I hate disclaimers. Take to long to type out. Here.

Disclaimer: I don't own any DNAngel characters. And you already hopefully know my characters.

The ending for chapter 3 was kinda stupid. I couldn't think of any other way to end it. This chapter is way longer that the first 3. I just couldn't stop writing! lol

Please tell me if I'm too slow in some parts or too fast in others. Sometimes I just have too many ideas.

This chapter was originally entitled 'The Dreaded Mall' but I thought Meeting the Girls sounded better.

Just a little f.y.i for you all. In upcoming chapters I may have the characters do really stupid things. I've been watching Viva La Bam a lot. So, yeah. If anyone watches that, you know how stupid they are. Bam influences my writing dammit! Haha. I don't think they will tho. That would be really out of character for anyone.

On to Chapter 4: Meeting the Girls

"Mom! Why the mall?" Misa yelled

"Well were else are we going to go Misa?" She asked angrily

"I don't know…" She muttered and unlatched her seat belt

After all 5 of them got out of the car they started walking towards the entrance. Misa noticed a few people staring at them. Or more like staring at Daisuke and Satoshi. She recognized them from school. 'The stupid preps' she thought 'why are they staring?'

"Where do we want to go first everyone?" Mrs. Himiko asked happily.

"How about home…" Misa said under her breath.

Mrs. Himiko lead in front, then Megumi was walking next to Daisuke, Satoshi was behind them and Misa drew up the rear. Daisuke was admiring all the stores and people and Satoshi was just staring ahead of him looking at nothing what so ever. He was actually thinking why Misa was crying so hard.

'Well that's easy Satoshi-sama. She's mad at you'

His face flushed with anger at the sound of his voice.

'Shut up. I don't need to hear for you right now.'

'Well that was mean. No wonder Misa-chans mad at you. Your so mean to people.'

'Don't you ever call her Misa-chan again Krad.'

'I'll do whatever I please.' Krad said with a laugh and disappeared.

Misa could obviously see that Satoshi was angry. Maybe it was something she did. She was going though anything she could have done to make him mad when she heard someone call her name.

"Hey, Misa!"

She turned around to see the girl she hated most. Her name was Brandy Emerson. The most popular girl in her school. 'Oh no.' She thought. Satoshi had heard someone call her name and turned around to see who it was.

"What do you want?" Misa asked

"You're on our ground. I thought I told you never to come here again?" Brandy said with a flick of her hair. She was with her little posse as everyone called it. Brittany, Maranda, and Chelsy. And as their leader did, they flicked their hair too.

"Like I wanna be here. I had to come so just leave me alone." She said and turned to leave but Brandy grabbed her arm.

"Little girls that don't listen to the rules must get punished." Brandy smirked

"Let go of her." Satoshi said glaring at her.

Brandy and the other girls just stared at him. Satoshi took Misa's other hand and tried to walk but Brandy still had a hold on her.

"I said now." He said and took the girl's hand of Misa.

He took her hand again and started walking towards the direction of the other three.

"Who was that Brandy?" Maranda asked her.

"I don't know. But nobody touches me and gets away with it." She hissed and the four walked off.

Misa could feel her face heating up because he was holding her hand.

'Why'd he help me like that?" Misa thought

'Well it's only cuz he likes you Misa!' The female's voice rang out again

'No he doesn't!' She looked over at him and blushed once again.

'Come on. Isn't he the one you talk to in Astro World?' questioned the voice

'Yeah.'

'Well from what you tell me he's pretty cool. Why don't you go out with him?'

'Shut up Da-'

Satoshi asked her something interrupting her in mid-thought.

"Who were those girls?" He asked

"Their just some girls from my School. We don't really get along." She hung her head.

"You shouldn't let people boss you around like that." He said.

She looked over at him. He was looking ahead of himself with a slight look of anger on his face. Neither of them talked for a while. Then Misa broke the silence.

"Thank you." She blushed.

He looked down at her a noticed he was still holding her hand. He quickly let go and stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked the other way. Blushing slightly.

"Why'd you…let go?" She asked him.

He stopped and looked back at her surprised. He kind of panicked and then asked her, "Did you want…me to let go?"

She stared into his beautiful blue eyes not knowing what to say. They were thrown out of the moment when Misa heard a familiar voice call her name.

"Misa-chan!" She yelled again tackling her to the floor

"Yuzu, what are you doing here?" Misa asked

"Rilies here too!" Yuzu squealed

"She is?" Misa asked surprised

"We just came to get some mangas, nothing else," Rilie said walking up and picking up Yuzu off of Misa, "What're you doing here?"

"Oh, mom wanted to buy Hiwatari-san and Niwa-san some new cloths for school." She said standing up.

The other two girls stared at her.

"Did you just say Hiwatari and Niwa?" Rilie asked

"Um, yeah. Look behind you." She said

Satoshi was standing quietly behind them watching them. As Yuzu and Rilie turned around they gasped and stepped back a few feet.

"The hell!" Rilie exclaimed.

"Hiwatari-san and Niwa-san are the exchange students," Misa said

"No way!" Yuzu jumped up and down her eyes shimmering at the thought of Daisuke turning into Dark.

"Hiwatari-san, this is Carlie Siliverston," She said pointing to Yuzu, "We call her Yuzu though."

Satoshi bowed and shook her hand.

"And this is Rilie Miller. There my best friends!" She smiled, "And you two know how he is already so lets go find my mom!"

Misa was to say the least, nervous. She was walking with Rilie and Yuzu on either side of her and Satoshi was walking behind them. They finally found Mrs. Himiko and the other two in Pac Sun. Although Misa didn't like it, she had to go in.

"Hello Misa-san!" Daisuke smiled, "Your mother was just gonna go look for you. She paying for some things."

Yuzu squealed at the sight of him. As Misa introduced Yuzu and Rilie, Megumi came over to Satoshi with a bag in his hands.

"Mama got Hiwatari-sama some cloths." He said and handed the bag up to him.

"Thank you Megumi-san." He said and took the bag.

"Misa! Where were you two!" Mrs. Himiko tapped he foot with her hands on her hips.

"Well, Rilie and Yuzu found me and I was introducing them to Satoshi-san." Misa said

"I don't care if they came to see you are not. We got a bunch of things by the time you introduced them! That's to long for an introduction!"

The argued some more but Satoshi didn't really hear them. He was thinking of what Misa just called him.

'She called me… By my first name.' He thought and a slight smile spread across his face.

'See? I told you if you were nice to her she wouldn't be mad at you Satoshi-sama.'

He didn't say anything back to him. He only kept staring at her.

They all walked out Rilie and Yuzu saying their good-byes and walked off. Then they all went to the food court. As Mrs. Himiko ordered some food and drinks from the Burger King there, the kids found a place to sit.

'Hey Daisuke?' Dark asked

'Yeah?'

'That Misa girl. It's almost feels the same way when you're around Satoshi doesn't it?'

'Ah! What do you mean by that!' He yelled in panic.

'Not like that. I mean like theres another person within her.'

'She's not like us Dark. She couldn't be!'

'Whatever. I'm going back to sleep.' Dark yawned.

It was quite as they ate. Satoshi sometimes glancing at Misa but then get embarrassed and turn the other way.

"Do you guys want to go to the bookstore?" Misa asked looking over at Daisuke and Satoshi.

"Um, sure." Satoshi said.

"That would be fun!" Daisuke smiled.

They threw their trash away and started walking towards the bookstore in one of the wings of the mall.

"This is one of two stores I go to. I don't really like the mall." Misa said turning around and walking backwards to face Satoshi and Daisuke.

They entered the bookstore. It wasn't really big but it sure had a lot of books. Misa led them over to the Manga section.

"Do you guys read any Manga?" Misa asked looking if there was any new titles.

"I don't have time." Satoshi said bluntly

"I've read a few," Daisuke said, "but I don't really have time either."

"Yeah I guess it was a stupid question to ask." She smiled.

"What do you mean?" The two boys asked at once.

Misa giggled and walked over to another shelf and grabbed something on it.

"Here. Flip through it!" She said handing it to Satoshi first.

He looked at it and the front had a drawing that looked exactly like Daisuke. He started to flip through it. He blushed a little and closed it handing it to Daisuke. They were both surprised.

'Daisuke! What the hell?' Dark yelled seeing himself and everybody else on the pages.

'I don't know! All she did was tell us to flip through it!'

"Doesn't the story sound familiar?" Misa asked

They both were quite.

"That's your guy's story," she started to explain, "In your guy's world, your manga is about the lives of people in my world. And vise versa. But how you guys could have come her for the exchange program is beyond me."

"Have you…read these?" Satoshi asked her

"Yup! I've read up to volume 4. That's where you guys were going on that school trip!" She laughed a bit.

Satoshi blushed and looked down. Misa noticed some girls in the next shelf over looking through some DNAngel books and looking at Satoshi and Daisuke. They were getting really excited and looked like they were going to explode.

"Um, they're just cosplaying! Their costumes are really good aren't they?" She asked talking the boy's hand and leading them out of the store.

"Wow. That was close." Misa muttered.

"Niwa-sama!" Megumi came running over, "I want to show you something!"

The two went off leaving Misa and Satoshi alone. They sat on the nearest bench and Misa looked up at the ceiling.

"I'm glad no one at my school really likes manga or we'd be screwed." She said, "I don't think we could make an excuse like back in the store."

"Hey." Satoshi said.

She looked at him. "What?"

"Before we ate, you called me by my first name."

She blushed and her eyes widened. 'I did!' She thought

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about you know." He said looking down at the floor.

"Why did you help me before with Brandy and them?" She changed the subject quickly.

"Because I…um…It looked like you needed help ok." He said a light shade of red crossing his face.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about you know?" She mimicked him and laughed.

They were quite for a bit. Satoshi remembered earlier at the house when she crying.

"Why were you crying earlier?" He asked

"I um…" She sighed, "I just thought you were mad at me because you called me Himiko-san."

He got a sick kind of feeling in his stomach.

"And I just hate it when my mom yells at me like that." She added

"I've noticed that your mother isn't to kind to you." He said

He could see her eyes glazing over with tears. A lump filled in her throat. She was trying to hold back her tears.

"Why do you do whatever she says?" He asked

"Because I have to."

"Do you mind me asking why." He asked moving closer to him

"I just have to," She said as the dam broke and tears escaped her eyes, "If I don't do what she says she'll make me do even more for my stupid job, which I don't want to do. It's just not fair!"

She was trying to wipe away the tears with her sleeve but it didn't work. She felt his arms around her and she dug her face into his shirt.

"What is this job you have to do Misa-san?" He asked

She shook her head, "I can't tell you. I'm sorry."

He was kind of disappointed that she wouldn't tell him but he held her like that until she stopped crying. She sat up straight and looked at him.

"Your face is all red." He laughed. It made her laugh too.

"Well I can't help that."

"Here." He said as he gave her his handkerchief.

"Thank you…Satoshi-san."
