Shadow Angel-
YAYS! I got a review! So since you people must think it's at least half-way good I will post this! I do not own DN Angel, only Zaria and my twitching plot bunny. REVIEW AGAIN!
Chapter 2-
Riku went through her day as normal, trying to ignore the feeling that someone was always watching her and the random little comments Zaria would give every once and a while or ask what something was, when you're not out of a painting for over 150 years, things change. The worst was history class, they were learning about something that happened two hundred years ago, and apparently that was during a period of time Zaria had her own body so she was chatting away about little details no one really knew about but eye-witnesses.
~X~
"Hey! It's Satoshi! Go say hi." Zaria commanded randomly during lunch,
"Why?" Zaria frowned,
"You know how I told you that Dark and Krad had tamers?" Riku nodded, "Well he's a tamer and I want to say hello to his angel, Krad." Riku sighed and walked over to the blue haired boy. Zaria was smiling happily and as soon as they got in a ten foot radius of the boy she dived out of Riku's mind and into Satoshi's making both of the teens gasp in pain.
"KRAD!" Zaria called, looking around for the angel.
"Mistress Zaria? You've been released?" She nodded at the Angel who was walking calmly out of the shadows.
"Just yesterday, has anything interesting happened?" Krad glared around his confinement area,
"This tamer is stronger than the others and, just like the others, thinks I am a parasite he refuses to let me out, even to get Dark." He spat. Zaria frowned at him,
"Too bad, my tamer got to see the other side of me yesterday, part of her thinks I'm a demon now too." Krad smirked,
"I knew you were more sadistic than you let on." The male purred,
"I NEVER SAID I ATTACKED HER! Well…I almost did and I threatened to take her body over forever…but still!" Ria tried to defend herself but Krad just smirked at her. Zaria stuck her nose up in the air and glared at Krad,
"I'm leaving." She declared and left, receiving another gasp of pain from both her tamer and Krad's.
Turns out Riku and Satoshi had started an awkward conversation about homework and it was quite obvious Riku wanted to get out of there.
"You can go if you want now Mistress…unless you like Satoshi now." Zaria teased.
"It's fine!" she smiled at Satoshi, "Well thank you, I'll leave you to your book now." She said, bowed and walked away.
She went back over to her sister and Daisuke. Once again as soon as Riku got close to Daisuke Zaria left her tamer's mind and entered Dark's place. She found her brother asleep in a large black bed. Smirking, Zaria suck over, spread her wings, flew over the bed and dropped, waking Dark up in an instant. He screamed and jumped awake, leaving Zaria laughing hysterically on the bed.
"ZARIA!" he yelled, eyes still wide in fear.
"Hi Dark!" she cooed, giving her brother a hug.
"So that was you! Your tamer is Riku Harada!" Zaria smiled,
"Guilty as charged, I'm really happy I didn't choose her sister though." Zaria shuddered and gazed around his place,
"Your mental room is much nicer than Krad's." she said airily.
"WHAT? You went to see him before me? I'm hurt Ria, I really am!" Ria laughed and waved him off,
"Well I've gotta go, when's your next heist?"
"Tonight. See ya there?" Zaria smiled,
"Definitely." Then she was gone.
"Will you stop doing that? My head hurts enough as it is!" Zaria's tamer greeted her.
"I apologize Mistress, I wanted to see everyone." Zaria defended herself.
"So that means Dark's tamer is around here? Who is it?" Zaria sighed,
"And here I thought you were smart, Dark's tamer is Daisuke Niwa."
"NIWA?" she shouted, so shocked she forgot to think it. Daisuke jumped in shock,
"Y-Yes Miss. Harada?" Riku blinked in confusion and grabbed his hand,
"Come with me." She commanded and dragged the confused teen away.
"He's going to deny it." Zaria said calmly but Riku didn't listen.
"Yes Miss. Harada?" the red head tried again after they were safely hidden.
"What's it like?" she asked. Zaria sighed, this was pathetic.
"What's what like?" Daisuke asked, thoroughly confused and Dark was snickering manically in the back of his mind, not helping.
"To have Phantom Thief Dark in your head! Is shifting painful? Does he have a familiar too? Why did he choose you?" she asked in a rush. Dark was now roaring with laughter at his tamer's confusion and Riku's face, Zaria was laughing just as hard.
"W-What are you talking about?" Daisuke asked, "DARK?"
"Don't worry! She knows now!" Daisuke sighed,
"I can see that, but how?"
"Zaria. I'll tell you later, and I think you should tell her the same…I wonder if she's going to question the commander next." He snickered again.
"Uh…I'll tell you later…how about you come by after school, not today but tomorrow?" Dark and Zaria froze.
"NO!" both angels screamed but their tamers ignored them.
"Okay. Well I need to go…ask Hiwitari something." She said awkwardly, not sure if he knew about Krad.
"He does. And we are NOT going to the Niwa house, especially to talk about me and Dark!" Zaria snarled.
"Why not? I can visit my friends whenever I want!" Riku shot back, pausing under a tree on her way to Satoshi.
"I don't care if you visit your friends Mistress; it's just talking about me I don't want." Riku frowned and decided to question her angel later, continuing her walk to Satoshi.
"Back again Miss. Harada?" he asked emotionlessly. Riku nodded, not caring if this seemed in any way suspicious,
"I want to know what it's like." She said quietly. The bluenett raised an eyebrow questioningly,
"What do you mean?" Riku rolled her eyes and gestured to his head,
"Him, what's it like to have him in your head…I don't actually remember his name." Satoshi looked slightly confused and shocked,
"Krad Mistress, his name is Krad." Zaria provided in slight annoyance,
"Krad, yah, him what's it like?" Satoshi's eyes darkened and he looked away,
"I'm guessing you've already talked to Niwa." He said slowly. Riku nodded,
"He's going to explain tomorrow." Satoshi nodded,
"The perhaps I can talk to you today." He looked into the distance and frowned, "The defenses will be useless anyway, with her there as well." He turned his eyes towards the older Harada twin, adjusting his glasses, "She is going to be going with Dark tonight correct?" Riku blanched,
"Yes I am." Zaria said so Riku nodded.
"Well then, why don't you walk home with me after school, I think I can answer a few questions." He said, his voice still portraying no emotion. Riku smiled and nodded,
"Thank you Hiwitari!" she smiled, bowed and hurried off to find Risa. Zaria just sat back and smirked, going to Krad's tamer first…this should be interesting.
~X~
As soon as school was over Riku found Satoshi and started to walk back with him, trying to ignore all the shocked or murderous glances she got.
"You have quite a lot of admirers." Riku pointed out after another girl glared at her.
"Really? I hadn't noticed." He said dully. Riku scoffed,
"He just doesn't want to get close to anyone." Zaria spoke up for the time in a while.
"Why?" Zaria growled, that word was getting on her nerves.
"Like me, if Satoshi gets too close to anyone, feels love, Krad can take over much easier, it's the same with Dark. Krad is the most…violent of the three of us, he is also very protective and usually wants his tamer all to himself. If Satoshi gets too close to anyone he will probably kill that person." Zaria explained offhandedly. Riku looked at Satoshi in terror and inched away from him, hoping he wouldn't notice, but he did.
"So she told you? About Krad and what might happen if I get too close to anyone?" Riku nodded hesitantly.
They walked the rest of the way in silence and Satoshi led Riku into his small house awkwardly and gestured to the couch while he went to make tea.
"So you have questions." He stated and Riku snapped out of her awkward silence and launched into her questioning,
"How long has he been with you? Why did he choose you? How did they get in our head? What's—"
"If you want answers you're going to have to let me talk." He cut in smoothly. Riku blushed and nodded,
"Krad has been…with me since my fourteenth birthday, he did not choose me he is simply passed down my family line, and how…that's a very long story." Riku frowned,
"I can tell you that later, and I'm sure Daisuke will as well Mistress." Zaria said calmly.
"Is shifting painful?" Satoshi twitched,
"Wrong person to ask Mistress." The teen's melodic voice purred,
"Huh? Why?"
"It depends on the method." Satoshi said, his voice stiff.
"What do you mean?" Satoshi looked away,
/"Would she like a Demonstration Master Satoshi?"/ Krad asked devilishly.
"No I don't think that will be—"
/"I didn't mean it as a suggestion."/ Then Krad started to force his way out. Satoshi doubled over in pain and Riku screamed,
"WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HIM?" She gasped, Zaria just watched calmly as Satoshi's hair grew longer, two pure white wings shot from his back, and his eyes became golden.
"W-Who are you?" Riku gasped, stumbling backwards.
"That's Krad, tell him hello for me Mistress." Zaria chirped,
"Z-Zaria says hello." She stuttered. Krad smirked and bowed,
"A pleasure mademoiselle and Hello to you as well Mistress Zaria." He righted himself and kept the charm on,
"I believe I may be able to be of some assistance in your quest for understanding your new situation."
"Mistress…please tell him to stop using big fancy words, it's annoying." Riku gave a tiny smiled,
"Zaria said to stop using big words, she says it's annoying." Krad pretended to look offended,
"I am hurt Mistress Zaria, I really am." Zaria smirked,
"Can I talk to him Mistress, face to face?" Riku hesitated, she saw how much pain Satoshi had been in, "I will not force the transformation, just think of Daisuke and I will be able to take over."
Riku blushed and nodded, picturing her secret crush's face in her mind and felt a burning sensation pass through her body. She gasped and Krad watched idly as she grew taller, her hair lengthened to the middle of her back and turn blonde and black. Her figure started to change next, it became more like a woman's, curvier with more at the chest. She wore a pair of tight black pants, light gray shirt that ended just below her ribs, and a tight fitting leather jacket. Around her neck was a simple Ying-Yang charm and a black studded collar. When she opened her eyes they were deep purple and shining with hidden sorrow, pain and mischief. She stretched and smiled blissfully,
"It's been 150 years since I last got out, Ahhhh it feels good!" she moaned and went through the process of cracking almost all of her joints,
"So Krad, how's it going?" she smirked, "Goin' after my brother again tonight?" she asked reproachfully. He glared at her,
"Of course I am, that bastard is nothing but trouble." He growled,
"Now Krad you know better than to talk like that around me, my job is to get you two to behave around each other and you constantly attacking him doesn't make my life any easier." She put her hands on her hips and glared at him. He stepped forward until her was towering over the shorter girl and smirked down at her, running his finger down the side of her face,
"Who ever said I wanted to make your life easier?" he purred. Zaria humphed in annoyance and away, trying to hide the small blush across her face,
"Zaria…do you like Krad?" Riku asked suddenly, feeling her embarrassment.
"I don't know what you're talking about Mistress." She replied curtly and looked back up at Krad, backing up slightly, "He is my Brother's rival and, if he wanted to be, he scares even me." Her tamer was obviously not convinced, "I DO NOT LIKE HIM!" she snapped, her tamer cowered slightly and shut herself away in the back of Zaria's mind.
When Zaria focused back on the scene in front of her she jumped in shock, Krad had leaned down and was staring into her eyes curiously,
"They flashed gold." He explained, "I thought they only did that when you were angry." She nodded,
"They do. Now, about Satoshi…" she started, the boy seemed nice enough and Zaria didn't like how Krad was treating him.
"Ah yes…Master Satoshi is much stronger than the others, as I said before, but he is still in my control." He said dangerously, eyes narrowing. "Though I don't think he likes me much, such a shame." He sighed and glanced out at the darkening sky.
"It's almost time." He growled, flexing his wings. Zaria nodded,
"So it is…Sahaim!" the silver wolf appeared by her side, don't ask how, just say it was magic.
"Why hello Sahaim, it's been a while." Krad said pleasantly. The wolf bowed his head and looked up at his master, when she nodded her transformed and became her wings.
"How surprised is Satoshi that you're being civilized?" Krad chuckled,
"Quite." Zaria smiled as well and flexed her wings happily,
"Well I'm going to go ahead and catch up with Dark, sorry to say it but I'm still going to try and stop you two from fighting." He frowned at her,
"Why are you sorry? You seem to enjoy making my life just as difficult as I enjoy making yours." She shrugged,
"Don't know." She muttered,
"You so like him." Riku sang.
"MISTRESS RIKU!" Zaria shouted back in distress before taking off. Krad stared after his rival's sister with a smirk, Dark would notice the feather in her jacket even if she didn't.
~X~
"DARK!" Zaria squealed in a perfect imitation of her Tamer's sister.
Riku groaned and Dark jumped in terror, spinning around to face his stalker, but when he saw his sister he smiled but it slipped when a flash of white caught his eye. He flew forward and plucked a white feather from the pocket of her jacket. Zaria stared at it with wide eyes,
"Why'd he put that there?" she wondered out loud, making to grab the feather from her brother.
"You were with him?" Dark growled, his fist clenching around the white feather angrily.
"Yes, Mistress Riku went to talk to Satoshi, Krad came out and then we talked." Zaria explained dully. "Can we go now?" she whined, changing the subject. Dark's eyes lit up instantly at the mention of his theft and nodded, spreading his wings and taking off.
Through the entire theft Riku was freaking out, she hadn't realized her other half was a thief as well, but also a hunter so unlike Dark if she came up on a guard she would attack them and render them unconscious, laughing the entire time.
"HOW ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT THIS?" Riku screamed for the tenth time,
"How are you so freaked about this Mistress?" Zaria shot back, darting into the target room with Dark.
"Hey Krad!" she yelled in greeting. Krad nodded curtly and glared at Dark, the bracelet he was supposed to be stealing clasped safely around his wrist.
"Oh darn, looks like you two can't get it, LET'S GO!" Zaria just laughed and looked at Dark, a simple nod and they both knew what to do. Zaria shot forward, while Dark took to the sky. Automatically Krad watched his other half with more enthusiasm than his sister so she was able to tackle him.
"Mine." She breathed, taking the bracelet off of his arm. The hunter seemed a little shocked but got up quickly, glaring at the girl, now not prepared for when Dark attacked him from behind.
"See ya Kraddykins!" Dark yelled before taking off, Zaria at his heels.
Zaria veered off and went to the Harada house, flying into Riku's window. The blonde yawned and wandered around the room, looking at pictures and such, Sahaim trotted after her.
"Can you give me my body back?" Riku whined. Zaria nodded,
"Of course Mistress." Then she released her hold on Riku's body. The middle schooler groaned and collapsed in her bed, falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
