Warning: mmm…can't think of one right now. Just be careful not to step on Dark!

Disclaimer: Let's face it; my plan to take over D.N. Angel is almost working… I just have to figure out a plan! So for now I don't own it!

Chapter 4: Once Upon A Time…

Freedert, your snow falls so slow and silent, pure and undefiled. The snow that I know to be you keeps falling…Deep in my heart. In the dark of night, on Dark's wings…silently…your snow keeps falling.—Dark

The voices always get louder if he lost focus, like they are now! He could get it to go if he freezes someone or maybe give them a curse that'll take sometime to find the cure to. Tough he prefers the cursing; not that he's a machonist of any kind. Nope, he was a sadist just barely crossing the line of machonism and sadism. But of course that only stopped them for so long, Freedert-his aunt- had told him that his problem was clarity, he saw things to clearly.

Of course she had also told him that it might be because of "that big brain you have in there" she said as she pointed at his head. Okay so he was a prodigy, a genius, who could blame him? It wasn't his fault that they weren't as smart as him or-has he like to put it- he wasn't as dumb and stupid as them.

"The filth, hatred, lies; betrayals…don't even get me started," Freedert had told him, "That clings to human beings. And the things that manage to get to Earth through the gate." That was one reason he was allowed on Earth.

Unlike his brothers, he could detect these things-the Imprisoned- nobody knew how they managed it but they did. Getting through the Gate was the hardest thing to do without permission and they did it. That was the reason he was one of the few allowed to go to Earth out of the Royales. Plus he wasn't even supposed to be part of the Royales so it wouldn't even matter if he died or not.

Freedert had ordered the glasses that he wore when she had learned he was going, not that he really needed them; that they were for his protection.

The voices were always telling him lies, every second, every minute, which was why going Imprisoned hunting was dangerous. The Searchers, as those who went looking for Imprisoned were called, would most likely go mental after a while. That was why Searchers were so rare, because most who did have the gift wouldn't want to die.

Seconds had turned into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into days, days into weeks, weeks into months, months into years and years into centuries. That was how long he had waited. Waited for his revenge and now that he was so close…He had to wait again. But a little more waiting couldn't hurt anyone now…or could it?

It had been a month since Daisuke had summoned Satoshi and the boy absolutely refused to come out of the locket. One afternoon, Dark was happily singing 'School's Out' with the stereo while Daisuke was sitting reading a book when Krad came in, grabbed the stereo and turned it off, which was hard to do since Dark was throwing it around and dancing with it.

"Hey! Give that back" Dark yelled.

"That is the most horrible and the most terrible singing I've ever heard," Krad said still holding the device, "How do you keep listening to this Daisuke?"

"Uhh? Oh…earplugs!" Daisuke reached into his ear and pulled said things out. "And you do know that terrible and horrible basically means the same thing?"

"I don't care. And Dark," Krad said while putting the stereo on a shelf next to Daisuke, "Don't even think about turning it on." He then went up the stairs, mumbling to himself about how 'unappropiate' it was to look down on your elders.

"It's 'inappropriate' not 'unappropiate'."

Krad stopped at the first landing and flew back down, enraged at the red hair. "Satoshi, how many times have I told you to keep that humongous mouth of yours out of my life?" Each sentence was emphasized with the pull of Satoshi's ear.

"Probably longer than I've been alive." Satoshi removed the illusion that made him looked like Daisuke while rubbing his abused ear.

Dark, who had been looking on at the interaction between the two was now confounded. "What the heck is going on?"

"F.Y.I- he's my brother, well…my soon-to-be-dead brother anyways." This was said while trying to throw Satoshi out of the window.

"Either you are drunk and delusional or you are having a nightmare to finally recognize me as a family!" Satoshi replied coolly.

Further destruction of the house was minimized when Emiko came into the room, a couple of clothes levitating behind her. "Guess what my lovelies?" She said.

"What?" Dark asked.

"We are having our annual party to welcome new familiars and guess who the guest of hoonnnnoorrr is?" Emiko did a little twirl and winked at them.

"Satoshi!" The two young men shouted with excitement.

"No!" Satoshi said. "I will not be wearing those dresses nor will I be modeling your new line of clothing."

Satoshi went upstairs, leaving a shock and disappointed Emiko behind, she turned to Krad and Dark.

"Loves, do something. I already went and signed him up, I even bought the clothes!"

"Usually when he says 'no' it stays 'no'. Why don't you make Daisuke look like him and take him instead? Believe me, if you make Satoshi do what he doesn't want to, you might as well be living in hell." Krad warned her.

"Okay!" Emiko would have liked to pursue Satoshi but it was rare that Krad lie. And anyway since he told her they were brothers, an explanation to why he doesn't come out of the locket, she believed him since he knew him for more than a month. "Give the clothes to Daisuke."

Taking the bags off the floor, both boys climbed the stairs to Daisuke's room but when Dark opened the door; he hit the red hair on the head with it, knocking him out.

At that moment, flashes of people went through Daisuke's head. He could see a beautiful palace, a really big house and a school? It wasn't like any school he had ever seen, and the uniforms were different. They were hanged with something like a hook, and were all in a row. Then he saw it, it was like a comet, come straight for him. No, not for him but for his house. The house shook and everything went black.

Emiko was in the kitchen when it happened; she had gone there for tea. She was wondering when Kosuke would be back from whenever he went when, out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed it. The red hot fireball heading for the house. It was too close and too late to do anything. The fireball collided with the house and everything shook, she closed her eyes and waited for it to melt through her skin and turn her into smoldering ash.

It never happened. She opened her eyes to see that she was outside; a blue haired boy was supporting her.

"Satoshi?" It was barely a whisper but the boy turned to her and she realized it was Satoshi. She gazed around, waiting for the rest of her family to jump out from behind her and startle her. Her gaze landed on where the house should have been, it was nothing but ash.

"Emiko."

The voice from behind her and she recognized it belonging to Kosuke, he must have came back early. The hands released their hold on her as she turned to face her husband. She ran to him and he threw his arms around her.

"What happened? Where's Daisuke and Dark? Daiki? Wiz?"

She didn't know how to answer so she stayed silent. He must have understood what that meant because he fell to the ground taking her with him. A small "OH!" escaped from his mouth. That was the last straw and she started crying. Deep into her emotional display, they both didn't notice a hand slipping the locket into his pocket.

After walking several blocks, the blunet stopped and activated the spell on the locket. It was a transportation spell and it had only one destination: Earth.

"We didn't manage to save them all but we saved some." A voice said from his left.

Shaking his head, the blunet vanished in a puff of smoke, but not before taking the piece of paper in the other's hand with him, leaving the blond person to his left all alone

"Sure, take the Contract. At least we finished half of it. Now to sleep for several decades," after saying that the blond vanished leaving a coil of smoke behind. Their task was finished, for the moment.

Author's Note

That was short and took a whole different spin from what I intended. But it works. For those of you confused, you will understand everything soon.
