CHAPTER V

Krad shifted slightly in his bed, snuggling his lovely hugging pilow. Uhm… Since when did Satoshi-sama's pilow become so comfy and warm? Not to mention smell nice… Note to yourself: Take over that brat's body more in his sleep... The blond happily tightened his arms around the soft object and prepared to return to his dreamy wonderland.

And he stopped.

Since freaking when did Satoshi-sama have a hugging pilow?

Golden eyes slowly opened. The fallen angel blinked several times before his eyes got used to the light of a new too sunny morning. He hated mornings. Especially when he was comfortable in bed hugging an unidentified-not-flying-object-which-felt-like-a-pilow-when-it-wasn't.

Yeah, talking about unidentified… urg… that object…

The hunter looked down only to find a mop of purple hair pressing against his chest. What the…? Krad rubbed his temples. Let's see… Last night he'd slept over at the Niwa's place… And Dark had been with him, and that explained the purple-colored hair… Right, so it was just the thief sleeping in his bed… WHAT!?

"WHAT!?"

The blond asked out loud, making the figure lying next to him moaned slightly in his sleep. Amethyst eyes sleepily opened, and the thief yawned before returning to his old position, a.k.a wrapping his arms around Krad and putting his head against the angel's chest.

"Morning Kraddie… You smell like vanilla…"

"What're you doing in my bed?"

"Sleeping, why?"

"That's not what I me… Whatever, get out!"

"Noooooo" The thief replied childishly, cuddling him even more.

"Get out, or I'll kick you out."

Dark lazily looked up at him and smirked. All of a sudden, the purpled-haired man sat up and pinned Krad down on the soft cushion.

"No…"

The thief inched his face closer to the angel's, his breath caressing pale skin. Cat-like eyes widened in shock when warm lips covered his rosy ones completely.

Krad froze. Dark Mousy was… he was freaking KISSING him!

How come?

Where was Satoshi-sama when he needed a genius?

Why did he feel… weak?

"You know what Kraddie?" He heard the thief murmuring between his kiss "I lov…"

…

The hunter's eyes shot open. It was… a dream?

Krad let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Stupid nightmare… A small smile formed on his lips, then he happily tightened his arms around the soft object he was holding and prepared to return to his dreamy wonderland.

And he stopped. Wait a minute.

This

Seemed

Familiar.

The hunter looked down. Only to find a mop of purple hair pressing against his chest.

He shrieked. HE, the demonic angel, the hunter of light, the soon-to-be ruler of the world, had. just. shrieked. like. a. freaking. school. girl. in. love. God knew why.

The figure lying next to him moaned slightly in his sleep. Amethyst eyes sleepily opened, and the thief yawned before returning to his old position, a.k.a wrapping his arms around Krad and putting his head against the angel's chest.

"Morning Kraddie… You smell like vanilla…"

Shit! The nightmare's coming true!

"What're you doing in my bed?"

"Sleeping, why?"

"That's not what I me… Whatever, get out!"

"Noooooo" The thief replied childishly, cuddling him even more.

God, do you really hate me?

Yes. Replied our dear God, grinning. Not my fault you're an atheist.

Krad panicked inside. He had to to something.

Like kicking the pervert out of his bed. Brilliant idea.

"OUCH!" Dark rubbed his head angrily as he sat up from the floor "What was that for?"

"I've got to go" Said the angel quickly, before he retreated back into Satoshi's mind. The blunette appreared, still half-asleep, raising an eyebrow.

"What did you do this time?"

"Hell if I know"

The thief mumbled. He and Krad needed to talk. Soon.

Okay, Dark Mousy was pissed.

Beyond pissed.

Krad had come out again in Emiko's demand, but the fallen angel still didn't talk to him. He didn't even look him in the eyes. The blond was apparently trying to avoid him at all costs.

And Dark Mousy was pissed.

What had he done? Things were normal between them till last night! After that… Well after that he wasn't able to remember. He just felt asleep.

The thief silently stood in the corner of the living room, drowning in his thought. It wasn't untill the chesnut-haired woman called for him that he snapped back to reality. Amethyst eyes instinctively glanced at Krad. The hunter looked surprised… Horrified to be exact.

"What?" He worriedly walked towards the two. "Something's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong." Emiko Niwa waved her hand. "We just need your help."

"My help being…"

"Being yourself, that's all!"

Dark raised an eyebrow in question. "How's that going to help?"

"Listen, you two are supposed to be a couple, correct?"

"And?"

"And you can't just walk around acting like enemies! So, you have to learn. Krad-chan has to at least, since you've already got a flirting talent."

Krad mentally bang his head against the floor. Of all time, why did he have to do this when he wanted to keep himself as far from the thief as possible?

Poor Kraddie. God hated him.

Sounds promising.

…

Krad?

…

What's wrong with you?

Still silence. Alright, he's freaking me out…

"Now Krad" The brunette raised her arms in demonstration "Gently wrap your right arm around Dark's left one..."

Krad roughly grabbed the thief's arm, making the purpled-haired man stumbled a bit. Emiko immediately shook her head. "No, not like that, dear… You're in love with him, not trying to kill him! Now do it once again… lean on him a little…"

The hunter frowned at the "in love" part, but didn't say anything. He just quietly followed the instruction and put his head lightly on Dark's shoulders. The thief smelt really nice…

Krad blushed. I'm going crazy aren't I?

"That's it… aw… you two look so cute together…" The brunette purred happily.

"Emiko!"

The first time the blond saw Dark blushing. That shameless thief. Blushing. So he didn't like them being paired up like that huh? Even for fun… A flash of hurt swept across the angel's face, but he instantly covered it up by his cold facade. Krad pushed himself off the purpled-haired man, but he did it a bit hard, which made both angels end up falling to the ground.

Him on top of Dark.

"I…" Krad paused. He was embarrassed beyond word. "I… I'm sorry. I'll see you guys later." The angel abruptly stood up and bolted to the door.

"What the… Damn!" It didn't took the thief half a second to register what'd just happened. He sat up like a spring and hurried after the blond. "Krad! Wait up!"

Emiko Niwa was left alone. A cunning smile shown on her face.

"Just as I expected. Father owned me 50 dollars for now…"

Yep. All was good.

Krad ran.

And ran.

And ran.

He was tired. Extremely tired. And he did not want to stop.

What should he do now? He. was. lusting. after. his. enemy. He couldn't just come back and tell the thief 'Hey Mousy, I'm lusting after you, so freaking keep away from me', could he? No, he couldn't. Dark would laugh his butt off, or look at him like he was the most disgusting creature in the world. Either way, Krad wasn't able to stand.

I'm even more pathetic than Satoshi-sama.

I heard that.

We'll talk later.

So that's why you were acting so strange…

Not now Satoshi-sama.

"Krad!" The blond turned his head. The thief was right behind him.

Shit! Why was Dark after him? Wasn't he the hunter here? He could not just spread his wings out and fly away in the day light, while no one was capable of beating the purple-haired man in a running contest! Where had his damn luck gone?

"Caught ya!"

The thief slammed Krad onto the wall, putting his hand on both sides of the blond, blocking his way out. Violet eyes stared into golden ones in fury.

"Explain."

"I have nothing to explain, thief."

"Why did you run away?"

"It's nothing of your concern."

"Well? You ran away from me."

"I did no…"

"DARK-SAN!"

Urg. Dark groaned. Not now…

Risa's eyes almost bugged out of their sockets. No way! Her Dark-san was with another girl! And he was cornering her! Not to mention the stupid-girl-who-didn't-know-she-was-blissed was acting as if she wasn't blissed! Well that didn't make any sense… But who cared!? Her Dark-san was with another girl! She could have sworn that Dark-san just had to make up a girlfriend story because he wanted to test her faithfulness. So where did that stupid-ugly-filthy girl come from?

"I can't believe it! She doesn't even wear a dress! What kind of girl is she?"

"Er… excuse me, I'm not wearing a dress either…" Riku tapped at her twin's shoulder, but she was completely ignored.

"DARK-SAN!"

The long-haired girl furiously stomped towards the two angels. She clung onto Dark's arm at once, glaring rockets at the confusing stupid-girl-who-didn't-know-she-was-blissed-and-was-acting-as-if-she-wasn't-blissed. "Who are you?"

"I…" Now Krad remembered. The Harada girl.

"Why are you after Dark-san?"

Me? Are you freaking blind? He was the one who was after me.

"Harada-san, look…" Dark tried to withdraw his arm, but to no avail. "Krad is…"

"So her name is Krad huh? Good to know."

If Krad was anyone else, his jaw would probably drop onto the ground and break into millions of pieces. Her? She thinks I am a girl? I'm not wearing women clothes! Has she no brain or something?

Or something. You look like a girl.

Brat.

Asshole.

Creep.

You're taking after that thief.

Whatever.

Dark snickered, earning a glare from the blond. Kraddie-kins looks like a girl… he just won't admit it.

"Who are you to Dark-san? His girlfriend?"

"I…"

"Nah, probably not. Dark-san will never choose an ugly and ungirlish one like you. He's an aesthetic person!"

If only he could use his energy ball on that girl…

Krad…

Yes, Satoshi-sama. I won't touch her.

I mean be nice. Don't blow up the whole street.

Wow. Never had he noticed that his host had a sadistic side. A cute one indeed.

"… And Dark-san had kissed me. He is meant for me!"

What?

Krad looked up at the purple-haired man in disbelief. "You kissed her?" He mouthed the words. "It was a mistake." The thief mouthed back.

"So you, whatever you are, back off!" The younger Harada pointed at him arrogantly. "Dark-san's mine!"

In your dream… "So kissing him means he's yours?"

"Exactly."

Krad smirked. That stupid of a girl was getting on his nerves. She had to suffer.

Dark yelped when the hunter suddenly grabbed his collar. His heart almost stopped as rosy lips pressed against his. Dark was stunned for a moment before he reacted. The thief closed his eyes and stuck his hand into golden strands, pulling Krad closer, deepening the kiss. Uhm… He tastes like honey…

The blond moaned softly, then pulled away, leaving behind an over-dazed thief. Hey, no fair, I want more…

"So, does this mean he's mine?"

Risa didn't respond. She fainted.

"Ehm… I think we should go now…" The short-haired girl sighed, dragging her unconcious twin away "Have fun."

Krad watched the two girls disappeared from his sight. "So what did I learn all the girlfriend things for?"

"To prepare for the future?"

"Shut up."

"But that's not the problem…" Dark's face turned serious. "Why did you run away?"

Because I realised I had feelings for you!? "Told you it was none of your business didn't I?" The blond waved his hand dismissively. "Now if you don't mind, Satoshi-sama and I are going home… Ouch!" He threw the thief, who was now holding his wrist tightly, a black look. "What's your problem?"

"Do you hate me that much?"

"Huh?" Now that, was unexpected.

"Well?"

"I…" I don't hate you moron. Or do you want a homicidal blond go harrassing you? What kind of creep would spill that into the other's face? "I…"

"I'll take that as an answer" Dark smiled sadly, releasing the hunter's wrist. He awkwardly shoved his hands in his pockets and looked Krad in the eyes "You're free now, I guess. And… thanks for your help anyway." Right… It's natural for the blond to hate him... Ouch. That hurts.

Krad stared in shock as the thief turned on his heels and walked away. Now he was mad. Scratch that, he was livid.

Something hit on the back of Dark's head all of a sudden. And he fell. Face first. The blond gathered more power in his hand and threw at the thief again. The purple-haired man blew away the attack.

"What was that for?"

"For being an idiot."

Beautiful white wings spread out widely in the air. Krad couldn't care less. He would just shoot up anyone who saw him. "Goodbye, thief."

It wasn't love that he felt. Probably just lust.

Dark? Are you asleep?

Yes.

Doesn't sound like you're sleeping.

Then why do you ask?

You're thinking 'bout Krad aren't you?

Whoever want to think of that bastard?

You do.

I hate him.

Because?

Because he fucking ran away from me, did not tell me why, threw his energy ball at me, and called me an idiot for no reason?

Which part?

What do you mean which part?

You know what I mean.

Fine. The running away without telling me why part.

Alright. You're an idiot.

Hey!

Did you ever think why it makes you mad? Or why Krad-san reacted like that? Did you?

No…

Listen. Would Krad ever willingly kiss you if he hated you?

No…

The thief physically slapped himself when realisation dawned upon him. Great. Just great. And he called himself an expert!

I'm an idiot.

That's right… Where're you going?

Creepy boy's house.

At this hour?

Why yes.

Satoshi woke up, looking at his clock. It showed 12:30. Being a heavy-sleeper as he was, it was odd that he willingly opened his eyes this early without the fallen angel shouting in his ears, forcing him to get up. No, Krad had been utterly quiet since morning, and he knew just precisely why.

"You gotta do something with your low-blood pressure. It's not healthy ya know?"

Oh. He remembered. A certain thief had waken him up. About half an hour ago.

"What're you doing here?"

"Call Krad out."

So that was what the bastard want huh? Waking me at this freaking hour…

Krad?

Hn?

You're sleeping? So the blond had fallen asleep somewhere between his moody state. How, Satoshi didn't know for sure.

Yeah…

Dark's here.

Tell 'im to go 'way.

You sure?

Yeah…

"He wants you to go away" The blunette calmly repeated the angel's words, watching Dark frowning in amusement. So maybe he did have a sadistic side… Couldn't blame him, he learned from the best.

"So I have no other choice…" The thief's frown broke into a cunning smile in a second "Excuse me, Creep…"

"Huh?"

"Hey Kraddie! If you don't come out, I'll kiss Creepy boy!" With that, he held up a hand and cupped the Hikari's cheek. "Three… Two… On…"

DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIWATARI-KUN YOU MORON!

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY SATOSHI-SAMA YOU MORON!"

Grinned. Natural things could come in handy.

Sorry Dai-chan.

And I thought I had to kill you…

"There you are, my lovely angel."

"What're you doing here?"

"There's something I have to steal!?"

"What?"

"You."

Krad was entirely frozen as the thief caught his mouth in a burning kiss. Only when Dark nibbled slightly at his lower lips did his brain function. He shoved the purpled-haired man away, panting.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND KISSING PE… uhmmm…"

The thief silenced him again with his lips pressing hard against the hunter's. Dark mentally smirked when the other's strugling died down, and Krad's body went limb in his arms. The purple-haired man pull his angel closer, trailing kisses down the blond's jaw and neck, causing him to moan softly.

"Sto… Stop it…"

"No."

"Stop playing with me!"

Dark paused in his ministration. He cupped the angel's cheek and drew their face close. "I'm not playing with you, blondie."

"But… but I tried to kill you all the time, remember?"

"So?"

"So!"

Dark stuck his hand in golden hair, kissing his hunter's temples. "Now who's the idiot between us?" He whispered, caressing pale skin "I love you, Krad."

"But…"

"Stop running away from me…" The thief cut him off. Krad was lost in amethyst pool. "Do you love me, angel?"

Do I… love him?

The blond sighed. He leaned forwards, planting a chaste kiss on the taller man's lips.

"Moron…"

"Whatever you say, love."

The dark angel felt like splitting his own face into two. Hell yeah! There were tons of things he would love to do with his Kraddie…

"You know what, thief…" The hunter wrapped his arms around his counterpart's neck. He was actually grinning. "We still have one more thing to do…"

Satoshi was confused when Krad let out an uncomprehendible sentence. It was in a language that even a genius like him didn't understand. But Dark did. The black angel seemed freakishly excited. "Sounds good…"

Before the blunette could blink, he was pushed out of his mind.

And he was locking lips with no other than Niwa Daisuke.

Oh. shit.

What? It's your first kiss and you go "oh shit"? How romantic…

Shut up!

They both pulled away quickly, turning several shades of red. Daisuke's hands flew up to cover his mouth. He… he'd just kissed Hiwatari-kun!

"I… I'm sorry Niwa…"

"You're sorry?"

The icy Commander was thrown back by the hurt expression shown in ruby eyes. "No! I mean… I wasn't sorry… No, that's not what I mean…"

Well, well, shy now aren't we?

Shut up!

Just have your way with him already…

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Oh yeah. He hated that smirk. And he wasn't able to do anything! No fair! Where was that dress? Urg…

"I… I think I should go…" The red head looked down at his feet. He just wanted to break down and cry.

Satoshi Hikari was so dead.

"No, Niwa! I love you!"

Silence.

Way to go, that Creep... Dark doubled over, laughing his butt off. And I thought he was the shy type…

"You… do?"

Yes. Satoshi Hikari was so dead.

"I love you too Hiwatari-kun." Great. Now he'd been rejected… Wait, what?

"You… do?"

The wing master nodded, his face heating up. Satoshi's feature softened. He smiled. "So you love me…" The blunette gently lifting his best friend's chin up, pressing his warm lips on Daisuke's. The shorter boy instantly closed his eyes, enjoying the kiss.

Then they were replaced by their very alter-egoes.

"Time for us now, huh?" Dark smirked as he softly kissed a cutely blushing angel. "You're mine…"

"And you call me possessive…"

"Yeah…"

That night, they had more fun.

So sorry for the late update! I've got exams… And I know, it's a weird ending… "You mean it sucks?" "Yea… I mean no, thief." "Admit it. You stink! Hey… where're you going?" "Making out with Krad." "Keep away from him you stupid author! HEY!"

Prince Raiden Ruler of thunder: A frog in my cookie? Oh well, I love frogs. They look kinda like me XD. Here's the final chapter…

Stormshadow13: I like Emiko too! It was funny seeing her brighten up whenever somebody praise her cooking skill. And yeah, I don't like pink, so I decided to put that color on Krad. Poor him (grin).

Your corrupted angel: Yay! You'd agreed to draw the picture! Remember to send me a copy, neh? My art skill's horrible, so I can't draw one myself… T.T

SatoshiHiwatari: Yeah, they're both ego-maniacs… Maybe that's what drew them together… But didn't they say opposites attract? Really confusing… By the way, Krad doesn't hate you… You're his tamer for that matter. XD

Mitsuru Aki: Did you mean fist fight? I only have mouth-fight in my story… But maybe I'll try writing another story with more fist fight .

M: Er… an anon!? I don't know your name, but thank you for reading this story. (shakes hands).

Daisukeismyboyfriend: Are you satisfied with the SatoDai part in this chapter? If you're not… then I'm terribly sorry… But don't sue me please… I'm totally broke! And Emiko is a psycho mom for real… That's why I love her XP

Crimsonangelxoxo: GREEN FOOD! I mean… heh heh, no, I didn't forget to dig into Kraddie's emotion. I just want to save that for the final chapter. And tell me, are you satisfied with it? I really want to know…

Jynx'sbox: Thanks (Grin). The final chapter's up. Hope you like it!
