Don't own DNAngel
Dark and Sen were trying their best to wake Ness up, but it appeared that the shock was too much for her. Suddenly Krad appeared at her side.
"She hasn't woken up yet," Sen said standing. Her black wings were fluttering behind her. Dark stood too as Krad knelt down and picked Ness up.
"I'm taking her to her room," he said in an almost sad voice. Dark narrowed his eyes at the tone. In the few months that they had been forced together, Krad had changed for the better and they had actually been getting along. So, when Krad sounded sad, Dark wanted to know why.
Amethyst eyes turned to Satoshi, who was in a surprisingly good mood. He had been in such a mood since returning to the house.
Once Krad was out of the room, Dark turned to him. "What did you do?"
Satoshi and Risa both looked at Dark with surprise in their eyes. "Whatever do you mean Dark?" Satoshi said.
Dark slammed his fist on a nearby coffee table. "You know exactly what I mean. What the hell did you say to Krad to make him act like that?"
"Nothing that wasn't true," Satoshi said in his cold voice. He hadn't spoken like that in years, but it was obvious that it was meant for Dark. Dark narrowed his eyes.
"What exactly did you say?"
"That I didn't like him and that I wanted him to stay away from my family. Once I pointed out the reasons why he understood."
Risa gasped. "But Ness loves him. How could you break her heart like that?"
"Better now than later. He'll be leaving tomorrow and then I won't have to worry about that bastard ever again. Honey," Satoshi said to Risa," he is the reason I never wanted sons. I couldn't deal with the fact that my son would have to go through the pain and suffering I did."
Risa narrowed her eyes and stood. "I think that you forget sometimes that it was Dark and Krad both that helped us to meet each other and for my sister and Daisuke to realize their feelings for each other."
"I know that, but Daisuke is so different than I am."
"No kidding, you are much more uptight than he is," Sen said before realizing her mistake. Both Satoshi and Risa were looking at her now with curious expressions.
"How do you know Daisuke and my sister?" Risa asked. Sen groaned she really didn't want to do this right now.
"My name is Sen Evans."
"Evans? Why does that sound familiar?" Satoshi said with a slight scratch of his head. He turned to Risa. "Didn't their daughter marry some guy named Evans?"
"Yes, and they moved away because of his job." Risa turned back to Sen. "What exactly are you getting at?"
"You know how you are Ness' grandparents. Well, Daisuke Niwa and Riku Niwa are mine. You are my Great-Aunt and Great-Uncle that I have never met."
If knowing that Dark and Krad were both alive wasn't shock enough for one day, Sen was sure that meeting her would be and even bigger one, if that was possible.
Both Risa and Satoshi sat down, too much in shock to speak.
Krad gently laid Ness down on her bed and just stared at her. She was so peaceful while she slept that he didn't want to leave her. He gently touched her bare arm and smiled. There was no pain, no suffering this time like that past few months. He could hold her in his arms, love her properly, and kiss her without any fear of hurting her.
Krad's smile fell, but how long would it last? After they completed the prophecy, what would happen to him and Dark?
Krad kicked off the sneakers he had been wearing and slid into bed next to Ness. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly to him, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.
"I can hold her now," he thought, "if only this once, I can hold her."
"Krad?"
Ness' voice startled him and he almost fell right out of the bed, but Ness' arms were around him, holding him to her.
"Don't leave me," she said against his chest. Krad looked down at her. She was glowing, like she had before when near him or Dark, but this time it was different. Her hair was getting shorter and lighter.
Ness looked up at him with her now green eyes. Krad looked at her surprised. "I had forgotten that this is what you really looked like," he said as he gently ran his fingers through her short hair. Ness blinked before sitting up and looking into her vanity mirror.
Her hair and eyes were back to normal; it was like nothing had ever happened. Krad sat up next to her with a smile on his face.
Ness raised a hand and ran it through her hair. "It's amazing," she said. "I was actually getting used to having dark hair, but now I'm back to normal."
Krad just looked at her like she was the most precious thing in the world. Ness smiled as she watched him through the mirror. She turned to him.
"Did…did you hear what I said…when you were in the closet?"
"Yes," Krad said smiling as she turned a violent shade of red and was doing her best not to look at him.
"I…I…"
Krad leaned down next to her ear and gently whispered. "I love you too."
Ness gasped before she turned to Krad. He was looking at her with such gentleness that Ness felt like she could cry. She smiled instead and pulled Krad towards her for a kiss.
It started off innocent enough, but as time went on the kiss grew more fevered, more passionate. Before Ness knew it she was lying back on her bed with Krad's body over hers and her hands were already working on untucking his shirt.
Krad didn't know how they had ended up that way, but he didn't care. Screw what Satoshi had said. He was going to find a way to stay with her even if it killed him. Krad gently worked his way down her neck as Ness worked her way under his shirt.
Neither heard anyone call them for dinner, and neither of them cared. By the time Sen went to check on them, they were lying asleep in each other's arms after showing how much they loved the other.
Sen smiled as she headed back to the kitchen. She was happy for them and would keep quiet about the newest step in their relationship until Satoshi was gone.
Krad and Ness slept peacefully, without a care in the world. He held her tightly in his arms after making passionate love to her only a few hours ago. Neither noticed the bright light that surrounded them before becoming concentrated on Ness' stomach and disappearing.
