Dark's POV
It's the beginning of class and here I am, daydreaming instead of listening to my algebra teacher's lecture on variables. Oh, wait. I guess I am listening! Anyways, what I'm daydreaming about is the girl who is sitting two seats up in the column at my right. Her beautiful, reddish-brown hair framing her face. She was beautiful in her own way. By her own way, I mean that she's not the girly girl who only cares about her looks like her twin sister Risa, or bossy girls who thinks her way is the right way, like Mio. Well, she could be bossy sometimes, but that's only because she's kind of like a tomboy. Of course, you know who I'm talking about, Riku Harada. She loves sports, hates dresses and doesn't mind if she gets herself dirty. wink wink But...as of this moment, we aren't really on speaking terms. She's slightly frustrated about what she heard the day before...
Flashback
" Riku! Is it true that you and Dark Mousey are living in the same house?" Michi cried, a snot-nosed girl and a devoted fan of Dark Mousey.
" W-What? Who said that we are?" Riku replied, shocked.
" Dark-san! He said that you two were living together!" Michi cried. Riku growled slightly.
' Wait 'till I get my hands on him.' Riku thought.
" So are you or aren't you living with Dark Mousey!" Michi cried.
" We're not." Riku finalized as she slammed her locker shut and went to class.
" She's...scary." Michi was terrified and scrambled off to class.
Riku walked through the hallways with a fixed, angry expression. Dark was building a tower out of cards at his desk, when the door to the classroom opened upruptly. The card tower fell down in a matter of seconds.
" Who the hell-- Oh. Hello Riku." Dark covered up with a nervous smile.
" Hello, my butt! Why are you spreading rumors that we're living together?" Riku questioned. Dark just shrugged.
" 'Cuz it's true." Dark replied. The students were whispering with each other. A vein popped, Riku swerved at the class and they quieted.
" We're not living together, for pete's sake!!" Riku yelled.
"...Who's Pete? I hope you don't mean me?" Dark replied sarcastically. Riku glared his way.
" YOU! Fix this now!!" Riku replied, stomping off to her seat and sat herself down, arms crossed on her chest. Dark sweatdropped and turned towards his fans and...er...loyal classmates.
" What Riku-san saying is true. I lied, We don't live together." Dark confessed. The students were talking to one another. One girl spoke up,
" You don't have to lie for us. Riku is forcing you to say what she wants. Don't listen to her. We all know that your word is true."
Dark could've sworn he heard teeth grinding over at his childhood friend's area.
" N-No! It's not like that at all!" Dark stuttered, feeling hate rays radiating out of her.
" Come on, Dark! You don't have to listen to Riku like she owns you." another girl cried.
" LISTEN HERE!" Riku blew up. The two girls flinched.
" Miss Harada, do I have to send you down to the principal's office?" a voice interrupted her. Everyone turned around to see the teacher in the doorway. Riku sat back down,
" I'm sorry, sensei." Riku replied.
End Of Flashback
See, this is why we're not talking. I tried to reason with my fans, but..ahh! They just love me whether I'm right or wrong. Okay, Riku's walking up to me...no...wait, she just walked past me. sighs I should talk to her, right? Okay, here I go.
Normal POV
" Riku!" Dark cried. Riku turned around.
" I'm not speaking to you!" Riku replied.
" Uhh...actually you are." Dark pointed out. Riku blushed and she grumbled something under her breath.
" What can I do for you to forgive me?" Dark replied.
" Go die." Riku spat and continued walking away.
' Die? Can't say that I can. I mean, there's lots of people that need me. Like my fans for instances...and being the person who you'll come crying to. Without me, who'll comfort you, Riku?' Dark thought, watching as Riku walk away. Dark sighed and continued to his destination.
Riku's POV
Dark, Dark, Dark! My day's becoming worse all because of Dark! What in heaven's name is going on in that idiot's head! Lying to others that we're living together, being pestered by his fan girls...and boys...it's enough to drive someone up the wall, mainly me. And yet, he hasn't come up with an apology. Here I am, waiting and waiting for those two words to come out of his mouth and yet he comes up with,
" What can I do for you to forgive me?"
Wrong answer. I'm looking for something along the lines of,
" I'm sorry Riku. I'll tell the whole school that we're not living together and it was just a joke on my part."
But no, here he is acting like this is all just a game to him to get some attention in this miserable school. I've been played before and this one takes the cake altogther. He's my childhood friend, for kami's sake! He should know better than to mess with me, hurt my feelings. He should know, afterall, I come to him for advice, for comfort in all my past experiences of failed loves. He should know, because I trusted him to be there for me and me only. But here he is, playing with me. This hurts me.
" Go die." I had replied that line to him. The cruelty of that sentence was tenfold and yet Dark looked like it was all a joke on my part! If he wanted to know what he should do for me to forgive him is for him to die. Yes, die and every lie, every secret that's been shared between us will go down with him. Then, I can forgive him, because then he'll be a clean slate and the rumor of Dark and Riku living together will be no more.
Normal POV
It was lunch time and Dark thought througout his second period, which was P.E. about how to ask forgiveness from his one and only childhood friend, Riku Harada. Plus, how not to jump the school's nurse when seeing her right after the lunch bell rings. As he was being pelted by balls in the gymnasium during P.E. class, remember he was daydreaming...
Dark sat down at a table not far away from the frustrated girl. He was facing her as she gobbled down her lunch, and stood up almost quickly earning quick glances from nearby students. Dark chuckled inwardly, before standing up himself, in his hands were the untouched food he had bought earlier. He followed her and dumped his food in the trash and stealthly shadowed her every move. Riku stopped, only because she caught a glimpse of someone behind her. Purple hair, mischevious smirk, out in his own world? Yup, Dark Mousey was following her. And another person happened to be in the right place and at the right time.
" Dark!" Riku cried without looking back at the intruder. Dark stiffened at the mention of his name and for being caught.
" Man! Do you have eyes in the back of your head now, Riku? Geez! Scare me to death why don't you!" Dark replied, a hand to his beating heart. Riku swerved around.
" Why are you following me, Dark?" Riku asked.
" I thought you said that you weren't talking to me?" Dark smirked, Riku just fumed. Her hands clenched in a tight fist.
" Never mind about that now! What do you need!" Riku cried.
" I want you to forgive me, Riku. I promise, I will resolve this by the end of today. Please, just forgive me in advance! Please!" Dark cried, going in a deep bow. Riku just flustered. Some students passed them and whispered to each other.
" G-Get up, Dark!" Riku stuttered, trying to raise his head back up, but it was no use. Riku stood back and sighed.
" All right! Just raise your head, please." Riku replied. Dark raised his head and plastered on his face was a grin as wide as his hands.
" Thank you, Riku! What would you like? A kiss? A...let's see... what would you like? How about a boyfriend? You hadn't had one since like, how many months?" Dark rambled on and Riku blushed ten times harder, her cheeks were bright red. Students giggled past them.
" Dark! That's enough!" Riku replied, her eyes down on the floor below. Dark grinned that famous smirk of his.
" Getting hot are we?" Dark joked. Riku snapped and she slapped him on the arm.
" Yeow! That hurts, Riku! What were you doing? Lifting weights or something?" Dark replied, cradling his injured arm.
" No! You promised you would resolve all this by today! I hope you keep it!" Riku cried as she ran off to class just as the bell rang.
" There's not a promise that I wouldn't keep with you, Riku." Dark turned in the opposite direction and went to class.
Krad's POV
I've seen that girl before. Is she the one that always hang around with my dope of a brother? Ah...here comes Dark now. Look how he follows her, is he her lap dog now? Why must he follow her like he's love sick? She's not much attractive as her sister is. I mean her sister, I forgot her name, she has the most killer body ever! Unlike her tomboy sister...but what can I say my brother goes for whatever is in a skirt, be ugly or be pretty. Since I have nothing to do, might as well follow them and get a kick out of it. I followed them out in the hall and I thought that the girl had spotted me, but it was my poor brother who got caught in the act when she shouted his name.
I see Dark flirting with her, teasing her and asking her for forgiveness. How could my brother stoop so low as to bow for her? It makes no sense to me, who in their right mind would bow to someone and asking for their forgiveness? I guess my brother falls into that category and you know what the weird thing of all this was? The girl actually forgave him! The fool, I tell you! I left after that, why? Because it started to become mushy, gushy. I hate that stuff with a passion! So I didn't get to hear Dark, my brother confess something so important that would prove to be an advantage on my part because, everything my brother has, becomes mine.
Normal POV
The school bell has finally rung, signaling the end of school and off the students scatter about. Dark went up to the school rooftop to take a deep breath. Down below students all gather around and pointing up at the roof to where Dark was standing. Some of his fangirls were screaming their heads off, yelling,
" No, Dark-sama! Please don't leave us! Take us with you!"
Riku stopped just out of the school grounds to look back and her eyes widen in shock. Her childhood friend was up on the rooftops, feet planted right on the edge of the building, he was about ready to jump and end his life there! Riku ran back to the crowd of students that started to form beneath Dark's feet.
" Do I have everybody's attention?" Dark replied. The voice carried all the way down and reached the other student's ears. " Okay, this is about the rumor that's going on around the school. I am here to tell you all that what you hear is a lie! Riku Harada and I are not living together! I lied to you, I'm sorry!"
Riku was stunned, she couldn't believe that Dark would keep their promise.
" Is that true?" one fangirl cried.
" Yes. So please do not go around spreading the rumor that me and Riku are living together!" Dark cried. Everybody looked at each other and then the fangirls all cheered and fanboys all whooped. It was a celebration!
Dark's POV
There, I kept my promise and I hope that settles everything between us. If not..then I really don't know what I'm going to do to make Riku understand.
Normal POV
" Dark!" a voice cried out, Dark stumbled at the ledge. He fell forward and a grip at the back of his white uniform stopped him from falling to his death. Riku pulled Dark from the ledge and Dark fell on his rump.
" Riku!! You almost killed me with that yell!! Haven't I told you to use your indoor voices when around me? I scare easily!" Dark replied, looking back at the tomboy girl he loved. Riku just rolled her eyes.
" Well, sorry Mr. Sensitive. But I couldn't help but overhear your confession. I'm really happy that you did it." Riku replied, a smirk forming on her lips. Dark stood up and dust his pants of any dirt, he smiled back at her.
" Glad I did something to make you smile." Dark said. Riku just blushed, turning to face the door.
" Well...don't get used to it." Riku replied as she left the building. Dark continued to stay up on the rooftop and let out a nervous chuckle.
" I'm never sane when I'm around you, Riku-san."
