Review Reply Center:
L is for Loser: Thanks! As you can see, people reviewed, so I'm continuing.
Prince Raiden Ruler of Thunder: Do I still get a cookie for updating today?
Jjwitdaheydiddydiddy: Thank you. It gets better then, if you like Krad in girl clothes.
Crizzy-chan: Thank you, but I don't think it's really that good. I think it's your average fanfic.
Stormshadow13: Thank you. Also, are you sure they just THINK Krad is a girl? (laughs evilly)
"Your highness, you have to have an attendant with you when you take a bath." The woman reasoned.
"Why? I'm a grown man, perfectly capable of taking care of myself." Krad snapped.
"Ah, yes, but what if something bad happened to you while you're in the bathroom ALONE?" The woman reasoned.
"Look, Sakura, I'll be fine." Krad said, peeved.
Dark passed by at this moment. "Hey, what's going on?"
Well… It was Krad's habit to take a bath every night before going to sleep, as it was Satoshi's. The habit had rubbed off on him. Now, his ever-loyal attendant Sakura refuses to let him bath alone.
Dark, upon hearing the case, passed his judgment. "Well, Sakura-chan, it's wrong for you to go in with Krad, because you're a girl and he's a guy." Dark began.
"See?" Krad was about to head inside the bathroom when Dark continued.
"Hang on, Sakura has a point. So…Since I am your husband and a guy as well, I'll be there with you in the bath." Dark said.
Krad glared at Dark. "NO!"
"Aw, Kraddie, please?" Dark pouted and gave Krad puppy-dog eyes.
"No, I want to bathe alone!" Krad yelled, resembling a child throwing a tantrum.
"Sheesh, why is it so damn important that you be alone? You don't want to be with a guy, but you don't want to be with a girl either." Dark complained.
"It's called PRIVACY, Dark." Krad growled.
"Your pick, Sakura or me." Dark put it bluntly.
Krad was fuming, and Dark was sure that he would be chosen. To his shock, Krad grabbed Sakura's arm and went inside the bathroom. The door slammed loudly, and Dark stood there, stunned. He began banging on the door.
"KRAD!! What the hell are you doing alone in a bathroom, with a pretty girl?" Dark yelled. He began to pace when Krad didn't reply. He bit his thumbnail.
Maybe he should have allowed Krad to go in by himself. After all, Krad was a guy, no matter how feminine he looked. A girl and a boy alone in the bathroom… He shook his head. No…Krad wasn't perverted, was he? Well, Krad was pretty, and no woman in her right mind would refuse him. He shouted, frustration evident in his face.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"

Meanwhile, Daisuke was washing his face in Hiwatari's bathroom. He had stayed there until Satoshi could find his portrait, the one he assumed caused Dark and Krad to end up in that parallel universe. As he passed the bathtub, full of water, he thought he glimpsed Dark pacing. He ran to the water.
"Dark?" He whispered.
Dark screamed in frustration and ran his hand through his hair. Daisuke tried again, a little louder this time.
"Dark?" Daisuke called.
Dark looked around. "Daisuke?"
Daisuke was beyond happy. "DARK!! I think Hiwatari-kun knows why you guys are stuck in there."
"Yeah, yeah, get us out as soon as possible. What is taking that guy so long?" Dark muttered, looking down, as if he were talking to the floor. Daisuke frowned. Was Dark biting his nail? That never happened before.
"Dark, what's going on?" Daisuke was confused.
"Oh, nothing. Except they think I'm king and that Krad's queen. Well, I'm not complaining, but Krad is taking an awful long time in the bathroom."
"Well, maybe he's taking a bath."
"Yeah, did I mention there's a female attendant in there with him?" Dark replied softly.
"W-WH-WHAT?!" Somebody else spluttered.
Dark looked around. "Dai, who was that?"
"Ah, Hiwatari-kun!"
"Krad is in a bathroom with a FEMALE attendant?" Satoshi all but fainted.
"So you guys finally moved in together? Well, seems I was right." Dark concluded.
Daisuke looked at Satoshi, and then back at the water. But Dark was gone. "Dark?" Daisuke touched the water, again and again. "Dark?!"
"You've lost the connection." Satoshi said. "I can't believe… Ugh, never mind. Look at this. I painted it about an hour before our conversation on the phone a while ago."
Daisuke examined the painting. There was Krad and Dark, as ruling monarchs.
"I think…I think they're stuck in the world of this painting." Satoshi said, sighing.
"Why don't you just paint it over, then?"
"Because we might wipe Dark and Krad from existence." Satoshi answered.
"Oh…Darn."
-I don't own DN Angel-
Dark once more, pounded on the door. "KRAAAAAAD!! You are married to me here, you hear me? MARRIED!! No cheating allowed!!" Dark yelled.
Finally, after thirty more minutes, Krad came out with Sakura. Thankfully, Sakura didn't look the least bit ruffled. But they had more than enough time to clean up…Dark's eyes narrowed.
"What the hell were you yelling for? I'm no pervert." Krad was scowling. He headed over to their room.
"You…Nothing happened, right?" Dark was twitching as he asked Sakura.
"Saa…Who knows?" Sakura replied mischievously. "Your highness, wait for me!" Sakura ran after Krad. Dark twitched even more.
"Subjects…aren't allowed to lie to their rulers, are they?" He sighed and followed the pair, only to find that he was locked out. "DAMMIT! You guys better not be doing something in there!" Dark screamed.
Wait a minute, he was the Phantom Thief. What was he doing, out here? All he needed to do was wait for Sakura to come out and for Krad to fall asleep…Then he could pick the lock and get inside. Sure enough, after an hour or so, Sakura left. He immediately zoomed in, picked the lock and got inside. He saw Krad sleeping on the bed. So pretty…
Grinning, Dark climbed into bed with Krad. Soon, he was asleep.
The next morning, he woke up, his arm draped across a woman. He pulled her closer, snuggling to her back. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. Wait a minute…He slept beside Krad last night! So…His eyes narrowed, but gold covered his vision. He pushed away Krad's golden hair. Hold on, how did he know this was a woman? Because it didn't have a flat chest, he reasoned with himself. Men had flat chests. He sat up and looked at Krad. Hmm…Krad was wearing loose clothes. He always did. His face turned into a funny expression when realization dawned on him. Krad is a girl.
He shook his head wildly. But he – she – managed to cover it up so well…Not one slip up. Dark's eyes were still wide. He should really get used to the fact that Krad was a girl. He fell back on the bed and pulled the hunter closer to him. It still freaked him out that Krad would pretend to be a guy, but…Who cared? She was beautiful, she was his wife. Still...300 damned years...He should have noticed something. He was just about to doze off again when a piercing shriek filled the air.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
Dark winced. How in the world did Krad manage to have a light, silky, tenor voice anyway? She sounded like an alto right now… Also, he assumed that he had less than five minutes to live. Krad fumbled for something on the bedside stand and pushed Dark off the bed. Dark sat up, rubbing his head.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" She yelled. "Get out!!"
See? She sounded like a boy.
Dark yawned and crawled back into the bed. "It doesn't matter, right Krad? Now that I know your little secret."
"Secret? What secret?" She kept calm, her emotionless face back on.
"You're a girl. I woke up with an arm draped around you." Dark explained, trying to doze off again.
"Ohayo, Rin-sama." Sakura entered, then blinked. She glowered at Dark. "What are you doing in Rin-sama's room?"
"I slept here last night. I snuck in when you left." Dark sat up, convinced that he wouldn't be able to sleep at this rate.
"Rin-sama…" Sakura looked at Krad sadly.
Krad ran a hand through her hair. "I suppose he would have found out eventually." She sighed. She passed a hand through her neck, and her voice sounded female once more.
"I see. Magic explains your voice. But that doesn't explain why you pretend to be a boy." Dark replied, frowning.
"I don't need to explain anything to you." Krad replied coldly, sitting up. "Sakura-san, could you bring that coffee over here?"
"Hai, Rin-sama."
"That was why you wanted to be alone in the bathroom." Dark mused. "Did the Hikaris know?"
"Of course not." Krad snapped. "Only the one who made us…Only he knew." She added softly, sipping her coffee.
"Yet I never knew. So you really are my exact opposite."
Krad ignored Dark.
"So, will things be different now?" Dark asked, getting up to change.
"Don't bet on it, Dark Mousy." She hissed. She pulled out a feather and Dark ran out of the room hurriedly. "DON'T YOU DARE COME BACK INSIDE!!"
Dark headed over to another room, hiding. Krad…Krad's a girl. A girl almost beat me hundreds of times. A girl…Hmm…I'm king. Which means I could order even the queen around. Which means I could put Krad in a dress…and she couldn't do a thing about it. Dark smirked mischievously. Maybe this situation wasn't THAT bad.
AN: I require two more reviews to continue.
