Peach Chopsticks here with a DNAngel fan fiction!

This fic is based strongly about Daisuke and Satoshi's relationship, as well as adding more of a twist with Dark and Satoshi as well as Dark and Krad in later chapters.

Please, keep in mind that while this is my first fan fiction, I am not new to writing stories and that reviews will be greatly appreciated. Constructive criticism and maybe even the odd praise is what keeps me going! -

And on that note, enjoy!

-Prologue-

The night was cool and fresh as Dark took to the sky, black wings camouflaged against the blue-tinged black of the sky. He was early for his debut, even though he had taken the time to look his best for his performance, or Daisuke's mother did more accurately. Of course, it wasn't often that he was seen anyways, being the phantom thief that he was, so he didn't see why such a fuss should be made over how he dressed. This night was hardly different from any other night though that Dark was in control; but there was a difference.

Tonight he was stealing the painting named "Euphelia's Nightscape," though it wasn't exactly for himself, but more so for his other half, Daisuke. As could be heard from a previous discussion between Dark and the Commander, Satoshi, this painting would represent Daisuke in a matter of speaking. Steal this, and the Phantom thief has Satoshi's word that he'll never touch Daisuke. Fail, and Satoshi doesn't need to make any such promise.

Landing softly on the top the building said to hold the painting, Dark worked on decoding the simple lock that was the rooftop door's security. Oddly enough, no guards could be seen above where Dark was, making him almost second guess if Satoshi's family even owned this painting. Of course, even if there had been guards, it wouldn't have mattered. Dark's disguise was perfect as he looked almost identical to Satoshi.

"Ah..."came Dark's soft answer as the door clicked it's lock being undone. Things were going fairly smoothly as of now, but of course they would, as he was the Phantom Thief Dark.

Running swiftly down the stairs, Dark made it to the level below the roof and opened the door in front of him. If his quick research had served him well, then the painting should be close-by. Now running through the hallway in front of him, Dark did a quick scan of the dark walls for a sign of a painting. There was nothing. Catching a door to his right from the corner of his eye, Dark quickly decoded the lock and threw open the door.

Pausing, Dark noticed a device in front of him, lasers blocking his way to the painting that had to be in such a secured room. Dark cleared his throat and leaned slightly in a microphone to his left.

"Satoshi Hawatari," Dark stated clearly, doing his best to sound like the man he was impersonating as he already looked like him. ERROR. Small red lights flashed and sirens sounded as a woman's computerized voice was heard coming from the machine, stating the obvious error in the system.

A voice nearby stated, "The same person can't go through twice," though it wasn't from the machine in front of Dark but beyond it. Satoshi. Removing his disguise, Dark smirked as his true identity was made clear.

"So it seems you've managed to get one step ahead of me," Dark said coolly to the blue-haired classmate of Daisuke's. Despite his attitude, Dark was quite flustered at having Satoshi there. He couldn't go forward, the commander in the way, and there didn't seem to be any way to get to the painting besides through that door. Having no other choice, Dark turned around, running towards the exit he had came from. If things worked out smoothly, the Phantom thief would lure Satoshi out from where the painting lay before doubling back and stealing the work of art.

Things didn't seem like they would go smoothly this time though, a chain of events already seeming to be set off by Dark not being able to get to the painting first. He ran down the hallway quickly, the shouts of the police able to be heard as they rushed towards the painting on the cue of the wailing siren and flashing red light. If Dark had simply been trying to outsmart, and outrun, the police, the painting would have been long stolen by now. Unfortunately, he wasn't, and Satoshi was hot on his trail, eager to catch the phantom thief and be rid of his stealing artwork from the Hikari family.
