Full Summery: Riku and Risa are kidnapped by Krad. When Daisuke has problems with transforming his dad gives him a ring that is supposed to help. When he finally meets Krad face to face he must chose: Riku or Risa… when he goes to save the one he has chosen the ring finally starts to work, but not in the way he thought!
Don't own D.N.Angel…. Crap…

"RISA!!"
Risa peeked her head into her sisters room to see Riku on the floor facing out the window.
"R-Riku?…" Risa asked nervously.
"Run-" That was all she heard before she too fell to the floor.
"Ri-ku…." All she saw before she passed out was pure white wings spread, blond hair flowing gracefully around a pale face.
--
I don't remember why I called my little sister into the room…
I should have just stayed quite like I was told…
But it was too late… I had called her anyway…
My poor sister, I never meant to drag her into this…
I really didn't…
But it's okay. Dark will come and rescue her like he always does…
He'll come and take her away, out of this dark, damp place…
That was all I could think as I watched her sleep… I wrapped my arms around her tighter.
"It's okay Risa. D-don't cry, he's going to come for you. He's going to pick you up, out of my arms and into his. Th-then he's going to fly you out of h-here. Okay?" I held back the tears I knew were coming.
"He's… He's going to come, I know it! He always d-does! But…" My shoulders shook violently with the held back sobs. "but who's going to save me? Who's going to come and embrace me into their warm arms? Your so lucky Risa. And once your safe, I can finally quit…"
"Riku," The voice was sudden and I jumped slightly. "it's time."
I just held my sister closer to my chest as Krad picked us both up and to the death I knew was awaiting me, and only me. Why only me you ask? Because…
Because Dark was going to come save my little sister like he always did.
Like he always did…
This was most likely the last time I would get to see my little sister.
--
Daisuke flew as fast as the substitute wings would take him. Since Dark wasn't helping he would save them himself. But it wasn't like Dark could help it… He can't help him when he transforms out of anger, or negative feelings.
He was getting closer now.
--
"KRAAAD!!"
"Hello, Daisuke. How are you tonight?"
"Where are they!!" He had come all the way out to sea like the letter told him.
"Oh. I thought you'd have figured it out by now. I mean, come on. I don't see them… Above the water that is…"
Daisuke looked down and there they were. They seemed to be in a bubble of some sort. But they were all right. Quite a ways down in the water…
"Now, Daisuke Niwa. You must choose."
"Choose?" He asked carefully.
"Yes. Which one is more important to you? You can only have one of them." Daisuke's eyes went wide at that.
"One!! What do you mean?!"
"The bubbles that their in will only last for 40 more seconds."
With no more words said he dove. When he got to level with them he looked upon the one he was going to save.
"RI--"
--
The bubble was slowly fading. Most of the bottom was gone, she was having to kick her feet just to stay in it.
Riku looked over at Risa's bubble, hers seemed to be holding together. She seemed to still be sleeping.
She looked up and saw instead of one figure, found two. "Dark!! Down here!! Come!! Save Risa!!"
She saw the figure looked around. They seemed to be talking. "YOU IDIOT!! You pervert! Come and save her!!" She franticly looked over the Risa's bubble.
"NOO!! You stupid bubble! Stay together!" Risa's bubble was fading. Slower then her own, but still fading. She looked up again and saw the 2nd figure looking right back at her.
The next thing she knew he was diving into the water and next to her. All she could do was sigh as she looked upon the figures back…
--
"RISA!" I swam over to her, using my wings to speed up. When I reached her I plucked a feather and placed it next to the bubble when the ring started to light up. I could hear Dark.
'Riku!! Save Riku!!'
'But I can only save one! And I choose Risa!!'
'So your going to leave your own girlfriend behind! To let her die!'
'Call it what you will… But I can't live with myself if I were to let any harm come to Risa!'
'DISUKE!!'
The ring my dad had given me seemed to glow brighter, the metal seemed to heat up, though I was in freezing cold water.
Darks voice once more sounded though my head. The ring shattered. Out of it a black substance shot out and behind me.
"RIKUUU!" That was Darks voice but it wasn't in my head. Looking back I saw black wings. Having no more time to waste I grabbed the feather and headed for the surface bringing the bubble with me.
--
"M-my fee-t are get-ting number…" She looked on as the figure swam to Risa. 'Wait… Those wings aren't black.. Their red…' She tried to thing of someone who matched that shade of red…
'That's Daisuke!? I knew it! I was right, hehe. Daisuke is Dark…' She couldn't feel her feet anymore and the bubble was more than half way gone. She closed her eyes and leaned her forehead against the glass like bubble. "Sigh. Risa… She's go-going to be o-okay. It might n-not be Dark who sav-es her… But Dai-Daisuke… he…"
She opened her eyes and looked down. 'Daisuke isn't going to save you… So now you have no one, huh?' The tears streamed down her checks. 'Daisuke… He still loves Risa…' She couldn't hold them back. So she convinced herself that they were out of happiness… 'Risa… My little sister is going to be okay… But I'm not… am I?'
Her legs stopped kicking. Her arms that were holding her up slipped down into the icy water that surrounded her. She looked once more to the position of her sister and boyfriend and saw the most beautiful sight she had ever seen.
Dark strong wings were moving violently behind the back Dark. His eyes were fixed on her and his arms were outstretched toward her. His dark, long hair was pulled back at the speed he was moving at in the water. His mouth was moving.
And as he said her name her head fell into the water. She sank slowly. That was when she felt warm arms wrap around her waist. She clung to the body as she felt herself being lifted upwards.
--
As we surfaced the water I looked all around me and saw Daisuke with Risa heading to land.
Krad seemed to be gone. Most likely not liking the fact that now there was two of us.
"D-Dark?" I looked down the shivering body I held close to me. "I-is Risa o-kay?"
"Yes." I held her tighter to my body and headed towards Daisuke and Risa. "Daisuke has her. She will be fine. What I'm worried about is you! You're the one who was having the most trouble! She was fine the whole time!"
"I-I'm glad…"
"What?"
"You came. Someone finally saved me. I'm happy that you came, Dark, I really am." I stopped flying and looked down at her.
"What do you mean?" She looked up at me and slid her arms around my neck placing her check against my chest.
"I'm always left b-behind… Risa is always in trouble and is always saved by someone when I have to stay at home, never knowing if she's alright or not. And when I was down there I keep thinking 'it's going to be okay, because Risa will get saved and I won't have to worry anymore.' And when I think that no one was going to save me, my legs didn't work, my arms felt weak and I couldn't stop the tears… So when you were there, and saved me… I just…" her arms tightened around me and in return I squeezed back. "Thank you Dark."
I started flying again and reached land careful setting her down. Her arms loosened around my neck but didn't let go. I let my wings go and grabbed her arms sliding them off my neck. Then through off my jacket and wrapped it around her. She looked stunning in black.
She looked up at me and my breath caught in my throat. Her short brown hair clung to her face and neck. Her tear streaked face made her look helpless, but at the same time, her eyes showed an emotion that I hadn't seen before on her face. He lips were slightly blue, but none the less kissable.
The back jacket was a few sizes to big but being wet clung to her hips like a second skin.
"I-I'm sorry that I don't have anything dry but it'll have to do…"
And then she smiled… I swear my heart skipped quite a few beats.
"It's okay, thanks you." her legs still looked weak so I put an arm around her shoulder and pulled her to my side. When she leaned in and placed on of her hands on mine, I couldn't think of anything else. It wasn't until I saw Daisuke and Risa that I really remembered what had happened.
Anger seemed to rack though my entire being. I glared at Daisuke with all I could come up with and helped Riku over to them. When we reached them Daisuke was asking Risa if she was alright.
"Risa!!" I was startled out of my glare when Riku yelled out her name.
"RIKU!" she ran towards us and Riku let go of me hugging her sister. I still held Riku up, her legs still numb and much to weak to hold herself up. "Riku! Oh Riku, I'm so glad your okay! I was so worried!"
"I'm okay, really, Dark saved me. I owe him my life."
"Aww, don't say that!" I called out to her. I looked down to the sand under my feet. "I might just hold you to that." I squeezed her tighter to my body. I was ashamed to say it, but it was true.
She just looked up at me and smiled. "I was hopping you would." She leaned back onto me and placed her hand on mine.
"Dark-san!! What are you doing here?" Risa asked.
"Saving your sister here."
"You don't have to make it sound like I'm weak!" Riku wined. With that I let go of her and she feel.
"Ahh!!" She landed on her backside and I reached my hand down to her.
"And who's the one who can't stand on her own legs?" She griped my hand and pulled. I feel down next to her. "Hey! That cheating!"
She just laughed.
We were so close I could feel her warm breath on my skin. I leaned down a bit more when Risa coughed. We both looked up to see her looking down at us. Her eyes hurt.
She turned and headed back over to Daisuke.
"Can you take me home, Daisuke-kun?"
"Umm… Ya." And they were gone.
I looked back down at Riku to find her looking back up at me.
"I hate to be a copy-cat, but, can you talk me home?"
"Sure." I stood up and bent over picking her up bridal style.
"Hey! You don't have to carry me like this you know!!"
"Ya, I know. But this way is more fun."
"Pervert…" She whispered under her breath. I laughed and brought out my wings flapping them a few times before lifting off the ground.
She leaned into me and sighed.
"I wish we could just stay like this forever. Just flying through the air like this…"
"Ya… Me two, me two…" Her body seemed to relax in my arms.
"Riku?"
"Yes?"
"You said that you owed me your life… Did you mean that?" She looked up at me.
"Yes."
"Then is it okay for me to accept your offer?"
She smiled the most beautiful smile I had ever seen.
"Yes… I would like that."
I landed on her balcony and set her down.
"Can you stand?"
"Yep!" She looked down at her feet and then back up at me. I looked back down at her.
"Can… Can I kiss you?"
"You didn't ask the first time if I'm not mistaken."
"Ehehehe… well, I am this time… Can I?"
"Yes… you can…"
I placed my hands on her shoulders and pushed off my jacket, then slid them down her arms to her waist, enjoying the shiver that ran through her at my touch, pulling her body to mine. She reached her arms up and around my neck. I leaned my head down till I was inches away from her lips, then stopped there.
She seemed to know what I wanted because she reached up on to her tip-toes and pressed her lips lightly against mine. I pressed down harder and soothed her lips open with my own. I slowly slipped my tongue into her mouth as hers shyly reached out to mine. She moaned and the vibrations were intoxicating. She tasted so good I almost melted.
I gripped her body closer to mine and started to reach my hand up her shirt when the door to her balcony opened and Risa stood there. Breaking the contact of our lips I looked at her. Her eyes already filled with tears and a look of hurt 10 times worse than at the beach staring at us.
Riku looked back at her sister.
"R-Risa, please, listen to me…" she called out when Risa fainted.
