Daisuke leaned forward. Satoshi followed suit. Once again, their lips were about half a centimeter apart. They were almost ready to go in for the kiss when…
"What's this?" Riku stormed in.
Daisuke pulled away from Satoshi and got up quickly. "Well, Riku, you see…uhm, what exactly are you doing here?"
"I was bringing Satoshi his notebook he let me borrow yesterday. But maybe I should keep it. I could take some pretty interesting notes about what you two were about to do!" Riku walked over to Daisuke and smacked him across the face. He lay motionless for a few seconds, then opened his eyes and faced Riku. "How could you do this to me?"
Daisuke continued to stare at Riku."Satoshi, could you give us a moment alone?"
"Sure. I'll go get the coffee. Riku, dear, would you like a mug?"
"Yes, I would in fact. I want YOUR mug hanging on my mantle!" Riku stormed out of the door in a tearful rage.
"I guess this means coffee time is over." Satoshi reentered the room carrying a tray of coffee mugs filled with delicious mochas. "Shame. I was really looking forward to the company."
"You're the reason Riku just left me! It's your entire fault! If you had never persuaded me to kiss you, none of this would have ever happened!" Daisuke charged at Satoshi with full force, knocking him backwards into the counter. Satoshi screamed in pain. Daisuke then began punching and kicking at Satoshi, his blows weakening with every strike. Finally, he was merely down to pushing Satoshi, and he fell into the floor, exhausted.
"Dah! You have quite a lot of bottled fury, Daisuke! That will be your downfall!" Satoshi wiped the blood from his face and carried Daisuke into a spare room where he lay him down on the bed.
Riku ran most of the way home. When she reached the front yard, Risa was already outside waiting for her sister's return.
"Risa!" Riku ran and was greeted by a warm, loving hug from Risa "Saehara was right! I pretended to return Satoshi's notebook just like you said, and they were on Satoshi's couch about to" Riku sobbed even more and buried her face into Risa's shoulders.
"Poor, dear. We're not going to let him bring you down! You'll come out on top, I promise you, Riku."
"How are going to do that?" Riku said between sobs.
"Just leave everything to me." Risa said with a wink.
