Chapter 6

I stood speechless at the white clad angel in front of me. He held the sword he used to cut the bridge and my shoulder.

"Hello again," he spoke at last. "Ally."

My stomach clenched when he said my name. The way he says my name makes my stomach turn upside down.

"Why, you don't look at all happy to see me," Krad shrugged. "Why is that?" he smiled sinisterly.

I didn't say a word.

Krad's smile disappeared and turned into a frown. "Why?" he stated more sternly.

Again, I didn't answer.

Krad flew up to me and grabbed my cheeks with his free hand. "WHY?!" he yelled.

"Let…me…go…" I struggled to get him off. Tears began to form in my eyes.

The sadistic angel leaned his face closer to me. "Let me tell you something," he began. "Right here, right now." I shivered when his hot breath hit my face. "My whole life is devoted to destroying My Other Half, Dark Mousy. You have gone with him to every theft for the past six months. Now, since you are on his side, you shall die."

I gasped. Tears now flowed like a waterfall down my face. "No!" I said.

"What?"

"I said 'no'," I repeated. "Dark won't…let you! You sadistic creep!" it felt like a ton of weight was taken off my shoulders when I said that.

Krad's face was now red as a cherry. He put me down. "What did you call me?!"

"You heard me." I placed my hands on my hips. "You…sadistic…creep."

He yelled as he swung the sword and I jumped back, the tip barely missing my foot. I looked up.

"Someone's cranky," I teased. "What, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bird nest this morning?"

His face got even redder. The bird nest joke set him off. Looking behind me, I noticed that I was almost on the edge of the cliff.

While I was occupied, I didn't notice Krad raise his sword again. When I saw the shadow, I turned in fright to see him just in front of me. I did not have time to jump out of the way.

He swung the sword down but I was too frightened that my brain wasn't working. It was like my legs had a mind of their own. They moved back and I fell right off the side of the cliff.

Once I knew what was happening, I looked down. The cliff was one hundred feet high, so I was falling to certain death.

I screamed and closed my eyes. As I fell, I felt the tears' wetness on my sore cheeks.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!" I screamed as loud as I could.

Suddenly, it felt as if I was flying. It wasn't me. I felt sudden warmth when the sensation began.

"You getting into a lot of trouble lately, Ally," a familiar voice said.

My eyes shot open. The cloth was a black, no-sleeved raised collar shirt with white accents around the ends of the sleeves and straight down the middle. I looked up to see deep purple hair.

"Dark!" I cried, tears streaming down my face. I wrapped my arms around his warm chest and pressed up against it.

"I think should get you home," he changed direction. Now we headed towards my home.

"Don't think you're getting away, Dark Mousy!" Krad's voice rand loudly.

He was flying after us. Dark growled as he flew across the two hundred foot long area where the bridge once stood.

"Crap," he veered out of the way as a white beam shot past us. I gasped loudly as Dark's grip on my body tightened. "Better hold on, Ally. This may be a bumpy ride!"

I listened and hugged him tighter.

"Get back here!" Krad yelled. He shot another beam, which Dark successfully dodged again.

I closed my eyes, not wanting to see the fight.

Suddenly, Dark turned again. I opened up my eyes to see us going away from my house, Krad still following us.

"Darn it, Krad," Dark cursed under his breath.

I hugged Dark tighter as we went straight down towards the water. We were a hundred feet in the air and falling fast towards the water.

"Dark!" I yelled. "What are you-"

"Don't worry," he interrupted me. "I know what I'm doing!"

I hoped so.

Once we were several feet above the water, he straightened out and flew sideways again, but Krad was still flying about fifty or sixty feet behind us. He still shot beams at us, which Dark kept dodging.

I looked at Krad and gasped. He was pulling a white feather out and aiming the pointy end towards Dark's back. Frantically, I tugged on Dark's shirt.

"Dark! Dark!" I screamed, still looking at Krad. "Look out!"

Krad shot the feather out quickly. I tugged at Dark's shirt more frantically, my eyes locked on the feather.

"Look out!" I screamed louder, now looking at Dark's face.

"Don't worry, I'm-" his voice was cut short as the white feather dug itself into Dark's back.

"DARK!" I cried, tears streaming out of my eyes.

He opened one eye and half smiled down at me. "I'll-be fine," he said in a pain-filled voice. "Let's just-get you home."

We flew off towards my house as Dark's crimson blood stained my hands and forearms.

"Dark! I shall get you! And your little girlfriend too!" Krad yelled.

As soon as we got to my house, Dark put me down and grabbed his head. Wiz jumped off his back and landed on my shoulder, his paws a bit red.

"Dark…" I grabbed his shoulder as he began to fall forward.

"I'm fine," he whispered painfully.

"No, you're not." I stated. "We need to call Emiko and tell her what happened." I put his hand over my shoulder and walked in.

I put him on the couch and grabbed a first-aid kit. He sat quietly as I walked over and sat next to him. Opening the box, I pulled out a big roll of bandages and a cloth.

"Take your shirt off." I instructed.

He did as I said and put the shirt on the floor. I was now blood soaked. I began to clean up the blood around his wound and the feather, buried half way into his back.

'Man,' I thought. 'He's just so…silent. He's obeying me even though he's injured badly.' I blushed. His back was strong. The feather had hit him square in the middle of his shoulder blades, a bad spot.

"Okay," I sighed, grabbing the feather in between my fingers. "I'm gonna start to pull out the feather, so you may want to bite into this." I handed him a washcloth. He took it without a work and placed it in his mouth.

"Okay," I sighed. "I'm gonna pull it out in three…two…one." I tugged the feather and it slid out a bit. Dark gave off a low yell of pain as the feather slid out.

About a minute later, I managed to pull the feather out completely. The boy relaxed as I threw the bloody feather to the floor. I grabbed a clean cloth and began to wipe away the new blood.

"Alright," I told him. "I'm going to wrap the bandage tightly around your wound. Then I'll call Emiko."

He just nodded.

'Why isn't he talking?' I thought, wrapping the bandage around him.

Once I was done, I stood up. "Okay, it's five now. My mom won't be home for another two hours. I'm gonna call Emiko."

Dark nodded again, his head still down. 'What's bugging him?' I thought picking up the phone and dialing Daisuke's home phone number.

"Hello?" Emiko's voice sounded worried.

"Hi, Emiko," I replied. "It's me, Ally."

"Oh, Ally," she sighed. "Have you seen Dai? He was supposed to be home by now."

"Well, that's why I called." I looked at Dark. 'He looks depressed. Is he alright?' I thought.

"What?" Emiko broke my train of thought. "What is it?"

"Well, on my way home, Krad attacked me and Dark rescued me." I explained. I then remembered she got home with Kosuke, Daiki, and Towa at five exactly, so Daisuke got home before and left before. "While he was flying me home, Krad shot a feather and it landed in between Dark's shoulder blades. He's here right now. I bandaged him up, but…"

"What is it, Ally?" she asked.

"Has something been bothering Dark lately?" I lowered my voice so Dark couldn't hear. "While I was helping him, he never talked."

"Um…not that I know of." Emiko replied. "But we're coming now to get him."

"Please hurry." I said. "Bring your first-aid kit please. The bandages I used are not going to last long." I noticed a worried tone in my voice. A tear ran down my cheek.

"Of course, Ally." she replied. "I'll see you in a minute." she hung up.

I put the phone on the receiver and walked in to pick up Dark's shirt and the feather.

"Ally," Dark's voice startled me.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you…" he said. "for helping me out."

I smiled. "No. I should be thanking you for rescuing me."

Wiz, who was lying on the back of the couch, let out a "kyuu!" and jumped onto my shoulder.

I pet his head. "You too, Wiz." I looked up at Dark and felt a gasp catch in my throat.

He was crying.

"What's wrong, Dark?" I asked.

"Nothing. It's just…" he wiped the tear away and looked at me with a fake smile. "I'm just so happy someone like you…cares for a thief like me."

My heart squeezed. That was one of the most nicest things he has ever said to me. I smiled back at him. "No problem." I replied, feeling a tear in my eye.

I stood up and threw the feather away. As I walked past Dark to put his shirt on the table near the hall, I felt a strong hand on my wrist.

I looked at Dark. "What's up?" I asked.

With no reply, he pulled my arm and I sat down next to him. He took my neck and placed his lips on mine. My eyes widened as I felt his warm breath on my skin. I dropped the shirt on the floor.

This was the second time he has kissed me in a week.

We were alone. No one around. I felt like we were the only one's on Earth again.

I closed my eyes and put my arms around his neck. Kissing him back, my heart felt like it was going to break my ribs. It was as if I've known him forever.

He pulled away and I sat there, dazed at what just happened. Then he put his arms around me and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back.

Then he said three words I will never forget.

"I love you."

I was amazed at his words because I loved him too.

Just as I opened my mouth to reply, the doorbell chimed loudly. I pushed him away and smiled.

"I'll be right back," I stood up and ran, still dazed, to the door.

"Hi, Ally," Emiko smiled as I opened the door. Behind her was Towa, Kosuke, and Daiki.

"Come right in." I smiled back. "Dark's in the living room."

They followed me to the loving room where Dark was sitting on the couch. Emiko, being the woman she is, ran right up to him and hugged him.

"Oh, I was so worried!" she cried, looking at him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," he replied as the others crowded around him.

Towa took off the bandages and began to expertly clean his wound. He winced, but looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.

What happened a few minutes before was between me, him, and Daisuke.

"Done." Towa said, pretending to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

She had cleaned the wound up better than I did and rewrapped it with better bandages.

"Let's go home," Kosuke stated. "We need to get dinner going." he looked at me as the others stood up. "Do you wanna join us?"

I waved my hands in front of me. "Oh, no. I can cook something up here." I picked up Dark's shirt and handed it to it's rightful owner. "Here you go."

"Thanks." he slid it on. When he turned away, I saw the big hole lined with dried crimson blood where Krad's feather hit him.

"Thank you, Ally," Emiko thanked me.

"No problem." I replied.

They left and Dark stopped at the end of my driveway. He turned to look back at me and smiled. But it wasn't his regular smile. It was an I-love-you kind of smile.

I smiled back and closed the door. When I locked it, I sighed and leaned up against the door.

Man, both Monday and today, Krad had attacked us. Wonder what would happen tomorrow, I went to the kitchen and began to make something to eat.
Chapter six is up! Oh I just love this chapter. Long though. I sat in front of my computer working on it for about an hour. My elbow hurts now, but I don't care.

It's so heartfelt at the end of this chapter. Oh, by the way, when I said Monday and today towards the end, the day is Tuesday. The week long break mentioned in the first chapter is refering to Thanksgiving break, so the days in the story so far are December 2nd (Monday) and 3rd (Tuesday). Just wanted to make sure you all understand.

I almost cried at the end when Dark told me he loved me. I just love Dark! He rocks! I finally bought DNAngel volume 1, so now I have 1 and 3. I have 1 because me and a friend haven't read it yet cause my school has 2-8 and 11 available to check out.

Thanks for the advice.
What I was thinking for chapter 7 or any chapters wthout me in the scene will be in third perso pov just like in the Maximunm Ride series. What do you think?
I was going to lay off the Krad attacks anyways.
I must have mispelled living room because the "I" is right next to the "O".
