"Daichi.....did you really skip 3rd period P.E. during the middle of the class?" Daisuke said with a cold tone.
"Weeeelll...I have a perfectly good explanation this time!!! See, I saw....er.....Kyouko! yeah, you know, that one hott girl in 2 of my classes? She made me transform while we were swimming....heheheh....was kinda in a tight spot until Wiz came through....buuut....then Wiz messed up by drowning in the pool, and I almost got caught by Rika while I was still Dark, and yeah, I made a distraction and made my get-away!"
Daisuke blinked once, then twice. Daichi looked at his father nervously. This really was the truth this time! [this time? xD;;] Daisuke better believe it! He mentioned Kyouko instead of Akira, because one, it'll be kinda...weird [Daichi, the lady killer, bi?!!], and two, what was this?!! A father and son kinda shway? Akira and Daichi, then Daisuke and Satoshi? Uh uh. If either of them got together with one of the Hikaris, it'll be weird for the other to go out with the remaining Hikari.
"You know Daichi....if I was any other normal parent, I would have smacked you across the head then sent you to a psychiatrist. But...since this scene sounds familiar.....er, never mind. Just forget it. You're off this time." Daisuke ended with a sigh.
Daichi threw his fists in the air in triumph. This was the first time his father actually believed in a story he told! Though....the difference between past stories and his one was, today's little story was actually true.
He laughed a little to himself sheepishly, he turned to go back up to his room [it was Saturday ] something nagged him at the back of his head.
"Ohhhh.....wait a minute...Dais--er--.......dad?" Daichi said stuttering, as if he hasn't said that word in a reaalllyyy long time.
"...........Yes, what is it?" Daisuke said after a second or two, recovering from the shock of being called dad on just casual terms.
"Ummm...why was Hikari-san here in the morning yesterday? And.....I haven't seen Riku-san around at all these days.....did something happen? Or...is she off to visit Risa-san?" Daichi asked slowly, as if afraid he was going into a sensitive topic.
Now that he knew his dad was...erm...gay....that meant he had no feelings for Riku-san....did she know all these years they were together? Daisuke lied to her....she would be pretty upset if he told her the truth....maybe he finally 'fessed up and she went away crying? [damn...pretty freakin' close o0;;]
"Actually, you're right Dai-chan. Where is Riku??? I thought she just left for the day to visit Risa....she usually comes back right after...." Towa- chan said worriedly.
Daisuke looked from Daichi, to Towa-chan, both of them having the same expression and question. He looked wearily between them, and sighed.
"Ahhh.......yes....you'd be the one to bring that up....wouldn't you, Daichi?" Daisuke said.
"Yeah......"
".....Well......you see...both of you....I don't think Riku-san will be coming back anymore...." Daisuke said, tugging at his shirt collar nervously.
"....Why???" Towa-chan asked quickly. Daichi didn't ask, because he knew why. Daisuke confessed!!!
"She...found out something about me that I didn't want her to know...and now...you two....will know....my stupid secret....you see....I'm--"
"Hey!!! Did you guys miss me??" A voice called out from behind them, shocking all three of them.
They all turned around, and their eyes laid on none other than Riku. She smiled brightly at them, and put down the suitcase she has been carrying with a dull thud. She looked at all three of them, looking at Daisuke the longest. He nervously returned the stare, and smiled sheepishly. She looked for a fraction of a second longer, then turned to Daichi.
"Hey Daichi honey, how were you while I was away? I just went to visit Risa for a while, you remember her, right? Well, I'm back now." Riku said as she started to take off her jacket.
Daichi and Daisuke stared at her dumbly. What the--? Wasn't she supposed to be upset? Or better yet...WASN'T she upset? Daisuke stuttered a bit, not knowing exactly what to say. Riku just gave him a look.
"Oh, come off it, Daisuke. Aren't you going to finish your sentence? What you were going to say? Look...I really AM upset....but....I'm just glad you and I divorced before you told me...or else I would have been devastated...." Riku said sadly.
"Look....Riku....I—" Daisuke started, but was cut off.
"Look...I told you, it's no biggie.....I knew something was up between you and Satoshi, the way you always blushed when I mentioned even the tiniest topic about him. I knew....but I was just in denial."
Daichi and Daisuke nodded silently, Daisuke looked down at Daichi. What was he nodding for? Did he even understand what was going on...? Towa-chan just stood there, very confused and having no idea what was going on.
"Well....uhh.....I'm glad you're not too upset anymore Riku...but....it's just...you're so...calm about it....what?" Daisuke said. He just had to make sure if Riku was REALLY alright with all of this. A long time ago, she was always one who held grudges and was stubborn until the end.
"Look Daisuke....maybe I just decided that it was time for me to grow up. And besides...I had a little chat with my sister....you know I always feel better when I chat with her, even though sometimes she's just a bit too....yeah..." Riku said with a small smile.
"Ah....oh...hey! Wait a minute, that means Saehara and Risa knows that I--"
"Yup, sorry, Daisuke. Heheheh....let's just say that's pay back for making me go through all that shit."
Daisuke stood stunned for a moment, then he finally returned the smile. They both held each other tightly, just to make sure that their friendship was still strong.
"Look...this really seems like a touching scene and all.....but....WHAT is going ON?" Towa-chan said loudly. Kosuke walked in sleepily, woken by the racket everyone was making.
"Yes....I'd like to know what's going on also....so that I can settle things down! No one can sleep with this racket, the neighbors will complain! I bet even Emiko can hear you all the way up there!!!"

::Ah....Daisuke FINALLY confessed....I'm pretty proud of Riku the most though. Did you know she used to be a very hot-headed pre-teen in her days?:: Dark said happily.
Daichi was sitting in his room, reading a manga while listening to his mp3 player. The discussion was still going on downstairs, but alot more quietly this time. Kosuke was making things better, as usual. Currently, he was having a mind-conversation with Dark. To anyone staring at him, it may have looked like Daichi was making funny faces and expressions at the manga book [one of many reasons why he takes manga with him to school, just in case he chatted with Dark. He couldn't help changing his face while having a conversation, inside thoughts or out.]
'Really? Riku...hot-headed? Wow....I never would have guessed it in Riku- san. Heheheh....then again, I never even dreamed of Daisuke being gay....' Daichi snorted.
::Yeah well, you know.....you can never judge a book by it's cover....heheheh...anyhow, let's go take a lookie at the Forbidden Love pendant thingy!!! It looked real pretty, heheheheh ::
'Gawd, how old are you again? You sound like a freakin' teenager....aren't you supposed to be, like, ancient?' Daichi thought with a grin on his face.
::Hey, I may be old, but my heart shall be eternally young!!!:: Dark said with mock evil laughter.
'Well, what could hurt...let's go check it out. I didn't get a good glance at it anyhow....' Daichi said wearily as he stood up.
He stood still for a moment, standing as if in shock or surprise. Dark looked at Daichi curiously.
::Eh? What wrong?::
'Uhhh....nothing. Just felt...something...uh, Dark? Last night, when you had the Forbidden Love....you...DID put it back down in the basement, right?'
::Uh....yeah? Weeeelll...then again, I only had one half of it. I left the other damn half at the museum, I think. That's why Daisuke is going off today to post the note about my great arrival tomorrow night :D::
'But...you put the other half in the basement, right? You didn't hold it, or wear it, or nothing?'
::Siiigh....YES Daichi, I put the other half down at the basement. Now WHAT is it?::
Daichi gulped a bit, and put his hands under his shirt. Dark looked on curiously. Then...Daichi pulled out a necklace that was around his neck.
It was the Forbidden Love.

"Hmmm.....interesting......."
Akira was standing in front of his room mirror, tugging at the Forbidden Love necklace that was around his neck. He started to turn the chain around and around, to see if there were any latches he can use to hook the necklace off his neck. There was none.
"Strange.....how did this get on my neck? The chain is far too small to have gone around my head....."
Indeed, the chain of the necklace was too small to fit through his head. It almost went through, but it was still too small. It actually looked very dashing on him, the gold of the chain glittering brightly against his pale skin. He fingered the pendant on the necklace a bit, the pendant that was shaped like a devil's wing.
"This must be part of the legend somehow....I remember the chain being much larger than this...." muttered Akira. He never got the chance to look up information about the Forbidden Love. He decided to do it right now, until...
"Akira, it's time for lunch! Akira? Are you up there?" Satoshi called from downstairs.
"H---Hai! I'll be right down!" Akira called while finally trying to tug the necklace off. He didn't really care if it broke or not anymore, as long as Satoshi doesn't see it on him, or else he'll know he's been at the museum!
'Come on.....get off already....' Akira growled as the back of his neck was starting to burn from the chain rubbing on it.
"Akira, the food is getting cold!! Do I have to go up there and get you??!!"
"A---No!!! I'll be right down! Gomen, gomen!!!" Akira said hastily. The situation was getting desperate.
He looked around the room to see if anything, ANYTHING, would help him. His eyes landed on a black collared sleeveless shirt his mother bought him a long time ago that he never wore, because sleeveless shirts weren't his style. He grimaced. Did it even fit him anymore? It has been over a year or so, and he has grown a lot since then......
"Akira!!!!"
"Hai, hai!!! I'm ready, I'm coming!!!"
Satoshi had chopsticks in his hands, and was getting ready to set them down on the table when he dropped them all on the floor at the sight of his son, which all clattered loudly against the tiled floor.
Akira looked extremely embarrassed, because Satoshi just gawked at him disbelievingly. Akira, HIS Akira, was wearing that black sleeveless collared t-shirt that he screamed to have it thrown away a long time ago?
Though, the shirt didn't look bad on him at all. The shirt was now far too small for Akira, the shirt was tight against his skin, and the shirt showed a bit of his hard stomach. Because it was sleeveless, it now showed Akira's slightly muscular yet feminine-like arms. The shirt went well with the casual slightly faded jeans Akira wore all the time when he was at home.
"Weelll....uhhhh.....what's the...occasion???" Satoshi finally managed to say.
"Errrr......ano.........................uhhh..."
".....Yessss???"
".....................thanks for the food dad! Itadakimasu."

::Whoa Daichi, what's the big idea? Why...why do YOU have the Forbidden Love pendant?!!::
'Uhh...I...I don't know! It was just around my neck...I felt the chain bump against my neck....how weird, why didn't I feel it earlier...?'
::...Strange indeed...well, take it off!!! It's supposed to be down in the basement along with the other stolen stuffish!::
'Yeah, I guess. But hey, this necklace looks kinda cool...' Daichi thought as he fingered the angel wing pendant. The silver chain glittered in the sunlight that shown through his window. Daichi shrugged, and started to turn it around to look for the hook to take the necklace off [sound familiar? xD] but he turned the necklace around a full 5 times, before noticing that....
"Hey...Dark....this necklace doesn't have a latch." Daichi grunted as he was trying to pull it off of him by putting it through his head.
::Hahaha.....your head is too big!!! It doesn't fit through!!!!!:: Dark laughed as he watched Daichi's struggles to try and take the necklace off.
"Baka hentai kaitou, this is serious!!! The necklace can't come off!! It's on me permanently, unless I break it!!!" Daichi hissed, now talking out loud.
::....Oh? Well...if you can't take it off...too bad, you're stuck. The Forbidden Love can't be broken, or else something really bad will happen. Don't you know you can't mess with Love? Heheheh::
"Seriously! This is no joking matter! Then....how the hell am I supposed to take this off?!!!" Daichi said, still trying to take off the necklace, this time more delicately.
::I'm not joking about something bad will happen, though! It was some sort of legend...I just can't remember the story...oh well. All you gotta do to take it off is get the other necklace back together with it, and fast, before the chain slowly gets smaller and smaller until it chokes you.::
"....Great, that was something I woulda loved to know....EARLIER!!! DAD!!!!!!!!!!"
Daisuke spit out his tea at the sudden roar of his son. He coughed a bit, and ran upstairs to Daichi's aid. Riku, Kosuke, and Towa-chan also heard, and they started to follow after him.
"What is it, Daichi?!!!!" Daisuke asked as he skidded to a halt in Daichi's room. The Niwa family found Daichi with a chain necklace wedged on his chin, as if he was trying to take it off. Daisuke took a closer look at the necklace, and gasped. It was the Forbidden Love?!! He saw Dark put it away the night before...!!!
"Daichi!!!! I told you not to play with the artifacts after you steal them!!! Some artifacts have curses and magical powers in them. Remember?!!" Towa-chan said, shaking her finger.
"First of all, you never told me to never play with the artifacts! Second, I didn't put this on on purpose! It was just on me. How the hell, I don't know!" Daichi yelled, causing the necklace to drop back down and fit snugly against Daichi's skin again. Towa-chan looked as if she was going to say more, but she was cut off by Kosuke.
"Daichi....who has the other half of the pendant?" He said in a calm, yet deadly-serious voice.
"Wh----what makes you think someone has it? What if we just accidentally dropped it on the floor of the museum?" Daichi asked, confused.
"The Forbidden Love never activates, until two people touch it at the same time......I guess....this calls for a story about the legend......" Kosuke said with a sigh. He gestured for all of the Niwas [and Towa] to sit down, and he coughed slightly.
"Well.....first off....the legend starts about two lovers......."
