New Chapter for Light and Darkness.

Special thank you goes to Lazy Eyes Conway for helping me with the story.

Enjoy the Story:

Rito's right hand reaches out and tries to grab Yami, who keeps walking away from him. Her cheeks are bright red because she has only ever read about kissing someone if you're in love with them. However, Yami doesn't understand the concept known as love. She stops in her tracks and turns to see Rito trying to help her out of the amazed state.

White feathery wings appear from her back and she takes off into the dark blue skies with white and silver clouds. Rito screams "Wait Yami!" His right-hand reaching out into the open skies, but there was no hope of stopping her now.

Dropping his hand down and looks toward the ground, he thinks about how when their lips had touched, they had been cold but soft.

With one last look up to see that Yami wasn't going to return, he made up his mind to return to his home, but he couldn't shake the unknown feelings were slowly beginning to grow inside of his heart and mind.

The real question was why he wants to stop Yami from leaving, as he only felt love towards Haruna and maybe Lala. But the strange lines of fate had other plans for the young boy who was naïve of his own thoughts.

Rito turns and walks towards his home with his mind filled of questions. As his mind thinks about the love, he has towards for Haruna…he can't help thinking might be obsessed with the girl.

-At the Moonlight Park-

Yami placed her feet on ground, as her breathing was slightly heavy, as if she had just run around the town. Yet she couldn't figure out the feelings she had felt in her heart from when the flower had possessed her. She could have fought off the flower's effects and slapped Rito away from her presences.

Her knowledge about the feelings and bonds felt from one person with another was not limited, but she had difficulty understanding different types of feelings.

"I just don't understand why I am feeling like this." Said Yami.

She walked to a nearby wooden bench and took a seat, as her body returned to its normal size and her outfit returned to the normal black battle dress.

Her hair covered her dark red eyes. She was confused inside both her heart and mind.

Nobody she knew was going to help her solve the problems inside of her heart.

-Neighborhood of Yuuki's House-

Rito was quiet and confusion had entered his thoughts in relation to his feelings towards Yami, yet as he stops in front of his home, he wonders what he says to Mikan… or even Lala?

Pushing the dark blue wooden gates open, he makes his way towards his home. He enters the home with a stoic expression, but when the door closes to looks up to see Momo peeking through a doorway to see who had entered the home.

It was Rito Yuuki… But he was different from before.

"Rito-san… Welcome home." Momo tells Rito with gentle tone.

Rito looks up at Momo and says "Thanks… Momo." His voice sounds depressed or like something is bothering him. She walks over and places her hand onto his forehead to check his temperature and see if he was alright, as he wasn't acting like he normally would.

His eyes are covered by his hair and he looks up to sees Momo checking his temperature, but nothing seems to be wrong with Rito.

Inside his mind, Rito's thoughts were telling himself to go back to being nervous and shy around the girls. However, the other parts of Rito were battling these ideas and asking… Do you really love Haruna-chan or are you just obsessed with her?

Is it true love? Or just an obsession with Haruna that is holding Rito back from growing?

Rito takes Momo's hand away gently from his forehead and says, "I'm sorry, but I think I need to be alone for a while.", before proceeding upstairs. As he does so, he ends up ignoring Nana's taunting from the couch about him being a beast, but Rito was too distracted to acknowledge her complains. Nana rises from the couch and watches as Rito goes upstairs and turns to watch her twin sister who was worried about Rito.

Opening his bedroom door and entering the room, he sits down at side of bed after closing the door behind him. His thoughts are filled with many questions about what he should do when he next sees Haruna or Lala.

Rito sits silently, also trying to figure out a way to talk with Yami. But she nearly always attacks him, without much warning and few if any second thoughts or questions to being asked.

'What can I do? How can I talk to someone who wants me dead?' Rito thought to himself. His head turns to sees Haruna's picture and his mind thinks about how Haruna has always been friendly to him.

"Is she only my friend because she wants to be friends with Lala?" he asks himself. He reflects about how Haruna never really spoke to him before Lala came into his life.

As he tries to remember all the experiences, good and bad, he has had with Lala and Haruna, however, he can't keep his mind from returning to his recent experience with Yami. Looking away from the picture, he starts to contemplate about if he enjoyed the date or if was just another attempt on his part to keep Yami from killing him.

"I can't stop thinking about it " Rito says to himself and as he looks down at the floor, his mind thinks about what might have happened if Rito and Yami had gone further than that simple kiss.

Would she have allowed him to take it any further, or was he just overthinking things?

He stands up and begins to walk around the house, in order to clear his mind of negative thoughts. Arriving downstairs, Rito sees Mikan making dinner in the kitchen. He quietly decides to not bother her and, walking elsewhere, sees Lala was playing a video game with Momo and Nana in the living room.

This reminds Rito of how Lala came into his life and turned his life upside down.

He steps outside and looks up at the sky, remembering how Yami with her angel wings took flight into the beautiful sky.

Rito sits down on the patio, thinking about emotionless Yami acts and how she never lets anyone get close to her, except for Mikan.

"I don't know how Mikan can do it. Maybe I should ask her since she perhaps knows Yami better" Rito thinks to himself. He stops in his tracks. Why was he suddenly so interested in Yami?

He remembers how cute Yami looked in her outfit, and his heart starts to beat faster as he remembers the kiss.

Her lips had been soft and cold, but he felt the may have been some emotion growing behind them. Neither of them understood the emotion or it origin.

"Maybe I should go find her tomorrow, I might be able to understand this emotion" Rito said to himself, as Mikan calls out to him saying "Rito... I wanted to tell you that we are going to pool this Saturday, so I'm going to get a new suit with Yami."

As he starts thinking about Yami in swimsuit, his cheeks turn bright red.

"O-okay." Rito calls back to Mikan and begins thinking about how Yami would look in black two piece as her top would cover her pink nipples and bottom would hold her bubble butt.

His cheeks turn a deep shade of red as he starts imagining Yami looking at him. She shows different position for him as her hair was tied in normal style.

He shakes his head the clear it of the image and starts going back inside the house to get ready for tomorrow.

-In the Moonlight Park-

Yami looks up to see Mikan, her best friend. She says "Hi Mikan." She is ready to go and get a new suit for pool. Yami couldn't get rid of her thoughts of having hung out with and kissed Yuuki Rito.

"Hey Yami-chan." Asked Mikan

"Mikan... May I ask you a question." Yami quietly askes Mikan. She wants to know more about Rito, even if she is unsure of her feelings towards him.

"Sure, what is it?" Mikan replies. She looks at her best friend, but Yami shakes her head and says, "I wanted to know if I should get one or two pieces for the pool?"

Mikan is a little surprised about Yami's question.

"Why asking me that? Not that I have a problem with it, but it is a surprise." Mikan asks Yami, trying to understand why was Yami is not acting like herself?

Yami looks down, not understanding the reason for Mikan's surprise.

"W-well I wanted to try something different, a-and about your brother " Yami said. Then Mikan nods and teases her saying "Oh are you going to try and play around with Rito?"
