I sat in the old trees shade at lunch. I could hear Risa talking to me but I wasn't going to listen.

She was on about Dark I knew it. So I kept my head down in my new homework book for Music.

"Riku?" Risa asked "Riku!? Are you even listening? I've got a dilemma here!"

"What is it?" I asked

"Well I like Satoshi, even you know that. But now Dark is back, I feel as if I like him as well. What should I do?" She asked

"Well if I were you, I'd pick Satoshi. I mean for one thing he isn't a pervert." I said

"Dark is not a pervert either!" she answered

Satoshi then came up to us. I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"May I sit here?" he asked

"Sure Satoshi." I said smiling

He sat next to Risa and pulled out a book and started reading

By the look in Risas' eyes I could tell she was confused. Even though for me it would be

a simple choice.

"I need to speak to Daisuke," she said getting up "He will help me, even if you won't Riku."

She got up and left without another word, but Satoshi remained sat down.

"So she likes Dark again?" Satoshi asked

"Yes," I said "even though I don't know why."

"Oh I do." He said "I think it's because he's got his own body and will age normally now. She thinks the only reason he turned her down last time is because he wasn't human."

"What do you think?" I asked him

"Me? I would be okay with it if he liked her back. If she's with someone she truly likes then I'm happy for her."

"Your too kind towards her you know that?" I said getting up. "I've got to go. Stop her before she does something stupid."

Satoshi nodded and I went to find my sister. I saw her in the art room watching Daisuke draw.

I blinked back tears as I remembered the days I watched him draw before we broke up. I still like him but he's gone back to liking Risa.

"Risa?" I asked

"Oh hey, Riku. Look at this painting isn't it great?" she said smiling

"Yeah it is." I said "Why are you so happy?"

"Oh you don't know? Me and Daisuke are together." She said

"What?" I asked, shocked.

She came over to me where I was standing at the door. She looked really happy.

"You see? Dark likes things he can't get. So when he finds out he will notice us and remember when we spent time together. He will feel sad and wish we were together."

"So you're using Niwa-kun? That's selfish and a terrible thing to do! I can't even believe you thought of something like this! I'm ashamed to call you my sister! You know he's mad about you and your still gonna use him? That's horrible! Plus, what about Satoshi? Your just gonna dump him now?!"

"What do you mean? And Satoshi and I were never really going out. " she asked

"You know two years ago? When he was Dark-sempai? He used to only turn into him when he saw a picture of the one he loved! And he only did that when he saw you! He told me before we broke up."

"That was two years ago sis. He only likes me as a close mate now." She said

I sighed and walked out the door. Just to find Dark. This day was getting worse.

The door closed behind me and I was just about to make my way to afternoon class when Dark stopped me.

"I heard every word." He said "You still like Daisuke-kun don't you?"

I nodded.

"I agree with you Riku-Chan. That is selfish. And anyway I would never like Risa-san now. Not now she's going out with Daisuke. What kind of a person does she think I am?"

He patted me on the head as if I was some pet. And then started to play with my hair.

"You know? Your kind of cute when your angry." He said laughing

"Get away from me you pervert!" I yelled "You stole my first kiss away from me what more do you want?" I wish I hadn't said the last bit as soon as it came out of my mouth.

So I ran away from him down the stairs all the way to afternoon class.

But I couldn't hide from him forever. He sat down next to me just before class started.

"You can run from me but you can't hide Riku-Chan. You know were here for the full year." he said smirking.

I stared at the wall on the other side of me. He was right, but I could still ignore him.

I ignored him all lesson until he caught me after school. I was about to get my bike when I heard him behind me.

"So when I kissed you two years ago? That was your first kiss?" he asked

I got onto my bike and started pedaling as fast as I could but he soon caught up on his own bike.

"Why are you trying to get away?" he asked

We crossed the bridge where I could see the tram go past. I saw Daisuke and Risa holding hands. Poor Daisuke. If only he knew.

I didn't answer him. I wanted to get home. I needed to speak to Risa.

"Riku-Chan! I only want to tell you something. I promise." He said

We were near the park so I decided to go in.

"Five minutes!" I said

I got off my bike and sat on the bench. I wondered what he wanted to tell me.

He sat down next to me and looked me in the eye.

"You ever wondered why I didn't love Risa-san the way she wanted me to?" he asked

"Why would I wonder that sempai? It's none of my business. It's yours and Risas'"

"Why do you never call me by my name?" he asked

"Three minutes left, sempai" I said looking at my watch

"Okay, okay I'll tell you why I never loved Risa like she wanted me to," He said "because there was someone else I liked. You"

He tried to hug me but I got up too quick. He banged his chin on the metal bench.

"Get away from me you pervert!! I'll never love you!" I yelled

"I'm not a pervert!" he yelled

"Yes you are!" I screamed "You stole my first kiss before I could tell who you were. When we were flying you were trying to touch my chest! And why are you always playing with my hair?!"

"Well firstly the kiss was to shut you up! If I hadn't your butler would have heard you screaming and I would have been arrested! Secondly when we were in the ice and snow world you were struggling so much I couldn't avoid it! And playing with your hair!? That's not being a pervert that's just a friendly gesture!" he yelled

"Piss off, Baka!" I screamed getting onto my bike and pedaling off. I would just have to ignore him for the rest of the year.

I had trouble sleeping that night. I kept on wondering whether I was a bit harsh on him. Then thinking he deserved it. To be honest I was plain confused.

But one night of troubled sleep wasn't the worst of my problems to come.
