A/N: A'ight. Well, sorry for the long delay, but 1) I was pulling my hair out and crying for I reached a point where I hadn't planned out very well and got stuck... 2) was sick and couldn't think anyways (Still sick... Will probably always be sick -cries in the corner.-) 3) High school started and I've been run ragged trying to memorize me schedule and get all my supplies while trying to complete homework 4) The Japanese final was this Wednesday and I have needed to study because I really need to pass this class AND 5) My computer keeps crashing. -cries-

But my work shall come quicker I hope... Though I have dance starting up (Damn it! I don't wanna be in hip hop, Ms. Teacher Ma'am... e.e And where are my boys!), and I may be in theatre this year. Oh. And training for life guarding. -Nod, nod- Chiisai Hito needs a job. 'Cause Chiisai Hito is turning 16 soon.

Anyways, please enjoy. -Bow-

"So you do know what you have to do now," Satoshi said, looking meaningfully into Daisuke's eyes. Daisuke gulped slightly, eyes wider than American dinner plates.

"Not exactly...?" Daisuke asked, face becoming apologetic. Satoshi repressed a sigh.

"You have to get the necklace and take it to the ring."

"Oh... Wait... So where's the ring?"

"That's the problem. I don't know yet. The last I heard of it was when it was in Germany. That was about 3 years ago, and it's very likely it has moved since then. I shall find the museum and ask where it went from there. Until I find it, you should go home and recover..." Satoshi said, eyes directed at the wall near Daisuke's head.

"Isn't there anything I can do to help?" Daisuke said, moving so that he would be in Satoshi's direct view. Daisuke's eyes had widened significantly- he was feeling slightly hurt.

"I don't know Daisuke..." Satoshi said, redirecting his glance again.

"But you saved my life, and now you're helping me STEAL something!" Daisuke said, even more hurt since Satoshi looked away... Again. "Maybe I could like... Cook for you... Or clean or something..." Daisuke said, scrambling off the bed to dive into Satoshi's view again.

"No, I really don't thi-"

"DAMN IT SATOSHI! I'M DOING IT, OKAY?" Satoshi just raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"...Fine..."

"I DON'T CARE... Wait? You said fine?" Daisuke said, breaking off from his rehearsed argument, shocked.

"Yeah..." Satoshi replied, standing up.

"Oh..." Daisuke blushed slightly, edging towards the bed now that Satoshi was meeting his gaze now. Daisuke smiled cutely and Satoshi thought his heart would stop.

'Hmm. You're being careless, Master Satoshi,' Krad stated, sensing his moment was coming soon. (But mucking it up with that statement...) Satoshi ignored him.

"But you should rest now. I'll get you a phone. Your parents are probably worried," Satoshi finished as he left the room. Daisuke climbed back onto the bed, huffing slightly as he was still weak form nearly dying. He laid down waiting for Satoshi...

(A/N: Page Break... They won't work for me any more... It makes me cry.)

'Dear Master Satoshi... Why can't you just let your feelings take over?" Krad said as Satoshi left the room.

'You know why...' Satoshi wasn't in the mood to talk to Krad right now...

'So cold... How will you ever get that Niwa to like you if you always act so cold,' Krad said, hypocritically.

"Just stop, okay?" Satoshi mumbled under his breath, as close to blushing as he ever got. He found a cordless phone and stood up straight, pausing for a little.

'Why? Am I making you upset? You just can't admit that you like him."

'You're right...' Satoshi thought, becoming slightly dizzy. 'It would hurt too much...'

'That's right... But it hurts now, too, doesn't it?' Krad said in a mockingly comforting tone. He could tell he was winning.

'Y-yes...' Satoshi thought feeling helpless under Krad's influence. He lost control for a second and came crashing onto his knees, pale as a ghost, eyes wide and mouth agape.

'Then let me take over... I can make this all go away...' Krad said as his mental self engulfed his tamer's mental self...

Daisuke had been feeling Dark wake up in his mind. Well... The thief was okay. That was good... Right?

'Dark?' Daisuke asked softly into his mind.

'Mmmf... Daisuke?' Dark replied.

'Ah... Good... You're awake,' Daisuke said, smiling.

'Ye-' Dark was cut off by a thud outside the room. 'What was that?'

'I don't know,' Daisuke replied, hopping off the bed and hurrying out of the room.

"No! I know what you're doing!" Satoshi said as Daisuke entered the room. Daisuke was nearly thrown back by a sudden gust of wind. Satoshi's hair had grown longer, and it looked as if he was well on his way to transforming.

"I won't let you!" Satoshi exclaimed. Daisuke braced himself against any other sudden gusts of wind and hurried to Satoshi.

"Satoshi! What's happening?" Daisuke asked, though he knew full well. Satoshi looked at Daisuke, eyes wide and pained.

"Satoshi! Fight it! Don't let him win," Daisuke said, oblivious to the fact he might just make it worse. Daisuke knelt down right beside Satoshi and grabbed the other's shoulders. He hoped this would work...

"D... Daisuke..." Satoshi said his voice weak and his eyes wild. It wasn't working...

"Satoshi... Please! Don't let him out!" Daisuke said, eyes watering. Not ONLY could this be another death opportunity, but Daisuke could also lose his Satoshi.

'Let Creepy Boy go and run!' Dark wasn't helping and Satoshi's hair was growing much longer.

"No! I want to stay here!" Daisuke yelled out loud. Satoshi was growing taller as well.

"Daisuke..." Satoshi was gripping tightly to Daisuke's arms, afraid that if he let go, he would lose to Krad.

"Satoshi!" Daisuke replied, shaking the other slightly. Tears were streaming down his eyes now. Satoshi saw the tears and time seemed to stop. Satoshi felt as if his heart was ripping. Seeing Daisuke cry was like... having a bus run over you and back up over you, only to run right over you again. But for some reason, the tears allowed Satoshi to throw off Krad, pushing the angel to the deepest depths of his mind. Daisuke was now sobbing uncontrollably into Satoshi's chest, trembling for fear of his life and fear for Satoshi's. The redhead was grasping the other at the arms so tight that they nearly cut off circulation.

So Daisuke winced when Satoshi put an arm around him, pulling him closer. He looked fearfully up into Satoshi's face. An uncharacteristic smile graced the commander's face as he raised a hand to wipe one of Daisuke's cheeks.

"Thank you... Daisuke," Satoshi said. Daisuke broke down and flung himself onto Satoshi, wrapping his arms around Satoshi and causing them to fall sideways.

"Satoshi... I was so scared..."

"Daisuke..." The redhead was trembling still. Satoshi patted the top of the other's head awkwardly, pulling Daisuke up with him into a sitting position. Daisuke looked up and met Satoshi's eyes, his own bloodshot. "I don't know if you should stay here much longer."

"But why?"

"Because I don't want you hurt..." Satoshi looked away, pushing Daisuke away from him.

"But... I want to make sure you're okay..." Daisuke tried to resist the push.

"...Daisuke, The best way for you to make sure I'm okay... Is to stay away from me." Satoshi glanced at Daisuke.

"Why?" Daisuke was becoming irritated.

"Because... You are the key to my transformation..."

Daisuke could barely speak, but he managed a "W-what?"

"Daisuke... I love you..."

A/N: So... I'm sorry for the delay, but I, again, had serious trouble keeping up with my life. I also seem to be increasing the length of my chapters... Yey? I promise it won't always be this log that you have to wait. Except in November. That is NaNoWriMo, and I am entering, kay? Yeah. That will take up a lot of my time. Just to warn you! x.x

But seriously. If you think I'm slacking, send me a message. -nod, nod-

Review? Please? Make Chiisai Hito a happy person?
