...Part 35: Dark...
Krad carried Akimoto out of the hospital as if she were his bride – and they both looked happy as could be. Hmph.
He set her down gracefully and Risa ran up to meet her in a hug. "I'm so glad you're okay, Suna!"
Suna smiled and then looked up at me and her smile slid down into more of a smirk. I could tell she was trying not to laugh.
What!?
"Hey Satoshi – I thought you wanted to get out of the hospital! What's taking you so long, huh?" she yelled behind her.
I was instantly confused. Something must have gotten messed up in her head somehow when she got shot. Why was she talking to Satoshi? Krad was right...
The blue-haired Commander walked out through the two big doors into the parking lot with us. "I was signing you out. Excuse me for not catching up sooner."
...there?
Satoshi smirked at me, too! "Hello, Dark. Where's Daisuke?"
I glared at him. Who – what – how!?
"Daisuke said he couldn't make it," Riku answered the rhetorical question.
"I understand," Suna said sweetly.
I looked from Krad to Satoshi and back again – a lot. How damnit!? "How the hell...? You two... What?" I spluttered stupidly.
"The Heart," Krad answered simply, and Suna wrapped her arm around his waist possessively, smiling satisfactorily.
Now I knew I'd been gypped. That damn artwork had separated them! That could've been me and Daisuke! I was pissed off. Very. But I had to keep my cool around the Harada sisters – they didn't know about any of this stuff.
I watched as Krad and Suna kissed, and Satoshi walked farther away from them. It was so wrong!
Dark? Are they really...?
Yeah. They're separated.
How?
Weren't you listening at all!? It was that damn artwork they stole from us!
Seriously?
YES! SERIOUSLY, Daisuke! That's why I said that!
Ouch. Sorry...
Don't tell me you're okay with this!
Daisuke sighed. Easy come, easy go, I guess...
You're impossible!
No – just optimistic.
UGH!!
