"Did I actually hear you right?" A stares at me stunned and I sweatdrop,
"Yes, yes you did."
"...I want it written down." I sweatdrop again as A glares at me, I roll my eyes and sigh,
"Hey guys! Guess what! I'll be concentrating on this fanfiction so expect updates at least once or twice per week, I'll concentrate on my other fanfics later..."
"YES! THANK YOU LORD!" A cackles and runs away, laughing and skipping gleefully.
"...She is one weird angel..."
"No kidding. Well here's the next chapter! I don't own DNAngel!"
Hello, Clone of Me
IV.

Colors formed all around, surrounding every part of his body, covering him comfortably until they formed a suit of clothes of some kind. The colors swarmed all around him to show as a mirror, letting him see his own reflection.

"You are..."

"I am..."

The colors surrounded him once again, giving him a comfortable feeling, lending him all of their powers, their chaos, and more important, their meanings.

"You are...our child..."

"Child...?"

Beautiful red eyes woke up for once earlier then the counter-part that had insisted he sleep with him that night. Daisuke looked down at Dark, who was sleeping quite peacefully. Daisuke smiled brightly and quietly jumped off from the bed, which went unnoted by Dark, and Daisuke left the room to get ready for school.

"Ohayou Daisuke!" Towa cheerfully jumped on the boy, who coughed out some toast he had managed to sneak from the ever-growing plate.

"Good morning To-to." Daisuke said back to her, knowing that the older woman preferred the nickname (though Daisuke never saw why, Towa was a beautiful name).

"Ah Daisuke, it'll be great today." Daisuke blinked, biting into bits of his toast,

"What do you mean?" Towa smiled at him mischievously,

"Your current teacher is sick...I'm just one of your subs." Daisuke stared with almost wide-eyes, Towa? Teaching? A cold feeling couldn't help but wonder down Daisuke's spine. "So isn't that great Daisuke?"

"...Wonderful..." Daisuke couldn't help but keep his enthusiasm from bursting.

"I know!" Towa just said cheerfully, glomping on Daisuke once again then walking off, probably getting ready for school. Daisuke let the thought process of Towa being at school...and disappeared out of the huge mansion with his incredible speed.


Keiji Saga is what one would call a rather...eccentric child. Short blonde hair that flew nearly everywhere and beautiful eyes that shined rather brightly, especially at looking at a masterpiece. What Keiji considered masterpieces though were certain humans, most of the time they were human boys, and he would jump on him, demanding them to be in his commercials, so that's why Keiji's family moved around a lot.

The only one thing about Keiji's life that never changed was his minion ("Secretary!") Funabashi. Wherever Keiji went, Funabashi followed. But that's not really that big of a deal is it?

"So this is the new school I'm going to?" Keiji looked at the rather large school, with a slight twitch. Yes he had been used very large schools and getting best of whatever neighborhood he had drifted too, but this place seemed...weird.

"Yes, this is it." Funabashi said simply, repeating what Keiji wanted to know. Keiji pouted at his minion ("You never listen, SECRETARY!") and he started to walk for the school, only to be tackled by a very fast person and they both were tackled to the ground, rolling around until they reached a wall. On top of Keiji was our known hero, Daisuke Niwa.

"Ah, I'm so sorry!" Daisuke cried out, not an ounce of sweat from his long run but he hadn't meant to bump into someone. Keiji stared for a few seconds, but a grin spread across his face. Funabashi twitched, recognizing that look,

"Ahem." Funabashi coughed, glaring down at the redhead and blonde. Keiji just continued to grin as Daisuke got off of him and helped the other up,

"I'm sorry." Daisuke bowed a lot, begging for Keiji's forgiveness. Keiji was about to speak when Funabashi covered his mouth very quickly,

"It's okay, thank you and good bye." Funabashi said, dragging Keiji from his newest obsession. Daisuke stared, blinking only once then leaving to get inside the school building...meanwhile though with Keiji and an obviously jealous (well except to Keiji) Funabashi.

"Funaaa...why did you do thaaat?" Keiji whined, poking Funabashi whom just continued twitching at the blonde.

"Saga...I'm sure that your father would prefer not to move to another new home so quickly." Keiji sighed, staring at his minion ("Okay, you're obviously not getting it, SECRETARY DAMMIT!") and pouted,

"I can't help it, he's got the perfect looks and just an aura that says "Jump me! I'm cute and innocent and is as cuddly as teddy-bear!" Keiji proclaimed cheerfully, which Funabashi calmed him down from with a good solid punch, grumbling and turning away from his master ("BOSS!"). Keiji just smiled from his spot on the ground, imagining the very cute Daisuke...but twitched, "NOOOO! I DIDN'T GET HIS NAME!" Keiji panicked, crying fake tears of which Funabashi gave no sympathy for.


"Niwa."

"Morning Hiwatari-kun." Daisuke smiled at Satoshi calmly as Satoshi stared back, this time looking closely at the forehead, checking for injuries without invading Daisuke's personal space.

"Did your brother give you any trouble because of the late stay?" Daisuke laughed nervously, twitching at the memory of the night before.

"...Yes..." Daisuke twitched slightly, taking a deep breath of sadness. Satoshi noticed this and gave a questioning look for Daisuke. "He almost found my wound," Daisuke pulled his hair up and Satoshi nearly hissed at a pulsating wound that looked like it was still bleeding. "Yeah, thank goodness he didn't." Daisuke pulled his hair back down, which covered the wound easily and Satoshi stared, terrified of the redhead's wound. "Otherwise then that, Dark-niichan really doesn't trust you or Krad-kun." Satoshi figured so, and it made sense.

"I see..." Daisuke continued smiling, staring down at Satoshi, then spoke quietly,

"Hiwatari-san...what happened last night?"

"I don't know."

"Really?" Satoshi gave Daisuke a quiet stare, not blaming the redhead for his curiosity, but. Satoshi sighed and closed his eyes,

"Yes, Krad nor I have any idea what happened to you last night." If Satoshi told the truth, it may bring more danger for the redhead, and that frightened Satoshi for some reason. Daisuke sighed, almost disappointed but understood that if both of them didn't know, then they were probably trying to figure it out, or thought it not that much of a big deal.

Colors surrounded Daisuke, covering him protectively, growling at the new invader

Daisuke snapped out of his short trance and stared at Satoshi, who rose one eyebrow curiously. Daisuke shook his head and laughed calmly, unsure of the voice in his head, describing the many settings to God knows where. Daisuke sat down as the bell ran its deep tune and it was only silent throughout the room. Of course this silence didn't remain long as many of the classmates talked to each other, until a bird hit a window. Daisuke covered his head in shame as he knew whom the little plush like bird was as Satoshi rose to take care of the problem. As soon as Satoshi opened the door, the bird hurried inside and flew to the center, looking like it clapped once and out popped the form of a human. Many people screamed, and Daisuke didn't blame them.

"Good morning class!" Towa proclaimed herself, shining very brightly throughout the stunned classroom.

"Kill it." Many boy students spoke, hiding underneath their desks and the girls joining them, though commenting how stupid the boys were to be afraid. Daisuke sighed as Towa stared a bit shock and walked over to her,

"Aunt Towa," Towa flinched but went along with the act, "you better show them the invention." Towa nodded and fished around her hand in her back, searching through her odd dress before whining,

"Daisuke, I can't reach it!" Daisuke sighed and helped Towa by fishing a hand in her dress, many people stared shocked. "Ah, there it is!" Towa declared as Daisuke pulled out a weird object that looked like an oval with a gemstone glowing in the middle with ancient language writing surrounding it.

"Here you go Towa-sama." Towa squealed, holding the object lovingly and then glomped on Daisuke (Made major glare points by Daisuke's fans) thanking him over and over again. As Daisuke took a seat, the students crawled out of their desks, staring at the new object that Towa held openingly.

"This is a piece of technology recovered from the very deep depths of the underworld," Children shuddered as Towa added a very spooky tone with it, the only ones that hadn't been effected were Satoshi and Daisuke, "it gives a person the ability to transform into their animal counterparts." Towa smirked as the students stared with wide-eyes. This was actually invented by Dark who was sick and tired of Towa complaining about another car to travel around in, so he stumbled upon it and gave it to the bird-like girl.

"Wow!"

"That sounds so cool!"

"Can I try? Can I PLEASE try sensei?" Satoshi rose one eyebrow casually, staring quietly as Towa was surrounded by students. Satoshi then faced Daisuke,

"Why didn't your brother use that last night?"

"We only have one, Towa always has it...and it sometimes doesn't give the ability to some people." Satoshi nodded, accepting Daisuke's answers.

"Alright, alright, if we have time after the lesson I promise, but sometimes it won't let you transform, take for example, Daisuke!" Daisuke sighed and walked up to his 'aunt' and she attached it to his hand ("It can go anywhere, I just like it on my back to surprise people, that and it disappears once you transform.") and touched the gemstone in the middle of the object and Daisuke found the whole class staring at him.

Daisuke didn't transform, except in the eyes of Satoshi Hiwatari, an after-image appeared right upside of Daisuke. Red wings surrounded the boy as he transformed into...

"A half..." Only one part of Daisuke's after-image transformed, his arm before became a large red wing as feathers covered the boy, but his other half was missing...there was something missing. That's why Daisuke couldn't transform?

"As you can see students, Daisuke doesn't transform, we think it's because of his bloodline, that or Daisuke doesn't have any animal counterpart." Towa pinched his cheek lovingly and shamely as Daisuke handed the advance in science back to her. Towa took it and then grew serious as the kids went back to their seats. Towa was about to speak when an older man (presumably the principal) and two younger boys (one the principal was carrying angrily) kicked the door open.

"Ah Miss Towa, it's nice to see you made it, now these are two students transferring here and since you're just a sub you don't have to worry too much." Towa nodded, staring at the one the principal carried, he reminded her of a little Edward (1).

"Ah I see, so who are you two?" The principal gracefully put the boy he was holding down, whose attention was strayed to our known redhead. Towa then smiled at both of them as the principal left.

"So what are you-" Towa found herself talking to air as the blonde hurried to Daisuke and his minion followed him faithfully. Towa stared at the scene as the blonde held out his hand for Daisuke,

"I'm Keiji Saga, though you can call me whatever you want." Daisuke blinked and Satoshi found himself glaring very harshly at the fallen deep blonde as Funabashi also seemed to hold the same kind of protective air that Satoshi held for Daisuke. Daisuke wasted no time in replying,

"Oh, I'm Daisuke Niwa...Saga-kun." Keiji sighed, oh so innocent, always respectful even when faced with a unique being such as himself, Daisuke was a perfect person. Funabashi continued glaring as did Satoshi and Towa twitched a bit, seeing this,

"Ahem, we might want to all sit down now, for our lessons of course!" Keiji sat right next to Daisuke, giving the red-head a charming grin while Funabashi sat next to Keiji, giving a glare to the unknowing and innocent Daisuke while Satoshi tried to will Keiji's stare off of Daisuke. All four not knowing why they were feeling so weird.

Oh, what a heavy burden filled the room and Towa felt it well and was scared for all of the ten-year-olds that may get in the way.


Dark woke up that morning, and he wasn't very happy. Not very happy at all, he was left alone. Takeshi and Menou went out to do some Lamaze breathing classes ("What? Why? It's just a lot of breathing!"), Towa was subbing at some school (Dark didn't know which) and Daisuke was at school...with that Hiwatari. Dark narrowed his gaze in that thought, he had to get rid of this tension, and it was bugging the hell out of him!

"Oh right, got to check up on that flier." Dark muttered as the new experiment came to mind and Dark went up to the large basement on top, but when Dark opened the door he was greeted with a sight he had not expect at all.

Blood, everywhere, and corpses spread out and if you looked closely enough there were words. Words everywhere and in so many different shades of red. Dark stared at the sight in terror and lightly walked in, expecting something to try and maul him into the same type of pieces that the corpses were in shape of. Nothing came, Dark then stared at the words carefully, and breathing very silently to not alert anything he was there.

Colors, we want our child

We can't let the lives continue dying

HE is our child

HE is the body for HER

LEAVE OUR CHILD ALONE

Dark couldn't help but stare, what the hell was going on around here? Dark glared down at the mess all around, everything was dead. It was unbelievable, how could something just come into a very high security house and destroy all of Dark's experiments, test subjects and inventions (well that were in that room)? HOW?

"Who could this guy be? And is he talking about Daisuke? Who's her?" Dark asked outloud, developing the science approach, discover your problems and then come up with a hypothesis. Dark stared at the blood bath all around the room and looked closely at all the gears spread all over the blood.

We will never leave him alone

Dark frowned at the voice that came from his head once again, he didn't get what the voice meant, he didn't get what and why this room as like this, and he was just confused about every single little thing. Dark then stared at the room disgusted,

"It's looks like I better start cleaning up before Daisuke comes home."


Towa sighed, leaning against the bars that held her from completely falling off of the roof. Today was exhausting! Just as Towa suspected, Satoshi Hiwatari seemed to like Daisuke, he just didn't seem to show it ALL that much...until a certain blonde came up, trying to shower Daisuke with love and devotion. Towa sighed, she had to do anything she could in all of her power from a real fight starting. This was almost ridiculous, they were just ten-year-olds for God's sakes! But Towa recognized the looks coming from Satoshi and Funabashi, it was just so darn scary...and Daisuke was clueless, poor boy.

"Hey To-to." Towa blinked and grinned as Daisuke came to her, smiling cutely as he walked to her to eat lunch with her.

"Ah Daisuke, so how did I do?" Towa grinned, expecting praise from the younger. Daisuke kept silent for a few seconds then admitted the truth,

"You kept straying off of the subject, I also think some of the students didn't get the point of the lesson." Daisuke spoke, then drank from his juice-box. Towa flinched from the criticism...well at least it was so harsh and it was said by Daisuke, that wasn't that bad at all!

"Ah...well it's not that big of a deal." Daisuke rolled his eyes cheerfully as Towa pouted and Daisuke apologized for being a little strict when the two were found silent as Satoshi had wondered out from the door. Satoshi stared, not expecting anybody in his usual eating spot and he blinked once before trying to close the door, but Daisuke's voice stopped him,

"Hiwatari-kun! Want to eat with us?" Satoshi didn't know why but a blush somehow found itself on his face, but quickly disappeared and he walked towards Daisuke and his aunt. When Satoshi sat down, he could see that Daisuke was well fed and Daisuke saw that Satoshi was the opposite. "Why don't you have a bento box?" (2) Daisuke asked, chopsticks sticking out of his mouth as he pointed at the small package Satoshi carried.

"I don't have time in the morning to prepare a real meal...and I don't really need it." Satoshi quietly replied and Daisuke frowned a bit from this information,

"Well you can share with me Hiwatari-kun!" Satoshi blinked as Daisuke had placed his chopsticks in front of him and in the chopsticks was some red sushi.

"Niwa..."

"I insist Hiwatari-kun, unless you have something else in there." Satoshi shook his head, all he usually had was bread and some juice, but that was all usually. Satoshi hadn't exampled sushi often, Krad considered it a delicacy and saved it for special occasions (Most of them involved Satoshi complimenting Krad on something, no matter how small it seemed). Satoshi stared at the food grasped within the chopsticks and timidly took a bite from the sushi. Daisuke retrieved the sushi half that Satoshi didn't eat and ate it himself. Towa stared with a dark blush on her face, watching the two as Daisuke fed Satoshi (which Satoshi didn't seem to be enjoying too much) and eating after Satoshi. They were sharing the same chopsticks!

Oh my God! It's like they're sharing French kisses already! Towa screamed in her mind, her blush and wide eyes growing wider and wider as Satoshi split some bread with Daisuke, the two seemed very happy (well okay, it was hard to tell on Satoshi, but Towa swore she saw happy smirks crawling out from Satoshi's lips). Towa tried not to squeal like a shameless fangirl, two very cute boys were just innocently (well, maybe not Satoshi :D) eating each other's lunches...with the same chopsticks! This moment needed to last forever, it just needed too!

"Oh that was the bell." Daisuke said, staring up to the sky casually as the slight ring gave the time for lunch was over. Towa cursed in her mind, screaming on killing the time restriction for lunch and sighed, hoping that the other sub would be able to take care of the jealous two, the innocent Daisuke and the eccentric Keiji.

It was SO worth getting up today Towa commented though, drooling calmly and walking down to get to the next class to teach.


"Oh God...No..." Satoshi moaned quietly to himself as Daisuke greeted the sub for the English (3) teacher.

"Why hello Niwa and Satoshi-sama!" Krad sparkled and almost all of the children that had reached the classroom grew afraid. There was no way any teacher was that bright and happy, especially having already dealt with students already in the day. Satoshi kept his groans to himself and forced himself to take a seat as Krad placed down a schedule calmly with a big bright and almost fake smile.

"I didn't know your brother could teach English, Hiwatari-kun."

"..." Satoshi just kept silent, if he didn't speak, Krad wouldn't hear him and if Krad didn't hear him it left a lot of unwanted pain in the whole classroom. Satoshi almost shuddered as an image of the evil Krad (chibi style though, Satoshi had a strange imagination sometimes) laughing over a burning classroom and many students crying out for help. Yes, it was better if Satoshi didn't speak unless spoken to answer a class question.

"Alright class, it says here that I'm supposed to choose whose idea is the most original for starting a real publish on the story for unfortunate children," Satoshi flinched a bit as Krad let his gaze wonder to Satoshi, obviously letting the blunette know...that they were more then likely going to win that part of the project. The class went on slowly as everyone told their ideas to Krad, who just nodded calmly and surely, though there was no doubt he was bored of listening to the many children's comments (As most of them were actually from fairy tales, it seems that some of them were just not very good listeners in original thoughts). When Daisuke timidly proclaimed his project, Krad couldn't help but smirk as the idea had more merit then anything else that had been given, and so with that done, Krad clapped his hands, "Alright, we'll be focusing on that, I'll write a note to your normal teacher...and now on to the lesson." Satoshi breathed the breath he was holding, fearing that Krad was going to actually say or so more then intended, but he didn't. Thank goodness.

Satoshi was almost amazed by Krad's behavior at the end of class, he had acted like the perfect sub...it made Satoshi suspicious of course but he didn't say anything about it.

"Wow, Krad-kun knows a lot about America, doesn't he Hiwatari-kun?" Satoshi nodded quietly, not quite sure on how the blonde knew so much about America but shrugged the information away. All that was really important right now was keeping Keiji away from Niwa. Satoshi wasn't aware of why these protective feelings came up through his stomach and mind and back but they continued coming every moment Keiji talked to Daisuke, or when he would just stare at Daisuke. Keiji had to be stopped. Satoshi realized his thoughts and groaned to himself, this was ridiculous and unbelievable. What was the big deal? Daisuke was just getting another friend was all...

Another friend that would die by Satoshi's hand if he didn't keep hugging the redhead about every five minutes. Poor Daisuke, he was unaware as usual and just let Keiji hug him every time the blonde did so. Also poor Funabashi, it took everything he had in him to clock the eccentric boy.

"Ah, Satoshi-sama and Niwa-kun, I will have to see you after class." Krad spoke and Satoshi felt a weird shudder run down his spine, not unlike all the times Krad applied pressure to the sensitive spots. Oh what could Krad want? It was about time for Gym for the class but Krad insisted that the boys stay for the discussion.

"What do you want Krad?" Satoshi asked simply, not really showing any emotion to give out his panic.

"What happened last night was what one would call a spirit that hadn't descended to its resting place." Daisuke blinked and stared at Krad, not quite sure what the other meant and Satoshi sighed, staring at Krad to give a better explanation for Daisuke, "Otherwise known as a ghost."

"A ghost?" Daisuke blinked, looking confused, and not that Satoshi blamed him. The only reason Satoshi wasn't surprised himself was because he had seen many ghosts in the mansion by the pictures...but the night Daisuke had came, they were mostly gone, disappeared somehow.

"Right, and the ghost came from you Niwa." Krad replied back seriously and Daisuke sprang up a bit in surprise,

"Me?"

"That's right, you have a ghost haunting you, I think its trying to lead you to your death." Satoshi's eyes hardened as he saw that Krad was completely serious about this and was actually trying to help Daisuke. Satoshi was disgusted by what he thought Krad was thinking, can't get rid of our precious funding, now can we?

"But how did it get there?" Daisuke asked, very worried and trusting Krad as Satoshi's older brother. Krad frowned, and looked away,

"I'm not actually sure of that part." Satoshi stared quietly, surprised underneath his usually cool exterior. Krad? He didn't know something? Surprise, surprise. Krad stared at Daisuke almost softly,

"Did anyone die around you when you were growing up?" Daisuke opened his mouth to reply no but-

Darkened blood spread everywhere, tears of agony came from his eyes, he called for her but she would not answer.

"-..." Daisuke looked down, "But...she wouldn't be haunting me...would she?" Daisuke looked back up to Krad and both Hiwataris were surprised to see tears building up in Daisuke's eyes, "Please tell me she isn't haunting me..."

"Daisuke..." Satoshi stuttered protectively as the younger held himself with tears consuming him,

"Please tell me Hiwatari-kun. Please..." Daisuke pleaded to the blunette, "I-i-i...I didn't mean for it to happen. I..." Daisuke sniffed, holding his head then in pain, "I didn't...I don't..." Satoshi and Krad were unresponsive, not quite sure how to handle the tears that came from Daisuke.

"Who?" Satoshi asked softly, wishing to get Daisuke out of the weird trance he was in. Daisuke looked up with startlingly with red eyes,

"..." Daisuke strained to say what he wanted to tell Satoshi, but ended up crying some more, leaning up against Satoshi, which surprised the blunette and for once Krad didn't feel jealously. Satoshi wasn't too sure on how to react, but instinct provided senses and Satoshi patted him on the back, "I didn't want her to die!"

"Daisuke, we really need to know who she is." Krad interrupted, his eyes actually looking soft towards the younger one. Daisuke hiccoughed and stared up at Krad,

"Riku Harada-san..." Daisuke muttered and gasped lightly as Satoshi fished a hand up his shirt to apply pressure to the weak spot. Daisuke found himself falling asleep against Satoshi and he leaned in rather comfortably against the slightly taller blunette.

"Harada?" Krad shrugged, not entirely sure either. Krad stared down at the sleeping boy and frowned, looking away,

"We should figure it out later Satoshi-sama...but we should also get him to his brothers, I'd rather Dark not be incredibly pissed to find that Daisuke disappeared." Satoshi remained silent for a second but then stared at Krad, for once with pleading eyes,

"Please, let's take him home with us." Krad blinked and growled despite himself, why for Daisuke? Why? Krad then nodded,

"If that's what you want Satoshi-sama." Krad blinked as Satoshi dared to give him a kiss on the cheek to show how grateful he was,

"Thank you Krad." Krad stared at Satoshi as he walked out of the room to get ahead of Krad. Krad stared with almost wide-eyes but then chuckled, holding his cheek tenderly,

"You're welcome Satoshi-sama." Krad whispered, grinning softly as he went to call Dark about Daisuke.


Satoshi wasn't quite sure on what to think, there Daisuke was, lying there in such a comfortable way so Satoshi didn't want to disturb him. Satoshi flinched a bit at his thoughts earlier, he actually kissed Krad...HE KISSED KRAD! Satoshi was almost ashamed of himself...almost...When Satoshi had actually gave Krad that kiss he felt weird, a happy kind of weird. Satoshi looked up as the door was slammed open and also slammed close, Krad was dressed in a lab coat, holding a needle while having some sort of weird hat over his face, veiling his entire face.

"Did you call...?" Krad nodded carefully and trudged foreword and Satoshi stood back, watching him carefully as Krad searched Daisuke's body. The weird hat gave Krad the ability to see if there were any type of parasites inside Daisuke's body, a ghost was actually a type of parasite. Though the soul would still be haunting the person, they were more or so actually parasites infecting the body, some of them were contagious and some of them weren't. Krad searched throughout Daisuke's body and frowned...they were all over. Krad sighed and looked at the expecting Satoshi,

"They're all over his body, all kind of 'ghosts'. The only one that is really dangerous though is the one next to his heart."

"One next to his heart?" Satoshi asked, alerted. There were few cases of a parasite near the heart, and the ones with them died very quickly,

"Yeah but from the look of it, it's been there for quite awhile...probably this Harada that he was talking about earlier." Satoshi remained quiet for a second and went off to get the same kind of hat Krad had and witnessed the many parasites all over his body.

"This is unbelievable...how had Daisuke survived so long without having these attacking him until now?" Krad stared at Daisuke's body, frowning as he made an insertion point in Daisuke's bare arm, the parasite surrounded by his arms spread, forming together and pushing the needle point out. Krad stared as the needle flew out of his hands and he stared with a terrified gaze. Satoshi had also witnessed the same thing, were the parasites...protecting Daisuke?


Dark dragged himself to the front door of the Hiwatari mansion, glaring at the front door as he slammed it many, many times. Dark growled underneath his breath, he was REALLY starting to hate the Hiwataris. How DARE they take Daisuke, without HIS permission! And LORD knows what they could be possibly be doing with his younger 'brother'. Dark shuddered as dark images crossed his mind and he increased his fury in slamming the door. Krad who looked deadly serious opened the door, but Dark wasn't scared, he was as serious as Krad,

"where's Daisuke?" Krad turned away,

"Follow me." Dark frowned and followed the Hiwatari but couldn't help but be interested in his surroundings, many blank canvases were all around, as though there were paintings before, but they disappeared somehow. Dark continued to follow Krad carefully as they went upstairs and Dark blinked as Krad threw him a strange hat, "Put that on."

"Why?"

"There's something with Daisuke that you need to see." Dark's heart tightened and he followed Krad in a fury as he placed the hat on him, urging the other to hurry up. Krad continued to frown as they reached Satoshi's room where the redhead laid. Dark found no problems with him right away, but then he saw the many weird bright colors surrounding Daisuke from his feet and up,

"What the hell are those?" Dark demanded, grabbing Krad for the answers. Krad just stared back coldly, waiting for the violet-haired man to put him down. When Dark found out he wasn't going to get any information this way he growled and placed Krad down,

"They're a type of parasites, more commonly known as ghosts." Dark froze and stared at all of them, so many? Dark then noticed Satoshi sitting next to Daisuke, looking at him with a bright light, examining Daisuke's face carefully.

"So...all those things are..." Dark spoke, not quite sure how to trust if this was an actual fact or not. Krad nodded,

"Many spirits haunt your little brother, but that's not what's wrong." Dark glared, there was more? "The spirits are actually protecting him from any physical harm, and usually the ghosts end up just haunting a person to the death..."

"What's so wrong about that?"

"If the ghosts continue to live through his body, he'll eventually be strained so much that he'll want to do suicide." Satoshi spoke for the first time since Dark entered that room and he looked deadly silent and ill, glaring at all the parasites through Daisuke's body.

"What can we do about it?" Dark asked, panicking inwardly. Satoshi and Krad looked at each other then back at Dark,

"The thief." Dark rose one eyebrow,

"The thief?"

"The thief, Dark Mousy, he has the cure." Dark stared with wide-eyes in shock, what? Dark had the cure?

"Capture him-"

"And find the cure." Dark stared, terrified for a few moments and then he stared down at Daisuke,

"And if I can't?"

"Daisuke will die."


"WHAT?" A loud shout covers the room as A, D and Daisuke stare at me with wide eyes,
"Whew...well that was a part of the idea...but now I've got it really interesting..." I smirk confidently and they continue staring at me.
"You're insane."
"That I am."
"Oh my god."
"Hehehehe..." Daisuke sweatdrops,
"To the reviews!"

Les Scribbles
"Oh wow, you didn't faint this time."
"Shut up!" I glare then cough, blushing slightly, "Yes inspiration is indeed a very wonderful thing." I sigh, "That was the best pick up line ever wasn't it? It was based off of something I said to my new boyfriend...he blushed so darkly he nearly got a nose bleed." I chuckle evilly then cough, looking around, "Daisuke was pretty clever in that part, which I find awesome because a clever Daisuke is a wonderful thing to see...What are you wondering about the blades?" I then shrugged, "Ah well, Yes Krad knows Dark is Dark but Dark doesn't remember because of the parasites that have been haunting Daisuke, they've ripped out a part of Dark's memories and given them to Daisuke."
"You just gave her a spoiler..."
"...So?"
"Nevermind."
"I'm glad you squealed a lot during the last chapter, and I think the colors were kind of explained out here, and thank you for reassuring me...well I hope you read and liked this chapter too!"

Akira
"So it's either Krad's narcissistic or incest-filled...Well right now it would actually be considered incest, for instance, I have a sister and we share the same genes because they came through our mother and father, there may have been a little decoding on what may be different about us but we still inherited the same certain genes and DNA, so it would be considered incest here, but don't worry, I have something to change that in the future...well thanks for your review!"

"That's all?"
"Didn't we have this conversation before?"
"Yes."
"..."
