Chapter 1
A Rushed Morning
A stern looking woman walked briskly up to the school. She had a meeting with her daughter, Karu's, guidance councillor at 2 o' clock. It was 5 to 2 and according to her, tardiness was a crime punishable by death.
She punched the intercom button and listened for the beep that would permit her to speak. ''Hello, this is Karu's mother. I am here to speak with Karu's counsellor. I have a meeting at 2 o' clock." She spoke briskly to the intercom. "Yes, Mrs. Garushan we'll buzz you right it." Replied an unseen voice. "Please, call me Alice." She retorted. She was known as Alice by most because her full name of Mrs. Garushan made her feel old.
There was a buzzing noise. Alice tapped her foot impatiently as the automatic door swung open.
Alice stepped confidently into the office. A tall, remotely attractive, woman came up to her from around a corner. Holding out her hand the woman said, "You must be Mrs. Garushan, Karu's mother. It is nice to meet you." "Please," retorted Alice as she had to the intercom, "call me Alice." With a smile, the woman led Alice into a very small room with only three chairs and a desk covered in papers. To Alice, disorganization was also a crime and she looked at the desk with distain. "I think we need to have a chat." said Alice as she sat down. "About what in particular?" inquired the counsellor whose name was Ms. Anderson. "About my daughter." Alice answered. "Yes I figured this was about her, considering I am her counsellor, but what about her?" replied a slightly annoyed Ms. Anderson. "Why she is always sitting by herself at lunch?" demanded Alice as if it were the counsellor's fault. Seeing the determined look in the eyes of the woman opposite her, Mrs. Anderson searched desperately for an answer, "Well, you see some of our kids prefer to, ah, how shall I put this, keep themselves to themselves, and the other kids seem to...well...distance themselves from her." Alice was definitely offended now, "Why? My daughter always seems to be upset about having no people to sit with." Ms. Anderson was at a loss once again, "I am not sure why. I can't be expected to know everything." She thought for a moment, "Their is one boy who seems to enjoy her company," Ms. Anderson started, "sadly, however, for some reason he always seems to comes late, but none of the faculty, I included, will ever understand Daisuke. Anyway, I'm sure this is just a phase Karu is going through."
On the other side of town, Daisuke was sitting up in bed, changing the bandages on his wrists.
(Last night really did a number on me.)
((I think the commander is enjoying this.)) Said a sleepy voice in the back of his mind
Daisuke glanced at the clock,
(Oh no!) He panicked (not again!)
He hastily finished his bandage, threw on some clothes, grabbed a piece of toast, and bolted out the door leaving his mom dumbfounded. "Remember to be home at 7:45 sharp tonight Daisuke," her mom called at his back, "you have work to do at 8:00 tonight!"
Behind the school a slender boy with light blue hair and eyes to match suddenly doubled over in pain, "not…now…Krad" he said weakly while trying to stand up straight only to fall back down to his knees.
/Why not my darling? I won't cause trouble, much…/ laughed a voice from within the struggling boy
/I don't trust you/
/I will find out who that person is… the one you are always thinking of…I will find them./ warned the maniacal angel and with that the pain stopped. The curled up frame of Satoshi Hiwatari stood up slowly and limped back towards the school, every step a huge effort.
"Perhaps Karu should try to engage the other kids in conversation," Ms. Anderson was saying, "maybe she is simply not trying hard enough." Alice was looking imploringly at the counsellor "Can't you help her?"
"I..." started the woman, "maybe she just needs some encouragement."
Meanwhile Daisuke was sprinting down street after street wishing his mom would tell him before sending out warnings notices and having an argument with a certain alter ego.
((I don't know, you always seem to be running late. I'm never late.)) Said the Phantom Thief mockingly.
(I'm not always late.)
((Are too!))
(Are not!)
((Are too!))
(Are…) it was useless arguing
(Why don't you just go to sleep?)
((aww… come on, don't be like that, I'm bored…))
(…)
((Let me out!)) Daisuke abruptly stopped running at this outburst in his head.
"What…? NO WAY!" yelled Daisuke out loud earning confused stares from a few passing people. In the back of his mind he heard an echo of a laugh.
((Fine then))
Satoshi heard running. He quickened his pace and walked around to the front of the school and saw a familiar head of red hair. A quick stab of pain in his chest forced him to lean on the wall for support. /trying hard today, huh? Not now, later/ With those last words the pain receded and he peered around the corner once more to see his classmate standing in front of a window.
"Does she come down here often?" asked Alice. "Not as much as she used to. I thought she might have found a group of kids to hang with." was the reply.
Daisuke had finally arrived at school only to find the front door locked shut.
(Damnit)
((Well, that sucks))
(I thought you where sleeping.) Daisuke laughed as fake snoring noises came from his odd alter-ego. He looked around and noticed a nearby window.
(Hmm…that's the window next to the office isn't it?)
((beats me..))
(just go to sleep)
He glanced around quickly, and walked up to the window, his mind began to race,
(ok, so, all the school windows are equipped with a debrac z1gii each with an individual key code and card number so…)
((stop it you're giving me a head ache))
Pausing to roll his eyes at his counterpart he pushed a button on the underside of the digital lock. The front case fell off and a key pad was revealed. He punched some seemingly random numbers in and the window popped open. With a final glance around and a surprising amount of agility Daisuke jumped in the window and closed it behind him.
Hearing a bell ring from inside the school, Satoshi walked over to the window his classmate and just disappeared inside of and relocked in. Then walked around to the side of the school where Satoshi had left a door propped open.
"You know you can just use the door next time." Daisuke jumped at the sound to see only his friend standing there, "Oh it's you." He said with a nervous breath. Karu laughed, "What? Were you expecting the police?" Daisuke laughed too trying to sound convincing.
(Oh no! a normal kid wouldn't have been able to do that.)
((sucks for you))
(You're not helping)
((I could help if you want me to))
(…)
((just let me out and…))
(NO WAY!)
Dark chuckled once more as Daisuke realized that while he was having this internal argument, his friend was still standing in front of him with a confused look on her face, "Dai….?" "I'll explain later." cut in Daisuke, "Hey, stop by the office with me, I need to check in with Ms. Anderson."
Alice was desperately searching for an answer. "Did she come often in the beginning of the school year?" "Yes she did... then she stopped when Daisuke transferred so I figured she had found a friend." Said Ms. Anderson not really seeing what's wrong with having only one good friend. Seeming to read the counsellor's thoughts, Alice answered her mental question, "My daughter tells me Daisuke isn't in school much, so when he is not there, Karu is alone." Just then a clumsy little red head burst through the door. "sorryimlate.imhere.gottago.bye." said Daisuke in a single breath, his heart still pounding with nerves. He stared for a moment, then ran out of the room. "Speak of the devil." said Ms. Anderson under her breath. "I heard that." called Daisuke.
Satoshi rounded the corner and saw that red head once more and noticed that he had a poorly bandaged wrist. /how did he…/
/You don't remember..?/ mocked Krad
Satoshi closed his eyes and remembered white feathers, razor sharp, and a yell of pain from their intended target. /oh yeah./
"Ok, I'm back." Daisuke said running back over to Karu. "What's wrong?!" asked Karu, a worried expression covering her fine features, "You look like you only got 4 hours of sleep!" "That's not bad, considering I only got 2." Daisuke joked as they started to walk down the hall. "What were you doing that kept you up so late?" inquired Karu once again assuming a worried tone.
((aww, she's worried about us.))
(Not us, me.)
"I was…uhhh…" Daisuke was struggling to find an answer when he suddenly walk straight into none other than… "H-Hiw-Hiwatari!" Daisuke stammered.
((oh no, it's creepy boy! I'm soooo scared)) mocked Dark with a fake shudder.
(Shut up)
"Hello Niwa." Said the teen commander. While Daisuke was having this internal discussion, Satoshi grabbed his fellow student's wrist, where the bandages were hanging off loosely from earlier that morning. Daisuke felt his temperature rise and his heart begin to race.
((DAISUKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU CANT TRANSFORM HERE IN FRONT OF CREEPY BOY!))
Daisuke was roused from the thief's yelling by a different voice that had taken on a rare tone of worry, "Niwa?" Daisuke looked into the clear blue eyes staring down at him, "wha…" started Daisuke, "I was just telling you to be more careful," said Satoshi who was carefully rewrapping his classmate's wrist, "you're so clumsy sometimes."
/well isn't that sweet/
/I wasn't asking you opinion/
"yeah, I am, sorry," Daisuke said pulling away in a panic, "well don't want to be late" Said the Daisuke who hadn't realized Karu had left and was already talking with a group of girls in the classroom leaving him alone with Satoshi. Daisuke tried to turn and walk into the classroom himself but Satoshi still had a hold on his arm. Pulling the red head back towards him, "I mean it, be careful." Said the bluenette. "yeah" said Daisuke in a daze as he sat in his desk exactly one seat to the left and one row back from Satoshi. After taking one last lingering glance at those crimson eyes, Satoshi turned and sat down at his own desk.
/Curious, I've never felt these kinds of emotions from you before/
/shut up Krad!/
/No need to be rude, I was just curious. So this is this competition you have been thinking of my Satoshi-sama , my love, my everything…/
/Shut up! I mean nothing to you!/
/Nothing? You words hurt me dear Satoshi-sama./
/SHUT UP!/
Yelled Satoshi in his mind with such anger that he almost screamed it aloud. He heard a maniacal laugh as the demonic angel receded back into the far reaches of Satoshi's mind. Meanwhile, one row back and one seat to the left, Daisuke was experiencing something completely different.
(ok so, if 5x-8a+12xb(4ab-7x)c 2abcx, then 6x+7abc-cb-8c equals….)
((SHUT UP!))
(huh?)
((you're giving me a headache))
(its just math)
((then why are there letters?))
(just ignore it and go to sleep)
((I cant sleep with you thinking that much))
(well sorry I have to pay attention)
((well don't! pay attention to something else…like Hiwatari-kun))
(that's even harder to figure out….I think I'll take the math problem)
((you're funny))
(mmmm…)
Daisuke started to write something down as he felt Dark relax into a sleep. He let his mind drift.
(Hiwarati-kun huh? I wonder…)
((OH GOD NO DAISUKE DON'T THINK OF THINGS LIKE THAT THAT IS COMPLETELY PREVERTED! I DON'T WANT TO SEE CREEPY BOY LIKE THAT! AHHHH! IM SCARED FOR LIFE!))
Daisuke just smiled.
