From the previous chapter…"HOW CAN YOU LOSE TO ONE UNIDENTIFIED BOY!" Emiko screamed in between sobs.
"Gomen Okaa-san! Keep quiet before the neighbours hears you!
"Let them! Dark has fallen!" Emiko continued.
"AHHH!" Daisuke yelled in horror as Emiko blew snot right on the sleeves of his arm.

Crème stood solemnly on the roof of the building. She looked up at the night sky. She has now regretted choosing a hard path. If only she had stayed beside her mother. It wouldn't have hurt this much.
Crème sat up and sighed. The fight might continue longer and she didn't know when it would end…
Chapter 9…Daisuke sigh as he looked outside the window. Just yesterday, he found out a terrible secret, someone he knew, someone he had considered as a friend had all along been his enemy. Is this counted as backstabbing? Or maybe, just maybe, Riles knew that Daisuke is Dark. Or maybe, Riles knew that Daisuke didn't know that he knew that Daisuke was Dark. Okay, everything goes topsy turvy. Daisuke shook his head to get rid of all the confusing things that made him confused. He looked down to the road, which were filled with people. Couples to be exact. He sighed again. If all this gibberish about going around the world didn't happen, he might have been walking beside Riku in a lovely park full of trees, nah, he would rather save that for the Cherry Blossom Festival, how bout just swaying in a boat in the middle of a beautiful lake? Nah, It's not easy to find a lake that's peaceful. Ok, just probably going to a restaurant with Riku is nice. Yeah! Maybe a funfair!
Daisuke snapped himself from his daydream and continued to look outside. He felt a longing for some hot chocolate with marshmallows when he saw a café with big bright letters on it Café d'Itchan (A/N Hey, I need to come out sometimes right? And some respect as an author). Okay, He'll go there! Daisuke grabbed his jacket and stepped into his shoes. He walked out of his apartment and headed down the stairs. He didn't feel like using the lift. He wanted to take his own sweet time.
Daisuke crossed the street cautiously and headed towards the coffee shop. As soon as he stepped into Café d'Itchan, warm air seeped through his jacket and into his skin. Daisuke walked to the counter and looked at the menu. He quickly made his choice and took out his wallet to pay. Unexpectedly, a hand went past him and paid for him, adding another hot chocolate to the menu. Daisuke turned to look at the person who was treating him. His eye met with a silver haired boy and next to him was a girl with long brownish black hair. Okay, he got a grip and took a deep breath.
"Two more hot chocolate," Riles ordered and paid.
"Riles-kun…" Daisuke said, startled. This was the time he had not longed for. The time he would meet Riles again and what? Would Riles know about Daisuke's hidden identity? The other one inside of him.
"Riles, I'll carry it. You go and get a place," Nana said and pushed Riles away, having time to smirk at Daisuke.
Daisuke glared back at her. He couldn't stand Nana already. She was a back stabber, a traitor, a person who he had trusted. He- Daisuke was dragged by Riles to a seat at the corner. They sat down, leaving 2 empty spaces. Riles sighed and looked at Daisuke.
"She's just a friend," Riles blurted out.
"Eh? Did you think I was thinking that you had a relationship with her?" Daisuke yelled out.
"Who knows? I don't get along well with her. She hides too many things from me," Riles looked at nana's direction.
"So why don't we change the topic since you hate her so much," Daisuke forced out a giggle.
"Cause I want you to help me," Riles said simply.
"Eh? What do you mean?" Daisuke asked.
"Okay, I trust you completely to tell you this," Riles closed the gap between him and Daisuke, "I'm after Darks identity."
"What!" Daisuke acted to be startled but he was actually relieved. So, Nana has been keeping his identity secret. Thank god!
"Yes, That girl there won't tell me not a single information so I'm asking you to help me take some information out of her," Riles explained, whispering as softly as he could while glancing at Nana.
"No, I decline this kind of thing cause I don't get along with girls," Daisuke smiled awkwardly.
A tray slammed down between them, surprising the two boys. Both looked up to see Nana smiling happily.
"3 hot chocolates, ordered and served," Nana smiled, obviously using it as a mask to hide her annoyance of people gossiping about her.
Riles frowned and stood up.
"I'm gonna wash my hands a bit," Riles said and headed to the toilet. He looked back and threw a wink at Daisuke.
Daisuke sighed. He knew what's going to happen and it's going to be VERY complicated.
Nana got hold of one of the mugs and stirred slowly while staring blankly at it. Daisuke got hold of his mug and did the same. After a few seconds of silence, Daisuke looked up at Nana and decided to break the awkward silence between them. He wished himself luck and took a deep breath.
"Nana, is it true that you're in a league with Riles?" Daisuke asked.
"Yep," Nana answered casually, sipping her hot chocolate and quickly withdrew from it's hotness.
"Then… You didn't tell his about my identity?" Daisuke asked.
Nana looked up and stared at Daisuke. "I… I told you, I'm still your friend," Nana continued staring at her 'Beautiful' cylindrical mug.
"Th-thanks…" Daisuke mumbled and started sipping his hot chocolate.
"If I did, tell him that you are actually Dark…" Nana slowly said, "What do you think he would do?"
"I don't know. But… how are you sure he doesn't know me? Maybe he DOES and is trying to trick us?"
"I know he doesn't. If he finds out, he will surely immediately attack you. He isn't the type that will hold back,"
Daisuke gulped and took a deep breath for the next question.
"Honestly, I want to know which side you are on…" Daisuke asked, staring at Nana seriously.
Nana looked back at him and cocked an eyebrow. She smiled sadly and answered.
"You and Dark. Both aren't the same person right?" Nana waited for a nod and she got it, " Because of that, I treat you differently. I'm an enemy to Dark, a friend to you. Simple right?"
"That's… BUT if you hurt Dark, it's the same as hurting me right!" Daisuke fought back.
"Then that means if Dark hurts me, it means your hurting me too right?" Nana replied remembering the day that Dark had RUINED her life. "AND that means if Dark kisses someone, It's the same as you kissing that person right?"
"But Dark did nothing to you!" Daisuke yelled.
"He did! Something that broke my heart to pieces," Nana yelled back.
"My my, aren't we having a lively talk here…" Riles appeared between them, the customers behind him staring at the two people who were squabbling.
Nana and Daisuke blushed and sat down quietly. Riles sat down beside Nana and took his mug. Nana looked at Riles from the corner of her eyes. Nana opened her mouth.
"Riles, which part of our conversation did you listen to?" Nana asked.
"Hn? Lesse… since the 'He did' part," Riles said and smiled at Nana, "Were you two talking about Dark?"
"Oh, okay, that's not so long. Yeah, we were," Nana said.
Riles glanced at Daisuke and grinned happily. Daisuke just looked down and shook his head which got a frown from Riles.
"Both of you are talking body language aren't you?" Nana asked suspiciously.
"It's a man talk," Riles said immediately.
"Like what?"
"Do you WANT to know," Riles asked, smirking.
"Err… never mind…" Nana replied.
"Heh, what are you thinking of huh?" Riles teased.
"Nothing!" Nana replied with a blush. She will never exposed what her thoughts had taught her.
"Ehhhhhh, you are not thinking about-" Riles continued torturing but was cut short.
"I said N-O-T-H-I-N-G," Nana stomped off in rage.
"See, I told you I don't get along with her," Riles sighed.
Daisuke smiled, "I think you get along fine with her."
Riles stared at Daisuke. His teal coloured eyes met with Daisuke's amber red eyes. Riles soft emotionless eyes turned into annoyed eyes.
"Which part of me gets along fine with her?" Riles asked, annoyed.
"Because you two get along together. I mean, you freely talk with her without even caring the consequences. Let's just say you two look comfortable with each other," Daisuke explained.
Riles blushed and slammed his hand on the table. He brought himself to reality.
"This shows that you really don't understand me…" Riles said coldly and walked away.
Daisuke leaned at looked at their mugs. Both empty. He giggled.

'Hmph. What is he thinking? Me? Get along with her? Yeah right! I hate her! I hate her! I ha-' Riles thought but was distracted with what he saw through the glass of the shop. He edged closer and stared at the box. A music box. A box made with silver and glass. Inside, it was covered with red velvet. It was the size of his palm. Just the right oval shape. The carvings around it were simple. Not too eye catching, but the price was VERY eye catching. A price that only a millionaire can buy.
Riles sighed and continued his journey. His journey to the next museum that marked his target.
Brrrrr…… .Brrr………Riles looked around and patted his pocket. It was his hand phone. He picked it up and answered with a "What do you want!"
"Did you get any information about Dark with the boys named Daisuke Niwa?" Nana asked.
"Why do you care?" Riles asked with a sad tone, knowing he didn't gain anything.
"Just wanted to know because, he knows something. I didn't tell him but he knows," Nana explained.
"Huh? He knows what!" Riles asked, shocked by the information.
"He has a connection with what we are doing. That's all," Nana said.
"Don't tell me…" Riles started but was cut. Nana hanged up as if on cue.
"Daisuke is… Krad…" Riles stuttered in shock. The person he has been with easily without knowing it. He trusted Daisuke so much but now, for all he knew, Daisuke might be spying him.
Riles broke into a run. His fear enveloping him. He tripped but he stood up and kept running. He was scared. Scared that another person he had trusted all his life, becomes an enemy of him. Thus, starts his journey of fear.

And uhh… nothing else to say… Anyway, now, Daisuke thinks Riles is Krad, and Riles thinks Daisuke is Krad but… does that mean Riles is Dark? But if Riles is Dark, why is he stopping Dark? OMG!
