Chapter 2

"Daiiiiisukeeeee!" A cheery voice called.

Red-headed and red-eyed Daisuke looked up. He stood up from the garden and smiled, waving at the brunette girls running over to him.

"Morning Daisuke!" the short haired one, Riku, stopped next to him and held her empty basket in front of her, her twin Risa right behind her.

Daisuke nodded. "Morning Harada-san." he greeted.

"Oh come on! Stop it!" she bashed playfully, blushing at the title. "Anyways, me and Risa get to go shopping today for the Hiwatari's. Wanna come?" she asked.

Daisuke spotted Risa, all dressed up, before he nodded. He wondered why she was all dressy for a shopping trip.

-

"Hey there Haradas! Shopping for the Angels again?" a girl called from the side of the road, at a shop cart.

"Shut it Hio!" Riku stuck her tongue out at the blonde, who gasped in pleasure.

"Daiiisukee! Come here and buy my products!" she waved cheerfully at him. Risa lightly took his hand, drawing his attention away from the cart, and shook her head.

"No Hio. We're on official business. Any distractions and we'll be late for lunch." she said curtly, dragging the red headed 14 year old away. He waved apologetically back at the pouting blonde.

"Come see me later then!" she called after them.

"She's so annoying." Riku scoffed as they shopped.

"Riku. Don't be so harsh." Daisuke tried.

"She's constantly trying to grab you away from the Hiwatari's!" she growled. Daisuke laughed nervously at the glare on her face.

"Hiwatari-kun is really special." Daisuke nodded when she calmed. Risa was looking around for something.

"He isn't here Risa." Riku sighed, exasperated. Risa pouted before she slumped her shoulders.

"Hm?" Daisuke blinked. "Dark-san will be visiting this afternoon, Harada-san." he spoke to Risa, who perked up. "He and Krad-sama have something to discuss, Hiwatari-kun told me so."

"Daisuke...Why do you call Krad by his first name and Satoshi by his last name?" Riku asked after paying for the groceries. Daisuke blinked before smiling slyly.

"Why don't you put honorifics after their names?" he asked.

"Because I don't." she blinked. "Hey! That wasn't fair!" Daisuke laughed lightly as they walked back to the Hiwatari castle.

-

The Hiwatari's were a special family. They had given birth to two angels. Their mansion was larger than most, but not by much. It had hundreds of rooms and a large garden in the back. Daisuke was usually found there, caring for the plants.

Krad was the first born angel to the Hiwatari family. He had long blonde hair, most just bangs, and golden eyes. His wings were white and went to the floor. He had a worse attitude than Satoshi, and he scared most of the humans. Krad thought he was better than everyone else.

Satoshi was the second born angel to the Hiwatari family. His hair was short and blue. His eyes were blue too and most people described them as ice. His wings were also white, and went to the floor. Satoshi was usually cold to people, but not because he thought he was better than them. Actually because he thought he was less than them.

Krad made sure he felt that way.

Dark was a Mousy. He was the only angel in the family and his mother kept hoping that one day Dark would suddenly gain powers to help her gain more money. He really didn't want powers, all the ladies wanted him already. He lived in a mansion east of the Hiwatari's. Dark's wings were black and his eyes were lavender purple.

He was probably the only one Krad thought worthy of his attention.

Daisuke, Riku, and Risa were humans that worked for the Hiwatari's. Riku and Risa Harada were twins. Risa was in love with Dark, or so she claimed. Daisuke was just the boy who saved Satoshi 5 years ago. He was Satoshi's best friend...or only friend.

Speaking of which, said blue haired angel was walking towards them as the three teens entered the castle.

"Daisuke!" he called softly, with a certain coldness to it. All three turned to him. "Where've you been?"

"Oh, we took him with us to the market." Riku explained. Satoshi turned cold eyes to the twins.

"Dark will be arriving soon. He'll be in the main hall." was his monotone response.

Risa gasped and rushed off towards the kitchen. Riku ran to catch up.

"Um...talk to you later Daisuke!" Riku called over her shoulder. Daisuke waved to her before Satoshi cleared his throat.

"Hiwatari-kun." Daisuke greeted in a soft way. Satoshi hugged him for a minute before taking his hand and leading him away.

"Ohayo Daisuke-kun." he smiled, the cold was gone. "I've been looking all over for you. Come on. I wanna go exploring."

Daisuke smiled at his friend's back, or...his wings...whatever. Satoshi was never cold to him.

"Hey hey hey!" a voice echoed in the hallway, causing the two to stop. "What? Not gonna say 'Hi' to me?"

18 year old Dark Mousy stood in a doorway that they had just passed by. His hair was only bangs, as he cut it that way. Dark Mousy wore his usual black clothing that was not as black as his wings.

"Dark." Satoshi greeted coldly.

"Hi there Dai!" Dark waved, ignoring Satoshi. Daisuke waved at him.

"It's nice to see you again Dark-san." the red head nodded. "Have you been to see Krad-sama yet?"

"Nope. I'm avoiding the twins, so I had to take the long way." he winked before ruffling Daisuke's hair. "See you two later."

As Dark walked down the hallway, Satoshi tugged lightly on Daisuke's hand.

"Daisuke..." he urged. Red eyes turned to him and then Daisuke began leading Satoshi down the hallway.

"We'll go there." he said kindly, and Satoshi smiled. (1)

Blue eyes blinked open and he turned his head. A petite looking red head lay next to him. His shirt was shredded and he had a cut on his left arm. Satoshi gasped, sitting up and laying the small form in a sitting position against him. He blinked, realizing the other was a boy.

He looked around, wondering what happened to the Airbore. His eyes widened, seeing white lily petals surrounding them. They were glowing in a mysteriously beautiful light that Satoshi didn't understand.

He remembered being hit by the Airbore and checked his shoulder. The red head's hair was brushing the rip in his white shirt, but there was no other sign that he had ever been injured. He sat in awe...

It was a miracle.
