Hiya! It's been ages since I updated, I know. Almost two weeks again! (gasp) I had lots of homework… But you're lucky! I've decided I can't write more than one story at once, and out of the two I'm writing, I've chosen to continue this one! For now, anyway!
I recently read Book 6 of DNAngel (finally!), and I noticed that it had Daisuke's grandpa's name in it, Daiki! Since I already started calling him Grandpa I thought I'd better not change it. But thanks to all of you who told me his name! And to all those who told me Dark's eye colour! And who guessed the X-Man! Thank you! Thank you!
Also, I knew Towa was a maid because I read it in other fanfictions, just if it seems weird. Nobody probably did, I was just worried you might. Did anyone other than me think that Riku and Risa's story was really sweet? (smile)
Disclaimer: Everything but my characters and Kurosan aren't mine. Damn world.
Reviewer thank yous are at the bottom this time! On with the fanfic!

Chapter 10
Found
Krad stared at the dark haired man clutching his side. He was full of mixed feelings – but the strongest were anger and confusion. He looked down at his own hand, and back at Seth.
Satoshi raised his eyebrows in mild amusement, having woken in time to see him attack. Krad was always so cold, so what had made him react? He didn't know, and by the looks of it, Krad didn't either.
A few metres away, Dark smirked. "What's wrong, Krad?" he asked. "Getting touchy?"
Krad glared furiously at him, his head turning sharply and making his long blonde ponytail swing dangerously. Determined to prove he wasn't soft, he summoned some white fire in his hand and shot it at Yuri.
"What are you-?" Dark was cut off as the flame hit the ground in a flash of blinding light. The onlookers, including Seth, stepped backwards in shock, and the girls shouted out warnings, cried out Yuri's name. When they were able to see, they gasped. There was a scorched part of ground, midnight black.
But it was a foot to left of Yuri's body.
Everyone sighed, except for Krad and Dark. Now it was his turn to give Krad a furious glare. "What were you thinking! You could have killed her!"
Miki and Riku joined in. "You psycho!" … "Hey, you almost fried my best friend!"
Krad's face didn't budge, and continued to be set in stone. But inside, Satoshi was raising his voice, too. You're crazy. I can't believe you did that. How sad.
Watching silently, Seth crept backwards and continued until he came between two buildings. He then wall-jumped up the walls and on to the roof.
Dark flew to the ground and had a look at Yuri. She was unscratched, to his relief.
The three girls came to look with him. Even Risa managed to avert her gaze from Dark's face.
"Hey."
Four heads shot around, one turning in boredom, to the top of the closest building. There Seth stood; arms crossed and coat flapping slightly in the night breeze.
"You're interesting," he nodded to Krad, who showed no surprise. "What do you think of joining our team?"
Miki gasped. "No, he can't!" This earned looks. "Uh… sorry…"
"Somehow…" Dark turned back to Krad and Seth. "…I'll don't think he'll join."
"Well?" Seth said impatiently.
Krad was giving him a hard stare. Then he answered him.
White light suddenly burst from his outstretched palm at Seth, who sidestepped and promptly dodged it. "I'll take that as a no…" He looked down at Dark. "You know my offer is open to you, don't you?"
"Not gonna happen," Dark replied.
"Then I'll be seeing you later." With a flash of his blade, he was gone.
"AAAARGH!"
Tash was outside the building, scowling at the spot where Seth had been. It seemed she had only just got out. Everyone, now exhausted, groaned.
"I can't believe he left me here! I can't believe he came!" She gritted her teeth, and got out her own blade. "I'm gonna get him for this…" Another flash came, and the woman disappeared.
"I'm gonna collapse…" Risa complained loudly. "Riku… help me home… no, Dark… would you… please?"
"You think you're tired?" said Riku. "You didn't even run the cross country course that Miss set us!"
"Yeah, well… I'm no good at running," Risa answered, pouting.
Miki fell next to Yuri. "What about poor Yuri…?"
"She'll be fine," Dark told her. "I'll take her home." Before Miki could protest, he picked her up bridal-style and flew off.
"That jerk…" Riku mumbled, before she pulled Risa's arm over her shoulder to help her home.
Miki got up off the ground. "My apartment…!"
"You can stay with us," Riku said. "There's plenty of room."
"Thanks!" Miki skipped next to her. "Could I borrow your clothes? And use your bathroom? And cook? I love to cook! Do you have any cook books?"
"Huh? What would I need those for?" Risa cried.
They were at the end of the road when Riku answered. "It's not like you were the one who cooked anyway…"
Krad was the only one left. He swiftly turned, flapped his feathery wings and flew back home, not wanting to be there when the police arrived.
Emiko stood on Daisuke's balcony. As soon as she saw a glimpse of black wings, she shouted out, "OVER HERE! OVER HERE! HEY D-!"
Kosuke put a hand over her mouth. "No need to tell the whole neighbourhood, honey…"
Emiko brushed it away. "But I've missed them! They left me!"
Kosuke grabbed her arm and tried to pull her back in, an attempt that failed miserably. But Emiko stayed quiet, even when Dark landed and walked in still holding Yuri. When the balcony door was safely shut, her mouth opened again. "Where have you been? I've been worried sick!" She hugged Dark, and then turned her attention to Yuri. "Oh dear oh dear…"
Grandpa appeared next to her. "She's in bad shape. What happened?"
"Krad," Dark replied flatly. It wasn't the whole truth, but he didn't want to worry them. He transformed back into Daisuke there and then, who fell forward in a daze.
Luckily, Kosuke caught him. "He needs rest. They both need rest."
To-To appeared in the doorway. "I'll get the spare mattress!"
The set out a makeshift bed, and laid Daisuke down in it. Emiko was the last to leave, but when she did she stopped at the door, and whispered, "What are you keeping from me, Dai…?"
"SETH!"
Seth entered the hall, an enraged Tash following. "Leave me alone, you crazy woman," he snapped.
Breez looked up from the main table, and Hawk looked away from the window. Breez frowned. "Finally here, Seth? Did you have fun taking your time? Because we didn't!" She stood up and walked out.
Tash watched her go. "What's eaten her?"
"Got fed up with waiting," Hawk said, rolling his eyes. "You know how impatient she gets."
Tash sat down in the closest chair. "And now we have to wait for the hostess herself. What a drag…" She glared at Seth. "Don't think I'm through with you yet!"
Neither man replied. Seth leaned against the wall with his arms folded, thinking over and over again what a waste of time it was being there.
And that's a wrap! (laugh) So anyway, here are the reviewer thank yous!
Dragon and Sword Master: If I told you, I'd ruin the story! Right? Didn't I tell you that you think too much? (laugh) (but your still allowed to think!) Thank you!
Kyo's little koneko: You think enough to review! Thanks!
Animesdbest: Thank you! And yes! Your right! 100 points to you, and a free mini parasol! You don't like it? How about a cookie? (smile)
Vorpal Dragon: That's good to hear! That's my fear – being confusing! I'm serious! And of course he doesn't like them! They're that bad guys, aren't they? (grin) Thank you for reviewing.
Indy: Ah, one more of my many fears. Going too fast. I've really got to watch that, haven't I? I tried to describe Krad a bit better. There aren't anymore important male characters, maybe one semi important one. But I did mention him somewhere already, so. You should be Ok. Cheers! (smile)
