Gomen nasai for waiting...4 months! I had serious writer's block. >.< This is the last part.

After coming home from the movie theater, Daisuke felt like locking himself in his room forever, and never going outside again. He'd failed. He'd made himself look stupid, Takeru was still Hikari's idiot boyfriend, alive and healthy, and not the bloody pulp Daisuke wanted him to be.
"What's wrong?" Chibimon asked.
"Nothing. Leave me alone." Daisuke turned away.
"Whatever you say, Daisuke." Chibimon then went back to sleep. But Daisuke stayed awake for a long time before falling asleep, lingering on how stupid he'd been.

Daisuke woke early the next morning, disappointed. He'd had such a wonderful dream. Dreams had always been his passport to happiness. Last night had been no exception. Takeru Takaishi did not exist. And Hikari was still his best friend. It wasn't totally unrealistic-it was exactly what would've happened if Takeru hadn't moved to Odaiba.
Daisuke lay in bed for a few moments before realizing the date. "Argh! Hikari-chan's birthday! And I haven't gotten her a present yet!"
Daisuke got ready in what must've been record time, and bolted out of thew door, heading for nowhere in particular. He ran for at least 5 minutes before looking around him. All the stores were closed! It was too early. Besides, he needed to rest, so he sat down on a nearby park bench.
"Daisuke! Why are you up so early?" Hikari walked toward Daisuke and sat down next to him.
"I...woke up early."
"That's not the reason. You don't fool me. You just would've gone back to sleep." Hikari leaned closer. "Now, what's the real reason?"
"A girl. It's her birthday today." Daisuke wasn't about to tell the truth and say he forgot her birthday. Then she'd hate him forever.
"It's my birthday today too. I don't know anyone with the same birthday."
"You don't know her. Not very well, at least." A lie.
"Oh. What's she like?"
"She's nice. Never mean. And she's pretty, has a nice smile, and she's always there for me. She never misses one of my soccer games. But lately she's been ignoring me. Her best friend from when she was younger moved to Odaiba. She always goes to his basketball games now and people say they're destiny. I miss her."
"That reminds me of..." Hikari looked at Daisuke, who nodded sadly. "...myself..."
"I think the mall's open now. See you later, Hikari-chan." Daisuke turned to leave.
"Why didn't you tell me, Daisuke?"
Daisuke ignored her and kept walking.
"Daisuke?"
Still, no reply.
"Dai-kun!"
Daisuke stopped, stunned. Why was she using her old nickname for him?
"Daisuke, sit down. I don't care if those shorts are new, you're sitting down right now and listening to what I have to say."
Daisuke sat down.
"I don't love Takeru."
"Nani?!"
"Well, I do, but like a brother. He's been like one since we first met."
"Then why are you going out with him?"
"I didn't want to hurt him."
"But you hurt me."
"Because no matter what, I won't lose you."
"Then who do you really love?"
Hikari paused before answering.
"You."
"But what will you tell Takeru?"
"What I just told you. The truth."

Again, gomen nasai for waiting over 4 months! I know Hikari was a little OOC, but wouldn't she
act differently alone with her ex-best friend? Sorry this was rushed and the ending was crappy.
Don't forget to tell me what you think by reviewing!
