Me: Yay! Another chapter! And it's long too.

Dark: Makes up for the last one I suppose...

Daisuke: It wasn't that bad!

Me: No, he's right -" Anyway! ^^ Lets get on with the story. I own nothing but the plot and my imagination.

Chapter 2 Class Start

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BE-WHACK! Dark hit the clock, resulting in it smashing and destroying yet another alarm clock. He yawned and stretched as he got out of bed and went to get a shower before he would get ready to go get some breakfast. He quickly washed his hair, before drying of and putting his school uniform on. He then went back into the room and found that Daisuke was still fast asleep in bed. He's a heavy sleeper…Dark thought as he went to wake the sleeping boy up.

"Hey, Daisuke. Wake up or you're going to be late for breakfast." Dark shook the lump in the covers that was Daisuke, only his red hair could be seen at the top of them. He felt him stir underneath and heard a muffled voice, which sounded something like '5 more minutes' before he stopped moving. Dark sighed as he went to the foot of the bed, grabbed the covers and pulled them off, revealing the boy from his duvet fortress. Dark looked at him, still asleep and hugging that rabbit pillow of his, while his pajama top was half-way up his body, revealing the red haired boys stomach. Seriously, he could probably sleep through a thunderstorm. Dark then tried to wake him up again, shaking a little harder and Daisuke finally opened his eyes, though half lidded and looked at Dark.

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty!" Dark smiled, while Daisuke tried to understand what he had just said, before it dawned on him and he slightly blushed. He even blushes when he wakes up? He is far too innocent for his own good. Dark smirked before going to sit on his own bed while looking at the boy, who still looked half asleep as he yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"What time is it?" Daisuke asked, his red eyes losing the glazed look as he became fully awake. He looked at the clock only to see that it was crushed and no longer able to function. He then looked at Dark with confusion written all over his face, but Dark just shrugged, dropping the subject, but still answering the teen.

"Between 19:10 and 19:35 I think and that usually happens when I wake up." He jabbed a thumb to the pile of plastic and metal and Daisuke just nodded. There was then a knock on the door and Daisuke went to go answer before Dark got up first, tuning to him saying "Go get a shower okay; I'll deal with this person." So Daisuke got his towel and a small bowl with all his toiletries in and went into the bathroom. Dark went to open the door.

"I brought Niwa his school uniform." A boy with blue hair and glasses said in an emotionless tone. He gave Dark the clothes before walking away. He looked at them before he realized something. Daisuke has no change of clothes so he'll come in with just a towel on dripping wet. Dark felt his face heat up and he had to put a finger under his nose to stop the nose bleed that was threatening to come down. Damn me and my weird thoughts. He calmed himself down as he closed the door and went to put the clothes on the opposite bed to his. I mean, he's a guy and he probably doesn't swing that way. AGGH! What is wrong with me!

"Dark? Do you have a spare uniform I could borrow until I get mine please?" Daisuke said from the bathroom, the shower now turned off.

"Well, Satoshi just bought you your uniform just now." Dark replied. "He's our dorm leader, so it's kind of his job to make sure all the students settle in and get what they need." Daisuke then came out with a towel wrapped around his waist, his hair drooping slightly and plastering to his forehead.

"Ah, that's great. I'll go get changed then." He said as he got the school uniform from his bed and red boxers from his bag before heading back into the bathroom. Dark sat there for a moment. He didn't even bring boxers in with him…wait! STOP IT! Dark mentally slapped himself before he could go any further with his thoughts. He decided he might as well make his bed to distract his mind wondering into, those thoughts.

Daisuke then came out fully dried and dressed. The uniform wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. He wore a black shirt with a red tie, black trousers and a blazer with a coat of arms on the breast pocket, which he presumed was the schools logo. It fit him perfectly which was odd since he hadn't been measured or said how tall he was or anything.

"Nice, it suits you." Dark said which brought Daisuke back to where he was and how silly he might off looked just then.

"Do you really think so? I suppose it fits nicely which is odd really."

"They do it by magic. That uniform will last you until you leave here. It grows with the person so that no repairs or replacements will ever be needed. Saves money I suppose, not like this school doesn't have cash to burn." Daisuke looked at Dark confused, but decided that it wasn't really important. "Anyway, we better get going for breakfast or all the good stuff will be gone and we'll have to stick with the stuff people don't like." Dark grabbed Daisuke's hand and rushed out the door and along some paths and arrived at a giant building. Daisuke was amazed but he looked down and saw that Dark was still holding his hand and blushed.

"Um, Dark, you can let go of my hand now." Daisuke said feeling really awkward about the situation that he was in. Dark looked down and quickly let go of the teens hand, rubbing the back of his neck, his cheeks tinting pink slightly.

"Eheheh, sorry about that, guess I forgot about it. Well, let's go get something to eat!" He said as he went into the hall. Daisuke followed and looked around and couldn't believe how many students were here, or how big the hall was to accommodate them all. It was huge and the design looked like it had been around for centuries, but was kept clean and in good condition. They went to the back of the line to wait to get something to eat.

"Well, I guess we weren't that late. Good job buddy." Dark smiled as he gave Daisuke a pat on the back.

"Hey! Dark!" A male voice called which caught both of the boys attention. "I was wondering when you would get here." A boy with brown hair and hazel eyes came walking up to Dark. He was taller then Daisuke, but shorter then dark by about half an inch. "I'm surprised you were able to get up this morning from all the drinks you had."

"Ha! That was nothing. I don't down it all in one like someone I know. Besides, it wasn't like it was a lot or anything." Dark replied with a shrug of his shoulders and a small smirk on his face.

"Yeah, yeah. So who's the new kid?" The boy asked turning his attention to Daisuke, who felt a little awkward again.

"I'm Daisuke Niwa. I'm Dark's new roommate." Daisuke said smiling warmly at the boy, who put his hand on Daisuke's head.

"Aww, he's cute. You've got yourself a nice one Dark. Oh and my name is Tomasu Kobayashi. But just call me Tomu, okay?" Daisuke nodded and Tomu ruffled his hair. "Oh yeah. Dark, this weekend we're having a party. You coming? You can bring Daisuke with you. It can be like his welcoming party or something like that and it's a good way to get him some new friends in the process, don't you agree?" Tomu said, his hand no longer on Daisuke, which he was thankful for.

"I suppose so. It depends if he wants to go. But sure, I'll defiantly come. The usual time and place, right? What day?"

"Well, its Tuesday now, so it's 4 days away." Tomu smiled while Dark sighed.

"Why don't you just say Saturday like a normal person? Never mind, Friday it is and I'll be there."

"Great! Well, nice meeting you Daisuke and you're invited too. Seeya around!" Tomu waved and walked out of the hall. Daisuke felt a little annoyed. Why did he call me cute? I'm not cute! I'm a guy and guys don't look cute! And why did he ruffle my hair like I was a kid or something? Grrr, I've only just met him and he annoys me. Dark looked and Daisuke who was silently fuming and smiled at him.

"Don't worry about him. He likes to mess around with people. One day it will be his downfall. Anyway, do you want to get breakfast or not?" Dark pointed to the queue which was shorter now. Daisuke forgot his little rant and went to stand behind the last person, feeling a little embarrassed. When it was their turn, Daisuke got pancakes with syrup and strawberries while Dark got some toast, eggs and sausages. They went to sit down at an empty table and began to eat with out saying anything to each other.

"So," Dark began and Daisuke paused with his strawberry hanging on his fork half way to his mouth. "What class do you have first? I have math first in room 49 with Mrs. Satou. Well, it's good to catch up on sleep I suppose."

"I have that too. Then I have chemistry with Mr. Gakusha, then a free period. I decided I'm gonna choose art as the optional subject and then the last two periods I have History with Miss. Ito then English with Mrs. Kano." Daisuke noticed that throughout the whole time he was speaking, the smile on Dark's face had been getting bigger, apart from when he said he was doing art.

"Wow, apart from art, because I chose music as my option, we're together in every lesson then, which is awesome." Dark went back to eating his toast that he had dipped in his egg and Daisuke ate his strawberry quite happily.

"So, do you like strawberries then?" Daisuke paused again and looked at Dark, his fork still in his mouth before he smiled and nodded. "I'll have to remember that then, but then again," He chuckled "With your red hair and eyes will be a permanent reminder." Daisuke then looked as his pancake as he poked it as a blush crept onto his face. "And you always blush," Dark continued "You are like a strawberry. Do you taste sweet too?" And with that Daisuke's face went so red that it put his hair to shame.

"W-w-what! What kind of question is that! You sick perv!" Daisuke said standing up and pointing at him, his face still flushed.

Dark smiled playfully at him. "Calm down Dai-chan, I didn't mean anything by it. It was a joke, so calm down before you make a spectacle of yourself." Dark said, gesturing for him to sit down. Daisuke sighed and did so, feeling his blush still plain on his face as he continued to eat his pancakes. They then ate in silence for the rest of the meal and either of them didn't seem like they wanted to start another conversation. After they had finished, they started to head to their first class for registration, even though they would be ten minutes early. They didn't say anything to each other then, because they didn't know what to talk about. Dark thought he would break the tension.

"So, why did you end up coming here in the first place? I mean, you're what, 15? Usually students come when they turn 13, so I would assume you were getting private tutoring"

"Well, I didn't want to come here. My parents knocked me unconscious then when I came to, I was here. The only reason I came so late was because I didn't actually want to come here in the first place."

"Why?" Dark asked, interested.

"I just had a bad feeling about it, plus I was afraid people wouldn't like me and I might get bullied. I never had any friends and the only people I was close to was my family."

"Well," Dark said as he put his arm around Daisuke shoulders, "You've already got a friend, who is the most popular kid in school may I add and a handsome devil at that. So you will have no trouble at all."

"Really?" Daisuke looked around the room "This new friend sounds amazing, I wonder who he is?"

"Oh haha, Mr. Comedian." Dark said as he got the now laughing Daisuke into a head lock as he laughed as well. "Keep like that and he won't come."

"Oh no, that would be terrible!" Daisuke said with a sarcastic grin on his face and Dark let go of him as they both laughed, unaware that the room was beginning to fill up. They calmed down and Dark wiped a tear away from his eye from laughing so hard. I haven't laughed so hard in years! I can really get to like this kid! Dark thought as Daisuke beamed at him.

"So, your popular are you? Well, I guess I won't get bullied then and I'm sure to get friends if I stay with you Dark. My reasons for coming have simply disappeared." Daisuke said as he looked forward, his eyes seeming to be looking far away, full of thought. I guess I might just like this place. Maybe I should go to that party on Saturday. It seems like fun. Plus, Tomu said I would be able to get some more friends, so what's the worst that can happen. Daisuke thought as he got his sketchbook and pencil case out. He flicked through his pages of drawings and Dark eyes went wide as he saw them. They had so much detail on them; it could almost be mistaken for a photo or the real thing. No wonder he chose art, he's amazing! When Daisuke got to a blank page, he began to draw some random shapes all over the page, some over lapping and others looking like they weren't really suppose to be there. But when he started to draw in more detail, the shapes began to take form of trees, hills, the sky and flowers. Dark watched as he added more detail to it and in no time at all, he had created a landscape.

"Dark Mousy, are you here?" An angry looking female teacher said from her desk, looking at Dark.

"Um, sorry. Yeah, here." Dark said, looking bored. This is because Mrs. Satou always got angry at Dark, because he would find new ways to annoy her.

"Daisuke Niwa?" Mrs. Satou asked from her computer, glancing around the classroom.

"Here." Daisuke said, raising his hand and Mrs. Satou smiled and nodded at him in recognition and in welcome. She finished doing the registrar, before proceeding with the lesson. She had decided that they were going to start algebra and all the class groaned in disappointment. They didn't mind doing those sorts of things, but it was just so boring. Dark had decided to make himself comfortable and rest his head on his folded arms. I've done all this already and she'll probably say anything you don't do, do for homework, so that will be fine. He closed his eyes and decided to day dream for the remainder of the class.

Daisuke looked at Dark who looked asleep as the teacher wrote examples on the board about different equations and how to solve them. Daisuke studied his face, from his closed eye lids to his smooth lips. He looks peaceful when he sleeps and he still looks handsome.

"Dark Mousy!" Mrs. Satou shouted and Dark sat up straight in an instance, like he hadn't been sleeping at all. "Care to repeat what I just said to the class?"

"Sure. In this case, to find the value of x, you must get rid of x on one side. We take the smallest amount away because that is simpler than negatives. Then, we take the negative number from the right hand side and move it to the left, which will result in it turning into a positive. We then add them together, then divide it by how many x's there are, which then gives you the value of 2, giving you the answer." Dark smiled, pleased with himself and some of the girls were giggling, while Mrs. Satou sighed and resumed with the lesson. Even I couldn't have done that, Daisuke thought. And I was paying attention. Dark then went back into his position and didn't move until he heard Mrs. Satou to pack away and to do this for homework. How predictable. He thought as he stretched his arms out and got his bag. Daisuke put his sketch pad, pencil case and book in his bag.

"I didn't get any of that, it's too confusing." Daisuke muttered as he slung his bag over his back.

"It's not that bad. It's simple when you know the technique." Dark went and put his hand on the red heads shoulder, which made him look him with his ruby eyes. "How about we do the homework together? That way we can get it done and it might help you understand it better. Sound good to you?" Daisuke just smiled and nodded and they went to their next class together. That went okay and they didn't get any homework for chemistry, which Daisuke was happy about. They then had brake then their free period. That was consumed with Dark trying to teach Daisuke algebra and Daisuke having a slight temper tantrum which Dark just laughed at him at.

"I still don't get this! X is a letter! I can understand if it was 24, but 2 should be b, right?" He puzzled over the question while ruffling his hair in frustration, while Dark looked over his shoulder.

"Listen; forget their position in the alphabet, because that has nothing to do with it." Dark said, his warm breath tickling the back of Daisuke's neck. He turned to look at him and Dark looked back and smiled. Daisuke quickly turned away to hide the blush that as forming on his face.

"S-so, the number they are in the alphabet, means nothing then?" Daisuke said, looking straight down at the book, but he could still feel Dark's body heat against his, which was making his blush stay, if not turn brighter. Dark took the blush as the teen being embarrassed about not knowing math very well.

"Don't worry about it." Dark said as he gave the red head a hug, which made him tense up. "You might not be good at this, but you might be excellent at something else, like your art work. That is something to be proud off." Daisuke leaned back slightly into the hug, showing he accepted it.

"They're not that great." He muttered, covering his face with his hair. "I just do them because I just have an urge, that's all."

"Aww, Dai-chan, your too modest. Take pride in your work." Dark said, ruffling his hair and his head instantly flung up.

"What is with people touching my hair?" Daisuke asked, turning to face Dark, who smiled and continued with his action.

"Because it's red, fluffy and bounces back no matter how much you try to pat it down. Also, it smells really nice, "And if like to prove a point, he lowered his head next to Daisuke's face and sniffed his hair, "or, maybe it's just Dai-chan who smells nice." Dark put his nose to the teens neck and Daisuke could feel his breathe which sent shivers up his spine. "Mmm, yep, Dai-chan smells really nice." And with a chuckle, he released his grip and went back to teaching Daisuke algebra.

When it was time for them to go to their separate classes, they said they would meet up for lunch and eat together. Daisuke then proceeded to go to his art class, but he wasn't sure where it was. Dark had lead him to all his previous classes. Ah, I should of asked for directions. Now where am I supposed to go? The corridors look exactly the same to me.

"Are you lost, Niwa?" A calm voice said from behind which made Daisuke jump a foot in the air. He turned around and saw a blue haired boy with glasses with an expressionless face. "Are you going to the art room? I have that now so we can go together if you like?" He said as he walked past Daisuke and turned left at the corner. Daisuke ran after him, happy to be able to get help.

"Thanks. You're a life saver. I'm Daisuke Niwa by the way, but it sounded like you knew that already." He laughed nervously as the boy just looked at him with a blank face. He must be fun at parties…

"Satoshi Hikari. I'm the dorm leader." He said as he continued forward.

"Oh right. Dark told me about you. Er, thanks for bringing me my uniform this morning. I guess I had forgotten about that."

"It's my duty to make sure all the students in the dorm are healthy and able to go to school, so it's nothing really." And for the rest of the walk, they were silent, Daisuke wanting to talk but the way Satoshi acted, it made it hard to approach him. When they arrived in class they sat together and were given a picture they had to replicate on their canvases. It wasn't hard for Daisuke, in fact it was quite simple. This lesson might get boring if all we have to do is copy. I wonder if we get to do any of our own work.

"Daisuke, I don't think a red butterfly and purple flower our in your picture." His art teacher Mr. Saki said and Daisuke looked back at his canvas. Sure enough, there was a red butterfly hovering around a purple flower in the middle of the field he was just painting.

"Ah, sorry sir. Sometimes my mind wonders off and my hands just do as they please." Daisuke explained, feeling a little bit stupid.

"Never mind, you will do well in the creative part of this topic, but keep your imagination till then, okay?"

"Yes sir, I will." And with that, Mr. Saki walked of, but Daisuke felt someone's gaze upon him, which was making him a little nervous. He turned to the culprit, who didn't look away. But before Daisuke could ask his question, the person said his first.

"Why that?" Satoshi asked, pointing his paintbrush at Daisuke's little improvisation. "Why not something else? Why those colours?" He continued. Daisuke shook his head.

"I don't know. I wasn't even aware I was painting them until Mr. Saki pointed them out." Satoshi looked at him for a bit longer before speaking again. "Don't get too attached to Dark. He's nothing but trouble, I can tell you that." Daisuke could feel his face heating up. Why do I get this sort of reaction? Just his name is enough to make my face turn red. Why does he have such an effect on me? Yes we're roommates and I think we're friends, but isn't that it? We only knew each other last night and that wasn't on great greeting terms either. So… What is it?

"What do you mean Dark is trouble? He doesn't seem like a bad guy or anything like that." The red haired ask, but looking at his painting, not wanting Satoshi to see his face.

"His last roommate got expelled because of him, that's all I'm going to say on that matter. If you want to know more, go ask him yourself." Daisuke thought about it for a moment. Dark's roommate got expelled because of him? What did they do? Is Dark, really that bad?

"Right class, that's all for today. Please remember to put your work in you area. See you on Thursday." Mr. Saki said and they all left for lunch. I'll ask Dark about this. It just must be a misunderstanding or something like that. Dark really couldn't of got his roommate expel. And even if he did, I'm sure he didn't mean to. Okay, I'll just ask him and everything will be fine. Even though Daisuke kept telling himself that, he felt slightly worried about it.

"Dai-chan! Come on, hurry up already. Do you want your lunch or not?" Dark called from outside the hall where they had had their breakfast. Daisuke walked up to him, debating whether or not he should ask now or wait till they were in their room after school. He decided what the hell, might as well get it over and done with.

"Dark, what happened to your last roommate?"

Oooooh! Cliff hanger! Satoshi, why did you do that!

Satoshi: It's your story. Do you even know how this story is going to work?

Me: Of course I don't! ^^

Dark: Dai-chan, lets go do some algebra! *Drags Daisuke to their room*

Daisuke: eh! *Both Dark and Daisuke are no longer there*

Me: O.o... SAVE THE LEMON FOR LATER! Anyway, please R&R please! Thanks you and seeya! byebye!
