"Riku?" Diasuke was beginning to look hurt. He was standing still focused on her, waiting for an answer.

Oh God. What do I say? I want to tell him that I love him…and I want to be with him. I cant tell him that. I don't want to…but I have to lie. No im going to tell him the truth. Diasuke I love you. I love you. I want to be with you forever!

"No."

"No?" Diasuke repeated stunned by the answer. He stared at her with sadness growing in his eyes. He didn't want to hear that answer. He wasn't expecting that. He was unprepared. Now that she's said it he was hurting. Sorrow growing deep in his heart. Convincing himself that she made in error, that she did not mean to say no, he grew false hope.

"Yes Diasuke…no." Riku said softly. They stood in the middle of the street in silence. Staring at each other. Both pained by what was being said. Diasuke could do nothing but breath. Tears welled up in Riku's eyes, and she tried desperately to keep them from falling.

Whoa This pain in my chest…it…it hurts like hell. I cant believe it…she…she said no. She doesn't love me anymore. What am I going to do now? I don't think that I could live without her. Jesus…this hurts.

Diasuke looked down at the ground and forced out words. "Well…I'll never stop loving you Riku. I'll wait until you return my feelings, until you love me like you did …and if that means I have to wait forever…then damn it… I'll wait forever." He whispered to her. All of Riku's efforts to hold her tears back were in vain because after he said those words to her they rolled down her cheeks, and wouldn't stop falling. Diasuke began to walk. "Come on, lets go its getting late." Riku nodded and followed behind.

When the two of them reached the gate to Riku's house they stopped. Diasuke forced on a smile. "See you later Riku." He said and walked away. Riku opened the gate and walked to the door of her house. She wiped away her tears and opened the door. She passed Risa and slammed the door shut to her room.

She doesn't love me anymore Dark. I've waited too long to tell her, and now she doesn't love me.

: Well if she meant that she didn't love you anymore, then why was she crying?:

I don't know.

:Look Diasuke don't worry about. I know it hurts now, but it wont be like that for ever:

Yeah. Come on lets go we got…..work to do.

When Riku finished taking her shower and went down stairs, Risa was watching TV. She went and sat next to her. "What you watching?" she asked.

"The news."

"Since when do you watch the news?"

"Since they're talking about Dark."

"

Honestly Risa I don't know why you like that guy. He's a creepy pervert."

"Riku…im going to sneak out to the museum today. Dark's gonna be there. I don't want to go alone. Will you come with me?" Risa said blankly. She knew the chances of her sister saying yes were one in a million so she didn't get her hopes up.

"Yeah, I'll come."

"That's okay Riku ill ju-…what?"

"I'll go with you."

"Oh…alright."

Wow Riku wants to sneak out with me to see Dark? I wonder why. Doesn't matter I just want to see my beloved dark!

"….to go cause it's getting late? Risa?"

"What?"

"Did you hear me?"

"Nope."

"I said we should get ready to go because it's getting late."

"Oh! Yeah we should leave now Dark said he would be there and nine and its nine thirty." Risa said as she got up and put her coat and sweater on. Riku got up to and followed Risa to the door. "Aren't you going to get a jacket or something?" Risa asked Riku. Riku shook her head and walked out the door into the wind. "Riku! It's very windy outside and all you have on is a short sleeve shi-"

"What are you my mother?" Riku yelled at her sister. "Are you coming or not?" Risa shut the door and followed Riku down the street.

:DARK! SLOW DOWN!: Diasuke screamed from deep within Dark's mind. Now that Dark was in control of the body he was leaping off buildings carelessly, ignoring his host's screams for him to slow down. "Diasuke quit being such I wimp I know that you love the thrill of stealing just as much as I do. The only part I have to say I would hate is having to see that creepy bastard."

: Don't call him that!:

"Honestly I don't know why you like that kid."

: Mind you own business!:

"What you do with OUR body IS my business, but we'll talk about that later we're here." Dark said with a smile as he landed in a near by tree. "Now let's see what dear old Satoshi has in store for us." Dark scanned the area around the museum for and exit with no guards. "Ah-ha! I see a balcony that Satoshi failed to protect! Tsk Tsk Tsk…I think he's beginning to slack off Diasuke….Anyway enough of this, we have work to do. WIZ!" Dark shouted as he jumped out of the trees. Wiz caught him and flew over to the balcony where he dropped him off. "Look Diasuke I think it's best if you just go to sleep for a while. You're causing to many distractions and I must concentrate because you never know what kind of tricks that creepy bastard has up his sleeve." Dark said as he slowly waked down the staircase into the museum.

:Alright:

"Good. Now all I have to do is find what I came here for…"

"Riku it's dark in here…I don't think we should have come this way."

"Jeez, would you stop whining! If we didn't climb in the window how else were we going to get in?"

"I don't know?"

"That's right Risa, you don't know. Now come on we have to get into the exhibit where that creep is planning on taking the mask. I think it's through here." Riku whispered to her sister as she led them into a room. As they tiptoed into the room, Riku and Risa failed to see the floor lasers in the doorway. Riku stepped over them by luck, but Risa was not so fortunate. She tripped the laser and metal bars slammed down and locked into place, separating the two sisters. Riku, who was in the exhibit, turned around quickly to see what her sister had done. Risa screamed as the alarms sounded and tried to lift the bars.

"Risa, just run home!" Riku shouted at her sister. "Hurry up! I'll find a way out of here!" Risa reluctantly backed away and ran. Riku turned around to find Dark shaking his head at her.

"You know, braking in and entering is against the law." He said with a smirk. "How will you get out of this one?" He said as he walked over to the mask and took it out of its showcase.

"Can you help me get out of here?"

"I could."

"Well come on let's go."

"I said I could, I didn't say I would."

"Well will you?" Riku said pleading. She turned around quickly as she heard the sound of guards running down the hallways. "Please…"

"I guess I could be a Good Samaritan today." He said as he walked over to her and handed her the mask. "Put it on." He said with a smile. She looked at the mask then back at him.

"No way! I'm not putting that on!"

"Well suit yourself. Just so you know as soon as I get threw that window, there will be cameras everywhere. So if you want your picture in tomorrows newspap-"

"Alright!" Riku said as she snatched the mask and put it on. "Hurry up lets go!"

"Okay, I'm going." He said as he picked her up.

"What are you doing!" She screamed as she struggled to get free of his grasp.

"I'm trying to help you get out of here!" He screamed at her.

"Why are you picking me up then!"

"Because we're going to fly out."

"Fly!"

"Yes fly. How else did you think we were going to get out of here?" He said with a laugh. "Now, stop wriggling!" Riku stopped moving. "Thank you. WIZ!" He shouted. The black wings flew down and picked them up. Riku held her breath, squeezed her eyes shut and stayed perfectly still. Wiz carried them out of the window and into the sky. They flew through the sky in silence. Then suddenly Riku heard feet touch down and she opened her eyes. "Well, there you go." Dark said as he put her down.

"Where are we?"

"We're down the street from your house."

"Oh. Well I guess I should be going now." Riku said as she began to walk away. Dark reached forward and grabbed her arm tightly and pulled her towards him. "What the hell are you doing! I knew you where a pervert!" She screamed while she tried to get free.

"Relax!" Dark screamed at her. He let go over her and took the mask off her face. She started to blush.

"Oh."

"You know someone as beautiful as you really shouldn't be so mean." Riku blushed even harder because now his face was so close to hers. She started to see realize how good looking he was. Dark smiled, "You look even cuter when you blush Riku." He leaned closer to her and gently kissed her. To Riku's surprise she didn't try to fight him. She just stood there receiving his kiss. When he leaned back wings flapped and he flew away.

"Thanks." She said. She turned around to walk back home when she saw her sister standing in the street with tears in her eyes. Riku stopped dead in her tracks. "Risa…I-"

"I hate you Riku!" she screamed down the street as she ran away.
