Standard disclaimers apply. Oh! And no matter what it seems like this is NOT Krad/Satoshi. No way.

Hey! I'm back! Now, listen. I haven't abandonded my other DNAngel AU fic, I've just put it on hold for a while. It shouldn't be too much longer before I post chapter three so I thank you for being and remaining patient with me.

Paradise -Frantic-

(I shall trap you in a room with no windows)

The white plane of Satoshi's mind was devoid of all movement but for two bright shimmers of light. One shimmer, cobalt blue in color, crackled wildly in an attempt to intimidate the other. Sparks flew through the vast, empty space, and an explosion of anger superheated the air around them.

In response, large white wings surrounded the golden energy like a shield; the soft feathers singed and an acrid smell permeated the plain. The wings disappeared in a shower of glittering sparks to reveal the tall, nearly angelic figure of what appeared to be a teenage boy. Long, blond hair flowed unbound around a thin body like a golden river. White and silver garments clung to the lithe figure of the male and a blood red cloak fluttered in his magical aura. Pale, perfect skin seemed to glow with an ethreal light. A slender gloved hand reached out to the blue spark and it resolved into the terrified image of a young boy with feathery blue hair.

The boy recoiled from the beautiful person who had suddenly appeared in his mind, angry at the abrupt intrusion. Satoshi knew who this supposed angel was, had been warned about him for as long as he could remember. This was Krad, the curse of the Hikari bloodline. Satoshi knew he would be unable to fend off the entity by himself so he quickly made the motions of summoning and threw a ward at the blond.

Krad cried out in pain as the ward adheared itself to his throat. Satoshi took that as his cue and ran towards the window that allowed him to escape his mind to the real world. Krad clawed at the ward, face twisting in anger before smoothing into a saddened resolve. He forced his magic against the ward and it dissapated into nothing. He threw his arms wide and cried out a single archaic word. When he brought his hands together and stream of gold shot from his body and sealed the window just as Satoshi reached it. The boy yelled in frustration, trapped in his own mind with no way out.

(I shall paint myself in sin with supreme love)

He turned slowly and faced Krad who was smiling icily at him. A wave of hate, anger and pain washed over him as the entity didn't bother to contain his emotions; he cringed in discomfort. The angel flicked a wrist and a canvas appeared beside him. He raised a hand and ran his fingers over the blank cloth leaving four smears of color: red, blue, gold and violet. All over the canvas he drew a complex design that intermingled the colors but in the end left them completly seperate.

The end result was beautiful and he silently held it up for Satoshi to see. Then, with a cold smile he threw it up in the air and it exploded, spattering color over them and the landscape like blood. Satoshi stood, enthralled by the color falling to the ground like rain. He barely noticed when Krad appeared behind him and wrapped his arms around his torso. Satoshi slumped limply in the supporting arms.

(I will spread torn feathers and lay you over them)

Krad closed his eyes and materialized his wings. Exhaling slowly, he took a small amount of magic and borrowed the feathers to make them fall like rain. After holding him tightly for a few moments he laid the boy on the floor amidst the snowy down and stood watching him sleep.

(Now I will make the sign of the cross to you, whom I love deeply)

He made the Catholic cross over his chest and bowed to his Tamer.

(Oh, how beautiful)

A/N: Oh, buddy, was that okay? Please review me!
