Jade-san: I haven't been writing much lately because I ran across a few stories that were in their 30's and 40's in chapter length and I haven't known exactly what I was going to put in this chapter… But, the best way to find out it's to start writing. My mind has little impact on what comes out anyway. Everything I write is all my fingers fault! I never get much say in what I write unless I force the story onto paper… Anyone ever have that problem?

Oh, the doctors think it is my Thyroid going off to why I had a temperature of 96.6F after sitting in all those clothes for a few hours (I was like that for 4 hrs) My grandma's Thyroid went off when she was 16 and I am 14 currently so… Oh, who here of my reviewers has Carpel Tunnel? If any? I got it when I was 13. Everyone keeps telling me I'm too young to have it though…

If any of you happen to be wondering, no, the boy in the shadows is NOT Argentine. Though I have been thinking of him too much which is where the idea for this boy came from…

Disclaimer-No, as sad as it can possibly be, DNAngel is not, and as far as I know, never will be called mine, even if I do become a Multimillionaire when I get older… I doubt Yukiru Sugisaki would sell it to me…


Chapter Four: The Second Key

Krad was following behind Satoshi, highly annoyed. He liked it better when his Satoshi-sama was constantly telling him to "shut up!", now he was just ignoring his presence. Over the hundreds of years since they he had gotten his body to himself he had gotten used to Darks constant babbling… Everything being quiet was just too weird to him now.

They came to a large bush-enclosed family tomb and peered in from the shadows where they wouldn't be seen. Good thing too, undisguised demons where everywhere!

"Eh." Satoshi muttered beneath his breath, "This is going to be messy… Let's go get Dark and Niwa-chan."

They both turned around and darted off without letting any of the demons inside the tombs outer wall know of their presence moments before.

Once a fair distance away they both took to the skies, Krad, for once, startling Satoshi with his wings, Satoshi had thought he would have had to carry Krad when he suggested flying.


Daisuke and Dark were having a quietly animated conversation about toasters while still looking around when Satoshi and Krad dropped down from the heavens.

"Toasters!" Krad asked quirking an eyebrow while Satoshi looked slightly confused if you looked hard enough and had been studying his facial expressions for a few hundred years.

"Yeah! I was telling him how they still, after all these years don't work right! THEY BURN ALL TOAST!"

(AN: I've used a toaster before that wouldn't burn anything, much less toast it. I had the thing going for 10 minutes and the toast was still not toasted! Slightly harder? Sure, toasted! NO!)

"Dark… That's entirely your fault. I don't burn the toast. Why are we talking about toast anyway?"

"That's because you glare at it!"

Krad gave Dark his best Death Glare.

"See! Anything would do as you wish after that!"

"Off subject." Satoshi interrupted, "I found the cross," he didn't bother telling how, just where. After describing what was around it and who was there all four of them alighted to the sky and went off to Dark's and Krad's house to prepare.

They landed a few blocks away from their house as Krad explained, they didn't really want the neighbors to become to suspicious, after 900 years without AN: that tells you about how old Satoshi Hikari and Daisuke Niwa are, the Demons were grading how old Daisuke was on how strong they thought he was. They were WAY off weren't they? Even though Daisuke is a strong Angel Daisuke and Satoshi, 800 of them with them being in their own bodies they had been to many places. After all, you can't stay in one place forever if you don't age!

Krad's keys clicked together as he pulled them out of his pocket and inserted them in the lock turning it to the left and back again he pushed the door inward only to be nearly knocked down the stairs by a big black mutt that was barking insanely.

"Padfoot! Osuwari!" Krad barked, the dog obeyed at once, his head pressed against Krad's thigh, his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth happily. After all, his master was home. Late. Must. Glue. To. Master.

"Everyone, this is my dog Padfoot. And Dark, NO! I still will not let you roast him."

The happy dog that was still trying to glue itself to him kind of ruined Krad's sophisticated air. Everyone stared and Dark rolled his eyes.

"Indoors! Now!" he stalked past them and into the kitchen. "Hey! Do you need something to eat?"

"Sure!" Daisuke and Dark chirped at once while Satoshi sighed.

"I'll be right back…" he left to go hunt down some poor evil person.

"Nani? What is he—never mind, I don't really want to know… Hey! Kraddy? Do you need some help in there?"

"Once again, I tell you now Dark, YOU COME IN HERE AND I WILL BEAT YOU SENSELESS WITH MY SPATULA!"

"Iie!" he squeaked, "I only burnt down half of the kitchen last time! Half!"

Krad came in twenty minutes to find the two mindlessly staring at each other looking half asleep, he actually thought Dark had fallen asleep so he hit him with his spatula and dropped his apron over his head to see if there was any response.

A snore was emitted, "Get to the table."

Daisuke suddenly seemed to come out of his half awake state and answered Krad's unspoken question, "Staring contest."

The night pretty much stayed at that pace and Padfoot never did seem to unglue any part of his head from Krad's body, in fact he slept with Krad on the bed for once.

Dark got the Couch of Doom. It was called the Couch of Doom for two reasons, one, he's not sleeping with his boyfriend, two, it's really, really, really, really, really uncomfortable!

Daisuke got the spare room, and Satoshi didn't come home that night.


"Okay. Dark and I will use our energy bombs to attack and distract, Satoshi-sama (they found him attacking a piece of bread that morning) will go in with his katana, and Niwa-kun will take down the shield around the Key and provide backup. Do I have that right?"

"Yep," Dark agreed.

"Let's go then," Satoshi said, heading out the door and into the broad daylight. Off to the Cemetery.


Crackling black and dark violet energy orbs came into existence in Dark's hand while hissing white and gold energy orbs appeared in Krad's. Darks energy seemed to absorb the daylight around it while Krad's seemed to push it away.

Throwing them down from the air where they hovered, beating their wings they dodged a few bullets and other flying objects that came in retaliation from the angry and loosing demons below.

Dark groaned aloud dodging another projectile that came his way and nearly pierced his wings, that was right, he wasn't using Wiz's wings, he thought it would be a little too dangerous for his favorite little familiar.

A flash of red energy that resembled a wave of blood and light at the same time followed behind the blue Vampire as he slashed through the Demons with his now blood coated katana, turning all the demons who were now nearly dead into dust, sending their souls to pass judgment on the Scales of Heaven once again. (AN: they do this because some Demons don't do anything that harms others in their life as a Creature of Darkness, thus giving them another chance to go to heaven. People deserve second chances if they learn from their mistakes.)

Daisuke finished mumbling the other spell he was working on at the same time and his eyes seemed to glow as he clapped, his first spell that had been aiding Satoshi fell and he concentrated his remaining energy into dropping the shield.

"Done, Hikari-kun!" he called stepping into a place where Satoshi's could spot him.

Nodding, he dodged forward avoiding everyone as he headed up to the cross. Touching the cross he was alert enough to notice that when the white light came, twisting around his arms—this one went as far as to twist around his chest, as if afraid he would run away—it also created a barrier around as to protect what ever was inside at the moment.

As he entered the darkness where he could gain the Key he saw an alarmed Krad and Dark out of the corner of his eye.


"What the!" Dark looked like he was going to dive bomb the Demon near Daisuke causing the creature to run away, landing he sprinted over to Dai, "Nani! What is going on, Dai-chan? What is that?"

"The Guardian of the Key," he answered as Krad came to land next to them too. "The Guardian will give him the Key."

"What do the Keys look like?" Krad inquired.

"This," he pulled a long chain out of his shirt that had the First Key threaded on, the white stone seemingly glowing more than the light around it.

"Cool," was all he could say.


"Konichiwa!" a cheerful voice exclaimed, the person the voice belonged to looked hyper enough to bounce through the roof had there been one. "Are you Satoshi Hikari! I was told to be expecting you!" surprisingly enough, the person sitting on the cross was not female, it was a boy with emerald green eyes and poppy red hair, his white clothing was starkly bright in the darkness and the key was tied around his neck. Perched precariously in his hair was a pretty green butterfly barrette, combing some of his hair out of his face. Dark green butterflies went around the hems of his clothing too.

"Are you going to open the Gates to Heaven?" he was grinning from ear to ear despite the fact that he sounded like he was reciting a dull like in a play and wasn't very happy to be doing so.

"Hai, that is my aim." He was watching the now still bouncy boy.

"GREAT!" he looked like he was about ready to bounce off his perch and give him a giant bear hug, "Here!" he tossed him the Key, silver and antiquated, a glowing green stone in its center before releiseing them and fading from sight.
