I hope you all enjoy this chapter. :)
"Hana Katsumi!" said Hana's teacher. Hana perked up. "Let's talk as soon as class is over." Oh no, thought Hana. She had done it now! She had been daydreaming so much that she hadn't been paying attention to what the teacher was saying. She felt so embarrassed. Hana noticed Riku looking at her. Hana wrote something down, ripped it off silently, and handed it to Riku. Riku sat right next to her, so it was easy to trade notes. Hana had written "Why are you staring at me like that?" After a few minutes, Riku gave her a note back "why were you daydreaming? You're not going to do well in school if you do that." Hana had to admit, that was true. But her little 'date' with Dark had gotten her into a daydreaming frenzy. She sighed and she tried to pay attention to her teacher.
After class her teacher scolded her and told her pretty much the same thing Riku did. When Hana went to the cafeteria, she saw Riku and Risa beckoning her over. "Hey Hana!" said Risa.
"Hi girls!" said Hana. Hana sat down next to Riku.
"Hana, wouldn't it be so much fun to go on a date with Dark?" Risa said dreamily. Hana, who at the time was drinking some water, started to gag. "You okay?"
"Yeah… I'm fine." Hana then noticed Riku waving at Daisuke. "Hey Riku, do you like Daisuke?"
"What? No way! He's just a friend. I'm just waving at him!" Riku said, suddenly angry.
"I'm fine with that… the only man I want is Dark..." Hana said dreamily. Hana her mind began to wonder, when she saw Satoshi walk up to their table. Hana looked at him. "Hi Satoshi!" Satoshi looked like he was in a daze. He walked over to her. Hana was feeling a little bit uncomfortable.
"Satoshi, give Hana some space!" said Risa. Satoshi was very close to her face. Then he whispered in her ear.
"I'm eager to meet you again, Hana Katsumi." Hana shivered. That wasn't Satoshi's voice. Hana looked at his eyes. His eyes looked like they were changing colors! Suddenly, they became normal again, and Satoshi backed away, shocked. "Sorry…" Then he ran off.
"What was all that about?" asked Riku. "And what did he whisper in your ear?" However, Hana didn't hear that. All she could think about was that eerie voice.
Daisuke stared at Risa from another table. He was getting a headache from Dark talking so much. "We could have hugged, we could have kissed, or, even better, we could have smooched up a…"
"Dark!" Daisuke interrupted. "I can't believe you said that! What will the readers of this story think?" Dark ignored him.
"We would have had a great time if you wouldn't have been bothering me so much! Talk about annoying!" Dark complained. Daisuke tried to tune him out, but it was hard. "Okay, I'll be quiet as soon as you answer this question."
"What?"
"How come you haven't kissed Risa?"
"I could never do that!"
"Oh come on, if you want her to love you, why don't you give her a kiss or two?"
"You're so annoying! Shut up already!" Dark grumbled but he stopped talking. Daisuke grunted. He shouldn't have been so rude to Dark, but he didn't want Dark's 'dating advice.' He was going to handle this his own way.
Hana walked home, feeling scared. She didn't know why, but what Satoshi had said, and his voice, they had all scared her. It didn't help that she was walking home, all by herself…. She walked around the corner when she saw Satoshi again! He was standing at the bus stop. He turned his head and looked at her. Hana turned to run, when Satoshi called out "Hana, wait!" Hana wasn't going to listen to him. She ran off. She ran for a couple minutes and stopped. She looked back and saw that Satoshi was right behind her!
"Are you trying to be a stalker? Cause, you're doing a pretty good job." Hana looked around. She couldn't be at a worse place! She was in an alleyway, nobody around…
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for what happened." Hana looked at Satoshi in wonder. "I… I can't explain what happened, but… I'm sorry. It won't ever happen again, I promise." Satoshi then ran off. Hana couldn't believe Satoshi had said that. Well, she wouldn't hold what had happened against him. He sounds like he was truly sorry. Hana started to walk out of the alley, when a man suddenly walked into the alleyway. Hana gasped. He looked like Dark's age, but he had long blonde hair and was wearing all white. He also had white wings. "Hello Hana." Hana backed away. That was the voice she had heard earlier.
"What do you want?" She asked, scared. She kept walking back, but then, to her dismay, hit a wall. He was getting closer.
"I want to talk to you that's all. It's so nice to make your acquaintance." He smiled at her. "My name is Krad."
"H-how come you look like Dark?" Asked Hana. Krad smiled, which made Hana flinch.
"Unfortunately, I can't tell you that." Krad pulled out a feather. "Let's have some fun."
Daisuke walked passed an alleyway when he heard a scream. "That sounds like Hana!" said Daisuke, surprised. Suddenly, Daisuke transformed into Dark. "Dark, how did you just transform without me looking at Risa's picture?" Dark didn't answer, but instead flew off.
Hana screamed when she felt the searing pain. Krad's feather started to glow. "That's it, in just a few minutes…"
"Dark!" Hana screamed again. Krad suddenly gasped and fell over. Hana looked and saw Dark standing there, concern clear on his face. "Dark… you're here..." Hana felt weak and fell down.
"Hana!" Dark knelt down and helped Hana rise to her feet. "Let me take you home." He said warmly. "Just show me the way."
When they reached Hana's home, Dark was stunned. "This is where you live?"
"Yeah… Dark, I'm living by myself…" Dark looked at her in disbelief. "I figured someone would figure it out eventually." Hana walked up to her apartment door. She looked at Dark. "Dark, who was that guy?"
"Hana, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you, but I promise I'll protect you." Then he disappeared.
