Yay! Chapter one. Nothing much really happens here, but trust us, the story does eventually get better. Around chapter two or three-ish, so no worries, hm? I'll try to have a chapter or two up a day. Like I said before I posted the prologue and chapter one at the same time due to the fact that the prologue is very short.

Kai: It got the job done though. All you needed to know was that Hakuo was envious of Satoshi anyway.

Of course.

Disclaimer: Neither of us own D.N.Angel. End of story. Kind of...

Chapter One: New Student, Old Rival

He yawned, still half asleep even though he was clearly awake and dressed. Today already seemed like a bad day, but at least he'd get to see some light at school. He glanced up at the clock, pushing his glasses back up where they should be on his nose and sighing.

He picked up his school bag routinely and headed out the door, locking it behind him. School. School would be what little safe harbor he had no matter how quickly it went by or how little he saw the red head. The streets were already being walked upon by workers and school kids, same as usual. The train was crowded too, which is why it surprised him when he was noticed by someone.

"Hiwatari-kun!"

He instinctively looked up, only to see Daisuke making his way through the crowd, smiling and waving. He glanced farther back, the way Daisuke had came, and saw Takeshi and one of the Haradas (he didn't care which one really). He looked back at Daisuke now, who had just survived moving in a large crowd like this. "Good morning, Niwa." He said blandly, though Daisuke kept his same cheery expression at his usual cold attitude.

Daisuke sighed, sitting his bag down on the floor next to him, "You don't usually catch this train, do you Hiwatari-kun? Did something happen?" He was a bit concerned, the Police Commander was usually at school first and today he looked like he'd gotten little sleep on top of the unusual circumstances.

Satoshi shook his head, "I'm fine, nothing happened. I just woke up late." Krad interrupted his line of thought though, by deciding to add in; I saw the dreams you had last night! You didn't wake up late you just didn't want to wake up at all! Satoshi ignored him as best as he could.

Daisuke seemed to believe what Satoshi had said though, and let the subject drop. It was so hard to have a conversation with him, so he stayed quiet until the train stopped and they were walking the rest of the way to school.

When they entered the classroom a few people, like Daisuke, were surprised that Satoshi wasn't on his usual schedule. Even the teacher seemed a bit shocked, but said nothing. She merely did her job, and introduced a new student to the class. Funny. Nobody had seen him sitting near the back.

"Okay class, we have a new student today." She gestured to a brown haired and brown eyed boy standing next to her. "His name is Hakuo Hiwatari so please make him feel welcome." She motioned for him to sit in an empty desk near the back, where he had been before.

Most of the day passed without incident, except for an oven almost exploding in cooking class on Takeshi and Risa's account. Daisuke found himself thanking god that his life had been spared after that one.

Satoshi was putting a book into his book bag when Hakuo decided to pay him a visit. "Long time no see, Satoshi." He said a bit smugly, folding his arms and looking at his cousin skeptically.

Satoshi shot a glare at him, "Hakuo. Why are you here?" He wasn't oblivious, he and Hakuo did not get along one bit. He knew his family was supposed to be moving here, but he had been dreading the day.

Hakuo acted offended, "It wasn't my choice to move here, you know. I would have much rather stayed where we were originally living."

"Then why don't you go back? You're the same as me you can fend for yourself can't you?" Satoshi asked, a bit of venom lining his voice. He was aware that Daisuke was walking towards them, ready to break up the fight if needed.

Hakuo saw him too, "Oh, hello. You're Niwa-san right?" he asked casually. "Are you a friend of Satoshi's?"

Daisuke looked startled at the sudden recognition, pausing in his steps, "Oh, um.." he looked at Satoshi for help. Could he say he was his friend?

Satoshi got the hint and answered for Daisuke, "Yes, that's Niwa. Leave him out of this!" He didn't like the sinister energy that seemed to be radiating from his cousin.

Daisuke stayed rooted in place, though his expression was much calmer. Dark was having a field day with his thoughts, making Daisuke blush a small bit. Hakuo saw the unease in Satoshi's voice and used it to his advantage, "What? I was just saying hello, Satoshi don't be mad. You're acting like his husband or something." Dark and Krad both choked on air at that, though Dark saw humor in the whole thing and started cracking up.

I told you, Dai! Creepy Boy is straight as a circle!

Shut up Dark!

Aw, I betcha wanna kiss him now hmmm?

...Two can play at this game, Dark.

How so little tamer of mine?

Well, considering we're one in the same doesn't that mean you want to kiss Krad?

That comment succeeded in shutting the thief up, and Daisuke felt a bit of triumph though he was getting mentally glared at. Satoshi remained silent for a few minutes as Daisuke had, perhaps he was having a fight with Krad? He responded icily though. "Hakuo, find something else to do with your time."

Hakuo ignored him and began talking to Daisuke again, "So, Niwa-san, I'm guessing you know about the local phantom thief Dark?"

Yes! Some recognition!

Dark your ego's showing!

"Um, yeah. Everyone does, he's a celebrity around here. Why?"

Hakuo shrugged, "I was just curious. I heard that Takeshi guy talking about him earlier and he said there's bound to be another heist soon." He was still ignoring the fierce glare he was getting from Satoshi. Satoshi roughly stood up, throwing his backpack onto his shoulder and walking out of the empty classroom.

Daisuke watched him, wanting to follow to make sure he was all right. He swallowed and picked his own book bag up, "I'll talk to you later Hakuo, I'm sorry!" he apologized, running to catch up with Satoshi. Wiz made a tiny squeak of protest from inside his bag which he ignored.

"Hiwatari-kun! Hey, wait up!" He called, panting as he slowed to a walk next to Satoshi. He was still giving off an intense 'stay away from me' vibe, but Daisuke wanted to find out what was up.

Satoshi turned his head to Daisuke in acknowledgement, "I'm sorry you had to listen to all of that Niwa, as you can probably tell my cousin and I don't get along very well." He turned back away from him, watching the road.

Daisuke shrugged, "It's okay, I don't always get along with my family either. But Hakuo-san seems like a nice enough person." He winced, realizing that he'd just struck a nerve on accident. But Satoshi didn't show it, he just kept the same expression on his face and kept walking.

"Niwa, don't be too trusting. Hakuo only seems nice." With that, he ended the conversation by turning down a new street.

Yay! Now all you have to do is wait for chapter 2 and/or three! Haha. My laziness may effect when that gets uploaded, so beware.

Please Read and Review! ...If not anything, just for the sake of our return? xD
