Sister: sorry, I normally update daily. I'm so sorry!!!

Dark: calm down, will ya? It's not like we've been waiting for a month.

Sato: he's right. It really hasn't been that long.

Dark: wow! Creepy boy's agreeing with me! The world must be ending!

Sister: sorry about him. He's a bit crazy today. I don't own DNAngel

Chapter 7

Krad hit Dai full speed. They crashed through the brick wall of the mayor's house, landing right in the middle of the man's office. "What on earth-?" he said rushing over to set off the alarm.

"You will die today, Daisuke Niwa," Krad said confidently. Suddenly, something flew in from the hole in the wall.

"Not today, Krad." It was Satoshi. He grabbed Krad's wings and pulled as if he were attempting to rip them off the white angel's back.

The angels? Thought the mayor. But why are they fighting? "Please, stop!" he shouted at them.

"Don't get any closer!" Dark yelled. He was flying in at that moment and kicked Krad in the stomach. They heard a sickening snap and Krad screamed. His left wing was broken. He left through the hole in the wall and ran.

When he disappeared, the mayor said, "What were you fighting for?"

Satoshi came forward seeing that Dark was comforting Daisuke and answered his question. "That was Krad. He may look like an angel but he acts like the devil. He kills with no mercy and seem to have no soul. If he hadn't have left, you would probably be dead."

"So he is the dark side that I've heard so much about." The mayor turned to Dark. "If you don't mind me asking, why do you steal if you're the good guy?"

Dark explained the story he had told Takeshi so that the mayor would better understand, but he left out the part that he and Daisuke were together. "So, will you help us catch Krad? The more people who know about him, the more likely he'll be caught. Then I can seal him and he'll be gone."

"You mean he'll be gone for good?" the mayor asked hopefully.

Dark shook his head. "No, not for good, but for a while. Don't worry though. We'll get him."

"In the meantime, though, you should let everyone know that he's dangerous," Satoshi said.

"Yes," the mayor said. "I will do that right away." Just then the guards came bursting through the door. (AN: remember, the mayor pressed the alarm) "Mr. Mayor! Are you all right?" one of the guards said.

Another saw the hole in the wall and said, "What happened?!" He then noticed the three teens with wings. "Wh- what are you?!" he said drawing his gun.

"Katsu, stop!" the mayor shouted. "They are the ones who saved me."

"But, Mr. Mayor," Katsu said, slowly lowering his gun, "what about Dark? Shouldn't we catch him?"

The mayor shook his head. "No, he helped save me as well. I have something extremely important to announce to our citizens."

BREAK

The mayor was standing on his podium to announce the news. Next to him stood not only guards, but Dark, Daisuke, and Satoshi.

When everyone who had been outside of their homes had gathered around to listen to the mayor's speech, he began. "Hello everyone. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we now have a new enemy. He is called Krad and is the only angel with white wings. Watch out for him. The good news is that we have protectors," he said gesturing to the three next to him. "These three angels, including Dark, are here to help catch him. I will let them explain why."

The three walked up to the front and Dark took the podium. The women went crazy. "Hey!" Dark yelled. "This is serious!" Everyone quieted immediately. "This 'angel's' name is Krad. He's not even close to an angel at all. He's more like the devil. He's an unpredictable killing machine."

Daisuke leaned over and said, "Dark, this might make more sense to them if you tell them the entire story."

"Yeah, you're probably right." For the third time that day, Dark told the story of him, Krad, the Black Wings, and the Niwa's. About five seconds after Dark finished his story, reporters were shoving forward and blurting out questions.

When the three teens were about to leave, Satoshi jumped on Daisuke and yelled, "Daisuke! Look out!" The podium exploded right where Daisuke was standing just seconds ago. "Daisuke, are you okay?" Satoshi asked. The blunette was thrown into a tree and a shadow was cast across the red-head.

"Hello, Daisuke," Krad said, his voice dripping with hate.

"What do you want, Krad?" Daisuke asked, slightly fearing what the answer would be.

"Isn't it obvious? You should know by now." He laughed. "I'm just here to get you."

"Krad, get away from Daisuke!" Dark was furious. "Don't touch him!"

"This is between Daisuke and me!" Krad said. "You have no part in this fight."

Dai looked at Dark sadly. "He's right, Dark. I need to fight him on my own. I can do this." He turned back to Krad bravely and said to Dark, "Take care of Hiwatari! I'll be right back!"

Dark looked at Satoshi's crumpled wings and body. Then, he looked at the crowd of people who were beginning to panic. All right, Dai, Dark thought. I'll do this for you.

With Daisuke

Daisuke watched Krad closely, making sure that he did nothing to hurt the crowd below them. "Okay, Krad, you can kill me but leave Dark out of this."

Krad smirked. "Are you worried that I'll hurt your precious angel?" Daisuke's face hardened. "There's no need to worry. I would never do anything to hurt him. Oh, no. I will make sure his death is short and painless. You on the other hand, who stood in my way so many times, will die slow and painfully."

"You damn bastard," said Daisuke. "What good does it do to have us both dead?"

"You don't get it, do you? You and Dark have stood in the way of me being free for so long. I have no choice but to kill you both now." He laughed maniacally. "Goodbye, Daisuke Niwa."

With Dark

Dark gingerly lifted Satoshi's limp body onto his back and picked up the fallen microphone. "Everyone calm down!" The crowd quieted once again. "Panicking is the worst thing to do right now! Please, head to the closest shelter! Any stragglers could be killed." The people ran as fast as they could without making too much noise.

Dark handed Satoshi off to a nice-looking couple. "This boy is injured. Could you take care of him for me?" They nodded and Dark smiled at them. He flew to the hospital to inform the doctors and nurses that they should get the patients to a safe place.

With Daisuke

Daisuke watched as Krad pulled out a white feather from his coat. In truth, Daisuke was frightened of what Krad would do, but his fear was hidden behind a mask of bravery. "Wait," said Krad suddenly. "I think I would like to have Dark watch you suffer. Yes, that's what I'll do." He then pinned Dai against the nearest tower with feathers.

"You can't do this, Krad!" Daisuke yelled. "Dark will catch you and you will be sealed!" Daisuke realized what he had just said.

"What?" Krad asked. "Are you saying that there's a way to seal one of us without the other?"

Damn! Thought Daisuke. Why did I say that? Now he knows.

"Well? Tell me!" Daisuke was silent. "Tell me how!!"

"I don't know how," was the red angel's answer.

"What was that?!" Krad was definitely angry.

Daisuke looked up. "I said I don't know how. All Dark and I know is that there is a way but we still need to figure out how."

Krad thought for a moment before his face broke into a grin. "How about this," he said gently. "If you help me figure out how to seal one without the other, I won't kill you or your beloved Dark. I won't even seal him."

Daisuke was unsure of whether to trust Krad or not. He was stuck between almost certain that Krad would kill them anyway, and keeping his boyfriend alive. He sighed and answered.

Sister: well I think that was a successful chapter! Please review!
