A/N2: I regret to inform you, that most of the Latin I'm using on this, is incorrect. It's HARD to find correct Latin translators online that follow the correct grammar! …Sorry. I'm taking Latin and my insane (he's an f-ing BASTARD!) Latin teacher goes on and on about this shit! So, it's kind of stuck in my memory. I'm just going to use the incorrect stuff cause it gets the message across kay? Kay. Sorry everyone!
Last Time
"What was the Niwa's name sir?" Daisuke asked.
"Hmm…oh yes…I believe his name was-" Daisuke cut Kanaye off.
"HIS?!"
Chapter Three
"Yes, it was a he…name of…Tomo, I believe…yes, that was it." Daisuke stared at Kanaye.
"So…Kinumitsu built this?" Daisuke asked nervously holding up the box. Kanaye nodded.
"Suki desu ka?" Kanaye asked.
"Kirei desu…" Daisuke stated. Kanaye took the box from his grasp.
"I'll sell it to you half-price!" he said jovially. Daisuke nodded his head in thanks and purchased the box.
Daisuke sat on his bed inspecting the box. He had about two hours before he needed to be at Satoshi's. Daisuke turned the box over. The box was made of red oak wood with golden patterns lacing across it. It also had a delicately painted violin on the top. Daisuke's inspection led to him finding a clasp with a keyhole on it, a silver knob, and a key taped to the bottom. Daisuke used the key to unlock the clasp and pulled the top up. Its hinges creaked angrily. Daisuke looked into it and saw a tiny compartment in which an opened envelope was snuggly fit.
He pulled the envelope out and opened it. He found a slightly crumpled letter. It read:
My Dear Tomo,
If you are reading this, then I have passed away. Hopefully, my life passing will save yours. I want you to know that I love you and always have. This music box is my final gift to you. It saddens me that I cannot give you a last goodbye, but I have to be off immediately for this to be a success. Please know that you mean the world to me, and I do this only for you.
Love,
Kinumitsu
Daisuke put the letter down and looked at the box.
))What happened to Kinumitsu? And Tomo?(( Dark shrugged.
))Why don't you call the crazy guy who sold you the box and ask.(( Daisuke pulled out the phone book and picked up the phone. He found the shop quickly and dialed the number.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
"Moshi moshi! This is Antiques: New and Old! Curator and salesperson Kanaye Sonsinku speaking!"
"Moshi moshi, Kanaye-kun. This is Niwa-kun. I have a question about that box you sold me."
"Ah, yes. Niwa-kun. Well…what is it that you need to know?" he asked.
"Um. Do you, by any chance, know what happened to Kinumitsu and Tomo?" Daisuke asked nervously. He heard mumbling on the other end of the line.
"Hmm…what happened? Well, if I recall correctly…Kinumitsu tried to kill him! People were ridiculing and attacking Tomo because of their relationship and he thought that killing himself would solve that. He jumped off a bridge, into a river. Tomo found out and killed himself as well. It's very depressing isn't it?" explained Kanaye. (1)
"Yes, it is. Thank you Kanaye-kun."
"Anytime Niwa-kun, anytime…. Sayonara!" The line went dead.
))Well, that certainly explains quite a bit. How depressing…(( Dark nodded.
))You should get ready to go over to Creepy Boy's house now.(( Daisuke nodded and went to get ready.
Daisuke sat across from Satoshi—typing away on his laptop—on the couch in Satoshi's living room. He clutched, in his jacket pocket, the small music box, wrapped in ice blue paper. Satoshi stopped typing and used the mouse to save and close the window. He then shut off his laptop. "Sorry," he said, "that work took longer than I thought." Daisuke nodded.
"It's okay. I brought you a present." Satoshi looked at him.
"You didn't have to," he said softly. Daisuke shrugged.
"I wanted to," he said. He pulled out the package and handed it to Satoshi. Satoshi took the package and stared at it, as if savoring the moment, sucking every detail into his memory. Finally, he unwrapped it with care, making sure to not rip the paper. When it was completely unwrapped, he stared down at the music box.
He picked up the box and opened it. Nothing happened. His brow furrowed in puzzlement. "It's not playing," he said. Daisuke took the box from him and twisted the knob on the bottom. He quickly closed it before a note could emit from it. He then handed it back to Satoshi.
Satoshi took it and pulled open the clasp. Beautiful music flowed from the box and filled the room, swelling all around them. Daisuke and Satoshi both felt enchanted by the music. It was a lovely melody with fantastic harmony.
Satoshi looked down at the box and gave a slight smile. He then shut it and started to fold up the wrapping paper.
))Hmm…you really are like Creepy Boy's boyfriend Daisuke!(( Daisuke blushed wildly.
))Dark! Shut up, shut up, shut UP!((
Satoshi stood suddenly and looked towards the ground, away from Daisuke. "Would you like some tea, Niwa-kun?" he asked through gritted teeth.
"Uh…sure." Daisuke didn't fail to notice the uncharacteristic look of loathing set upon the boy's face.
))Must be Krad, being…well, Krad…((
))Ooh! Do you think he'll come out?(( Daisuke sighed and shook his head.
))I highly doubt it Dark.(( Dark huffed.
))Fine then! Be all negative!(( Daisuke shook his head. Satoshi reentered the room, holding two steaming mugs. Daisuke ignored Dark's slightly…perverted comments and plastered a large smile on his face.
As they drank their tea, they made idle conversation.
Daisuke lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling as he contemplated the day's events.
))Dark? We have something to steal tonight, right?(( Dark nodded. Daisuke sighed. He stood and dressed in Dark's attire for that evening.
))Oh cheer up! Who knows? Maybe Creepy boy will show up along with Kraddykins!(( Daisuke sighed and shook his head.
))No. Neither of us will want to come out. You'll be too busy trying to making out with Krad…((
))True…(( Daisuke pretended to gag as he fastened one of the many buckles on Dark's outfit.
A shadowy figure crouched behind a large stone gargoyle. He watched as the tiny forms of policemen scrambled around below him. He chuckled quietly. "They just make this so easy."
Purple hair swished around as a cool breeze swept over the cocky features of the Phantom Thief. Dark stood and regarded his surroundings. There was a flash of white as a blonde angel swooped down and pinned his other half to the roof.
"Kraddykins! How lovely to see you!" Dark exclaimed with a cheeky grin, wrists still pinned down by his head.
Krad hissed quietly. "Stop calling me that! I'm not your boyfriend!" spat Krad, baring his abnormally sharp teeth.
Dark just laughed. He used his legs to pull Krad back and flip them around. Pinning the blonde to the gargoyle. "Not yet, your not," he said smugly. He leaned forward and brushed his lips against Krad's. Krad struggled against the hands pinning him to the stone beast. Dark laughed again and stood, releasing Krad. Krad stood and swiped his sleeve across his mouth. His face bore an utterly repulsed look.
"Have you no shame?" asked the angel angrily.
Dark let out a short bark of a laugh. "This coming from someone who tries to strangle my Tamer and me on a daily basis? Ha!"
Krad put a finger to his lips. "Yes…. Well, that reminds me," he began, a sinister look on his face. "I haven't tried to kill you in much too long!"
Krad dove at Dark, knocking them both through the glass skylight that led into the museum. Glass shattered and fell around them, sparkling in the moonlight. As though in slow motion, they fell. Dark felt glass rip across his face and bare arms, while Krad felt the same for his face.
Krad swooped up through the torrent of glass, while Dark fell, a grin plastered on his face. Krad was torn. He could save Dark, and lose all dignity and self-respect. Or he could let Dark die, achieving his goal.
Before he could decide, Dark made impact with the floor, the grin disappearing as the effects of falling nearly one hundred feet caught up with him.
Black dotted his vision and he felt his consciousness slipping. Krad flew down to his side. "Damn it, Dark! You weren't supposed to actually hurt yourself! You never…before…" Krad trailed off. Dark pulled out a feather.
"Curatio obscurum," Dark whispered. A glowing wave of sparkling energy erupted from the feather and cascaded down upon Dark. There were several nasty cracking noises, followed by several snaps and a heart-wrenching scream that echoed off the walls of the museum exhibit.
When the dark faded, Dark lay on the tiles, completely unharmed. He smiled weakly at Krad, eyes half-lidded. Krad growled and stood. He pulled back his foot, and struck it out, kicking Dark in the side. Dark jerked and coughed.
He pushed himself to his feet, sporting a cocky grin. "Oh come now! I'm not that pathetic, am I?"
Krad rolled his eyes and whipped out a feather, Dark followed suit. They circled each other slowly, eyes locked on the other's.
They yelled out their spells simultaneously.
"— Atrum offa! —"
"— Lux lucis telum! —"
Black orbs formed around Dark's hands. Bright bolts appeared in Krad's.
They glared at each other, remaining perfectly still, waiting on tenterhooks for the first attack. Finally, they both silently struck out at the same time. This resulted in the attacks hitting at the same time, sending them both sprawling backwards in opposite directions.
Dark had been thrown into several statues and pottery. He now lay in the midst of the rubble; dust was wafting through the air from the broken relics.
Krad had been sent careening into the wall, hitting a large painting on his impact. Krad groaned, clutching his head. In an instant, Dark was in front of him. "Aw. Kraddykins! It's no fun when you get hurt!" Dark pouted.
He leaned down and captured the fallen angel's lips in a kiss, taking advantage of Krad's confusion. Dark pulled back and helped Krad up before running over to the golden goblet he was stealing. He grabbed it, stuffed it in his knapsack, and gave a flourishing bow. He winked. "See you soon Kraddykins!"
Dark jumped up, flipped backwards into the air off of a windowsill, and grabbed onto a glass chandelier. Gripping the iron with one hand, he pulled out a feather with the other. He dropped the feather, letting it slowly drift down to meet Krad. He flipped up and yelled, "WIZ!" A black creature swooped down through the shattered skylight, gripping onto Dark's back. Krad swore and picked up the feather.
As Dark left he smirked and held the feather at eye level. When Dark was just a speck in the distance, Krad brought the feather to his lip and kissed it gently. "Good night, my angel."
