Author's Note: I don't own DN Angel. LOL...do I have to say that every time?

Glad you all like the story so far, here's chapter 6! Woot!

Relationships Mixed Up

"I...I was...taking a walk...and what about you?" Daisuke asked back. He could only hope his voice didn't give away his lie. It was really too bad he was such a horrible liar sometimes.

"How come you don't seem like you're telling the truth? Well, anyway, I'm busy so I'll be going now," Krad said and then walked off.

Daisuke stood where he was for awhile, he was deep in thought. After awhile, he went straight into the restaurant.

(Back in the Elevator with Satoshi and Risa)

Silence.

Risa sighed for the 10th time in 5 minutes.

"Is half an hour up yet?" she asked, weakly to Satoshi. They were both sitting on the floor, opposite of each other.

Satoshi didn't even have to look at his watch to answer this question, "No."

Some more silence.

"Is it time yet?"

"I thought I just said no."

"How much time do we have left?"

"About 20 minutes," he replied.

"That long?" Risa asked quietly. She frowned and wondered where Riku was at the moment. Riku probably wasn't stuck on the elevator like she was anyway.

(So what exactly is Riku up to?)

"Since we're going to talk, why don't I ask you something first, why were you here? Also, why were you out of breath when you came in the elevator?" Riku asked. She was thinking back at what the principal told her and Risa before.

Dark took awhile to answer that question, "That's not really important."

"Yes, it is, tell me," Riku commanded. She glared at him through the dark.

"I was going to use the bathroom and I really needed to use it so I ran," came his fast reply.

"What a lie. If you were to make up something, you should've said something more believable. Who's going to believe you for running up to the 7th floor just to use the bathroom?" Riku pointed out. She shook her head sadly at him.

Oh...that's right...how can I forget? That was the 7th floor... "Uh-huh...you know, when I said 'talk', I didn't mean this kind of talking," Dark told her.

"Are you going to answer me or not?"

Dark sighed, "Okay, fine, I was running away from Satoshi. Happy? Can we talk about something else now?" He leaned against the elevator wall.

"No, why was Hiwatari-kun chasing you?" Riku asked some more. Maybe he really was the one...why else would Hiwatari-kun chase after him?

"Do I even have to tell you that part? What exactly will I get out of it?" Dark asked with a smirk on. "How about a..."

"No! If you come any closer, you're a dead man," Riku warned. God...why is he always like this?

(Is Risa having any luck?)

"What..." Risa was cut short.

"About 15 minutes," Satoshi replied.

Risa sighed, "What are you doing?" She looked at him but couldn't really see anything since it was pitch black.

"I'm not doing anything," came his annoyed reply.

"Then why am I hearing sounds?" Risa continued to ask. The "squeak" became louder.

"I don't know because I don't hear anything," Satoshi answered.

"That's just..." Risa didn't get to finish her sentence because she felt something soft against her skin. Her eyes went wide as she looked down at what touched her. She couldn't see it whole since it was dark but...did she just feel it's...tail!

"AHHHHHH!" Risa screamed. She jumed up from the ground and ran next to Satoshi.

"What?" Satoshi asked confused. He also stood up.

Risa grabbed hold of his arm and pointed at the place she sat on before, "There's a rat in here! I can't stand rats! Get rid of it, please!"

"Are you sure you're not imagining things?" Satoshi asked. His question was answered when more "squeaks" were heard.

(Back to Dark and Riku)

Silence.

They've finally decided to stop talking about why Dark was there and silence filled the air.

"Hmmm...I thought you said we'd talk about something..." Riku started. She looked at her watch. Oh, great! I can't see it because it's too dark.

"Oh...yeah! So...why don't you tell me about yourself?" Dark asked. Usually he'd have a lot to say but somehow right now, he didn't.

"There's nothing interesting about me," Riku said sadly.

"I'm sure you have an interesting life. Let's waste some time and speak up, girl!" Dark said cheerfully. Maybe he could get somewhere when the conversation starts.

"Well...um...no...I really have a boring life. Why don't you tell me about yours? Is your parents doing okay?" Riku changed the subject. Yes, she was that bored, that's why she wanted to make a conversation too.

"My father's good," he replied with a shrug.

Riku cocked an eye brow, "And your mother?"

At this, Dark took a while to answer back, "She passed away."

Riku frowned, "I'm sorry. I didn't know..."

"Nah...it's okay...it was a long time ago. Since we're going to share something...why don't I tell you how she passed away..." Dark managed to smirk. But deep down, it still hurts.

"No! Don't, don't share it with me. It's personal, I know. We're not even that close, don't share things like this..." she was cut short.

"I want to tell you."

That shocked Riku big time. Why would he want to tell her things like these? Does he really trust her? But...they don't even know each other that well yet!

"She died of cancer when I was eight. It was the day of my basketball competition. Heh, I already liked sports when I was young and it was my mother's dream to see me win a metal. I've been in a couple of competitions before and never won anything but on that day, I was sure I'd win.

"I told my mother to wait for me at home that day so I could show her my trophy. She was too sick to get out of bed. She nodded and smiled weakly at me. She told me she wouldn't be going anywhere till I win that metal. I made her promise that too and of course, she promised.

"So with that promise in mind, I ran out the door and happily won the game for my mom. When I got back home with the metal in my hand and I grinned proudly and went straight to my mother's room.

"She laid there with her eyes closed so I thought she was only sleeping. I called out to her and shook her a bit but she wouldn't wake up. As the clock struck 6:00, I realized that she was no longer there in bed. She was already gone...she didn't keep her promise with me.

"I was really mad and sad at first but as time went by, I got over it and the memories of her remained in my heart. Every time I win a metal though, I'd run to the place where she was buried and look at her tombstone to show her the metal. I'd tell her that the reason why I won was because she was looking after me in heaven. Then...when I look at the sky, I'd see her smiling face and the wind would always tell me that she said...'You did really well my son. I'm so proud of you'.

"I've realized my mother never broke that promise to me. She really did see me win the metal and got front row seats too...it's just that she didn't look from in front but from above," Dark concluded.

By the time he finished the story, Riku was trying hard to blink back her tears, "Oh...I'm sorry about that...but yes, I'm very sure your mother is still cheering you on in all you'll do in the future and now. You know, I'm really glad you think that way of your mother and don't blame her on anything. I think...I think I'm starting to think differently about you. You're a really nice guy."

(Let's get out of the somber place and into the rats zone, shall we?)

"Oh my God! Where did they come from? Why are there so many?" Risa screamed. She was in the corner of the elevator and was not touched by rats because Satoshi stood in front of her.

Satoshi bent down to pick a "rat" up. Risa noticed that and yelled, "What are you doing, Hiwatari-kun? Don't pick it up! It'll spread disease! Call the police already!"

"Hmm...as I suspected these are fake," Satoshi said. He touched the body and realized it was made of metal.

"Yeah right! Put it down and don't put it near me!" Risa screamed again.

Satoshi walked to the other side of the elevator to check up on the mechanical rats. Who would do this?

"Hi-Hiwatari-kun! Where are you going? I'm scared of rats!" Risa shrieked. She backed up some more so the "rats" wouldn't touch her.

"I've already told you, those are fake," Satoshi said as he picked up another fake rat.

"Ooh, they seem real enough to me!" Risa yelled again. Her eyes went wide when she felt the mechanical rat touch her foot.

"AHHHHH! HELP ME! PLEASE!" she called for his help again. She shook her foot so the rat landed on the floor with a light "thud". Could her day get any worst?

Satoshi sighed and walked back over to her, "Okay, take a look at this, it's fake, do you see it?" He only knew where to walk back to by her voice.

"I hope you're not holding it in front of my face. It's too dark to see anyway," Risa said madly.

After she said that, the light went back on and the elevator started to go down again.

"It's about time," Satoshi said. He was still holding the fake rat in front of Risa.

"Tell me...AHHH!"-pushes his hands away and the rat falls on the floor with a light 'thud' again-"I told you not to..." Risa looked at the rats again and realized what Satoshi said was true. They were fake.

(Dark and Riku)

The lights went back on there too along with the elevator.

"Oh, it's about time! How long has it been..."-looks at her watch-"an hour already!" Riku exclaimed. She sighed sadly.

Dark chuckled at her reaction, "Uh-huh...time flies when you're with me, aren't I just amazing?" He got up from the ground.

Riku sneered, "Yeah right!" She also got up from the ground.

"Riku, let's start over, let's be friends," Dark said after awhile. They were now passing third floor.

Riku was taken aback from that suggestion but since he trusts her with his mother then why not? "Okay, fine, let's be fri-friends." Still the word "friends" can't really come out since it's so strange that they could after this incident.

DING!

The doors opened and they saw their teachers looking at them with a worried face on. (And so they thought they were worried anyway) They got out the exact same time Satoshi and Risa got out.

When the twins noticed they were both stuck they were shocked but after a few explanations they were fine. They turned to the teachers and asked them if they helped.

"Oh! Of course we did! As soon as we heard the elevators stopped, we rushed to the control room and asked them to hurry up and fix it but they said not till half an hour later!" the principal explained. She was hiding something but her good acting skills helped her win their understandings.

"I need to complain to the people here, there are fake rats in the elevator!" Risa said later. The elevator door closed already though and so she couldn't prove it.

That made the gym teacher start to get nervous, "I'm sure you were only imagining things, Harada! No way would there be fake rats in there, no way! Hehe." The other teachers glared at the gym teacher.

"Well I guess all's well now so we'll be going, sayonara!" with that last statement from the principal, the teachers ran out the door.

When the teachers were gone, Daisuke came running to them. "Are-are you guys okay? I've heard the elevator stopped so I ran straight to the control room to tell them. At first they said something about not time yet but then I told them to hurry and they fixed it," he explained.

"But Principal Sakamoto just said that she told..." Riku frowned as Dark interrupts.

"She probably did tell and they said it wasn't time yet because they weren't done with the fixing," Dark told them. He knew exactly what the teachers were up to, they probably did go to the control room but only to buy time so they'd get out later.

Satoshi sighed and walked out of the building. Risa took the chance to ask Dark to walk with her (he wanted to decline but went anyway) home. That left only Daisuke and Riku.

"Ooh...Risa's always like that, she left me for Dark," Riku frowned.

Daisuke smiled, "Riku-san, are you busy right now? I want your opinion on something."

Riku blinked, "Hmm?"
