Jikan
Chapter 3: A Night in the Park
"Wha…What?"
"I'm the princess of Time."
"But…the….the one you love…"
"He might not have known me, but at least he pictured me in his mind."
"Where were you?"
"Frozen in ice. I was in the crystal earring you stole so I guess you could say that I lived under your house. Now go home. I have to get time moving again."
"Um….okay? Bye."

"Uh…hello Jikan…"
"Oh! Daisuke! Good. I was looking for you."
"Oh…um okay….," Daisuke said still nervous about the night before.
"It's okay. I'm not gonna rat on you. Since when would I?" Jikan asked while smiling.
"Do you like Risa?"
"Um…yea…." Is it that obvious?
"YOU IDIOT!" Everyone who was walking by stopped to see what was going on. "Look, we can't talk here. Meet me after school," Jikan whispered to Daisuke's ear while walking away.

"Where are you?" Daisuke asked out loud looking for Jikan.
"Daisuke! Over here!"
"Oh! There she is," Daisuke said while running up to her.
"I'm glad Riku's not here," Jikan said while tangling her fingers in her hair.
"Why? Do you hate her? I thought you guys were friends. She is sick today so is it right to say that?"
"Daisuke! I'm not that bad of a friend! It's just that she would kill me if she found out what I was gonna do."
"What?"

"That was a lot of questions."
'Wonder what that was about…'
"You really are dense."
'Am not! Do you know what those questions were about!'
"Of course. But she sent me a telepathic message into MY mind and told me not to tell you."
'She can do that?'
"Dur!"
'Okay, okay. Sheesh.'

((Satoshi-sama. We didn't see anything yesterday. We were right there. He was right there, and then…he just disappeared…))
(I know. We saw him. He grabbed the clock. Then…he just disappeared.)
((Doesn't that clock stop time?))
(Yea but only the princess of Time could make everything move again. And look, we're moving.)
((Okay, okay. I get you.))
(Why was I ever stuck with a curse like you? Dark and Daisuke are like brothers.)
((Do you want me to act brotherly?))
(Now that I think about it, no. You're perfectly fine and not fine.)
((I don't get you at all.))
"Hiwatari-kun?"
"What are you doing here Tokei-san?"
"Please, call me Jikan. Tokei-san makes me feel fat. Besides, I should be asking you the same thing. What ARE you doing here?"
"None of your business. I answered you now answer me. Why are you here?"
"That's not the answer I wanted but you did answer. I come here everyday. The moon and stars look pretty at this time of night," Jikan said while pointing to the moon.
"Yea…I guess."
"Tomorrow's a Sunday anyways. We don't go to school tomorrow. And just like you, I finished my homework in class."
"Hn."

Cookadoodledoo! "Huh?" (Where did the rooster come from?). Satoshi tried to get up but something was on his chest. It was Jikan's head.
((Satoshi-sama. You fell asleep yesterday. And Jikan always sleeps here until she wakes up.))
30 minutes later… "Are you awake, awake now?" a girl's voice asked.
"Huh?"
Sigh…"You said that when you woke up too."
"Huh?"
"Does low blood pressure always make him like this, Krad?"
((Sadly, yes.))
"Hahahahahaha! You guys really do like each other! You might say that you hate each other but this is just how you show your love! Hahahahahahahahaha!"
Everybody in the park turned to look at her. She looked really funny sort of. Her hair was messed up and she was laughing so hard that tears were forming at the edge of her eyes. She was even pointing at a blue haired boy next to her. "…"
"That's so cute!"
"…"
((…))
"Hahaha. I guess we fell asleep at the same time too."
"Yea…"
"At least it's Sunday."
"Uh-huh."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Let's go buy ice cream! We slept 'till about noon and I'm hungry!" Jikan said while dragging Satoshi to the ice cream shop.
