Sorry I took so long to update, but I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Previously:
"Riku, what happened to you?" Risa asked now tears forming her eyes, "I'm sorry about today."
Riku was still fast asleep.
DAISUKE'S ROOM
"Daisuke, what's wrong?" Dark asked, seeing how Daisuke have been sighing all evening.
"Nothing," Daisuke answered. What happened to Riku this evening was a complete shock to him. And seeing Satoshi with her was even more surprising.
"Do you think that maybe Satoshi cares for Riku?" Daisuke asked Dark.
"Beats me," Dark said, "but I hope he doesn't, cause she's mine."
"Yeah," Daisuke said feeling depressed.
"So Daisuke, what about Risa, are you going to say yes?" Dark asked.
"Yeah," Daisuke answered again, but it still wasn't a happy tone.
"Then why do you sound so depressed?" Dark questioned.
"I'm fine, just fine," Daisuke answered softly as he went to bed himself.
RIKU'S ROOM
Riku just woke up finding Risa asleep right next to her bed. Her whole body felt sore.
"Risa, Risa," Riku whispered trying to wake her up.
"Oh Riku, your awake," Risa said excitedly as she woke up, "Joseph, Joseph, Riku is awake.
The butler ran in.
"Oh Ms. Riku, should I call the doctor my lady?" he asked in a voice full of concern.
"Um no, I'm fine," Riku replied softly, "thanks for worrying about me though."
"So what happened to you Riku?" Risa asked. Riku suddenly remembered everything that just happened to her, the boy, the locker room, Satoshi, everything. Remembering that moment in the locker room with Satoshi to her felt almost like a dream.
"Nothing really, I just got attacked, but how did I get home?" Riku asked.
"A boy brought you home, he left before I got a chance to look at him though," Joseph answered, "oh and I called your parents, they appear to be very worried, but their business is overseas now so they don't think they can come back now."
"Tell them it's no big deal, I'm okay, anyway thank you then, you may be excused," Riku said.
"I'm sorry," Risa started saying after the butler left.
"For what?" Riku answered in surprise.
"For being such a brat today, I know what you said was true, and I know the things I said to you today were wrong, I know now that my feelings for Dark weren't love." Risa answered now tears start forming in her eyes, "I know you would never do anything to hurt me Riku, and for that I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize," Riku replied now giving Risa a hug, "it's no big deal."
"Really?" Risa asked.
"Yeah, you're my little sister so of course it's okay, it's normal for me the older sister to look out for you," Riku teased.
"You're only older by a few minutes," Risa replied. Riku started laughing at the sight of Risa acting up over the whole issue of who is older.
"Oh guess what Riku?" Risa suddenly asked.
"What is it now?" Riku answered.
"I confessed to Daisuke," Risa said excitedly.
"WHAT?" Riku yelled. She wasn't prepared for this, for a second she felt of if an arrow has just shot through her.
"What's wrong?" Risa asked innocently.
"Oh nothing, sorry I was just surprise, cause I thought you rejected him," Riku said after regaining her composure.
"Yeah, actually I'm surprised myself," Risa said in a serious voice, "at first I thought of him only as a friend, but as time passed on by, I realized that I liked him even more that a friend."
"So he confessed back to you then?" Riku asked.
"No," Risa answered sadly, "he asked for a day to think about it though, but I know he'll answer yes because I have a feeling that he still loves me a lot."
"Oh, that's good," Riku replied, "well I want to get some more sleep so I can to go to school tomorrow."
"Okay, good night then," Risa replied as she walked out of the room, "oh and Riku, thanks so much for everything, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have thought in a million years that I loved Daisuke."
"Yeah anytime," Riku answered now with tears in her eyes, "of course he would say yes, he loved her so much, it was just plain to see. Riku walked out on her balcony. Now she was crying.
"Why, why must so many tears must always come out?" Riku said to herself as she let her tears freely flow from her eyes, "Daisuke, you idiot."
Riku kept on crying until an image of Satoshi quickly flashed in her mind. She thought back at all the times she spent with him of how relaxed she felt when she was with him, and the locker room incident where he comforted her and said he would be there for her.
"You've helped me once again Satoshi," Riku said after she realized that she stopped crying. Riku went back inside and went to bed.
SATOSHI'S APARTMENT
As Satoshi finished eating, his mind kept wondering off to thinking about Riku. Now he realized he really did care for her. She was different. Now he realized why Dark was so hung up on her. It was true she was different from other girls. At first to Satoshi, Riku only seemed like an ordinary girl that was in his class, but as time passed on by, he realized he felt drawn to her. He had feelings he never had before.
Before he met Riku, the original Satoshi was always cold and rarely ever talked to anyone or showed any emotions. Even though he was admired by many girls for his looks, he didn't seem to ever notice them. It seems he was always putting up a barrier around himself so that no one could ever get close to him. Now, Riku melted that barrier, she brought Satoshi out of the cage that he thought he could never escape. She was the first person to bring light into his dark world.
As Satoshi thoughts kept thinking of Riku, something inside of him felt like he was burning up. He didn't felt too comfortable. He felt like something was urging to come outside of him.
"So Satoshi, I guess you finally have feelings for someone," he heard a voice from inside of him say.
"Krad," Satoshi said angrily.
"Yep, that's me, it's good to finally be awaken," Krad said from inside Satoshi.
"Why aren't you out here hunting for Dark? I know that you can easily come out now in the condition I'm in," Satoshi asked suspiciously.
"No need to rush, it's true I really want to see him dead right now, but while that I still want to see who your little girlfriend is," Krad replied slyly, "I want to see this so call girl that has melt your heart. Maybe even thank her for helping me awake."
"She's not my girlfriend," Satoshi quickly replied.
"Yet," Krad teased.
"And don't you even think of getting anywhere near her," Satoshi grunted.
"Being a little protective aren't we?" Krad said. After that, Satoshi just went to bed.
NEXT DAY
"Riku, I'm leaving first okay?" Risa called out.
"Okay," Riku replied as she got on her bike.
Risa got to the station and waited for the trolley to pick her up. To her luck she saw Daisuke.
"Daisuke," she called out.
"Oh great," Daisuke thought wearily since he didn't get much sleep last night, "she's already calling me by my first name."
"Hi," Risa said.
"Hey," Daisuke answered back. They both got on the trolley. They rode it for awhile in total silent until Risa spoke up.
"So did you think about what I said yesterday?" Risa asked innocently.
"Yeah, and I decided I still really like you just like I always have," Daisuke replied.
"Liar," Dark called out.
"Shut up, what do you know?" Daisuke called back.
"Really?" Risa said loudly and gave him a hug. Daisuke let out a sigh.
"She really is cute though," Daisuke thought.
When they arrived at the school gate, Risa was linking arms with Daisuke.
As Risa and Daisuke walked into the school, they were both too speechless for words.
"Daisuke, tell me you don't see what I see," Risa said still in shock.
"I wish I can, but I see it too," Daisuke replied. All over the halls of their school was scattered with papers that when Riku picked up her face turned white. It was a picture of Riku and Satoshi when they embraced in the locker room. Riku was still had her shirt off and closing her eyes probably because she fell asleep already, but everyone went in shock when they saw.
"It's probably the work of the bastard that did this to her," Dark said disgustingly.
"Well duh," Daisuke replied. The whole school went into havoc. Both Riku and Satoshi were well known at their school. Risu was a track star, and Satoshi was just popular among the girls, so of course when the students saw the picture they would panic.
"Riku and Satoshi, no way," some students said as they walked.
"Are they going out?"
"What were they doing?" The comments kept going on and on. Since no one was there during the incident, of course no one knew what happened and just assumed stuff. The picture itself didn't look like Riku was harassed or anything. It looked like they purposely did it and just got their picture taken.
Risa and Daisuke were still standing in the middle of the hallway.
"Risa, Niwa, why are you guys standing in the middle of the hallway?" they heard a voice say.
"Oh no, Riku don't come this way," Risa yelled as she saw her sister. Too late, Riku already caught a glimpse of some of the picture that was scattered on the ground. She walked right past Risa and picked one up. She was also speechless. Her eyes were full of hurt. Tears started swelling in her eyes.
"Why?" Riku finally let out a word.
Daisuke saw this and for some reason he felt like he had to do something.
"Well there's no use standing around," Daisuke said cheerfully, "let's pick them up and throw them away."
"A lot of people saw them already, Daisuke," Risa said.
"But we can still prevent more people from seeing it Risa," Daisuke replied. Riku twitched at the name. Risa was already calling him by his first name, and he was calling hers. So that means they already became an item. She felt another pang in her chest. But she quickly lightens up when Daisuke suggested something. He was trying to help her.
"Probably because I'm Risa's sister," Riku thought sadly, "but it was still nice of him though."
Daisuke, Risa, and Riku started to pick up all the pictures that were in the hallway.
"Who knows where he dropped the others," Riku finally said.
"It's okay, at least it'll buy some time," Daisuke answered.
"Why do we need to buy time, sooner or later the whole school will know," Riku replied angrily.
"It's better later than sooner," she heard a voice say. It was Satoshi. He just came to school and noticed the commotion, but he still kept his calm attitude and started picking up the pictures too.
After they were all done with the hallway, they went to class. Apparently the whole class knew about the picture already so the whole class was a little noisier than usual today. It was only silent when Riku and Satoshi walked in and all eyes were laid on them. They just walked quietly to their seats.
"Are you two really going out?" Saehara was the first one to ask. When Riku was about to deny it, the teacher walked in. She too has known what the commotion was about.
"Okay class, I know what went on today, but" she began to say before she got cut off by the announcement.
"Will Riku Harada, and Satoshi Hiwatari please come to the principle's office immediately," the principle announced, "I repeat, will Riku Harada, and Satoshi Hiwatari please come to the principle's office immediately.
AT THE PRINCIPLE'S OFFICE
"You may take a seat," the principle Mr. Yakimoto said to Riku and Satoshi as they came in. Riku was really nervous while Satoshi kept his blank expression and calm personality.
"Well I understand, what have been going on," Mr. Yakimoto began to say, "you two are very promising students and I don't want to see you head in the wrong path.
"But we're not," Riku blurted out, she couldn't take it any more, she is too busy to deal with this crap.
"Then can you explain this to me," Mr. Yakimoto said while holding up an extra copy of their picture.
"Well," Riku began but couldn't find the right words.
"From what I believe, I think there's more to this picture than just a photo," Mr. Yakimoto said, "I know you two are not the type to go and cause something like this, so I want you to tell me what happened, because the whole school is drowning in confusion and chaos right now, just because of this photo."
Now Riku finally understand what the principle wanted. He wanted to know what happened yesterday. But she doesn't intend to tell him. She doesn't want to cause any more trouble for both her and Satoshi, and telling the principle will just make it worse in her opinion.
"Nothing really," Riku replied.
"So you two have a special relationship then," The principle said suspiciously.
Riku couldn't think of what to say. Then it was Satoshi's turn to finally step in and talk.
"Of course we are," Satoshi admitted.
"What?" Riku thought but she didn't scream it out because she doesn't want trouble, and maybe this is the way to do it.
"Is that so?" the principle eyed them.
"Yes, I guess we just got a little carried away yesterday, but it won't happen again sir," Satoshi said coolly, "from now on we'll act more appropriate on school property."
Riku couldn't believe what she heard, but she still went along with it anyways, just to let the principle drop the subject.
"You know I have to contact your parent about this," Mr. Yakimoto said in a cool tone.
"Mine are overseas right now, so I don't think you can, even I haven't talked to them in like forever," Riku said.
"I live alone without my parents so you won't be able to reach them," Satoshi said coolly.
"He lives alone?" Riku thought in shock.
"Very well then, you may go back to your class," the principle said after he gave some thought.
As Satoshi and Riku walked back to class, Riku couldn't help but say something to him.
"You know, you could've thought of a better excuse," she said calmly.
"That was the first thing that came to my mind," Satoshi answered, "it saved us from some trouble didn't it?"
"Yeah," Riku replied.
"But I think it isn't over yet," Satoshi finally said.
"What do you mean?" Riku questioned, but they got back to their class. As they walked in the announcements came on again.
"Attention all students," Mr. Yakimoto's voice was heard, "I noticed the chaos that have been going on today and I have confronted Mr. Hiwatari, and Ms. Harada already, and to clear things up I hope you will not cause more trouble for them, because through my knowledge the two does share a special relationship, so I hope this knowledge of information does help clear up some confusion."
"Oh crap," Riku thought as she walked to her seat. The whole class suddenly got noisy.
"Since when did this start?" some people asked, and the questions just kept going and going.
Risa of course, knew it wasn't true, but she decided to tease Riku a little bit.
"Hey Riku, now be both have boyfriends," she called out loudly. The whole class turned to her as she walked over to Daisuke and linked her arms around his. Then the yelling started all over again.
"You two are going out?" the question kept on going again.
Daisuke was already in shock.
"They are going out?" he thought in his mind over and over.
"Of course not, are you that stupid?" Dark yelled, "they probably said that to stay out of trouble, and why do you care anyways, you have a girlfriend."
"In case you haven't noticed, Riku is my girlfriend's sister," Daisuke replied.
"Whatever you say," was Dark's reply.
"Class please settle down," Ms. Murrue said. Then the class settled down.
"Okay first off, congratulations to the Harada twins for the start of a new relationships," Ms. Murrue teased, "but we have to get down to business now. If I may remember correctly, the first round of the contest is tomorrow."
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I will try to make the next chapter a little more exciting. And I was just wondering if you like me to make the relationship of the characters more intimate? Anyways, please review.
