Please note this Fanfiction is currently undergoing a major editing process, this first chapter is FAR more polished than the majority of the fic, think of it as a taste of what the rest will look like when I'm done editing it.
This fanfic is set after the anime as a sort of sequel.
The pairings are DaisukexRiku, DarkxRisa, SatoshixShadow, and YumixKrad.
Stuff about writing: This is normal, " "is talking out loud, ' 'is thinking, this is writing in notes, letters and whatever else I feel like using it for,. This is talking to alter egos. And * means look at the end of the fic for the meaning! Well that's about it for info so which means its time for the disclaimer! I don't own DN Angel only my oc's Yumi and Shadow.
"Careful with that! It's a valuable piece of art!" Kei Hiwatari snapped at the workmen that were finishing the cleanup of the destroyed Central Museum. He was personally overseeing the whole project to make sure everything went well as well as to get his hands on the black wings, after Krad's betrayal he was furious and was intent on his own form of revenge against the two angels.
One of the workers driving a large crane was cleaning up the larger pieces of debris, as he sorted through the mess he saw something glint just under some rubble. "I found it!" He called, miraculously it had survived the building crashing down around it.
Kei's eyes brightened with excitement, finally! He would have the power he'd been searching for all these years. "Well then pull it out!" he demanded.
The worker expertly worked the controls of his large vehicle moving the last few pieces of debries out of the way revealing the large artwork compleatly. He then angled the machiens claw to grasp the massive painting lifting it gently from the rubble. As he was doing so a baseball came flying through the air narrowly missing him. Nearby a bunch of kids had set up a game in the newly cleared land where parts of the museum had been. None of the workers had really paid much attention to the kids declaring this part of the cleanup 'simple as pie'. In his surprise the unfortunate worker bumped into the controls causing the crane to swing suddenly and smash the huge painting into a still standing wall of the museum.
Kei swore furiously as he watched the painting explode with a flash of white and black and then shatter into a million pieces.
Daisuke smiled to himself as he washed out paintbrushes in the school's art room. He and Satoshi had volunteered to clean the room in order to stay late. They'd worked it out with their teacher so that every Wednesday the two boys could stay after as Satoshi gave Daisuke extra art lessons. Daisuke had asked him shortly after the Black Wings incident hoping it would help his friend to get out more often.
In Daisuke's eyes his plan had seemed to work. Satoshi had begun to open up more and more and Daisuke was happy to see his friend's progress. He'd even gotten the bluenett to go with him to spend some time with the Harada twins once, that had been interesting.
Daisuke turned from the sink to see his friend, "Its been really peaceful lately hasn't it, Satoshi?" he asked.
Satoshi looked over at him, "What did you expect? With both Dark and Krad gone things have defiantly started to calm down." He replied as he was putting a box of paint up in the closet.
"Do you miss him? I know you hated Krad but he was a part of you for so long." Daisuke asked , it felt like there was a huge hole in his heart where Dark was missing. Even with all the chaos the thief had caused Daisuke still missed him terribly. He wanted to know if Satoshi, even in the slightest bit, missed Krad or felt the same emptiness he felt.
"I've found myself thinking about comments he would make about some of the things I've been doing lately." Satoshi answered, "What about you? Weren't you and Dark really close?"
"Of course I miss him, sometimes I wish he was still here." Daisuke answered, "It's odd without him."
"Your right it does still feel weird. It's like a… a…" Satoshi couldn't find the right word to finish the sentence.
"A hole inside you that you can't seem to fill?" Daisuke finished.
"Exactly." Satoshi nodded. So his friend did feel the same way, it was almost comforting to Daisuke in that he wasn't the only one dealing with it.
They finished up and left the school heading to the fountain. It had become their usual spot since being located about halfway to both their houses. They walked together up until that point and then separated and headed to their homes. Sometimes, Daisuke would sit and sketch for a while before leaving and Satoshi usually watched, though he had recently started drawing as well, another sign that he was beginning to heal, or so Daisuke hoped.
He still worried about Satoshi, it had been a little over a month since everything had changed for both of them and Daisuke liked to keep an eye on his friend to ensure he was keeping his promise to try and live.
On the outside it seemed he was, but every so often Daisuke would catch Satoshi with an odd look on his face, usually it was akin to loneliness, but some day's he wasn't so sure. He wasn't surprised that Satoshi seemed lonely, he knew his friend still lived by himself, even more so that he'd started completely avoiding his father, which was another thing that wasn't surprising to Daisuke. But he just couldn't place the other looks; maybe it was due to the hole that had been Krad.
They reached the fountain as the sun was starting to set. Daisuke began to pull out his notebook to jot down some sketches just as the air rippled with powerful magic.
"Did you feel that?" Daisuke asked turning to Satoshi, he was worried, he hadn't felt that kind of magic in a long time, it was strange and unnerving at the same time.
"Something's wrong." Satoshi's face had taken on that hard look that he'd had when Krad was still around. "This kind of magic shouldn't be around anymore, not while Krad and Dark are still sealed."
The wind picked up and started blowing ferociously as lightning snapped through the sky. The sun was clouded over with dark storm clouds, and the air was crackling with electricity. Satoshi and Daisuke both looked at each other with matching looks of worry and confusion on their faces.
"What is this?" Daisuke wondered.
"I don't know I haven't felt magic this powerful since…" Satoshi was cut off as a clap of thunder smashed through the air.
A thought suddenly hit Daisuke, "Satoshi wasn't your dad suppose to be overseeing the retrieval of the Black Wings?" he yelled over the wind, what if Kei had somehow tapped into the power of the Black Wings and was causing this?
Satoshi opened his mouth to reply but two bright lights shot out of the air before he could get anything out. The lights angled in towards them changing from just pure light to a golden white light and a dark one. They angled for the two boys with the light one hitting Satoshi and the darker one Daisuke.
Daisuke looked around at the empty dark space suddenly surrounding him, "Where am I?" he asked this place was so familiar but he couldn't place it.
"You're within yourself, Daisuke." Dark was walking over to him.
"Dark!" Daisuke said surprised as joy swept over his face, "What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be sealed in the Black Wings?" he asked confused, could this really be happening? Why was Dark back?
"I was but something happened to the Black Wings, I think they were destroyed." Dark answered evenly. He didn't seem worried to Daisuke, but Dark rarely let him know when he was worried. The angel had always tried to stay upbeat around Daisuke, which made it hard for him to figure out what he was thinking.
"So what does that mean?" Daisuke asked.
"That means I'm stuck with you." Dark told him with a smirk.
As the full force of realization hit him Daisuke the joy of their reunion evaporated with sudden worry for Satoshi. He looked at Dark worriedly, "But what about Satoshi? If your back does that mean-"
"Yes, that means Krad's back too." Dark's face was grim this time, and Daisuke had no trouble figuring out what Dark was thinking, that Krad being back wasn't good news at all.
A pang of remorse flowed through Daisuke, his joy was his friend's trouble. He hoped that maybe just maybe the other angel would have been lost with the painting.
Satoshi looked around at the empty white space and called out, "Come out Krad! I want to know what's going on!"
Krad appeared in front of him, "Is that anyway to talk to a long lost friend?" he asked.
"You my friend? You never even cared for me." Satoshi snapped, he couldn't believe they were already at this again it hadn't been even a minute and Krad was already starting to piss him off.
"That hurts Master Satoshi." Krad said looking hurt "I've told you before you are my everything." He purred.
"Enough, just tell me what's going on." Satoshi snapped, this was beyond frustrating, just when he'd started to get use to not having the angel around, here he was back again.
Krad chuckled, "Something seems to have happened while your father was removing the painting causing Dark and I to be released." Krad answered, "To put it simply Master Satoshi, were going to be spending a lot more time together."
