D. N. Angel Fan Fiction ❯ By the Light of the Moon; Romance of life and death ❯ The Wager ( Chapter 1 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Ok, tis my first D.N.Angel fic so I hope all goes smoothly <.< >.> The idea for this story actually stemmed from a dream I had. All events took place in the dream… It was a bit strange that I actually dreamed in character sense… My stories usually come from my dreams but never like this one. Usually most of my dreams don't have a character specified, I just pick which anime suited the idea best, but this one was solely D.N.Angel. The dialogue, though, was not in the dream… well not all of it anyway, just some of it.
Chapter 1
Daisuke hugged Riku one last time. The two had decided to continue their relationship as just being friends.
After serious consideration they realized, they just weren't meant for each other. Dark had come to realize that he preferred the male gender, namely Dark. And Riku had discovered that maybe she kinda liked females, though being bi-curious was a little more reasonable considering she was still too young to decide. On top of that, she was discovering a new like-ness for Dark.
“I'll see you tomorrow?”
“Hai…”
“Oyasuminasai, Riku-chan.”
“Oyasumi, Dai-kun.”
The two bowed and left their separate ways, elated that they were able to `break-up' on good terms.
Daisuke attempted to call upon Dark to inform him that if he really wanted to go for Riku that she was free. Though he had a thing for Dark, and he knew it would hurt him deeply if the thief were to go with Riku, he also knew that nothing could come of the two. For one, he and Dark shared a body; two, he knew Dark was in love with Riku; and three, no matter his feelings, he wanted the two people he cared about most to be happy.
/Dark?/
Nothing.
/Dark? You there?/
Again…. Nothing.
/Dark?!/
Not a peep.
Daisuke frowned, wondering if maybe Dark somehow found out about his feelings and was angry or repulsed that the young boy had feelings for him.
That night as Daisuke lay down to sleep he felt a sharp and painful pang in his chest. He struggled to breathe as he curled up into the fetal position. The pain was too strong as he fell into unconsciousness.
*In Daisuke's Dream*
Daisuke found himself in a room lit with a dim red safety light. As he attempted to move he found his whole body to be bound by chains.
“What the…?”
“Aah, I see you're awake… in a manner of speaking.” Said an amused male voice. “However this will not last for very long.”
“Who are you?”
“That is of no importance to you.”
“Where am I?”
“You are in my chamber.”
“Why am I chained?”
“Because you do not belong here.”
“Then why am I here?”
“Because I have brought you here.”
“Why?”
The man sighed, “I have spent many a long years waiting for someone to fall into this realm. I fear I have grown lonely and I thought maybe you could help me.”
“Me? But how?”
“By filling my otherwise boring existence with a little entertainment.”
The red-head looked confused.
“I know of your feelings for the one whom sleeps within you, and I wish to help.”
“Why would you want to help me? And how? He's a spirit that shares my body. We cannot possibly be together if we share a body… can we?”
The man smirked, “What was that saying? That if the love is requited then you will be separated?”
Daisuke frowned.
“I have the power to separate you two. You will each have a body of your own.”
“But…”
“However,” The man cut him off, “You only have a certain amount of time. If you do not win him within the time permitted you will be mine. Your sole will be forced to stay here with me.”
Daisuke gulped, “What if I don't agree to these terms?”
“Then you are of no use to me. I can either keep you here for my own personal use or I can kill you if you refuse to cooperate.”
“How much time do I have?”
“I will let you know in your dreams. To make things a little more interesting I shall let you in on a little secret, just to speed things up a little.”
The man grasped the boy's chin and gazed longingly into the innocent cinnamon eyes, “One cannot live without the other. The longer you two are separated without the other's love the weaker one will slowly perish.”

K-F-P: I think this is a good place to leave off for chapter 1. Chapter 2 will be along soon, I hope… depending on work, snow (gotta shovel that damn cold shtuff ::shivers:: ), and whether I can stay awake (So sleepy ~.~zzz)
