Chapter 1:
Daisuke stared blankly, gazing at the fluttering birds that soared freely in the azure sky. He envied their freedom of flying outside, while he had to be stuck in the classroom, listening to the sensei's constant lecture. It didn't mean he hated school, on the contrary he enjoyed his life at school, he just felt slightly at unease, as if something was missing from his little teenage life.
No. Something was missing from his life, eluding him as he sought to imagine what he desired. He jerked his head, and as his gaze landed on the fair Risa Harada, he wondered –
Abruptly the sensei saw that he wasn't paying attention, and skillfully threw a chalk stick towards his head. The years of intense training that included dodging deadly traps had taken effect on him. Daisuke absentmindedly waved his hand, with utmost precision and accuracy he easily deflected the chalk stick, saving his beautiful red, spiky hair.
The sensei was at a loss for words, and it wasn't till a flurry of whispers that filled the room did Daisuke actually realize what had happened. "Daisuke Niwa," said the sensei at last," It's good that you have excellent reflexes, but please pay attention." The rest oh the class giggled in amusement, Daisuke slightly blushed in embarrassment, especially when he saw Risa Harada laughing softly. "Hai sensei, gomen nasai."
Daisuke became unusually quiet during the rest of the day, to his relief no one seemed to notice this. He dwelled solely on the fact that he had embarrassed himself in front of his crush, Risa Harada. Daisuke and Risa were already close friends; he treated her like a princess, never refusing to help her in any way, especially in daily cleaning.
Risa never reciprocated his feelings for her; rather she seemed oblivious to Daisuke's intentions, unlike her other, more experienced twin sister, Riku Harada. Riku knew that Daisuke had a crush on her twin sister, but kept that to herself.
Class ended swiftly, students rushed out of their classes before the school bell finished ringing, leaving only those who had daily cleaning duties to tend to. "Harada-san," said Daisuke to Risa," Do you need me to help you with cleaning duties?" It was 4 pm, so it was quite impossible for Daisuke to be late for dinner.
Risa smiled at him, oh what a cute smile it was to Daisuke, he couldn't help but blush. "It's okay Niwa-kun, you always work so hard, and you never said no when I asked you for your help. So I think that I should do my job myself today." "Oh, okay then," answered Daisuke as he reluctantly went to his duties.
The evening sky looked just like an artist's paining, all sorts of warm colours filled it, and the sun looked to the distant horizon, slowly sinking below the ocean. "Neh, Harada-san," said Daisuke, who managed to catch up with her, "Ano…is it okay for me to walk you home? It's the least I can do."
Daisuke was desperate to spend time with his crush, and to his delight she smiled and said," Hai, Niwa-kun, as long as it causes you no trouble." "It's not trouble at all," answered Daisuke quickly.
Walking with Risa was a blissful thing for Daisuke, there were times when he would just stare at her kawaii face, then jerked his face when it turned slightly red. Both of them exchanged jokes and engaged themselves enthusiastically in conversation, talking about school and other random stuff.
When they reached a park bench, Daisuke suggested that they rest for a while. "4.49 p, I sure hope I manage to get home in time for dinner," thought Daisuke, but being able to be near to Risa did not make him worry too much, in fact he was willing to stay with Risa even until midnight.
"Niwa-kun, don't move," said Risa suddenly, her gaze fixed on Daisuke. "What's wrong, Harada –"She moved towards him and grabbed a single leaf from his head. The sudden closeness in distance made Daisuke's face turn red, and he silently cursed himself for blushing so many times in one day.
"Maybe we should get going, it's a bad idea to stay outside until dark," said Daisuke, "And I know that you can't wait to get home and take care of poor Riku." Risa smiled at him, "Oh Niwa-kun, you're such a nice and considerate person; whoever becomes your girlfriends will be so lucky." She ended her compliment with a soft giggle, as if it was a mere joke. Daisuke wasn't sure how to respond so he just smiled back at her.
It wasn't long until they reached the doorsteps of Risa Harada and Riku Harada's home. Their huge mansion was especially made for them; their parents were out of the country and weren't going to return any time soon, so the two daughters had the lavish mansion all to themselves.
When Risa was but one step to the door, she turned around to face Daisuke, "Well I'm home, thank you for accompanying me, arigatou gozaimasu Niwa-kun, I really appreciated it." Daisuke rubbed his head and said, "It was no trouble at all, Harada-san." He turned to leave when Risa stopped him.
"Matte, Niwa-kun, I want to say something that I wanted to tell you for a long time." Daisuke's face brightened and he waited for her to continue. "You're a really nice person, Niwa-kin, and according to my precious tarot cards, I know that we'll forever be the best of friends."
A look of disappointment appeared on his face, but he quickly masked it with a broad smile and said," Hai, we'll be best friends for sure." "I knew you would say that," said Risa with a wink. "Well it looks you should get home before your mom scolds you, Niwa-kun. Ja nee!"
When Risa completely closed the door, Daisuke erased his smile and replaced it with a sad frown. Surprisingly though, he wasn't that sad when Risa said that they were going to be 'only' best friends. He wasn't even sure what he was feeling.
Heaving a great sigh he treaded his way to his home.
