Author's notes :

Actually, this story is a sequel to my first D.N. Angel fanfic, Tsuyoku ni Naritai. If you haven't read that fanfic, you don't have to read it first to understand this story. But it's up to you..

I kinda confused with the genre cause I still not sure about the whole story. Perhaps it may contain some angst on the later chapter. Oh yeah.. my English is bad. But I hope you'll like this story.

Please R&R!

notes :

Words in the brackets "[ ]" means that "the other" of  them is talking. For example, When Dark is talking, words in "[ ]" is Daisuke's. When Hiwatari is talking, words in "[ ]" is Krad's, etc..

Ugh.. I'm not good at saying things.. but I hope you understand what I'm talking about. ^ ^;;

-Prologue-

            " Feel better, Hiwatari-kun? " asked Niwa Daisuke with his usual cheerful voice to a boy who was sitting near the window.

            " huh? a..aa.." Hiwatari Satoshi looked up and answered shortly.

            " sou ka.. It's good to hear that.. " Daisuke sighed in relieved.

Silence for a minute..

            " um.. Niwa.."

            " Ah! Daisuke! What are you doing?! I've been searching for you! " Saehara shouted near Daisuke's ear in a sudden.

            " bikurishita (you surprised me)! Saehara, don't shout in front of my ear! "

            " Daisuke, I want to talk about something. Let's go! " without hearing a single word of Daisuke's complaint, Saehara dragged Daisuke out from the classroom.

            " please wait, Saehara! I was talking to Hiwatari-kun! Saeeeharaaaa!!! "

Then the two of them left, Hiwatari sighed.

'Why it's so hard to talk with him? I haven't thanked him yet.'

[oh, Satoshi-sama, are you just wanted to thank him? I think you want to say "something else"…]

'Shut up, Krad! It's none of your business!'

[I'm just saying the truth. I didn't mean to make you angry..]

'I've told you to shut up!'

[fine.. fine.. but do you know, Satoshi-sama? You looks cute too when you're angry..]

After saying that, Krad vanished.

' yeah.. Niwa is a nice person. He cares about someone else more than he cares about himself..'

:::~:::~:::

Somewhere else at the same time…

            " So, what do you want to talk about, Saehara?"

            " It's about Dark, Daisuke! I heard that he… bla.. bla.. bla.. and the police.. bla.. bla.. bla.. And do you know.. bla.. bla.. bla.." Saehara talked as fast as the 'Shinkansen'.

'huh.. I expected something more important than this. I wonder what Hiwatari-kun wanted to say before..'

            " Hey, Daisuke! Do you hear me?! Hey! Daisuke!"

            " Ye.. yes?" Daisuke blinked.

            " You didn't hear what I said before, Daisuke?!"

            " I.. I.."

            " DAISUKEEEEE!!! Do you want to die that much?!"

            " I'm sorry, Saehara~~"

:::~:::~:::

            " Osh! The mission has completed!" said Dark while flying out from the museum. He was bringing a fairy statue made from gold, his target at that mission.

            " Hey Daisuke… Why your beloved commander doesn't come tonight?"

[What's with that "YOUR BELOVED", Dark?!]

            " Sorry.. sorry.. I'm just kidding.. So, why he doesn't come?"

[I don't know.. I wonder if he sick or something. Why do you care anyway? Do you miss him? Or maybe.. Krad?]

            " Why would I miss them?!"

[heheh.. I'll ask Hiwatari-kun tomorrow..]

:::~:::~:::

The next day Hiwatari didn't come to school either. So, Daisuke decided to visit him.

            " yes?" Hiwatari opened the door.

            " konnichiwa (good afternoon), Hiwatari-kun.."

            " Niwa? Please come in.."

            " Thank you.."

            " Why do you come here? Do you need something?"

            " N..no.. I'm just worry about you. You didn't come to the museum last night and didn't show up at school today.."

            " oh.. yesterday I had a meeting till midnight, so I couldn't come. And this morning I was too tired to go to school.."

            " I see.. But are you sure you're okay?"

            " Yes, I'm okay.. Thanks for worrying me.." Hiwatari smiled.

'eh? Hiwatari-kun is smiling?'

[ohhh~~~!! You're blushing, Daisuke!]

'Who is blushing, Dark?! Go away! I want to talk with him..'

[all right.. all right.. I'm sorry for disturbing your romantical moment.. hihihi..]

'DAAAARRKKKK! Would you stop tempting me?!'

[AHAHAHAHA!!!]

            " Niwa?"

            " eh? No need to thank me.. oh! I almost forgot! This is today's schedule and notes. Our teacher asked me to give this to you."

            " Thank you. Sorry for bothering you again.."

            " No, it's okay. Ah, I think I should go home now.."

            " uh? Aa.."

At the door…

            " I'm going home, Hiwatari-kun. See you tomorrow!"

            " yeah.."

            " ano.. Niwa.."

            " yes?"

            " I.. I want to thank you too for that time. You have given me such a courage. Thank you.."

Daisuke smiled.

            " Really.. It's nothing.. Hiwatari-kun, please stop thanking me.. I'm just doing what I think I should do.. We're friends, aren't we?!"

            " uhm.." Hiwatari nodded.

After Daisuke left, Hiwatari went to his room and laid on the bed.

'As I said before, Niwa is a nice person. Whenever he stays near me, I feel composed and warm. He has a power to make everyone likes him..'

But, suddenly, he remembered Daisuke's sentence..

" We're friends, aren't we?!"

'Are we friends? Or should I ask, are we "just" friends?'
