Riku sat in the classroom. She was annoyed at Dark. 'I'm only going to your school to protect you. And maybe check out a few of the girls.' She was frustrated that he would do that. Since he was older, at least she didn't have to worry about him being in her classes. The bell rang and everyone packed up hurriedly so they could leave. As Riku entered the hall, someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see Risa standing there to talk to her. "What is it?" she asked. She had gotten a little better about being nice to her since she wasn't always around her anymore. Risa looked down. "Could…could I come live with you? Father and I had a fight about why you left and everything so…please?" she asked her. "What kind of fight? Did he hit you?" she asked. Risa nodded slightly, her arms behind her back, twisting the bottom of her skirt. "Of course, Risa. Come home with me after school today so you can meet Ms. Kika. Then we'll get it all settled. Ok?' She said, her voice getting soft toward the end. Risa looked up at her, her eyes shining with the biggest thank-you she had ever seen. As Riku watched Risa walk toward her next class, worries came over her about how Dark would handle this.
Risa sat at her desk looking down. Her thoughts were focused on the conversation she just had with Riku. But still, she could tell she was worried about something…or someone. After all they were twins. Risa let it slip her mind as she started to focus on her schoolwork. Whatever it was, she would find out sooner or later.
Dark sat a fairly small desk. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail. He would have to get used to this if he was going to come everyday. He sighed heavily as the teacher continued the boring lessons. Soon the bell rang and he stretched his long legs. As he walked across the school yard toward Riku, someone reached her before him. It was Risa. He looked at Riku questioningly. She gave a look that told him she would tell him later. "Risa, this is my friend." She said. "D. They call me D." he said, thinking of they first name that came to him. Riku gave him a look that said, what kind of name is that? "Hi! I'm Risa!" Risa replied holding her hand out. "Yeah, I know, Riku told me about you." He said glancing at Riku. "So, you hang out with my sister? That's nice to hear that Riku's finally getting social. I've been trying ever since the…" she started out but stopped herself. Riku looked down. He looked between the two sisters. "Well, let's go." He said, smiling slightly. They set off for home. "You need to go ahead home and tell Ms. Kika that someone is coming home with me and to pretend you are her son. Don't forget your name, D. By the way, what kind of name is D?" Riku whispered. He looked down at her. "Fine but you'll have to stop and talk to Risa about something so I can get the head start. And it's a name that worked." He whispered back, straightening himself. "Risa! Look at the birds nest!" said Riku, pointing at the tree nearest to them. Dark rolled his eyes, and kept on walking, getting slightly faster. After a couple of minutes, Riku gave up on trying to get Risa to find the invisible birds nest. When they reached the house, they entered to find "D" sitting at the table looking annoyed at some homework. "Riku? Is that you dear? D told me you were coming home with a friend." Said Ms. Kika, walking into the room with tea on a tray. "Please, sit down." She said smiling at them both. They sat down next to D who pretended to give up on his homework. "What is it you want dear?" Ms. Kika asked nicely.
"Thank-you! I'll be back tomorrow with my stuff! Thank-you!" said a delighted Risa as she ran home. Ms. Kika smiled at her as she waved good-bye. She sighed. "Ms. Kika, thank-you for letting Risa come stay with us. To help pay for us, I'll get a job. That way it'll be easier." Said Riku, standing behind her. She turned around to look at her. "Thank-you dear." She said smiling yet again. As Ms. Kika walked past her, Riku looked after her sister. It was going to be hard to keep Dark's secret from her. A hand placed itself on her shoulder. She glanced at the person behind her. "You did a good thing. Offering to get a job." He said. Then he smirked at her. "But you realize I'm gonna be bugging you while your working." He said. She slapped his hand away before walking inside the house. He watched as she went inside, disappearing from sight. He started to get angry at himself. Then He realized that he was changing. It might be what he feared. Love for someone who would never love him back. He followed the two back inside as those thought consumed his mind.
