Rejoice, you're getting a long chapter. Hehe, R&R... or it might turn out short, this one or the next will be long, depends on the computer and my family really.

"Come on Nii-san!" A little girl called to the purple haired boy and the blonde haired boy behind her as she ran away.

The two boys just laughed and looked at eachother and smiled. The looked forward at the young girl who ran away, truly believing they were her brothers.

"Should we tell her?" The blonde asked looking at the dark haired boy.

"We got to sooner or later Krad-san, and my tamer's not giving me a choice. Sooner." The dark haired boy, Dark, replied to the blonde's, Krad's, question.

"Mellisa-chan!" Krad called running after the girl.

"What is it Nii-san?" Mellisa asked turning around.

"I have to confess something to you... Mellisa-chan... we're..." Krad started noticing the confused look in her eyes. He sighed and took her hand in his and knelt down to meet her face. Krad searched Mellisa's eyes, those beautiful eyes... "Not..."

"We're not your brothers Mellisa-chan." Dark finished coming right out with it. Mellisa looked at Dark confused.

"You're not?" Mellisa asked, hardly taken back.

"No, it's all been a little game you made up in your head, we're not related or anything. We shouldn't even have anything to do with you."

"Dark!" Krad snapped shutting out Dark's rude comments. Krad turned and looked in the girl's face again. "Don't listen to him, he's just rude. Besides, we still love you."

Krad blushed looking away. Why did he say that? He promised he never would, love was never meant to happen for the kaitou and him, and he didn't want to hurt Mellisa. Krad looked at Dark whose sour expression seemed to be killing Mellisa.

"Or I do." Krad confessed staring into Mellisa's eyes. Mellisa blushed and hugged Krad.

"When I grow to the height that I'm supposed to, I'll kiss you... heehee." Mellisa responded to Krad's confession, Krad pulled Mellisa's frail body closer to him.

"But we have to go Krad-san." Dark butted in, his voice was bitter and angry. Was Dark jealous?

"But Dark-san!" Krad complained turning to Dark and leaving Mellisa where she was. "I don't have to go, you do! You're the one who needs to get unattached to this girl!" Krad turned and looked at Mellisa. "I can stay with her for as long as I please. The next time I come back won't be so good, but I can fall in love with her can't I?"

Krad blushed and looked away, Dark knew the thoughts going through his head, he could leave the girl with an offspring, proving Krad loved her. Dark snarled, he didn't like this thought one bit, he hated more than he hated these humans.

Dark smacked Mellisa across the face causing her to fall down, Dark's slap was cold and bitter, it made her face sting, and a small flesh wound.

"Dark!" Krad yelled.

Dark gave Krad a sharp look. Krad stopped complaining, when Dark got mad you didn't mess with him. Dark walked over and took Mellisa's hand.

"We must leave you here to die wench, hopefully we'll meet your old aging body the next time I live." Dark snarled.

Krad's eyes looked away when Mellisa looked to him.

"Krad-kun?" Mellisa called out. Dark and Krad turned from her and walked away. Mellisa quickly jumped up and ran after them, hugging Dark's leg. Dark snarled again, but he hesitated this time, maybe Dark liked her? Mellisa couldn't move from Dark's hit this time. "Don't leave me! Krad-kun! Dark-san! COME BACK!"

Mellisa finally gave up on calling and sat sobbing, choking on her tears. She tried to wipe away the tears, but twice as many came back every time.

Dark hesitated and turned to look at the crying girl. Krad noticed Dark stopped and turned his head to look at him. A flicker of compassion went across Dark's face, but it soon passed.

"Let's go Krad-san." Dark finally said walking again. Mellisa got back her courage and ran to Dark and grabbed his arm, refusing to let go. Krad didn't move a muscle, he'd have to disobey Dark or hurt Mellisa if he did, both with dire consequences. "GET OFF ME!"

Dark threw her off and she landed with a thud. She raised her face up to look at the violent ones she loved so much. It hurt her to see them treating her this way.

"Dark-san..." Krad pleaded, he got his answer with a glare. Krad retreated his pleading hand.

"You want to see us so bad?" Dark asked Mellisa now walking towards her.

"And I want to know why you are so mean now!" Mellisa choked, she was cowering, afraid Dark was going to hit her again. Dark slowly wrapped his arms around her and embraced her.

"You will have to wait until one of us returns to you, we will be here waiting for you..." Dark explained placing his hand on her forehead. An aura so strong it could someone who touched if they weren't meant to emitted from Dark's hand. "There's a catch however, you must find out yourself... why I did this, then the curse will be broken, then you may age again. You will remain the view of a sixteen or seventeen year old, but you will grow to your supposed to be height, then you will stay this way until you do what I told you to do. It is a blessing and a curse all in itself."

Maddy almost fainted in Dark's arms, the magic affected her greatly. Maddy took in Dark's scent for the last time.

"I'll wait for you two, forever."

(Present)

"Did Dark-san really do that?" Towa asked shocked.

"I wouldn't be here otherwise..." Maddy growled looking away from the Niwa family.

"So that's why your stalking me? To get back to normal?" Dark asked staring into Maddy's eyes.

"Partly. But I think I know why you did that, because you wanted me to suffer. That's right isn't it? Like in Ice and Dark, people get jealous then they do horrible things to them."

"Dark would never do that!" Daisuke countered holding Dark's arm. "Right Dark?"

"I don't know... maybe." Dark honestly replied staring off into space. Daisuke lowered his gaze and held onto Dark's arm. "I can't remember that far back..."

I can, I just don't want people to know. Dark replied HONEST this time in his head. Dark replayed the moment. It was supposed to turn out different, Dark wasn't supposed to get mad, Krad wasn't supposed to fall in love with Mellisa, Mellisa was supposed to fall in love with him. I did that to make her suffer, because I didn't want her with Krad-san... I wanted to be with her.

Dark looked at Maddy once more. Did he still feel that way? Dark smirked, memories, as long as people had that Dark would live. He didn't want to be forgotten, he couldn't say that never happened, he'd be lying and throwing a memory of him into the dust... then again... it's not the first time.

Dark reached out his hand and removed a strand of hair from Maddy's eyes. She had dyed it that day, it was now a brownish blonde color. Dark didn't feel anything... nothing... Dark wondered what happened to those pictures. They had slipped his mind so much he forgot what Daisuke did with them.

"The pictures!" Dark snarled grabbing Maddy's shoulder. "You had them last didn't you?"

"I thought Dai-chan had them."

"I thought Maddy-chan had them."

"Dammit, you two are useless." Dark growled, Towa shreiked from the next room. "What is it?"

"A True Look At Our Beloved Kaitou Dark-san!" Towa announced. Everyone ran to the next room. All footage, pictures, nothing of anyone, just Dark and the people he was with, maybe a couple of Krad sometimes too. Daisuke blushed as one of his paintings passed the screen.

"They make you look like a monster Dark-san!" Maddy growled wanting to break the TV.

"I am..." Dark whispered.

"Keiji-san!" Daisuke blurted out.

"I knew a guy who tried to see us transform and glomp you all the time was no good!" Dark yelled, trying to sound smart.

Ring Ring.

Everyone silenced.

Ring Ring.

Emiko picked up the phone.

"Niwa residence, Emiko speaking." "Yes he's here." "I'll get him." Emiko put her hand over the speaker of the phone. "Dai-chan sweety!"

"Hello?" "Riku-san!" "Tomorrow?" "I'm kind of busy..." "I see." "Okay, I'll pick you up, see you!"

Daisuke hung up the phone.

Nothing was cheerful on Daisuke's face.

"What happened?" Kosuke and Daiki asked calmly.

"One, she saw that little presentation Keiji-san put on air. Two, she asked me if we could go out tomorrow, she asked me this because Harada-san's still missing" Daisuke replied worridly. "Wonder what happened to her."

"Argentine-san."

So it wasn't uber long, but longer than most chapters. R&R

Ideas are appreciated.
