Hey everyone and welcome to chapter 2! I read my comments and made some changes! So thanks alot you guys!

I also read that you want to know the pairings...well um there isnt really any but you can kinda see a relationship between Daisuke and Riku so you can say its DaixRiku if you want to.

Im sorry if it's still short but I'm working on it! so Enjoy the Story!

Chapter Two - The Crystal Lotus and Lost Memories

'Y-you painted that Niwa-kun?" said Riku looking at him as he walked up to the painting. He didn't really answer and Riku got a bit annoyed. "Niwa-kun!"

"Sorry…" said Daisuke in a daze "I was just trying to think of why I never finished it." He took a closer look at it. It was odd something that he had painted was still in the school and not to mentioned unfinished. He would usually take something like this home and work on it but why didn't he?

"Daisuke…?" asked Dark

Daisuke shook his head "sorry, I was just thinking." Daisuke could hear a small snort of announce from Dark as he recovered the painting. "Well we should get started come on Riku." Riku nodded and on the way out she closed the door and looked at the covered painting a bit confused.

"Oi! Daisuke! Riku! What took you so long!" yelled Takeshi. Daisuke sighed. "oh Daisuke! You cant really leave until you finish that piece over there!" Takeshi pointed to a large forest painted on a theater board.

"b-but!"

"Come on Daisuke I'm sure you'll finish it in no time!" cheered Takeshi with back up from Riku. Daisuke sighed how did he ever get into this mess? His head dropped a bit as he walked over to the theater board.

"Dai-Chan!" called Emiko "Come on you have to get a move on you're your going to be late!" she looked at the clocked and sighed it was almost ten o'clock at night and Daisuke came home late. Daisuke had work and he knew that but of course his mother wouldn't let him leave with paint all over him. Dark rushed passed Emiko mumbling a few things that she couldn't hear.

"Come on Wiz we have to go!" Dark grabbed Wiz and ran out the front door and took flight.

"Well that was odd…" said Kosuke

"I cant believe this! Daisuke why didn't you get home earlier!" Dark yelled in his mind.

"Don't yell at me! It was Takeshi! He wouldn't let me leave remember or were you asleep during that time?" Dark growled lowly Daisuke was right it wasn't his fault and he was asleep so he didn't really help Daisuke. Luckily they reached the Museum with one minute to spare. "phew that was close…" said Dark quietly.

"Why did you want to get here so badly? I thought we where just stealing the Crystal Lotus. What's so special about it?"

Dark smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know." He heard Daisuke sigh in defeat. Dark would never tell him so he didn't press the matter. "Also Commander Hiwatari isn't going to be here" Dark hummed happily as he jumped onto the roof. "Oi Daisuke I have a question, haven't you ever heard of the Crystal Lotus's Legend?"

"No…"

"Well it shows what you know. It says if it shines in the light of the new moon then it will turn black and the stars will shine brightly and if the light from a full moon hits it then the stars will disappear." Dark jumped into the room as the guards scrambled around with there flashlights. Dark had made one of them trip the alarm when he jumped into the room where the flower was he tossed a feather in front of the guard closest to the flower making him jump. It was funny to see the guard jump out of his skin and fall face first into the ground making the alarms go off not to mention seeing his red face when the Inspector yelled at him .

"Dark, the new moon doesn't give off any light."

Dark sighed quietly. "you'll see soon enough Daisuke, lets just get out of here, not stealing any Hikari's work is boring sense Satoshi isn't here to bug the crap out of." Daisuke sighed he couldn't believe his counter part.

After being a safe distant from the museum Dark changed back into Daisuke. Daisuke sighed and pocketed the flower. "Well I guess this hadn't been a to eventful day."

"I can disagree with that, what about your lost painting?"

Daisuke twitched. " ok one thing but that's about it." Daisuke couldn't see it but Dark was smirking he knew something but he wasn't going to say it.

"Good job Dai-Chan!" hummed Emiko happily as she looked at the crystal in her hands. Daisuke could see that she was excited because the entire reflection from the crystal could be seen in her eyes. Daisuke smiled weakly he hadn't seen his mother this excited sense he turned into Dark. 'I cant wait to see the stars shine brightly this Friday!"

"Why Friday?' asked Daisuke

"Because it's the new moon this Friday." Said Kosuke Daisuke rubbed his head.

"Right…" Daisuke headed upstairs " I'm going to bed, Good night."

His father nodded and waved his mother smiled along with his grandfather and Wiz followed him upstairs.

"…something's wrong" said Kosuke "That wasn't hard but how come Daisuke looks like he hadn't had sleep for ages?"

"Maybe because he had an exiting day." answered Emiko

Kosuke sighed. Emiko was sometimes just a bit non protective to Daisuke sometimes but he felt that she was a bit worried also " Well I guess he'll be alright, he does need his rest after all." Emiko smiled and nodded as her hands began to shake as she clasped her hands tightly around the crystal.

Alright, well if you havent quiet figured out what I am doing its because I am makeing this up as I go ' but the good news is that I am going to keep writing the chapters day by day so you wont have to wait long. I am alsokeeping my main plot so you'll just have to deal with it. sorry Toyo-kun. So things will become more clear as the story progresses alright? Well thanks for reading and I'll see you in chapter 3! Oh if you want me to make more improvements just let me know nicely thanks!
