Crystal Hearts
We can grow only once in our lives. As our love crystallizes and grows, so, too, do our hearts…they are a manifestation of our love. In time, they are given over to the one who inspired them…who wished them happiness. You at least…I wish you happiness…
Chapter 3: Adjustments
"Shouldn't you get a walking stick or something? Not to mention sunglasses...yea... you definitely need those..."
The blonde hissed, "What are you doing here thief?"
Dark grinned, "I just came to see my favorite creepy boy and blind angel until someone's hand landed on my chest."
Krad blushed and pulled his hand away, "Leave."
"My, what hospitality, makes me want to stay here forever and ever!"
"Leave." He repeated.
"I will, I will…later." Krad snarled and started gathering energy into his palm, Darkblinked, "Whoa…no need to get feisty now."
The thief took a step back causing Krad to lose his balance, a moment later the blonde ended up in his arms. Krad blushed and got back up, "Leave now."
"Hai, hai, Dai-chan's just here to drop off his little creepy lover's homework you heartless bastard."
There was a twinge of pain but the hunter ignored it, he glared at the direction of the voice, "Leave."
Dark dropped the books he was carrying and trotted to the door, "Yes, yes I'm leaving now! Goodbye!"
The door slammed shut, Krad stood there silently, ((Satoshi-sama, takeover, now.))
The blue haired boy complied without questions. Satoshi blinked at the books, he picked them up and carried them into the kitchen where he made himself a sandwich.
(That wasn't so bad right?)
((That was beyond hell.))
(There's a notice tonight.)
((…))
-
-Do you think Hiwatari-kun's going to show up tonight-
/Like he's going to miss it. /
-But…-
/But what? Krad/ The thief snorted/with the state he's in, he doesn't reallyhave a choice but to get dragged along. He's not exactly in charge anymore. /
"Dai-chan! Have you changed yet?"
The redhead called back, "Hai!"
-You ready Dark-
/Aren't I always/
"With!" Black wings came over and carried the thief away into the night.
-
((You're really going?))
(Of course.)
Satoshi felt the blonde frown, the entity fell back into his mind and curled up, (You're going to have to face Dark again eventually.)
((I know that.))
(Then why complain?)
((Because…never mind…))
The blue haired boy blinked, shook his head and headed outside.
-
"So you did show up."
"Of course I did, I still have to catch you."
Dark smirked, "Pretty bold statement for you to make, you can't even fly."
The blue haired boy glared at the thief, "I don't need to fly to catch you."
"Another bold statement, tell me, what can you do without Krad."
Satoshi sent Dark another glare while Krad tensed up, ((That bastard…))
(He's mocking me.)
((I'll kill him!))
(What?)
((Let me out, I'm going to kill him for good.))
The blue haired boy was astonished at the sudden determination radiating from the hunter, (Krad?)
((I will kill the thief.))
Satoshi's hair lengthened, the blonde appeared, glaring at the thief, "I'll kill you."
Dark smirked, not that it was seen by the hunter, "So you've finally snapped out of your useless state?"
"You'll regret saying that."
"Will I? That's not very convincing you know."
The blonde remained where he was, ((Satoshi-sama.))
(What?)
((Tell me where I am.))
The boy blinked, he had forgotten that Krad was blind,(You're on theroof of the museum, railings around you about four meters away. And the place leading into the museum's behind you, about 7 steps away.)
Krad gave a little nod and charged towards the thief landing a punch in his stomach. Dark was shocked at first but then he unfurled his wings and took off.
/For someone who can't see, he sure has good aim. /
White wings expanded themselves as the hunter took off after the thief, replying on the magic that surrounded Dark. "Die!"
-He's coming-
/I know that! I'm not blind/
-How does he know where you are-
/Magic, he can sense magic. /
Dark dodged to the right as the blonde tried to set in another punch. "Not bad! Let's see how well your defense is!"
Krad blinked, the thief was getting closer, he flew up hoping to avoid the attack.
(He's coming from the left!)
The blonde flew back, barely dodging it, he heard the thief huff, "Fluke. Bet you can't do that again."
"Just watch me."
(From above.)
Krad moved left, "Satisfied?"
"Not quite!"
An elbow slammed into his back, he fell down back onto the roof, ((Cheap shots from behind.))
Getting up, he winced, wiping blood off his lower lip, "Resorting to cheap shots now are you? You're no better than a thug."
Almost immediately, he was slammed against a wall, "Don't you knowthat you should never taunt a thief?"
Krad snarled, "Really? No one's ever told me that."
Dark pushed him harder against the wall, "You're in no position to be talking back."
The blonde scowled, "You-" then he froze and tensed up, "He's here…"
The thief blinked/what/
"He's here…" Krad repeated a lace of fear attached to his voice.
Dark blinked again and looked around when suddenly a voice rangout, "So, it seems that even though you've been blinded you still have fight in you. Impressive, very impressive indeed."
The thief let go of the hunter and looked over at the direction of the voice, there, in the sky, he saw leathery black wings flying towards them. Golden red eyes never left Krad who stood there, tensed up. Dark grinned, "Hey it's you again! What was it? Hakuchi?"
The demon smirked, "Not quite, it's Aku, try to remember it, it's A-ku."
"I make no guarantees."
"Sou?" The silver haired demon turned his attention back to Krad once again, the blonde sensed the demon approaching him and took an unconscious step back only to find that he had his back to the wall. Aku's smirk broadened, pinning the hunter to the wall he leaned into the croak of the blonde's neck and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you…yet."
Krad tensed up, Dark glared at the demon and got ready to fight.
"You see…I'm here to see how you're doing. Actually you seem to be doing very well, all the better, this way I can have more fun with you." Krad clenched his eyes tight, feeling warm breath on his neck. "I like to have fun with my…prey, before I dispose of them."
The thief frowned, "Are you quite done?"
Aku smirked, "Next time things will be much more interesting, I can assure you that much. You're going to pay for killing my brother." Krad's eyes snapped open as he felt thedemon nip on his neck and pushed him away, the golden-red eyed demon grinned again, "Sensitive huh? All the more fun. Well Krad, until next time."
Dark watched the demon fly away and turned back to the blonde who seemed somewhat dazed, his hand rubbing his neck with disgust. ((I'll kill him.))
"What was all that about?"
"None of your business."
The thief snorted, "None of my business? Since when was it not mybusiness? I'm the one who's supposed to be killing him."
"Well you failed miserably at that."
Dark frowned, "What's that suppose to mean?"
Krad leaned against the wall for balance, "You couldn't kill him lasttime, it's my turn, you're useless."
"Hey! Go easy on the insults! Just 'cause I couldn't kill him last time doesn't mean I'm useless! Krad!"
"What?" The blonde snapped, Dark's eyes hardened as he walked towards the hunter, "What do you want?"
"Krad…" The hunter frowned and pushed himself off the wall and headed towards the railing.
Someone grabbed his arm and whirled him around, "What now?" He asked impatiently. Much to his surprise, that someone gently brushed his bangs out of his eyes, he blinked in shock. Old memories rushed back into his mind, he didn't like the feeling, he asked softly, "Dark?"
The thief didn't answer, instead, he pressed his lips against the blondes, Krad gasped in surprise, when he broke the kiss he whispered gently, "I love you…"
Krad blinked, the feeling wasn't new to him, usually it'd make his heart skip a couple beats, then he remembered. He didn't have a heart…not anymore. Frowning, he turned back to the railings and whispered back, "I'll kill you." Then his wings unfurled and he flew off.

((Satoshi-sama?))
The boy hadn't spoken anything other than the directions to get back home. Krad blinked, he had been quiet since the incident on the roof, the blonde frowned, ((Satoshi-sama…))
(Yes?)
((So you are there.))
(Why wouldn't I be?)
((…can we switch back now?))
Satoshi blinked, (You seemed to be doing pretty well back there.)
Krad sighed and began to change back to the blue haired boy, ((You're still shocked at what happened right?))
The boy snapped, (How can I not be?)
((I suppose it's only understandable for you to be surprised.))
Satoshi's fists clenched, (Well…)
((Yes Satoshi-sama?))
(Are you going to tell me your little explanation or not?)
((Explanation?))
(Of why Dark said what he said.)
The blonde smirked, ((Are you embarrassed? Because he told me he loved me?))
(How can you sound so uncaring?)
Krad's smirk vanished, ((I don't have a heart, remember?))
Satoshi blinked, no, he had forgotten, (So tell me what happened.)
((That was in the past, this is now.))
(I want to know.)
((Maybe another time.))
The blue haired boy frowned, (You don't tell me, I force you back out again.)
The hunter chewed on his lower lip, how dare the boy threaten him like that? ((Very well…I'll tell you…tomorrow.))
(You better…)
((I will…))
Satoshi grumbled before heading out of his bedroom to go take a shower.

Daisuke blinked-Dark-
/Yea/
-You love Krad-
/Yea/
-Will you tell me what happened-
/No./
-Dark-
The thief pouted/I don't want to tell/
-Tell me-
/It was a long time ago./
-So? Everything was a long time ago.-
/But/
-Tell me.-
/But…/
-Tell me-
Dark let out a whine, "But I don't wanna!"
-DARK-
The thief frowned, "With!"
On his way home, the redhead complained to him non-stop -Tell me.-
/No./
-Tell me.-
/No./
-Tell me-
/No/
-I demand you tell me right this instant Dark Mousy-
Dark frowned, Daisuke was being damn persistent…like a fly that just wouldn't die. /Fine…another time./
-No! You, tell, me, right, now-
The thief sighed as he landed on the boy's balcony/Fine, fine, you win./
-Tell me.-
/Tomorrow./
-You're stalling.-
/No I'm not, I'm just saying that you need your sleep./
-You better tell me tomorrow…-
/I don't lie…that often…anyways…you go and sleep./
-You better not forget.-
Dark mentally snapped/Fine…you better get ready for a long, long story./
The thief changed back to the boy, the redhead huffed and folded his arms, he better not forget.
/Tomorrow/
The redhead frowned and got changed, then he got under his coversand went to sleep.
