The next chapter's up! I want to thank all my reviewers! Here are some comments and replies back to you:

SilverMagic- You're my first reviewer! Congrats! Thank you! Yeah, I only watch the episodes on TV. Plus, I've only seen four episodes. I've never read the mangas and I don't intend to. You're going to have to bear with me. Thanks!

Shells- Um… I guess Risa. Dark likes Risa, at the moment. But this is a Riku/Dark story so you can guess what's coming.

Blackberry-chan- Yes, of-course it's going to be Riku/Dark! The beginning will be kind of Riku/Daisuke, but it's Riku/Dark. And yeah, I know it's "Niwa" not "Newa".I changed it. And about the Ms. Harada thing… I'm going on what I've seen in the shows. I don't read the mangas and I don't think I ever will. In the shows, he says Ms. Harada and I guess in the mangas he calls them by their first names or Harada-chan. Well, I've only seen the shows, four episodes to be exact, but you're gonna have to bear with me, okay? Thanks! (Did I sound rude? Sorry…)

Lady Lithe- Thank you, and I know I spelled his last name wrong. I changed it

arandomreader- Yeah… poor Riku. Don't worry, things are looking up for her! Btw, I've finished the story. I'll only put up a chapter if I get lots of reviews!

scatter plot- another Riku/Dark fan… I'm so happy! They're the best. If you don't want to wait for a long time, please continue reviewing!

Angel Dream Aino- Don't worry! Riku and Dark is coming up soon!

xkuroxshinobix- I will! Here's the next chapter.

Anyway, thanks to all of you. Here's the next chapter!

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Chapter 2: Separated

Riku walked around the park. She wondered about Risa and Niwa. Niwa liked Risa, alright, but did she like him back? But what about me? Who do I like? Is it Niwa? Riku asked herself. She sighed. She couldn't like Niwa. Niwa and Risa would make the best couple and they were perfect for each other. She didn't want to interfere. But Risa is so interested in Dark! Riku thought. Though she disapproved of her going out with Dark, Risa did it anyway. What does she see in him? Riku asked herself.

"Stupid Dark! That pervert is ruining everything!" Riku yelled as she kicked at the ground. "Niwa is way cooler than him at least. How can she like him, but not Niwa? First of all, Dark is a thief! But good Niwa would never do anything like that! He's so nice. He'll do anything for anyone." Riku said. She blushed. No… he'll do anything for Risa. Riku sat down on a park swing. She swung back and forth slowly.

"He's the perfect guy for any girl! She's lucky he likes her! She shouldn't take his love for granted! I would be so happy if liked me that way." Riku said. She gasped and clasped her hand on her mouth.

"No, no, no! He likes Risa. I can't like him. But… even if I do, it's pointless. Sooner or later, Risa will fall in love with him too and they'll be together. I have to get over him." Riku said to herself. She sighed. After all she had just said and thought about him, how could she?

HHHHH

Ding! Dong! The doorbell rang.

"I'm coming!" Daisuke yelled as he ran to open the door. It was Risa of course.

"Hey, Niwa! I'm here! Sorry I'm late." Risa said cheerfully. Daisuke blushed.

"Hi, Ms. Harada. Oh, it's no problem. Come in! Dinner is almost ready!" Daisuke said. He showed Risa the way in and led her to the dining room where he set out two place mats, plates, and sets of eating utensils. Risa sat down in one chair. She smelled the delicious smell of Daisuke's cooking.

"Wow! That smells great, Niwa!" Risa said. Daisuke blushed.

"Uh, thank you. I'll go check if it's ready. I'll be right back." Daisuke said as he went to the kitchen. He brought all the food to the dining room and set it on the table. Then, he took off his apron and sat down to eat.

"Wow! This looks delicious!" Risa said.

"Thanks. Well, let's eat!" Niwa said. He served the food and they began to eat.

"This is so good! You have to teach me how to make this sometime." Risa complimented.

"Thank you and, uh, sure." Daisuke said, blushing. They ate happily.

"Thank you so much for making me all of this. You must have worked so hard!" Risa said, thanking him.

"No problem."

"No, this is really great. You're the best friend a girl could ask for." Risa said.

"Um, thanks." Daisuke said, a little disappointed that she used the word 'friend'. Man, I was sure this dinner would pull me into a rank higher than 'best friend'! Daisuke thought. 'You mean like the rank I'm in?' Dark asked from inside Dai's head.

"Shut up!" Daisuke yelled aloud by accident as he banged the table and stood up.

"What? What did I say?" Risa asked. Daisuke blushed and shook his head.

"No, it's nothing. Sorry." Daisuke said. He sat back down. 'Ha, ha, ha!' Dark laughed. 'Be quiet!' Daisuke yelled inside his mind.

"Uh, so Ms. Harada, how have you been doing lately?" Daisuke asked, simply trying to get rid of the awkward silence.

"Well, I've been fine, but Riku's been acting so strange. You were right about before, when she just had to go home quickly, but still." Risa explained.

"I know. She's been really out of it lately. I was really surprised. When I came to school, I was really late and when I saw Ms. Harada just sitting outside… it was weird." Daisuke explained.

"She was just sitting there? I wonder what she was thinking about. It must have been something very important if she forgot to come to class." Risa pointed out.

"Yeah…" Daisuke replied. Maybe she was thinking about what I told her… Daisuke thought.

"Niwa?" Risa asked.

"Hm?"

"What are you thinking about so much?" Risa asked.

"Oh, it's nothing."

"Well, okay…"

HHHHH

Meanwhile, Riku was still sitting on the park swing. She was thinking that maybe if she helped Daisuke get Risa to like him, she could get over him. But… it seemed too hard. How was she supposed to help the guy she liked to get her sister to like him? Especially since she liked some phantom thief!

"Why couldn't he like me? It would be so much easier! Risa could have her Dark guy and I could…" Riku stopped. "…have Niwa to myself." She said quietly.

"Why? Why does he have to like Risa? What does she have that I don't? She's my little twin sister! I'm just the older, more mature version of her. How could he like her over me?" Riku asked herself. Risa was such a brat. She got everything she wanted. She had her older sister's crush falling for her. Is she that much better than me? Riku asked herself.

"Maybe if I got Risa to like Dark more… they would be girlfriend and boyfriend even! Then, after Niwa realizes that Risa likes some one else, he'll start to like me!" Riku said. No… She couldn't just let her sister go out with a phantom thief. It wouldn't be right.

"I'm being selfish." Riku said to herself. She stood up and began to walk back to her house. I have to let it be. I have to just let it happen the way it happens. Riku thought. She walked into her house.

"Risa, I'm back!" Riku yelled. She walked into the kitchen and found a note on the table.

It was getting late so I had to leave. Sorry I couldn't wait for you!

Risa

P.S. Oh, and I'll be back around eight, okay?

Riku rolled her eyes. She threw away the note and went up to her room. She sat down on her bed.

"I have to talk someone. But who? I'm not close enough to anyone on the track team. No one else at school would understand. There's no way I'm talking to Risa. I can't talk to Daisuke. Then who?" Riku asked herself. She couldn't think of anyone else. Suddenly, her stomach growled. She looked at the clock.

"It's getting late. I should eat." She said to herself. She went downstairs and looked around for something good to eat, but she didn't find much.

"Don't we have anything I can just heat up? I don't feel like cooking!" Riku yelled. Finally, she found some ramen. This'll have to do. She thought. She quickly prepared the ramen and ate.

"This is so unfair. Risa is happily eating a huge delicious meal, cooked by Niwa, and I'm sitting here eating ramen! How unfair…" Riku mumbled. No… it's just that I'm too lazy to cook. She's eating happily because Niwa cooked for her. Riku thought. She sighed.

HHHHH

"That was delicious!" Risa said as she finished eating. "Thank you so much, Niwa! You the greatest!"

"No problem, really." Daisuke said, blushing. Risa looked at the clock.

"It's getting kind of late. I told Riku I'd be home by eight. And I want to stop by the grocery store on my way home. We're almost completely out of food!" (Ha, ha, ha… so she knew Riku would be sitting at home with no dinner… nice.) Risa said.

"Okay, so I guess you should go now, then." Daisuke said as he brought some plates to the kitchen.

"Yeah, sorry can't stay and help you clean up." Risa said.

"Oh, no problem! Um, well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Daisuke said as he led Risa to the door.

"Sure. Well, I have to go. Bye!" Risa said as she left.

"Bye." Daisuke said as he shut the door. "Wow! That went pretty well!" he said to himself. He quickly cleaned up and did the dishes. Then, he went to go find his mom and Grandpa. He found them downstairs in that weird ritual room.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Hm? Oh, Daisuke!" Grandpa said.

"All done with you dinner with your Sacred Maiden?" his mom asked.

"Oh, mom! Will you leave me alone? Anyway, what are you doing?" Daisuke asked.

"You know that statue you stole for us? Well, there were some old ancient potions in it. Cool, right?" she asked.

"What kind of potions are they?" Daisuke asked as he examined the potion bottles.

"That's what we're trying to figure out." Grandpa said.

"Oh." Daisuke said as he looked closer at the bottles. 'Let me have a look at them!' Dark demanded.

"No way! You just want to get out!" Daisuke yelled back at him.

"Dark talking to you again?" his mom asked.

"Yeah."

"Just let him out. Maybe he'll recognize the bottles." Grandpa said.

"No! I don't want – ah!" Daisuke yelled as he, being the clumsy guy he is, tripped over and fell. The potions fell and the bottles broke and all of it fell on Daisuke. A thick smoke broke out.

"Daisuke!" His mom and Grandpa yelled.

HHHHH

"Riku, I'm home!" Risa yelled as she put down all the groceries. Riku came down from her room and sat down on a chair. She had an angry expression.

"Hey, Risa. Finally went grocery shopping?" Riku asked angrily.

"What? Oh! I'm so sorry! I forgot! Did you eat anything?" Risa asked.

"Yeah, I found some ramen."

"Here, I'll cook you something to eat." Risa said as she put away the groceries. Riku raised an eyebrow. Risa knew exactly what she was thinking.. She glared at her.

"Don't even say it. I'll make it good this time, I promise!"

"Sure, whatever." Riku replied. Risa smiled as sheheated up the stove and began to cook. Riku sighed.

"Sorry I've been acting really weird, Risa. It's just that… lots of things have been happening and… you know. So sor—" Riku was interrupted.

"Oh my gosh! I forgot! I was supposed to meet Dark tonight! I have to go now!" Risa yelled as she grabbed her coat and left.

"Hey, wait! I was talking to you! And what about my meal, you heartless sister!" Riku yelled. Oh forget it!Wouldn't have been any good anyway!She thought. She went to turn of the stove, then left.

HHHHH

"Are you alright?" Daisuke's mom asked as she blew away some of the smoke.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Said a voice that didn't belong to Daisuke.

"Daisuke?" Grandpa asked. He cleared away the rest of the smoke with a fan. Once cleared, the two's eyes widened. Their jaws dropped. Daisuke scratched head. He brushed himself off, and then turned around.

And there was Dark.

"Ah!" Daisuke yelled.

"They've been separated." Grandpa said in astonishment.

"How can this be?" Daisuke asked. Dark looked at his hands, then at Daisuke.

"I'm out of here!" Dark yelled as his wings appeared on his back. (Let's pretend With, Wiz, Wish… whatever it's called isn't Dark's wings. It won't work. His wings appear and disappear whenever he likes.) He flew up.

"Hey, wait! You can't just leave!" Daisuke yelled.

"I'll be back later!" he yelled back. He flew out a window and away. Daisuke sighed and turned back to the adults.

"Now what?" he asked.

"Is there anything we can do?" His mom asked.

"I don't know. We'll have to figure out a way to put you two back together!" Grandpa said.

"Okay…"

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hm… what do you think? How was it? A little weird…whatever! Review please!
