Warning before we start:
Alright people, this one person thinks I should have a warning for this story because she got all pissed at how Risa acted in the third chapter. So before we move on, I have a warning. For those who love Risa to death and thinks she's the best ever (which personally, that's fine by me) I'll just say, as this story progresses, she kinda acts like a bitch. So if you are uncomfortable with that, I suggest that you turn away. If you decide to read on, please do not yell at me expressing and over exaggerating your opinions as to how I've made Risa act. Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. But if you get offended by reading the third chapter, I apologize dearly; I have no intentions of offending anyone in any way. Plus, before you read on, another warning... the characters may be OOC, so I apologize for that.
Now thats over and done with; please, read and I hope you enjoy ^^
Chapter 1:
Dear: Whoever you are…
Dear: member #478,
Hiya! I'm member #316. It is a pleasure to meet you; or I guess is this case, write to you. So; seeing that this is like, the first letter of this stupid "PEN PAL" thing, I don't really know how to start off; so I guess I'll start off with the basics: How are you? What's your name and how old are you? I'll start off there. ^^ it'll be great if you replied. I was forced sign up to this thing, so im trying the best I can.
From: Member #316
P.s- Do you like cheese? Sorry; my friend told me that I had to ask something random at the last minute and this was all that I could think of.
Dark rechecked his letter for the last time that day before sealing it into the envelope. What a great job he had done; though it was under 100 words, excluding the "Dear's" "From's" and "P.s's" he knew that when writing a letter to someone for the first time, it was good to keep it short. Now all he had to do was to send the bloody thing.
"Dark!" a voice called from the hallway. "It's time to go, hurry up!"
Dark quickly stuffed the envelope into his pocket and grinned; "Yeah! Coming Daisuke!" he shouted back and ran down the stairs.
Ever since the big battle between Dark and Krad and the black wings; Dark knew the only way for it to end was to seal Krad and himself back into the black wings. Though everything went according to plan; three months after the sealing, for some reason, the black wings spat both Krad and Dark out of it. The thing hadn't been cut like before, nothing had altered it, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. And yet; Dark and Krad came back out. God knows why.
And once freed, the only thing Dark could do was to call forth to with and fly back to Daisuke's home. And from there, he just ended up living with them. A normal 17 year olds' life.
It had also been decided that they send Dark to school. He had to do something while he lived through his teens; so why not? Though he was capable and smart to run a country; there were still a lot of things he could learn from this new era that he now lived in.
And during his stay with his host, Daisuke thought that it be a great idea to join a pen pal program so he could get to know people around the world; seeing that the school suggested it, Daisuke took all the chances he could. He even bugged Hiwatari-kun to give it a try, tried suggesting that Krad join too. But that didn't end so well… Hiwatari just smiled and walked away. Daisuke thought that if Krad joined; he'd become more social; but that immediately went down the drain…
"Hey Daisuke." Dark greeted as he came up to Daisuke at the doorway.
"You ready?" Daisuke asked while putting on his school bag. "We'll have to drop by the school office so you can drop your letter off."
"Yeah sure." Dark replied with a grin. "I'm somewhat kind of excited about this letter thing…"
Daisuke smiled. "Aren't you?" he asked. "You're going to gain a friend, and who knows where this persons' situated in. it could be China, Greece, Australia, anywhere."
"Yeah I know. Who knows where this Member #478 is. I hope the dude replies though…"
Daisuke tapped the top of his shoe against the tiled floor to get his foot comfier in its shoe. "It could be a girl. How do you know?" he asked.
"Oh yeah; that's right, I'm the only one that signed up for the thing. What happened with the whole 'Don't worry Dark; I'll join with you. So let's give it a try' thing, huh?" Dark asked sarcastically.
"A ha, ha… yes. To tell you the truth Dark; I forgot."
Dark turned and started to put his own shoes on. "Hmp!" he hmp'd. "What a likely story you tell me. But okay, okay; I'll leave it at that; the reason why im so sure that it's a guy, is because I signed up for a guy."
Daisuke gave a confused look as he opened the front door, "But why a guy? I thought you'd pick a female pen pal. You always pick female"
"True. But just think about it Daisuke." Dark said as he stepped outside. "If I get a girl, things could get crazy if she found out who I was or if she wanted to meet face to face with me."
Daisuke stepped outside. "By mom; we're off!"
"Bye Dai-chan; Dark!" Emiko shouted down from the hallway. "Have a great day!"
Daisuke closed the door and started walking off down the street with Dark. "It could be the same with a guy." Daisuke said, continuing their conversation. "How do you know that pen pal-ing a guy isn't worse than a girl?"
Dark's face suddenly dropped. "And who's the one that convinced me to do this in the first place? But god; I hope not!"
Daisuke slightly chuckled at Dark's face. "He might be worse than Harada-san."
Dark's face dropped deeper from its position while tinting a dark blue meshed with a blackish purple colour. "Please…" he slowly pleaded. "Don't bring her into this. I swear to god I need a restraining order against that psycho chick!"
Daisuke smiled. "Don't worry; I'll doubt you'll get her."
"You bet I won't!" Dark quickly retorted. "I'll die if she found out about this. I bet she'd kill off the programmers to tell her my member number and threaten to let her be my buddy…" Dark shivered at his last thought of Risa bombarding the school office demanding for the pen pals office address. "Then she won't stop writing letters to me. Oh god! Daisuke, what have you gotten me into?" Dark shouted while grabbing onto his purple hair.
Daisuke sighed and started to rub the back of his neck. "Dark…" he slowly started. "I truly, highly doubt that will happen."
"Says the boy who couldn't get away from our dear touch-me-all-over blue-haired commando…"
Daisuke suddenly blushed. "D-Dark!" he started to stammer. "Don't say weird things about Hiwatari-kun!"
Dark chuckled. "Awww… look; you're blushing."
They both turned a corner on a street and started to walk up hill towards the school. Dark continued to chuckle and started to jog a little ahead of Daisuke. "We better hurry, dear Daisuke; your prince charming is probably waiting for you in class!"
Daisuke super blushed. "Shut up!" he shouted very nervously. "He's just my friend!"
Dark gave a sly grin. "Yes… is that why your heart stopped going spastic for Riku and started cheering on Hiwatari?" He asked.
"Hey! What is that suppose to mea-" he didn't get to finish. Dark was sprinting up the hill. "You better hurry Daisuke otherwise we'll be late for school!" Dark shouted back. "And I really don't want to run into Risa!"
Daisuke sighed and started to run after Dark. "Dark-!" he shouted. "Wait up-!"
When the boys arrived at their school gate; they had just made it by five minutes. And Dark didn't come across Risa; thank god. But he did come across Hiwatari Satoshi. Aka: blue commando boy!
"Uooowh… well if you'll look who it is. It's our dear Sato-kun~~" he ended cooing at the 'Kun' part. "How are we today; good? I hope so" he then turned and started to head off to his class. "Oh, and; try not to rape Daisuke in public today, will you?" he asked while waving his hand in the air.
Satoshi didn't really know what to say. He just randomly came across Dark and Daisuke; then all of a sudden was told not to rape the boy… weird. He then turned to speak with Daisuke. He still hadn't said good morning to the kid.
"Niwa-" Satoshi stopped when he noticed the expression on Daisuke's face. It had pure Dark domination written all over it; at the same time blushing like mad with tightly closed fists; how cute.
"Um… I'm just going to ignore that. But; how are you?" he asked trying to change the subject. As he watched Daisuke turn to face him; his red angry blushing face had slowly started to calm itself and his fists started to loosen. He then smiled those bright pearly whites.
"Im great Hiwatari-kun; how are you today?" he happily asked.
Hiwatari smiled with his reply. "I'm good. Having a hell of a hard time controlling Krad though…"
Daisuke's smile slightly dropped, "Oh… I guess he is somewhat hard to control… but at least he's not trying to get his own body anymore…"
"Yes…" Satoshi agreed. "I guess you're right about that. But why did the black wings reject them in the first place?"
Daisuke folded his arms and looked out the window. "I don't know…" he said. "But what's done is done. Im just glad that you're here to take care of Krad. Who knows what he'd do if you weren't there to stop him."
Satoshi slightly chuckled. "Yeah, probably. If I wasn't there he'd probably try to bring upon the apocalypse"
Daisuke chuckled in return. "He needs to open up a little more. Have you tried convincing him to join the Pen Pal program?" he asked.
"I've tried twice already, he just won't do it."
"Maybe you should try just one more time. Maybe he'll agree."
Satoshi gave a 'uh-huh, yeah-sure-that's-going-to-work' look. "Niwa; you said that last time"
Daisuke slightly blushed. "I know… a heh heh…" he started to a feel slightly uncomfortable. "Maybe just one more time?"
Satoshi sighed. "Alright. I'll try; but why do you want him to join so badly?" he asked.
"Well…" Daisuke started. "I just think we should all just get along. We're no longer enemies, so why don't we become friends? Krad doesn't need to be locked in a room all day. He can come to school, like Dark has. I know they hate each other, but I don't see a reason to fight anymore. They have bodies of their very own now; so there isn't a reason to fight." Daisuke then smiled. "You and I are friends, aren't we?"
Satoshi just looked at Daisuke. He then smiled back. "Yeah; we are."
Daisuke then shined his pearly white smile. "Im glad."
As the two were having their own little moment of happy silence; the bell rang.
"Oh! The bell" Daisuke said as he turned and looked at the other students walking to their class rooms. "I've gotta get to class; I'll see you later, okay Hiwatari-kun?" he then started to slightly jog away.
Satoshi just stood there. "Um…" he then called out to Daisuke. "Niwa!"
"Yeah?" Daisuke answered as he turned around.
"We're both in the same class…"
Daisuke slightly blushed. "Oh…"
In Dark's class room; he was once again; surrounded by a million girls.
"Hey~ Mousy-kun" one girl asked, leaning over onto Dark's desk. "Let's go out on a date~" she asked while trying to do these puppy dog eyes, that she was clearly failing at. She looked like she came out of an eye surgery that had gone bad; really bad.
Ugh! Leave me alone! Please! Dark pleaded in his mind. And quit with the dog eyes! You look like you're desperately trying to wink, but can't! "Um…" Dark slowly started to play the part. "Sorry beautiful; but I'm busy this week" he then lifted her chin up with his finger to face nose-to-nose with her. "Maybe next time" he then hesitantly kissed her on the nose. Usually he would never hesitate to kiss a woman; but he didn't quite know; maybe it was the winking that put him off. She was kind of annoying.
"Good morning class…" their teacher announced as she walked into the class room. Her name was Ms. Moori. She was a beautiful twenty four year-old with long brown glimmering hair that reached her waist. How she kept it that from damaging was a mystery to Dark. She had very little make-up on, maybe just a little blush to bring her cheeks out a little; she wore a nice white summer dress with a yellow cardigan over it. It was so hard for Dark not to hit on her; though, if he did, he was sure to get a detention or it probably be taken as a joke. But Dark never jokes; especially when it came to beautiful women. But he kept himself seated.
"Today we have a new student joining our class today." She happily chirped. "Now; he doesn't talk very much; I only got a 'Hello' and that was it. But I hope you can all make him feel welcomed."
Dark slightly snorted. Not the social type, eh? Reminds me of someone.
"You can come in now dear…" she slowly said while smiling a sweet smile.
Dark quickly looked up from his seat and looked at the doorway to see a tall handsome male walk in. Dark's mouth suddenly dropped as he realized who that male was.
"K-Krad…" he slowly chocked out. "What the fuck…?"
As Krad walked in, he had a face that said: 'I'm in a room full of idiotic mortals, I want to leave, let me bloody go home!' but that all changed when he noticed a mass of purple hair towards the back of the class room.
"M-Mousy?" he chocked. The whole class immediately directed their gaze towards Dark.
Dark started to freak as the whole class was staring at him. Crap… he thought.
"Do you two know each other?" Ms. Moori asked. "Well that's great!" she said as she clapped her hands together. "Hikari-kun can sit next to Mousy-kun!"
"WHAT!" both Dark and Krad asked in union, Dark standing up in his seat while slamming his hands on his desk.
"Well Hikari-kun; why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?" their teacher asked, completely changing the topic.
"Huh?" Krad asked.
"Tell us a little bit about yourself." She happily repeated.
"Uh… alright…" Krad then gave a killing glare towards Dark which made the whole class shiver; except Dark; he was used to it.
"My name is Hikari Krad. I'm…" he then stopped and started to count his fingers and started to work something out in his mind. I'm over four hundred years old, but if I tell them that they'll think it's nonsense; I think I look like an eighteen year old; or maybe seventeen… "I… uh… am seventeen years of age" that should be okay… "And I like…" Shit. What do I like? "I like, um… reading books and painting."
As silence fell in the class room; it was soon filled with sighs and girly giggly-ness. The girls had fallen victim to him.
Dark started to lean back into his chair while staring up at the ceiling. What the hell? He questioned himself. Why the bloody fuck is Krad here; and my class room too? I swear to god if I have to stay with him every day of the week during class, im seriously going to kill myself! Or I could just kill him. Dark then started to notice Krad slowly walking up towards him. "Ugh…" he groaned.
"Can it, thief. Im not here because I want to." Krad spat. "So fucking deal with it."
Dark's anger started to bubble up inside of him. It had only been less than a minute and he already felt like blasting the bastard out the window.
Krad sat down at the desk he was assigned to, which was next to Dark's. He was really glad that the desks weren't connected; otherwise he would have murdered the teacher for putting him there.
As the class continued on with its day, it had become a very awkward class. When it came to lunch Dark immediately grabbed Krad by his arm and started to drag him out towards the back of the building outside. He dragged him down stairs, banged him against walls, through people; most like bashing him through them actually, and then last, when they were outside alone; he bashed him up against a wall.
"Why the FUCK are you here Krad?" Dark shouted angrily at Krad. "What the hell are you planning?"
"Get your filthy hands off of me thief." Krad spat while gritting his teeth.
"No way. Not until you tell me what you're bloody fucking planning."
Krad sighed. He didn't really mind telling him his reason for being at the school. He just really wanted to get Dark to let go of him. He hated being touched. He knew reasoning with the idiot wasn't going to work, so he had to use force. With that, Krad wrapped his legs around Dark's waist.
WHAT THE? Dark shouted in his mind. WHATS' HE DOING? THAT'S MY-! He blushed.
Krad waited for the right time for Dark to drop his guard. And when he did, he quickly twisted his body round and flipped Dark off.
Landing on his two legs Dark glared up at Krad. "Ow…" he dully moaned. "That hurt you fucking bastard…" there was no way that Dark was going to be nice to Krad. He was a homicidal sadistic blond that needed to be spat on. And Dark was going to make sure that happened.
"Now, now; there's no need to be like that Dark…" Krad faked a nice voice. "You simply just wouldn't let go of me."
"I swear to god im going to punch you…"
"Hmp. You'll receive a detention for punching another student if I'm not mistaken."
Dark stood up and screamed "Arrrrggghh! I swear to god!" he then turned and summoned a bit of magic and punched his fist into the tree. "Why the fuck are you here?"
Krad then sat down onto the grass and leaned back against the wall. "Relax Mousy." He bitterly ordered. "Satoshi-sama said that I should attend this 'School' because it would help me become more calm and social. And seeing that I have nothing to do all day, I decided to go." He then glared at Dark. "But that doesn't explain why you're here." he finished with slightly gritted teeth.
Dark slowly sat down next to Krad. As he sat, Krad slightly flinched. "Basically the same as you; except for the social part. Im very social compared to you." he looked at Krad and received a "Hmp" as a reply. "Yeah…" he continued. "Im much more social than you."
After that, the two surprisingly sat in a peaceful silence. Enjoying the scenery; but not really much of each other's company. Though that was soon forgotten because of the peaceful silence.
Dark got slightly pissed when Krad broke the silence with a question.
"Oi thief."
"Yes…?"
"Is it normal for thirty people to spy on you while you sit on the grass around here?"
Dark gave a confused look. "What?" he asked.
"I knew you were stupid, but stupid enough to make me repeat?"
"Just repeat it." Dark asked irritated.
"I said; is it normal for mortals to watch you in secret while you sit down on the grass to watch the scenery? Because there are about thirty of them hiding behind the trees; ninety percent of them female…"
Dark finally realized what Krad was getting at. "Yes…" he slowly mumbled. "That is normal for a place like this."
"Oh… isn't that that Harada female?"
Dark quickly spun his head towards the trees. "SHIT!" He quickly stood up and raised his arm into the air. "With!" he shouted and within ten seconds a pair of black wings formed onto Dark's back and he flew off. Krad just watched as the thousands of screaming fan girls came rushing out from the tree's and started following after him.
"Hmmm… interesting…" Krad mumbled to himself; and with that he stood up and walked away.
. . .
The next few days were a little bit of a pain for Dark. Not had he have to deal with the millions of fan girls; but now he had to deal with a homicidal hunter that wanted to kill him every minute he was within a five foot radius of the guy. It had turned out that Satoshi had told Daisuke a lie about Krad because he knew if he told Daisuke the truth, Daisuke would tell Dark, and Dark would simply commit suicide, or just attempt to kill him where he stood. And thinking up an excuse for that was far too bothersome.
A week had passed since Dark sent his letter to the Pen Pal company and he thought now should be the time that he receive a reply. It wasn't long until the door bell rang. Dark quickly walked down the stairs and watched as Emiko opened the door.
"I have some mail for you today." Said the postman with a happy smile on his face.
"Why; thank you post man." Emiko happily replied with a smile five times better than his. She took the mail and closed the door saying good bye to the man. She then flipped through the mail and called out to Dark.
"Dark!" she called out. "I think it's a letter from your pen pal. It has a member number on it."
Dark grinned and dashed over to Emiko. "Really?" he asked excitedly. "Is it for me?"
"I don't know; have a look."
Dark looked down on the envelope and smiled. There on the envelope said: Member #316 Dark quickly took the envelope and run up to his room. "Thanks Emiko! It's for me!" and with that he shut the door.
"My…" Emiko said smiling while placing a hand on her cheek. "Aren't we excited?"
Upstairs in Dark's room; Dark sat at his desk and quickly opened the envelope. In the envelope was a yellow pastel coloured piece of paper with a hand written message on it.
Dear: Member#316,
Hello. I am member#478, and I guess it is a pleasure to write to you too. I am good thank you, and yourself? I do apologize; I am still not very comfortable with revealing my name to you just this yet. But I am okay with telling you my age; I am seventeen. How old are you?
You were forced to join this; why were you forced? You shouldn't do things if you are not comfortable with them. Do your friends know that? I was black mailed into doing this so I guess we are somewhat on the same level here. I was told that I had to do this otherwise I would be kicked out of the house; and I don't really know anyone other than the person I'm living with right now. He said that I should gain more friends and be more nicer to the people around me. I'm not much of a peoples' person as you might call it.
And yes; I guess I like cheese. I have not had it in a long time though. It might be nice to have some right now. And it is okay; it is nice to know that you have friends that help you out in things that you are unsure of. Like putting in random questions at the end of a letter.
From: Member#478
Dark smiled down at the letter. This person sounded like a really nice guy; and for some reason he was really eager to write back to him. Perhaps joining this thing wasn't such a bad idea after all. He quickly opened his desk drawer and pulled out some nice sheets of letter paper and a pen and started to write his reply.
Dear: Whoever you are,
A/N: Yo. This is my first attempt at D.N. ANGEL so I apologize dearly if it does not please you; like if any of the characters are too OOC. I try to keep them pretty close to their originals' but Dark is always thinking about girls and joking around and Krad is always like: "WORLD DOMINATION!" and its kinda hard to think of a way for the stiff to lighten up and at the same time keep him in character. But I hope you enjoyed this chapter there are still many more to come! ^^ and I would love if you people reviewed. I need to know what you think.
