Aya gaped as Daisuke gobbled up his food. Since Satoshi had left them without eating, Daisuke, starving as he was, had eaten up everything. Aya had barely touched her food. She was too dumbfounded to register the fact that her stomach needed food.

Daisuke stopped, noticing the look Aya's face. He looked down and he was embarrassed at his appearance. Sauce hung on his face and hair. His shirt was covered with specks of rice. Aya laughed and handed him a napkin. His face grew as red as his hair.

Hehe. Nice job Daisuke Daisuke's alter ego sniggered.

Oh be quiet! Daisuke thought back reddening a bit more.

Here's a little info on dark. He has violet hair and eyes. He is the kind of guy that any girl would swoon over and that any guy would envy. Currently, he's in the same body as Daisuke. Two souls in one body. (Don't wanna explain so much. Hand crampin'. Read DNAngel. It won't hurt ya.)

Aya finally started eating her food. She observed Daisuke as he slowly started eating his own food. Aya grew very tired of the silence. It was getting on her nerves. Abruptly, Daisuke knocked his plate, again.

"Nice shirt," Aya said grinning.

Daisuke had somehow spilled sauce on himself again.

"Why do I have to be so messy!" he said in dismay.

Aya was laughing so hard, she tipped her own plate over and it fell on her lap. (By the way, they're eating spaghetti)

They both looked at each other, at the fallen plate, then back again. They heard the door creak open and when they turned their heads; they saw Satoshi looking at them amusedly.

Aya and Daisuke smiled at each other crazily then cracked up laughing. Aya fell off the bed and they laughed harder if that was even possible.

Satoshi watched the pair of them laughing and quirked his eyebrow then laughed along with them…

After that fiasco, Aya cleaned up the mess as quickly as she could lest the nurse would get angry. Daisuke and Satoshi helped as best they could.

Daisuke was surprised when Satoshi laughed. In his knowledge, he never heard Satoshi laugh before. Now come on, how many people do you know who never laughs? Not many I believe.

"So Daisuke, don't you need to go somewhere?" Aya asked him.

"Oh shoot! Grandpa's going to get mad if I'm late! Do you mind if…I mean," he was stopped short by Satoshi.

"Not at all. Go on ahead. We'll do the rest of the work." Satoshi's glasses flashed briefly.

Daisuke looked unconvinced. Aya stormed over to Daisuke, pushed him out the door and yelled, "Have a great day!"

Daisuke laughed then ran down the hall, smashing into the trash can along the way. Aya snorted very uncharacteristically. Satoshi stared at her absentmindedly. They continued to clean and managed to finish before the nurse came in.

"Feel better?" the nurse asked.

Aya blinked and answered, "Err…yes?" She covered her foot timidly over something. Satoshi blinked. The nurse only nodded her head. She told the two of them that they could go. Aya grabbed Satoshi's hand and fled the room. Soon they heard a yell that answered the question in Satoshi's eyes.

"WHO SPILLED ALL THIS!" …

Aya gasped as she reached the park. She had been running for a long time and she was exhausted. Satoshi and Daisuke were long gone and it was midnight.

She ran near the museum and rested against the wall, pausing for breath. She leaned her head against the wall. Then, out of the blue, she heard sirens wail and a bright light blinded her. She yelped and tripped over a tree root, hurting her ankle.

"Stop right there!" a deep voice hollered.

Panicking, she ran to the right, a branch scratching her with its long nails. She skidded across the street, running as fast as she could. Her lungs were on fire. I can't go any further, she thought frantically. She pushed aside branches and when she looked forward again, she saw that she was running toward the edge of the riverbank, but it was too late. She closed her eyes and fell down. She was about to splash into the water when strong arms caught her.

"It's way too cold for a swim."

Aya opened her eyes. Why am I always trippin'? She thought angrily. She felt a slight breeze as they took off into the air. Wait! Air!

Aya looked at her rescuer and saw a young boy in his teens staring at her with his amethyst colored eyes. He had black wings on his back. Wings? Aya thought confusedly. No, that can't be right.

"Are you an angel from hell?" she asked, with a little question mark over her head.

He winked at her. "Maybe, maybe not." (Dark: .-)

"What's your name?" she asked suspiciously.

"Dark."

"Weird name." She wrinkled her nose.

"You don't like my name? How 'bout my looks, huh?"

Aya looked at him. He really does have handsome features but…

"Can you put me down now?" Aya's hair was tickling her face too much and it was also cold. She shivered.

"Where do you live?" he asked.

"Why do you want me to-"

"You want me to dump you on the nearest street, girl?"

"Don't call me that."

"Girl."

"Stop."

"Little girl."

"I mean it."

"Hehe. Getting annoyed are we? You aren't ladylike at all," Dark pouted, "you didn't even tell me your name."

"Sumazaki Aya. Happy now?"

He snorted and said, "And you say I have a weird name."

"What!" She punched him angrily.

He laughed, "You punch like a boy. Nope. I was right. Not ladylike at all.

She growled in her throat.

"So why are you running around this late?" he looked at the sky.

"Fresh air. My mom made me mad. Again."

"Family. They can be weird sometimes."

Aya felt so warm in his strong arms, although he was a stranger, and felt quite comfortable. She gazed up at the boy's face. He had an unusual eye color. Amethyst colored. Beautiful, Aya thought. Then she thought, what got me interested in eyes? She flushed embarrassedly.

"Thinking dirty thoughts are we?" he snickered.

Aya said hotly, "What are you talking about! Who are you anyways!"

"I'm a phantom thief. That's what I am. Don't you see the news? I look so sexy on TV." (.-) He laughed.

"Man, you are getting heavy, especially when I'm carrying this."

Aya realized that Dark was carrying a golden plate. No wonder why I felt something cold on my back, she thought.

Sumazaki Residence

Dark touched down softly at Aya's window.

"Here we go. That will be 500 yen," Dark said holding out his hand.

Aya glared at him, her expression saying, If you don't leave right now, I'll murder you.

Dark chuckled

"Guess I'll be leaving then," Dark turned and flew into the sky yet again. The stars were fading. Aya quickly slid open the window and crept into her room. She pulled into the blankets pretending to be asleep, but, she did go to sleep. ZZZZ…

"Wake up!"

Aya groaned and said, "Five more minutes." Suddenly, she felt something cold slide down her spine. She shot up out of her bed.

"That was cold, mom!"

"No time to talk, get ready!"…

Somehow, Aya had managed to make it through the day. She kept falling asleep in class and she kept waking up when Daisuke prodded her awake.

"What happened? You're falling asleep in class a lot. What happened last night?" Daisuke asked dragging her to her next class.

"Well, I got angry at my mom, met a guy named Dark, only had ten minutes of sleep, and I'm here in this…tortur…ZZZ," Aya had fallen asleep again.

"Wait, you met Dark?" Daisuke prodded her.

"How! Tell me!"

Aya: ZZZ

"Dark?" a cool voice said.

Daisuke turned. Satoshi was leaning against the door.

Daisuke gulped.

"Nothing Satoshi. Aya's pooped out."

"I can see that."

Satoshi stared at the two of them and shrugged. He turned around with his hands in his pockets.

Daisuke thought, Whew close one.

"Yo Daisuke! Whatcha doing!" Takeshi ran, nearly running over Daisuke and the sleeping Aya.

"Takeshi! Don't do that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Daisuke exclaimed.

Takeshi ignored him and rambled on, "Apparently, Risa is going to…"

Daisuke was lost in his own thoughts. Does Satoshi know? Did he figure out Dark's identity? MY identity?

Daisuke felt a blow to his head.

"Ow! That hurt Takeshi!"

"You weren't even listening were you!"

Aya on the other hand, slept on and on through that ruckus. (Amazing, I know)

WhiteWolf92: You know why I like to write fanfics? You can do whatever you want with the characters. You can kill one save one…whatever.

Daisuke: Nu-uh

WhiteWolf92: Uh-huh

Daisuke: Nu-uh

WhiteWolf92: Uh-huh

Daisuke: (pouts) No fair!

WhiteWolf92: I'll write something bad about you then or maybe, I'll do it anyways. (Laughs like a maniac)

Everyone: o.o

Dark: Hehe. You in big trouble little man. .-

Satoshi/Krad: … Are we allowed to go?

WhiteWolf92: Just after I'm done laughing. Mwahahahahahahaha. Ok I'm done. You can leave now
