Deno: Ok, for this fic, Dai and Dark have been separated (obviously) from each other and are in the same class (I know Dark is 3 years older, but just think of him as a REALLY tall student. hehe -sweatdrop-) Thanks for all the reviews :P I'm rather glad you wanted more... to be honest, I don't like sad stories. They make me... sad! -sobs like a two year old- But I wrote chappie 1 at three or four in the morning when I couldn't really function and it came out. A song I was listening to sparked my imagination, though I'm not telling you what song. It's embarrassing! -sweatdrop- Ok, on to the story... although, I'm not sure if Dark will make it in time... hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!

-Receives strange stares-

Deno: What? Whatever... Someone do the declaimer... I'm kinda scaring myself...

Diasuke: She owns nothing of D.N. Angel... but that look in her eyes makes me think she wants me...

Deno: THAT'S NOT IT! You're supposed to be under water right now! That's why I'm staring... (Although I do want you...)

Diasuke: But, Deno! -whines- I couldn't breathe...

Deno: That's the point! Whatever...

P.S.

Bold & Italic-flash back

Just Italic-thoughts

When in flash back, just bold means thought

Deno: Hope that's not too confusing… here is chapter 2 of High Tide...

---------

'It doesn't make sense... I know I don't get the best grades, and I ask for Dai's help, but I don't want to cheat from him. I wonder why he would do that?'

Dark thought back to the events for the day. Daisuke's odd behavior had started after school earlier...

"Hey, Dark!" Daisuke ran up to his used-to-be other half and smiled brightly.

"Hi, Dai." Dark had to smirk at the always happy boy falling into step with him.

"Can you believe our teacher gave us soooo much homework?"

Dark sighed. "I know... it will take my whole weekend to finish it all...," Dark looked thoughtful, stopped walking, and turned to Diasuke. "I'm sorry Dai...," Dark said in a sad voice.

"Why?" Daisuke also turned to face his companion, cocking his head in confusion as he ask his question.

"I... well, we, uh... won't be able to hang out this weekend..." Dark really didn't like being away from his lov- I mean... other half! Yeah, other half! "I'll be swamped...," Not being able to see his companion all weekend would be hard, and the feeling it left was unsettling. Why did he feel this way about this host and none of the others he had had?

Dark mentally slapped himself. Duh! Riku had finally confessed her love to Daisuke, but instead of disappearing until the new generation of the Niwa family had come, Dark had become his own person, separate from the crimson-eyed wonder that was Daisuke. It had never happened before, but Daisuke's grandfather thought it might have something to do with the fact that Daisuke had simply stopped loving Riku. After previous hosts had gotten their 'first love' to return their feelings, they happily forgot about Dark and went on with their new found partner. But no, Daisuke had simply told Riku, with a seriously straight face, he no longer felt that way about her, and let her down as gently as possible (although she still left school in tears that day...).

Her confession had been two months ago, and now Dark was settled into a small apartment (with the help of the Niwa's), loving life and school... with Daisuke. In the two months he had been around Daisuke, Dark had begun to appreciate the smaller boy more than ever now that he could have civil conversations starring into those gorgeous red-hughed eyes. An idea had suddenly formed in his head.

"Hey, Dai?"

"Yeah, Dark?" The two boys had again begun their trek to their homes.

"How about I stay at your house this weekend? We can help each other with our homework to get it done faster," Everyone knows I could use the help... "Maybe we'll get some free time together if we work fast enough..."

A huge smile played across Daisuke's cherry lips. Dark was making this so easy for him! He had that precious letter tucked away safely in his backpack. With Dark over, he could discretely hand it to him and slip out of the room to watch his reaction to it all from a distance.

"Ok, Dark, you can stay over this weekend. I'm sure mom won't mind," a smile tugged at Darks lips, "and I know you could use my help with your homework..."

"Hey, I resent that...!"

"and if you are planning to stay over, you better hurry and get your clothes packed and come over. There's going to be a really bad storm later..."

The boys parted their separate ways, but not before Dark promised to hurry to Dai'shomeafter getting his things for the sleepover.

Deno: Hey all! How was it? The rest of the flash back will be up soon, hehe... It's 2:00 in the morning so I'm stopping for now. I stayed up all last night and only slept for about 30 min. earlier, and I've been sleep deprived for the past week... don't ask! .:cough:.school.:cough:. ANYWAY, I've decided to now talk to my reviewers. YOU'RE ALL SOOOOOOO AWSOME! I LUVERS YOU ALL! -glomps in big group hug-

DarksSacredMaiden: I'll keep you in suspense now hahahahahaha!

the-freak-on-your-block: I agree with you... DAISUKE'S TOO CUTE TO DIE! I luvers him! -snuggles Daisuke-

darkest moon: I'm really sorry, -sweatdrop- but I have only read a few of the D.N. Angel mangas and I've only seen episode seven of the anime, but that's all... I know I should have waited to learn more about it, but I love Dai & Dark too much to hold it back! I'm sorry! I'm like, a really lame author, I know... Please don't hurt me...! Sorry... but you can fill me in if you want! I don't get an allowance or anything and my parents aren't the richest, but me and my sis buy manga and stuff whenever we can... please except my fresh baked cookie...

Phantom Fox: Your stare scares me... j/k! Sorry about making you guys wait to see what happens to Dai, but I thought it would make more sense for everyone to know what happen, ya know, make it more clear...

D.N.Angel lover: I feel bad, but now that it's not a one-shot, I hope it's still slightly poetic -weak, nervous laugh- The first chappie really just flowed from me. I have to be honest, it was CREEPY. At 3-4 in the morning, no less. I still find it strange the way it came from me... -ponders-

DragonGirl108: Lol! Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I hope I don't disappoint you...

animegurl088: Thankies! I appreciate it!

i-loove-anime11: I'm glad everyone thinks likes it :3 I like it, too!((Burt: Don't gloat! You're not out of the water yet...) --- No Dai pun intented)

AbyxtOfLoki: Ha, ha! It's ok, laugh all you want. I wasn't sure what to have Dai mix his letter up with, that was the only problem I had with chappie 1. After almost fizzling out my brain, I wrote homework. I meant to think of something different in the morning, but forgot and put it on but now I have to say, it made my 2 chappie easier :D

AnimeFaery: o.0 That's what story/author alert is for? -smacks head- I'm a total dweeb... Thanks! That makes me flattered (Burt: Again, Deno, stop gloating) I'm NOT! I really am flattered about that, though. I hope I live up to your expectations!

Deno: Well, that's all for now! Stay tuned for part 2 of the flash back! Next chappie will most likely be longer... I've gotta' stop writing sooo late (or early, depending on your opinion...) This one should be ALOT longer, but lack of sleep is wearin' me thin... not that I'm skinny...

Well, read & review please! I hope you all enjoy! And if you don't, and feel like flaming meh, go ahead! I don't care... too tired to comprehend any... more... ZZZZZZZZzzzzzz...
