Reason for Being
A DNAngel fanfic by Ryushi Nigami
This is a one shot conversation between Daisuke and Dark in the aftermath of one of their heists. Enjoy, because I have not seen the series and only have one of the manga.
"There he is! Get him!' The police passed by Dark's hiding spot in their hurry to 'catch' him.
"Feh. Not worth my time. These humans are so easy to fool." Dark thought.
"Why do you steal, Dark?" Asked Daisuke, who was at the moment at the back of Dark's mind.
"Why do I steal? hmm...I never really thought about it before."
Dark ducks into a dark corner and thinks about Risa for a moment, changing back to Daisuke, who continues the conversation. "I always hear from my grandpa about how you are the greatest art thief to ever live, but why did you become a thief?"
"...I can't answer that for you. This is something that I have forgotten, because I have been a thief for as long as I can remember."
Changing out of his dark clothes and back into his normal everyday clothes, Daisuke begins the walk home and continues pressing Dark for an answer.
"Come on, Dark. You had to have a reason for stealing art."
""
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
"No. I'm just thinking. It was such a long time ago..."
"There's still something bothering you. What happened?"
"I remember being in love with a rich woman, but she didn't notice me..."
"Well, I guess that explains the unrequited love part of this deal," Daisuke replies as he crosses the street.
"So I decided to get her to notice me by making a name for myself. But I was only a young pickpocket at the time. I had no other skills."
"So you built up your skill at thievery and became feared for your prowess."
"Yes. That sounds about right. However, when I finally showed myself to her, she rejected me and turned me in."
Daisuke winced. "Ouch. That had to hurt."
"Not as much as being executed. But I made a promise that I would return and finally be worthy of her...exactly how, I had no idea."
"So your soul took refuge in the body of a struggling young thief with the same problem as you, am I right?"
"Yes, that is what happened. But irony is a bitch and by some strange twist of fate I couldn't have my own body again. And so it has been for over 400 years..."
Daisuke reaches home and climbs up to his bedroom window, not wanting to have to go through the usual traps that his mom usually has set up at the front door. "Well, I've got school tomorrow, and It's already late. I also want to work on finding a way t get you out of my body and into your own." He slips out of his clothes and puts on his pajamas. "Good night, Dark."
"Good night...and thank you."
End story.
So, what did you guys think? Seriously, though, tell me in a Review. I like reviews.
