Eden had torn through his family's library searching for anything he might have missed. He was getting frustrated and he could feel Krad lurking in the shadows of his soul. Eden knew he was waiting for an opportunity to take over when Eden would let his guard down. But Eden was determined not to give in to Krad. Krad would only destroy him and Dark, making it impossible to help Aomi.

He was sitting on the floor of his bedroom surrounded by books from the library. His room was the only place he could think. It was his one place to escape from the history the house held of the Hikari family. He had tried to leave home countless times. He was fully capable of living on his own but something always brought him back. It was in his blood, his Hikari blood, to always be close to the ties of his family. But when he was home the artwork that was kept within the house always whispered to him their secrets. It would drive him mad when he needed to concentrate so he finally created a barrier around his room to keep the voices out.

His nose was buried in a book when the window blew open and Dark flew through. Eden jumped up in surprise but it was soon forgotten when he saw Aomi unconscious in Dark's arms.

"Is she okay?" He asked as he rushed over to her as Dark set Aomi down on Eden's bed.

"Yeah," Dark said shortly turning away as Eden kneeled beside the bed and took Aomi's hand. "Did you find anything?" He asked as he nudged the books on the floor while glancing around the room.

"No, nothing," Eden answered getting up but still keeping his eyes on Aomi.

"Aomi said the bracelet was split, does that bring to mind anything," Dark said as he stared at a locked box sitting on a shelf.

"It doesn't but that would mean it's possible to find the other half if it hasn't been destroyed," Eden said as he turned to look at Dark.

"Yeah, some guy Aomi works with will be by and he can help look, what's in that box?" Dark asked.

"What's wrong with you?" Rio asked.

There's something about that box, Dark said still staring at it.

"I don't know. My mother left it in here. She didn't want it anymore, said she lost the key. Why?" Eden explained looking at Dark suspiciously.

As Dark got closer to the box images from the past started to flash before his eyes.

"Dark, what is all that?" Rio exclaimed feeling the emotions from the memories rather than seeing the actual images.

Dark took in a sharp breath of air as more images bombarded his mind and one image in particular made him seethe in anger.


"Dark, this isn't a good idea," Daisuke said.

"Don't be so uptight. Besides, you need more excitement in your life," Dark chided as he flew through the air.

"Like being possessed with the spirit of a phantom thief isn't enough excitement," his tamer complained.

"You complain like your dad," Dark commented.

"Yeah, well I am his son," Daisuke explained in annoyance.

"I still can't get over how he named you after him," Dark laughed.

"It was my mother's idea," Daisuke sighed. "I promise you this I'll never name any of my kids after me. It's so cheesy."

"I agree."

"Will you agree with me on this subject. Let's just go home now," Daisuke complained again.

"No, I want to see the Commander Jr.," Dark said mischievously.

"Dark, I'm not ready to see Krad's tamer. Dad told me stories about him and they didn't sound very fun," Daisuke said with a touch of fear in his voice.

"Don't worry I'll protect you from the big bad Krad," Dark soothed.

"Your not funny Dark!"

"Shhhhh... You're distracting me," Dark told his tamer as he flew lower toward a large mansion.

"From what?" Daisuke wondered.

"Look there," Dark pointed out.

Standing on a balcony was a young lady of about fourteen though she carried herself as if she were older. She was looking up watching Dark as he flew by and waved. She was extremely beautiful for one so young and she had a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her lips that made her look like she was up to no good. Dark was immediately attracted to her.

"Dark! No, don't go down there!" Daisuke warned.

"What's wrong? It's not like she's Krad's tamer," Dark pointed out.

"That's not the point. I think she might be his sister. Dad mentioned that Satoshi's son and daughter were twins," Daisuke explained.

"Then this will make things more interesting."
