- A New Awakening -
Disclaimer: I do not own DNAngel.
I had been staring off into space for quite some time now. Things had become so bitter between Daisuke and I lately. I couldn't figure out exactly why, though. He just seemed like he never wanted to speak with me anymore. If there was any way I had offended him, I was about to die if it would let me know.
The sun had just begun to set over the vast sea of red and orange. The white glistening streaks of water nearly blinded my eyes, but it probably wouldn't seem noticeable to anyone around – if there were anyone around. That's right. I was alone… all alone. It felt as though I had not a friend in the world. Maybe it was better that way for me and for Daisuke. Perhaps there was a way for me to disappear somehow. No.. That couldn't happen unless Krad and I were taken back into the Black Wings. Who knew when that would happen? Who knew when any of this would end?
Krad… His name replayed itself in my mind. For some reason he seemed like the only being on Earth who might understand what was happening right now. He knew what loneliness was like. He knew what it was like to be a loner for so long. He had been one far longer than I had. He just found it easier that way. Maybe he could teach me… Oh what kind of thought is that! Krad… He is to Yin as I am to Yang. We are polar opposites. How could he possibly find interest in helping something like me! Why would I even need his help anyway? I couldn't even figure out why he was drifting through my mind. It's as if I was being drawn to him in a way.
That is kind of strange, though. I'd been having dreams of him lately. They were sweet dreams, too. In my dreams, he didn't attack me forcefully. He didn't spit at me and insult my heritage. He did nothing that I would have expected him to. He was tender and gentle. He touched me in the most caressing of ways. The very thought brought a flush to my cheeks.
Dark… My sweet black angel… A shiver trailed up my spine. His voice seemed so real. Could it have been…? No. It wasn't possible. It could have never been him – no matter how vivid the dreams had been.
I stood from my perch on the statue of the angels on top of the large clock tower protruding over the town. Taking a last glance at the dying sun before me, I slipped away into the evening to head back home… or what I considered my home. Really I had no place to go. It was Daisuke's family – Daisuke's home. I was just kind of there. I had no real place to be – no reason to even be there. It only brought on a greater feeling of not belonging…
(A/N: Yes. This was a short chapter, but I promise they'll get longer. I know you're probably sick of the promises since I almost never go through with them. So I'm not even going to say I'll finish the story yet. If I do… Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! So… yeah. Hope you enjoy this small bit.)
