Chapter 2

Is this the best day of my life or what?

Disclaimer: I do not own DNAngel. Which is really sad…

Don't worry, well, actually do, its crap, oh well!

The corridor was deserted, a low hiss could be heard over Daisuke's soft footsteps and it was getting louder as he moved to the end of the hallway. The faint, deathly glow of the ceiling lights cast an eerie illumination along the white walls. Oh how they disturbed him so. Their ghostly wash. So unnaturally clean. Was it a hospital corridor, was it a hospital he was trapped in? The hiss was definitely close. He could now here the slither of a huge object moving across the plastic flooring, but where was it coming from? He censed it was near.
A door appeared in front of him. It was white, the same as everything else, the doorknob called to him. Then that low hiss was heard, but this time it had a voice. "open the door my darling Daisssuke, come to Mera, yessss, that isssss my name. I can give you anything you could posssssibly desssssssssire, just open the door!" the voice beckoned. Daisuke wasn't sure, the voice was so inviting, it was calling him. Why did he want to listen to it. Daisuke reached for the handle, stretching in front of him, he was only a short distance……….just a little more…….. "yesssssssss, my child, lissssten to me, do asssssss I ssssay" just a little more…..

"DAISUKE!" "wha-" groooooooaaaaaaaan. Daisuke Niwa rolled over in his bed and pulled the pillow over his head, the noise was horrible, who could it have been?
"DAISUKE, YOUR GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" "Toto, please, my alarm clock hasn't gone off yet-" BRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGG!
"oh" Daisuke moaned groggily, he pulled himself out of bed and nearly crashed into Toto as he stood. Toto left to inform Daisuke's mother that he was up as he washed and dressed for the day.
Dark was still fast asleep, he was lucky he didn't need to go to school, darn magical beings! I bet he never had strange dreams….
Descending the stairs he was met by his mother smiling at him "good morning sweetie, there's toast on the table….and by the way tonight you will be stealing 'the book of answers' at 10.00 pm so don't make any plans. Also Daisuke, Riku phoned a minute ago, you were too slow, but she said she wanted to talk to you on the way to school" Daisuke looked puzzled, "I wonder what she wants to talk about, and the book of answers, what kind of name is that?" Toto appeared in front of the seated boy and smiled warningly "the book of answers is a 20 paged book with a different painting on every piece, its said that when you ask the book a question and you open the page it will have the answer for you." Daisuke was still puzzled "but how will you know what the answer means if it is a painting?" he questioned.
"well, you'll have to interpret the answer for yourself, anyway who ever said 'in life we get straight answers' ha!" Daisuke sighed and ate his breakfast.

On his way to school he met with Riku. She looked different from yesterday, she had put clips in her hair…and was that makeup! Who was she and what did she do with Riku, it almost as if Risa had cut her hair the same length as her twin. This was not the Riku he knew. She blushed a he approached.
"hay Daisuke…um…" she blushed an even darker shade. Daisuke also blushed. Was this just a blushing fest. She was wearing jewellery too, little ruby earrings and a cute beaded necklace. He just stared at her. She looked up at him and he looked away embarrassed. The two stood in silence neither one wanting to break it.
'say something you idiot' he thought to himself. When he looked up at Riku he found she was closer than before and was staring into his wide eyes.
"so um, what did ya want to talk to me about?" Daisuke asked nervously, he had not gotten this close to Riku since the night dark kissed her and he accidentally changed back.
"Daisuke,"

"yeah, Riku"

"well"

"yes"

"I was just wondering"

"…."

"you know"

"what"

"um…….um……willyougooutwithme" she said quickly and blushed so dark it rivalled Daisuke's hair.

daisuke looked on at her.

Then hismouth opened in shock. He resembled a fish. Gaping.

Riku looked down to the ground as if there was suddenly something very interesting about the piece of moss growing on the pavement.
"its ok, if you, ya know, don't want to its fine, I mean, its ok with me, I was just wondering" she started to ramble. "I'm sorry we better get to school or we'll be late." she said turning to leave abruptly. Daisuke was snapped out of his dazed state and realised that she was leaving.
"wait" he cried and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her back to study her face. She had small tears appearing at the corners of her eyes. She was crying. Well almost.
"so that's why you put makeup on today" Daisuke said smiling. She gasped, he's noticed. She blushed again.
"Riku I would love to go out with you" Daisuke whispered and pulled her even closer. He leant in and pressed a small kiss to her forehead. It just seemed appropriate. The sky was beautiful, the air was beautiful, she was beautiful, the kiss was beautiful. It was all so perfect…….

But as we all no, nothing in this world is perfect. Nothing can truly be perfect because those forces will always have their opposites to bring the perfection back to neutral. Things seemed so delightful, but in time things would be becoming very very disconcerting…..

Not even the author knows for sure, she's completely mad.
No I'm not!
Yes you are I am not!
You are too, look your talking to yourself …………..damn!

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter, more will come soon.
