Complete Opposites

Chapter Five: The Art of Pouting

Dark opened the door to the younger two's classroom, "Dai-chan! Lunch!"

The redhead dug through his backpack and took out a lunchbox, "Here, don't give it back to me when you're done."

The two headed out the door, Risa stopped them, "Dark-san! Can I have lunch with you? I even have some extra if you'd like!"

Krad frowned and glanced at Dark who was trying to think of a nice way to get out of his little predicament. "Risa-chan, I'd love to but-"

The blonde bit her lip, "Dark…" The thief looked over and his jaws nearly dropped. Krad stood there looking very sad, even her pigtails looked a little droopy. She was looking down, Dark could've sworn there were tears welling up in her eyes; she gave a little sniffle, "I thought you were having lunch with me…" Her lower lip stuck out a bit in a minor pout, not a complete exaggerated pout like the girl's, she let out a little sigh, "but I guess if you're going to go with her, I'll just go and eat with Daisuke and Satoshi…"

Satoshi raised a brow. This was a Krad he'd never seen or known of until now, it was too…un-Krad-like to be Krad, "You have a lunch?"

Krad bit her lip again and lowered her gaze to her feet, "No…I forgot it back at the house…"

Dark just gawked as the blonde's cuteness-meter shot up. Krad just gave a little whimper and a sigh and started walking back down the hallway, within five steps there were boys crowding around her, "You can have my lunch!"

"Are you hungry?"

"I have a spare obento!"

"My mom makes great food!"

"I'll share mine with you!"

"You want me to buy you lunch?"

"Will you go out with me?"

Krad gave a little smile and opened her mouth to say something but then someone grabbed her by the waist, to her surprise; it was Dark, "Hey, I never declined, so don't go and decide on your own that I'm going to be ditching you for even a second."

"Dark…"

"You're my girl, remember?"

The boys glared at him, "If you were her boyfriend, you wouldn't have left her for another girl like that! You're pretty stupid for making Hikari-chan upset! She's the girl of any guy's dreams! Don't be so selfish!" A chorus of agreement followed.

The blonde thought quickly, she gave a quick bow and faked a smile, "Minna, thank you for worrying about me, but I'm fine, really! Dark's just having a rough day but thank you!"

The three stared at the blonde who was waving to the boys as they left. The mob left with an unsatisfied mumble. Dark stared at Krad, "And where did you learn how to do all that?"

Krad blinked innocently, "Do what, Dark?"

The way she said his name made him draw back, "Nevermind, you hungry?"

The blonde nodded, she inwardly smirked, as long as she was stuck like that, she might as well make the most of it, "Somewhat."

"Good, come on, let's go eat."

The two left, Risa was shocked, after she came out of her shock she started pouting, "I can't believe she did that! How low can you stoop?"

Riku just rolled her eyes for the unknown time that day, "You're not much better Risa…"

Daisuke and Satoshi followed the two, "Wow…I never knew Krad could do that."

"Me neither…just to think…I'll have to live with her…"

The redhead giggled, "Well at least she's cute."

Satoshi raised a brow, "What you trying to imply?"

"Nothing. Where'd they go?"

"Up the roof."

The two began to walk, "Krad seems to be enjoying this. She's got everyone's attention…"

"Yes, I can imagine her taking pleasure in getting all the attention from people."

The redhead blinked, "I never thought of her as someone who'd like attention though…"

"Me neither, maybe she only wants someone's attention."

"Dark's."

Satoshi nodded, "There you go, now you've got the idea."

"Bizarre…"

"Beyond…"

They headed to the roof, Dark grinned, "You're so cute I could kiss you right now."

Krad frowned, "You've done that enough today, thank you very much."

"Ne Krad, you learn pretty fast you know that?"

"What are you talking about?"

"That little show back there. I'm guessing that you've gotten used to being a girl?"

"Hm? You know…if that little switchy thing never happened none of this would have happened…"

"That meaning you wouldn't be my girlfriend."

"Wha?"

Dark grinned, "No, you'd be my boyfriend."

The blonde blushed, "I would not! I meant that as in me not being separated from Satoshi-sama and stuck here being a girl, a human nonetheless!"

"Hey I'm not complaining! I think it's a good thing!"

Krad snorted, "You wouldn't complain, you've got-"

"Ahem…" The two looked over, Satoshi was watching them boredly, "Are you two quite done? Or shall we leave and let you argue some more?"

Dark smirked, "Continue Krad, I've got what?"

"You're still a guy!"

"With a really cute girlfriend."

Satoshi sighed and adjusted his glasses, Krad frowned, she asked in a worried tone, "Satoshi?"

Dark followed the frown, jealous meter rising, rising…Daisuke smiled, "Let's have lunch ne?"

So the four sat down while only two had lunch, "Aren't you hungry Krad?"

Krad shrugged, "Not really."

Dark took a bite of his food then looked up again, "Are you sure?"

"Yea."

"…are you really sure?"

"Yes."

The thief shrugged, "This tastes awfully good…"

"…are you trying to tempt me?"

"No…maybe…yes..."

Krad sighed, "Would it satisfy you if I ate something?"

"Oh yes, absolutely."

"Fine, pass me something to eat."

Instead of what Krad had in mind, Dark smirked, "Open your mouth."

"What?"

"Come on."

"Can't I eat by myself?"

"No."

Satoshi sighed, "Just do what he wants or else he'll never shut up."

Unable to disobey her tamer, Krad opened her mouth and was fed by her ex-worse-enemy and current boyfriend, "Are you happy now, Dark?"

He smirked, "Oh yes, very happy, very happy indeed."

At the door of the roof, Risa watched, Riku right behind her looking bored and confused at the same time, "Look at her! She's surrounded by boys! That's disgusting!"

"So why are we here?"

"Isn't that disgusting?"

Riku just raised a brow and crossed her arms, "So what? You're surrounded by girls does that make you a lezzie?"

Back in class the two remained just as bored as they were in the morning. Krad stared at the window and sighed wondering how she was going to put up with another month of this. Then she nearly jumped out of her seat when a bird flew straight into the window. The blonde just stared wide eyed as it slid off the glass. That side of birds, she had never seen before. Ever.

"Krad?" She looked up, "Would you continue?"

She nodded and continued where the other student had left off, "As the crusades continued in Europe…"

And that's how the rest of the school day went.

Dark stretched, "Well that was as boring as hell. Only god knows how Dai-chan survives this everyday."

"A mystery indeed."

"You think so too?"

Krad rolled her eyes, "They come to get educated unlike us who are here for whatever reason."

"No, that's only Dai-chan, creepy boy passed university already remember?"

"He's here to get a social life."

The blonde covered her mouth, not believing what she had just said, the thief just laughed, "So you think he needs one too."

"I didn't mean it that way!"

"Oh yes you did."

"No I didn't!" Krad brought out her newly learnt skill and pouted.

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't! Stop being so-" What was that word again? A second later it came to her, oh yes…mean… "Stop being so mean! Dark! You jerk! I'm not talking to you anymore you…you idiot!"

With that said and pouted, Krad stormed off to find the comfort of her host and his redheaded friend. Dark just stood there dumbfound, a minute later when the blonde had actually disappeared, he chased after her, "Hey wait! Krad! Get back here!"

The blonde stomped down the hallway towards Satoshi, Dark still chasing her, "Come on Satoshi, let's go home."

Satoshi just blinked as Krad dragged him by the arm out the door, "Krad?"

"Dark's an idiot!"

So that's what was happening, he sighed and called back to the redhead, "Niwa, can you close my locker for me?"

Daisuke called back, "Yea sure!"

"Thank you!"

The redhead raised a brow at the thief beside him who had collapsed onto his knees, "Mou! She didn't have to get that upset!"

Daisuke just gave him that funny look which made him look older and wiser than he really was, "What'd you do this time?"

"What do you mean this time?"

"Fine, what'd you do now?"

"All I did was tell the truth!"

"About?"

"About creepy boy needing a life."

"He has a life!"

"Not a social one!"

Daisuke crossed his arms, Dark was afraid that he would storm out on him too, "That's not true Dark. I can see why Krad's so upset with you, I demand you go and apologize you hi-her right now."

"B-but…"

"No buts! Now move your butt!"

"You're only doing this to avenge your lover boy…" Dark grumbled under his breath.

"What?"

"Nothing!"

The redhead just shrugged it off, "Well? Get moving!"

The thief sighed and dragged his feet out the door.

"You weren't all that insulted so why'd put on the show?"

Krad smirked, "Whatever are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb, you and your little pouting act."

"I was merely testing out what I learned today, Satoshi-sama."

Satoshi raised a brow, "I can imagine how amused you must be."

"Amused is the right word, and of course I couldn't let Dark get away with insulting my tamer now can I?"

The blue haired boy got the goosebumps for three reasons, first of all, it was Krad saying that to him, secondly, it was Krad, a girl, saying that to him, third reason was because it Krad the homicidal blonde, in girl version saying it to him. How freakier could it get? Luckily for him, the blonde just smirked and headed upstairs, "What the hell…"

Once up the stairs, the rummaged through her closet filled with new clothes, pants, she wanted pants and out of her skirt! Finally, after going through all the pants she had, she pulled out a pair of jeans and the first long sleeves she could reach. The blonde put on the pair of dark blue jeans, it was nice to be in pants again, then she pulled the pigtails off, brushed her hair and slipped the shirt on only to come to a horrible conclusion.

Although it was a black somewhat tight-ish long sleeves, it wasn't very warm since it wasn't very thick and it was a low cut, and the fact that it had a hole on the stomach which exposed her bellybutton probably had something to do with it. Oh well, the main objective was to get pants, and she really didn't want to change her top, it was annoying having to decide what to wear. The doorbell rang, Krad heard Satoshi answering it. She looked herself over one last time before flicking her hair and heading downstairs.

"So where's Krad?"

"She went upstairs the last time I saw."

"I see…" The two looked at each other somewhat paranoid.

"Why are you here?"

"Dai-chan made me." The redhead's foot landed on Dark's rather heavily, he winced, "I came to apologize…"

"Oh…Krad should be coming down soon."

"If I didn't know any better, I would've said that she was either your older sister or considerably older girlfriend but too bad that's not a possibility since she's my girlfriend and I'd kill anyone who tries to oppose to the idea…"

"Older sister? Girlfriend? Now there's a thought."

"Kra-" Dark's jaw wouldn't close up, he gawked at the blonde looking sexy in casual clothes.

"Must you do that every single time? I thought you were here to do something…"

The thief blinked, "Right, I came to apologize." Krad raised a brow, Dark inhaled and said the dreaded two words, "I'm sorry."

The blonde smirked, "I was just playing around but still, apology accepted, care to come in?"

"Don't mind if I do." Dark stepped inside and looked around, "Looks the same from this morning…"

Krad gave him a funny look, "Why wouldn't it be?"

While the older two talked or did whatever they did, Daisuke and Satoshi headed elsewhere, "So how's your curse?"

"She's surprisingly…okay…"

"That's good, Dark's been very…Dark-like…"

"Sounds like hell."

Daisuke sighed, "Oh yea…"

Dark smirked as he rummaged through the blonde's closet looking for matching clothes. "Whoa, you have to wear these one day, soon! They'll look great on you!"

Krad just gave him a funny look from her bed which was located in the guestroom, "What?" The thief pulled out a black skirt that was around knee-length along with a white blouse/dress shirt. Krad shook her head, "No way in hell…"

"But Krad!"

"No."

"Bu-"

"No."

"B-"

"No."

"A-"

"No."

"-"

"No!"

Dark pouted, "Co-"

"No!" Krad crossed her arms waiting for the thief to talk, but he didn't, finally learning his lesson. He opened his mouth but then was silenced before he could get any sound out with a "No."

"Fine! Fine! But I'm telling you, you're going to wear that some day, whether it be your choice or not!"

"Dark! We have to go home!"

The thief strolled over to the blonde and pecked her on the head, "Well I have to go, see you tomorrow, Krad-chan."

The blonde blushed and threw a pillow at him as he laughed and ran out the door, well that apology couldn't have gone any better. In his own personal opinion. Now all he needed was a plan to make Krad wear it, the dress. Oh yes…evil plotting is always fun. Daisuke just raised a brow as the thief walked back home with a smirk on his face, "I'm guessing you two made out-I mean up."

"Yup! I can't wait for tomorrow…"

Daisuke just bit his lip and wondered what his alter ego was up to.

Nya
