Chapter 1-Silent Nights, Screaming Mornings
It took Riku forever to get ready for the day, she made herself look as perfect as she can possibly make herself. She brushed her silky caramel hair, till there was no knots in it, she even started wearing a bit of make-up. This surprised her, she realized what Daisuke was doing to her, and she was beginning to be like Risa. She hated it.

Riku was sitting on the grass outside of Azumano Middle School. It was a bright day; the sky was a light blue, clear of clouds, and the sun shining bright. Riku reached into her pocket and grabbed out a piece of paper. It was from Dark, she found it on her desk a couple nights ago, when her first kiss was stolen from her. It was a very short note, it read:
Riku,
I want to see you again, and I need to tell you something
Meet me outside your house, in the backyard in a couple of days.
Dark
Riku sighed, 'What would happen if I see him?' She stared at the note and wondered if she should see him. "Harada-san?"
She looked up to see Daisuke, he smiled down at her and sat down beside her, "You're here early Harada-san"
"Yeah… I woke up… um, pretty early" Riku was blushing. She tried to control it, 'This is stupid!!' She clenched her fists to control her emotion. She looked over to him; she just adored his smile, and his crimson eyes. Daisuke looked over to her, "anything wrong?"
Riku looked down, "I've… got to… tell you... something… important." 'Just say it and get it over with! I promised myself I'd do this today and this is the perfect time"
Daisuke looked at her, confused, "Ok."
"I…"
She took a deep breath, 'say it and run away…'
"I've had… a…"
Riku started shaking, her heart was pounding against her chest, and she was scared, "crush on..."
'Oh my god, I can't say it, it's too weird' Riku got up, "I'm sorry for wasting your time!!" She turned around and ran towards the entrance of the school. She ran towards her locker and sat down in front of it, bringing her knees close to her chest, she cupped her face with her hands. She was still shaking and her heart was pounding, she was that scared to tell Daisuke.
I wonder if he noticed I was shaking when I tried to tell him? My heart is racing so fast!
She sat there, and made up her mind, 'might as well see Dark tonight…'
The day was hell for Riku, she had been avoiding Daisuke all day, she ran into Satoshi, he even scared her half to death. Risa has been talking about Dark all day, and Riku was getting so annoyed. She couldn't believe how much Risa was in love with Dark, it was pretty desperate, Riku thought.
She was at home, in her room, staring in at the mirror. The image that reflected back at her was Risa. This wasn't Riku, but it's going to be now, everyone knew the difference between the two, the mirror's image is different only by the hair, and the voice inside, which makes up Riku's attitude. Risa seemed to have none at all.
Riku looked at the clock, 8:00 pm, Dark should be outside. 'I'll make this quick' Riku got up and walked to her backyard outside. She stood there, admiring the flowers. There was a sudden gust of wind and Riku turned around. There he stood, his violaceous hair in his face, his lavender eyes staring at her, with a grin. The light emanated from the moon, lightened his face, it was hard to admit for Riku, he was handsome. Riku's caramel hair looked as if it was mahogany in the moon's light.
Riku's feelings changed from a desolated child to a treasured girl, that was favored by the one and only, Dark. He had a look of amusement as he spoke, "I'm surprised you came Riku-chan" Riku flinched, 'chan!?' Riku forced herself to talk, without stuttering, "I am too…"
Dark walked towards her. Riku felt like she wanted to back away, but she stood her ground. Her copper eyes fixated upon him, his every movement. He stopped when he was standing right in front of her, "you're different, unique, I like that. You're not like other girls I've seen in my lifetime."
"I would guess you fell in love sometime in your life, other than to me"
"I did… Harada Rika. You remind me of her, your attitude I would guess."
"What did you want to tell me?" Riku said, almost in a cold voice.
"I love you"
Riku's heart sank, those were the words she wanted to hear from Daisuke. Her eyes watered, and she looked down. It felt, well… nice to hear someone saying that to her, but did he really mean it?
She choked, "Do you mean it?"
Dark held out his hand, there was a heart shaped pendant, encrusted with sapphire jewels. "Yes, I do mean it, and this time, I won't make a mistake, I won't lose you as I did to Harada Rika."
Riku couldn't hold back, he'd won her so easily, she thought she was pathetic, a fool. Riku hugged him, words couldn't form in her head, as she tried to answer, but they were lost, overlapped by her emotion. She was shaking, afraid, but she felt a sense of security when he held her, he hugged her back. The hot tears flowed down her cheeks. Until now, she never felt so loved.
All this time, she was mourning her love for Daisuke; he never showed an emotion of love to her. Making her mourn for more.
'Maybe for now, I'll give up on Daisuke'Chapter 2- Visualized Love
Just yesterday, Riku was lustful towards Daisuke. Now, she had feelings for Dark as well.
It was around 8:00 pm on a Saturday. Riku did nothing but mope around in her room. Then she decided to walk to the park, it was nice actually. The dewdrops on the trees made them glitter in the moon's light. The scent of fresh grass, and the clean air made it easy to breathe.
Riku sat down on the bench and closed her eyes. It was amusing to her of all the scents and the solitude.
There was a small gust of wind, and Riku thought it was Dark immediately. She opened her eyes but to see the opposite of him. His chrome hair falling in his face, just like Dark's, except one part of his bangs was much longer than the rest. His gold eyes reminded Riku of a demon or a cat. She didn't know which. The clothes he was wearing was only white and a little bit of yellow and purple. Then it hit her he had wings. "Did Dark come by here?" He said in a calm, collected voice. Riku tried to find her voice, mobilized by the man that was standing in front of her. "Um… no" She looked down.
Who is this guy? Why does he look so much like Dark and why is he looking for him?
"My name is Krad" His gold eyes staring down at her. He then turned away ready to leave. Riku found her voice again, "wait!" He looked back again at her, "hm?"
"Um… why are you looking for Dark?"
"So I could kill him"
Riku looked down at the ground, disappointed. 'He's going to kill Dark…'
Krad walked towards her and grabbed her chin, firmly, but lightly. He forced her head up, "You're not infatuated with him, are you?"
"Everyone is…"
Krad smirked in amusement. This was turning out to be good. "Would you know, he wouldn't care about you? He's a pedophile, a pervert, a player."
Riku choked on his words, "no… I thought that too… but-"
"But what? You should realize what I'm saying is true, I've been trying to catch him for generations. I saw how you females acted towards him. He doesn't care about you"
"Who would? No one, but him"
"I would, if I knew you, you're a pretty girl. But you look lost, lost you confidence in him. did you?"
"I… don't know…"
"I have to go, my time is up for tonight."
He let go of her chin, turned around, spread his wings and flew off into the night.
Did I lose my trust in Dark? I'm so lost now; I don't know what's happening anymore… I have to ask Dark later on. And maybe… I'll talk to Daisuke tomorrow. It feels so strange not talking to him.
Riku was crying, her hazel eyes showed her emotion, sorrow. She was unsure of herself.
And Krad… what was all that about?
