Chapter 5

Okay… so 5th chapter. Yeah… Started this in French class. That seems to be where I do my best writing… hmmmmm.

Imsorryimsorryimsorryimsorryimsorryimsorryimsorry……… I apologize in advance for the short chapter…

Buuuuuuut…… I'll make the next one EXTRA LONG as a thank you for all the reviews… deal?

Okay now, on to the story:

Daisuke couldn't sleep anymore that morning. He had almost forgotten about school. He changed into his uniform and threw his books in his bag. Running down the stairs, he saw his mom cooking.

"Aren't you gonna have some breakfast, sweetie?" she called.

"No thanks. I'm not… hungry this morning."

He couldn't keep the smile off his face.

"Well, gotta run!" he called, rushing out the door.

Emiko narrowed her eyes. "I need to talk to Dark."

Daisuke couldn't keep focused in class. His mind kept drifting to the previous night.

Geez Daisuke! Is He all you think about?

Daisuke blushed.

N-no. I just…

Oh, I see all those thoughts you have about him!

He blushed even more.

And some of the things you were thinking while you were kissing him! WOW! I didn't know little Dai even could think like that!

SHUT UP!

Daisuke looked up. All eyes were on him. Only then did he realize that he had yelled out loud. He shrank down in his seat and tried his hardest to be invisible.

When the lunch bell rang, Daisuke jumped up. He was so glad to get out of the classroom. When he got outside, he sat under a tree and looked up at the light coming through the leaves.

"Mind if I join you?"

He jumped at the sound of the smooth voice at his side.

"Oh! Hi Satoshi…" Daisuke sat up straighter as Satoshi slid down beside him. "How've you been?" he asked, the familiar blush spreading down his cheeks.

"Since last night, you mean?" Satoshi asked with a small smile. "Fine."

"That's good." Daisuke gulped.

"How about you?" Satoshi said, lowering his voice and sliding his hand to cover Daisuke's. Daisuke wrapped his fingers around Satoshi's but looked at him in surprise. He didn't think Satoshi would do something like that in public, where everyone could see. Granted, their clasped hands were between them and mostly hidden but still…

He felt Satoshi gently squeeze his hand and shivers traveled up his spine. He felt himself getting lost in those ice-blue eyes. Until…

"HIYA!" Riku and Risa bounced up to them.

He felt Satoshi's hand leave his and had to resist the urge to grab it back again. He already missed the touch…

"We thought you guys looked lonely so we decided to come keep you company." Riku said as she sat down in front of Daisuke. Risa nodded in agreement as she sat down beside her sister. A heavy silence descended. No one knew what to say, but soon the bell rang again, signaling them to go back inside.

Daisuke was so relived to get home that afternoon. I'll finally be able to relax. He thought, approaching the door of his house, but as soon as he got inside, Emiko assaulted him.

"I need to talk to Dark!" she yelled, running to Daisuke and pulling out a picture of Risa. Daisuke braced himself for the change but it didn't come.

Maybe you don't like her anymore… Cause, well, you have Satoshi now.

Hey! Shut up! I… but Daisuke stopped, realizing that Dark was right.

He started to blush.

Hmmm… Dark thought. He pulled up a mental picture of Satoshi and showed it to Daisuke.

Daisuke gasped and fell into the change so quickly that he didn't even know what had happened until he found himself at the back of Dark's mind.

"Ah, Dark! There you are! I need to ask you something." Emiko said, dropping her voice a bit. "Is there something going on between Daisuke and Satoshi?"

"Why would you ask something like that?"

"I saw them kissing this morning."

She WHAT! How… what… why…?

Even Dark was a little shaken by this.

"I saw everything." She continued

Well, not everything… Dark thought.

SHUT UP! Even Daisuke's mental self blushed.

"Well, even if there is something going on, you cant exactly do anything about it can you…" dark said, with a hint of smugness in his voice.

Emiko looked shocked. "So you admit that there's something going on!"

"I never said that." Dark stared evenly into Emiko's eyes. She backed down.

"I have work to do." And with that she turned and walked out pf the room.

Thank you Dark. For standing up for me. Daisuke was a little bit surprised. He didn't know Dark would do something like that, considering how much he disliked Satoshi.

No problem. I may not like the blue-haired little creep but I really think you deserve to be happy.

End Chapter

Well, this is good. Maybe I'm finally getting over my writers block! Nice little conflict scene there. I just HAD to have Dark stand up for everybody's (well, MY) favorite couple!
