Break Me Apart, Rebuild Me Again

By: Hitokiri Musei

Rated: M

Summary: Daisuke and Dark were finally beginning to learn how to coexist when Daikii discovers a way to separate them. Even though they decide not to use it, they are forcefully separated in a freak accident. Dark continues his work, but what will Daisuke do when the cops finally capture the thief, and Dark is imprisoned?

Warnings: This will be a pretty strange fic. I do plan to take a bit of license with the characters, they will be a little OC, so don't slam me too much on that. I will try to keep them in character as much as possible. I do plan to work through Dark in prison, and it will not be pretty, so be warned now. This is a rape fic, and deals with yaoi. Also, Dark and Daisuke will be extremely close, though not lovers, so be warned. Thank you!

I don't own DNAngel.

Chapter 1

"Daisuke… Come on Daisuke, you're going to be late for your last day of school… Wake up!"

Daisuke Niwa opened his crimson eyes slowly, grumbling to himself as he did. He hadn't really gotten much sleep last night, as Dark had been in quite the hyper mood. The thief had kept him up a little late, and he didn't appreciate it.

"Daisuke, are you still mad at me?"

Daisuke snorted as he stood, stretching. 'What do you think?'

There was silence, and then a sigh. "I'm sorry Daisuke…" Warmth filtered through his mind, and Daisuke sighed slightly as he felt a burning heat curl around his soul. "I didn't mean to make you angry…"

Daisuke smiled. Even after spending nearly two years with the thief, it was still hard to stay mad at him for any length of time. He had figured by now that he would be able to resist him, but not so. 'It's okay Dark… It is the last day after all, there's not much happening anyway…'

Daisuke felt Dark's presence smile through the contact the thief currently had with the redhead's soul, and Daisuke returned the soul-embrace, wrapping his essence around the thief. Dark's soul shivered slightly at the contact, and then was still.

It was amazing, how the two could react with one another even though they were one in the same. Daisuke and Dark had not quite liked each other for a long time, and yet as time had gone on, the two had developed a relationship that they were proud of. Dark and Daisuke could easily relate to each other, they comforted one another, they shared everything. For Daisuke, it was like having an older brother that he could always count on, and he loved it.

Daisuke went through the normal routines of getting ready for school, grabbing a slice of toast on his way out the door. Emiko stood by the door with a smile, getting ready to say goodbye. Daisuke kissed her cheek, and then paused, kissing it again. Emiko blinked, and Daisuke grinned. "That one was from Dark."

Emiko smiled, her brown eyes filling with warmth and love. "Thank you Dark. You boys have a good day at school."

Daisuke nodded, and then was gone. Emiko looked after him with a smile still on her lips. The closeness between her two boys had grown so much over the past two years, and it never ceased to amaze Emiko. Dark had grown so much more compassionate and caring, and now he wasn't afraid to show his emotions as he had been before. He had definitely taken up the role as her other son, even though he was a part of Daisuke, and she loved him just as much.

Daisuke walked towards the train quietly. For once he was early, and he wanted to take the time to have a talk with Dark. 'Hey Dark?'

Daisuke felt the warmth in the corner of his mind stir, and then Dark's deep voice echoed back to him. "Yes Daisuke?"

'Did you hear about what Grandpa was working on? I think you were asleep then.' Daisuke sighed slightly, as though afraid. He had wanted to talk to Dark about this for a while now, and had only just found the time for it.

Daisuke could almost see Dark tilt his head. "No, I didn't hear about that. What is it?"

'He says that he thinks he's found a way to separate us.' Daisuke murmured, breaking into a gentle jog as he glanced at his watch. 'Perhaps I wasn't as early as I thought I was…'

Dark's soul stilled for an instant, and then started moving worriedly through Daisuke's mind. "Separate us? Do you really think so?"

'Would you want to take that option Dark? Would you like to separate from me?' Daisuke asked softly. He himself had thought about it, and he wasn't so sure that he wanted Dark to go away. Dark was a part of him, he couldn't lose the thief now…

There was silence, and then Dark spoke softly. "I… I'm not sure Daisuke… I don't know what I would do if we really could do that…. I…" Daisuke felt Dark move uncomfortably through his thoughts, and the redhead sighed.

'Don't worry about it too much Dark; it's not that important right now…' Daisuke looked up as the train pulled into the station. 'Just forget it.'

Dark didn't seem as though he agreed with Daisuke, but the thief pulled back into his corner of Daisuke's mind, and there he settled down to sleep and think.

Daisuke stretched his arms, leaning back in his chair. So far the day had passed slowly, but there was very little time left in the school day. The redhead was glad that it was his last day of school, his last day of 10th grade. He was going to be a junior next year…

The boy grinned inwardly. That was a little cool to think about, being an upperclassman. Daisuke glanced at the clock. 'Only 5 more minutes…'

"Alright class, I believe that it's close enough to the time to leave. You may go."

A cheer sounded, and Daisuke grinned as he stood and left the classroom. 'Time to head home, get something to eat, maybe hang out with Riku…'

Riku had become a good friend to Daisuke. The relationship that both had wanted had never lasted, Daisuke had never even gotten the chance to tell the girl about Dark, and he was going to keep it that way. So far he hadn't found a girl that he liked enough to make him transform, and so at the time he wasn't worried about it.

As Daisuke walked in his front door he felt the curled presence in the back of his mind stir. Daisuke reached out with his soul, pulling the thief's essence into a comforting embrace as he felt Dark's worry reach him. 'Dark, are you okay?'

There was no response for a moment, but the soul in his hold moved worriedly. Dark's voice was soft when he spoke. "I think we need to talk Daisuke."

Daisuke nodded slightly, and then went up into his room, closing his door and climbing onto his bed. He settled down, got comfortable, and then closed his eyes, moving into the shared plane of existence that was within his mind. This was the only place that he could see Dark, touch the thief as though he were real, and interact with him as though in person.

Dark looked more worried than he had felt to Daisuke. His violet eyes were solemn and dark, his lips set in a thin line and his hands lightly clenched. The dark wings that always accompanied Dark in this plane were folded tightly, another sign of the thief's unease.

Daisuke moved forward to sit beside Dark, and he was instantly pulled close the thief's side by a large wing. Daisuke leaned against his elder brother figure, lending him the comfort that he seemed to be so desperately seeking. "Dark, what's wrong?"

"I've been thinking, Daisuke, about what you told me this morning. It took me a while to figure it out, but I think I've come to a decision." Dark said softly, turning his violet eyes on the boy beside him.

Daisuke tilted his head slightly. "And what is that?"

"I don't want to separate from you. Even though I used to want to have my own body, I've come to realize that this right here, this relationship that I've formed with you, our bond, that's too precious to me. I don't want to lose that connection." Dark said, a small smile playing on his lips.

Daisuke smiled, shifting so he could wrap his arms around Dark's slender waist. "I was hoping you would say that Dark, because I feel that way too."

Dark wrapped his strong arms around the boy, putting his nose in the red hair. "I'm glad Daisuke…"

They stayed like that for a time, just holding each other, and then Daisuke sighed, moving away from Dark. "Well, I guess I should get up now, huh?"

Dark smiled softly, nodding. "You're probably right. No doubt Emiko is preparing dinner, and perhaps wondering where we are."

Daisuke sat up in his bed, offering his comfort to the thief and smiling as he felt Dark curl in the warmth that he presented him. Though Dark was still his tough, cocky self, Daisuke knew that he had revealed the thief's softer side, and he was glad to have known that Dark could be like this.

And so, life went on. Dark and Daisuke had finally achieved that perfect balance, but things wouldn't last so long, for soon that balance was going to be torn apart by Nature herself.

As you can see, I've made Dark and Daisuke extremely close. I love the way they are like this... Also, about Dark's wings. I know that he uses Wiz as his wings, but according to many sources I've found, Dark has wings of his own, just like Krad. The only difference is that Dark doesn't want to hurt Daisuke, so he doesn't use them. I took out Daisuke's relationship with Riku, just cause I don't want to deal with it, and it would also kind of ruin the point of the story, seeing as Dark would go 'poof.' Hope you liked it, and please review!
