Ice Angels
Frozen
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
"I don't see the fun in this," Satoshi complained as he jumped out of the sleigh, trying to get all the snow out from between his pants, in his pants, up his sleeves, and large clumps of ice clinging to his hair after both younger boys had collided with a large pile of snow and smashed into a snowman. A few children were crying sadly as the redhead tried to help them rebuild their creation.
"Well, you usually don't crash into snowmen," Daisuke said with a bright smile. The snow melted and ran down his neck and arms making Satoshi swallow. He was just to damn cute for his own good...
"Snowman?" Satoshi questioned and approached the boy and two little girls. They cried out again, brown hair swinging as their heads rocked about in cries.
"Yeah, could you help me? You just have to--Yeah like that!" Daisuke watched as Satoshi rolled a large orb of snow for the snowman's base and then with the help of the redhead made another, and finally the two little girls, Risa and Riku, helped them make the head. After the carrot, scarf, hat, and buttons had been found in the snow and deposited back where they belonged, Daisuke stood up and looked around.
"It's weird, I thought Krad-san and Dark were coming here..." Satoshi glanced over at the boy once more, wondering why he was referring to Krad in such a manner. Well, he was older, but was that the only reason why? Pondering this, the blunette suddenly started to wonder why he was here with this amber eyed boy anyway.
"Niwa-kun...?"
"Yes?" Daisuke was sitting down on the sled, waiting for Satoshi since they still had a way to go before they reached the end of the hill.
"It's...nothing," he muttered. Slowly, he seated himself on the back of the sled and wrapped his arms around Daisuke's waist, resting his forehead on the boy's back as he felt Daisuke kick off. They flew down the hill, but Satoshi didn't seem to notice. He couldn't help but pull the warm boy closer, all the while his giggles reaching the Hikari boy. He couldn't tell why, but he just wanted to hold onto that warmth forever, so close to him, so near. He cursed when they reached the end of the hill and Daisuke hopped up from the sled. Still, he followed Daisuke over to the bonfire, and any time he could, he glanced over at Daisuke's skin in the fire, and how soft it looked. When the redhead caught his stare, he blushed. Satoshi only averted his gaze and looked back down at the fire. Once they were done warming back up they made their way up the hill. Satoshi fell behind, which didn't surprise Daisuke as the boy was very skinny and looked like he could break any second. Daisuke smiled happily, waving Satoshi to come to the top of the hill with him.
Satoshi looked back up at Daisuke who was happily trudging up the snow, never letting sadness sink into him. Why was he so damn happy, and cute?
"Niwa," he mumbled softly but the redhead didn't hear him, and the whisper was left to the wind to keep close, forever holding it a secret.
"Why do you seem so familiar?" Daisuke never once heard those soft words.

"Krad! Krad?" Dark had left the sled at the very start of the woods, and had started through the many trees, pushing past them as he looked around for Krad. It was a good thing the snow was light as at the moment he was following footsteps that were left in the snowfall. He tried to remember what was in these woods. They were pretty dense, and he'd heard about people often getting lost. He'd even heard there was wild animals and shivered again. It was deadly quiet, as the laughter of children playing had faded away and Dark soon realized he was in a very deep part of the woods. The trees lay barren around him, sometimes screeching in the soft wind, with snow huddled closely on the bark. Branches swayed about angrily, threatening to snap and distrub the silence.
After about ten more minutes, Dark found that he had been going in circles. He cursed and retraced his steps. Several times he had to compare shoe size and found, with much disappointment, that he and Krad's feet were about the same size. Several more times he circled the woods and muttered under his breath, "Where's some bread crumbs when you need them?"
Finally he found footsteps leading off into another more clear section of the woods. Something rustled next to him and Dark jumped, coming eye to eye with red orbs. He blinked and suddenly, something let out a, "Myuuuu!" He tilted his head to find a rabbit like thing, much like Daisuke's Wiz, staring at him in confusion. The rabbit thing was black, with curls at the end of its ears and tail, several curls on its soft fur coat. It blinked again and licked Dark's nose, jumping onto his shoulder. The animal rubbed its cheeks against Dark's and he sighed.
"I bet you're cold, huh?" he asked and the creaure nodded in reply.
"Myyuuu!"
"Alright, you can be called...Kiz? No...Riz. Is that a candy or..." Dark began mumbling to himself as he made his way through the woods.
"Myyuuu?"
"Maybe Miz? I mean you say Myu...Whatever the hell that is." Suddenly Kiz, or Ritz, or whatever Dark decided to name it, hissed and bit down on Dark's hand that had been stroking the pet.
"Hey!" he yelled angrily.
"Well, I was going to call you Angel. We'll stick with Riz though. I guess...Sorry, I'm not good with names.."
Again, Riz hissed angrily and glared forward. Dark stuffed the creature in his coat and she snuggled close to his warmth, finally ceasing her angry fit. Something in the woods gave a sickening crack and Riz hissed once more, jumping away from Dark's coat. The teen watched as the creature ran off, her black fur standing out against the white snow. Dark however, ventured forward trying to find the cause for the animal's fit. He pushed through several more bushes until he came upon a frozen patch of water. He gazed out at the water until something caught his eyes. A hole, several feet wide was at the other end of the frozen pond. His stomach dropped and he ran over. Maybe a deer had simply fell in or...
Nervously, he glanced down into what seemed an abyss. The water was strangely silent and still. A few bubbles emitted from the bottom and Dark saw a flash of gold.
"KRAD!"
