Quiny: Helloooooooo there! Great Detective Quiny here to bring you the latest chapter of Mad-Vixxen's fiction and info on her current status! Now, you're all probably wondering why the hell M-V hasn't update for like ages, and why is it that I, the great Detective Quiny, am doing the author's notes, or in this case the editor's note, instead of our dear friend Mad-Vixxen? Well, it is sad to say that M-V has been denied the privileges of using the Internet and had her laptop taken away from her.
Yeah, the poor girl. Her dad found her report card and now she is grounded till she gets better grades. Poor girl's depressed but that doesn't stop her from writing this fic, oh no! She's been writing in her notebook and gave the job of typing and posting the fic to me. And now… I have full access to her account! I can write whatever I want for the editor's note! BWA HAH HA HAH HA! XP
Though, I must warn all of you that future updates will be slow due to the delay and well, she's depress! Of course she won't be in the mood to write! Being the Internet addict she is, unable to access to the net is like denying her to breath! So go easy on her, 'kay?.!
To the topic of this fic: don't worry, its still ongoing. Just with a few delays. Though I did browse through her earlier chapters and do have something to say about it… NO MATTER WHAT SHE SAID IN CHAPTER 6, I AM NOT A STALKER!.!.! I was investigating! Investigating! Got that? I mean, yeah, I follow cute guys around, went through their mail and even took pictures of them secretly but I'm not one of those obsessive fan girl type that drools and squeals and yada, yada, yada!
Ok? Got that? Good…
About this chapter: conveniently, this chapter is all about stalking (oh, I'm so gonna kill M-V!). In all honesty, M-V hasn't actually finished with chapter 7 (it is chapter 7, right?). What she wrote was too long so we broke it into smaller parts. Part 1 is the beginnings of Daisuke being a stalker. Do enjoy!
Disclaimer: M-V told me to remember to write the disclaimer; though I don't see the point… you all know she doesn't own DN Angel. In fact, I don't think anyone on Fan Fiction does… but, since she insists on it: Mad-Vixxen does not own DN Angel. All she has are dreams of Satoshi and Daisuke making out near a fireplace, drinking hot chocolate while being trapped in a blizzard in some cabin near a snowy mountain. It's a very good dream though…
XxX-Part I-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Waaaah… Wiz! What are you doing?.!" Daisuke screamed at the bunny-like shape-shifter.
" Hmmm… it looks like he's devouring your cupcakes, Dai!" Dark mused thoughtfully, crossing his arms.
" I can see that! Thank you for stating the obvious!" Daisuke retorted sarcastically, grabbing Wiz away from his half eaten cupcakes,
" Kyyuuu…?"
" Argh! Wiz! You stupid greedy white ball of fur!" Daisuke reprimanded the innocent looking bunny, wagging his finger at it as he scold Wiz, " why can't you keep your paws off my cupcakes? I turn around for one second and you've already stuffed your mouth with it! Don't you know that the cupcakes are meant for Hiwatari-kun? Now, what am I suppose to give him? I can't give him a half eaten cupcake!"
Daisuke stretched Wiz's cheeks as a form of punishment. Wiz kept kyuu-ing pitifully until Daisuke let go.
" Kyuuu…" Wiz rubbed his sore cheeks as the bunny pouted at the red head.
" Next time, don't eat other people's food without asking, especially when they're gifts for other people, or there will be no more treats for you, got it?"
" Kyuuu…" Wiz gave a huff as he hopped off away from Daisuke.
Daisuke watched the shape-shifter go then turn to look at his cupcake and frowned. " Mou… I can't give this to Hiwatari-kun."
" Enough with 'Hiwatari-kun', will you?" Dark sighed exasperatedly, running a hand through his dark purple locks, " can't you think of something else for a change?"
Daisuke ignored his alter ego and instead let out a scream of frustration. " Arghhh! What am I suppose to do? What am I suppose to do? I can't give a half eaten cupcake as a present!"
A vein throbbed dangerously on his forehead, as Dark closed his eyes and gritted his teeth in annoyance. " Oi… you weren't listening to a word I was saying, were you?"
" Present?"
A new voice suddenly entered the room.
Daisuke turned to see Emiko standing at the doorway holding a basket of freshly cleaned laundry, a curious look on her face.
" Okaa-san!"
Daisuke blushed at the sight of his mother and tried to hide the cupcake from view. Unfortunately, Emiko had already caught the sight of the hidden treat.
" Oooh… Dai, is that what you made in Home Economics? And you're going to give it away as a present? How sweet of you, Daisuke!" Emiko trilled girlishly. Daisuke blushed at his mother's words. Emiko eyes widen before stating, " but oh dear… it looks like Wiz took a bite out of it, huh?"
Daisuke gave a grunt and muttered about greedy shape shifting rabbits that ruins presents. Emiko giggled at how adorable her son is.
" Ahhh… don't worry, Dai-chan! I'm sure we could whip up a new batch of cupcakes, ne?" Emiko exclaimed with a wink.
Daisuke blinked then widens his eyes and said, " what? 'We'? You're gonna help me?"
Emiko nodded enthusiastically. " Haaai… I'm gonna help you make the yummiest cupcake treats there ever was!"
" Okaa-san! Arigato!" Daisuke ran to his mother and hugged her tightly. " You're the best!"
" Oho ho ho ho!"
XxXSatoshi scanned all the files and data he had collected, yet none of them contained the information he needed.
" Damn it!" he tossed the files away and laid back in his arm chair, taking off his useless glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. " Why doesn't any of these useless files tell me how to break the curse?.!"
Satoshi felt a headache coming so he pushed away from his desk and got up to his kitchen to get some kind of headache reliever. There was only Tylenol so he assumed that'd do.
With a sigh, Satoshi popped the pill into his mouth and took a sip of water. His headache throbbed dully as he waited for the pain to go away. Yet, it never stopped the thoughts that drifted through his mind.
The young commander had been researching and grabbed any information he could find about The Fallen Angel's Love Medicine but to no avail. All documents had stated who the creator was, what time it was created and the reaction of the society to its creation but nothing about its curse and how to break it.
If only there was someone who has infinite knowledge on the Hikari arts…
Satoshi gave a snort. Well, that was a foolish thought… of course that someone exist, especially when that someone spends their whole lifetime in stealing the Hikari arts, even for generations. It was more than a fact that the Niwas probably has a secret underground storage filled with Hikari loots and records. They even have Dark; a being that had been around for centuries and had experience with the Hikaris firsthand. No one can beat that...
Satoshi actually smacked himself! What was he saying?.! He has someone who has actually been with the Hikaris, probably even enjoys spending his time in tormenting them as well… Satoshi couldn't believe that he was kinda slow for a genius…
" Krad! Krad! Wake up!" Satoshi yelled inside his head.
If truth were told, he actually didn't like the idea of asking Krad for help, but desperate times called for desperate measures…
" KRAD! Arise, you loaf! I need to know something!"
" What the HELL is your problem, boy?.!" Krad suddenly snapped, obviously irritated by the rude awakening. " Have you no manners? Don't you know its very uncivilized to wake someone up from their peaceful slumber?.!"
" Don't talk to me about being uncivilized!" Satoshi retorted back, " Now listen carefully. I want to ask for your information."
" You know, I'm compelled to not tell you anything, since you have rudely rose me from my rest," Krad grumbled grumpily, " but since you rarely ask for my service, I'll just follow along. Now, what is it that you want to know?"
" Its the Fallen Angel's Love Medicine," Satoshi said anxiously, " you did say that a Niwa had fallen for the creator, Hikari Ai-san, did you not?"
" That is correct," Krad nodded curtly.
" Well… how bad was it? I mean, what exactly did the Niwa tried to do?"
" Well… " Krad paused thoughtfully, " I don't really remember the details but from what I could gather from my host that time, the Niwa couldn't stop thinking about Ai oujo-sama. He would always declare his undying love for her whenever he got the chance. Wherever oujo-sama would go, he'd always be there as if he popped up from thin air. He was probably stalking her, now that I think about it… oh, and did I told you that the Niwa returned all the Hikari artifacts that was stolen?"
" Yes… I think you did…"
Krad gave a chuckle at that memory. " Yeees…. That was probably the climax of the hilarity of all! The Niwa household went livid when they learned that all the treasures they work so hard in stealing were returned. Some even went as far as to arrived at the Hikari doorsteps and demanded for the Hikari arts that they've ' rightfully stolen' to be given back! Even Dark was pissed off, he vented his anger at me actually since he won't hit oujo-sama being the gentleman he is…"
The last part was actually scoffed by Krad but Satoshi took in this little piece of information with astonishment.
" Wait… Dark?.!" Satoshi repeated, " you mean, Dark was there as well?.!"
" Well, obviously. What do you expect? If I was there, surely Dark would be too. In the male generation, of course. The said Niwa was his host that time, so he was quite frustrated with the curse that fell on his tamer-"
" Hold it!" Satoshi interrupt, " Dark was there. His last host was a victim of Amortentia and now Daisuke is one too. So why isn't Dark doing anything? I mean, he probably knows how to cure Daisuke… how come he doesn't seem to know anything about the potion?"
" Ahhh… that…" Krad alleged musingly, " Well, that's because Dark has no recognition of his ex-host being a love-sick idiot. Because shortly after curing them, Ai oujo-sama erased their memories with a powerful memory wipe spell. She was an excellent magic user, I must say, and I respect her for that!"
" Okay… since we're on the topic of Ai-san curing the Niwa… how did she cure him anyway?"
" Uhh… well… that…" Krad broke off with a cough, looking rather sheepish as he answered rather quickly, " … Idon'tknowhowshedunnit!.!.!"
" What?"
Krad cleared his voice and calmly repeated, " I said… I don't know how she done it!"
" WHAT?.!"
" Well, what did you expect?" Krad retorted defensively, " she was the secretive type, all Hikaris are! She never said what must be done to cure the curse!"
Satoshi gave a groan, feeling another wave of headache coming on. " Great! That is just great!" he muttered through gritted teeth in frustration, " I don't know if it could get any worse than this!"

Daisuke stared at the widespread assortment of cupcakes, muffins, cookies and other types of sweet treats that lay in front of him with awe. He didn't know how it happened, but the intention of making just cupcakes had expanded into making a whole bakery shop of baked goodies. How Emiko had talked him into making them he still didn't know…
" Uhh… anou… okaa-san? Don't you think this is a bit… much?.!" Daisuke asked tentatively, a large sweat drop falling down his forehead.
Emiko blinked innocently and put on a cheerful grin. " Ehhh, iie… of course not, Dai-chan!" Emiko chirped brightly, " one can never have too much of my yummy baked goods. They'll always want more! Besides… variety is good. You'll never know which one they'll like and which one they don't, so its best if you make an assortment so they'll find one that suits their liking!"
Daisuke contemplates on his mother's words and silently agreed that she has a point. After all, Satoshi might not like the cupcake he previously intended to give him, so if he gives an assortment of baked treats, Satoshi might at least like one of the goods.
" But I don't think we'll worry about that. After all, Riku-chan likes all my cooking so I don't think she'll complain, ne?" Emiko giggled slightly looking rather pleased.
Daisuke blinked. Wait… Riku?.!
" Uhh… Dai?" Dark hissed, " I think Emiko still thinks you and Riku are still together…"
" Anou… 'Kaa-san?" Daisuke started hesitantly twiddling his thumbs, " I think you've got it all wrong. I'm not gonna give it to Riku…"
" Eh? But why not, Daisuke?"
" Etto… about that… the truth is… I broke up with Harada-san!" Daisuke said in a rush.
" Ehhh… Nani?.! Itsu?.! Doushite?.!" Emiko shrieked grabbing Daisuke by the shoulders.
" Err... well…" Daisuke pondered for a while. ' Why did I break up with her anyway…?' " Ahh… well, its-its just not meant to be, 'kaa-san…" Daisuke quickly gave the answer that came into his mind, " I mean… I just suddenly realized that she's just not the one!"
" Ohhh… well… if that makes you happy…" Emiko looked rather disappointed at the news but continued, " this is your decision, right? Its not like she dumped you, you chose it yourself… have you thought about it carefully, then?"
Daisuke was silent for a while. If truth were told, he didn't think about breaking up with Riku thoroughly, in fact he didn't think at all! It just seems like a very good idea at that time… now that he think about, it was a rather brash decision. Suddenly feeling rather guilty, Daisuke prayed he didn't hurt Riku's feelings too much.
" Oh dear," Emiko sighed, " I must say that I'm pretty upset in hearing this news, since I like sweet Riku-chan and I think you two make such a cute couple, but there are plenty of other fishes in the sea. Riku-chan's not the only one that can make my baby happy, right? I'm thinking that you're giving this as a present for a certain special someone, hmm?" Emiko gave a sly wink as Daisuke blushed a bright red.
" Etto… a very special someone, yeah…!" Daisuke nodded meekly and instantly thought of Satoshi. Somehow, the very thought of his ice-cool friend has banished all his worries about his break-up and left him with a warm fuzzy feeling inside. An even brighter blush grew on his face. Emiko laughed at the sight.
" Well then, if that's the case, let me just wrap this for you and you could just be on your way!" Emiko smiled brightly as she piled some chocolate fudge cookies into a colorful paper bag along with other types of sweet treats.
" Yatta! Arigato, 'kaa-san!" Daisuke cheered when his mother has finished and handed the paper bag to him. " These do look good. I'm sure Hiwatari-kun would be sooo happy! Ja ne, 'kaa-san!"
Daisuke happily skipped out of the house and ran towards Satoshi's place.
Emiko just stared as Daisuke disappeared, her eyes wide at the realization of Daisuke's words.
" N-nani?.! H-Hiwatari…?.!"

Daisuke grinned staring at the building in front of him. It was a large apartment complex for the rich and well-off society of Azumano and though it was securely guarded and well kept, it gave an atmosphere of solitude and seclusion, the perfect place for a loner like Satoshi.
The grinning red head proceed to Satoshi's apartment, determine to present his gift. He was a few feet away from the place when he heard two female voices.
" Are you sure he lives here?" a girl whispered in a hush.
" Of course!" answered her companion, " I followed him here! See, it says so here ' Hiwatari Satoshi'… he lives here alright!"
Daisuke frowned and quickly hid from view yet attentively listening to every word. These girls are probably Satoshi's stalking fan girls… Daisuke suddenly felt a surge of jealousy rose from him. How dare those girls stalk him…
" Okay, lets give him our letters!" one of them said.
" I don't think he's at home though," the other mused, " its too quiet…"
" Well, lets just leave it in his letter box then!"
" Go for it!"
There was a moment silence.
" Well? Aren't you going to leave the letter there?"
" I would but… have you seen his letter box?.! Its full of other love letters! He's not gonna read ours with all of these around!"
" Well, just throw the others out and replace it with ours. Get rid of the competition!"
" It's no use!" came the whiny reply, there was a hint of poutiness in the tone, " the letter box has a lock! I can't open it without a key!"
" Well, isn't that just great!" the other sulked, " damn this guy must be really insecure! Who on earth put a lock on his letter box?.!"
" Come on, be fair!" her friend reasoned, " I mean, look at these place. Only the topnotch would live here. They have a reason to fear that their letter box might be invaded- come to think about it, its exactly what we're doing… invading a letter box…"
" Well, then!" her friend responded energetically, " We just have to improvise, haven't we? I say we just give it to Hiwatari-san face-to-face! We'll tackle him and shove this letter and we won't give up until he accepts one of us to be his girlfriend!"
" Kyaaa… I just love the way you think!" a loud fan girlish squeal was heard, making Daisuke cringed.
Daisuke watched the two girls scurried away squealing. He waited until they were well out of sight before he stepped out and headed towards Satoshi's apartment.
" Damn! Are those two nuts or what?" Dark muttered suddenly shaking his head critically.
" Yeah…" Daisuke agreed, " its pretty sad, isn't it?"
" Hell yeah… … … demo… Daisuke? What're you doing?" Dark asked staring at his host oddly.
" Hm? Oh, I'm opening the lock to the letter box!"
" O-kaaay… and may I ask why?"
" So I can have access to the letter box and dispose all those love letters, that's why!"
" WHAT THE FU- Daisuke!" Dark screamed, " Didn't we just discuss how sad those two nutcase were?.! You're behaving just like them!"
" No, I'm not!" Daisuke retorted defensively, " I'm just doing Hiwatari-kun a favor! He's not going to read all these letters, so I'm gonna throw it away for him!"
" Yeah right," Dark cried hysterically, " you're just trying to get rid of competition, like what those girls tried to do! God, you're just as bad as those two stalkers!"
Daisuke's eyes widen as Dark's words entered his mind and realization suddenly hit him. " Oh my god!" Daisuke cried horrifically, " Dark… you're right!"
" Humph… of course, I am!" Dark chided moodily.
" Those two are stalkers! And they're stalking Hiwatari-kun! Who knows what kind of horrendous things they'll do to him if they get their hands on Hiwatari-kun!" Daisuke gasped and looked ghastly appalled at the thought,
" Wait- what?" Dark stared blankly at his feverish host. " Wait, Daisuke… that wasn't what I was talking about-"
" I won't let them! I won't!" Daisuke growled with fierce determination, his red eyes blazing like deadly fire, " they won't have their way with Hiwatari-kun. Not if I can help it! I'll protect him, even if it means monitoring Hiwatari-kun day and night!"
Dark sweat dropped at the scary grit of his host. " Daisuke…" he cried weakly, " you can't be serious…"
" I have never been more serious in my entire life!" Daisuke said ominously as he generated a very dark aura, " I won't let anything get in my way! I'll… I'll… I'll-"
" Niwa-kun?"
Both Daisuke and Dark jumped at the sound of the new voice. Dark became apprehensively silent as he watched Daisuke's dark aura suddenly change into his normal bright and cheerful self.
" Oh hey, Hiwatari-kun," Daisuke chirped brightly, a goofy grin plastered on his beaming face, " What's up?"
Satoshi had just come out of his apartment, looking slightly surprise to see Daisuke standing outside his doorstep.
" Niwa-kun, why you're here?" Satoshi asked coolly.
" I came to see you, Hiwatari-kun!"
" You came… to see… me…?" the icy teen eyed the young boy critically. He looks calm as ever but if you look closely, a slight nervous and weary look was seen in his eyes.
" Yup!" came the up-beat reply.
" Oh? And may I ask why?"
" Hee hee!" Daisuke grinned gleefully as he pressed a rather large paper bag filled with sweet delights that could make one end up with rotten teeth or an upset tummy to Satoshi's hands.
Satoshi stared at it blankly. " What's this?"
" What does it look like? I made it myself, you know- well, with the help from okaa-san. I hope you like it!" Daisuke beamed proudly, his innocent face decorated with glee and an adorable smile played on his lips.
Satoshi felt rather touched. Daisuke made it himself? Just for him? Satoshi was speechless, to say the least. His eyes soften as a small sincere smile formed on his face. Daisuke always knew how to melt his heart, even without meaning to…
" Arigato, Niwa-kun."
Daisuke was delighted to see the smile on usually cold teen's face. A heated pink tinge delicately painted his cheeks, making him look even more innocent and adorable.
" I… I'm glad you like it, Hiwatari-kun…" Daisuke whispered softly, sudden shyness invaded his feelings.
He glanced at the blue haired boy. His heart soared the longer he gazes at him, thumping loudly as though it wanted to burst out of his chest. Daisuke looked away, feeling confused. He was starting to wonder why he would feel this way every time the other boy is around.
' What is… this feeling? Why do I feel this way whenever I'm with Hiwatari-kun? When did it all start…?' Daisuke glanced at Satoshi and noticed that the other was staring at him intently. His eyes darted away as heat rose up through his body and stained his cheeks red. ' Maybe Dark is right after all. Maybe there is something wrong with me…'
Satoshi watched the red head confusedly, feeling rather worried when the other refused to look at him. Not to mention that his face was pretty red…
" Daisuke? Daijobu ka?" Satoshi asked anxiously. He was so worried; he forgot to call him by his family name. Placing a hand on Daisuke's forehead, he leaned closer to check his temperature. " You're feeling rather hot… are you sick or something?"
Daisuke's eyes widen and went redder at Satoshi's touch. It had sent him pleasurable warmth throughout his body and tingles down his spine. Not only that, he was secretly thrilled of Satoshi's usage of his first name and a deep surge of happiness drowned him from the inside. But the effect had overwhelmed him and he slapped away Satoshi's hand and staggered backwards.
" … Niwa?"
" Aaa… gomen nasai, Hi-Hiwatari-kun… I- I've to go, now." Daisuke stammered, "Ja ne!"
Satoshi watched in bewilderment as Daisuke hurried away. Why did he suddenly act that way…? Satoshi frowned. 'Mood swings… probably one of the effect of Amortentia…' he thought grimly. ' Right… I have to do research on that…'
Satoshi glanced at the paper bag in his bag. He wasn't really fond of sweet things but Daisuke had made them for him… Satoshi picked a muffin and took a bite. Mmm… blueberry…
Satoshi was about to enter his apartment when something caught his eye.
" What the- hey, what happen to my mail?"

Quiny: There. Part I of chapter 7 delivered. And I just wanna say that if you find any grammar mistakes or spelling errors, don't you DARE say a word about it! It was okay when I was just the editor, but now I have to type it down with MY computer and post it on MY net. So just don't say a word about it, please?.!
And I also want to apologize if the above editor's note was too long but I was just filling you guys in about M-V (or d'you guys call her Vixxie-chan?).
Trivia:
Umm… this is pretty embarrassing to say but, you know that scene with those two Hiwatari fan girls? Well, actually, it is based on real life events… uh… yeah; M-V and I are those girls. But we were NOT stalking! We were just doing a favor…
Anyway, I don't give a damn if you guys review or not, since its not my fic. But please do anyway. Not for me but for M-V. It'll be a nice treat for her when she's finally allowed her laptop back.
