The Golden Touch by Soulbird
A/N: So, I've changed my pen name, and this time, I'm sticking to it. Soulbird, it just seems more me, than 'she is love'. This is first D.N.Angel fanfiction, please treat it kindly. Trey is one of the Niwa's who had a merry life with Dark before Daisuke. I made him up, so no; he's not in the actual story. I figured this is about two heritages before Daisuke, so its set a little while back, I don't mean when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Though it would be fun to test my sleeping Dark theory with my pterodactyl theory. Yay! I spelt pterodactyl correct! Anyway, I realise I've been starting quite a few new stories, but don't worry, I won't forget about them, so this is The Golden Touch.
Disclaimer: I do not own D.N.Angel or any of its elements, Trey, Hokuto and Serenity, however, all belong to me.
Chapter 1 – The Boy, The Thief and The SeraphTrey Niwa sighed, and pushed a lock of brown hair behind his ear, Wiz eagerly tugged on his sleeve and made small pleading noises.
"I can't play, Wiz," Trey said, "I have to get ready for school,"
Wiz slumped down on Trey's pillow, with a discontented expression.
Trey pulled his tie up to his collar and stroked Wiz on the forehead,
"We'll play later, I promise," he smiled, before grabbing his bag and heading out the door.
It had been two weeks since Trey's fourteenth birthday, and two weeks since he found about his 'circumstances'. The truth was, Trey shared D.N.A with the renowned phantom thief, Dark. Trey, had inherited the identity of Dark, and like his grandfather before him, had to take on Dark's form to steal sculptures, paintings and artwork.
Trey transformed into Dark when he thought about her, if he thought about his feelings for her, Dark would take over, and when Dark thought about the girl he liked, it would do the same to Trey.
Trey closed the garden gate. Luckily, Trey went to an all boys school, she would not be there, but still, he happened to run into her every morning.
"Trey!"
This is not good. He thought
Trey felt his face instantly heat up.
"Hi Hokuto!" he said, without turning to face her.
"What's up, Trey? Why aren't you turning round?" she asked.
Trey breathed in slowly before turning to face her.
She smiled, flicking back her sleek blonde hair, her eyebrows narrowed at his flushed face.
"Are you okay? You look all flushed," she grew closer, "Are you sick?" she asked faintly, placing her smooth, cool hand on his forehead.
This is bad. This is really, really bad. I'm going to transform! I just know it.
He thought, biting his lip in dread.
"Maybe you should take a day off school," she said, waving as she turned in the opposite direction.
Trey sighed heavily with relief.
That was close he thought, maybe I should leave the house earlier to avoid running into her. But her hand was on my face and it felt so cool and soft-
Trey shook his head in aggravation. Living next door to the girl of his dreams would be a great thing for any regular guy, but with Trey, it was just another worry added to the pile.
"Ah… You meet again. I must say, Trey, you're not doing to well with shielding your emotions," came Dark's voice from within Trey.
"Shut up!" Trey growled, slinging his bag over his shoulder.
"Now, now, what's with the attitude? I'm only offering guidance," said Dark casually.
"Yeah? Well, I'm late for school." Trey said, half to himself and half to Dark.
"Well, If you hadn't spent time rendezvousing with your sweetheart, you wouldn't be in this situation." Said Dark, Trey could almost picture the sneaky smile on his face. Trey eventually decided it would be best to ignore Dark, that way, Dark would either go back to sleep, or eventually get bored of muttering smart comments in Trey's ear.
It was half-way through maths that Trey realised his plan wasn't going to work.
"Come now, Trey, you can't ignore me forever." Dark said, half-mockingly.
Trey stayed silent.
"I can just go on," Dark started.
Trey flinched, he knew what was probably coming next.
"And on,"
"And on,"
"And on,"
"And on,"
"And on,"
"And o-"
"Shut up!"
The capped heads of the students eagerly turned round and stared at Trey in surprise. Some began to snicker under their breath, some looked confused, the teacher raised an eyebrow.
"What did you say?" she roared.
"I, I mean, I didn't mean it at yo-" Trey began, clumsily.
"Mr Niwa, get to the front this instant!" she yelled, her face glowing scarlet.
Trey walked slowly to the front of the class.
"Now. I would like to know exactly what you told me to do." She said, in a fake syrup-doused voice.
"I wasn't talking to you." Trey said.
"Oh. Oh really? Then whom might I ask you were telling to be quiet in a room where I am the only one speaking?" she said, lowering her face on level with his.
"I, er, um, I," he started, stammering.
Trey was interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Come in!" the teacher barked.
A small boy entered, carrying a small piece of paper in his hands.
"The head teacher would like to see, um," he paused, looking at the paper, "Trey Niwa," he read awkwardly.
Trey breathed in, deeply relieved.
"Very well," the teacher snapped, pushing Trey to the side and continuing the lesson.
Trey walked along to the head teacher's office. His father sat in the chair opposite the head teacher.
"Trey, your father is here to escort you out of school." He said.
"Dad! Is something wrong?" Trey asked, nervously.
"Just come with me Trey," his father said, standing, Trey followed him, they reached the school gates in silence.
"What's wrong?" Trey asked.
"Nothing, it's just. Tonight is your first assignment!" said Trey's father, his face lighting up in excitement.
Trey's face dropped.
"Tonight, you'll be stealing 'The Silver Diamond Cradle Statue'" Trey's father said, bundling Trey into their small run-down car.
"And you took me out of school, because…?" Trey asked.
"To prepare, of course!" was the reply.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Are you ready?" Trey's father asked.
"I- I think so," Trey said, nervously.
"Right then, clear your mind. Think only of Hokuto," said Trey's father said.
Trey did as requested,
"Now imagine she's holding your hand in hers," He began
"Dad!" Trey objected.
"No. Clear your mind. Just think of her. Think of being with her." His father said.
Trey slowly let Dark take control of his body. The metamorphosis was simple enough. It didn't hurt, it was more of a slide, it was as if merging with the light.
Trey looked down at his hands. They weren't his hands, he was sure about that, he looked into the wall-mirror.
Yes. He was truly Dark. His face structure had changed, he was almost paler, and his hair flushed a deep shade of violet.
"There! You've done it," said Trey's father.
"How do I change back?" Trey asked.
"The same way you changed this way," Trey's father explained, "When Dark sees his object of desire,"
"And we'll see her?" asked Trey.
"Oh, you'll see her, I've got a feeling you will, now, you have to go, take Wiz. He'll be your wings." Said Trey's father, handing Wiz to Trey.
Trey placed his hand delicately on Wiz's head, elegant black-feathered wings unfolded onto Trey's back.
"Mind if I cut in?" asked Dark, fully taking over Trey.
"Hey! I wanted to fly!" Trey moaned.
"You do, its just, well, I'm in charge now," Dark smirked, before flying into the night.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Although the museum was warned of the theft occurring that night, it wasn't too heavily guarded.
Dark smiled. "This should be easy," he said in a whisper.
"Hey!" came Trey's voice from inside Dark, "I hope that you don't get caught! You can't just rush into it!"
"Easy, easy, I'm a professional, just sit back, and learn from the master." Dark said, swooping downwards and behind the fountain.
Flying round the back of the building, Dark stood beside a window, he quickly slid it open, the room was empty, the security was guarding the front entrance.
Walking up to the cradle statue he smiled.
"That was too easy" he said under his breath.
"That's why it's not that easy." Came a voice from behind them.
"Bet you thought it would be Krad, right? Wrong, I'm on patrol tonight." A woman stepped from beneath the shadows, she wore a long white robe and had large golden feathered wings, her fair curls hung delicately round her shoulders.
Dark was immediately taken aback. He quickly grabbed the statue and made a run for it, it wasn't long after he'd been running before Trey realised he'd transformed back again.
The security looked at Trey, before aiming their rifles,
"Fly, Trey! Fly!" Dark shouted from inside Trey.
Trey immediately took flight, and flew off into the distance.
"Why am I me?" Trey asked, irritated.
"That was… that was Serenity." Came Dark's meek reply.
"Ohhhh…" smirked Trey.
"She's a Seraph," explained Dark.
"What's a seraph?" asked Trey, confused.
"A seraph is an archangel." Said Dark.
"And you like her?" asked Trey.
"Yes." Replied Dark.
"But she's out to stop you?" Trey pointed out.
"Yes. She's from the same family as Krad." Said Dark.
Trey nodded, before landing on the ground of his home, he walked through the front door, closing it carefully behind him.
He handed his father the Cradle Statue, "Here." He said indifferently.
"You did it! Well done! I knew you had it in you!" his father said, pulling him close into a hug.
"So, did you see Serenity?" asked Trey's father.
"Yes. She's the one Dark likes." Said Trey, pulling off his black gloves.
"She's beautiful, right?" smiled Trey's father.
"From the same family as Krad." Trey said, pointing out he already knew the facts.
"Speaking of which, we should try to find out who Krad's secret identity is." Said Trey's father.
"I've never seen him, Serenity said she was on patrol tonight." Trey pointed out.
"Yeah, but Krad will be on your case soon, and when he finds out that you are Dark's secret identity, he won't leave you alone," said Trey's father.
"And if I find out who Krad is, I can find out Serenity's secret identity as well," said Trey, the pieces falling together.
Trey's father nodded his head.
"Well, your father had the same genetic 'situation' didn't he find out the family name?" Trey asked.
"Yes. The family name was Hikari." Said Trey's father.
Trey stopped dead in his tracks.
"Hikari? But- But Hikari is Hokuto's family name!"
