Disclaimers: No, I don't DNAngel. 'Calm Down' is by Killing Heidi… again. Yah.
Author's Notes: And so now we know how these angst fics came into play. Yeah, kind a crummy excuse, but you can't stop these ideas popping into your head. Now, here's the other Harada twin, Riku. She's a bit… on the violent side, let's say. A bit of mind-blowing Dark-bashing as well. Or something. Just a way to magnify on her 'hate' of the 'pervert'. Oh, and her feelings for his host.
Track Five: Calm Down
000
When your head is spinning and you're feeling overwhelmed
And your ears are ringing 'cause your heart is beating so damn loud
And your mind is numbing and your heart is pumping out
Oh it feels like you're running but your feet won't touch the ground
Calm down, calm down
Now all my defences are down
Calm down, calm down, calm down
When it feels like you're tripping but you're not sure what about
You just might be slipping, ice queen is melting down
And the blood is pumping and your head is spinning round
And your heart is thumping and your tongue is hanging out
Calm down, calm down
Now all my defences are down
Calm down, calm down
When you're feeling overwhelmed, again
Calm down, calm down, calm down
When your head is spinning and you're feeling overwhelmed
And your ears are ringing 'cause your heart is beating so damn loud
Calm down, calm down
Now all my defences are down
Calm down, calm down
Now you're feeling overwhelmed, again
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back again
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back again

Riku rubbed her eyes as she closed the door of her bedroom behind her in frustration: Risa was so… she was so… so damn obsessed with that perverted thief and it bugged the hell out of her so much that sometimes she just wanted to scream. Well, she couldn't do that, so the most she did these days was scream at said thief if they ever crossed paths. They seemed to that a lot though, so it was kinda freaky for the short-haired twin.
Something told her that she and her younger sister were being stalked. STALKED, of all things. Why would he be so intent with being such a… whatever he really was!
Phantom Thief, she snorted slightly, sure…
And what was with Risa being so obsessed with him? She had really, really high standards when it came to having a boyfriend – not like they had one anyway – but Dark? That didn't sound right at all, not right and she had no intention of sitting around and letting her younger sister get caught into something that would hurt her badly in the end. As the older one, it was her job to do that and she had no intention of allowing anything to happen to either one of them.
She vaguely recalled the first time she herself had seen Dark and had screamed as loud as she could. And then he'd disappeared. Gawd, she felt like an idiot after that, but that couldn't be…
Then there was that time when she was sleeping and then he… he… he was there and she screamed again and then… she threw stuff at him… and then he pinned her down and she was about to kick him where it hurt… (was she?) and then he, he… he… argh!
In her frustration, Riku kicked one of her bedposts and ended up hopping around, clutching her hurt foot. Okay, that wasn't the best way to get rid of stress and anger during a matter like this one. And all that time Risa was just humming to herself and daydreaming about… she didn't want to think about it herself.
Then how about her and Niwa-kun? Before all this had happened she had had no idea as to how she'd felt about her classmate, and didn't even try to think about it since he'd had a crush on her sister. But all that time, when she was ignoring it, whenever she did come in contact with the redhead, she was… she had been so confused that it was unexplainable. It was just that feeling and very, very mind-blurring, or whatever it was. Her heart beat so fast whenever she'd been around him…
And he'd liked Risa. But now… now it was different?
She could only hope so.
Riku flopped onto her bed and stared at the ceiling above her. But now what was to happen? Niwa-kun always seemed to be occupied with one thing or another and then there was still her sister and Dark, which she didn't want to face either, which meant hell all around. Maybe she was overreacting.
Sure she was, but she refused to admit to it.
There was so much she didn't know about Niwa-kun, even now, so what was she to do? They couldn't have any sort of relationship at this point, but he seemed to understand that as well, like the time at the island. That was just weird, and how'd she been so stupid as to get lost in there, she never came to know.
And then there was that dream; that ridiculous, absurd, complete and utterly crazy dream. No way they were the same. Niwa-kun and Dark…
But even now she was completely air-headed about Niwa-kun and maybe she would always be. It didn't really bother her that much, but still… she had homework and stuff to do to. Not to mention Dark was still creating chaos at all sides and it seemed to have an affect on him as well, for some very strange reason.
Riku pulled out her homework sheet and the answers to it, working out and all. She just needed something to distract her, even for a minute, and maths was the answer to that. She wasn't that enthusiastic on that sort of work, but it had to be done in the end. Maybe if hearing Risa whine about it would distract her more so, but no, she as on her own.
Now she was really going insane and that wasn't good at all. Why was she the one suffering all this mental torture anyway? It didn't make any sense at all. The brunette shook her head and went back to the paper, still lying on her bed.
Maybe after time passed things would calm down and she would finally be able to live a normal school life again. That would happen.
Once she stopped getting dizzy by just thinking about Niwa-kun, that is. And her constant dream to go and beat the living… out of Dark. She probably wouldn't go that far, but he needed to learn that playing with Risa's feelings was, like, taboo, when it came to her. She was family.
Insanity was becoming a part of life, so Riku pushed it away.
Oh well, she could deal with it.

Calm down, calm down
Now all my defences are down
Calm down, calm down
Now you're feeling overwhelmed, again
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back again
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back again

I dunno… Riku's an energetic girl… so it just ended up that way. Now I'm embarrassed.
This song seemed to make quite a bit of sense, but only where Daisuke is concerned. I read in some interview thing that sometimes she thinks about Daisuke so much that she can't think straight, so that's why the song made so much sense and stuff.
Okay this was done in about a week and stuff, but now I'm trying to find songs for the rest of them. I mean, like for Emiko, Daiki, Kosuke, Towa, With (!), Takeshi, you know, the lot. But I doubt it'll work, since you don't get to know that much about the characters. How about Freedert? Or Menou? Uh… you know what I mean. If you can find some songs then I'll be so glad for the help! (You know when I said about not having much music? Well, that's true, since I use my radio to listen to almost everything. And I have Simple Plan's first album, and then there's a bunch of random things that I can't understand, so there.)
Anyway, from this point on it won't just be angst. Probably conflicts between characters and the such.
Now, it's actually up to you reviewers as to whether I continue this or not, even if it isn't a real story. I could always make it so it was, but it depends. And I KNOW I should continue my other fics, but since this is pretty much one-shots and short stories, yeah. Hope you enjoyed and I'll just keep writing!
(Okay, I lie here. I mean, I'm working on fics that aren't even up yet… oh well.)
