Thanks for all the reviews. Hope u like the third chapter. I wish I own D N Angel… sniff… Chapter 3 – Reunion

During break, Satoshi as usual, sat at a bench in the courtyard away from the school building. It was a secluded area that he often frequent, a place where he could get some peace from the rest of the school crowd (especially from his fan girls). He took out his sandwiches and began to eat while reading his book. As he was starting his third page, he heard a loud voice. Looking up, he saw Takeshi showing Mizuki around the school.

"This is part of the courtyard. Up in the front is the school building and on the right is the field, Mizuki-san," Takeshi said.

"Thanks a lot for taking me around the school. You're such a nice person," Mizuki replied.

Takeshi's face went red, "it is my responsibility to show my girlfriend around the school. I would not be doping my duty if I didn't."

"Girlfriend?"

"Ah…" Takeshi cleared his voice. "I mean girlfriend as in a friend which is a girl… you know…" arrows pointing at his head. LIAR "Come, let me bring you to other places," he said as he guided her somewhere.

Mizuki was about to leave when she noticed someone reading a book at the bench behind the tree, "Saehara-san, isn't that one of or classmates? The blue hair guy reading the book?"

"Yup. That's Hiwatari Satoshi, the smartest guy in our class or maybe the whole school," came the reply.

"Hi…Hiwatari Satoshi? Are you sure?" asked the shocked Mizuki. No wonder he looks so familiar, she thought. I wasn't sure it was him but now I'm sure…

"Yes, that's him. Why?"

Mizuki kept quiet. She took a deep breath and began walking towards Satoshi while a puzzled Takeshi followed at her heels. Mizuki stopped at the bench and said, "Hiwatari Satoshi?"

Satoshi looked up coolly, "yes?"

A look of happiness filled Mizuki's face, like someone who has found a treasure. "Satoshi-kun!" she exclaimed and hugged him. "I never thought I would EVER see you again, Satoshi-kun!"

Surprised and shocked, both his hands automatically grabbed her on the shoulder and pushed her roughly away. "Who are you?" he asked in a dangerously low tone while giving her one of him best glares.

Now, it was Mizuki's turn to get shocked. "Eh? You…you can't remember me? I'm Mizuki… We were friends when we were only three. Then I had to move and I never heard from you again… Remember, Satoshi-kun?"

Realization dawned on Satoshi. He remembered the dreams he had been having lately. "Don't tell me… You are… the girl with the triple ponytail. The one who became friends with me when your parents came to talk to my parents." Satoshi paused. He looked at her straight in the eyes and said suspiciously, "how do I know you are who you claim to be?"

Mizuki just smiled and raised her right hand. A small tinkering of bells was heard. Satoshi's gaze left her eyes and fell on the items she was wearing on her hand. There was a bracelet there. It decorated with small bells, which rang softly every time there was movement. The string that was the core of the bracelet was all black except for a line in the center that was golden. In the middle of the bracelet, there was a pair of white wings.

Satoshi gasped inwardly as he recognized the bracelet. "That is… You are… her!"

"You remember! You actually remembered!" Mizuki said excitedly. "I'm so glad to be able to see you again! I missed you so much, Satoshi-kun!" Mizuki cried and hugged him again.

Satoshi was stunned. It had never crossed his mind that his long lost childhood friend who he had been dreaming about lately would actually appear in front of him. Satoshi was glad, for the first time in years, that he had a friend he could trust. Suddenly, Krad's face flashed across his mind. Quickly, he pried Mizuki away from him and shut off all his emotions. He was a Hikari, that was what Hikari's are supposed to do.

Takeshi, shocked at seeing this "little" exchange, asked Mizuki, "you know Hiwatari?"

Mizuki flashed a grin at him, "of course I do. He's a childhood friend of mine."

"I see…" Takeshi looked downcast. "I think we should go else where now. I should show you our gym. Come on… It's this way."

"Saehara-san, domo arigato for showing me around. I really appreaciate what you did for me… but I think that I'll be alright now. I don't want to trouble you anymore."

"It's no trouble at all, Hayasake-san." Try as he might, Takeshi could not persuade Mizuki to follow him any longer. Disappointed, he left. Pity… Takeshi thought, I wanted Hayasake-san to be my girlfriend… Then again… maybe I still can! I'll keep on trying. After my darling Mio left, it's time to try again.
