Author's Notes: DN Angel is not mine. Oh and sorry for not updating for awhile, I was really busy. Maybe I can't update every week but I'll try my best to. This chapter is extra long because I want to make up for updating so slowly so forgive me! This is 15 pages long so please be really happy!

Would you look at the chapter number! We're at seven, lucky seven! XD

Ah...and it's called "Blooming Love?"! Eeeks...aren't we excited? XP

Relationships Mixed Up

"Wow! That's beautiful! You mean to tell me you painted all these?" Riku asked amazed as she looked around the room. They were currently at Daisuke's house. He told her he wanted to show her some of his art and wanted her opinion on something.

Daisuke smiled as she looked at his paintings happily, "Yup. My aim is to go to an art school for college. I've joined a lot of contests on art and got many awards, I've won second and third places before but only once first. Principal Sakamoto told me we're going to join one on March, this time I really need to win."

"Ooh, so that's why you're asking for my opinion? Hmm...I think all of them look great though...I guess I'm not much help. Hey...that reminds me...are you the artist of that painting of a snowy scene? The one that keeps you thinking? Well...it kept me thinking," Riku said and then turned back to the arts.

"If you mean the one you saw on your first day here at school, yes. That painting got rejected though..." Daisuke frowned.

"You're kidding! But that was so well done...so what did you do with it?"

Daisuke shrugged, "I'm just going to leave it in the art room. It's not bothering anyone anyway."

"WHAT? What a waste! Can I have it instead? I really really like it and I'd be super happy if you gave it to me. I'll take good care of it, I promise!" Riku exclaimed.

Daisuke turned red, "Uh...sure...I'll give it to you on Monday when we go back to school." He was too happy, she actually liked his art. Maybe it wasn't such a sad thing that the judges rejected it in the first place after all.

As Riku continued to look at his other arts, he couldn't help but think back about the incident with the elevator so he decided to ask, "So...ahem...what happened when you were inside the elevator?"

"Eh?"-turns to look at him and then blushes-"Nothing..." Riku replied. Why is he asking me this? Is he worried? But...how can that even be possible and what am I thinking!

"But weren't you with Dark?" Daisuke continued to ask.

"I was and he told me stuff...umm...and we've also decided to be friends," Riku answered again. Why was he asking these questions? Was he...jealous?

"Stuff, huh?"-mumbles-"Friends..." Daisuke sighed. Dark truly knew what to do to win anyone.

(Next Scene)

"So...Dark...how are you?" Risa asked shyly. They were still walking home. From the restaurant to her house, it was about 20 blocks away. Dark told her they should ride the bus or taxi but she said walking would be fine. She wanted to spend more time with him because taking the bus or riding the taxi would be too fast.

Dark chuckled, "You asked me that already."

Risa blushed, "Oh..."

What they didn't notice was someone following them. The stranger was wearing sun glasses and a long gray coat with a matching hat. Wait...is that blonde hair he has?

He was about a block away from them. He took out his cell phone and made 2 calls.

What he didn't realize was Satoshi following him.

Suddenly Dark and Risa stopped walking because Dark received a call from someone. He didn't name that person to Risa though.

"I have to go; can you walk the rest of the way home by yourself? There are only a couple of blocks left," Dark said. He stuffed his phone back into his pocket.

Risa's smile turned into a frown, "Oh...alright. Fine, I'll see you tomorrow or Monday then..."

Dark gave her one of his charming smiles and then walked off the other way. After seeing his smile she thought she still had hope so she was back into a happy mood.

She turned to the corner for the short cut in the quiet pathway.

Here's my chance! I'll... Krad quickly took off his undercover clothes and threw them aside. He was about to turn the corner to where Risa was walking but Satoshi stopped him.

"Where are you going, Krad?" Satoshi asked. He walked in front of him, blocking his way to the pathway.

"Get out of my way, Satoshi," Krad said and gritted his teeth. He's wasting a lot of my time here...

"No, you've been up to a lot of things lately. Tell me..." Satoshi didn't get to finish his sentence because Krad's cell phone rang.

Krad looked annoyed and then answered the phone. After awhile of talking quietly aside from Satoshi, he cuts the phone. Satoshi didn't really get to hear what he said though, only parts.

"You're lucky this time. I'm going, ja!" with that he walked off.

Satoshi was about run after to him but a scream caused him to turn the corner. He ran to where he heard the scream, and was pretty sure who the person was.

There he saw a big man was holding a knife and threatening Risa to get down from...the building! She was holding onto a railing of the fire escape with her feet on air. How she managed to get up there was beyond Satoshi. She was about 2 stories high.

"Get down there, this minute!" the man screamed. He jumped a bit but couldn't get hold of Risa's leg.

"No! Do you think I'd be stupid enough to get down there and get hurt! Go away!" Risa screamed back. She was really scared but she was not going to let go of the railing. She was also afraid of heights.

When she saw Satoshi from below she screamed for him and told him to help her. The man looked surprised to see Satoshi too. He didn't back away though, seeing that he was probably no match for him.

He charged into him with his knife aiming straight at him. He was about 2 inches from getting that knife in Satoshi's chest but Satoshi got hold of his arm first. He knocked the knife out of his hand and then kicked him in the stomach.

"Oww! You'll...you'll regret this!" the man yelled. He quickly got up from the floor and ran away.

Satoshi looked up at Risa, "One question. How did you get up there?"

"I climbed up here. There was supposed to be a latter but the man took it away and so I had to grab onto something and it's this! So, please, can you get me down from here?" Risa asked. This time she didn't look like she was mad or angry but scared and worried.

Satoshi sighed and walked under her, (it was a good thing she wasn't wearing a skirt or a dress), "Jump."

"No! I can't jump, it's too high up. I might land on the floor...please...isn't there another way?" Risa sounded really desperate. She held on to the railing tightly but her arms were getting sore. It even began to hurt.

"I'll catch you, now jump," Satoshi said. He spread his arms out ready to catch her fall.

"No...I can't..."

"Just jump, I'll catch you."

"What if I miss and land on the floor?"

"You won't."

"I..."

"Trust me."

"Trust you?" she repeated. Her arms were really giving up and she felt like she really could trust him at a time like this...somehow.

So she lets go of the railing and fell right into his arms. Her heart raced the entire time because she was really scared of heights. But when she was caught by Satoshi, her heart raced even faster. They were so close.

"Are you okay?" he asked. His navy blue eyes were locked with her chocolate brown ones.

"Ye-yeah...uh...thanks," she said as he puts her down.

(Monday)

RING RING RING!

SLAM!

"Owww...my hand hurts..." Risa mumbled as she touched her aching right hand. Her eyes were still closed though.

"That's exactly why you should wake up now, don't you think, Risa?" Riku asked annoyed. She was standing near Risa's bed and was already dressed in her school uniform.

"No...let me sleep just a little more," Risa said and turned the other way so she wasn't facing her sister.

"Risa! Why are you always like that? Are you going to be late for breakfast again? You do know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right?" Riku said as she glared at Risa.

"Late again?" Risa whispered. That was when flashbacks of what happened the last time she was late to breakfast came back to her. She blushed, "No! I'm up!"

She quickly got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. Riku sighed and then started to fix the papers that were on her desk.

Then there was a knock on her door. Riku turned to see who it was and smiled when she saw Daisuke.

"Good morning!" she greeted and walked over to him.

"Good morning...I got my painting back from the art room so...do you still want it?" Daisuke asked as he showed her the painting he was holding, which she didn't notice before.

Riku's eyes light up when she looked at it, "Of course! Wow, thank you!"

He handed the painting to her and couldn't help but smile when he saw the expression on her face. Their moment didn't last too long because Risa came back in.

"Niwa-kun! Good morning..." Risa said when she saw him.

Daisuke looked at Risa and greeted her back. "Hey, I have to go, I'll see you guys later," Daisuke waved and then left the room.

Riku placed the painting near her bed, on top of the small table that was leaning against the wall. She stared at it again. It's so amazing...Niwa-kun...

Risa noticed Riku staring at the painting and smirked, "Hehe, so he gave it to you, huh? How sweet is something going on between you guys that I don't know of?" She giggled and folded the covers on her bed.

Riku blushed, "What! What gave you that idea?"

Risa laughed, "Oh, I don't know...you figure it out yourself. Come on, we should go down now. It's getting late." She pointed at the clock. They still had 15 minutes before first period starts.

When they left their room, they saw Dark leaving his too. Risa looked at Dark, her heart was still racing but somehow she didn't feel like she likes him so much anymore. He did, after all, leave her and then she was in danger. He wasn't the one who saved her, no, not him but...the one she least expected to help her, did.

(Performance Class)

"Good morning children! Today's Monday again. Don't we just love school? Well, at least this class? Today we will practice the play again!" Miss Love said from the stage. She was holding a microphone so everyone heard her.

Riku frowned, "Again? Don't we ever do anything else? We can't take a break from all this? I didn't really get to memorize much over the week..."

"Nope, Miss Love is always like that. When there's a competition, we practice everyday for it. Sorry, Riku, but you won't be able to rest for a long while," came Dark's reply.

It was still kind of strange for Riku to talk to Dark like this. She was so used to his other side so talking to him like this felt really strange but she didn't complain. He was better like this anyway.

"Anyway, Harada-san, Dark, please get on stage," Miss Love called. She waved to them to get their attentions.

Oooh, why are we first? Can't she just go on with the minor characters first? Why am I so unlucky? Riku frowned as she and Dark got on stage with their scripts in their hands.

"Good, now, let's start from scene 5, act 6, turn to that page please. I know, you guys didn't practice this part yet so you can read from the script. The actions, though, you must do," Miss Love instructed. She walked away from them and then told them to begin.

Riku scanned the script; it was a long scene so Miss Love was probably going to spend the whole period on it. That's just perfect...She looked at her lines and began to act it out.

(Meanwhile at lunch)

Risa was sitting with her new found friend at lunch, Masahiro. They met at science class which was the previous class.

"So that's why sensei is like that. Usually sensei is more reasonable but..." he went on and on about how come the science teacher was so cruel to them in class but Risa wasn't listening. She was thinking about something else.

"Harada-san? Are you okay?" Masahiro asked later. He noticed Risa not paying attention to him.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, just fine," Risa replied. She frowned as Masahiro continued to talk about the school.

Risa tried to listen to him; really she did, because she wanted to know more about the school but her mind kept going back to the incident that happened on Saturday. She tried to not think about it but it was almost impossible. She didn't tell anyone about it yet, not even Riku.

Her eyes slowly drifted away from Masahiro's face and looked at Satoshi. Happens so, he was a sitting on a table a few tables away from her and Masahiro. He was sitting alone. Hmm…I wonder if he's friends with Krad...where is Krad anyway? Risa looked around the lunch room but he was nowhere in sight.

"Hey…Masahiro?" Risa interrupted his speech about the teachers.

"Yeah?" came his reply.

"Is Hiwatari-kun always alone? Doesn't he have any friends?" Risa asked. She didn't know why she even bothered to know this about him but she did.

"Heh, Hiwatari prefers to be alone. He's always like that. You don't have to worry about him," Masahiro said while waving it off like it was nothing.

Risa frowned again but didn't ask anymore. She looked at Satoshi again. How can anyone survive without friends?

(Back to the play)

"Okay, you two are doing great, but, Harada-san, please practice a little more on the speeches. She's supposed to sound sweet but you're making her sound cruel in some parts. Okay, so, let's skip to kissing scene," Miss Love said while flipping through the pages of her script to find that part.

Most of the boys in the auditorium were either bored, sleeping or just reading the script as Riku and Dark were up there but when they heard Miss Love announce that, they turned their full attention to the stage.

Dark smirked, About time she said that!

Riku's eyes almost popped out of her head when she heard the Performance teacher say that. "Are you sure there's such a scene?" she asked nervously. She knew that was coming but didn't know it would be today that she would have to do something like that.

"Oh, I'm very sure, Harada-san, there are a total of…I think three kisses throughout this whole play. The first kiss takes place somewhere in the middle…second somewhere near the end…and last the end…yeah. Here it is! Go to scene 7 act 6 please," Miss Love told them.

Riku flipped to that page as soon as the teacher said it and she was correct. There was a kissing scene there. But…but…that would mean I'd have to lose my first kiss to Dark! It's not that he's a bad guy or anything…she looked at him…okay, maybe before Miss Love said this he was nice. I don't want to lose my first kiss to someone I don't like! Noooo!

Dark noticed that Riku wasn't at all too happy about the scene and sighed, "Miss Love, can't we do that another time?" Sure he wanted to kiss her but maybe not right now.

Miss Love cocked an eye brow, "Eh? Dark?" She looked at him as if telling him it was his perfect opportunity to get her to like him. Dark looked at her as if telling her that it wasn't time yet.

Riku was shocked that Dark would actually help her. Maybe he really did change. Maybe he wasn't all that bad after all…

"Oh, alright, fine, you're lucky this time, Harada-san but this scene will be acted out tomorrow so be prepared," Miss Love said with a frown. She was waiting for this scene for such a long time already (and she was not the only one).

Riku sighed with relief, "Thank you, Miss Love!" Not that one day of a difference would change anything…she looked at Dark and he gave her a smile.

When the bell rang, Dark caught up with Riku for lunch, which they both have as next period class.

"So you're not too happy about the play, huh?" Dark asked. He was walking behind her, heading for lunch.

"Oh and you just noticed," came her sarcastic reply.

Dark sighed quietly; Tomorrow will be a long day. Hmph, I still don't get why she's not attracted to me. With that thought in mind, it kept him thinking throughout lunch.

(English class with Risa)

The teacher told the students to get back with their partners and write a little more on the story. She decided to be nice since many of them didn't feel like doing it when they're out of class.

When the teacher to came Satoshi and Risa to check up on their story, Satoshi handed the teacher his. The teacher, thinking it was both their works together, looked through it.

"Ooh…this is interesting…but what happened to the original story?" the teacher asked. She handed the story back to Satoshi.

"Oh! We've decided not to use it. It was horrible anyway," Risa explained. She didn't even bother to take her story out.

Satoshi gave her a questioning look. In return, she just smiled.

"Ah…I see, well it's okay. The English grammar is very good…alright, keep it up, guys," the teacher said cheerfully and then moved on to the next pair.

Although Satoshi didn't know why Risa didn't give in her story, he didn't question her. He just looked through his story again.

Risa cleared her throat, "Ahem…aren't you going to ask me why I didn't hand in my story, Hiwatari-kun?"

"No," came his answer.

Risa glared at him, "Fine, I'll tell you anyway…"-takes a deep breath-"it's because I want to be your friend."

Hearing this, he stopped looking through his story and looked at her, "What?"

(That Night)

"Really? That's nice, I'm so glad you made that decision…but why all the sudden and is Hiwatari-kun okay with that?" Riku asked. Although she was doing her homework and Risa was lying on her own bed, she was listening to her twin's every word.

"No…he's not okay with it but I'm sure he'll come to a conclusion soon that I'd be a great friend," Risa explained. She smiled happily and proudly at herself. Then asked, "And how are you doing with your play?"

"Must you remind me of that? I have to do a kissing scene tomorrow, okay! I can't believe I'm going to lose my first kiss just like that!" Riku said madly. She continued to do her homework but kept making mistakes on her essay.

Risa gasped, "Your first kiss! I didn't even lose mine yet either! Wow…can't believe there would be a day in which you'd beat me to that. Wait…aren't you going to kiss…"

"Yes! I can't believe it, Risa, I'm going to lose my first kiss to him! Your first kiss is supposed to be shared with the person you love…I can't believe this," Riku said with a frown. She sighed and white-outs the word she wrote wrong on her essay for the fifth time. It was Miss Love's fault!

"You should be lucky, Riku! I'm so jealous of you. You don't know how many girls are dying to kiss Dark! Of course, I'm one of them but…yeah!" Risa exclaimed. Somehow she was no longer dying to kiss him anymore; sure she still wanted to get a kiss from Dark but not that desperately anymore. Why?

"Yeah, for you but not for me!"

"Of course because you like someone else, right?"

"No, I don't."

"What about Niwa-kun?"

"What about Niwa-kun?" Riku asked back. By now, she's totally given up on doing the homework. The white-out pen was going to run out soon if she keeps writing the kanji character wrong. I'll just do it tomorrow, no problem!

"I think you like him," Risa said simply. She beamed by her older twin sister.

Riku blushed, "What makes you think that?" She glanced at the painting he gave her earlier again.

"Oh, Riku, we're twins, I know things! Plus, it's so obvious!"-looks at the clock-"Oh! It's my turn to take a bath now, I think Dark's out," Risa said as she grabbed her clothes from the drawers and then left the room.

"Obvious? It is?" Riku asked quietly when her sister was gone.

(Next Morning)

Riku woke up nice and early to finish her homework. Since she didn't get anything done yesterday, she finished some in the morning but not all. I have to go to the library again…oooh…this is so bad…

She got up from her chair and walked out of her room. When she arrived at the library she went straight to the Japanese literature section. She found the right books and took it with her to a table.

Hmm…yeah these books should do…She closed them and was about to leave when she saw Daisuke entering it.

"Ah…good morning, Riku-san, you're here for Japanese class again?" Daisuke asked, he eyed the books she held.

"Uh-huh…" she mumbled and blushed remembering what Risa said. Was it really that obvious?

"I've finished mine, need help on yours?" Daisuke asked helpfully.

"No…no, it's okay. I need to finish it now so uh…yeah…" Riku said nervously. "Uh…I'll be going now, see you in class," with that, she hurried out the door leaving a confused Daisuke looking after her.

The principal, who was standing outside the library, heard the entire conversation. Hmm….

(Let's try the play again, shall we?)

"Nooo! I can't do it. It's too hard!" Riku yelled again. This was her fifth time saying that.

"Oh come on, Harada-san. Just do it, didn't I tell you to be prepared yesterday! Ooh…this is driving me insane!" Miss Love said while holding her head madly.

Dark was not complaining or helping Riku out with the scene. He never was expecting a kiss anyway. No matter how close they'd get to one, it'll always end up with her saying she couldn't do it.

Heh, maybe I should make my move! Yeah, that's a good idea! Dark thought.

"Harada-san, do you want me to force you to kiss him?" Miss Love said sinisterly with a fist up. She was getting impatient.

Riku, who was sitting on the chair next to Dark, leaned back as the teacher's fist came closer to her face. "Uh..uh…alright, alright, I'll do it!" she yelled. Having Miss Love force me to kiss him is even worst. Might as well just get it over with…

But I'm the one who's supposed to kiss him, not the other way around! It's like I'm making my move on him. It's just so strange! But…it's not like having it the other way around is any better…or is it? Waa…what am I thinking!

"Are you ready now, Harada-san?" Miss Love asked. She backed away from the center. When she received a nod from Riku, she told them to begin with the word "Action!"

Riku got into position, slowly and nervously. She had to put both of her arms around Dark's neck and then kiss him. The position was already hard so the kiss was extra hard.

Her heart raced as she moved her face closer to his. He was not supposed to move, she was supposed to do the moving in part but he couldn't help but move his face closer to hers as well. Just a little closer…they both thought. Before Dark could move, she moved first and that one move sealed his lips with hers.

RING!

Hearing that one bell, she leaped out of the chair and ran as fast as she could out the door after she got her books back.

Ooh...that was so embarrassing. I actually KISSED him! I can't believe this...now I have to avoid him for the rest of the day...that was my first kiss...but it felt...ahhh...that's it! I gotta do something else now...need to get it out of my mind!

"Harada-san! You call that a KISS? That wasn't long enough! Didn't I write at least 20 seconds on the script! You took only 2 seconds!" Miss Love screamed from the stage.

"Ahem...Miss Love? You didn't write how many seconds on the script," a student from behind her said.

"Huh? Oh...alright, I'll add that tomorrow, you hear me, Harada-san? At least TWENTY seconds!" Miss Love screamed again. Riku was already out so she didn't hear much of what the Performance teacher said.

She actually KISSED me. Dark was still shocked it actually happened. Heh, maybe she is attracted to me somehow. I do have a chance! At this, he smirked.

(That Night, have to skip some scenes)

"You…you actually kissed Da…!"-whispers when Riku told her to quiet down-"kissed Dark! Riku, I'm going to kill you for this! I thought you don't like him!" Risa said madly but in a quiet voice.

Riku turned red, "No! I don't like him, I can't believe this, this is all Miss Love's fault. If you want to blame someone, blame her!"

Risa could see that Riku wasn't happy with everything either so she sighed, "Fine, like you said, it's not your fault. I'll blame Miss Love for this, then. Hehe."

"Good…so how was your day?" Riku asked back.

"It was okay I guess…it's just that, I've tried a couple of times to get Hiwatari-kun to be my friend but…it's not really working…"-sighs-"But! That doesn't mean I'm going to give up, Riku. Tomorrow, just wait…he'll be my friend in no time!" Risa said proudly as she got in bed. It was already 11:25. Yeah, that's right and he won't have to be alone anymore…okay…that didn't sound right…

So with their problems in mind, the girls finally found sleep at 12:00.

(2:30)

"AHHH!"-sits right up on her bed-"Oh my God…that was a dream! What kind of dream was THAT?" Risa screamed. She looked at the clock, it was morning already.

"Arg…Risa, are you okay? What kind of dream did you have? A nightmare?" came her sister's fast but sleepy reply. Riku was still on her bed.

Risa blushed, "Uh…uh…nothing, nothing! Go back to sleep, Riku. It was nothing…I was just shocked…"

"Okay…good night…"

Risa closed her eyes but couldn't sleep. How can I sleep after that dream? What could I be thinking to dream something as bad as that? I dreamt that…that Hiwatari-kun asked if I wanted a kiss from him and…and I said yes but then…as I closed to my eyes, he didn't kiss me. He just handed me a chocolate…the chocolate kiss. Not the kiss I was expecting. Why did I even want a kiss from him anyway! It's gotta be Riku's speech about Dark that made me think that. Yeah! Because I was thinking of a way to make friends with Hiwatari-kun. Yeah…that's it.

I don't want a kiss from him. No way, images just somehow came together. Yeah…
