Note: The next chapter to The Dark Side. Sorry it took so long to send
in another chapter to it, I had to get time to type it up because I'd
already had it written up, I just needed access to the internet and a
computer that works.
The Dark Side: Time Isn't On Your Side

Yoh slid the costume under the bed as he re-undressed and crept back
into bed, moving the note from it.

Closing his eyes, Yoh slipped back to sleep slowly as a worried
expression crept onto the face of the one watching Yoh from outside on
the treebranch.

Moving his hand to the side of the tree from off of the hilt of his
sword, Amidamaru sighed. He'd seen everything that had happened at the
store, and he was a little worried. That had been so unlike Yoh to
seduce and lie.

SIghing, Amidamaru glanced at the bed to the sleeping Yoh, not
satisfied that he was unsure what was going on.

As Manta entered the room, he smiled and hid the large bag of clothes
before he jumped into the bed beside Yoh, not noticing the crouching
samurai in the tree watching them to defend both their peace of mind
and his own.

'What am I missing?' Amidamaru said to himself. 'There's some piece of
the puzzle here I am just not seeing, what does all of this mean?'

Amidamaru watched the two lovers as they slept on, through the rest of
the day, through the night, the wind blowing past him and blowing his
spiked hair to the side as he stayed there all night, watching over the
two.

The next morning, Yoh stretched as he reached for the clock. "What
time is it?" he mumbled as he found the clock and picked it up.

Manta looked at Yoh as his face became a mixture of horror and shock.
"What time is it?" he asked.

"Manta! We're gonna be late! It's 7:58!" Yoh yelled in response as he
jumped up and ran to the chair where he'd thrown them onto yesterday
and began to get dressed.

Manta jumped up and ran to the bathroom to get dressed as well, cursing
himself for not setting the clock.

Amidamaru chuckled at the two as they raced out the door for school,
unaware of the two figures who had began to follow them as they ran.
