"Shut up"

Master, you say it so coldly. Why? I am not here to hurt you. Don't you see how that baka Daaku talks to his tamer? That's how we should be.

"If you'll just leave things alone, the Toki No Byoushin's life will end…..all of Daisuke Niwa's power won't be enough to stop the pain"

It's an obligation, don't you see? I have to end the Niwa bloodline. It's my duty to be their enemy, hikari, the two clans can never work together. You try, but it won't work.

"Ah….you're still attached to that boy, aren't you?"

You are. Do you love him? Do you care about him? You shouldn't. It will only hurt more when I kill him.

"Those feelings…..are foolish, Satoshi, and not fitting for you"

Caring about him is only going to hurt you in the end. Because, one day, I'm going to kill him. So why care? It will only cause you pain. I don't want you to hurt.

"The old you would of never done anything like this"

No. The old you cared about no one, not even yourself. Not me. Not the fool Niwa.

"The old you wouldn't involve himself with anything"

Nothing of importance, anyway.

"……or get attatched to anything, or possess anything…the old you wouldn't have cared what happened to anyone. "

Not even yourself. Whatever you did, you did it to please no one.

"SHUT UP!"

You scream, eyes closed. I can't help but laugh. Why does it bother you so much? You have to be closed to the world but not to me. Let me in, Master Satoshi.

"If talking about these feelings upsets you so much, we'll just leave it alone, shall we? For now"

See? I want to make you comfortable. I will please you in whatever way you need me to. I can't go away, not until the Niwa boy and the baka kaitou are dead. But anything else…..I will give you. No matter what it is.

"I care about you more than anyone…but all you do is turn away from me"

Why isn't it as clear to you as it is to me? I love you. I would do anything for you.

"You don't care about me, Krad"

How can you say that? What position are you in to say I don't love you?

"All you care about is my form"

Well, well. That's an interesting comment. I do care about your body, in more ways than one.

"The vessel that you need to manifest yourself."

You wouldn't like to be trapped in the closed and cramped quarters of the mind, either.

"Leave me be! I am not you!"

You're better than me, in a sense. Maybe I am the darkness that is inside your mind, but I am you and yet not you.

"I'm sure Dark will come after this – the Toki No Kusabi…the chock of time"

Yes. Now is our time, our time to finally rid the world of Niwa and the Thief.

"Many powerful works were created by the Hikari clan"

Surely. I came from one of them, and I am powerful, am I not? But see, aibou, something even stronger came out of my creation…Love. Lust.

"But in creating these works of art, they created a curse that plagues even me"

Curse? Oh, foolish, foolish Master. How could you not understand that you are not invincible? Why do you clutch your heart like there is a crushing pain on your soul? Hikari, maybe you feel my pain. You feel Daaku's pain – the pain of loving someone that will never return your affections.

"Maybe…..I want to test that curse"
