Notes:

I'm sorry if you don't believe that this is good. It's my first fan fiction so give me some leeway there! Please no flaming. I don't mind, no I would really appreciate, constructive criticism, but don't flame me if you don't like the pairings. Just keep those thoughts to yourself please.

I know I had this story on FanFic a while ago, but I recently re-read it, and decided to change it.

Sorry to all those people who wanted the M rated version. I changed my mind and, seeing as I'm only 14, felt uncomfortable writing about sex and stuff.

Disclaimer: ((AN: I'm only doing this as I don't particularly see the point, being FanFic)) I do not own D.N.Angel or any of its characters, I just re-write things in AU style, to my liking. ((AN: Geez, surely you know this))

This is a slash/yaoi FanFic, so if you're a homophobe, or are just generally freaked by boy-on-boy, then I suggest you don't read this.

I'm sorry if you don't agree with some of the pairings, but I like them, so it's the way that I write.

Red fire

'Niwa!'

A red-haired teen turned around to see who was speaking.

His name was Daisuke Niwa and he held an unbelievable secret. On his 14th birthday he had turned into a legendary thief; Dark Mousy, or Phantom Dark. It had been 40 years since the world had seen the legend, but he hadn't aged and was just as cunning as before.

For centuries the males of the Niwa family had all turned into this legendary thief, stealing artworks that possessed terrible powers. Only a couple of months before, Daisuke Niwa and Dark Mousy had become separate people. Tragically, one week after the separation, Dark had been killed on one of his escapades.

Daisuke was now left to deal with his problems on his own.

The speaker was Riku Harada.

For a year, even when Daisuke and Dark were one, she had been going out with the red-haired boy. She had just come from hockey practice but Riku's short, brown hair was still miraculously tidy and no pins had fallen out. Her loose cotton shirt still clung to her body from her exertions but, none the less, she ran to embrace Daisuke.

'I've told you not to call me that, Miss Harada. My name's Daisuke, not Niwa!'

Riku laughed and her hair clung to her face from the wind.

'Just teasing. As long as you call me Riku, I'll call you Dai!'

'Dai? You've never called me that before…'

Daisuke's childish face wrinkled in concentration as he thought about the name.

'You're almost 17 now, don't you think it's time for a change…'

To prove her point, Riku leaned in and held Daisuke's lips to her own.

It was a gentle kiss, but left its impression. For a few minutes, the startled teen could only stare and hold his lips. Even though he and Riku had shared many kisses, that was the most felt of all. It was as if an essence of her love had come through to him.

'I…um…if you say so. You know I'll do anything for you'

Finally over his awkward moment, the red-haired boy reached down and held Riku's body to him.

'At it again I see?'

The speaker looked almost identical to Riku, with the same colour hair and face. The girl was Risa Harada, Riku's younger sister.

Before Riku, Daisuke had been in love with the girl, but that was before Dark came out.

When Dark appeared he wooed Risa onto dates and special encounters, until their romance had almost reached an embarrassing stage. From then on Daisuke had forced his attention away from the pretty girl.

After Dark's death Risa had replaced her pink hair-ribbon with a black one, and the colour had been drained from her cheeks. For days she hadn't spoken, and only made a sound when she was crying in her bed.

Risa had gone past this stage, but the colour still hadn't returned to her cheeks and she stilled cried into her pillow at night.

'Don't you two ever get sick of each other? Wherever I go you're hand-in-hand'

Even though Risa had appeared, Riku and Daisuke stayed with their bodies pressed together. It felt too good to let each other go.

'Says the girl who talked about "Dark this" and "Dark that" every night. If I hadn't walking in on you two you would of surrendered your virginity to him. Thief of the night and young girl's virginity. Oh…sorry…'

Riku felt a flush come to her cheeks as she realised what she had been saying. In response her twin had turned away but she could still see the tears on Risa's cheeks.

'I'm so sorry Risa. I didn't mean…'

'I know. It's okay.'

Daisuke made a strained attempt to break the awkward silence.

'Hiwatari's coming back tomorrow. Are you going to be at school to greet him?'

Deep inside the teen wondered whether Krad had separated from Satoshi as Dark had separated from him…


I'm in the process of re-writing, and going over the next chapter, so it should be up really soon.
I hope it's not too much of a cliffhanger…confused
Doesn't seem too bad to me.
