I'm back! It's been ages again, hasn't it? Sorry. But I had a little writer's block on what to write next. I should be Ok now, though.

Dark: You'll just say that again next time you update.

Yuri: Yeah.

KK: …No I won't.

Dark: Oh sure you won't now.

Yuri: Just because we've told you.

KK: That's not it!

Dark and Yuri: (exchange glances) Yeah… right…

Disclaimer: Anything to do with DNAngel belongs to Yukiru Sugisaki. Not to me. But Yuri and Miki do, and so do the Blade Slashers and Kurosan! Yay!

Reviewer thanks are at the bottom again. Now, here's Chapter 11!



Forgotten

Chapter 11

Plans

Yuri opened her eyes. The sun was already shining into the room. Yuri yawned lazily, and looked around. "Wait a minute… Daisuke's room? What am I doing here?" She put a hand to her head. "The last thing I remember… is… Dark was fighting that blonde guy, Krad!"

All the scenes from the night before rushed into Yuri's head. She searched the room for a sign of Dark, but her eyes landed on Daisuke. He was still asleep, lying on the mattress by the bed.

Swinging her legs out from under the duvet, Yuri crouched by him. "Daisuke, are you Ok?"

Daisuke's eyes fluttered, and he mumbled, "Huh…?"

Yuri grabbed his hand, ignoring the aching that Daisuke was feeling. "Wake up!"

His red eyes suddenly opened wide. He pushed himself up with his other hand. "What's going… …Yuri?"

Yuri dropped the hand. "You're Ok? What about that Krad guy?"

"Oh… um… I guess he went home. Are you alright, Yuri? You fainted again."

Yuri blinked. "I did? Oh… oh yeah… but… I'm glad you're Ok!" Her face lit up with a smile, and without warning she lent forward and hugged him.

Daisuke blushed scarlet. At least Dark isn't awake, a small part of him thought. He pushed the girl away. "Yeah, well, I've gone through worse things than that…"

"They're up!"

Daisuke and Yuri flashed their heads around to the doorway. There stood Emiko, beaming as usual. "M-Mom?" Daisuke said in surprise.

"I was so scared that you'd never wake up!" Emiko cried, and ran forward and hugged her son tight.

How many hugs am I gonna get? Daisuke thought with a sigh. "Mom… I'm alright…" he managed to say. Yuri sat still, watching and smiling happily.

"You're Ok too, Yuri?" asked Emiko. When Yuri nodded, she continued, "Well, I bet you two are starving, so we'd better get you some breakfast." She let go of Daisuke and straightened. After a moment, the two teenagers stood up as well.

"A step ahead of you, Ms Emiko!" came To-To's cheery voice from the door.


"No way are you using one of my bags!"

"But Risa…" Miki said, sighing. "You have so many…!"

The two girls were standing in the middle of Risa's large bedroom. Miki, having nothing but the clothes she had worn the night before, needed a bag to put her lunch in. Risa folded her arms. "They're all special to me," she argued. "This one here I got from my first friend and that one I bought at a sale. The one with beads on is from a store at the other side of Tokyo, and that one over there…"

Miki stared helplessly. "But Risa, they're just bags…"

"You won't get any from her," Riku said from the entrance. "You can use one of mine."

"Thank you so much, Riku! Thank you! Thank you!" Miki skipped away to choose one from Riku's room.

Risa turned from the red bag she was describing. "Huh? Why didn't she ask me?"

"It doesn't matter," said Riku, leaving the brightly decorated, pink room. "I just hope Yuri's alive, and that Dark didn't do anything."

"He would so not do anything to Yuri!" Risa shouted back as Riku left. "He just wouldn't!"

Riku rolled her eyes. "Just keep telling yourself that…"


Yuri munched on her cereal as she watched the TV news. The reporter was commenting on what once was Miki's apartment. "It seems that there was some sort of battle in this building," said the reporter, flicking back her brown hair. "The windows have all been smashed, and the doors broken down. It's a wonder that nobody noticed until this morning."

That's true, Yuri thought. Nobody did notice. Weird.

"Ready for school, Yuri?" Emiko asked her as she entered the kitchen carrying a brush. She softly combed Yuri's now shorter hair. "Ack, we really need to get this cut… we can put it in a ponytail for now…"

Yuri put her spoon into the empty bowl. She waited until Emiko had finished fixing her hair, and stood from the table. Daisuke was already in the hall. Grabbing a coat each, the two of them left.

On the way they met up with Miki and the Harada twins. Risa walked next to Yuri. "So… did you study for the maths quiz?"

"Maths quiz? What maths quiz?" Yuri cried. "Of course I didn't study! Oh, what am I going to do?"

"We were told to study ages ago, you probably weren't even there," Riku reassured her, glaring at her younger sister. "You'll be Ok. They can't expect too much from you."

"Yeah, but still…" Yuri said doubtfully as they turned the corner that marked halfway of their journey to school.

"Guys, we're gonna be late," Daisuke warned the four girls.

"LATE? I can't be late!" Risa panicked. "It'll ruin my reputation! We have to hurry!"

Miki put a hand on her head. "Oh for goodness sake. We'll be fine."

"No we won't!" Risa replied hotly. She ran ahead, and after exchanging looks the others followed at a run, too.


Later on, as the Niwas ate dinner, Yuri thought over her day at school. She had done terribly on the quiz, but she had expected that. What had disturbed her most was the blue haired boy that Daisuke was always with. Satoshi, she remembered was his name. He kept giving her strange looks when he thought she wasn't aware of him. He scared her a little.

To Yuri's left, Emiko was talking to Daisuke. "Was your day at school fine?" she asked. "Did your maths quiz go well?" Daisuke answered all her questions, until she ever so casually told him, "Oh, I sent a warning note today."

"What?" Daisuke exclaimed. "Mom, you're supposed to tell me first!"

"Oh sorry Dai. It must have slipped my mind."

Yuri listened to the conversation, and smiled to herself. She had missed following Dark the other night, but this time she was going to be right on time.


Breez interlocked her fingers. "So. Now that we are all together, we can set the proper plan into action. You know your parts?"

The Blade Slashers were assembled around the wood table. Breez sat at the head, Tash to her right and the two men to her left.

Tash nodded. "But what about him?"

They all knew what she meant by him. "He won't be a problem," Tash answered. "We'll choose a day when he's busy with his stealing business."

Tash nodded again in satisfaction. Hawk folded his arms, and Seth said nothing.

Breez grinned. "Then let us begin."


Done! That's the end of Chapter 11! Stay tuned for Chapter 12, yes?

InuyashaFangirl1-4: Thank you. I live in England. The 7th book just came out in April, and I read that last week. It's a little hard to get the books here. I either have to travel to London or order them off the internet.

Dragon and Sword Master: That's so nice of you! Thank you so much! (huggles)

Animesdbest: Thank you! A million bucks… what shall I do with that…? Oh, I know! I can buy a thousand choccie bars! …want one?

R&R! Let's try and get to 40! See you next chappie!
