"Fine. You want a life? You want to be in my shoes, Krad? Well then…" A small click was heard and the restraining feathers that were previously tying Krad to Kokuyoku were released.

"Starting today, you'll get to experience the life of Dark Mousy."

Krad felt something cold and hard clasping onto his neck. His eyes trailed down to see Dark holding a leash that was connected to his collar.

"Of course, you can't live the life of the Infamous Dark Mousy without a price. So, instead of sealing us together, I'm going to make you my little pet." He sneered.

Krad's facial expression became deadly as he bared his teeth. "Hmm? Is the name 'pet' too harsh? Okay, fine, since I'm nice enough to acknowledge you as an equal. How's boy toy? Because I know I will have fun toying with you." Dark wickedly grinned and chuckled.

"Your life purpose was to continuously seal us together, steal my artworks and stop their power. Why the sudden change?" The suspicious blonde inquired, furrowing his eyebrows together.

"Well, why not? We always do the same old thing and I like the fact that now I can make you my slave." The violet-headed boy continued to tease fervently. Another threatening glare was shot at the thief.

"Like hell I'm going to let you do this-" Numerous bone shattering shocks spread throughout Krad's body, electrifying him. He let out a piercing yell in pain.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Dark paused. "If you are to deny me as your master, I shall shock you with this portable remote control." He held up a small black rectangular object with a button and a dial on it. As anyone would have guessed, Krad tried to lunge for the dreaded object, but Dark yanked his leash causing him to fall on his knees, coughing.

"Ooh this is fun," Dark kneeled down besides the gagging blonde. "How do you like it, now that I'm the one doing the torturing?" Krad's bangs hid his face, but Dark knew fully well that Krad was currently filled with pure hatred.

The purple-headed boy slowly got up, pulling on the leash gently, motioning his slave to follow.

"Don't worry, Krad. I won't abuse my power… that much." Dark subconsciously tried to stick his remote in his pockets, but looked down to see he wasn't wearing any clothes with pockets. Sheesh, the one time I need pockets, Emiko doesn't make them.

He couldn't keep holding the remote, since he could easily lose it or it could be stolen by a specific someone. Hmm…where could I put this so Krad could not get to it… A thought crossed his mind, but it seemed like an unlikely place. Feeling desperate for Krad not to steal his precious electric remote, he stretched out the waistband of his pants and dropped the remote in.

"I know you won't ever reach in there." He replied coolly, seeing Krad wide-eyed.

The enslaved boy narrowed his eyes. "You fucking bastard."

"Well, seeing how we both don't have parents, aren't we both bastards?" Dark chuckled delightfully at his pun. He nudged Krad to walk in front of him, in case he tried to do anything suspicious. Krad begrudgingly trudged forward while grumbling.

"Oh, and by the way, from now on, you are to address me by Dark-sama, got that?" Dark beamed with a wicked grin.

Krad turned around in bewilderment. "The hell I am. If you think I'm just going to say whatever you-" Electric shocks zapped Krad's body, causing him to let out a another yell. He once again fell to the ground coughing and groaning. What the hell? He didn't even use the remote!

"You might be wondering how I shocked you." Dark answered, as if reading Krad's mind. "Well, let's just say I'm multi-talented."

So the rumors were true, he is a pervert. Krad thought indifferently.

"So, Kraddy-kun. Let's go." He jerked the collar once again, indicating Krad to get up and start moving. The glaring blonde got up and resumed walking.

- At the Niwa Residence -

"Tadaima (1)…" Dark opened the door with a sigh, knowing that he would be scolded by Emiko.

"Dark! What are you doing here! Where's Dai-chan! And-" The spunky woman stopped abruptly when she saw a blonde, that she recognized as 'White Wings,' come ambling after Dark. Before she could go into her crazy fighting mode with her costume and katana, Dark held up his hands.

"Wait wait wait, Emiko! Before you try and kill him, I brought him home for a purpose." Dark pointed towards Krad's direction. "See? I have a leash on him and everything, so he can't escape!"

"Dark! You're supposed to be sealed with him! He's not a stray animal! What were you thinking when you decided to bring such a dangerous entity into our home!" She shrieked while continuously beating Dark on the head.

The sight of this made Krad smile in amusement. Being beaten by a woman. How pathetic. Dark had caught a glimpse of Krad's reaction and stared at him.

"You smiled." Krad blinked in confusion. Emiko had also stopped pounding Dark and glanced at his other half.

"No, I didn't." The blonde huffed.

"Yes you did. You smiled."

"No, I didn't. Shut up."

"Yes you-" Krad angrily punched Dark in the arm and crossed his arms like a little stubborn child. "Shut up." Dark laughed at the unusual cuteness the blonde actually contained.

"You should smile more, lighten up a little." Dark's comment actually offended Krad more than it helped.

"I said shut up." The annoyed blonde replied again.

Krad then felt a sudden movement behind him and turned his head. Emiko was gently stroking his hair with a quizzical look.

"Krad-kun, you have such lovely hair. It's a shame you don't treat it right." Before Krad could counter her comment, she poked at his clothes. "And where did you get these? You'll never look handsome under such clothing?" There was a gust of wind as Emiko ran upstairs and in a flash she came back with multiple items.

"Here. Try on some of Dark's clothes for now. I'll make you new clothes soon. Oh, and I'll do your hair afterwards." Emiko went on and on as she strode into the bedroom. Krad was unsure of how to react and blinked a couple of times. He opened his mouth, but Dark interjected.

"Don't even try back-talking. She won't listen to you. A bit of advice though: Don't struggle, it'll make things worse. Good luck with her! She's worse than a chain." Right after he finished his sentence, Krad was hauled into the bedroom by the eager and determined mother.

Dark sighed and smiled a bit.

'Dark, how are we supposed to live like this?' A familiar voice of his Tamer announced.

"Don't worry, Daisuke. I'll think of a way for us to co-exist." He reassured.

'But you said that wasn't possible. If Riku returns my feelings, then-'

"I know I know." The violet-haired boy waved off the red head's comment. "Maybe Satoshi will help us since he's so freaking smart." Suddenly, Dark heard a loud cry. He chuckled lightly. Must be Krad.

"Krad-kun. Try not to move so much! You're messing up your hair!" He heard Emiko shout.

- 15 minutes later -

The door opened up and Dark pushed himself up from leaning against the wall. Emiko was first to pop out from the doorway.

"Krad-kun." She waved her hand, motioning Krad to come out. "Come on, you look wonderful!"

"I'm NOT going to come out like this." Emiko gave one of her super angry do-what-I-say kind of glares, but Krad, being the homicidal blonde, did not give in.

"Yeah, come on Krad. I'm sure you look very handsome." Dark teased.

"Shut up, Da-" Emiko forcefully pulled Krad out by the arm, causing him to stumble out into the hallway.

Dark raised his eyebrows. 'Holy crap' was all he could conjure out of his gawking mouth.
