Prologue

A/N: This wasn't a project that I had planned, but I came across my D.N. Angel manga, vol. 3 the other day and opened it right where a "dressed up" Satoshi and Risa had fallen in the hole together. This spawned before I could help myself.

WARNING: Will contain awkward moments and some scenes may have TMI. Maybe even TNA. As such, the rating may go up in later chapters. This is also a gender-bender. Just a little heads up.

Ever since that time Risa and Satoshi had fallen into that trap together she couldn't quite get him to leave the recesses of her mind. Her classmate was definitely handsome, yes, but his looks weren't his most defining feature. His most defining features went beyond and crossed into personality. He was cold, distant, always aloof, yet serious. He was a mystery, and a total heartthrob for every female (and some males) in their school.

But she had her eyes on Phantom Dark, and wouldn't be taken in by the lures of the bluenette. She merely was concerned with why he had dressed up as a female at Dark's last heist. It didn't make any sense to her. Was he secretly in love with her Phantom too?

"I wish he would be more like a woman," Risa grumbled to herself at lunch, stabbing her chopsticks into her tasteless bento. Riku noticed but was too lazy to ask what her problem was. Or maybe not lazy but thought she already knew. It was usually always Dark this and Dark that.

"Maybe if he was a woman, he'd gossip a little more and I'd know some stuff," Risa mumbled. "Hearsay is better than nothing!" Her foul mood drifted to Riku sitting in front of her, eating her own lunch. Riku slapped her chopsticks to the table and glared at her twin, finally having enough of it. This had been going on for twenty minutes already.

"If you're so dang upset about something, why don't you go consult those tarot cards of yours?"

Risa gave a half smile. "I've tried. They haven't helped me."

"Then go find something that will!" Riku abruptly got up to go get another drink.

"Fine! I will!" Risa also got up fast. There was a dusty old book that their mother hadn't thrown away because it had belonged to their grandmother. Mrs. Harada thought she'd hid it away from her daughters before she and her husband had left the country. Risa had known all along where the book was; it was as if it called to her. Something in her just knew, but she'd respected her mother's wishes in not seeking it out. That would change.

She skipped the rest of school and returned home before anyone else. That book held secrets entitled to her, and she was determined to find them out. Then she'd use them to find out Satoshi's. It was the perfect plan.

A/N: Risa as her annoying self. And maybe turning a little evil?
