A note from ME! This is my first DNAngel fanfic, so PLEASE BE NICE! I haven't watched the last three episodes, because I want to finish watching the Japanese version first, and I can't find any past 23, (Well, at least, not subbed.)
This is basically how I would imagine a day with Dark, without having to steal anything, would be like. You see,
By the way, when Daisuke and Dark are talking to each other in their head, Dark is in bold, and Daisuke is in Italics. Oh, and my thoughts are underlined.
Oh, and DNAngel doesn't belong to me. Thought you should know. .
A Day with Dark
Chapter 1
Daisuke's day
Daisuke stretched his arms, and looked in the mirror.
Please, just promise me you won't but in today? He implored his 'Sexy alter-ego' (Yeah, I know, a load of people are gonna be saying: "OMG! You stole from LittleKuriboh!" So sue me! Yeah, I adore LittleKuriboh's work as much as the next person, but I doubt he's gonna care that I borrow three words. Besides, isn't that a compliment to him? It's basically saying, "I love your work so much, I wish I thought of it!" Basically, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT THREE WORDS ARE SO DAMN IMPORTANT! clears throat that is all.)
Dark sighed. You know, a real man wouldn't beg. But, since you asked so nicely…
He paused, and grinned. However, if I think you're gonna screw things up… His grin turned surprisingly evil. I'll be in, quick as a flash.
Daisuke groaned, but nodded. He looked across at his Calendar, and tried to figure out what was so important about today… There was defiantly something, otherwise why would he have circled it…?
Dar read his thoughts – Literally.
You have an exam today. He said, studying his fingernails.
"WHAT!" Daisuke's screams echoed through the house. His Grandfather shuddered awake, falling off the couch. Towa tripped over the hover she was using to clean the (Wooden) floor, and his mum dropped the many (china) plates she was carrying to the kitchen. His Dad calmly turned a page in the newspaper, and continued to read.
"I wondered when he would remember…"
Daisuke hurtled down the stairs, struggling into his jacket, and grabbing a piece of toast from the side.
"I'm late again, and on today of all day's…" He tripped halfway towards the door, landing on his face. Dark appeared next to him, sitting on thin air.
Watch the face. Whatever you do, I feel to, remember? He asked, rubbing his own cheek.
Oh, shut up. Daisuke groaned.
So, you're late, AGAIN, you've got a test today, and I'm missing something… Oh yeah! You've got a date with Riku today, which you'll probably screw up on as well! He said, counting off his fingers.
It's not a date…Daisuke shot back. I'm just hanging out with a friend…
Oh, course it's not. Tell me, do you take all your friends to the movies, then to Pizza Hut?
No, it's just…
Oh, so you just do that to the really special friends…
Yes… No… oh, leave me alone, Dark! Dark chuckled again, but obliged, disappearing. Of course, Daisuke was the only one who could see him anyway, but oh well.
Daisuke's Grandfather stood up, and walked to him.
"A test, eh?" He asked. Daisuke nodded glumly.
"And it's Maths, which is my worst subject, and I haven't even revised!" He wailed. His Grandfather smiled knowingly.
"Well, why don't you ask Dark to help you? He's been around 400 odd years…" Daisuke sat there, looking at him. Then, his face burst out into a happy smile.
"Thanks, Grandpa!" He yelled, racing out the house and down the street.
Daisuke waited until he was on the train before he asked.
So? Will you? He asked. Dark's image appeared next to him, leaning back on the seat with his legs crossed. Daisuke tried not to look at him. He didn't want people to think he thought there was something there, or anything.
Will I what? Dark asked, faking oblivious.
You know! Will you help me with the Test? Daisuke asked. Dark shrugged.
Yeah, alright. On one condition. Daisuke nodded eagerly, getting several wary stares from the people around him.
This Saturday, I get the whole day free. I'm allowed to do what I like, without you switching over, or stopping me. Daisuke didn't like it, but he certainly didn't want to fail the test.
Yeah, fine.
Daisuke sat down at his desk, and sighed. His mind was currently free of Darks annoying cutting-in (HEY!) and he was pretty relived about the Test. He had finally stopped thinking about Risa, who would never accept him, and now, he had Riku…
His peaceful moment was interrupted by Shikaru (Is it Shikaru? The Reporter guy? Yeah. From now on, He's: "Obsessive Reporter Guy).
"Hey, Daisuke! Did you hear about yesterday? Dark made off with yet another Artefact! He got into a high-security vault and everything!"
Huh, easy. They didn't even have lasers. And do they honestly think Dogs will be able to stop me? I can FLY for goodness sakes! Train giant, man-eating birds. They might be a bit of a challenge…
You know, it's really hard to listen to you, AND talk to my friends.
"No way! High security?" He said, faking amazement. Obsessive Reporter Guy wandered off to find someone else to tell this amazing news, and was replaced by Riku.
I'll leave you to talk with your… friend.
Shut up.
"Daisuke, are we still going tonight?"
"Um, yeah!"
Riku sighed, and smiled.
"We've got the test today. I'm really nervous. What about you?"
"Yeah, I'm nervous to." Daisuke lied.
You are? Have you no faith in me?
I'm just saying it so I seem natural. Maths is my worse subject ever! It's like…
It's like Krad to me.
Yeah, basically!
Ah… you know, you could just Revise…
When? I'm out upholding your reputation by being you every night!
Good point.
"Daisuke?"
"Yeah?"
"You kind of… spaced out…" Riku said, looking anxious.
You know, I kind of see why you like her now. Very cute. And brilliant Front. The Back isn't so bad either…
Shut up…
"I'm fine. I'm just… Really nervous about the Test…"
"Oh yeah, Maths is your worst subject…" Riku considered it for a moment.
"How about private tuition?" She asked.
"Huh? Who from?"
Riku actually blushed. "Well, maybe I could… come round to you house once a week, and go over your weak points with you… if you want to…"
Now it was Daisuke's turn to blush. "Um… yeah… I'd like that…"
Riku brightened. "Great! Is this Saturday okay?"
"Um…
yeah, sure!"
Wait a second,
Daisuke…
"So, when should I come over?"
Daisuke…
"Um, is 9 pm okay for you?
Daisuke, I thought-
"Yeah, that's great! See you later!"
"Yeah, after the test!"
DAISUKE!
What!?
What happened to our deal?
…
Daisuke?
Whoops…
You forgot, didn't you?
Sorry… But, if you can make it back by 9, it should be okay!
Sigh Fine. But you owe me. I'm only doing this so you can be with your girlfriend.
I told you, she's not my girlfriend!
She's a girl isn't she? And she's your friend. So, that makes her your Girlfriend. Besides, there's no point trying to hide it from me. You know that I know how you really feel about her, and that, right now, as your staring at her, you feel yourself starting to change…
Holy crap, your right!
Daisuke raced out the room, and into an empty classroom.
"Hah. Told you." Dark muttered.
Shut up. We need to change back.
"Well,
do you have the picture on you?"
Um…
no.
"WHAT!"
People would think it's weird if I carried it around, and someone found it!
Dark sighed, and heard the door opened. He turned, to see Riku standing in the doorway.
"Um, sorry. I thought Daisuke came in… Wait a minute… Dark?"
Ah…
"Dark, what the hell are you doing in her? You don't even go to this school!"
"Ah, well…"
"Well what?"
I think that's enough to help you change, don't you?
Oh great… We can't change in front of Riku!
Suddenly, Dark buckled under the familiar pain of changing back into Daisuke.
Too late!
"Dark? Are you okay?" Riku walked forward, and gripped his shoulders.
"I should get some help…"
"NO! Riku, wait!" Dark gasped. Riku turned.
"This is normal… don't wor-" He gasped in pain, as he felt himself grow shorter, his hair and eye colour change, and suddenly…
Daisuke stood in front of Riku, who gasped and took a step back.
"What… How… DAISUKE!" She suddenly screamed. Daisuke clamped his hand over her mouth, unconsciously pulling her closer.
"Please, be quiet! I'll tell you what's happening in a minute… We just need to make sure no-one hears…"
No, you just want to be alone with Riku!
"Shut up…" Daisuke realised he had said that out loud when Riku looked at him as if he was crazy.
"Not you! It's just…" He suddenly realised how close they were to each other. He could actually feel her heartbeat…
Daisuke! You need to stop changing into me at every single thing!
Sorry!
"Da- DARK!?"
Dark sighed. This was gonna be a long day. He grabbed Riku's hand, and ran, dragging her through the corridors.
"Let Go! Dark, what's happening? Where's Daisuke? DAISUKE!"
"Oh, shut up! I'll explain everything as soon as we can't be heard…" He ducked behind a corner, dragging Riku with him.
"Shit! Hiwatari…"
"What's
so bad about him? He's Daisuke's friend…"
"And he's
the Man in charge of arresting me! As well as being Krad's host…"
"Krad?"
"Later. I'll explain everything later."
Finally, they reached the roof.
"Right. Now, what the Hell is happening? Why are you here? Where's Daisuke? Who's Krad? What do you mean, Hiwatari is trying to arrest you? When…"
"Alright, alright! I can only answer one question at a time!" Dark cut in.
"Daisuke is still here, deep in my mind. Well, our mind…"
"What do you mean OUR mind?"
"Me and Daisuke are one person… It's complicated. We can change into each other, but only with a trigger."
"What's the trigger?"
"You."
"ME!?
I don't understand…"
"The trigger is you. The whole thing is affected by Daisuke's Love genes. He loves you, so… You have the power to change him."
"You mean… If it wasn't for me…"
"Daisuke wouldn't be able to change. He'd be a normal kid… Apart from having to listen to me all the time."
And you don't know HOW annoying that is.
"Oh yes, I do. I have to listen to you to." He knew he said it out loud, but didn't care. Riku's eyes widened.
"You mean… He's talking to you right now?"
She has amazing eyes… Doesn't she have amazing eyes?
"Yes. Like, right now, he's saying that you have 'amazing eyes'."
Riku blushed.
She does as well…
"So… You're Daisuke?"
Before Dark could answer a great beam of light shot towards him.
"With!" With shot down, turning into Dark's black wings. Dark scooped Riku up, and flew up.
"What was that?" Riku asked, her voice rising in fear.
"I don't know…"
That looked like…But it can't be… can it? It was sealed!
I know. That looked like the unicorn…
Dark dodged out of the light's way again.
"I'm gonna set you down. Don't do anything stupid!"
"Oi! At least Daisuke isn't rude like you!"
"Yeah, but he doesn't have my good looks!" He set her on the roof, and flew up again.
Dark! Look out!
Too late. The light hit him, sending him spinning through the air. He felt himself change.
Sorry, little bud… I can't carry on for the moment…
Daisuke ducked and dodged, looping the loop, trying his hardest to keep out of the lights way…
Dark! What do I do?
Keep it distracted, we should be able to change back soon…
Daisuke tried, but he couldn't help but notice the growing crowd beneath him. Most of them from his class… Obsessive reporter guy had his camera out, and was filming him.
If they see me in this form…
He swooped downwards to avoid the light again, pulling out at the last second to dash through the crowd…
"'Scuse me, coming through, watch out, sorry…"
Don't apologise! You're meant to be me!
They could see my face! And besides, Obsessive reporter guy is filming me!
Alright, we're gonna change… NOW!
Dark swooped low (Again) and flew circles around the light. He had noticed that the light only went in a perfectly straight line in one direction. Maybe…
The light tried to bend, and snapped.
YES! I thought so!
What is it?
It's basically a cheap copy. Krad must be making it…
He looked down, and, sure enough, Hiwatari was nowhere to be seen.
So, if we're quick enough… we'll be able to stop it?
Exactly! Krad's Magic has been diluted because of his family breeding, spreading the bloodline thinner and thinner… Time was, he could make a copy better then the original!
DARK! It's going towards the roof!
Yeah, so?
Riku!
Dark looked down. Riku was standing on the roof, watching him. She was completely unaware of the silver light heading towards her. With a strangled cry of desperation, Dark plummeted towards the roof, scooped Riku up bridal style, and swung up, clutching her close to his chest. He headed upwards as fast as he could go, and then turned over, heading towards the ground. Once again, the light tried to follow him, and once again, it snapped, the lower half disappearing. He landed softly on the ground, and was swamped.
"Riku,
are you alright?"
"It's Dark!"
"Weird, I thought I saw Daisuke…"
"It's Really Dark!"
"What is that thing?"
"Can you believe it's Actually Dark?"
"Can we
help?"
"At our school!"
"I got the whole thing on camera!"
annoying fan girl screaming "Dark" swoons.
Dark looked around, trying to make sense of the noise. Then, he lost it.
"ALRIGHT! EVERYONE SHUT UP AND PAY ATTENTION!" He yelled. Everyone was instantly quiet. Gently, he put Riku down. She stepped back, and looked up at him.
"Right. Riku, get everyone inside. I can't risk anyone getting hurt."
"But-"
"Riku. Please." He turned.
"Risa?" Risa stepped forwards.
"Yes?"
"I need you to get me a few things…"
As he talked to Risa, everyone else spoke to each other in not-so-quiet tones.
"I can't believe it!"
"He knows the Harada Twins!"
"They're SO lucky!"
"Hey, where's Daisuke?" Obsessive Reporter Guy Asked, looking around.
"I don't know."
"Haven't seen him since he came in."
"I hope he's alright…"
"Sure he will be! He may look like a wimp, but Daisuke can look after himself!"
Suddenly, Dark shot up in the air, and Risa rushed in, while Riku gathered everyone up, trying to get them back inside. That plan was foiled, however, when the light bounced off the school, causing tons of bricks to fall down, blocking the Doors.
"DARK! I can't get them in! The Doors blocked!"
Either he didn't hear her, or he was ignoring her, because Dark didn't turn. Riku suspected it was the latter.
Dark swooped around the light, trying to confuse it. It was only when Risa rushed out onto the roof, holding a large mirror, that he stopped moving. Turning, he pulled out a single, Black feather, which glowed. He muttered a view words, and watched as the mirror glowed as well, then settle into a plain, black surface. He was about to continue with his plan, when the light hit him full on in the back. He felt himself falling, and heard Riku scream.
"DAISUKE!"
A note from ME! Okay, this started out as just a one-shot, but I enjoy writing this story too much. I never meant for Riku to find out that Daisuke was Dark, it just happened. This was meant to just be about Daisuke's day, but that was kind of ruined by the whole 'imitation of the unicorn' idea.
Whoops!
Please review! Like all story-writers, good and bad, I love hearing people's comments! .
