By: Kai C.
Kai: (Grins) Yay, I FINALY got it done.
Krad: (blinks) What's..Superglue?
Satoshi: Something that the Niwa's should never let YOU play with!
Kai: Shut up, it makes comic relief.
Acko: And we like comic relief!
Satoshi: (points at Kai) No, she likes blood and gore.
Kai: That too.
Dark: Kai-chan doesn't own D.N.Angel. Please Read and Review.

Krad paced around the Niwa household looking for something to do, with Satoshi-sama and the Thief out looking for the Dust of Seven Souls it left the blonde haired demon with little to do but sit and worry.
"Oh, you must be Satoshi's other half, Krad," Kosuke remarked, stepping into the living room.
Krad turned to see a brown haired man staring at him. "Who are you?" he inquired icily, staring suspiciously at the new comer.
"I'm Daisuke's dad, Kosuke," Kosuke replied, smiling warmly at the blonde demon, "Nice to meet you."
"So you're the reason there's another Niwa in the world," Krad spat, picking up a small white tube off the coffee table by the couch.
Kosuke face faulted. "I guess you could say that," he replied, taking note of what was in Krad's hand, "Um…I wouldn't mess with that if I were you."
Krad gave a look of disgust as some of the clear gloop got onto his fingers. "Hold your tongue, Niwa," he growled, trying to wipe the sticky substance onto Emiko's couch only to get himself stuck. "What the hell is this stuff?"
Kosuke shook his head while trying to stifle a laugh. "Don't say I didn't tell you not to mess with that stuff," he stated matter of factly, poking his head into the basement door to call for his wife. "Emiko, we've got another problem!"

Dark smirked as he lifted up the yellow colored tape around the perimeter of the old mansion. "What a brilliant performance, Commander," he remarked, watching Satoshi limp towards him. The blue haired boy faltered slightly, but quickly regained his footing. Dark watched in amusement as Satoshi stopped and stood next to the thief. "You shouldn't be pushing yourself."
"Shut up," Satoshi growled, trying his best to hide the amount of pain he was in from Dark. "You would have had to do things the hard way if it wasn't for me."
Dark shrugged. "You took all the fun out of it for me, Hikari," he pouted.
Satoshi chose to ignore the thief's stupidity as he glanced around the room. The air was heavy with the stench of blood, making the blue haired boy feel as though he were going to throw up. Memories began to resurface as his eyes drifted to the chalk outlines of his father and Mio Hio. "No…not again," he mumbled, dropping painfully to his keens ripping out a few of his stitches in the process.
Dark whirled around when he heard the noise of Satoshi hitting the ground. "See, didn't I just get done saying how you shouldn't push yourself, but no…no one listens to the Phantom Thief….stubborn Hikari," he scolded, noticing the blood seeping through Satoshi's pant leg.
Dark, you are aware that Krad would kill us if he heard you talking about Satoshi that way, right? Daisuke interjected.
"And what Kradums doesn't know, won't hurt us Dai," he stated, kneeling down to the Commander's level.
Satoshi tried weakly to pick himself off the floor, but with no success. "I have to find The Dust of Seven Souls," he whimpered, while Dark ripped off a piece of cloth from his outfit and tied it around Satoshi's bleeding leg. "I don't need your charity."
Dark smirked at the comment. "Is that what you think this is?" he inquired, moving some of the matted bangs away from Satoshi's face. "You don't accept kindness to well, do you Satoshi?"
Satoshi's face turned a shade of bright red as Dark finished bandaging him up. "What would you know about the subject, Dark?" he asked.
"Plenty, I bet you didn't know Dai-chan thinks you look pretty cute when you blush like that?" Dark asked, standing up while getting screamed at from inside his head.
I DO NOT LOVE HIWATARI! Daisuke screamed, while sending mental images of sharp, pointed object in Dark's general direction.
"Geez, calm down Dai," Dark commented. "Can't you take a joke?"
Dark, now isn't the time to joke, Daisuke growled, we have to find the Dust of Seven Souls so that we can put Satoshi and Krad back together.
"Yah, yah, I know," Dark replied, brushing some of the matted bangs out of Satoshi's face before getting up to explore the area for the artifact. "Hey Creepy boy, what's this Hikari work of art look like?"
Satoshi was silent for a moment before he snapped out of his trace and looked over at Dark. "The only thing I remember is it was sliver and there was a purplish liquid inside the vile," he stated, wincing as his breath came in short gasps.
"Right, sliver and purple," Dark repeated, picking through the blood covered objects strewn across Mr. Hiwatari's desk. After a few minutes of searching, the thief thought the he had discovered the missing object. "Satoshi is this it?" after a few minutes of the Hikari's silence, Dark glanced over to find Satoshi lying on the floor, unconscious again. "That little shit, he passes out on me again."
Daisuke sighed. What did you expect, Dark? he asked. Hiwatari-kun is still really weak."
"I should just leave him."
"DARK!"
Dark rolled his eyes as he carefully picked Satoshi up, trying to be mindful of his injuries. "I was only kidding, Dai, calm down," he replied, spreading out his black wings as he prepared to take off. Satoshi whimpered as the cold night's wind blew through his hair making Dark sighed as he pulled the boy close trying to warm him. "I'll be so glad when this is over."

"I demand that you fix this, Niwa women!" Krad yelled, struggling to get free of the sticky goop that held him to the couch.
Emiko growled, as much as she hated the Hikari family she wasn't so cruel as to not help someone in need, but this was starting to wear on her last nerve. "What does it look like I'm doing, Hikari trash," she snapped, glaring at the blonde demon.
"I would watch your mouth, Niwa bitch, before I snap you in two," he snapped, deciding to take matters into his own hands and blast the arm of the couch effectively freeing himself of the sticky substance. "Problem solved."
"Why, you!" Emiko shrieked, attempting to lunge at Krad only to be held back by Kouske, "You ungrateful wretched Hikari!"
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything important?" a voice stated from the doorway. The three figures in the room looked over to see Dark standing in the doorway with the unconscious Satoshi held close in his arms.
Krad frowned when his saw the stated his young tamer was in. "What did you do to him, thief?" he spat, gliding across the room in a fluid motion and ripping Satoshi from Dark's arms. Satoshi let out a whimper and began to fuss as he curled tight up against Krad's chest.
Dark rolled his eyes at Krad's over protectiveness. "Watch it Krad, or you'll end up hurting him even more," he scolded, as the blue haired boy kept whining, "Satoshi is far too weak to be pushing himself, but he can't seem to sit still"
That's Hiwatari-kun for you, Dark, Daisuke piped in.
Krad gave Dark one last look of contempt before turning his attention to Satoshi, trying to quiet his fussing. "Hush now, Satoshi-sama," he whispered into the teen's ear as he rocked the boy back and forth. After a few moments of rocking the boy and running his fingers through his hair, Satoshi began to calm down and drift into a peaceful slumber again.
"Emiko, please tell me you held up your end of the bargain," Dark inquired, looking from Krad to Satoshi then back to the Hikari curse once more, "because I don't know how much more of this I can take."
Emiko glared at her son as she picked up her spell book and motioned for everyone to move to the basement where the ritual would be preformed. "You have no idea," she said, "You're not the one who had your enemy stick themselves to the couch."
"So that's why half the couch arm is missing," Dark remarked, before cracking up, "Nice going, Krad!"
Krad shot him a dirty look while Satoshi grabbed a fist full of his shirt. "Hold your tongue, Dark!" he snapped, causing Satoshi to stir in his arms. "Satoshi-sama?"
"What's going on?" Satoshi questioned, his words slurring slightly as he tried to wake himself up. "Where am I?"
"You're safe My Everything, at the Niwa's house." Krad replied, propping the boy up on his shoulder so that he could better see what was going on around him. "What is this ritual that involves my Satoshi?"
Emiko sighed as she turned the book so that everyone could see. "It appears to be almost the same as the one that was used to separate you two," she explained, eyeing the Hiakris, "it says to bring the two that was once one the blood of each is needed to mix with the dust of separation."
Satoshi's expression turned fearful as he buried his face in Krad's shoulder. "No blood," he muttered, his body beginning to shake like a leaf. Krad scowled and pulled his tamer closer to him. "No more blood."
Emiko sighed as she placed the book on the table. "There's a glitch in the spell though," she said, walking over to Satoshi who flinched away from her. "I don't think it would be wise to perform the spell in the boy's condition, as much as I want them out of my house."
"We should do it and get it over with," Dark argued, "We can worry about the complications later."
Emiko sighed and turned to Krad. "I leave this up to you, Hikari curse," she stated, "since I already know Satoshi is going to be difficult about it."
Krad nodded and nudged Satoshi. "Satoshi-sama, it would be better to get this done with," he reasoned, trying to coax the boy into agreeing with him. "We will be fixed and then Niwa can go back to taking care of you." He gave a sadistic smile as he mentioned the word 'Niwa'
Satoshi nodded hesitantly before Krad placed him in the magic formation that Emiko had drawn on the floor. Dark knelt beside the Commander, unwrapping the bandage around his wrist before pulling out a knife and holding it to Satoshi's wrist. The blue haired pulled away from the thief instinctively only to be firmly held in place by Dark. "Hold still or you're going to making it worse, Satoshi," he scolded while he dug the weapon into his wrist. Satoshi let out a cry of pain as he watched the river of his blood run into the vial. Next Krad was told to slit his wrist as well and add his blood with his tamer's and the Hikari artifact. "Now, what, Emiko?" Dark asked, trying to keep Satoshi conscious.
"Make him drink it, Dark."
Dark nodded and placed the vial to Satoshi's lips. "Come on Creepy boy, open up for me," he said, forcing the teen's mouth open and making him swallow a mixture of his blood. A bright light began to engulf the boy as Emiko started to read from the spell book, while Satoshi's screams filled the room. After a few moments the light dissipated and Krad was nowhere to be seen, leaving Satoshi to pass out cold in Dark's lap. Dark smiled, running his fingers through the unconscious boy's hair.
"Clean him up and then put him to bed, Dark," Emiko stated, beginning to pick up the blood covered mess she had created, "he needs to rest." Dark nodded and left to fix up Satoshi.
