Authors Note: This may be the final chapter, I am not sure yet. I'm still planning the ending. (Which still might need to be improved!) Anyway, sorry for the slow update.. I've been trying to download these InuYasha songs on a CD for my friend Jean, but it slows my computer down! If anyone can provide me with InuYasha mp3s, please tell me the website, and they don't download so slow either… like an hours worth at least. Once again, I am sorry!

Disclaimer: Do I own DN Angel? No. And since you're reading this, I doubt you do either.

...:...Chapter 7 : Final...:...

While Riku and Krad where asleep (1) one light in the Hiwatari residence was still on. None other than Satoshi Hiwatari.

He was still looking for the cure, but he had not yet stumbled upon it. Boredly (2), he skimmed through the pages (3) and stopped for a second, retracing.

He had almost just missed it, if not for his good eye.

He had found it.

(A/N at bottom.)

Next Day

-

Riku was awakened by that low voice once again, cutting her ff prom her 'unpleasant' dreams. Which means disturbing, that naughty little pervert.

She moved slowly not to cause any disturbances and peeked out the door. A man, who obviously called before wanting to speak to Satoshi, was sitting there with Satoshi.

"I will say it one last time. Get rid of her, and get the necklace," he said, irritated.

"And I say there is no need for that," Satoshi said covering his eyes. He was obviously irritated as well.

Hiwatari put his head in such a position that his menacing eyes were covered by a glare from his glasses. Satoshi prepared for a 'Humans are stupid' speech from his father. He really didn't understand why his father said humans were stupid, he was a human himself. Unless he thought of himself as a god. Which he definitely was not.

"Do you believe she will want pain back? To not feel pain or hurt, that's every pitiful human's wish," he said, emphasizing the 'p's so he was literally spitting on Satoshi. (4)

"…and do you believe," he continued, staring at Krad, "That is she does want it out, she won't go tell anyone about it?"

Satoshi's eyes narrowed, and saw Riku at the door, eavesdropping on the conversation. Satoshi did't care.

"Father, she wouldn't say anything, never less."

Hiwatari smirked. "It's you're choice."

When the coast was clear, Satoshi nodded and Riku came out of the room. Riku was practically speechless. In fact… she was!

"What was that all about?" she asked, though she knew exactly what it was about.

"Well?" he asked, "Do you want to be cured?"

Later

-

"Are you sure this is OK?" Riku asked, laying on her/Krad's bed.

Krad was silent, making her even more nervous. She shivered a little, not used to the awkward silence, which Krad noticed.

His face was close to hers in a matter of seconds. She blushed as his hand caressed her left cheek, and he kissed her. Riku turned an even brighter shade, if that was possible. His hands stroked her stomach, easing her.

Once Riku had regained her thoughts and calmed down, Krad spoke.

"This is only a small incantation. It will hurt a bit though," he said, holding a feather.

"But.. there is a catch. You must let go of one thing that is dearest to you," he warned her, his wings surrounding her and giving warmth.

"That… would be you." (5)

Krad's face gave a surprise reaction, almost dropping the feather. Riku blinked at his most unKradish (6) move. Is she said yes… she's forget him. If she said no, she's probably die early.

Riku out her hands to her lips, knowing she had to make the choice.

"I.. don't want to lose you," she finally spoke, "But I don't want to stay like this… or feel alone…" Just like before… she thought, remembering her problem before she met Krad.

Immediately, Krad knew her decision. But he knew she'd forget him.

He held up the feather, muttering the incantation, and Riku felt a pain crawl up her leg. She bit her tongue, trying not to focus on it, and clutched on to Krad's shoulder's for support as she blacked out.

Riku's Dream

-

She awoke, or at least she thought she did. She was knelled in front of Krad in the rain. As she looked, she noticed she was in the graveyard, and she and Krad were not the only one's there. She saw a familiar red head clutching the fence, staring at her and Krad, probably in wonder. What she didn't understand is why Dark seemed to be Daisuke's shadow. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Krad's bruised/bloodied finger turned her chin to his direction.

"Do not.. forget me… I'll wait for you…" (See ch 1!)

Her head shot up at those words.

"I don't… want to forget you…"

She awoke for real this time. In confusion, she stared up at Krad, wondering why her head felt so… empty. (7)

She blinked. Then remembered.

"What happened! Who are you! And why aren't I home! You pervert, you better not have kidnapped me!" (8)

Riku thought for a second. Then recalled her dream. Exactly… why does this guy seem so familiar…?

"It's ok. You just… fainted," he said, heading toward the door.

"Oh… sorry," she said, glancing around for her bike. She finally found it. "Thanks… uh…"

"Krad."

Sorry, it was a disappointing ending! Poor Krad had to let Riku go… in the end… (sniffs) Just wanted to make a surprise ending. Just pretend they just met again, got along, and got to know each other.

Criticism, yes. Flames, whatever. Comments, yeah.

SAYONARA, PEACE OUT AND LATERZ.

Your mean, ignorant friend (No, I can be mean sometimes, but not all the time!) Dei Dei!

1. In the same bed, might I add?

2. Oh come on. It's not that hard, Satoshi. Is that a word, anyway?

3. Must have over a hundred pages, or is it just me?

4. He's like that guy from That's so Raven. Who spits on Eddie. Poor Eddie.

5. Aw, how sweet!

6. Ooh. Is that a word?

7. No, she is not brain dead!

8. Back to her old conclusions… (sigh)
