A/N: Hi everyone! I'm glad you guys like this fic so much, it makes me feel all fuzzy inside…!

I've confused everyone now, haven't I? Well to add to the confusion, I've decided to play it a little safer. I'll still be writing, but if you want you can give any suggestions in your review. I'm not telling you to. But if you want to, you can just say who you want on next, but I will be the judge of who will be on The Bench Of Doom (like the new name?).

I suppose a character may go twice… but only one would.

If you do want to suggest, you leave the name of the character who you want to appear next on the bench in your review. Remember, I'm not asking you to do this, and I will be the ultimate chooser!

Did you get that? If you didn't, email me. My address is in my profile.

Rules
1. No yaoi
2. No silly suggestions

Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with DNAngel in this fic, they belong to Yukiru Sugisaki. Miss Kay is mine! And so is The Bench Of Doom! Oh, my lovely bench…

This fic is going to get really messed up with the characters… but you won't mind, will you…? I added up the scores, and I got…

Round 3

"Round 3! Who will be next?" Miss Kay shouted across the class.

Risa looked at her twin. "Riku, you should go."

"Eh?" Riku turned to her, startled. "Why would I want to play a rubbish game like that? No way am I going up there!"

"Yes you will!" Risa argued back.

"No I won't!"

"Yes you will!"

"It's Ok, guys," Daisuke told them in a desperate attempt to get them to calm down.

"That's not how you do it, redhead," Dark said, playfully bashing Daisuke on the head. "Watch me. Riku!"

Riku turned and bent forward to look at him. "Yeah?"

"Closer."

Riku bent further forward.

"Now." Dark bent forward as well, and whispered ever so softly, "I think there's a letter in your bag. Guess who it's from?"

Riku gasped. "Dark!" she cried, realising that he must have put it there. She sat up straight and flung up her hand. "Miss Kay! Can I go check my bag please? It's urgent!"

Miss Kay glanced over. "Is that a volunteer? Well done, Riku. Would you like to come up?"

Riku went pink. "But… but that's not fair…!"

"No buts, Riku. Up you get."

Riku scowled at Dark, and grumpily got up from her chair and went to the front. She then sat down in a huff on the middle of the bench.

"Now, another volunteer please?"

Daisuke blinked. "Dark, you made it worse!"

"At least now she won't argue, idiot," Dark answered. "Wasn't that what you wanted?"

On the bench, Riku's face brightened as she figured out a way to get back at her worst enemy. "Miss Kay," she said.

"Yes?"

Riku motioned with her hand for her teacher to come closer. "Um… Dark got me into this, so do you think you could send him out or something? He's really getting on my nerves."

"Hmm… OK," Miss Kay replied. She straightened. "Dark Mousey?"

Dark raised an eyebrow as he looked to the front. "Miss?"

"Up you get." After a pause, Dark stood. "Now, cone to the front please, so I can talk to you."

He walked over to the teacher, wondering what on Earth was going on. As he passed the girls, he gave them all a huge grin.

Satoshi, in his seat at the back, didn't move a muscle, every thought in his head thinking don't let him get to you.

"What is it, Miss Kay?" Dark asked.

"On special request, you've been asked to receive punishment," Miss Kay began.

"Punishment, miss?"

"Oh yes." Miss Kay face twisted into a smile. "Would you like to play Park Bench again?"

Riku almost jumped out of her seat. "WHAT!" she spluttered.

Both Dark and the teacher ignored her. Dark smirked. "Why, I'd love to." The smirk wouldn't and couldn't leave his face as he sat down quite close and to the left of his opponent, so to speak.

Riku stared first at Dark, and then at Miss Kay. "But… but miss…"

"What did I say? No buts, Riku!" Miss Kay said sternly. "Now, begin!"

Riku immediately moved slightly away from Dark, and said quickly. "Don't you dare do anything dirty, you pervert."

"Who, me?" Dark said innocently, the smirk that was still there betraying his voice. "Why, I would never do something like that!"

Riku quivered a little, but as soon as she noticed she held herself still. "I… I don't know. I don't really trust you."

"But, trust is the most important part of friendship," Dark told her, bending over to her. "Whatever will we do without trust?"

"First of all, you're not my friend," Riku said sharply, moving over little more. "And second of all, it's your own fault I don't trust you. So get lost, OK?"

"Oh but sweet Riku," said Dark, moving closer. He put the arm closest to her on the back of the bench. "I trust you, so it can't be me."

Riku bit her lip. What was that weirdo thinking? "Don't get any closer, Dark!" she warned him.

"Me? I'm not getting closer. You are." The hand on the back of the bench suddenly pushed Riku's shoulder, causing her to topple forward into Dark's chest. "You see? But I understand how you feel."

"Dark! Stop it! I told you not to do that!" Riku put her hands against the back and the seat of the bench, and tried her hardest to push herself back up without intentionally touching him. She had managed to gain her balance when she went straight into the hand that had pushed her down in the first place. Dark simply repeated himself, and Riku went into his chest. Again. "STOP IT!"

"Make me." Dark grinned. Riku was so funny.

"OK then." She shoved violently against his hand, and in one swift movement, slapped him straight across the face.

"RIKU!" shouted almost every girl in the class, including Risa. How could she do that to poor Dark?

For a split-second, Dark looked surprised. But he quickly regained his facial expression – his grin. "Now, now, there was no need for that. I was just—"

SLAP!

"Hang on just a min—"

SLAP!

Dark was retreating backwards along the bench now, and Riku angrily chased him. It seemed she'd wanted to do this for a while.

SLAP!

"That was for when you were followed me home."

SLAP!

"That was for when you cornered me in lunch."

SLAP!

"That was for when you kept watching me in Gym!"

Riku's hand rose again to give him another blow, but to Riku's surprise, Dark caught it in time. His violet hair shadowed his face, hiding his red cheek. He looked up so that Riku could see one of his eyes. "That's so harsh," he said quietly. He bent forward, his grip on her wrist strong enough so that she couldn't move. His face was right next to hers, on the side away from the audience. "How much do I owe you?"

Without a word, he kissed her cheek.

Riku sat there, speechless. As Dark pulled away, she realised what had happened. Dark, already at the end of the bench, tried to move away a bit more in case she slapped her.

And fell off the end.

"And, Riku's the winner!" Riku could hardly hear her teacher shout out that Dark had lost. Then it clicked, and she started to laugh. "Ha!" She pointed a finger at the loser. "You lost! You lost! You lost!"

Dark got from the floor and dusted himself off. He smirked. "The way I see it, I won by miles." He turned and walked back to his seat.

Her hand still pointing, Riku blinked as she watched him go. Then she started to blush. "YOU JERK!" she cried. "YOU STUPID IDIOT!" She almost fell off the bench in her hurry to 'get him back' for it. How dare he kiss her? "You're not getting away with that, Dark!" she shouted at him stubbornly.

"Oh yeah?" Dark answered her, still smirking in amusement. "Watch me!"
