AuthorsNote: and here is the next chapter as promised.

Daisuke went back to class feeling miserable. He didn't concentrate at all he just couldn't get the image of Satoshi breaking into tears out of his head. Just hours ago he had looked to the back of the class and caught the young genius sleeping in class. Dark had remained quiet which was unusual but Daisuke at the moment preferred it. He needed time to think things through. He sighed staring at his desk for the longest time until the bell rang. The students filed out of the class. He remained where he sat, he didn't feel like getting up. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Daisuke are you alright?" Riku asked looking at her boyfriend in concern. He had looked depressed for their entire class period. "Did something happen in 6th hour?" She and Daisuke had only one class together and it happened to be the last of the day.
"…It's nothing Riku…" He murmured somberly.
"Daisuke, I know something is wrong. Tell me." She ordered.
"I can't tell you." Daisuke felt her grab his wrist and jerk him up, she dragged him out of the classroom and to the courtyard.
"Ok Daisuke Niwa, you tell me what's going on!" She was so forceful sometimes, Daisuke had to obey or pay the consequences. He swallowed trying to think of what to tell her.
"Well…Satoshi and I…we…uh…had a… fight." That really was the best term to describe what had happened.
"Oh Daisuke…don't let that get to you. I'm sure everything will be just fine." Riku reassured.
"I don't think so."
"Daisuke…" She kissed his cheek. "I'm sure things will work out…what was the fight about."
"Um…just stuff." Riku raised an eyebrow questioningly but got the hint he didn't want to talk about it.
"Come on, let's get out of here and go do something to get your mind of it." She grabbed his hand and led him down the road; they were heading for the park. After that party Riku had realized really how little her and Daisuke had done in their relationship. They really hadn't done anything to make it more serious, and she was concerned that she would loose him to more "active" girl. She couldn't allow that to happen.
They arrived at the park; it was large with many trees and clean cut green grass. There was a playground for the kids and benches placed here and there for people to sit. They found an empty bench beneath a tree and sat down on it. Daisuke just stared at the ground.
"There isn't this a better?" Riku asked him.
"Yeah…I guess." He sighed and glanced up at her then smiled a slightly. "Thanks Riku."
"For what Daisuke?"
"Just being here for me."
"That's what I'm here for." She replied quietly. They sat there in silence just enjoying the calm atmosphere around them. Daisuke eventually stood up said his goodbye, they hugged and he was on his way home. It was going on 4:00 and his mother would be getting worried. It was while walking along the road in solitude Dark finally spoke up.
(We may have a big problem Daisuke.)
"What? Dark!" Daisuke hadn't expected the thief to speak so suddenly. "W…What do you mean we have a problem?" He asked once his brain had registered what Dark had said.
(You really hurt creepy boy's feelings back there. That may encourage him to capture me.)
"Is thieving all you think about?" Daisuke questioned.
(Hey I'm just warning you. Hurt turns to anger, anger to hatred, and hatred to revenge. Hiwatari is not the type of guy to let something like what happened, go very easily. Plus he has psycho sadistic homicidal Krad sharing his body, we are in a very tight spot Daisuke.)
"Well what would you have done? You're sitting there eating lunch with your friend when he just out of blue kisses you? I panicked ok!"
(I understand that Daisuke, but I'm just saying I don't you're choice of words were the best.)
"How do you mean?"
Flashback
"I don't like you…and now I don't even think I can fathom being your friend…It's…It's…too awkward."
"…Please…" Satoshi's eyes welled with tears as he felt his heart break. "…We can still be friends…"
"I can't not after what happened."
End Flashback
"I…I just panicked!" Daisuke tried to defend. "I was scared."
(I'm not sure that's the case Dai…" Dark hinted. (You liked what you and Satoshi did at your birthday.)
"What! NO Dark!"
(Then why did you allow him to do it?)
"I don't know! Alright! I was just in such shock that he was doing it that I didn't really realize until…it was over." Daisuke murmured.
(Daisuke) Dark sighed. (It's time you realized what you're feelings are.)
"What are you trying to say Dark? That I'm secretly in love with Hiwatari because I let him touch me?"
(I never said that I'm just saying maybe; the love you feel for people, really is not love at all just a deep caring.)
"Oh so this is about Riku now?" Daisuke asked angrily, Dark had been bringing her up more often and Daisuke had begun to get sick of it. "You just don't like her do you?"
(Hey I'm just telling you that maybe she is not.) Dark was interrupted.
"My Sacred Maiden." Daisuke finished. "And just what gives you that idea."
(Well for one thing…I'm still here.) Daisuke didn't have a response, after all he was right. The Niwa curse would be lifted once the one they truly loved returned their affections. No it wasn't right, there was no one else for Daisuke but Riku, he refused to believe that she was not his Sacred Maiden. She just hadn't realized her true affections for him. At least he hoped.
Daisuke sighed trying to push it to the back of his mind so he could concentrate on other things. He walked along the sidewalk staring down at the cracks in the cement. Things has become so complicated, all because Saehara wanted to play a game.
"I hope Hiwatari will be alright though."
(Well lets think, if Risa had given you false hope that there was a chance between you two and then suddenly going back on it and basically saying you creeped her out. How would you have felt?)
"DARK! Would you stop already I get it!" He sighed. "I'll talk to him tomorrow ok?"
(And if things go bad?) Dark questioned.
"Then…I…I don't know. Let's see how things go tomorrow ok?"
(Alright.) Dark sounded unsure of Daisuke's plan. Even he knew that Satoshi was not one to forgive so easily.
