::~ This is a sequel to DN Angel: Dawn of Time. You might want to read that story before reading this one, and review! Okay, now on to what you need to know:

Sea Niwa: A 15-going-on-16 year old girl, who is Daisuke's younger cousin, as well as the host for Dark's younger sister, Misa. She's sporty, and generally does everything right. ( When Hiwatari's not around to do everything better.) She's fun, and sometimes a little bit bossy. She's not to be messed with, period. Hiwatari chooses to ignore this, and messes with her anyway.

Daisuke Niwa: Sea's cousin. The hero in Dn Angel! Not necessarily the hero in this story! ( Sometimes.)He's Phantom Theif Dark's host, but that doesn't mean he's just like him. Daisuke's really sweet, but mess with what he cares about, and your in a world of trouble. He's Riku's boyfriend, and wants it to stay that way!

Satoshi Hiwatari: Super rich son of multi- millionare Kei Hiwatari. He's the kind of guy with a shady past, and who wants to keep it that way. He's obscure about his feelings, and is Krad's host. He's also a Hikari, the last descendant of the ancient bloodline of talented artists.

Riku Harada: A twin to Risa Harada. She knows that Daisuke is Dark, but doesn't know Sea's alter-ego. She's sporty, fun, and sort of a feminist. If there's one thing Riku loves most, it's overcoming an obstacle, and figuring things out.

Risa Harada: A twin to Riku Harada. She's Riku's polar opposite. She hates any form of sports, but loves any form of shopping. She was formerly infatuated with Dark, and then Hiwatari, but now she's with Saehara, and likes it. If there's one thing Risa loves most, it's to laugh.

Takeshi Saehara: Son of Commander Saehara. He's an avid journalist and writer, and has an artistic view on everything. He's a little bit cocky, but Risa puts him in his place. Saehara loves getting the most important news in Japan.

A/N: On to the story!

Three weeks later, Daisuke ran back home, as he was called for an emergency. When he toured the school to see if he could find his cousin, he was told she had already been sent home. His mother sounded distressed, and Daisuke was beginning to get worried. He burst through the door, for once in his life, not thinking about the training traps his mother had set up for him that day. But when he entered, nothing flew at him.

What gives? He thought. He hung his bookbag on a hook. " I'm home!" he called out. He walked down the hall, leaving his shoes. " Mom?" he called out. He found his family, and Hiwatari, sitting around a table. His father, Kouske, was the first to look up. He and everyone else were looking at an old book. Daisuke raised an eyebrow. " What's going on?" he asked, when everyone seemed like they thought he was a ghost.

" Thank goodness!" Emiko cried, standing up and hugging him. He looked at eveyone quizzically, and sat down near the table.

" Where's Sea? Is she with you?" Kouske asked. Daisuke noticed she was missing.

" No, I was told she was already sent here." he said, cautiously. They all heard the front door slam. Moments later, Sea came in to view. She looked at everyone before speaking.

" The aura here feels different. Emiko, did you invite someone who doesn't belong?" Sea asked sarcastically, her eyes landing on Hiwatari. Hiwatari shrugged.

" He's part of this, Sea." Kouske gently chastised.

" And I can help." Hiwatari added. Sea rolled her eyes, and sat around the table as well. Kouske cleared his throat, and began to explain the book in front of everyone.

" I don't know how to tell you this, but some dark magic is at work here. As we all know, two people in our neighborhood have simply, vanished. As you may also know, I have been touring the world for magic artifacts, and I also have come across a few things." Kouske said, pointing to a certain paragraph in the book. This is a short vineta, or short story in spanish, written by a man in the 1800's. It says this:

"I have seen them, lurking at every corner. Shadows are not trusted. They see you. They are there, and they take us. We know not what we can do. Every day, one of us if taken, each one younger than the last. It's a hunger that cannot be satisfied. We must flee.

There is no where to hide."

Kouske looked around, and saw the same thing. They were all afraid. Hiwatari looked particularly upset. " Hiwatari?" Kouske asked, looking at the boy. Everyone's attention was suddenly turned towards the Hikari.

" I know what they are." Hiwatari said, his voice cracking in fear.

The first chapter of my new story! I think I like it. Remember, this takes a TOTAL turn from the last story. But it's somewhat the same. Leave a review about what you think! I'm DYING to know. Literally.
