Chapter 1: First Meeting
No one really knew about me, or about anyone else for that fact. My past was hidden from me and even anyone I knew. My parents never liked me knowing about my past, and it was only because it only brought pain to people. My mother just got admitted into the hospital recently because she suffers from heart cancer. No, I really didn't want anyone to know about this, but of course it got out.
News spreads around my school like no tomorrow. So by the end of the day my mom was in the hospital, everyone knew. Azumano Junior High knew, though I am in my last year there...I just, hate when people feel sorry for me.
"Kari-chan!" I hear Riku-chan call to me. I turn and face her and she comes running up to me looking worried. I didn't tell her about my mom, they're my cousins, her and her twin sister Risa-chan, who I don't really get along with as well.
"Eh, Riku-chan! Why are you at school? Aren't you sick?" I ask her in worry. She shakes her head and then she looks around worriedly. I see Risa-chan coming up behind her. I sigh in annoyance and then start walking away. "Oh, I meant to ask you how Daisuke-kun is doing." I tell her in thought. She stares at me in shock.
"He's the same as always." She tells me and then she turns and walks towards her class. "Are you coming over later on today?" I tell her yes and then walk into my classroom.
"Kari, I'm sorry about your mom, how is she doing?" My friend Saki asks in worry. Her blue eyes were filling with tears.
"Ah, well...they said she'd be okay, but she's...yeah. She's in really bad shape." I tell her looking down. My ice green eyes start filling with water. I could feel the tears coming. I stop myself from crying. I hide my face behind my long dark brown hair. I don't want this anymore, I don't even want to think. I just want to go home!
"Harada Kari." I hear the principle call gravely. I knew then, that she didn't make it. I get up and leave the classroom automatically seeing my father waiting for me at the front door. I shake my head at him, and say nothing.
As they spoke to me about preparations the principle tells me that I didn't have to come to school. I stare at him and shake my head. No, there was no way I could stay home. It would make me even more depressed.
"Kari-chan, I'm going to the hospital to collect the paperwork and such, I'll be home soon." My father tells me after dropping me off at the house. I didn't move from the front door. I was waiting for something. But I didn't know what it was.
"Why did this happen?" I ask aloud in question. But what I didn't expect was for someone to answer me.
My eyes go wide as I hear a voice in the shadows, but it went away instantly. Must have been my imagination. I decided that I would stay with my cousins for a while after that. I didn't want to stay with my dad because all of our family was coming over. And I didn't want to see them being depressed.
"Thanks for letting me stay with you." I say to my Uncle thankfully. He nods and then goes to his room to comfort my Aunt. My Aunt and mom are sisters, and they were really close ever since they were little. They were twins, just like Riku-chan and Risa-chan.
"Kari-chan, Daisuke-kun said he was going to come over and see you." Riku-chan tells me smiling.
"Oh, Dark-san!" I hear Risa-chan call from the TV room. I look over at the TV and see the Phantom Thief on the screen. It wasn't that interesting to me, I don't really care about people like that. So full of themselves.
People like that really irritate me. People like Risa-chan who thinks she can get anything she wants. That's not the case of life. No one gets whatever they want, no one is ever happy. No one is ever happy!
"Why is everyone so obsessed with that pervert?" Riku-chan asks in annoyance. At that point we turn around and see Daisuke-kun behind us.
"Dai-chan!" I say in excitement. Only me and his mom, Emiko-san, call him that. I go and hug him and he looks at me gravely.
"I'm really sorry about your mom." He tells me looking down.
I didn't want to talk about it. I didn't want anyone to give me sympathy. I wanted to be left alone when it came to that. I shake my head at him and then see a flash of purple in his red eyes. I shake my head in shock.
No it must have been my imagination. Daisuke-kun seemed a bit off as I stare into his eyes again in interest. He looks away and then goes and hugs Riku-chan. No way in hell... I stare at him and then I see Daisuke-kun flash into Dark for a moment. "EH?!" I yell in shock. Riku-chan lets go of Daisuke-kun and then comes over to me.
"Kari-chan, maybe you should go to sleep! You've had a long day, you seem really sad!" Riku-chan explains while Risa-chan was still gushing over Dark.
"Oh Dark-san, when will you accept my feelings?" She says dreamily.
"How about never?" I say to myself smirking. Daisuke-kun looks at me for a moment and smiles innocently. I look at him for a moment and then shrug. Riku-chan leads me to my room and then I get ready to go to sleep.
Late that night I feel a cold breeze go through the room. I go onto my other side and put the covers up to my cheek. I then hear someone's voice. "You're right." Was all the voice said.
But of course, being me, I thought it was in my dream. When I wake up the next morning I find white flowers in my room. I look at them in confusion. "Hey Riku-chan! Do you know who these flowers are from?!" I yell to Riku-chan in question.
She pokes her head into the room and looks at the roses in thought. "Hm, no. No one's come to the door or anything." She tells me in confusion. I stare at the roses for a moment longer and then sigh.
There was no card either. A mystery lover? Of course not, that's impossible. But Riku-chan was saying that it must be true. I sigh in annoyance and then ask her what was happening today. She told me the funeral was tomorrow. Nothing for today. The funeral was only going to be for close family and friends.
I didn't want to ever go to the funeral, I didn't want to believe she was actually dead. If she had gone to the hospital and gotten treatment when the doctors told her to this wouldn't have happened!
My cell phone starts ringing suddenly and I see Saki-chan calling me. I pick it up and she tells me she heard my mom died yesterday and that she was really sorry. I got a lot of cards. I didn't want any of them. I got a lot of phone calls, I ignored them all.
Riku-chan in the end just started telling people to leave me alone. Risa-chan went out to go and find Dark that night because apparently they had a 'date' or something.
"Riku-chan, if you want to go out you can. You don't have to stay here with me. I'll be fine." I tell her smiling.
I then make her go out with Daisuke-kun like she was supposed to that night. And I also went out. I went to the park, it was very beautiful. The sun was starting to set when I heard the commotion. Something about Dark.
Me of course, not caring about him didn't go to wherever he was. I sit on the bench and lean back looking at the stars. I then saw black wings fly above me. My eyes go wide and I stand quickly and fall on my knees.
I see someone come up beside me dressed in all black. I stand quickly and back away from them. "Who are you?!" I ask in shock.
I see a smirk go across the guy's face. I then realized who it was. But wasn't he supposed to be with Risa-chan or something? "Did you like the flowers?" I hear him say in his soothing voice. It drew my in, I wanted to go up to him and hug him.
"That was you?!" I ask in shock. I nearly trip over something but he catches me quickly. I stare into his eyes and then try to get out of his grip. Suddenly his face expression changed and he backs away from me.
He then flies away as quickly as possible. But I heard voices. I heard Dark's voice, and then Daisuke-kun's voice. I run over to the trees and gasp in shock as I see Daisuke-kun wearing the exact same clothes as Dark just was. But wasn't Daisuke-kun with Riku-chan? I get out my cellphone and call her instantly.
She confirmed that she was with Daisuke-kun. That was weird, who was this then? I run into the trees while he was talking to himself. "Who are you?" I ask him quickly.
He jumps at the sound of my voice and then turns and faces me and smiles. "Kari-chan, it's me...Daisuke..." He tells me obviously.
"Well guess what...I just called Riku-chan and she told me Dai-kun was with her! So who are you?" I say warningly. He stares at me in shock and then shakes his head.
"Now I have to tell her." Dai-kun says to himself, but it was more like...he walk talking to himself. He sighs and then turns towards me and then right in front of my eyes...there was Dark.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I yell in shock. I back away from him and fall backwards and hit my head.
When I woke up the next morning, I thought it was all a dream. All of it, even my mother dying. Or well...I had hoped that part was a dream. But apparently it wasn't. So then...Daisuke-kun could actually be...Dark?
