HARADA'S HOUSE
"So Riku, how did you get home yesterday?" Risa asked her sister.
"Um, after you ran off I just headed home," Riku lied, "and you?"
"Well, I was chasing after Dark, then suddenly he just vanished just like that so I just gave up and came home, but funny thing is, I didn't see you home yet," Risa said innocently.
"Well I was pretty slow on the way home, so it's no big deal that you got home before me," Riku said nervously.
"Oh, okay then I'm heading off to school first," Risa said cheerfully.
"Oh crap, that was close," Riku said after Risa left, "Risa will kill me if she finds out what happened last night." Then Riku took her bag and left for school.
AT SCHOOL
"Sleep well last night?" Dark teased Daisuke.
"I'm not in the mood today, so please just shut up," Daisuke said weakly.
"Hey Niwa," Risa said behind him, startling him.
"Whoa," Daisuke said jumping back, "oh, hi Ms. Harada."
"You know what, I think Riku is acting kind of weird this morning, but I just can't really put my finger on what's wrong with her," Risa started to say.
"Must be about last night," Daisuke thought, the image of what happened yesterday flashing through his mind.
"and she usually always tell me everything…" Risa still talking not realizing that Daisuke wasn't listening.
"What are you babbling about Risa?" Riku said after she arrived to school.
"Oh nothing," Risa replied.
"So Niwa, did you hear what happened to last night after Dark stole that artifact?" Riku asked him.
Daisuke started to blush and said, "um, no."
In reality, Daisuke was thinking, "I don't need to hear about it, I was there, and I know what happened last night."
'Oh Daisuke, it's no big deal,' Dark started teasing again.
"No big deal? You kissed Riku okay? How can you make it sound so insignificant?" Daisuke started screaming inside his head.
'I actually kind of enjoyed that moment,' Dark said starting to laugh, 'why do you care so much anyway? It's not as if it has anything to do with you. You're not developing feelings toward my Riku, are you?'
"Of course not," Daisuke quickly said. The teacher finally came in to settle the class down.
"Well today's the day," she started to say, "originally I planned to do a vote for the contest thing, but now I'm gonna make it more interesting by drawing names, so boys and girls, please put your name on a small piece of paper and girls put you name in this box and boys in the other."
"Oh yeah," Takeshi said writing his name on a piece of paper.
After all the name were put in the boxes, the teacher told him she'll draw the names after class. After another day of boring lectures, the lunch bell finally rang.
"I'll see you after lunch," the teacher said to them.
"Come on Riku," Risa yelled to her sister to hurry up and pack up.
They went up to the roof to eat, and found that Daisuke was already there.
"Niwa, I didn't know you like it up here," Risa said.
"I like the scenery," Daisuke began to say, "I didn't know you like it up here."
"I don't," Risa began to pout, "it's all Riku's idea."
"Um, yeah, I like it up here, when the weather's nice," Riku said.
They all sat down and ate lunch. Since Riku had time, she packed herself a boxed lunch this morning. Risa on the other hand had to buy lunch from the cafeteria. Daisuke's mom packed his lunch for him.
"Riku, you lunch looks so good, it's not fair, I'm not as good as cooking at you so I always have to buy my lunch," Risa whined, "come on, let's share."
"Of fine Risa, you're such a baby," Riku replied, handing Risa her lunch.
"Yay," Risa said cheerfully, "oh so yummy, Niwa, Riku is a great cook this is way better than the box lunch I made you that one time, here try some." And she took some and shoved it into Daisuke's mouth. Riku began to blush, "Risa," she said nervously.
"How is it?" Riku asked Daisuke.
"It's good, no more than good, great," Daisuke thought, "it's so much better than Risa's cooking, no offense to her though." Suddenly an image ran across Daisuke's mind; Riku standing in the kitchen cooking, looking so cute. "She would make such a good housewife," Daisuke thought blushing.
"You're thinking dirty thoughts," Dark said to Daisuke.
"No," Daisuke said out loud shaking his head.
"Is it that bad?" Riku said with a sad expression on her face.
"Um, I mean, uh I think it's great," Daisuke replied now his face red as a tomato.
"That's good," Riku said in relief.
"Oh no, I promised the art teacher I'll help him with some stuff for extra credit," Risa began to panic, "can you help me with it too Niwa?"
"Sure," Daisuke said. Since he obviously can't reject a request from Risa.
"Here's you lunch back," Risa said handing Riku the lunchbox.
"You ate the whole thing," Riku said in amazement.
"Oops, sorry," Risa said laughing. They both left leaving Riku there by herself.
"Daisuke always let her take advantage of him," Riku thought, "he must really like her."
Suddenly, the door to the roof opened and out walked Satoshi. He just walked straight past her and to the fence railing where he let the wind blow across his face. Riku was surprised to see him.
"I didn't know you like to come here," Riku commented to him. He didn't answer or even look at her. He just kept staring at the scenery.
"Fine don't answer me," Riku thought in her head starting to get annoyed.
"I like the scenery and the fresh air," Satoshi replied, even though he still didn't look back at her when he talked. Riku was startled when he actually talked to her.
"Yeah, me too," she replied nervously. Then lunch finally ended.
BACK IN CLASS
"The time has come students, it's time to draw the names out," the teacher said excitedly.
Everyone was really focused waiting to see who she was going to draw.
"Representing the girls will be Harada," The teacher began.
"Yay," Risa said standing up immediately.
"I meant the older one," the teacher said after Risa stood up.
"Bummer," Risa said as she sat back down thinking, "why Riku, it's not fair."
"No way," Riku screamed almost too loud, realizing it was her who was called.
"Older Harada, please maintain an indoor voice in the classroom please," the teacher said sternly.
"Riku's name was drawn," Daisuke thought.
"Yeah, and if you're lucky, your name will get picked too," Dark teased.
"Buzz off, Dark," Daisuke replied.
"Okay," the teacher started to announce, "representing the boys will be…"
Sorry to leave a cliff hanger, but I thought that was a nice stopping point. Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and please review.
