OMFG! SOMEONE PLAGIARIZED LADY SAMURAI ON A DIFF WEBSITE! HOW DARE SHE! Well, me, Lady Samurai and Staryday have all sent her hate mail-especially me, I did most of the yelling-and we have contacted that website's Mods. So it's ok now...Thank god!

"Hey...I think I see Krad..." Dark commented as they neared the castle gates.

"Really? I thought he wasn't supposed to come back from his mission for another week." Satoshi leaned towards the older teen to try to get into the line of view. "Do you see–"

"-Daisuke? No. But I'm sure he'll get here soon." The purple haired boy gave the younger one a reassuring pat. "Unless, if you want, we could always go check out the Trans-locator map to see where he is."

"...It's ok...I'm sure Daisuke's fine."

"DARK! SATO! You guys are back!" They both looked to where the voice came from. The one yelling, Krad, was jogging up to them. Dark immediately latched onto the golden haired boy's arm, purring. "Haven't seen you guys for awhile now! This is so sweet! All of the four best Engel's are here! That's pretty rare."

"All four?" Satoshi questioned, cocking an eyebrow.

"Yea, Daisuke's with Priest Ezan-I know you're looking for him." Krad replied.

"With the High Priest, why?" Dark asked, looking up at his lover in confusion.

"To help him put the North Wind Trans-locator(1) back..." Krad replied.

"You stole it again, didn't you...?" The blue haired commander asked, already sure of the answer.

"...Yea..." The golden haired boy drawled.

"Daisuke got mad at you again?" Satoshi asked.

"...Slightly..."

"KRAD, YOU IDIOT!"

"MEEP!"

Daisuke started jogging back to the main gates after he finished helping High Priest Ezan put the Trans-locator back where it belonged. He didn't see why the High Priest needed his help...it just took a number of slightly complicated spells to put the ring back in place.

He picked up his pace when he heard a yell come from the front...it sounded like Satoshi! And he was right; he gasped happily when he spotted the blue haired boy scolding Krad for doing something.

"SATOSHI!" The younger boy cried, running faster to get to the older boy. When Satoshi turned around was like slow motion to Daisuke. It was perfect, he threw himself into the blue eyed boy's outstretched arms and they both fell to the ground.

"Daisuke!" Satoshi gasped as they both fell to the ground in an ungrateful heap. The older boy could feel Daisuke bury his head into the crook of his neck.

"You kept your promise! You didn't break it this time!" Daisuke's words were muffled, but all three of them were sure he was crying out of happiness.

"Daisuke, don't cry...you'll ruin your pretty face." Satoshi said softly, stroking the said boy's hair lovingly.

"I'm NOT crying!" Daisuke half sniveled half shouted.

"Ok, ok, you aren't crying," Satoshi chuckled.

"I think we should leave these two alone..." Dark whispered into Krad's ear, tugging on the golden haired boy's sleeve.

"Yea, you're right." Krad replied, with one swift move, he had grabbed Dark's wrist in his own hands and had pulled Dark closer until they were barely apart.

"KRAD!" Dark yelped, already certain where this was going.

"What? I thought you would want this; I know I do." The older boy purred, rubbing against the other boys' neck with his cheek. He continued by placing a soft kiss under Dark's ear, blowing on it as well. The golden haired Engel could literally feel the slightly younger boy melt into his arms with a sigh.

"GET A ROOM!" Takeshi shouted, they all turned to glare at him; he seemed to be hiding and watching in the bushes with Saga and Argentine(2). He meeped as he ducked back down, they heard a faint, "idiot!" before all was silent again.

"I think he's right. The minors might not want to see," Krad chuckled. They heard an offended, "I'M OLDER THEN DAISUKE!" From the bushes.

"No, it's ok. We shouldn't be doing 'it' anyways." Daisuke continued, getting up and dusting himself off. The three older boys moaned silently in disappointment in their heads. Krad and Satoshi had even sent death glares towards the boys hiding in the bushes. If Daisuke wasn't up for 'it' anymore, then he'd make it so the other three wouldn't really feel like it either.

"Daaaammn..."Dark sighed with longing, disappointed, "I wanted some quality time too." He hissed towards the three boys in the bushes.

Daisuke laughed, it had been pretty long since everyone seemed to be together in one place. But then...it was also strange...there had never been a time where almost everyone in the Engel society was located in once place. This could only mean one thing...but, it couldn't have been time yet, right?

Dark and Krad had started attacking the boys in the bushes for interrupting them, but even still, everyone was laughing and having fun. Daisuke had decided to stay out of it this time to think, and Satoshi, being as loyal as he is, stayed by his side.

The blue haired boy seemed to notice that something was troubling Daisuke, because he had placed a reassuring hand on the younger boy's shoulder.

Without even looking up to give the older teen a reassuring smile Daisuke had started walking off. "I have to check something with High Priest." He explained before making a mad dash towards the building.

"What's wrong with him?" Dark asked, noticing the little drama scene between the two young lovebirds.

"I don't know." Satoshi replied, a look of longing on his face.

"Ohhhhh! I KNOW! I BET THAT'S DAI-CHAN'S WAY OF DUMPING YOU!" Takeshi added. "EEP!" He received a death glare from Satoshi. "Ummmm...uh! MAYBE NOT!" The brown haired reporter made a run for it.

Daisuke arrived in front of the High Priest's room in a matter of minutes. He knocked softly just in case Priest Ezan was working.

"Come in, Daisuke." Daisuke almost jumped. It always intrigued him how the Priest knew it was him, but he never found out, even when he asked the older man. Ezan would squirm his way out of it somehow. The red head slowly pushed the door open and peered in. Ezan looked towards him over the pile of books on his desk. "Yes, Daisuke?"

"I have a question, High Priest."

"Yes?"

"I find it strange that more then half of the Engel's-and the more powerful ones-are home. May I ask why? Are you expecting something big to happen?" Ezan didn't answer, instead he stood up and grabbed a familiar thick leather clad book from behind him and placed it in front of Daisuke.

"Do you remember reading this book, Daisuke? Your father gave it to you when you were pretty young, right? He gave it to you before he died protecting this castle, am I right?"

"He..." Daisuke choked, why did Priest Ezan have to bring up his father's death? What did that have to do with anything? "He died protecting...me..."

"Yes...Your father died protecting you, Dark, Satoshi and Krad. Do you know why? I'm sure he told you."

"He said that we were the Pyre(3), the most important of all the Engels, that we couldn't die just yet."

"That is true, but there is another reason why, that he has never told you about yet. And I don't think I will just yet either. To tell you the truth, Daisuke, you know more then me right now, more then anyone in this castle and that is a very heavy burden to carry. I understand, you want to tell everyone about what you know to lighten the load, but, I need to ask you to promise to refrain from telling anyone what you know. They will not understand, not yet. Understand?"

"...Yes." Daisuke answered reluctantly. He knew it would've been what his father would've wanted anyways. Then what was this feeling of forlorn in his chest?

Satoshi had left about 5 minutes after killing Takeshi to look for Daisuke. He was sure the boy was still spewing blood in hacking coughs. The other thing he liked about hurting someone in Engel was the fear in the eyes of the less experienced members. Of course, being one of the top members had its kicks too. But at times, he hated being born into this life, this...hell. There was almost no free will at all. But Daisuke made up for it all. Daisuke, actually, was also the son of one of the best Engel hunters in history. Daisuke'sfather had been deemed High Priest at the age of 23. The youngest High Priest to ever live.

The blue haired boy was cut off from his thoughts when he spotted Daisuke leaving the High Priest's office.

"Daisuke!" He yelled, even though it wasn't necessary since no matter how loudly you talked in the halls of the castle, there would always be an echo. He could see the red head turning around when suddenly...

"DAISUKE!" A shrill voice yelled. They both twitched and turned to face the person at the same time. It was Risa Harada, Natsu level(4) and behind her followed a reluctant twin sister, Riku, also of Natsu level. Satoshi froze, maybe if he stopped breathing, Risa would be dumb enough to not spot him, but he couldn't leave Dai-chan all alone to fend for himself! God...so this was what it meant when they say 'stuck between a rock and a hard place'. OH SHIT! THE SHE-THING SPOTTED HIM! IT WAS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER!

"SATOSHI! YOU'RE BACK TOO! HOW NICE!" Risa screamed, no one had any idea how she ended up as an Engel hunter in the first place anyways. Riku, you could understand, she was athletic and smart enough to 'become' a Haru level(4) at least, but Risa...Risa...no one could explain. She was lower then Fuyu level in everyone's opinion.

"Uhh...hi, Risa." Satoshi answered, Risa was actually the only person he was scared of in this building, anywhere actually. But she always thought that his nervous speech around her was because he liked her. Like hell that would EVER happen. She was also the only one who didn't seem to know about the same sex relationships in this organization.

She had caught Dark and Krad kissing like crazy once-they looked like they were eating each other-and shrugged it off as an accident where Krad must've tripped and landed on her beloved Dark. She had also walked in on Saga and Funabashi doing it under the blankets in their room, and said she saw Funabashi with Hikaru, an Aki leveled girl. True, Hikaru(5) was Saga's sister, but they hardly looked alike in any way.

"Come on! She grabbed Satoshi's arm lovingly and pulled him towards Riku and Daisuke. "It's almost dinner time and everyone's in the dining hall!" She smiled up at him. The blue haired boy could only give her an awkward smile that twitched sporadically every few seconds.

(1) Ok...I'll explain the North Wind trans-locator in the future as well...but all I can tell you right now is that it's the name of the Trans-locator that Krad stole in Chapter 1. And another thing I can tell you is there are 4 Trans-locators. As you now know, the one Krad stole is called the North Wind Trans-locator.

(2) ok...a bit of a spoiler...well, for the pplz that don't or haven't heard of Argentine from DNAngel. He appears at the end of the 10th volume, and is a Hikari art work, like To-To. Well, I don't want to spoil anymore, so just stick with the book to find out.

(3) Pyre, did I tell you guys about this yet? Well, you'll learn more in the future...XD

(4) Yet, again, I'll explain the ranks in the future. But I will tell you their names now. So you won't get confused. It goes from higher level to lower level. Ohhh, and there are 4 people in each rank, so I need to make up some people, but you might not even meet them.
1) Priest level (High Priest Ezan, etc)
2) Tenmei level(Krad, Dai, Sato, Dark)
3) Haru level (Keiji Saga, Funibashi, Takeshi, Argentine)
4) Natsu level(Risa, Riku, Masahiro)
5) Aki level(To-to, Hikaru)
6) Fuyu level
As you can see, Haru (Spring), Natsu (Summer), Aki (Fall), Fuyu (Winter) are the names of the seasons in Japanese. I have a reason for this, and I'll explain in the future...

(5) Hikaru, she is a made up character that I decided to be Keiji Saga's younger sister. She is Aki level, along with To-to from DNAngel. If you do not know To-to, her other name is Towa no Shirubi? (I can't quite remember cause I don't have the 5-6th volume, I borrowed)
Hikaru is also the name of a main character in the anime called Magic Knight Rayearth
