All That I'm Living For

"Nani?" Hikari turned towards Satoshi, "What is it, Satoshi-san?" She questioned.

"Krad's been acting strangely lately. Why?" He demanded.

"That information is on a need-to-know basis. And you don't need to know right now. I'll tell you when the time comes, or Krad will tell you. But it's best if you stay ignorant of that information for the moment." Hikari answered, closing her eyes.

"What's going to happen to me?" Satoshi persisted.

"Hopefully, nothing." Was the blunt reply, "If not...well, you'll end up with Daisuke, so you won't be alone." She shrugged, ignoring him questions.

"We've been seeing what you wanted,
Got us cornered right now
Fallen asleep from our vanity
May cost us our lives" Hikari leaned forward, her legs crossed under her, the wind blowing through her hair as the two angels fought before her, and the words left her lips in a soft, beautiful melody.

"I hear them getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
And time is running out now,
They're coming down the hills from behind

When we start killing
It's all coming down right now
From the nightmare we've created
I want to be awakened somehow
(Wanna be awakened right now)

When we start killing
It all will be falling down
From the hell that we're in
All we are is fading away
When we start killing

We've been searching all night long
But there's no trace to be found
It's like they all have just vanished
But I know they're around


I feel them getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
And time is running out now
They're coming down the hills from behind

When we start killing
It's all coming down right now
From the nightmare we've created
I want to be awakened somehow
(Wanna be awakened right now)

When we start killing
It all will be falling down
From the hell that we're in
All we are is fading away
When we start killing
When we start killing!

I feel them getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
And time is running out now
They're coming down the hills from behind

The sun is rising
The screams have gone
Too many have fallen
Few still stand tall
Is this the ending
Of what we've begun?
Will we remember
What we've done wrong?

When we start killing
It's all coming down right now
From the nightmare we've created
I want to be awakened somehow
(Wanna be awakened right now)

When we start killing
It all will be falling down
From the hell that we're in


All we are is fading away
When we start killing

When we start killing
When we start killing!" With a quiet sigh, Hikari watched with sad eyes as the white winged angel fell from the sky, falling into the waters below them. She carefully stood up on the railing, diving into the water to get the blue haired tamer since Krad had run out of energy, as did the boy.

Satoshi coughed up water after Hikari placed him in his bed, and he rolled to his side in pain.

"Relax...shh...shh...calm down...it's okay..." Hikari soothed, though she felt awkward doing it. She wasn't used to showing many emotions to anyone other than Krad, but Satoshi kind of counted, didn't he? He was Krad's tamer after all.

She placed her hand on his face, her eyes softening. He looked so peaceful like that, no pain, no anger, just calm, and peaceful. "Oh Krad...why are you so hard on him?" She hummed softly, smiling lightly. She suddenly pulled her hand back, her eyes hardening. "Stupid," she scolded herself, "I'm not supposed to feel anything for the tamers...and yet, I feel like I'm going to regret it if I don't..." She turned away from him, crossing her arms stubbornly. "No...they're going to die...if I get attached, I won't be able to do my job..."

"What do you want Dark?" Hikari was sitting in a chair next to the young Hikari's bed, her eyes watching over him silently as he slept, as though she were his guardian angel.

"I came to check up on you. Emiko's been pretty worried since you haven't been at the house for six hours now." Dark shrugged, replying to her simple question. "What are you thinking about?" He may have ignored her, but he knew her enough to be able to tell when she had been in deep thought.

"The prophecy." The words made Dark cringe, "And whether or not I'll be able to go through with it. We both know what will happen to Satoshi-san and Daisuke-kun." Hikari raised her head to look Dark in the eyes, and his expression softened when he saw the dead look in her eyes. She didn't want to have to go through with it.

"I'm sorry, Hikari-kun." Dark apologized.

"Why are you sorry?" She asked solemnly, "It's not like we can do anything about it, because it will happen one way or another unless we find the prophecy and destroy it with all of our powers combined. Otherwise it would just be pointless to have bothered to even find it in the first place. And since both Satoshi-san and Krad-kun are out cold, that leaves only us. And we need all three angels' powers to destroy it and negate its effect on the world."

"You'll figure something out, you always do." Dark encouraged.

"I don't think I can do it though. I've run out of ideas!" Hikari cried, a tear dripping to the floor, sparkling in the dim light.

Dark embraced the shaking girl, his eyes closed. "You'll figure something out. I know you will." He smiled at her, and she gave a weak smile back.

"You're probably right...for once." She laughed a bit.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Dark asked playfully. "I know you will, you've always figured something out. No matter how hopeless the situation is, you always pull through for us all." Dark leaned closer, and Hikari closed her eyes, exhaling softly as Dark's lips connected with her own in a short, sweet kiss.

And that wraps up numba' six! I have totally ignored The Howling and have taken this to a whole new level of awesomeness. I think this one is much better than The Howling was ever going to be.
Disclaimer: Don't own DNAngel, never claimed to.
Here's the backstage, brought to you by Nikster Productions. This one is going to be fairly short, and will only consist of Krad, Dark, and Hikari.

"Gah! I have to WHAT?!" Hikari roared, throwing the script to the ground mercilessly.
"Kiss me. What's so bad about that?" Dark whined.
"EVERYTHING!" Hikari screamed at him.
"Don't worry hun," Krad held onto the girl, holding her back from murdering Dark, though it's not like he wouldn't have minded much, "It's not like it means much. It's just a kiss. Besides, we make out all the time, and I can make it up to you after the episode." He purred.
That seemed to cheer Hikari up immediately, "Anything?" She asked hopefully.
"Anything." He grinned.
"Okay!" Hikari grinned slyly, knowing what she was going to do after the episode was done.
