Taki sat at his desk. It was after school and basically everyone was there to help set up for up coming class party. Christmas was coming and everyone was excited. He had tried several attempts to capture Riku's heart but she kept her distance. He asked her many times why she wouldn't go out with him but it was always the same answer. 'I'm saving my heart for someone else.' He smirked. Who could this lucky guy be? He was foolish not to notice she liked him. After everyone was finished for the day, he walked up to her at her desk. She looked up at him momentarily before going back to packing her school bag. "Riku, would you mind going to see the lighting of the town Christmas tree with me?" he asked. She looked back up at him. "Sorry, I can't. I'm…" she started to say but he cut her off. "Saving your heart for someone else. I know, but could you spare me one date? I mean, come on. He hasn't noticed you and he probably never will so get over him and move on with your life. You can't just focus on one guy all the time!" he said making an angry face towards her. She stared at him. Tears started to well up before she ran out of the room, a clink following the scene. He looked down to see her locket on the floor, opened. Risa looked at him with sad eyes before stooping to pick it up. "The guy she is talking about has already noticed her. He loved her with every inch of his body and would kill or die to protect her. Daisuke is waiting for her to come to him. You don't understand. Daisuke's dead." She said looking at the pictures in the locket. He stared at her as if he just got slapped in the face. "I…I'm sorry! I didn't know! If I had known!" he started but just couldn't bring himself to say it. He knew he would have used that information to tell her off like he just did. He ran after her looking everywhere. He found her sitting on the bench by the school yard. She was sitting with another guy with purple hair.

"Don't worry about what he said. He's just jealous of Daisuke. You know it. Daisuke had himself a good catch so cheer up." Dark said, patting her back gently. She looked up at him before smiling faintly. "I don't know. Maybe he's right. Maybe I should get over the fact that Daisuke's dead and I can't do anything about it. It's just…it's just that I'm afraid that Daisuke will hate me when I go up there." She answered. "Don't be silly. He wished for nothing more that you to be happy. I'm sure he wouldn't mind." Dark replied, making her look him fully in the eyes. "Do you mean it?" she asked. "With all my heart." He said looking down at her. For some reason she blushed and ran off. He watched her leave. He sighed before getting up to leave. He was ready to go home.

Taki heard the entire conversation. He was no physic but he could tell the guy liked Riku. He watched as both of them left before sitting on the bench. He had ruined his chances of ever going out with her. He sighed and left for home.

Riku started to slow down. "Why did my heart do that?" she asked herself. She placed her hand on her heart as it slowly went back to regular pace. She knew she was falling for Dark. She had tried so many times to find an explanation for all the signs of love she that remembered from when she went out with Daisuke. Suddenly, Mio appeared by her side, an amused look riding along her face. "So, it has already gotten that far? I'm impressed Riku." She said, making Riku jump. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Oh nothing." She said. Mio disappeared leaving an angry and confused Riku behind. Riku walked toward home, her heart racing. Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth with a gloved hand. "Shh now. Don't want anyone letting Dark know I have you." Said Krad holding her tightly. She laughed Mingcingly as they disappeared from the street.
