"The Easter Krad"

Disclaimer: Don't own D N Angel. Would like to though…

Warning: Kind of AU. They're all separated (all magical items gathered and sealed, curse broken and all that jazz) Contains yaoi (duh), shounen ai (double duh), and cuteness. Hey, just look at the title. OOC-ness…

Part One: The Setup

Ah, spring. Weather's warming up, birds are singing, lovely isn't it? Easter's on its way… Strange how this is happening in Japan. Well, the Easter bit anyway.

Hiwatari Satoshi was busily looking through a box of various items, Krad sulking near by.

"Satoshi, why are we doing this again?"

"Well, Krad, YOU are doing this to see how Dark reacts. That can keep him busy long enough for me to do what I need to."

"You mean finally do Daisuke?"

Satoshi was promptly sent into a coughing fit, blushing madly.

"In your terms, yes. Why did that sound so strange coming from you?"

"I got it from Dark."

"I figured as much…"

"You would. You think too much. You're going to hurt yourself soon, Hiwatari-kun."

"Oh, just put these on and shut up."

With that, the one with low blood pressure rammed a pair of fuzzy white bunny ears on his head. Krad, in shock, touched the new head dress cautiously, as though the fuzziness would indeed kill him. The blond peered into Satoshi's mirror, seeing that one ear was cutely flopped over half way. His jaw made very good friends with the floor that day…

At the Niwa home, Daisuke was in the kitchen with Dark, cheerfully coloring eggs. His mother was nearby, you know, just in case.

"Dai-chan, how are you doing these artistic things to the eggs and not breaking them?"

"I'm not THAT clumsy, Dark…"

There was then a crack and a groan of annoyance from the adorable red head.

"What were you saying, Daisuke?"

"Urusai…"

Emiko smiled lovingly at her son, helping him clean up the shattered egg shell. Unknown to the humans, With was poking about the eggs and dye. He would be the Easter Bunny if he tried… which he did. Looking too closely at the dye, he emitted a surprised kyu, finding that the colored fluid tasted simply awful. Unfortunately, he tipped over the bowl of purple dye…

Emiko turned around and shrieked at the sight.

"With! What did you do! Oh no! My kitchen floor, I just mopped this morning!"

"Kyu…" was the only response she received as a very purple creature blinked up at her. Daisuke and Dark were too surprised to speak, but eventually Daisuke woke up from his daze and tried to wash the dye out of With's fur in the kitchen sink.

"Well, With, that's the best I can do. You still look a little lilac…"

Indeed. With was tinted lilac. It did look cute on him though.

"Do you understand your job, Krad?"

"Yeah, yeah, piece of pie."

"You mean cake."

"I prefer pie. Apple to be exact. We should make one some time…"

Satoshi heaved a sigh. Easter would be quite stressful this year…

Saturn Imp: There you have it. After a three month wait, I have been inspired to write again. Expect another chapter soon.
