Man alive… I haven't updated in a while…sorry for the wait everybody!!!

I had to go back and find the story so I could see where I left off…how sad is that?

Anyways, on wit da chappie!!!

Dark finally reached the Niwa household and flung the door open. Without bothering to take off his wet shoes, he dashed up the stairs and locked himself in his bedroom. He slumped against the wall in the corner of the room and cried himself to sleep and blessed oblivion.

Back at the hospital, Emiko sighed and brushed a strand of hair away from her eyes. Dark has just run out of the hospital screaming at Risa about something. She sat down next to the small form of her son and kept vigil, should he begin to wake up.

After a few hours of this, she sat his brow furrow and his hand twitch. He made a small moaning sound and opened his crimson eyes, blinking against the bright light.

"Daisuke!" cried his mother and swept his head into a hug.

"Mhhmph! Mom! Let go!" he murmured, muffled by her arm.

"Sorry, sweetie."

"Where's Dark?"

Emiko frowned slightly. Daisuke instantly became concerned.

"Mom?"

"I don't know. He ran out of here screaming something about it wasn't his fault."

"Who else has he talked to besides you and dad?"

"Ummm…Risa was here earlier."

"What?!?"

"Daisuke, calm down, you're still sick!"

Daisuke slumped unhappily again the pillow, utterly defeated and his energy spent.

"Don't blame him for this, mom. It was all my fault…"

"Daisuke! I would never blame Dark for all of this. And it wasn't your fault either. You're okay, that's all that matters."

"Can you go home and make sure that he's alright? I don't want him to keep blaming himself."

Daisuke leaned back and fell asleep after being assured that Dark would be okay. Emiko got up and walked outside of the room, where Kosuke was sitting with a Styrofoam cup filled with coffee. Wiz, looking sullen and more like a cotton ball than anything, sat on the floor by his feet."Can you do me a favor and go check on Dark? Daisuke is really worried."

Kosuke nodded and Wiz hopped up onto his shoulder. They walked slowly toward the exit and tuned the corner and out of sight.

Mhhr. Short again…still have writers block…
