But Master Satoshi!

[Krad]

It was deep at night, and Krad listened to his vessel's soft breathing as he slept. Even though Krad wanted to go out that night and capture Dark, he knew that Satoshi's body needed to regenerate to maintain his power, so he patiently waited. Krad thought for a moment and then thought of an idea.

'Master Satoshi...?' He whispered to the sleeping boy in his head.

[Anael Armar]

The blunette tried to roll over and ignore his other self, but he knew it was a losing battle. The homicidal angel was too stubborn to give up if he wanted something. Instead of ignoring him, he sat up and leaned against the headboard of his bed. He knew he wouldn't stay awake if he remained lying down.

Why do you choose to bother my slumber THIS time? he hissed at the blonde through his thoughts.

[Krad]

'Lets just say that you snoring bothers me, but that isn't the reason why I called.'

Krad smiled to himself.

'I've noticed that we haven't been in a good condition for a while, so I was wondering if we could make a deal.'

[Anael Armar]

A deal. Deals usually meant something bad, or at least for the one whom the deal was being proposed to--which made Satoshi the dummy if he took Krad's word. Nonetheless, it sounded of semi interest. Even if he didn't go along with it, he still wanted to hear about it.

You have my interest. Explain.

[Krad]

Krad laughed.

'I know you despise me, and I respect that from you, but it seems that you have no real use to me anymore since you've gotten a knack for disobeying me, so here is my idea.'

'There is a possible way how my soul can be transfered to another tamer...'

[Anael Armar]

He raised an eyebrow at this idea. It seemed to good to be true, yet dangerous. But then again, there always had to be a catch.

Well, you can only exist in the Hikari gene, which means I'd have to have a child... he told him. No thanks. I don't want to be a father at sixteen. Not that I'd want to make you someone else's problem anyway.

[Krad]

Krad laughed.

What a worthless, caring person you are. It seems that my hard work has been wasted through these years.'

Krad whispered something, as if righting it down into his host's head. 'By the time I'm done with you, you won't have any emotions, nothing.'

Then it was silent, as if that was all Krad had to say for the night.

[Anael Armar]

His words seemed to final, yet Satoshi wanted to argue against it. The only problem was that he didn't know what to say. Was that all Krad was trying to do? Destroy his emotions completely?

Seems like a pointless task to me, he replied after thinking for several moments. But that's all you know, isn't it? A pointless existence. Why don't you do something prodictive for once?

[Krad]

Unable to stand back and let Satoshi make an argument, Krad spoke again.

'Whose the one who hasn't done anything productive..?'

Krad chuckled.

'What have you done that made your existence here worth remembering?'

[Anael Armar]

Satoshi laughed to himself at Krad's comment. He seemed very argumentive tonight, desperate to win. What was the point anyway? He didn't really care, as long as it was getting on Krad's nerves.

Well I, for one, have only had sixteen years to do something productive with my life. That's nothing compared to centuries.

[Krad]

'I have done many productive things in my life, many include of torturing weak and mindless Hikari like you. ⌐⌐'

[Anael Armar]

I see... he replied arrogantly. Bravo, Krad. Bravo. I'm sure many people look up to you for it.

After making his sarcastic comeback, he lay back down. He didn't plan on falling asleep, though. He wasn't as tired anymore. It was just that the headboard got uncomfortable after a while, and Krad's annoying voice didn't help his comfort zone either.

[Krad]

Krad gave a telepathic glare.

'All you have done is hurt your friends, the ones that care or cared for you...'

Krad hissed.

'Especially Daisuke Niwa.'

[Anael Armar]

"I never hurt anyone!" Satoshi bellowed aloud without realizing. "You're the one who has hurt people, and I have been nothing but you're puppet. Don't even try tricking me into believing that this is my fault, Krad."

Although Satoshi talked is if he had no guilt, he did secretly blame himself for those things. It was why he kept himself distanced from everyone, especially Daisuke. It was why he couldn't have friends or be close to anyone.

[Krad]

Krad was shocked by his sudden impulse.

'Satoshi-sama?'
