Thanks for staying with me in my slight (Anit-slight! So sorry about that!) block and long (Very super gimungous horribly long) gap time. (Big smile) CHIPPY LOVES YOU!
Anyway so here is the chapter on day...nine! Sunday.

Satoshi woke up at eight the next morning, smiling, and was about to turn to Dai and say good morning. He realized that Dai wasnt in his arms and instead was a paper.
With a bit of fear Satoshi sat up and read the note.
::Satoshi,
Mio and Mara left late last night. They left to go sleep in Takeshi and Sekimoto's room because we were too loud with truth or dare. Dont worry about them. They'll be helping Takeshi and Sekimoto or the spies...
I had to do this. Im sorry for up and leaving like this but I have to do this on my own, whether you deem it necessary or not. Please dont be mad but I have to go do this. You may be asking what I keep talking about but I cant tell you just yet becuase I know if I do tell you, you'll come get me.
Im sorry for this. Please trust me. How about this: If im not back by sun up tomorrow you can come find me when it comes. Deal? Just agree Satoshi and dont do anything stupid. Trust is a key thing in relationships...but I dont even know what we are. Sorry. My insecurities got away from me a second. Ill be back tomorrow.
::Daisuke
Satoshi was glaring at the note. How could Dai do that?
Dai was the key to winning against Kei and he just up and left by himself. Satoshi was mad to say the least.
With a flurry of blankets Satoshi was standing and dressing. He huffed out to the living room and froze.
The room was a mess, the furniture thrown aside and flipped over, the tables were thrown aside, everything was messed up. It looked like eight hurricanes and a large angry baby passed through.
"What the hell?" Satoshi whispered as he heard a grunt come from a corner below a bar stool.
The stool was thrown off and up stood a very ruffled looking Krad. He looked mad and yet like he just had a run-in with a bad hairdresser.
"What happened here?" Satoshi asked as he walked over to Krad.
"Niwa. We saw him get up this morning, actually I saw him get up right after you fell asleep. He faked sleep and Dark and I confronted him. I believe he planned this out. When we got to him in here the door to where you were had already had a silencing spell on it and he was standing in a defensive posture."
"What happened?"
"When we told him to go back to bed he retorted with some crap like he had something to finish. We tried to make him calm down then I got mad and began attacking, thinking I could over power him. Before I could stop he had gone into his silver form and was ready for me. Even me and Dark against him like that was no match."
"Wheres Dark now?"
With that a grunt came from the pile of couches in the far side of the room. That was when Satoshi and Krad saw two waving feet with the grunts.
"Looks like Dark is stuck." Krad said with a chuckle.
"Gwa amf urmg wutuff!" Dark called back. ('I am NOT stuck' was what Dark TRIED to say)
Ten minutes later Krad and Satoshi had Dark out of the pile. Dark looked worse than Krad, his hair mussed like too much rolling in bed and had bruises across his body.
"Im guessing he got away?" Satoshi asked.
"I was first down." Dark said. "I was the most of a threat to him because he knew I would try my hardest to keep him here. He threw me into a wall and everything else is a blank. He knocked me out!"
Krad nodded. "Niwa had something important to do or he wouldnt have done this." Krad seemed to be acting normal. "He threw me against that wall after he buried Dark. I dont know how I held onto consciousness but I did and he threw me against the wall another couple times before I blacked out. Somehow I heared him leave."
Satoshi nodded. "Wait. When I came back yesterday he was writing in a notebook." He rushed into the bedroom and dug through Dai's bag until he found the notebook.
He flipped it open when he got to the living room and his eyes widened. "He knew I'd think of this."
"What? How?"
Satoshi turned the notebook around. A note was there and it said:
::Hey guys,
Looks like I was right about thinking you would think of my notebook in trying to find me. Let me guess, my plan worked but with a few glitches.
My plan was to sneak out early in the morning without any of you hearing. Im guessing I got Satoshi to fall asleep but you, Krad and Dark, caught me? Sorry Satoshi but I know if you were awake you wouldnt let me do this...and Krad, Dark sorry for whatever I had to do.
I need to do this and by what I think you two did to stop me I probably hurt you. Once again, sorry but like I said its a one man job. What I have written in here will be of no use to you because you have no clue what I was thinking. Here is a hint though, Krad and Dark have no clue about it because they werent around when I found out about it.
While Im gone Satoshi is in charge, that was the point to the sub-leader guy conversation Satoshi. If you didnt agree it would have been Dark. I need you to keep up the spy network and get Takeshi and Sekimoto to buy supplies (Page seven). Dark I need you to help the spies, if you dont mind. They are birds and arent the smartest. You can meet the bird people mom always talked about. They need help spying on the camp they found of Kei's. What you could do, if accepting it, is in the note I gave you. Krad, you're the crazy one, in a good way[Krad laughed at that. 'Riiiiiight.' he also added. so I need you to go get a few provisions from a few stores many of us wouldnt want to enter. (The note you recieved)
Well guys I know you are probably really mad at me for all of this but when I get back Ill explain everything to you ["You had better" Dark. Please dont be mad Satoshi. I know you think Im mental for doing this alone since I am the key to Kei's defeat supposedly. This is important too. Promise.
Until another time...Oh yeah. If any of you noticed theres an odd sheet of paper on the counter with each of your names on it. That is so I can contact you. You can write me all you want but i might not reply. Whatever you write will disappear off your sheet after five minutes. Until then,
::Daisuke.
Satoshi stood stunned at how complete Dai's plan had been. He had been planning it for a good day before doing anything.
Krad was amazed at how secretive the Niwa could be. He knew Dai would be a good fighter with how improvisational Dai was.
Dark was amused at how much Dai had actually held back from him, he never knew the boy was able to keep a secret so well. He knew Dai was right in the note and knew he was needed as help for the spies.
"So..." Dark said.
"He shouldnt have gone alone. Any idea where he could be?" Satoshi snapped, already concentrating on getting his wings.
Krad growled. "Didnt you read the note?" He snapped back. "You wont be able to find him. You cant catch up to him. He has more powerful wings than any of us and knows how to hide now. You wont find him until he tells you where he is."
"I dont care. Hes a key in this and being alone he's an easier target. Whether I find him or not it will ease my mind. I am..."
Dark interrupted. "Look." He pointed to a slip of paper on the counter with Satoshi's name on it.
Satoshi went to the paper and read what was appearing.
::Satoshi I didnt know you would be so protective and untrusting to follow me already. Maybe we werent made for each other if you cant trust me. I guess I cant fall for anyone that is right for me.
A few darker spots appeared on the paper and Satoshi realized Dai was crying. He felt horrible about it.
Krad handed him a pen. With quick fleeting strokes Satoshi replied.
::Dai, I trust you I just dont like you being alone. Please dont do this. Just come back. Is it that important to risk your life?
It took a minute for Dai's response to come. Satoshi watched anxiously for the reply until it finally came.
::Yes. Please just wait for me Satoshi. Ill be back tomorrow. Dont I mean it DONT try to find me unless I dont get back then. If you really do like me you'll believe in me and let me do this.
Writing began to appear on Darks sheet of paper. He read it quickly.
::Dark before you go help the spies, I knew you'd agree, please keep Satoshi there. He doesnt need to find me. Im fine. Its nearing nine-thirty now so I'd better go. Morning traffic is hard to dodge so I'd better go back to normal. Please trust me.
Dark nodded to the slip of paper, and turned to Satoshi. "Dai's right. You need to believe in him."
Satoshi sighed and nodded. He was so scared to let Dai go he was pushing him away.
"Right. We'd better do what Dai asked us since he is the leader."
"No." Krad said, making the others heads snap his way. "We should do what he said because its good ideas."
Dark smiled. "Kraddy's goin soft."
"Im agreeing with the Niwa."
"Your going soft."
"Whatever."
"Not whatever. Just admit your going soft."
"Im not going soft."
"You are."
"Not."
"Too."
"Not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
During their whole fight Satoshi was standing in the balcony doorway not really looking at anything, but thinking about Dai. He was worrying about the redhead already.
After two steps Satoshi was back at the counter and was scribbling across it. He wanted to convey eveything he was feeling to Dai.
::Dai, be careful. I dont want another person I care for pass to the next life. I trust you but Im terrified that you'll get hurt and not return. Please promise me that you'll come back by sun up tomorrow.
Satoshi stood waiting for Dai's response as Dark and Krad finally stopped arguing and started to talk about what they needed to do. All three knew that they needed to do this to keep the resistance going.
Five minutes passed and Satoshi began to lose hope that Dai would reply. When he was about to look away and start his job, Satoshi saw scribbles appearing quickly.
::Im a thief, I cant be taken down that easily. I swear to you Satoshi that I wont die, and neither will you. We'll make it through this together, promise. I'll try to get back as early as I can but the way this is looking, I wont be back until at least noon tomorrow. Im sorry but the going is hard when you dont want to be seen. I want you to go in our room and on your desk is a sheet of paper. Turn it over. I have to go, the town is getting busier and I look kind of odd writing randomly while walking. Ill contact the three of you soon. Tell Dark and Krad to keep the papers and a pencil with them.
3Dai ::
Satoshi smiled at the little heart beside Dai's name and knew it was a reassurance to him to keep believing. He rolled the parchment up and stuck it in his pocket before walking into the bedroom.
Like Dai said, there was a sheet of paper on his desk and without any thought he flipped it over. The picture was sketched beautifully and amazingly detailed, even if just in the dull gray of pencil, and portrayed him and Dai in a passionate embrace, lips locked and bodies melding together like soul mates could only do.
A tiny tear fell down Satoshi's cheek as the beauty and implication of the picture that Dai had obviously spent time from somewhere on. He realized that Dai, like himself, felt he couldnt go on while the other faltered, felt right with the other with them.
"Oy (yes oy not oi...Im odd like that...OOO Iem od liek thhat. LOL) Creepy!" Dark called from the doorway. "What cha lookin at?"
"Something Dai left me." Satoshi said with a small smile as he turned to Dark. "Something to reassure me."
"Like...?"
"I dont think you want to see what your tamer thinks of me."
"I had to live with him having PG wet dreams." Satoshi raised an eyebrow. "Instead of the kinky sex dreams everyone has at your age, Dai was too innocent and had dreams of just getting you to smile, getting you to be normal."
"So?"
"Let me see it. I had to go through Dai wanting Risa and Riku. Now, thankfully, I dont have to have him dream wet dreams about you, now that you two are...Are you?"
"Are we what? Having sex?" Dark flinched slightly at the thought of his innocent tamer, Dai, having sex. "No."
"Good. Now let me see it."
Satoshi shrugged and handed the picture over. Dark took a second to look at the picture, a calm expression on his face until the contents of the picture sunk in...4...3...5...2...8...1...(Yes I added odd random numbers in there...)
"WHOA! Obviously Dai's not as innocent as he made me believe!"
Krad came running in. "Whats going on?"
"Look at this! Dai is SO not innocent."
Krad looked at the picture and gasped. "WOW! Niwa draws exceptionably well!"
Dark and Satoshi rolled their eyes. "No, smart one, look what its about." Dark explained.
"Niwa has R rated pictures! My respect for him has definitely gone up." Krad laughed then calmed quickly. "Niwa asked me to go to some really random stores. Any clue what this stuff does?"
Krad handed Satoshi and Dark the list Dai had left him. They stared at it a moment before Satoshi spoke.
"If some of these mix..."
"No..." Dark interrupted.
"Right, if any of these mix, it creates explosives..."
"Smoke screens..."
"Light bombs..." (as in when it explodes it creates a flash of light as bright as the sun.
"Everything needed for full scale battles."
"Dai is getting prepared to face the enemy." Satoshi murmured.
"Well I'll be heading out to get his supplies. Better sooner than later."
"Right. Alright, Krad, Good luck." Satoshi said with a stern visage.
"I should head out and help the flying goldfish."
"Flying goldfish?" Satoshi and Krad questioned.
"Alright alright. The bird people."
"Why a goldfish?" Krad was confused.
"Because goldfish seem pathetic enough until they attack! ATTACK OF GOLDFISH!!!" (Overlord Harley and I had that as an inside joke...the goldfish attacking people and killing them)
"He's lost it." Came the muttered response from the other two.
"Well I'd better go help them. Send one of those stupid birds to get me if anything happens with Dai."
Satoshi nodded and clasped Darks arm in comradery. "Good luck."
"You two creepy."
"Bastard."
"No thats you."
"Dumb ass."
"Nope."
Satoshi rolled his eyes. "Go already."
The two elder teens soon left after getting their papers from Dai, one with wings spread out, the other walking down all the floors. Satoshi stood there and thought about everything that had happened in such a short time, Dai and he sending their other halves off, falling even more for each other, getting their other halves back, Seriko hitting on Dai, Dai being hurt so many times, the bird people, Dai's parents being taken...it went on and on.
"Dai be careful." Satoshi whispered into the air as he went to tell Takeshi and Sekimoto what Dai had asked of them.
Mio and Mara had left not long after Satoshi arrived to scout the surounding area for impending battle areas, retreat stations, surprise attack positions, everything needed for a hopeful victory.
When Satoshi returned to his and Dai's rooms, it was nearing noon and he called room service for food as he wrote down defensive positions and ideas. He had been hoping for hours for Dai to say something to him but so far he had recieved nothing.
When one rolled around, the paper in Satoshi's pocket grew warm and he whipped it out, afraid of why it was growing warm. After he unfurled it, the heat disappeared and was replaced by words.
::Hey Satoshi,
All well there? I hope so. I havent heard any explosions from that way. : ) Dark or Krad giving you shit? Sorry I didnt reply for a while but this stupid hobo kept following me until I gave him money. Right after I gave him ten bucks he ran to a bar to buy a beer. Thats the last time I feed hobo's. He smelled bad too. EW! Hobo is stanky!
Come on smile. You know you thought it was funny. I wish I had brought a pair of sunglasses. Im in a countryside now. The hobo was a good fourteen miles or more ago. I swear its brighter out here. I summoned my wings to use as shade. Stupid bright sun.
::3 Dai
Satoshi smiled at the note and how innocent Dai was. He hoped the redhead wasnt lonely.
::Dai,
You seriously are so naive. Yes all is well. Dark and Krad are accepting my temporary leadership role. No explosions but not so sure when Krad has those ingredients you gave him to buy. Why him? Have you seriously lost it? I would have kicked the hobo until he left me alone, but thats just my nature. Alcoholic beverages are bad. Dont drink alcoholic beverages. You didnt feed him. You gave him money. Yes I'd assume hobo's to be 'stanky'. But thats why your so cute. Your innocence, I mean.
It wasnt that funny. Yes I smiled but not about that. I smiled because you replied. I can almost see you in my imagination with your wings spread out like that. Will you tell me what town had the hobo?
::Yours, Satoshi
Twenty minutes passed before Satoshi got any response from Dai. He had begun to fidgit after ten minutes.
::Sheesh Satoshi,
Act like a kid sometime. What teen says naive besides you. Me because of that just now but it didnt count. Why Krad? Because hes the only one insane enough to go in those stores and buy them. The poor hobo. Thats mean. No kicky hobos. Promise I wont drink. This family I just ran across gave me a horse to ride so thats why my writing looks bad. Do you think me gullible enough to fall for the whole hobo town trick. No. Noon Satoshi. No later of tomorrow. Ill be back then.
Im glad I brought my music or this would be a VERY boring ride. What are we, Satoshi? I need to know because...because I miss you.
::Daisuke
Satoshi read it through then frowned at the end how it seemed to be written quickly. It was almost liked Dai feared to ask.
::Dai,
What do you want us to be? I THOUGHT we were together. You know I never want to be away from you now. I was crushed when you left this morning. Make sure you feed the horse and water it periodically. They dont do well when they begin to get thirsty. Please be careful.
::As before and after, Satoshi
Satoshi gave the paper a nod before flipping the T.v. on to the news then began thinking of things they would still need in the coming fight against Kei. He knew what Dai was doing was important too, he had finally come to terms with it.
::Satoshi,
Please dont be mad at me. I have to go for now because Im coming up on another town and I dont want to be too much of a sore thumb. When Krad comes back can you ask him to get a few more things? I need him to see if he can get darts and liquid sleep for animals. Please Satoshi? Thank you. I would hug you if I were there right now. You're alone and worried about me, I know you ARE irritable whether you agree or not. Sorry again and please dont be mad.
::As truly, Dai
Satoshi smiled slightly then realized it was nearing two thirty. He and Dai had spoken for nearly an hour!
With a sigh, Satoshi stood, stretched and walked to the balcony to get a breath of fresh air. He knew it was going to be a long day with how slow it had passed already and knew Krad would need help too.
Two and a half hours later, Satoshi was about to call for room service when Krad returned with a good dozen extremely full grocery bags. He shook his head and went over to help.
"Did you get everything?"
"With the amounts Niwa asked, no."
"How much of it did you get?"
"Maybe a third."
"Well, stay here, eat dinner then we can both go out and get the rest. He also needs a couple more things." Satoshi's face screwed up in confusion. "Darts and liquid sleep for animals."
"Oookay. Food then shop again."
"Right."
Satoshi ordered room service, two salads (one for each), a pizza (For Krad), a sub (For Satoshi) and two large waters. When the room service came, the boy at the door began flirting openly with Krad, who punched him in the gut then slammed the door in his face.
"Stupid room service." Krad mutmured.(lol mutmured)
"Its because you look feminine without your normal scowl and murderous look in your eyes." Satoshi explained as he started on his salad. "What I dont like is this bit of hair that keeps falling out of my pony tail and into my face."
"Do like me and pull it up high." Krad said pointing to his high ponytail. "It works, usually."
"Have you ever taken your hair down?"
"No."
"You should sometime. Some people find it...interesting."
Their conversations went from joking to the serious plan laying type and dinner passed slowly. Krad had watched Satoshi all through the meal, noticing the almost vacant look in his eyes.
"You miss the Niwa, dont you?"
Satoshi's head snapped up. They had been talking about the upcoming fights against Kei so it surprised him at the question.
"What?" He whispered.
"You miss him, dont you?"
"Who?"
"The Niwa."
"Yes. Since we met, neither of us left the others side, whether we consciously thought that or not. We stayed by each others sides even when we were enemies. Its odd that we're apart now."
"Dont worry. The Niwa will want to return to you even if you dont believe it, he really does. I can tell how much he's meant for you."
"I wish I saw it. I feel like I'm too protective of him, trying to keep him with me and I think it's pushing him away." Satoshi admitted to the table top where he was avidly staring. "I'm so afraid to push him away I keep trying to keep him closer."
"Be natural, Satoshi-sama. Thats why he fell for you. He didnt fall for the protective side. I think he's also feeling a bit repulsed by the overly protective side of you because he can take care of himself as he's proven more than once."
"When your not trying to be a homicidal maniac your actually nice, Krad."
"I know."
"And yet your so self absorbed."
"Why would you say that?"
"You stare at yourself in the mirror, try to say your right all the time, and become offended if anyone calls you anything less than beautiful."
"So not true."
"It is. Ask Dark or Dai. It's true."
"They'd say it was true because they both dont agree with my views."
"And I do?"
"You understand why I want them."
"Don't tell me your the spy."
Krad glared at Satoshi. "If you ever say that again I will become the homicidal maniac again."
"Ooo. Krads grown a backbone again."
"Satoshi's grown braver in his attacks. Amazing. Maybe the Niwa isnt that bad if he made you have a fighting spirit. I should thank him. Wait...Thats not fair. The Niwa wrote you and Dark but not me. The little whimp."
"What should he have said? 'Hi Krad be a good boy and buy my explosives for me'?"
"No."
"Then what?"
"Maybe 'Krad you are the coolest and strongest person ever in the world and I dont see how Dark measures up to you.' or just praise."
"That was praise."
"Bite me."
"Sorry Krad but Im not a vampire or like you like that. Go find a whore."
"Like I would use a whore in my needs! They are all touched before me. I need pure people, like..."
"Dark..."
"A beautiful woman of the right age..."
"Dark..."
"With dark hair..."
"Dark..."
"And soulful eyes..."
"Dark..."
"Maybe infertile..."
"Dark..."
"Or has had some medical surgeries to not have rotten twerps..."
"Dark..."
"And loves what I do for a living..."
"Dark..."
"With a beautiful name like..."
"Dark..."
"WHAT! NO! EW! THAT...that...that thing! NONONONONONO!"
Satoshi laughed as Krad made odd noises of disagreement. He laughed harder when Krad chocked on some of his water.
"You know, Krad, if you didnt like Dark you woundnt go through this much to make me think you dont. You being a total spaz about it makes me think you like guys and Dark in particular."
"NO!"
"Well Krad, its nearing six so we'd better head out to get the other things on Dai's list."
"True."
Both stood up and slipped on their shoes before walking out the door, making sure to lock it and ward it before walking down the hall. The sun was low in the sky but still giving them enough light to see for a few more hours.
Nine o'clock rolled around and the door to Dai and Satoshi's room banged open to reveal two winded boys practically buried in bags. They put the bags in the living room, covering both couches and quite a bit of the floor.
"Why does he need this much!" Krad practically yelled as he flopped on the floor.
"Well nearly four dozen bags on this trip and another dozen last trip would make it pretty easy to keep Kei busy with a few fires and all."
"True." Krad flopped out more on the floor, exhausted.
"You know, with the way you're laying, you look beat. I'd think a nearly four hundred year old artifact would have more stamina than a teen."
"Oh shut up."
"Fine, Mr. Snooty-pants."
"That is so first grade."
Satoshi rolled his eyes. "Your just too tired to come back with an adequate response."
"I can too."
"There you go. Another lame response."
"No it isnt. Its just short."
"Lame again."
"Stop it."
"Still lame."
"Will you shut up with the lame?"
"Absolutely lame."
Krad stood up and growled at Satoshi. "You are the biggest pain I know."
"Still a bad come back."
"Just help me sort these bags out."
"Fine."
"Where should we put the darts?" Came from Krad five minutes later.
"Put them in a corner on the far left."
"And the sleep stuff?"
"Beside the darts."
That went on for the next hour, Satoshi doing most of the work and Krad repetively asking questions. The redundancy of Krads questions earned him more than one smack upside the head.
When they were finally done seperating the dozens of bags, It neared ten thirty. Satoshi felt his pocket growing warm, making him pull the sheet of paper out of his pocket.
::Satoshi,
I've reached my destination. I'm trying to get in now. It wasnt the easiest. A few guards were posted but I took care of them. Got it. The locks undone. I'm headed in.
::Dai
Satoshi held the paper tightly as he read. He feared Dai was hurt.
::Dai,
Are you hurt? You said you took care of them, but you didnt say easily enough. Did they get you? Were there a lot? What happened?"
::Worried, Satoshi
Dai's response took some time. It was nearly ten minutes later when He finally did reply.
::Satoshi,
Its nothing really. A few small cuts but nothing serious. Promise. Im in and I've found what I came for.
::Dai
Satoshi looked confused at the paper, thinking some hidden meaning was in it. He saw no real logic in most of it but he was relieved all the same to what it said.
::Dai,
What did you go for and find? I'm extremely relieved you arent hurt badly. It took you nearly twenty hours to get there. You wont be back until at least seven tomorrow night. You told me before dawn and noon tomorrow, what will it be? Will you be okay getting what you went to get and yourself back here?
::Satoshi
Satoshi waiting anxiously for Dai's response and hoped Dai would be fine. He had begun pacing when Dai's response finally came.
::Satoshi
Ill fly so I should be there between dawn and noon. It'll probably be closer to noon because of the weight of what I came for. Trust me, Ill be there before noon. I have to go for now. I hear a couple more guards or just the previos ones waking up. I should have hit them harder. Stupid hard heads.
::True as ever, Dai
Satoshi smiled at how Dai called them hard heads, but it didnt last long when he realized Dai had to fight again. He bit his lip lightly in worry then turned to Krad.
"Kr..."
Krad was staring at his sheet of paper from Dai. He waved Satoshi off, to let him knew he heard but was already too busy to reply.
::Kraddo,
You cant do anything to me for calling you that. Too bad I dont and havent feared you for a while. Do me a favor and keep Satoshi company until I return. I dont want him to worry himself sick.
I found out that Kei planned on attacking in a few days. That means you'll have to start making the bombs and things tomorrow when you wake up. It'll take a lot of delicate work and so I recommend you have good light and sleep. I actually have the directions on the last pages of the notebook, so Satoshi wouldnt really know about them.
He's going to want to know what I say, so sum it up but dont lie to him. Dark wrote me earlier and said the birds are as retarded as he thought. He complained about them being childish. Im just glad I sent him with them instead of you. If you went there wouldnt be a spy network to keep going. I really apreciate you being kind now, it helps a lot. I'd rather not kick your butt right now or when I get back.
::Daisuke
Krad laughed at the message and Satoshi raised an eyebrow to him making him laugh all the harder. He smiled a bit and nodded to Satoshi before scribbling his reply.
::Hey kid,
Satoshi wont apreciate you holding stuff from him. I laughed at how well you explain things and Satoshi raised an eyebrow at me. How dare he! Im worth both of em!
When I wake tomorrow Ill be sure to start the bombs and stuff. What exactly were the darts and liquid sleep for? All of us want to know.
Dont worry, all will be well when you return. Ill keep Satoshi in line and hopefully Dark wont return for...nevermind. Hes back.
He wishes you well, Dark does.If they were women, they would so be crying about how they miss you. Disgusting.
::CRANKY (Dark wrote) Krad
Dark had landed on the balcony and came in that way before seeing Krad write and wrote cranky on the page. He had laughed at the angry blond before flopping down beside him.
"Mio and Mara, are taking care of everything. ARGH they are such annoying pests."
"Hmmm." Satoshi smirked like his old self. "Sounds a lot like you, Mousy."
"I am NOT not annoying."
"Try again." Krad said.
"You too, Kraddy?"
"Yes me too, because its true."
Dark pouted. "Not cool."
"This is going to be a long night, isnt it?" Satoshi asked a bit darkly.
Krad chuckled. "Of course it will. You're missing your lover," Satoshi was about to deny it but Kred cut him off when he blushed. "So maybe you havent done it but your close enough."
"We're fifteen, Krad. Unlike Saehara, we'd like to wait until we're older."
"Or the right time comes up?" Dark asked.
"Yes."
"Suuuuure." Dark replied as he flopped on Krads lap.
"You really need to stop that. Someone may think you two are lovers." Satoshi said, smirking.
Krad immediately pushed Dark off his lap and sputtered some uncomprehensible words to deny it. Satpshi chuckled at the two, one on the floor with a dazed but angry look and the other spluttering everywhere still.
"Its nearly eleven." Satoshi said calmly. "None of us are tired and yet we have nothing to do."
"I can always tease Kraddy." Dak said, before Krad punched him in the arm. "OW! Kraddy that hurt."
Satoshi shook his head good-naturedly and smiled slightly at the two. He thought it was funny how two four hundred year old artworks could act like children.
"Lets play a game!" Dark called.
"What do you have in mind?" Satoshi said warily.
"Races."
"Huh?"
"We race. You'll see."
Ten minutes later, Dark had an obstical course set up in the living room area of the hotel room. He chuckled at his ingenousness.
"Okay, first round, you must crawl on you hands and knees..." Krad chuckled at how easy that would be. "Backwards."
Krad groaned. "Thats...stupid."
"Just admit you cant do it, Kraddy."
"I can and will."
Satoshi had been backing up away from them very slowly for the past five minutes. Drak turned around to him and smiled sneekily at him.
"All three of us at the same time. Backwards around the couch, under the table, through the blanket tunnel, on the balcony, back inside, over the other couch and back here." Dark said happily.
One in the morning arrived and Satoshi was stuck under both fallen stools and the red couch, having been on the wrong end of a trick by Dark aimed at Krad. Krad was pinned under a table and Dark was dancing around the room, having finished the obsticle the most times in first place.
"Lemme up!" Krad shouted as Dark danced passed him.
"Nope." That was the wrong answer.
Krads hand shot out and grabbed Darks ankle. Dark lost his balance and fell on the wood table Krad was under, breaking it and landing with his face in Krads happy parts, which werent so happy.
Dark groaned and opened his eyes, and saw where he had landed. He had a sneaky smile again and pretended he didnt know where he had landed and blew out a deep breath in the form of a sigh.
Krad shifted below Dark as the warm breath drited through his pants. 'I really dont like how this is...WHAT IS HE DOING!'
Dark had dropped his head and laid there on Krad, using his unhappy happy places as a pillow. He shifted his head around, pushing against Krad, and then laid still on him.
"D-Dark?" Krad asked weakly.
"Hmmm?"
"What are you doing?"
"Laying on you."
"On my dick?"
"What?"
"You're. Laying. On. My. Dick."
"EW!" Darks head shot up and he saw the acomplishments of a few seconds, a minute or two's, worth of akward feelings. "Kraddy, looks like you got happy, ne?"
"What!"
"You. Are. Errect. Like a flag."
Krad rightly fainted at the thought of Dark makin him turned on. Satoshi only chuckled and shook his head at the two.
"Nice, Dark. You made him blackout with the prospect of being turned on."
"Its better than his bitching."
"Thats so mean to the guy YOU like."
"What?"
"You like him, dont you?"
"No." Satoshi thought he saw a quick flicker in Darks eyes.
"Liar."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"I'm not, but I know you and Dai are so cute." He said smirking, trying to make Satoshi unconfortable.
"Thank you." Nothing, not a flicker of embarassment.
"Help me carry Krad to the bed."
Krad was, amazingly, heavier than they both thought and they barely made it to the bed with him. They flopped him down and both agreed it was late enough to try to sleep.
"Good night, Creepy."
"Same to you." Satoshi said as he crawled into his bed and Dark into Dai's with Krad.
Dark was soon asleep and Krad woke up around three. Satoshi was still awake and staring at the ceiling.
"I see you cant sleep." Krad said quietly from the wall side of the bed, as he pushed himself up on one elbow.
"It's just odd to not have Dai here with me now. I cant sleep without him I guess."
"Thats acceptable." Satoshi rolled over to watch Krad.
Krad was...He was combing his fingers through Darks hair. Satoshi watched, stunned at Krads softened face and how he lightly played with Darks hair.
"You like him dont you, Krad? Since the whole in the same world thing?"
"Yes. Dont worry about it." Krads eyes connected with Satoshi's. "He's not like me...us."
"He's straight? Is that what you mean?"
"Yeah. He likes someone else. He wont say but I can tell."
"I'm sorry, Krad. Even you dont deserve that."
"Retribution. Not everything is fair, Master Satoshi."
"Thats just cruel."
"I deserve it. I took loved ones away so I deserve it."
"But your good, better now!" Satoshi's voice was louder.
"Sssh." Krad said glancing down at the deep sleeping Dark in a caring manner. "I can stand it. I dont want him hurt, sadly."
"You've changed quite a bit since we were together. Thats good."
Krad smirked. "Dont worry, Master Satoshi. Ill be fine. You just worry about you're own lover boy. He'll be fine. Think of a way to apologize for being overprotective. I bet he'll appreciate you all the more if you admit that you wanted to keep him safe by protecting him and keeping him close."
"What made you change so drastically?"
"Being in that world...I guess it calmed me down. Yeah I still have my killing urges but I know when and who not to hurt."
"I still dont really understand why you changed. To make Dark like you more?"
"I knew I was wrong, but I liked and still like to kill. That cant be changed. I'm supressing the darker urges that made me such an ass."
Satoshi yawned. "Sure."
"Try to sleep, Master Satoshi. Niwa wont much like you being tired when he returns. He'll probably tired himself and wont want to put up with you being cranky too."
"I'm never cranky." Krad raised a speculative eyebrow. "Fine. Im never cranky with anyone but you and Dark."
"Right now, that doesnt matter. What matters is that you rest up for Niwa's return tomorrow."
"I cant sleep."
"Do you want me to come over there?"
"No."
"Thats what I thought. Now go to sleep or I will come over there."
Satoshi laid there for over an hour, while Krad kept a diligent watch on the sleeping Dark. They both drifted off to sleep at the wee hour of five in the morning.
