STEALING HEART

CHAPTER TWO …. AND THEN THEY MET!

Her sight was blurry to start with and yet Meimi new what was happening. The night in her dream revealed itself when the moon was at the highest. It was a struggle between three figures that appeared to be in her dream. It seem it took forever for somethign to happen when all of the sudden a figure drop like if it was lifeless to the ground. This didn't mean anything to Meimi at the moment but for sure Meimi knew something was about to happen. Something so horrible, it give her goosbumps on skin...

Meimi gasped as soon as she woke up from that dream. "What was all that about?" she asked herself. Meimi almost scream when she felt some thing on her head, but then remember of Ruby her hedgehog.

"Wee...wee," Ruby squealed as Meimi pat her on the head. Meimi was bored and then a thought came to her mind, "Hey, why don't we go for a walk to look around and maybe if we find an ice cream stand, will buy some." Meimi smile at Ruby.

"Well, lets get this room clean, so we could explore after," Meimi said out aloud. Meimi seem happier because she no longer wanted to think about Asuka Jr. This made her want to do things she never did before. The loss of Asuka made Meimi think you have to live you life the fullest.( this sounds as if he's dead or something..lol!)

NIWA'S HOUSE

"Emiko, Have you seen Daisuke? I need to talk with him.. is he still as sleep?" Kosuke said. (Kosuke is Daisuke's father)

"Kosuke, give him a break. He's been working the whole summer and stealing, let him have some sleep. I know you want to help with the curse but it will go away as time passes," Emiko held Kosuke hands into hers and smile at her husband. Kosuke kiss his wife in the kitchen.

"Mom, Dad...oops. Am I interrupting something?" Daisuke come into the kitchen right when his parents were in dovey lovey mode. Emiko and Kosuke blushed at the sight of Daisuke.

"Honey do you need something?" Emiko asked Daisuke.

"Oh, no. I just wanted to tell you guys that I'm going out with Riku again today," Daisuke said nonchalance.

"Daisuke, you're a so romantic. When Kosuke and I were dating he barely took me out for dates. I'm so glad you're not like your Dad," Emiko hugged Daisuke. She give him a kiss on his forehead making Daisuke blush of imbarresment, "Well have a good time ...O.k.," Emiko sent Daisuke off.

Daisuke was sure today would be a great day. Ever since vacation started he took a job to earn some money. Most people would spend it for themselves, but Daisuke earned that money to buy a necklace for Riku. The necklace would take them to a whole new level in their relationship.

'I can't wait to give the necklace, that I bought for Riku and see her face light up with happiness,' Daisuke thought to himself as he reached his destination.

''Oh, Daisuke don't you think that's kind of old fashion for my Riku,''Dark said within Daisuke.

Daisuke kept walking until he reached the water fountain that was on a cliff, it had a beautiful view of the city," She is not your Riku, She is mine," Daisuke said out aloud.

"Niwa-kun,"

For a few seconds, time froze and the only thing running through Daisuke 's mind was the name 'Riku'. He turned around to find his 'holly maiden'. Riku was pretty with her short brown hair and brown eyes. The best thing about Riku was, she was a great friend and her tomboyish attitude was so cute to Daisuke. "Riku-san"

"Niwa what were you saying out loud," Riku asked with concerned. Daisuke on the other hand felt silly for saying things out loud.

"Never mind that, I have something for you and hope you like it," Daisuke took out a small box from a pocket of his pants.

"Riku..um. Here a token of my love to you," Daisuke entrusted the box into Riku's hands. Riku blushed madly at the words Daisuke was using.

Riku open the box to find the prettiest necklace she ever seen. It was a heart shape necklace that came with a key. The key meant to unlock the love in your heart. "Daisuke, this is beautiful but I bet it cost you a lot of money?"

"Yeah, but it was worth every penny, so you could have it," Daisuke looked down at the ground to hide his face. Riku came closer and grabbed his hands with hers. Then the magic of love began, Riku and Daisuke got closer and closer until their lips made contact with each other. They were in the endless eternity of love and nothing could be better than this.

STREETS OF AZUMANO

The streets of Azumano were always full of teens during the summer having a good time and families went out together to bond with each other. This made Satoshi sad since he never had a real family, except for his stepfather who wasn't interested in him. The lack of love in his life made him an isolated person. One thing he did know was that he was part of the Hikari family. The Hikari family was known for the art they created, but most people didn't know the evil magic within every piece of their arts. Also by being a member of the Hikari family, Satoshi was curse from the day of his birth. The curse consisted on being the host of an evil angel named Krad. The curse was activated by feelings, but Satoshi enclosed himself to not have them, so the evil within him wouldn't come out.

Girls giggle to get Satoshi's attention as he passed by. It was always like this with girls, they only thought about the good looks of a guy and nothing else. Satoshi was one example; he was amazingly hot even with his glasses and his school uniform. But Satoshi wasn't interested in girls and the more he ignored them the more the girls wanted Satoshi. Today the girls found him more attractive than ever as he wasn't wearing his school uniform, but a black shirt and black pants that made him look more mysterious. Even, high school girls started at him with lust.

At the corner of a street, an orange haired girl was walking with her hedgehog pet looking all around for an ice cream stand. " Look, Ruby there's an ice cream stand. Right over there," Meimi pointed with her right hand as she held Ruby with her other hand.

Satoshi had arrived to his destination, which was an ice cream stand. He was one of those persons who don't like many sweets, but for ice cream he had a soft spot for it. "I would like to have ..." Satoshi was interrupted before he order his ice cream.

"I would like a strawberry and vanilla ice scream please," Meimi smile to an old middle age guy who was taking her order.

"I would like the same, please," Satoshi stated to the guy who now was taking his order.

Meimi hadn't noticed Satoshi until he had spoken to order. She took a good glance at him before deciding he was a hot guy.

"Sorry kids, you guys have to wait for me to make more strawberry flavor because were out. Or would you guys like another flavor instead," the man said to both Satoshi and Meimi.

"No ..i could wait, I really want strawberry because it's Ruby's favorite flavor, and mine" Meimi showed her hedgehog to the middle age man pointing out who was Ruby.

"What about you Satoshi?" The man knew Satoshi as he always saw him everyday to buy ice cream, during the summer.

"I'll wait as well, Shinzo," Satoshi answer to the man.

"So, are you new? I don't recall ever seen you around Azumano," Satoshi asked Meimi.

"Well, yeah. My parents and I moved here exactly three days ago. I'm Meimi Haneoka, what's your name?" Meime give a warning smile to Satoshi after she asked his name.

At the sight of Meime's arming smile it made Satoshi run out words for a second, for no one has given him a warm smile in his whole life as Meimi did, yeah sure girls smile at him but not as sincere as her.

"... My name is Satoshi Hiwatari," A last Satoshi was able to answer Meimi.

The man name Shinzo came with two ice cream cone with their favorite flavors on it." Here you go. I'm glad to see that Satoshi finally found a cute girlfriend."

This comment made Meimi blush madly, 'How could any one think were together. I mean this guy wouldn't go out with me and I'm certainly not that cute. Does he think were together because we order the same flavors,' Meimi thought to herself.

"Sorry, but...," Meimi didn't get the chance to explain to the man, that she and Satoshi are not an item.

"Here, Shinzo." Satoshi handed an amount of money that was just enough to pay for both cones of ice cream, Satoshi turned around and left.

Meimi hurry to catch with Satoshi, "Hey, I never asked you to pay for me," Meimi accused.

"I know " he pause, "I just want to miss lead Shinzo, he's always telling me to get a girlfriend," Satoshi's emotionless face change as he give a mischievous smile to Meimi.

Meimi lick her cone and give some to Ruby as well, "wee..wee," Ruby. "You like that much, Ruby," Meimi said.

"Hey, Hiwatari. Right? Since you pretended that I was your girlfriend. Why don't we have a pretended date after all you used me for your mischievous lie," Meimi walked beside Satoshi as she waited for answer.

"I can't, I need to do some work. Maybe another day?" Satoshi was done with his ice cream cone; he looked at Meimi and gives her a small smile to her. Satoshi left Meimi on the corner of a street as he kept walking to an unknown place Meimi didn't about.

SAKURA CAFE

After they met at the fountain, Daisuke and Riku went to a cafe call 'Sakura cafe'. It was a nice little spot were Daisuke took Riku out when she wanted. Of course Riku wanted to go today for a very good reason.

"So what was it that you wanted to talk about with me?" Daisuke asked curiously.

"You see ... you know how my dad works in America. Well.. He asked me and Risa to go to the United States to stay and study for a whole year." Riku wasn't looking at Daisuke as she told her news to him, instead she was looking at her hands.

"Oh, really. So what have you decided?" Daisuke sounded melancholic.

"I really want t go, and so does Risa. Besides it's only going to be for a year. You know how a year comes and goes really quick," Riku tried to comfort Daisuke, who looked like someone had sucked the life out of him.

This was worst than when he found out he had to be thief. Daisuke looked into Riku's eyes that said this was one of the lifetime opportunities she'll ever had. At this Daisuke knew that she really wanted this and he also knew he was going to let her go. He wasn't an aggressive boyfriend to start with so Riku always had her way. He was going to let her if this made Riku happy, even though they wouldn't see each other for a whole year. "Well, if it makes you happy, it makes me happy you're going to the U.S.A."

"Niwa-kun that's why, I love you so much. You're so undestanding and you care about me and my happiness," Riku said as tears were coming out of her eyes.

"Riku...please don't cry. People might think I did something to you." Daisuke sweat dropped as a waitress was looking at him.

"Um... sir is everything alright?" A nameless waitress asked.

"Yes, it's just a girl thing," Daisuke spoke with embarrassment.

"Yes, everything is alright, a thanks for caring, "Riku spoke to the waitress.

After the little commotion the waitress left and came back with their order. They were starving and they ate in silence. Riku had nothing to say and neither did Daisuke. This was kind of awkward for both of them; it was like when they confessed their love to each other. Daisuke paid the bill and left some tip for the waitress. The date was over.

As Daisuke and Riku approach the Mansion were Riku live, Daisuke held Riku's hand. He spoke, "so when are you leaving?"

" A week from now, that way Risa and me can start school at the same time as the kids in America and it will give us time to get use to in America," Riku said as she made calculations in her head.

"I can't believe school starts in two weeks and you're going to America. We'll start high school away from each other," Daisuke said with a sad expression on his face.

"Yeah…. well got to go inside is getting chilly out here," Riku spoke and give Daisuke a kiss on the cheek.

Daisuke headed to his house as soon as he left Riku's Mansion.

'Daisuke, I can believe you. You're cool with the situation. Riku is going to America and you just going to let her go like that,'Dark echo to Daisuke.

'Can you just be quite; you're making this worst than it already is. If Riku wants to go, she can go.'

'Well, I'm such saying this because it hurts me too. And besides who knows what could happen. Maybe Riku will forget about you after she discover American boys,'Now Dark was getting all kind of crazy ideas that could happen, if Riku falls for a boy in the United States to Daisuke.

This made Daisuke tenser than ever, his mind was going wild about things Dark had said. But luckily he shout down Dark out of his mind and stopped thinking. He turned a corner to find his house three houses away from him. The only thing running through Daisuke mind was how he was going to miss Riku this whole school year.

Well that's all for now ... another thing the man name Shinzo is no one, so I just put any name to go with the story. PLEASE REIVEW… REIVEW….
