Krad emerged from the destroyed skylight and watched calmly as Dark's black figure quickly fluttered away. He grinned and decided he should give chase. If he didn't, his clever theif would suspect something. He delighted in the fact that Dark still knew nothing of his plans. Flying much slower than Dark, he allowed his other half to get far ahead of him. Eventually, he slowed to a stop. The blond was certain he had fooled his prey into a limited sense of security.
"Go, Dark. Find the Niwa boy," Krad said quietly. He laughed and landed gently in an alley. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he felt resistance from within. Stumbling a little, he clenched his teeth. 'What are you trying to do, Satoshi-sama?' he asked the blue-haired boy inside him, 'you know you cannot prevail...I am stronger'.
"I could ask you the same, Krad," Satoshi replied in his usual, cold manner. "What do you hope to accomplish by doing all this?" Although he tried to conceal it, his frustration leaked into his voice. How is Krad able to conceal his thoughts so well? Why is it that he can hear all of mine!?
Krad laughed again, "you will need to wait and see...why spoil the entertainment?"

Dark looked back periodically to check on his progress. To his delight, Krad seemed to have trouble keeping up. At last, he could no longer see his pursuer and was certain he had lost him. He landed to rest on the rooftop of an old church. He thought about the situation and his options. "To-to!" he exclaimed aloud. If anyone could find Daisuke, she could. The theif spread his wings once again and leapt off the roof. To those below, his form appeared to be a black bird as he glided in the direction of the Niwa residence.
