Well I'm back from the land of writers block. I was going to give up on this story as I was stuck but a flash of inspiration (not to mention the lovely reviews) convinced me to keep going. I think Takeru is really going mad he argues with himself too much. If there are a lot of mistakes in this then I'm sorry I was really sick when I typed this out. Not smart I know but I wanted to get this out. Now we are getting dangerously close to Takedai territory here I need you to help me out. If you review this chapter (and I hope you do) please include if you want it to be a Takedai or not the majority will win.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! BANG!

"Wha ... What the... Is it morning already..? It can't be its still dark out.

BANG!

*Well who ever is making that much noise cant care too much what time the time is... Hey what is the time? *

Groaning I rolled over and rubbed my eyes to clear the blurriness in my vision and blinking glanced at the illuminated numbers on the alarm clock sitting on the dressing table.

*3:00AM, who the hell would make that much noise at 3:00AM? *

Another loud thump then the sound of something smashing against the wall.

*Great someone decided to throw a tantrum, they couldn't of waited till a more reasonable hour to do this? *

The lights suddenly were turned on flooding the hall and seeped under the crack at the bottom of my door. I could hear people running towards the source of the disturbance. A few minutes later the relentless banging ceased and screaming and a stream of curses took its place instead. I tried to block the noise out by covering my ears with my hands. When that didn't work I put my head under the pillow and threw the covers over my head. While I succeeded in muffling the noise I had by no means blocked it all out. I waited. They must be having real trouble restraining whoever it was. It took about ten minutes but the noise eventually faded away and the lights were clicked off.

*Finally! * I rolled over...I rolled over again... *Damn! Now I can't sleep...hang on a minute where was Daisuke? * I sat up starring at Daisuke's bed. I rubbed my eyes again...nope definately not there, jus a pile of rumpled sheets and blankets.

*Where would he be at this time? *

I got up and padded over to the door. Opening it a tiny bit I cautiously peeked through the gap. It wasn't as if it was against the rules to be out of your room at night, people would sometimes get up when they couldn't sleep and watch TV. Despite this I still didn't want to be caught roaming the corridors at night. I darted out into the corridor and went as quickly as I could without breaking into a run. I almost overlooked him if it hadn't been for the glow of the TV I wouldn't have known he was there. He was sitting on the couch arms wrapped around his legs pulling them in tightly so he could rest his chin on his knees.

"Dais why are you up so early?" I came round the back of the couch and sat down next to him.

"I couldn't sleep." Daisuke sounded like he had been crying the flashes of the TV lit up his face and reflected off of the wet tracks confirming my suspicion.

"Dais why are you crying?" I asked softly. Daisuke sniffed and attempted to smile failing miserably.

"I don't really know Taker I just seem to get really depressed for no real reason, more and more often now...I'm just really fucked up I guess."

"Where's all this coming from. It's not like you."

"No Takeru this is what I'm usually like. Ever since you got here though it hasn't been as bad and I've been in a pretty good mood. Its confusing I thought I might be getting better but I woke up tonight and realised that I was fooling myself I'm just as pathetic as I used to be before you got here."

"Don't say that Dais your not pathetic; at least I don't think so."

"Yeah well that makes one of you at least." But it seemed to do the trick because Daisuke wiped his eyes and managed to smile at me. Good. Seeing him all depressed frightened me and made me uncomfortable.

"So what are you doing up then Takeru?"

"I couldn't sleep with all that noise going on."

I could still faintly hear screaming echoing down the halls from the time out room.

* I hope they scream themselves hoarse soon I want to go back to sleep. *

* Though it doesn't appear that you mind being alone with Daisuke too much does it? *

*Oh no not you again...What do you mean? *

* Well have you noticed the way the moons light shines on his hair giving it a silvery look, or how his eyes are sparkling from the glow of the tv or-*

*Stop right there! I'm dating Hikari, I love Hikari. *

*Sure you do. *

*I do, Dais my friend that's all. *

*What's up with calling him Dais all of a sudden then? *

"Hey Takeru." Daisuke was clicking his fingers in front of me obviously trying to get my attention.

"What?"

"You were seriously spaced out then."

"Sorry"

Daisuke stared at me a little bit longer then turned back to the TV. I wasn't going back to bed yet either so with a sigh I tried to focus on the TV as well. I had read somewhere once that your inner voice tells you what your subconsciously thinking...Could it be true, was I telling myself that I liked Daisuke more than I thought..? No it couldn't I was straight for one thing and I love Hikari...Don't I?...Grrrrrrrr these thoughts were confusing and annoying as hell and I didn't need them right now! Despite myself I sneaked a glace over at Daisuke and smiled at the sight. His head had rolled to rest on his shoulder; his eyes were closed obviously asleep. It didn't look an overly comfortable position, his legs were still drawn up with his arms wrapped aroung them...I had to admit he did look very cute like that...

************************************************************************

" Hey Takeru, Daisuke wake up."

Someone was shaking me, I wish they would go away I was too comfortable right now, snuggled up to the warm body beside me...wait a minute...what body? I sprang up. I must have fallen asleep shortly after Daisuke had I was still on the couch so was Daisuke but we had moved around a lot in our sleep.

Daisuke was still sitting up but had let go of his legs and was more spread out he had slid down a lot lower. I must have shifted closer as I had been sleeping pressed against his side with my head resting on his chest.

"Finally you woke up."

I looked up at the voice. Rumi was leaning over the couch grinning at me. I had never blushed so badly in my life, I must have looked like a tomatoes.

"We weren't d-doing anything." I managed to stutter out " I k-know it probably looked like it-"

"Don't worry about it Takeru far from my business if you two want to nestle together all night, but it might be better if you did it in your own room."

If possible I blushed even more, he made it sound so dirty! Rumi reached down and gently shook Daisuke till groaning he woke up.

"Right now off to bed with you two for what's left of the night."

Still blushing madly I raced to my room, Daisuke stumbling after me half-awake, I jumped into my bed pulling the covers over my burning face. I was so embarrassed...

**********************************************************************

The rest of the day didn't go particularly well either. True to her word my mom did come to visit me bringing with her a stack of work the school had sent to our apartment. She spent the two hours fussing over me and burst into tears when she had to leave. She hugged me so tight I couldn't breath and thought I was going to pass out. After she left I went to the art class being held with Daisuke? Unfortunately I had to put up with M.D, Modoko and Tetsuya constantly mimicking my mothers tearful goodbye. I got so sick of it that I "accidentally'' let some paint fly in their general direction. This turned out to be a mistake as it triggered an all out paint war, followed by a twenty minute lecture on how to use the art materials in a proper and mature manner and a banning of using the art room till we learn some respect. We were practically thrown into the baths and told we were not to leave until we were squeaky-clean. Daisuke found the situation rather amusing to say the least and commented that I looked like the swamp thing covered in green paint like I was, to which I retorted that with his blue face and fluff all through his hair he resembled a giant mouldy blueberry. This soon escalated into a water fight that took almost half-n-hour to clean up, earned us another lecture this time on wasting water and then got us sent to our room for the rest of the day. Later in the evening as I was writing in my journal and Daisuke was stretched out on the floor building a card castle the door banged open and Danny came running in clutching something against his chest and looking very excited.

"Guess what my dad just gave me?"

"Something to eat?" Daisuke asked hopefully as we had been sent here without any tea.

"No even better, look."

Danny plopped on my bed a tiny, fluffy, snow-white kitten with beautiful blue eyes. It yawned and curled up looking like a big fluffy snowball.

"Isn't he adorable?" Danny breathed.

"He is kinda cute." Daisuke said scratching the kitten behind his ears gently. It stretched out at the contact and started to purr quietly.

"What's his name?" I asked joining in stroking its soft fur.

"I decided to call him Nelson."

"Are you allowed to keep Nelson here or do you have to give him back to your parents to take home."

"You can have a pet only if you're not in here for being really violent and if you are considered able to look after one." Danny answered gleefully.

"Nice ball of fur ya got there Danny boy."

We looked to the doorway Randy, M.D, Modoko and Tetsuya stood there smirking at us in an evil fashion. Daisuke jumped up growling while Danny grabbed Nelson and hugged him protectively.

"Fuck off." Daisuke spat out giving them his best death glare.

"Hey we aren't gonna do anything, just looking is all." Randy answered. "Ya wanna look after him real good Danny anything could happen to it here if ya don't keep an eye on it." Randy winked at us then sauntered off down the hall the others trailing after him like a pack of dogs. Daisuke was still glaring at where they were, Danny looked frightened and hugged Nelson closer and I got another nasty chill down my spine worse than the one before. I just knew something was going to happen soon and it wasn't going to be good...
