"Kyuuu!" I blink and tilt my head, which dodges another angry hit from A-sama,
"You want me to make another chapter? Well...I do have an idea on how to introduce Satoshi and Krad-kun."
"Kyuu!" I sigh, ducking my head as A screams with her last shot only to get dragged off by my demon counterpart,
"Right, I do not own DNAngel! Hope you enjoy!" I grin and With sighs in relief.
II.
Dark quickened his pace through the white halls scribbled with the handprints of little children but stopped, staring with wide-eyes in fear as he saw Daisuke bending in front of a body covered in paint...or so Dark hoped. It was such a dark red.
"Riku-san, Riku-san, Riku-san!" Daisuke cried out, tears building up in the sweet redhead's eyes, "Riku-san!" The girl did not reply, her eyes a blank wide brown color. Dark cursed, Daisuke's gene defect...
"Daisuke, I'm sorry, she's dead."
"Niichan! She can't be dead! She was just painting with me, and she stopped the bullies...Niichan, please don't tell me she's dead!" Daisuke cried for his 'brother' holding up his hands that were stained with the dark color known as blood. Dark strained his eyes and toughened up, picking up Daisue to hold the other close.
"I'm sorry Daisuke..."
Crimson eyes opened up from a nightmare that had always been in his mind ever since the day that truly happened. The one that had died, Riku Harada haunted Daisuke, Dark knew very well as Daisuke would wander into Dark's room when he thought the kaitou was sleeping. Dark looked to his side and sighed as he saw the now ten-year-old sleeping peacefully, snuggling against Dark's own body.
"Daisuke-chan, Daisuke-chan." Dark teased the other to get up, who just mumbled almost uselessly and Dark snickered lightly and gave Daisuke a light shove off of the bed.
"AH!" Daisuke yelled, finding his face on the ground in pain, "Niichan?" Dark smiled, smirking his usual happy smirk,
"Ohayou Daisuke-chan." Dark grinned and Daisuke just stared right back at the young twenty-one-year-old man. Daisuke pouted,
"That wasn't very nice niichan." Dark continued to smirk,
"Well as your brother, I'm not allowed to be nice." Daisuke pouted, crossing his arms and frowning at Dark with a stiff upper lip, Dark only laughed at him. "Go on, you've got school haven't you?" Daisuke blinked once then panicked, rushing out of Dark's room and getting his school uniform on.
Dark casually smiled and crawled down in the large building that they lived in, the stairs were almost unnecessary long but there were more people living in the building after all. As said before Takeshi was very good at his job, though Takeshi had managed to get the information avoided from all of the scientists and was Dark's man for the inside information.
"Daisuke's afraid of being late again, neh?" Takeshi watched the rushing figure of Daisuke everywhere, flipping a few strips for breakfast, Dark just chuckled and sat down, drinking some juice that was on the table.
"Yeah, how's Menou?" Takeshi shuddered from the thought as there was a loud yell throughout the halls. Dark looked up and sighed, "Guess that answered my question." A pregnant Menou did not make a very happy person, especially in such a place where she was allowed to scream her head off and no one would pay her attention otherwise.
"I'M SORRY MENOU-SAMA!"
"Ahh...Daisuke just please help me up." Menou sobbed in pain as Daisuke helped the poor woman who had tripped just down the stairs, luckily just landing on her butt.
"Dark-niichan, I'm off!"
"Don't forget your lunch Daisuke!" Takeshi grinned then winked at the boy and whispered, "I packed extra for that special friend of yours." Daisuke blushed a bit and ran out the door in a fury. Dark sighed, seeing Daisuke's DNA glitch encouraging the boy's speed, then stared over at Takeshi,
"Special friend?" Dark rose only one eyebrow, confused on what Takeshi could have possibly been talking about.
"Yeah, every time Daisuke comes home he's always trying to hide, as though he's embarrassed by something." Takeshi smirked, "I could take pictures if you wanted me to Dark-sama." Dark twitched slightly from Takeshi's eccentric attitude and sighed,
"Nah it's fine Takeshi, I'm sure if it was anything big Daisuke would tell me eventually."
"Ahh, with that cute little 'Okaasan' he does, right?" Dark jumped a bit as Towa appeared out of nowhere with a great big grin. Dark just twitched at the woman who didn't look a day older then eighteen (as she had before, which always-frightened Dark once he really thought about it).
"...Right..." Dark sighed, brushing his hair up a bit and shrugging, "Probably, well I'm going to check up on inventory, alright?"
"Okay Dark, try to be careful of the fliers today, they're actually a little moody."
"Probably because of Menou." Menou hissed at Dark for one second before adopting a tired look as she thumped her way to the breakfast table and Takeshi gave her a huge order of whatever she demanded from her husband. Dark shook his head slightly and with a grin wandered to the stairs above, finding himself in a closed basement above. Dark simply opened the door and dodged a 'flier' as he was warned of earlier.
The fliers were just mainly experiments to try and see if they could try and extract the development in Daisuke's back, it didn't pain Daisuke too much but there were times when the boy would wake up, yelling and screaming in pain. The fliers were built with the same type of 'wings' that had been developing deeply in Daisuke's back, there were many experiments around the basement, all to try and make Daisuke as normal as possible.
The incident with Riku Harada awoken the DNA glitches in Daisuke's being, being a clone of Dark made his body faulty, his genes just based off of one person was just so hard, especially since he was born as a child. Dark was a genius to do this but it was delaying the inevitable. Dark closed the door and sighed, looking at all the experiments running around as they usually did and his gaze surrounded by the things he had stolen over the years, only as a hobby but to keep the bills at place and to stir confusion of every area Dark had managed to hit every night. One day he would be in Europe and in South America the next.
This was another of Dark's inventions of course, a fast flier by the name of With (of which he hadn't intended to have a name but Daisuke claimed him as his cute, little, weird, rabbit, thing pet...) that could travel the world in less a minute. What was wonderful about this flier was it could also shape-shift, Dark thought it was because he used his own genes to help the rabbit out (seeing as the rabbit wasn't intended to be a flier in the first place).
"Let's see..." Dark searched the closed area carefully, searching for the flier that he had tested on the other day and smiled kindly as he found it, but through sad eyes. The flier's wings had fallen off, it was a pathetic land-being that could barely even walk having spent most of life just flying in the air. "I'm sorry." Dark said softly, picking the flier up, its red feathers busting a bit in fear, "There, there." Dark soothed it, petting the top of it with one finger, "So the remover worked?" Dark looked closely at the flier then flinched as he saw an unwanted effect. The birds flesh, the feathers that connected to the wings as well as the bones...were torn, ripped apart by some un-natural force that Dark regretted it was himself. The flier chirped, trying to speak, but what good is there to speak when one's life has no longer any meaning? Dark sighed and opened the window and placed the bird on the outside rim...it was its choice...apparently that of death.
Dark stared down at the remains that laid down outside the window, his eyes soft and looking very tired, "Alright...who's next?" Dark turned to the other experiments with a graceful smile. What frightened Dark though, was that he saw Daisuke on the ground instead of a small little bird.
"Ohayou Gozaimasu, Hiwatari-kun!" Daisuke spoke to a boy with a polite bow and a gentle smile. The boy turned to him with cold calculating eyes, as the gaze he had always worn Daisuke wasn't afraid of it.
Hiwatari-kun had short blunette hair that shined perfectly when placed in the sun and made the boy seem more mature somehow, he also had pure cold blue eyes that matched his beautiful hair and he simply wrote the uniform as Daisuke did.
"Ah, Niwa." Hiwatari said simply, which made Daisuke smile. Satoshi Hiwatari had been his friend since he had turned six and moved to the old school that had Riku Harada, Satoshi was there too and when he moved it surprised Daisuke that they had moved into the same area, what a wonderful coincidence!
"Hiwatari, there's a part of last night's homework I didn't get, can you help me before the bell rings?" Daisuke asked softly, a blush building on his face for some unknown reason. Daisuke thought it was either too hot (which is why they wore their summer uniforms) or he was embarrassed by asking such a question (though Daisuke didn't see how that theory held together since Daisuke always needed help with something). Satoshi gave Daisuke a rare smile, the blunette actually liked this part of the morning but he always remembered that he had to be surveying the other.
When the two had first met, Satoshi didn't know anything except the strange feeling in his heart as he stared at Daisuke, as though the two had something in common, but Satoshi really didn't know what it was. They were actually very different from each other, shared different strengths, different interests and different personalities so Satoshi still didn't know what attracted them together but they still got along well enough. The feeling was mutual for Daisuke, or at least when they had first met, the ever-aching feeling that someone was just like you...though Daisuke still also didn't know what they could have possibly shared in common.
The school day basically passed as it usually had, Daisuke being over frustrated over small problems that he couldn't figure out and Satoshi simply helping him quietly through whispered lips and their fangirls squealing at how cute they looked together (the boys didn't know what they were talking about though). At least until Gym came, the two split apart for that time. They both had doctors notes to dress in different rooms from the other boys. Sadly Satoshi's room was occupied, and he didn't know where Daisuke was dressing in the homeroom. When Satoshi opened the door he hadn't been expecting to see the upper chest of one Daisuke Niwa.
"Niwa-kun?" Satoshi found himself whispering, staring at the redhead. Both were unaware of the blushes that strayed across their cheeks (both probably blaming the head), as they stared at each other with their cool eyes.
"Hiwatari-kun?" Daisuke replied back, reaching out to grasp for the shirt uniform which was on one of the desks. Daisuke was trying to reach for it without turning his back to Satoshi, though the damage was already done. Daisuke shook to the very core, fear creeping in his veins. Daisuke was never sure on why he had a doctor's note to change in a different room then the others, but since it was Dark's decision it must have been important...and now someone had stumbled upon him, oh was Dark going to be angry at Daisuke when he came home! And what was worse was it had to be Satoshi to find out! What if, for whatever the reason, that Satoshi would stop being his friend? Ah but Satoshi wasn't like that...
"Niwa, wait." Satoshi spoke calmly, walking to the redhead, who froze in just being talked to by the other. "Let me see..." Satoshi asked, staring calmly as Daisuke kept trembling, accidentally falling down from a chair and on to the floor. Daisuke flinched, shaking once again, Satoshi sighed and tried a different approach, "Daisuke," The redhead looked up with surprise, "It's okay, I don't need to see." Satoshi's heart clenched as soon as he spoke those words, he was curious and really wanted to inspect the other's back. Daisuke stared quietly then looked down,
"You won't tell anyone?" Daisuke whispered calmly and Satoshi felt a short smile growing on his lips,
"I won't." Daisuke went back to stare in the cold eyes, and stood up, brushing his shorts from the excess dirt from the ground. Daisuke flinched only once and turned around to show his back.
Satoshi stared with amazement at the creases in Daisuke's back, the flesh on the top of the shoulders were stretched out, giving Daisuke a large hump in the back that was always somehow blocked out whenever Daisuke had his clothes on, and as the indent went down it showed two separate bone cords, and the mysterious bones were growing out from Daisuke's spine. "Doesn't it hurt?" Satoshi whispered as he couldn't help but trail one finger down the shoulder blades, Daisuke shivered from the cold touch.
"What is it?" Daisuke asked, trying to turn his face towards Satoshi, but failed to twist his neck around that much.
"I don't know, but don't they hurt?"
"Sometimes..." Daisuke admitted and Satoshi's other hand crawled to his own back, feeling the surface of his own back as an uncomfortable emotion spread across his heart, but it was also familiar...
"Niwa..." Satoshi quietly paused, not sure what to say to the other, staring at the flesh that seemed to break open at even looking at Daisuke's back. Satoshi turned Daisuke around and gave Daisuke his earnest smile, which the somewhat younger accepted, giving him his own smile, "Well we should get ready for gym...the teacher's always is strict about our attendance, and besides, it's what you're good at, isn't it?" Daisuke smiled, and nodded but Satoshi noticed spilling from Daisuke's eyes...were tears of happiness...
Satoshi walked home, it wasn't far from the school after all and when he reached his home he had met up with the one person he really didn't want to speak with currently.
"Satoshi-sama, welcome home." Purred a longhaired blonde with one of his many bangs streaking a long way down and his golden eyes glittering towards the younger.
"Kobanwa Krad." Satoshi said quietly as Krad practically skipped to Satoshi and embraced the other, a grin permanently on the blonde's face.
"Hmm...Satoshi-sama..." Krad purred, grabbing Satoshi's hand and dragging him away from the cold iron gates and into the house. Satoshi stumbled a bit with his shoes as they went further into the house, stumbling into Krad's room. Satoshi took only one breath to find it taken away from his creator.
"Krad!" Satoshi scoffed, pushing the other with feeble strength. Krad just smiled his obsessed smile and cuddled with Satoshi,
"Hm...something happened today." Krad noticed, his gaze turning thoughtful as he stared at Satoshi's behavior. Satoshi stared back wide-eyed, not expecting Krad to see through his facade so easily. Krad grinned and ran his fingers through Satoshi's beautiful blue hair, "Hmm...tell me? It must be something really good," Krad purred, nibbling Satoshi's neck as he protested lightly.
"Nothing happened." Satoshi quickly said as Krad took the younger into his lap, administrating fluffy kisses all over Satoshi's face, which made the other blush in a very, very frustrated way. Krad chuckled, holding the hands that were trying to push him away, as they always had,
"You're a horrible liar." Krad replied simply, giving Satoshi a long kiss to his forehead. Satoshi sighed, his hands relaxing knowing that Krad would not do anything to him otherwise then a few kisses.
"..."
"Come on, you can tell your niichan, can't you?"
"You know, incest is looked down upon." Satoshi whispered quietly not that it would matter since they had this argument so many times before,
"Ah, but so is one's who are not true to their heart and I love you Satoshi-sama." Krad gave the younger another kiss, which Satoshi didn't struggle against, letting Krad have his way once again, "Hmm...yes, something very good happened to you today." Satoshi rolled his eyes away from Krad, refusing to meet his gaze.
"Nothing happened." Krad moved Satoshi's chin towards him, to stare right into the pure blue eyes,
"...You've found him..." Satoshi flinched Krad's everlasting stare, flinching a little longer a bit depressed as Krad had found his secret.
"I have." Krad grinned and gave Satoshi a long embrace,
"That's wonderful Satoshi-sama...that's truly wonderful..." Satoshi shook to the very core as Krad traced up one hand to touch the two shoulder blades that splinted apart just like Daisuke's, "That is so wonderful."
Daisuke avoided everyone's greetings and marched straight into Dark's room, slamming the door shut and cuddling himself within the depths of Dark's warm blankets.
"What was that?" Dark asked, looking up from his recent experiment with one of the fliers (which was struggling to get away but sadly did not have the strength).
"Must have been Daisuke...wonder what he's so upset about?" Towa muttered, concern for the younger one becoming apparent.
"Must have been his friend." Takeshi said, groaning as his wife muttered "checkmate" for the game.
"Hmm...Takeshi hold the flier for me, I'm going in."
"Hm, I wonder what he will call you this time?" Towa smirked and Dark glared at her as he marched up for his room. When Dark carefully opened his room with such a silence that could be compared to a master thief but this meant nothing to Daisuke who looked up from his sheets with wide-eyes.
"Dark?" Daisuke asked, his eyes looking so sad. Dark smiled at Daisuke and crawled into the large bed and hugged the one considered as his little brother.
"Shh...shhh...did something bad happen?"
"Someone saw me." Dark froze for a second, leaving the room quiet in such a cold and frightening sense,
"Saw you?" Daisuke nodded carefully but Dark kept a tight hold on Daisuke,
"Yeah...he saw my back..."
"What did he do?"
"He touched whatever's wrong with me...I felt weird," Daisuke admitted blushing from his awkward wording, "but he promised me he would never tell anyone." Dark sighed, ten-year-olds were a lot more innocent then any other counter-parts of age (except lower but that time had passed).
"That's okay, that's okay. Are you okay otherwise?"
"Yeah, thank you Dark-niichan, I'm just glad that you aren't angry with me." Dark smiled gently at Daisuke,
"Well I can never be truly mad at you...but you do know that there has to be a punishment." Daisuke's eyes widened then realized what Dark meant,
"Oh no! Dark-niichan!" Dark chuckled, jumping off of his bed and reaching in his armoire with a pair of special designed costumes and Daisuke just continued to moan,
"Come on Daisuke, the legendary Phantom Thief and his partner shall strike again!"
"Dark, shush!" Daisuke scorned the older as Dark grinned with a confident smirk and jumping all around the Louvre. Yes, that's right, you read right, the Louvre As promised Dark had always left a calling card and there were gangs of policemen crowding the streets and probably of the insides of the hall. Dark smirked slightly as Daisuke sighed underneath With's long wings.
"Ah nothing is fun about life if you don't parade around in your mask." Dark smiled, jumping up to pronounce his appearance. Screams all over came in surprise, fangirlism and anger, all saying only one thing,
"GET DARK!" Daisuke sighed once again, leaning against his 'brother's' back, With hiding the younger one's appearance high from the crowd. Dark smirked and easily climbed into the Louvre despite the overbearing presense of Daisuke on his back.
"No need to worry Daisuke, we'll just steal The Magic World of Still Lifes and we'll be out of here." Daisuke sighed, he didn't enjoy stealing that's why it was thought as a punishment, and despite that Dark was doing most of the work.
"Okay Dark." Daisuke whispered calmly but then blinked as Dark paused for a few seconds, staring ahead. The hall was suspiciously open in the first place...and now this figure. Daisuke stared ahead with a bit of shock as a tall blonde haired man stood in front of them confidently, wings coming out from his back as he wore pure white clothing.
"..." Dark quickly glared at the appearance of the figure, something about this person though...seemed familiar. Dark then smirked, "Dai-chan, go ahead, I'll take care of this guy myself." Daisuke climbed off from Dark's back and stared at him with question, "Yeah I'm sure, go ahead." Daisuke nodded and ran ahead, surprisingly the man let him pass. "So what's your name?"
"Hikari."
"Heh, kind of ironic." Dark grinned smugly as the blonde man smiled through the same face,
"True...why don't we fight without our shape-shifters?" Dark smirked as the man seemed to know...Dark then shrugged,
"Alright fine." With jumped off as a rabbit also came off of Hikari, which turned into a dark color, the two shape-shifters stared at each other with hostile looks in their faces.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time Dark."
"Oh? It's nice to know I've had a fan so many years." Hikari smirked then threw out one of his hands, which formed a large ball that Dark barely dodged. What was left behind was crumbling walls and paintings somehow unharmed, Dark frowned, "I think I'm in trouble..."
"All too true." Dark cursed as he ran against the wall with his superior agility and knowledge of a type of Tae Kwan Doe and as Hikari blasted him Dark noticed that the walls may have been beaten but the paintings remained unharmed. Dark frowned and made a complete flip in front of Hikari, who stepped back one step in surprise and Dark tripped him.
Curses over took the entire area as Dark grappled Hikari and they ended up in an interesting position, staring bright into each other's eyes with furious looks.
Why did this person seem so familiar?
"DARK! I got it!" Dark smirked and jumped away from Hikari, who didn't waste time getting up, "Sorry, I gotta go now." Hikari growled and try to throw a blast in Dark's way but there was a loud click,
"DAMN!" Hikari cursed, it had gone faulty on him, of all the times! Dark smug smirk continued to get larger as Daisuke ran to him with a wide painting that had brilliant colored bowl of fruit in it and the other crawled on his back once again.
"I hope this isn't our last meeting, I'll bring a little bit of my own tools next time!" Hikari growled at Dark as he flew away...but then Hikari calmed down and looked over to the shadows as Satoshi stepped out,
"So?"
"...It's no doubt...that was Daisuke..." Krad grinned, throwing his bangs back a bit with a grin,
"Heh, well Niwa, it's about time we found each other again."
I grin cheerily, "I had fun writing the SatoshixKrad weird fluff." A glares at me,
"That's because you like incest."
"Only in fanfics...I don't have a problem with it in real life, but it's so much cuter in fanfics." A sighs and D just comes up, patting her on the back, "TO THE REVEIWS!"
White Phoenix Eternal
I think for a second then grin and hand you a Dark clone that looks like Daisuke, only to get hit on the head by Dark, "Itai! Stupid Dark...right well I'm glad that you liked it...and yeah it was a little shorter then usual, or at least for my more recent chapters..." I cough and stare quietly, "Stalker?" ... "YAY!" I glomp happily.
OmegaScorpio
"Well you've just read how they met, though there will be more memories of their childhood in later chapters, but right now I think I'll keep it a bit of a secret...Thank you for liking the chapter!" I grin cheerily once again and rub the back of my head.
"That it?"
"Yup."
"Praise the good lord."
"Oh hush."
