DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha OR D N Angel
FULL SUMMARY: Dark is considered an outcast among the winged people, because his wings are black instead of white. Why? How are they black? Will anyone ever accept him for who, or what, he is?
OUTCAST
PROLOGUE
In the large castle of the Winged People, there was a great celebration at hand, for the Queen had been found pregnant with her second son. This would be considered a very happy occasion... if it were not for what was to happen...
The Queen laid her hand on her belly, which had yet to bulge, as she stood on an indoor balcony lookiong over the happily dancing citizens. The castle healer had not discovered she was pregnant until she was already one week in. She had been feeling sick every morning for three days when the King began to worry.
Said King placed his hand on top of the one she had on her stomach and smiled gently. "Krad will finally have a sibling, my dear Hio."
Queen Hio returned with a graceful smile. "Yes, Takeshi. I'm sure he will be a wonderful older brother."
All of a sudden, every candle lighting the ballroom blew out. The townsfolk stopped dancing immediately to look around slightly flustered and confused.
"What is going on?" Queen Hio asked aloud as an uneasy feeling developed in the pit of her stomach.
An evil cackle filled the room as the huge wooden doors slammed open. A cloudy mist flowed into the room and a dark figure appeared. "Oh how wonderful you've been found with child again Hio." a feminine voice said as the figure stepped into the miniscule light from the moon in the windows.
Gasps and whispers filled the air.
'It's the witch Towa!'
'What is she doing here?!'
'What does she want?'
'Oh no! What is she going to do to the Queen?!'
King Takeshi withdrew the sword at his side as his wings grew from his back. "What the hell do you want?! You were not invited, Towa, now leave!" he glared angrily.
"Oh dear, so mean." Towa giggled in response, but her face turned serious as fast as the smile had come. "I've come to give you a present."
"You will do no such thing! Guards, take her away at once!" King Takeshi yelled.
"Do you really think they can do a thing to me?!" A sadistic grin flew across Towa's face as she lifted her arms and stopped every guard in their tracks. "You're lucky I feel generous enough not to kill them. Now, for my gift. I hereby give my life to place a curse upon the spawn inside Queen Hio Mousy! For when they shall kiss another, that one will DIE! " A silver light shot from her left hand into the Queen's stomach. "And I wipe all of your memory clean." As soon as it hit, Towa dropped to the floor and turned to ash. Dead.
Queen Hio dropped to her knees and clutched her stomach, screaming in agony.
"HIO!" Takeshi knelt and took her into his arms. "Hio!! Stay with me! HIO!!" And she passed out in his arms. "SOMEONE GET THE HEALER!"
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-) -- nine months later
Queen Hio breathed hard as sweat rolled down her brow, and she screamed.
King Takeshi held her hand tightly. "Push! Push my darling, Hio, push!"
"AAAAHHHH!! YOU DID THIS TO ME YOU ASS HOLE!!"
'That's what she said last time...' King Takeshi tried not to laugh. Poor Krad stood in a corner of the room, looking petrified. The next thing he knew, a baby's cry filled the room.
"King Takeshi! It's a boy!!" The healer announcedhappily.
"Let me see him! Please, let me see him." Queen Hio smiled as the healer handed the newborn baby to her. "He's so beautiful... look his hair is as golden as Krad's."
"It's almost time for his wings to come for the first time, Hio." King Takeshi smiled.
Queen Hio smiled even brighter as she held him by the armpits in front of her, to give his wings room.
All of a sudden, the baby's hair slowly turned a deep violet from tip to root. Lumps started to grow on his back, until wings burst out as the baby cried for the first time.
Hio and Takeshi's smiles disappeared instantly. "Wha- what is wrong with my baby! His wings! They're black!! NO! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BABY!!" she screamed as she glared at the 'thing' in her hands.
