That evening, at 11, Satoshi was waiting at the museum. He knew that Dark would be there in a few seconds, he could fell the resonance from his bracelet.
"Ah, Commander, punctual as usual…"
Satoshi looked up to see the midnight dark wings circling above him to land in front of him.
"How nice of you to drop by, Dark. But I have to tell you that you won't get away this night."
Dark smirked and took a step closer.
"Oh, I believe I will."
"You do? Why?" Satoshi asked. Dark smirked.
"Because if you lock me up, you'll also lock up the cute little Daisuke."
Satoshi stared a bit, wondering what Dark was talking about. But before he could say anything Dark spoke up again.
"I wondered when you would be so kind to remove this bracelet?"
"I don't see a reason too do it. I actually think it is quite convenient. That way you won't be able to run away." Satoshi explained.
"Oh, well, I guess it can also be a bit convenient when you want to see Dai-chan…" Dark shrugged
"What do you mean?" Satoshi said, a bit suspicious. Dark was clearly up to something.
"Oh, don't deny it…" Dark smirked.
"Cut the crap and tell me what the hell you are talking about, Dark!"
"Are you serious? You don't know what I'm talking about? I mean even Krad knows, and we both know how slow his thoughts is, when he's not thinking about killing me…"
"What?" ::Krad, you know what he's talking about?::
:Yes, unfortunately I do, Satoshi-sama. But you better figure it out yourself. We have agreed on that.:
::What? You've talked to Dark? When?:: But Krad kept his silence, and Satoshi turned his attention back to Dark.
"Okay, two things! First, when have you and Krad been scheming, without me or Niwa knowing? And second, what is it you both know?"
"Have you ever wondered why you sometimes wake up, and feel like you haven't slept at all?"
"You mean…?"
"Yes, Krad and I sometimes meet in the night, when both you and Daisuke are sleeping."
"Why would you meet? I thought you hated each other…?"
"Yeah, but really, who can resist that hot angel, when-"
"Okay, enough! Forget I ever asked!" Satoshi seemed horrified. "Back to the matter at hand… What is it you have been talking about all evening?"
"What? The fact that you are totally lost in Daisuke, or that I want you to remove the bracelet?"
"Wha- what?! I have no such feelings for Niwa-kun!"
"Are you sure about that? In all those times you have pinned him to the wall or something, have you never wanted to just keep him there? You know I am right…"
Satoshi glowered at Dark but couldn't find something to say, because deep down he knew Dark was right. I even Krad said so it was true. As much as he hated to admit it, Krad knew more about his feelings than himself, because he always suppressed them.
"You finally realized something, huh, commander? Then let's get down to business. What'll you do about it?"
"Do about it? Nothing… Even though I like him, that doesn't mean I'm going to say anything… He has enough in the Harada twins, which also mean that he won't be interested in a boy."
"Che… I'm disappointed. Three wrong saying in only two sentences… Firstly, you don't like him; you are totally lost in him. Secondly, Daisuke doesn't even like the Haradas anymore. He is just too naïve to realize that his first crush isn't necessarily his sacred maiden… And thirdly, he's beginning to realize that he prefers boys…"
"Eh? So that means he's not with any of the Haradas anymore?" Satoshi almost sounded hopeful.
"Yep… Well that, now that's settled, what are you going to do about it?"
"Why do I have to do something? I don't know what to do… How can you expect me to do something when I've only realized I liked him a minute ago?" Satoshi was nearly pleading Dark for an answer to how he should act with his newfound feelings.
"Why you have to do something? Because you want him, and I'm tired of watching the two of you apart, when you belong together! I should tell you that Daisuke is just as lost in you, as you are in him, but he doesn't know it, like you…"
Satoshi thought about it for a moment, and then he became suspicious again. "Okay, I think I believe you in all this. But what do you get out of it?"
"Me? Nothing besides the pleasure of seeing Dai happy again…"
Satoshi stared at the thief. He was not sure if he could trust him or not. But before he could say anything Dark took of.
"Well commander, it is time for me to go. Remember, at a time like this a chain like that could come in handy!"
Satoshi looked confused at his silver bracelet when Dark shouted his last word to him.
"Make him happy, commander! You're the one to do it!!" Then he was gone.
