Chapter 7,

Disclaimer: I'm hoping to get the Rights to DN Angel for Christmas. Come on Santa, I've been a good girl. (Angel Halo appears.)

AN: I'm sorry this chapter is about four weeks late but I had Thanksgiving break with my family, got a new computer tower, the last week of classes and now I've got finals. Ug. (Bangs head against desk. "finals so suck!") I've also been out of town and helping take care of my mom who has lung cancer. So chapters are probably going to be slow.

Also I'd like to congradulate DeadRat309, Luna Moon Girl and Flying Teapot-chan for correctly guessing what anime Kiri and Kumo came from. They are from Final Fantasy Unlimited.

Dark smiled sipping his drink, he Towa, Freedert, Elliot and Mio were all clustered around a table in the new club The Night Life. They were waiting for Argentine and Krad to arrive and Dark was curious to see what Argentine and his cousins had done to his friend.

Towa suddenly glanced up and waved enthusiastically. "Arge honey over here!" Then her eyes widened, "oh, my, God! Krad, he's, he's, oh, my, God!"

Dark frowned glancing up to see what Towa was babbling about. Then he to, caught sight of his blond friend and nearly chocked on his drink as he stared mouth dropping open. Oh, my, God indeed the blond was gorgeous.

Krad was dressed in white and gold while his long blond hair was swept up into a high pony tale. The pants were white and hugged his long legs, a white shirt clung to the blonds' chest and shoulders and flared out at the bottoms of the long sleeves. He was also wearing a white chocker with a simple gold cross, a number of gold bangle bracelets on each wrist and a gold scarf tied about his slender hips that hung down on the left about six inches while white knee high boots with gold lacings up the sides finished the effect. But it wasn't just Dark who was staring, Towa, Mio, Freedert, Elliot and not to mention most of the other patrons of the club were all sizing up the pretty blond. As Krad turned his head to say something probably rude to Argentine Dark caught a glimpse of gold in the blonds' ear.

As the two finally reached the table Mio leaped to her feet and glomped Krad squealing. "Like oh my God Krad! You look great!"

Krad squirmed in Mio's death grip looking acutely uncomftrible.

Argentine chuckled as he helped Krad extricate himself from Mio's embrace. "See, I told you that you looked good. Next time you should just believe me."

Krad gave his friend a baleful look as he sat down next to Dark. He folded his arms, "you'll pay for this. Somehow, someway, you'll suffer." Then under his breath, "I feel so stupid."

Dark grinned patting his friend on the shoulder. "You really do look great."

"Thanks," Krad smiled warmly at his friend.

Towa subtly poked Argentine in the ribs grinning and waggling her eyebrows.

Freedert smiled, "how about I go and get everyone drinks?" The others all nodded each asking for a different type.

Krad got to his feet, "I'll help you carry them back Freedert."

She smiled, "thanks I think I'll need the help." The two headed off for the bar.

As soon as the two were out of ear shot Argentine smirked and leaned over to Dark.

"Twenty bucks says you can't get Krad to dance."

"Oh you are so on," smirked Dark.

Towa sighed, "Dark you really shouldn't take his bet. You are just going to lose your money because you aren't going to get Krad to dance. I've known him for almost three years and not once have I ever seen him dance or show any interest in dancing."

Mio nodded, "The same goes for me."

Dark smirked even more, "we'll see about that. So is the bet still on?"

Towa shrugged, "Its your money," she laid a twenty dollar bill on the table Mio, Argentine and Elliot each also laid twenty on the table.

Dark then laid his twenty on the top of the pile grinning confidently.

Argentine raised an eyebrow, "you do realize that if you lose you'll owe each of us twenty right?"

Dark chuckled, "I know but I'm not planning on losing."

Then Freedert and Krad reappeared carrying everyone's drinks. They passed out the different beverages and took there seats.

Dark smiled over at his blond friend, "Thanks."

Krad shrugged "You're welcome."

Dark waited biding his time to ask Krad to dance. He waited until Freedert and Elliet were gazing at each other lovingly, Towa and Argentine were making out and Mio was hitting on some stranger. The purple-haired teen leaned over and wispered into the blond's ear. "How about a dance?"

Krad gave him a look, "I don't dance."

"Not even if I paid you?"

Krad's eyebrows raised, "Eh? Depends, how much?"

"Oh," commented Dark lightly, "Only about a hundred and twenty dollars."

Krad chocked on his drink staring at his friend, "Are you serious?"

"Yep," grinned dark. "I'll split the take with you fifty-fifty."

Krad's eyes narrowed, "let me guess, Argentine had something to do with this. Knowing him he probably bet that you couldn't get me to dance and the others joined him."

"Pretty much," shrugged Dark.

Krad got to his feet, "well on that notes. I'd love to dance."

Dark snickered and joined his friend heading for the dance floor. "You know," he commented, "the only sad thing is we aren't going to see their faces when they realize that they've lost."

Krad stole Argentine's trade mark smirk, "yeah, I know what you mean. It's going to be priceless, a real codac moment." They reached the dance floor and joined the mass of swaying people.

Argentine broke his kiss with Towa and glance casually at the dance floor. He smiled when he saw Dark dancing happily he was glad that Dark seemed to be having fun. Then his eyes widened and he did a double take as he caught sight of the color of Dark's partner's hair. Blond, long blond hair, long blond hair in a familiar pony tale. Holy shit Krad was dancing! He shook his head, "Well I'll be damned."

Towa blinked at the stunned expression on her boyfriend's face then she to glanced over at the dance floor and saw what had put that look on his face. She began to laugh, "Well guys, it looks like we are all out twenty bucks."

Freedert, Elliot and Mio all glanced over too. "Oh well," sighed Mio, "I'm actually glad to see that Krad is having fun. The money would have been nice but this is a lot better." The others all nodded in agreement.

"Now," said Argentine with a grin, "we just need to figure out how to get them in bed together."

Mio grinned evilly, "leave that to me. I'll come up with something and let you know."

The groups plotting got cut short however when the two being plotted about returned to the table.

Dark settled in his chair and leaned over scooping up the money handing half of it to Krad.

Argentine frowned, "hey, he knew about the bet?"

Krad snickered sticking the money into his pocket. "Yep, and thanks to you we both now are sixty dollars richer."

"Technically," commented Mio, "that could be considered cheating."

Krad and Dark just smirked secure in there smug satisfaction.

Dark leaned back drink in his left hand, this was probably the most fun he'd had at a club in a long time. However his pleasant mood was shattered as a girl sidled up to Krad, a girl he knew all to well. He scowled at Risa praying that a hole would open up under her and send her back to hell. Unfortunately for Dark God was apparently not listening at that moment.

"Hey gorgeous," purred Risa placing a hand on Krad's shoulder, "how about a dance?"

Krad smiled politely at Risa and removed her hand from his shoulder. "No thank you, I just got done dancing and I'd like to set here and talk to my friends."

"Awe," pouted Risa, "Just one little dance." She batted her eyes coyly at the blond. "I really could make it worth your while." She leaned a little closer showing a little cleavage in the process. "You and me, we could have some fun tonight."

"I just bet you could," muttered Dark sourly.

Risa shot him a nasty look and continued trying to get the blond to dance. "All I want is just one little dance, is that to much to ask?"

"I told you," said Krad still trying to be polite. "I don't want to dance. I want to talk to my friends."

"But," Risa pouted a little more. "I really think that you are cute and would love just one little dance. It would really make my night." She once more placed her hand on Krad's shoulder.

Dark scowled and reached over removing Risa's hand, "he already told you that he didn't want to dance. Can't you take a hint and get lost?"

Risa sniffed and tossed her hair over her shoulder and spoke to Krad. "I don't see why you want to hang out with a stalker like him anyway. He's no good and probably spinning you all kinds of lies about my friend Daisuke."

"Stalker?" Spluttered Dark.

Risa ignored him, "Daisuke told him it was over and got together with Satoshi and Dark just wouldn't leave them alone. He kept calling and showing up at Daisuke's apartment and at all the places that Daisuke would go. I'm afrade that he's set his evil sights on you now."

It was now Krad's turn to scowl, "that's not what I heard. I heard that your oh so good little friend was cheating on Dark and got cought." His eyes narrowed, ""from what I've seen Dark is nothing like what you are saying he is. I think that this Daisuke is the lyer. Now if you don't mind, please go away, we were having a very good time until you showed up."

Risa's eyes widened in indignation, "mark my words, you'll be sorry." Before she could say anything more Argentine rose to his feet glaring at Her.

"Get lost!" "

"Yeah, we like Dark just find!" snapped Towa.

"You'll, be, sorry," with that Risa turned and flounced off in a huff.

Mio frowned, "what a bitch."

Dark couldn't help himself He started to laugh, "you, have, know, idea."
