CHAPTER II
"Go on a date with me, Kraddie-kins."
Krad stopped in the middle of his attack, his energy ball glowed like the last effort of a freaking light bulb right before going completely broken. Dark continued flashing his oh-so-manly-and-sexy-and-whatever-compliment-input grin while looking at his lovely other half, totally ignoring the bewildered expression in golden eyes.
The air froze into thick silence.
One could only hear sounds of a certain blond twitching. Uh oh… not good.
"I beg your pardon?" Was the first thing Krad managed to say. Choke out to be exact.
As far as I'm concerned, he's just asked you out, Krad. Satoshi provided helpfully in his mind, chuckling for God-know-what reasons. Satoshi chuckling… oh yeah… The world was gonna explode.
You know that's not what I mean, Satoshi-sama.
Satoshi was about to say something when Dark repeated his earlier request again, this time as slowly as possible:
"I said, go. on. a. date. with. me. Kraddie-kins."
The fallen angel growled. Really, what kind of idiot would throw a joke in a situation like this? He thought, fuming inwardly (predictably outwardly later) as Dark's grin kept getting wider and wider. Oh well, that kind of idiot.
"I heard you perfectly well, thief. That's why I demand an explanation."
"Aw, c'mon, I can't ask my beautiful counterpart out?"
The purple-haired man pouted, earning a glare from said 'beautiful counterpart'. Golden eyes narrowed dangerously.
"That's not a very good distraction, if that's what you're planning."
Like hell it wasn't a good distraction. The hunter actually did have a funny feeling in his stomach. Like vomitting.
"What? You don't trust me? I'm hurt!" Amethyst eyes faked a pained look, despite Dark's grin threatening to split his face into two. So much fuuuuuuun…
Dark…Said Daisuke warningly.
What now?
Stop playing around!
I was just having fun! It's not everyday you see that side of his ya know? All confusing and not knowing what to do…
That's not it. He knows he's gonna kill you, which means, us.
Ya thinkin' too much.
Dark!
Okay, okay, I'll tell him now... Or, we can wait two more mi..
DARK!
Geez, you're no fun…
"So Krad-chan..." Dark snapped back to present, just about when Krad decided to kindly wake him up from his and the Niwa's little inner world… with an energy ball. Dark quickly lifted off and dodged the attack. "… what's your answer?"
"My pleasure to tell you…" The fallen angel smirked "HELL NO!"
And along with that went another block of light. Dark immediately put up a barrier to denfend himself.
"What 'bout a bet?"
That caught the hunter's attention. Krad stopped in his movement again, white wings spread proudly in the air. Now he was curious. Satoshi was as well curious about what the thief was going to say.
"What kind of bet?"
"We fight. If you lose, you'll do whatever I say, and vice versa. Sounds good?"
The blond said nothing. He was too busy drowning in his thought. It wasn't his way to ever turn down a challenge. His pride wouldn't let him do that. Besides, if he lost the bet (and you had to seriously consider the word 'if'), what could the thief possibly do to him? Niwa wouldn't let Dark kill him, he was in Satoshi's body for that matter… And if he won, which was very likely to happen, oh what he could do to that thief… The hunter could clearly imagine the beautiful future, in which his little prey helplessly lay there, while Krad himself bent further and further down…
… And chopped down Dark's head. How romantic.
Oh the blood he could spill…
Daisuke gulped constantly. He saw that, oh damn he saw that. All the creepy black whatever-they-were floating around Krad as the homicidal blond chuckled maniacally… And those whatever-they-were definitely contained a murderous atmosphere… The red head's poor heart almost jumped out through his mouth and ran away when the fallen angel looked up. Dark… please reconsider…
Nope. I never take back my words.
"Very well Mousy. I accept your challenge."
And Daisuke fainted.
Dark mentally did a victory dance. Step one: accomplished. Now for step two… He just had to fight like his life depended on it... wait a minute… his life did depend on it… whatever.
"That's what I love about you, Kraddie-kins."
Dark power started to garther in his hand.
It was over.
Dark pinned the blond down on the solid ground. Golden eyes glared furiously into amethyst pool, but the thief just ignored that and held Krad's hands above his head.
And then he had his way with him… eeeeeer… not really. Dark simply smirked and breathed into the angel's ear, dispite all the struggling and growling he received. "You're mine now…" Yeah sure, one could understand his word in a very different way… but 'one', was not Krad. Pity.
How compromising…
Shut up, Satoshi-sama.
And this time the blond could practically feel the smirk of that 14-year-old genius brat.
"Let go of me!"
"Remember our bet Kraddie?"
"Whatever! Let go!"
There it went the oh-so-manly-and-sexy-and-whatever-compliment-input grin. Dark released Krad's hands and sat up, pleased. The blond sat up as well, his frown deepened. That thief must have cheated! There was no way he could lose to a dead rat! (A/N: I heard that, Krad-chan.)
"What do you want?"
"Like I said, go on a date with me?"
"Stop joking and spill, thief."
"You're too smart for your own good, blondie…" Dark pouted "I'll tell you on the way home."
"Home?"
"I mean the Niwa's"
"Let me get this straight" Krad rubbed his temple "You mean you said that to the Harada girl and now she wants to meet your GIRLFRIEND?"
"Yep."
"Then why me?"
" 'Cause you're pretty and I love you?" Dark replied innocently. The blond punched him a little hard on the shoulder. "Ouch, calm down. I got no other choice. All the real girl out there are scary and Towa is dating Argentine so I can't ask her and Emiko is too old and she won't let me touch Kousuke as well and don't you dare mention Daiki to me I also thought of Creepy Boy but Dai-chan swear he'll kick my butt if I do that and…"
"Shut up, thief" Krad roughly put his hand over Dark's mouth. He felt his head aching terribly "Just… shut up."
" 'Kay" The purple-haired man smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "So what do you say?"
"You speak like I had any other choice."
"Nah, actually, you don't."
Krad groaned. Really, why had he agreed to this in the first place? He could just knock the thief unconcious, betrayed his own words and got away peacefully. But noooooo, his dignity just had to be that big.
Where was his bloodily beautiful future when he needed it?
"Here, put this on, Kraddie."
Krad blinked.
And blinked.
And blinked.
… And continued to blink as if he thought that the thief had gone completely and utterly insane. Which he probably did.
"What is that thing?"
"You don't know? It's a dress. Made from silk and is used to cover your bo…"
"I mean why do I have to wear a dress?"
"Because."
"Because?"
"Because all the girls I know wear dresses?"
Krad felt like smacking Dark on the back of the head. And he did.
"I'm not just some girls you know, Mousy. No way in hell I'm gonna wear that… that… that dress!"
Dark shook his head, holding up his index finger "Now now, blondie, you promised to do whatever I said, remember? Now be a good boy and put on that dress. Don't make me to force you into it, 'cause that's not very nice." He added as an after thought "Besides, you can't look more feminine than you already are."
"You… you… you…"
Krad never finished that sentence. He signed exasperatedly, snatching the dress from Dark's hand, and stomped towards the bathroom. Damn stupid-sick-perverted thief and his stupid-sick-perverted sense of fashion!
"Oi, don't forget to put your hair down! It's prettier that way!" The shameless thief called after him, snickering.
"No."
"The bet, Kraddie, the bet."
"ARG!!"
Dark smirked as he crossed his arm.
Mission: accomplished. No death, no survival.
What the hell does that mean?
Nothing. Just feel like saying it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dark sat comfortably on the couch in the living room with Daisuke's parents and grandfather. They, surprisingly, had nothing against his plan of making the homicidal blond his temporary girlfriend, not to mention the fact that Emiko had been over-excited choosing clothes for Krad. There she was, with tons of combs and make-ups, waiting for the angel to come out so that she could do stuff with his pretty, silky blond hair. Poor Kraddie-kins, he had no idea what was gonna happen…
Daisuke shifted nervously in the back of Dark's mind when he heard another loud 'thud' from the bathroom. Something had been broken. Again.
You sure he doesn't need help?
He's got Creepy Boy, don't worry. The kid knows how to deal with girl's stuff.
How so?
He used to dress like one, Dai-Dai. And I almost kissed him. Oops…
The thief's hand quickly flew up to cover his mouth. Here came the sensitive boy… Ouch. His looks do burn...
The door to the bathroom finally open, revealing Krad. Dark lazily glance at the blond.
And he gasped.
Oh. My. God.
"OH MY GOD KRAD-KUN YOU LOOK AWESOME!"
Emiko squealed, appearing in front of the poor blond like rapid fire. Krad blushed a little when he noticed Dark's gaze on him, but the thief didn't even bother to move his eyes away. The fallen angel was dressed in a white knee-length dress which fitted his slender form perfectly, a black ribbon tied loosely around his waist. Krad had had his hair down, golden strands flowed down his shoulder like a spring of sunlight.
He looked beautiful.
Er… Dark?
What?
You're staring.
I'm not.
You are.
Same things happened inside the blond's mind.
He's staring.
No he's not.
Yes he is. And you look like a girl.
The hunter blushed even more. I do not.
Whatever… Oh yeah. He hated that smirk.
Satoshi-sama?
Hn?
Surprise!
Before Satoshi could say anything, Krad had retreated back into his mind. And that left the poor boy… with the dress.
Wha…
Have fun, Satoshi-sama.
No shit!
Yes shit.
Dark was stunned for a moment, then tried his best to restrain himself from laughing his head off. If only Satoshi could see the look on his own face… But anyway, the blunette didn't look half-bad in that outfit.
Dai-chan?
Uh… huh?
Now you're staring.
I'm not.
You are.
This would be very, very interesting. Indeed.
Hey ya, I'm back! Miss me? "No, you twit." "That's mean Kraddie." "Call me that again, and I'll kill you along with that thief."
