Chapter 13

Love Is Something You Would Cherish Forever…

Written by Itchan

From the previous chapter…

Daisuke glanced at the painting. A big gleaming full moon was reflected in a beautiful lake, together with the silhouettes of the trees. Daisuke smiled softly looking at the painting. He entered his room and looked out of the balcony. Sure enough, there was a bright full moon. He rested his head on his arm which was folded on the banister. He smiled and closed his eyes.

"Riku-san, I'm fine. How about you? I hope you aren't still mourning over me. I'm sure I'll comeback soon. Trust me…" Daisuke whispered.

The cool breeze lulled him and lay under the shine of the moonlight for sometime till he entered his room and started packing his bag.

Chapter 13…

"Daisuke! Let's go to the library again!" Merissa called out.

A week has passed and Merissa loved to hang out with Daisuke, Nana and of course, Riles.

"Huh?" Daisuke looked up from his locker, "Yeah, sure!" he smiled.

"Where's Nana?" Merissa looked around as Daisuke locked his locker.

"She went to meets Riles. She had something to tell him," Daisuke explained.

Merissa frowned jealously.

"Can't they talk afterwards?" Merissa grumbled.

"It's private they said," Daisuke said. He was hinting that they were planning a trap for them.

"Could Nana be…" Merissa blushed. She was hinting that Nana was going to confess.

"Let's wait for them outside," Daisuke gestured.

"Uh? Sure," Merissa followed.

"Daisuke! Were you waiting long!" Nana waved.

Riles followed behind her, smiling. Merissa felt jealousy overcoming her. Why was Riles smiling? Could he have… accepted Nana's confession?

"We didn't wait long," Daisuke replied.

"What's the matter Meris?" Nana poked Merissa's nose. The two girls had gotten closer and started calling short names at each other.

"Don't touch me!" Merissa slapped Nana's hand away.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Nana asked, retreating her hand quickly.

"Hey, what's going on?' Riles and Daisuke came to the rescue at once, "Why'd you slap her?" Daisuke examined Nana's hand.

"It's okay Daisuke," Nana said.

"Of course it's okay. You're a monster so of course it won't hurt," Riles commented.

"What!" Nana quickly reacted, punching Riles.

Merissa couldn't stand it.

"I hate you!" Merissa yelled, catching the attention of people.

"Huh?" Nana responded and pointed to herself. "Me?" She muttered, shocked.

"Yes you! You are… you are… you are a BITCH!" Merissa turned and ran, fighting back the tears that threatened to come out.

"EH? MERISSA! WAIT!" Nana ran after Merissa.

"Nana-chan!" Daisuke started to ran but was stopped by Riles.

"Leave them. I'm sure it's a girls problem," Riles said.

"But what did Nana do to Merissa? Have you ever seen her talk to Merissa without me?

"No, of course not. How bout you?" Riles questioned back.

"No, Nana's always with me except when we're going home," Daisuke replied, sure with his answer. "In school, we only have 2 different classes. In both the classes, I sit near Merissa so I'm sure there's no way Nana had argued with Merissa," Diasuke explained.

"I'll send a message to Nana. I'll ask her to meet us in the library after they finish their business," Riles took out his hand phone.

"Use mine. I don't use my hand phone much anyway," Daisuke took out his hand phone.

"Okay," Riles said, unlocking the phone. He sent a message and the two were off to the library.

"Merissa! Wait up!" Nana ran after Merissa.

Nana, being trained and athletic reached Merissa quite easily. She twirled Merissa and shook her by the shoulders.

"What's wrong!" Nana yelled at Merissa.

She saw the tears streaming from Merissa's eyes and how hard Merissa was trying to stop them from falling.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Nana asked softly.

"Don't touch me!" Merissa yelled, pushing Nana away. She rubbed her tears away using her sleeves and glared at Nana.

"I hate you!" Merissa yelled, full of confidence.

"What did I do wrong to you!" Nana asked, impatient to get an answer.

"You… you… you flirt with everyone! Not only Daisuke but Riles too!" Merissa cried.

"Hmm… I've been hinting this but wasn't sure. You like Riles right?" Nana pointed at Merissa.

"Yes! I like him! Even though I just realized today but I love him!" Merissa cried out loud. Suddenly, an unexpected thing happened.

Nana brought Merissa closer and hugged her. Although Nana was shorter, Merissa managed to cry on her shoulders while Nana patted Merissa. When Merissa had calmed down, Nana bought an ice cream and they sat on a bench in the middle of a park.

"You mean… you have no relationship with Riles?" Merissa asked, licking her ice cream.

"What do you think!" Nana laughed, chewing her flake.

"Well… I thought you confessed to him just now and he looked happy… I don't know…" Merissa blushed.

"Don't worry. To me, he's just a friend who's a jerk. I only get along with him because we live toge- OOPS!" Nana had spluttered the actual truth.

"What did you say?" Merissa looked at Nana, shocked.

"Err…" Nana was lost of words.

"You live together with him?" Merissa asked.

"Err… yeah…" Nana mumbled, knowing the truth was out.

"Are you two… having an… af..affair…?" Merissa asked slowly.

"NO! I just live together in the same apartment! I do nothing to him! There's also an adult leaving with us. Well, I guess she can be considered an adult," Nana said, thinking of Morphine who was actually older. MUCH MUCH MUCH older.

"Then… CAN I COME TO YOUR HOUSE!" Merissa asked.

"Err… sure?" Nana answered.

"Really?" Merissa broke into a smile.

"Yeah. Sure," Nana said, "I'll just make a call to Riles to tell where we are. I'm sure he is worried," nana said and took her hand phone out.

1 Message Received

Nana clicked open and read it.

'NO RILES! GO HOME! Tell Morphine to clean up and make her look adult-ish!' Nana replied

Send

Nana sighed and looked at Merissa who was giggling happily while licking her ice cream. Nana smiled softly.

"OH NO!" Riles went to out of the library and dialed.

"Hello?" Nana picked up.

"Nana, What's the matter?" Riles asked.

"Merissa's fine don't worry," Nana said, "Err, wait a minute kay Riles," Nana said and Riles heard her whisper something and as if she's moving the phone around.

"Okay, what?" Nana answered.

"What's happening? You asked me to go back home?" Riles asked.

"Are you still at the library?" Nana asked.

"Yeah," Riles answered.

"Since we're quite near to the library, we'll meet at the library. You and Daisuke wait innocently okay?" Nana said quickly.

"Err… okay…" Riles said.

"Gotta go! Bye!" Nana hanged up.

Riles sighed and closed his hand phone he walked inside in search of Daisuke. He looked aisle by aisle. He found Daisuke at the arts section a few minutes later (Riles was also browsing some books).

"Oi! Daisuke!" Riles called out but tripped.

Daisuke saw Riles fall so he edged backwards but Riles was too close and Daisuke hit his head on the wall while Riles hit Daisuke's head. Hard. Daisuke moaned. Riles pushed his 2 arms from the wall and endured the pain.

A seconds earlier…

Nana and Merissa entered the library and spotted Riles walking from one aisle to another. Nana dragged Merissa to go surprise Riles. When they got to the aisle Riles was in, they saw an unexpected scene.

Riles was kissing Daisuke and Daisuke was moaning. Riles had cornered Daisuke, both of his hands were on the wall, as if forcing.

"RILES WHAt THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!" Nana yelled out loudly.

"Sssshhhhuuuuuuuuusshh!" Everyone in the library went.

"Err… sorry…" Nana apologized and went to hit Riles on the head.

"YOU IDIOT!" Nana said and went back to Merissa. She dragged Merissa out of the library, "Let's go Meris," Nana said angrily.

"Did I see what I think I saw?" Meris asked in confusion!

"Wait! Nana! It was a mistake!" Riles ran out of the library and shouted.

"I don't want to hear it!" Nana said angrily.

"Oh no…" Riles groaned.

"Meris, we're going to your house!" Nana said.

Riles sighed. Now Nana had misunderstood him.

"Excuse me mister, your friend seems to have fainted," Someone tapped on Riles shoulder.

"Huh?" Riles looked behind and his memory snapped, "Daisuke! Err… I'm sorry, I'll carry him home," Riles apologized and went inside.

He examined Daisuke who had a bump on his head and unconscious. Riles carried Daisuke gingerly out of the library, catching everyone's attention.

"Thank you for coming!" The shopkeeper said as Caitlin stepped out of the shop, holding a the 'Newtype USA' copy in her hand.

"Eh?" She noticed a familiar purple uniform. Her school's uniform. And the person was someone she knew.

"Isn't that Riles?" She whispered to herself, remembering the new student in her Physics class. "OH MY GOD!" Caitlin yelled in excitement seeing what Riles was carrying.

To her eyes, an innocent looking Daisuke was comfortably lying in Riles arms while Riles carried him softly, making sure everything was all right.

"Oh My God! Is it really what I see! Oh my god! I just need to take a picture of them! It's just too true to be true!" Caitlin hid inside an alley and focused her slim pen shaped digital camera. She made sure there was no flash and took the pictures.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Eh?" Riles sensed something. He decided to act normal and just capture the person who's spying on him. But he wasn't sure he could handle it with Daisuke in his arms. Daisuke was light, Riles concluded but this is real life. No way can he throw Daisuke up into the air and fight and when he finished, capture Daisuke again. A typical scene in a game he saw once. OH well, at least his leg was free…

Riles walked slowly as he approached the enemy.

Caitlin kept her camera happily in her pocket. She couldn't wait to show her friends this. She started her way out of the alley and was welcomed with a punch. She dodged it clumsily and fell.

"Who are you?" Riles asked coldly. He picked up Daisuke's leg using the hand he used to punch.

"Wait! Wait! I'm your class mate! Remember me!" Caitlin said quickly.

Riles thought for a while.

"Who?" Riles asked.

"I'm Caitlin. Remember? Form Physics class. Mr. Rothward," Caitlin stood and brushed her skirt.

"How would I be sure you are not a spy?" Riles asked.

"SPY! Why would some people spy you? Except probably for Yaoi or Shounen-ai," Caitlin got excited.

"Y-yaoi… Shounen-ai…" Riles didn't understand.

"Oh yeah, you're from France right? Well yaoi in Japanese is Gay and shounen-ai is… GAY!" Caitlin screamed excitedly.

"Isn't that the same thing…" Riles grumbled. He didn't like wasting time.

"Well, Yaoi is like gays doing sex and Shounen-ai is just the love between them," Caitin tried to explain it better.

"Are you saying ME," Riles tried to point at himself using his index fingers, "and HIM?" Riles looked at Daisuke.

"Yes!" Caitlin nodded happily.

"You are weird…" Riles said rudely.

"I'm not weird! If you go to Japan, many people are like this you know!" Caitlin fought back.

Riles stared at Daisuke. Daisuke was a Japanese, does that mean that Daisuke is GAY!

"Oh my god, that lusty look in your eyes! IT just turns me on!" Caitlin squealed excitedly.

"Errr… O…kay…," Riles cocked an eyebrow, "Well, whatever. I'm going," Riles turn to escape the weirdo. (A/N wait… I'm calling MYSELF a weirdo! Though I'm not into Yaoi…)

"Hey! Where are you going! We should know each other better!" Caitlin yelled.

Riles turned his head, "Why?" he asked.

"Well, I wanna get to know that Japanese guy you are carrying," Caitlin pointed at Daisuke.

"…" Riles look at Daisuke and pitied him, "You can follow. But, help me," Riles said and laid Daisuke's feet down. Riles took his and Daisuke's bag off and handed it to Caitlin.

"My pleasure!" Caitlin grabbed Riles's and Daisuke's bag.

Xxxx TO BE CONTINUED xxxx
