Chapter 20

Act 2 Scene 2

By the end of the song, there were about 50 people around to see what the commotion was about. Most of them were Hikari paintings. When the song ended they erupted in cheers. Twilight came around and when they saw her they gasped. "You're back!" She smiled at them and stood beside Daisuke.

"What just happened here?" Dark asked. Twilight put a hand on Daisuke's shoulder. "Well, I did nothing, it was all Dai-kun here. But I did give him a confidence boost." Then she turned back to Dawn. When that happened, Risa nearly jumped her. "You! It's all your fault! You turned them on me! You will regret this, Twilight Dawn!"

Then Satoshi and the others stood beside Dawn. "FYI, Harada." Dawn said icily. "I am not Twilight Dawn. I am Dawn Niwa. Twilight, Is my older sister, Twilight Niwa." Satoshi wrapped a hand around Dawn's waist. "Also, we're breaking up." Risa's eyes went wide. "W-what! What do you mean 'breaking up'! I thought you loved me!"

"No, actually, I didn't. My father forced me to go out with you. You are spoiled and selfish." "You love somebody else, don't you?" Satoshi pushed his glasses back into place. Risa pointed to Dawn. "You're in love with her, aren't you? Admit it, Hiwatari!" Satoshi stiffened slightly. His secret had been found out.

Then Risa grinned evilly. "If you love her, you should show her. Kiss her, watch her reject you." Satoshi stiffened completely. Everyone seemed slightly tense as well. Risa was walking on thin ice. A Hikari painting and a Hikari didn't usually mix, but you never know. Satoshi closed his eyes, his hands in fists.

Then he felt a soft hand on his. He opened his eyes to look at Dawn. She smiled slightly and closed the distance, kissing him slightly. Risa sat in shock as her plan backfired, again. She turned around and stalked off spouting out curses behind her. After she left, Satoshi deepened the kiss and Dawn wrapped her arms around his neck.

Then they parted and looked at everyone else. They were grinning. "Finally!" They shouted together. They all laughed and then the school bell rang, signalling that the day was over.

(Back at Hiwatari's Mansion...)

As soon as Satoshi and Dawn got in the house Dawn froze. Then she slapped her forehead. "Great... He didn't even bother to call..." Then a maid appeared and whispered in her ear. Dawn nodded and the woman hurried off. "Well Satoshi, looks like Hiwatari had some decency in him after all. He called on the phone in his room and everyone bolted. Our turn."

She turned to Satoshi. "Where is your sound-prof hideout?" Satoshi gulped. "It's the closet, I used to hide there all the time." Dawn nodded and the two set out for the closet. When they found it, it was actually quite small. "Oh, this is going to be a problem." But they got in with ease. When Dawn sat down she bolted back up.

"Whats the matter?" "That smell... He didn't... Damn you, Hiwatari!" She slammed the wall and sat back down. "Satoshi, whatever you do, do not come near me." "Why?" "Because I said so and it will save your life if you listen to me." Satoshi sniffed the air. "I smell something... sweet..." "That's the aphrodisiac that Hiwatari sprayed in here."

"Aphro...disiac?" Satoshi gulped out. Suddenly Dawn covered her ears and started banging her head on the closet wall. "Hiwatari!" She growled out. "Stop doing that!" When she stopped, she was red in the face and panting. "What is wrong?" Satoshi asked. "Your father is trying to entice me with noises, the room is nice and sound-prof, but I have sensitive ears."

"Entice you? What do you mean?" Dawn shook her head. "Just stay away from me." Satoshi sat beside her. "No. I'll go through it with you." "Damn you, Hikari!" She shouted at him. "Don't you know what aphrodisiac is!" "Actually, no." "It's a love drug, makes you horny and crave with lust. Happy now?"

Satoshi was red now, half from embarrassment and half from the smell. "Oh, crap." Dawn grinned and set her head on the wall again. "Well, let's just hope common sense stays with us long enough."
