Dark Wings of Change
Koway: well it's now chapter 21 and things have settled down, for now at least…anyways, because one of the reviewers asked for a few chapters in school. I will write a few! What will Risa and Riku think? Thank you for all the reviews and enjoy chapter 21!

Chapter 21: Plays, Reports, and a Dance!
"Dai-chan…hey, Dai-chan. You don't want to be late now do you?"
"Wh-what?" the red eyed boy blinked and rubbed his eyes. He saw a pair of big violet eyes looking down at him. A blush spread across his face. "Dark!"
"Hey there. Are you going to get ready for school or will you skip another day?" the thief asked, giving the boy a peck on the cheek. "It's up to you."
"What? How much time do we have?" Daisuke got out of Dark's arms and looked at the clock. "Nani! Only thirty minutes! Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"
"Because," Dark kissed him and gave a wink. "You looked so cute when you were asleep that I didn't want to wake you."
Daisuke sighed and noticed that it they weren't at Satoshi's house. "Dark, did you bring us home?"
"Yeah, I left Satoshi with Krad and stole you." Dark finished putting on his shirt and saw Daisuke's red face. "Dai-chan, you okay?"
"Y-yeah! I'll be right down just tell mom I'm getting ready." Dark nodded and walked downstairs. Daisuke gave a sigh and went to take a shower. When he was done, he quickly put on his uniform and went downstairs to get a lovable hug from his parents.
"I'm glad you two made it out alright!" Emiko said. Kosuke was talking to Dark in the background and Daiki and Towa watched as the boy was squeezed.
"Can't…breathe…"
"Oh! Sorry, Dai." She let go and the redhead gasped. Emiko ran over to the counter and grabbed two bags. "Now here are your lunches and I want the two of you home by six."
"Alright, alright." Daisuke grabbed the two bags and saw Dark grab their backpacks before heading out the door. "Bye Emiko! Kosuke, Daiki, and Towa!" the thief called back.
Daisuke followed his counterpart soon after and they arrived at the rail car. "Hey Dark."
"Yeah, Daisuke?" Dark turned so that his eyes looked into the red ones of his own. 'He's beautiful.'
"Shouldn't you wear a disguise or something?" Daisuke looked around for any police. "I mean you are the legendary phantom thief."
"Hahaha! Well if I've been a thief for hundreds of years and no one has caught me, I think it's safe to say that I can walk around in public." The boy thought for a bit. "And we have Satoshi to bail us out. He's the commander as well as our friend."
Daisuke just couldn't help but nod. Dark was right. Satoshi would help them if they ever needed it and now that he had Krad, he wouldn't be alone anymore. "Yeah…Ah! We only have five minutes to get there!"
"Then hang on tight!" Dark brought out his real wings and picked up the fiery redhead bridal style before he flew off. Daisuke saw the city from the sky and gasped at its beauty before he spotted two familiar people running towards school. "What is it, Daisuke?"
"Nothing, I was just watching miss Riku and miss Risa running to school." He blinked. "We should land soon before we're late."
"If you say so." Dark landed on the school's roof and retracted his wings while placing the boy on his feet. The two then ran into the building and into class just as the bell rung.
"Daisuke! Dark-kun! You made it!" Risa said as she raced over to the two. "The teacher isn't here yet. Did you see the new kid?"
The girl pointed to Krad. He was looking out the window as Satoshi looked over some papers. "Oh, you mean Krad?"
"Yeah! I mean, there's a dance this Friday and he's turned down every offer!" Daisuke blinked and Dark sighed. "Even mine!"
"I can't imagine why…" Dark said sarcastically and Daisuke gave him a light tap as they both tried to contain their laughter.
"Huh? Yeah…oh well!" She latched herself to Dark's arm. "Are you going with anyone yet, Dark-kun?"
"Umm, I-I'm not sure I'm even going." He stuttered and looked to Daisuke. He was already at his seat, giggling at Dark's predicament. Luckily, the teacher came in and made everyone sit.
"Now class, I know that the Saint White's Dance is this Friday but we still have to work." She said. She picked up a small stack of papers. "This will be a team assignment for groups of two to four. It is to research someone in your family and present to the class. Any questions?"
The class groaned at the assignment as the teacher passed them out. "Will everyone now pick a partner?"
"Will you work with me, Krad?" Satoshi asked. The angel smiled and leaned into his ear.
"But of course, Satoshi. I was about to ask you." The blunette gave a smile as his angel gave hug a quick hug. "Now, who should we do it on?" Satoshi smirked, "You'll see."
"Umm, Daisuke, do you want to work together?" The boy turned to see Riku.
"Miss Riku? I thought you would work with miss Risa…"
"Then, is that a no?" Daisuke saw a small sign of sadness in her eyes as she looked away.
"No, I mean…I think that I'm already working with someone and—"
"Are you upset for what I did? By yelling at Dark?" She was looking at the ground and the boy felt a bit guilty.
"No, no! I could never be mad at you miss Riku!" Daisuke placed his hands on her back.
"Then why can't I be your partner? Who is your partner?" The brown eyed girl looked at him and he bit his lip. 'I can't just tell her that I'm in love with him...'
A tap on the boy's shoulder got their attention. "Dai-chan, wanna work with me?" Riku shot the thief a glare that Daisuke missed and got up.
"Fine, I'll just work with Risa!" She went off to get her sister and Dark looked to his friend for answers.
"Was I…interrupting something, Daisuke?" Dark asked as his violet eyes questioned the redhead. 'M-maybe he belongs with her...I mean, she seems to like him. But Daisuke said that he loved me...h-he wouldn't lie, would he?'
Daisuke saw that something was troubling the purple haired thief and grabbed his hand. "No, Dark…you weren't interrupting anything. I'll be glad to be your partner." Daisuke pulled the older teen down into the seat next to him and smiled at the thief's surprised look.
"Does everyone have a partner? Good. Now with the next subject…we will be doing a play for the festival and would like to know if anyone has any ideas?" talking began and the teacher heard a bunch of titles.
"Let's do a horror!" "No, a comedy!" "Romeo and Juliet?" "No!" Half the class yelled at the last suggestion and the poor teacher sweat dropped.
"I have one!" both Krad and Dark said and the class turned to look.
"What are your ideas, Mr. Mousey, Mr. Hikari?" the teacher asked, taking a piece of chalk and walking over to the blackboard.
"Well, I was thinking that we should do a comedic romance. Something different, you know?" Dark started and Krad nodded as he continued. "Maybe something like A Mid Summer's Night Dreams. It is a romantic comedy."
"I like that." The teacher said with a grin. "We can do it like it was last year, all the boys will play the parts!" The girls yelled in delight and the boys whimpered as they were once again forced to do both girl and boy roles…
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Okay class is now over so go home and get your projects done! And don't forget to grab a copy of the script and see what parts you want." The bell rang and the teacher ran like there was no tomorrow.
"Sooo, what part do you want?" Dark asked, wrapping an arm around the boy.
"Dark, people are watching us." Dark let go and walked beside him. "Why did you pick that anyways? I mean, it's a romance…"
"Hey, Krad picked it, I just gave the requirements." The thief said. Daisuke looked at him for a bit before he heard someone calling him. He turned to see Riku and Risa walking towards them. "Uh-oh…trouble."
"Hi there." He said. He noticed that Dark had moved closer to him and had a firm grip on his wrist. "What's up?"
"Are you busy today or can you come with me to this new art store? It would be fun." She said, giving a friendly smile. Dark tightened his grip but was careful not to hurt the boy.
"Yeah, and Dark-kun can come with me to wait for you at our house." Risa chirped in.
"Sorry, I'd love to go but my mom wants us back before six and it's already five. Maybe tomorrow." The two turned to leave and met up with Satoshi and Krad at the gate. Riku sighed and walked home with her sister.
"What if…no, it's because of that stupid thief…now Daisuke cares about him. But is it more than just a friendship?"
koway: kay, that's all for chapter 21. I know that the school is crazy for giving all that stuff in one week but that's how it is…thank you for all the reviews and can anyone else see a bit of jealousy in Dark?
