Haunted
I got the idea of writting a DNAngel fic while listening to this song.

Risa looks at a CD Niwa gave to Riku. "Poe: Haunted…." She puts it into her stereo. The strange beat comes out of the speakers.
"Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa..."
Risa stares at the album cover. This isn't what Riku listens to, is it?
"Come here
Pretty please
Can you tell me where I am
You won't you say something
I need to get my bearings
I'm lost
And the shadows keep on changing"
She sits on her bed. She runs her fingers through her hair, and gives a sigh.
"And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated
I'm haunted
By the lives that wove the web
Inside my haunted head"
She ends up at the edge of a heavily wooded area. Where am I? How did I get here?
"Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa..."
She begins to wander around. The deeper she goes in, the darker and creepier the forest looks. Risa looks over her shoulder. Why do I have the feeling that I'm being followed? Her pace quickens to a sprint.
"Don't cry,
There's always a way
Here in November in this house of leaves
We'll pray
Please, I know it's hard to believe
To see a perfect forest
Through so many splintered trees
You and me
And these shadows keep on changing"
She goes into a dead run. She hears something behind her, just don't know what, and she doesn't want to find out, either.
"And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated
I'm haunted
By the promises I've made
And others I have broken
I'm haunted
By the lives that wove the web
Inside my haunted head"
She runs onto a porch of a very old house. She enters sheepishly.
"Hallways... always"
She roams aimlessly around the house, which looks eerily similar to her home.
"I'll always want you
I'll always need you
I'll always love you"
She finds her way in a room. The walls are water stained, and the wallpaper's peeling off the walls. She sees someone in one of the armchairs. "Mr. Dark!" She rushes over to him.
"Risa, go!" She stops dead in her tracks.
"Mr. Dark…."
"I don't love you, Risa! Now go home, and leave me be!" Tears form in her eyes.
"I… I can't, Mr. Dark. I… I… lo… I love you…. I love you, Mr. Dark!"
"And I will always miss you"
He glances at the fire place.
"Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa..."
Risa falls to her knees. Why… why doesn't he answer? Why doesn't he tell me whether he loves me or not?
"Come here
No I won't say please
One more look at the ghost
Before I'm gonna make it leave
Come here
I've got the pieces here
Time to gather up the splinters
Build a casket for my tears"
After a few minutes of silence, something snaps in her brain. "Get over her, Dark! She did love you, but she wasn't willing to give everything up for you!" She kneels besides him. "Unlike me; I'm willing to do anything, and everything, for you."
"I'm haunted
(By the lives that I have loved)
I'm haun
I'm haunted
By the hallways in this tiny room
The echoes there of me and you
The voices that are carrying this tune"
She takes his hand. " Now lets go." She helps him up, and leads him out of the room.
"Risa? I have to tell you something."
"What is it?" She looks into his eyes.
"I…."
"Ba da pa pa..."
Risa jolts up. She's slept the day away. "It… it was just a dream." She brings her knees up to her chest, and weeps quietly to herself.
