The first day back at school, Daisuke sat down in homeroom and took out his notebook. He was about to write an apology note to Riku when he noticed a small trickle of smoke out of the corner of his eye. Out the window and across the courtyard he saw the Science/English building on fire! Riku had English for homeroom! Daisuke sped out of the room without a hall pass and absentmindedly changed to Dark thinking about his beloved Riku.
When he reached the English building he saw cops arresting…Risa! A cop was saying, "We've got you now, Miss Arsonist! You thought you could burn down the school and get out of classes, didn't you!"
"Dark, I know who you are! You're Daisuke! I knew you would always come to Riku's aid! You truly have a good heart and I needed to prove that to Riku! She's the only person you would ever become Dark for! I just wish she knew that!"
"I do." Daisuke whipped around to see Riku standing pain free behind him. "Daisuke, I love you with all of my heart, and it hurt me to see you with Satoshi."
"Riku, you're the only one I could ever love. Satoshi was a mistake, and I vow to never break our love again!"
Daisuke then shared a romantic, deep, warm, long kiss…this time, with the person it was meant for all along.
Meanwhile, watching the two embrace from a second story window, Satoshi realized he had failed yet again. "Drats!" he said.
