughing madly on a bicycle while careening dangerously around.

The event was never mentioned again under the Harada's residence.

---

'We didn't see that right?'

'See what?'

'Good.'

The twins leant back on the car again. Grandfather Tsuba had said that they had a good forty five minutes left before they reached the house. It was going to be a long one this time. The bicycle man had disappeared from the road.

'How about you girls go take a nice long nap, it ought to do you some good, as I have no idea what you were doing last night...' he smiled suggestively.

Risa flushed. She had spent the previous on the phone with the astrological service, figuring out even more of her romantic ties with the thief, Dark Mousy. Riku, frustrated with her sister's stupidity for the longest time, had finally pulled the wire out of its socket, which subsequently ignited one of the largest arguments in the Harada's mansion.

'Stupid girl. Dark isn't suitable for you, that's all. He's too air headed for his own good.'

'You're just jealous.'

'Oh god.'

'Now, now,' Grandfather Tsuba warned gently, tapping on the wheel, as he passed another badly made cross.

Riku's head turned as she kept her eyes on the cross.

'We've been seeing quite a number of these ne?'

Risa, forgetting their argument, looked out of the window and saw the fast disappearing cross.

'Yeah. I wonder what they mean. Usually crosses are for like graves or something... but that's impossible right?' Risa laughed.

'I don't know, I have been seeing them for quite a while now...'

'Ah well. Forget it,' Grandfather Tsuba smiled. 'Just have a nap now, I'll tell you when we reach there.'

---

Dark's eyes snapped open.

'The Statuette of Carmelle? Is your father insane? Does he know that it's cursed?' he howled in Daisuke's head. Daisuke winced.

'I don't think so... what's it cursed with?' Daisuke asked mentally, as he readied himself for his task, in front of the ominous looking front door.

'Beats me. Just be alert then,' Dark shrugged. Daisuke nodded.

'I will.'

'Hey Daisuke, we're going back now, your mom wants to go shopping! We expect you back home at night!' his father called from the driver's seat. Daisuke waved at the leaving family, his hand reaching for the front door knob.

'I'll tell you again... be alert... you don't know-'

Daisuke hadn't heard Dark's words after the first syllable. He had placed his hand on the metal door knob, and had subsequently been electrocuted senseless by his adoring family.

'Whaaaatttt?!!!'

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

Dark: THE STUPID BOY!!!!!

Krad: It's not his fault that he's got such an idiotic angel, who can't even tell the difference between peanut butter and baby food.

Dark: That's not true, okay?

Krad: Okay then, go on and tell me the difference between this and this. (Takes out two plates, one with peanut butter smeared over a piece of bread on the plate, and another with baby food smeared over the other piece of bread.)

Dark: Errr…

Krad: A or B?

Shigure: Pick A!

Riku: What the hell.

Risa: I don't care what you pick, I still love you!

Sesshoumaru: I don't belong here.

Heka: Everyone belongs here, because they have been brought here by me! Wa hahahaha- (Is burnt by Sesshy.)

Sesshoumaru doesn't like me! Oh, yes, anyone can guess what the crosses are? Smirk, there's a big hint in the story already! Guess and I'll give you a lollipop!

Love, heka!
