(c) Yukiru Sugisaki. Sorry its short and not eventful, guys. My dad's been updating our computers and did some whacky stuff to it. I have two monitors on the fritz and have to rely on my silly little blackberry to update…yup, I'm that desperate and down in the dumps. Computer was supposed to be fixed a month ago, but I guess I make due with little things. But thanks to Princesa de la Luna for helping through this and she's going to be my little helper on seeing how this formatting will work. I managed to have the Word Doc stay up long enough without it shutting off or freezing up (I save every 3 secs just in case) so now that I have the proper formatting, I don't know how it will turn up on the mobile version of formatting. So if its smushed up and unreadable I need someone to tell me! Same for the Naruto story please! Thank you!

Kanashii hodo hikari dashita
Shiroi yami kirisaku tsubasa ni nare

Tsumetai taiyou ni terasare teta
Kainara sareta jiyuu ga atta
Kagamini utsuuta kiseki no naru
Masuku o hazushi hajimeta my soul...
[ Lyrics from: .com/lyrics/d/dn_angel/true_ ]
Kuzure te yuku abe no mukou wa

Kibou mo onaji kou suru
Mita sare mai kokoro aru nara
Tobitateru shuumatsu no PURORUGOUE

Yaiba no ho na kaze fuku sekai mamoru
Beki mono wa nan nano ka?
Hitotsu hitotsu itami wo shiru tabi
Nontou jibun da to chikazuku

Kie yuku fake light umare yuku true light
Kono te ni...

Shiroku somaru yami tsuki nukete
Atarashii jidai o kizami tsuzukero
Toki wa nashita kokoro no mama ni
Hateshi naku, tsuzuki teku

Today was February 13…tomorrow is St. Valentine's Day. One of very popular holidays celebrated at the school, especially for the female population. Everyone had plans on getting their special 'someone' something special for the holiday. The Harada twins were planning on getting something for their parents…however Risa was more focused on getting something for Phantom Dark. Saehara was more focused on the current gossip than anything else. Nao had planned on sending something to her parents, who were still over seas on archeological digs. Daisuke however was at a lost on what he was going to do. His mothers' birthday was coming up soon and he couldn't think of anything to get his sometimes overbearing mother. He had asked Nao if she could spare some time to help him, and fortunately for him, she agreed. After school had let out they wandered around town and peeked into any shop they could find. They had nearly given up hope until they came across an antique shop. They peered through the window and Daisuke saw a potential gift. A beautiful dark blue oriental jewelry box with pink sakura blossoms decorating the sides, but one look at the price tag shot Daisuke's spirits down. "Expensive…" He mutters dejectedly, "There's no way I can afford it…"

Nao was dejected too, highschoolers don't get paid that much. With sunken shoulders, they continued their walk for another, less expensive, store. "Cheer up, Daisuke. You know, it doesn't have to be a materialistic gift. I'm sure whatever you give your mother, she'll love it."

Daisuke managed to smile a little, just to humor her, "You never know…"

Upon rounding the corner of a large apartment building, the pair slowed down their walk when they saw a pair of movers lifting a grand piano up the side of the building by rope to a third story window.

"I never understand why people use rope to lift those heavy things through windows." Nao said, watching the movers, "Haven't they seen the cartoons where the piano always falls because the rope snaps?"

Daisuke's eyes widen at the possibility that the piano might very well fall at anytime, "Maybe we should go on the other side walk?"

Nao was about to agree when suddenly she heard a little girl in a yellow dress running after her white ball that rolled under the shadow of the piano. As the little brown haired kneeled down to retrieve her ball, the predictable happened. The hope holding the piano in the hair snapped at the source!

Nao grabbed the sides of her head and yelled hysterically, "I knew something like this would happen! It always happens in the cartoons!"

Daisuke snapped into action, using his thief-like reflexes, he dives towards the girl and they roll away just in time to miss the piano. The thundering crash attracted on lookers. Nao ran around the broken piano to get to her friend and the little girl who was blubbering from the sudden scare. Daisuke and Nao tried their best to comfort the poor girl and luckily the mother ran up to them and claimed her daughter.

"Oh, I was so worried." The mother cried, holding her daughter close.

Daisuke rubbed his head embarrassed and snuck away as more people gathered around the scene. Grabbing Nao's wrist he made a run out of there while no one was paying much attention to them. However the mother noticed him running away, confused as to why since she didn't get a chance to thank him.

"That was amazing what you did!" Nao exclaimed looking at Daisuke's kneeled over near the plaza fountain near the ocean, trying to catch his breath, "You were so brave! You're a hero, Daisuke."

Daisuke sat up and rubbed his cheek, blushing at the praise, "I wouldn't say that…I was actually pretty scared for a minute there."

Nao sat on the edge of the fountain, "well, you did almost get flatten into a pancake…" She stared at his face and noticed a small scratch under his left eye, "…luckily you made it out with only one little scratch." She said pointing to the scratch.

"What?" Daisuke exclaimed, terrified, he looked into the fountain to see his reflection. She was right. There was a scratch under his eye. Tenderly he touched it, "Uh-oh. Mom's going to want an explanation for this…"

Nao cocked her head confused, "Hm? It's only a little scratch I don't think she's going to bite your head off for that."

Nao stood with Daisuke at the doorway to his house. Daisuke was trying to stall for time to think of an excuse to tell his mother. However he to soon face the music when his mother abruptly opened the front door with a stern look on her face. Wordlessly she dragged Daisuke into the house and slammed the door in Nao's face, much to Nao's and Daisuke's astonishment.

"Mom!" Daisuke yelled, mortified that his mom did such a thing. He had hoped that Nao wouldn't take it personally. He would have to call her later to apologize over and over until she forgave him.

"Why did you slam the door on Nao?" Emiko ignored her son's questions and frantically began to frisk his body, "A better question is why would you do something so reckless?" She rubbed his torso and legs for injuries, "I get a strange call from a strange woman telling me to thank you for saving her daughter from a falling piano! Do you know how worried I was? I don't even want to think about it!" She said fixing his clothes just as grandpa came into the hall, "It looks like he only has a few scratches and bruises."

Grandpa crossed his arms, "Honestly, what good are you if you can't even dodge a piano?" He said disappointed.

Daisuke looked down slightly, "I was worried about the little girl getting hurt…"

"What if you got hurt instead?" His mother yelled, "Dark would never be able to make another appearance! You be careful from now on, do you hear me?"

It stung at Daisuke that his own mother was only concerned about what happens to Dark more than what happens to her own son, "….I'll try mom…."

Nao returned home later that night, more down than she had ever been. A little dejected that Mrs. Niwa slammed the door in her face…more so…she felt Daisuke getting more and more distant from her… Reaching into her bag for her keys, she noticed a medium size postbox sitting at her door step. 'Another gift from mom and dad?'

She wondered, picking up the box and tucking it under her arm while she unlocked the door to her house. Once inside, she tossed her bag on the floor and her keys on the side table along with the white box. She went into the kitchen to fix herself something to eat when the kitchen phone rang. With an annoyed sigh, she placed her food down and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Miss Nao…" Daisuke greeted sounding as depressed as she felt, "…I wanted to apologize for what happened today about my mom."

Nao smiled to herself a little, 'That Daisuke…'

"Its okay, Daisuke. I'm sure your mom had some reason to do that…I mean it's not the first time I had a door slammed in my face." She tried to joke but only to get a dry chuckle on both ends. (From her and Daisuke)

After a moment of pause, she wondered if he hung up, "Daisuke?"

"Yeah, I'm still here…I was just thinking…"

Nao decided to sit down for this one, "oh, about what?"

"About my mom…I wonder if she worries more about…someone else more than me…she heard about what happened today and she completely chewed me out about it." Nao frowned, Mrs. Niwa wasn't acting like the doting mother she was known for, "That's weird…usually you're her entire world…but…" She blushed to herself, "…if it makes you feel better Daisuke…I was really worried about you…"

On the other end, Daisuke blushed a soft red, "huh?"

Feeling that she might've been too forward she tried to cover up, "U-uh! What I meant was you're my best friend! Of course I would be worried about you! You getting smashed by a piano is a pretty scary thing!"

Daisuke's side went silent again.

"Daisuke?"

"…..Nao…thank you….for always being there for me…."

Nao blush returned and she smiled to herself, "…no problem…."

Maybe Daisuke wasn't getting as distant as she thought he was. After ending the phone call with Daisuke and finishing her meal, Nao decided it was time to see what her parents got for her this time. Taking the box up to her room she set it down on her bed. Reaching for the remote on her side table she switched on the news to hear about any more Phantom Dark sightings. Lately, stupid people have been acting like Phantom Dark and had been faking letters and appearances – it was quite entertaining to watch them make fools of themselves because none of them could do what Dark can. Sitting on her bed with her les crossed, she ripped off the tape that held the flaps down and pulled the flaps open to see what was inside.

"What the hell is this?" She reached inside and pulled out a set of 4 fairly large golden rings with three green magatama on each ring. "Magatama? Aren't they for priests or priestesses or something?" She took out each ring and tried to wear one on her wrist. "Doesn't even fit." She sighed looking at the ring hang very loosely on her wrist, "Oh well, can't wear it – hang it." She said hanging the rings on her bed posts.

"Another warning letter has gone out and it appears that Phantom Dark is targeting not a work of art, but the heart of a beautiful woman! By sometime to night, Dark will steal the hearts of two very lucky women."

Nao shook her head, "One woman is not enough for that guy? Geez what a perv. He should stick to stealing art."

"Well that isn't a very nice thing to say."

Nao whirled around to see the very devil himself. Phantom Dark. "Ugh! It's you."

Dark crossed his arms amused, "You don't sound very happy to see me."

"Well you aren't exactly the greatest of company." Nao sneered.

"Are you still sore because I kissed you?"

Nao jumped off her bed to poke him in the chest, "That was my first kiss you jerk and I was saving it for someone!"

Dark chuckled, "I'm honored to have had it."

It was fun to get her riled up. Nao's face darkens with rage, "Ugh! What do girls see in you?"

Dark flips his dark purple bangs out of his eyes and flashed her a charming smile, "My charming goods." (Think Tamaki, people from Ouran High School Host Club)

Nao rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Yeah, that's it." Then she crossed her arms and looked at him suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"

Dark winked at her and pointed to her first, "I'm here for heart of the beautiful lady." "Sorry, my mom's not home."

Dark chuckled softly as he withdrew his hand to reach into his back pocket, "Too bad, but actually, I'm here to deliver something to you."

"So you're a messenger boy now?"

"A very handsome one." He said pulling a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to her, "This is from Daisuke Niwa. He asked me to deliver this to you." He said softly.

Cautiously Nao took the paper from him. On the corner of the paper it was Daisuke's name in his handwriting, which was good enough for her. "Thanks I guess…"

Dark waved his hand, "Eh, its no big deal." He turned around to leave, but then noticed that golden rings hanging off her bedpost, 'Strange…what is she doing with those?' He shook his head lightly, 'No…it couldn't be…those were sealed off years ago…' Shaking off the thought, he took to the skies, leaving Nao there to open the paper note. Sitting at the foot of her bed, Nao opened the folded paper carefully and her face flushed a deep red at the contents on the paper. Daisuke had beautifully sketched a picture of her smiling softly at her. She imagined that this is how Daisuke sees her. On the bottom left hand corner, the word 'thank you' was written in beautiful cursive. "No Daisuke…thank you…" She held the paper over her heart, "…thanks for the early Valentines gift…" Unbeknownst to her, behind her, the golden rings began to a beautiful golden red color.
