Disclaimer: Do I look like the great Yukiru Sugisaki to you? No? Well then guess who owns DN Angel.

No I am not dead… well not yet. February was a crazy month for me, so I'm hoping to finish revisions sooner in March. Thanks for waiting so patiently.

Wings of Darkness

Chapter Three

Dark's POV

Like hell I'm going to be a scientist. Why can't these idiots understand that already? Or do I have to be the one to explain it to them… some teachers. Science is useless to teach to people like me. I have me, my life…. And that's all that matters.

Dark pressed a button on his bracelet. Immediately running could be heard in the hallways and a fourth of the gang barged into the room. Not all the gang members could fit inside so most of them were at the door waiting. They all bowed at Dark and then glared at any of the students that were staring at them. It had been implemented into their natures to be cold and uncaring – courtesy of their leader.

He stood, "Nothing here is of interest to me. We'll be leaving."

The teacher opened her mouth to protest, but was cut off by a wave of Riku's hand. "Oomph!" the sensei was seized on each side by gang members.

"Take her away. She won't be coming to school for the rest of the week. I don't want to see her here, understood?" Daisuke grinned coyly at the teacher before dropping the sweet boy guise. His facial expression was indifferent and icy. "I would not resist if I was you, sensei. You are officially under house arrest. Unless you want to be punished, I suggest that you keep quiet for the next few days."

Eyes wide and frightened, the woman merely nodded while trembling. She knew the drill. Keep quiet, cooperate, and she would be back in no time. Cause trouble… and there would be trouble.

Dark, Daisuke, Risa, and Riku left the room, gang in tow. The students of the classroom gazed at the enviously, only to be shot down by the death glares given them by the gang members. It was disrespectful to stare at someone as important as their leaders.

Then again, the class knew the drill as well. Try and follow them – and their punishment would be worse than just house arrest. They were to stay in the classroom like good little children until the next period. There was to be a definite separation between gang members and the "goodie-two-shoes".

"What do you feel like doing Daisuke? Guns, swords, handfighting… or archery. Archery works as well."

The red-head looked at his older brother incredulously, "Archery?"

His only response was short and to the point, "I wanted to try something new."

Risa's POV

… archery…?

It sounds like the kind of sport… I might be good at. Could Dark possibly have mentioned it so that I wouldn't make a fool out of myself? I'm not exactly good with swords or street fighting… guns and archery might work though… long distance… no physical contact…

Daisuke didn't even need to respond. They were heading to the shooting arena. Looking at one another slightly hesitantly, the members did their best to hide their surprise. This was something none of them had ever done before.

"Get us some bows and arrows. Mine is in the black cabinet," Dark's voice was deep, mysterious, and commanding. Some whispering broke out among the gangsters, but was quickly silenced by a snap of Daisuke's fingers.

He smirked, "Didn't you hear Ni-sama's orders? Find private bows and arrows for me, Risa, and Riku. Dark has his own. Go get them."

Four second rank members bowed and hurried to do so.

"You others may go to the other shooting galleries. This one is for us alone. Top five stay with us," Risa twirled a strand of brown hair between her fingers carelessly. She held the bow handed to her lightly, inspecting it.

Dark set the arrow to the string and glanced over at the targets before swiftly releasing.

The arrow shot through the air, cutting the atmosphere in front of it – and hit the target dead center. He raised his bow again, but slower, for the other three to see. The top five were standing guard by the wall.

Grinning, Daisuke lifted his own bow in a way that was identical to his brother's.

"Look along the length of the arrow." That was all that Dark bothered to say, and both he and Daisuke shot their arrows at the same time, each of them hitting the center.

Risa and Riku clapped simultaneously. The elder of the twins raised her bow first and shot. It hit the rim of the center. "Che. This is harder than it looks." She restrung her bow, preparing to shoot, but Daisuke came up behind her and positioned her arms.

"Like this."

Hiding the blush on her face, Riku shot. Perfect.

"…arigatou… Daisuke…"

Risa also lifted her bow, doing her best to mimic her sister's stance as well as she could. Looking along the wood of the arrow, she matched it to the target's center and shot.

She was ashamed. The top five, Daisuke, Riku, and even Dark were looking at her. Her arrow had only hit the outer circle of the target. True, by normal standards this was excellent for a first try… but… she was a leader in the gang now.

"Ah!"

A warm breath tickled her cheek, and strong, capable hands took her own. Dark lifted her bow using her hands and showed her the proper way to stand.

"Look from the wood to the tip when you aim."

"Hai…"

Shutting one eye and looking, she let the arrow fly. It hit the center… not perfect like Riku's but still in the bull's-eye.

"Arigatou… Dark…?" he had already returned to where he was standing before and had begun to fire arrows with lightening speed. A tiny smile made its way onto Risa's lips.

Dark will be Dark after all.

Normal POV

"Hey, it's time to go." Daisuke checked his watch.

"Ah… ready then?" Riku took his arm and the two of them began strolling away. She waved back to her little sister and shouted, "We're taking the car."

"Very well. Go get my board and get Risa's blades," his arms were folded, but there was no hint of annoyance in Dark's voice. His orders were simple, and were quickly carried out as quickly as possible.

Waiting for Risa to strap her roller blades on, he motioned for the top five to disperse and let everyone know that they could do whatever they wanted. "Dark. I'm done," Risa stood and skated over to him.

He merely nodded and the two of them set out. Risa on roller blades, and Dark on his skateboard.

"We need to go to my place. There's some things you need to know and get before we do anything else," his deep violet eyes were facing straight ahead, and there was no sign of emotion on his face… he seemed almost detached.

Risa nodded, but her movements came to a stop as the two of them were quickly surrounded by teens clad in red and black.

"Dark. How very interesting. Fancy meeting you here, oh revered gang leader," there was a brunette who spoke cockily, but Risa was immediately on alert. She had no idea how to fight. This was going to be a problem.

As if sensing her unrest, Dark raised his gun… and shot it up into the air. Nearly half of all the Wings of Darkness members came flooding in. Looking away nonchalantly, Dark began boarding away, beckoning Risa to follow.

"We have more important business to attend to that play with pathetic amateurs like you." His voice held an eerie note of danger in it, and the other gang seemed to be paralyzed just by his words.

To be continued…

Sorry this is so short. XP
