Chapter 2: The staff of Shadows.
Kai: (smiles) Time to start the second chapter!
Satoshi: (grumbles) Do we have to Kai?
Kai: (shrugs) Well, I suppose we don't Satoshi, but then the reviewers would have to kill you.
Reviews: (looks over to see Tarnished Shadow, Tsuki Fox, Spoiler and Mergic glaring at him)
Satoshi: (face fault) …..
Yami Bakura: (rolls eyes) Oh look, more rabid fan girls.
Kai: (glares) Some one do the disclaimer!
Krad: Lil' Kai doesn't own D.N. Angel! Please R/R!

Kai: Thanks to my reviewers Tarnished Shadow, Tsuki Fox, Spoiler and Mergic (hands them a cookie) for all the great feedback! I'd say I'm doing pretty good for only watching 4 episodes and read 7 manga .
Satoshi: (pouts) Why can't I have a cookie?
Kai: (sighs) Here Satoshi, (hands him a cookie too) Now, on with the fic!
Satoshi: .
Yet you treasure this reality, Satoshi. Just as you treasure that boy...what do I treasure? To me...you are everything. Krad

"What are we going to do, Dark?" Daisuke asked as Dark sat on the roof of Niwa house where he often went to think.
Dark shook his head. "I don't like the situation one bit, Dai, it has trap written all over it", Dark stated. "That Alex guy is not to be trusted."
"You're right, but we can't just leave Satoshi there", Daisuke replied remembering that Alex had mentioned something about his blue-haired friend's safety.
Dark gave a devious grin. "Course we could!" he joked as With turned into his jet black wings and he flew off into the night. "But that would make stealing too easy for me."
"That's not funny, Dark!"

Satoshi sighed as he leaned back in the chair he had been tied to after his failed escape attempt. How did I get myself into this mess? He thought to himself as he glanced at his injured hand and noticed that it had already started to bleed through the bandage that Zoë had wrapped around it.
"Dark Mousy has been spotted!" one of Alex's lackeys announced.
Alex smirked as he walked towards Satoshi's chair. "See, didn't I tell you there was nothing to worry your pretty little head about?" he asked ruffling Satoshi's hair affectionately. "Everything's going according to my plan, but I can't have you babbling it once Dark arrives so I'll just do this." Alex took out a rag and tied it around Satoshi's mouth. Satoshi glared at the sliver-haired man while he tried to get the gag out of his mouth before his attention was grabbed by a new figure standing in the doorway.
"Well, that's one way to shut him up", the figure remarked as he entered the room.
"May I present Dark Mousy!" Zoë announced.
"Greetings, Dark", Alex said stepping forward, "how nice of you to join the party."
Dark glared at the figure before turning his attention back to the Commander to make sure he wasn't ruffed up too much. He frowned when he noticed Satoshi's blood soaked bandage around his hand. "Cut to the chase, Alex", he spat. "I don't have time for your pleasantries."
"My apologies, Dark", Alex replied, "Then let me take as little of your time as possible, I wish to hire you."
Dark raised his eyebrow. "What, do I have mercenary written on my forehead?" he inquired, "I'm not interested."
Alex smiled as he walked over to Satoshi again. "That's why we have our little insurance policy", he stated patting Satoshi on the head before grabbing a fist full of his hair and placing a knife at his throat. "but, I must warn you that if you refuse I'll have to slit his pretty little neck."
"Dark, it looks like we don't have much of a choice", Daisuke said as Dark began to think over Alex's proposition.
Dark snickered at Daisuke. "We always have a choice, Dai", he joked, "I mean we could finally be rid of that creepy little brat and be free to steal as we please."
"You can't be serious, Dark!" Daisuke shouted, "You're not planning what I think you're planning?"
"Thinkin' about it."
"You can't just let Hiwatari die", Daisuke argued. Wishing he could hit the thief in the head right about now.
Dark gave the child a mental smirk. "So, your true feelings about the dear Commander finally come out", he teased.
"What? No!" Daisuke yelled blushing. "Would you just shut up and save him already?"
"You're blushing."
"Shut up, dork!"
"That's Dark to you."
Alex smiled as he watched the two fight among themselves. "Have you decided, Dark?" he asked eyeing the thief.
Dark smirked as he took out a coin and flipped it into the air. "Well Commander, looks like it's your lucky day", he announced looking at Satoshi, who returned his gaze with an icy look of his own. "So what's my target?"
Alex shook his head and released his hold on Satoshi's head. "All things in time my friend", he replied, "what kind of host would I be if I didn't feed my guests?"
Dark looked at Satoshi again before answering. "A rotten one."

Kai: (grins) Yay! I've beaten the evil writer's block of chapter 2!
Dark: Don't you mean Flare beat the evil thing known as your writer's block?
Kai: (pokes fingers together) He helped….a little.
Flare: (walks in) Just a little uh hu.
Kai: (blinks) What are you doing here? I thought you hated Fan fiction.
Flare: (grins) I'm making a cameo. (walks out)
Satoshi: (raises eyebrow) Okay, he's weird.
Krad: Please R/R!
Kai: (grins) Or I'll sic Krad on you!
Krad: (face fault) What do I look like to you, your attack angel?
Dark: (grinning like an idiot) It suites you, Krad.
Krad: I hate you, you're aware of that right?
