Chapter 2: New Acquaintances

The device of doom ticked louder and louder, like a bomb waiting to go off. It was a cruel thing to do, yet it did not relent. Its feature-less face showed no emotion as its hands drew closer and closer together. With tried to stop it, he really did, but to no avail…

RRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Daisuke groaned and flailed helplessly before he rolled over on poor With. What a way to repay a would-have-been heroic deed.

"KYUUUU!"

That woke him up.

"Oh sorry With!" Daisuke said, quickly rolling off him.

--OI! Keep it down there! --

-Gah! Dark! You're supposed to be asleep!-

In his surprise, Daisuke managed to fall off his bed AND knock over his painting of Risa Harada, former crush. In the Niwa family dictionary, supposing that there was one, if you looked up the word clumsiness, Daisuke's picture would probably be next to it.

"Owwwwwwwww…" he stopped when he noticed the fallen portrait.

"Harada-san…"

The redhead thought of the day Dark came in to his life, when Risa considered him as a 'friend' only. The day his world turned upside down…

Sighing, he replaced the portrait and went downstairs. No use dwelling on the past.

-----------------------------------------------

"Bye Mom!"

Minutes later, Daisuke dashed out the door, with Emiko leaning out the window calling out,

"Don't forget to get back by 4:30pm! I've got something important to tell you!"

As Daisuke ran towards the train station, he turned his attention to his alter-ego.

-Hey Dark-

--Leave me alone--

Not giving up, Daisuke prodded him again.

-WAKE UP DARK!-

--(grumble)--

Hit by sudden inspiration, Daisuke suddenly grinned cheekily, causing people around him to stare. He thought of his alarm clock, ringing madly, and sent it to Dark.

-RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!-

-- WHAT THE HELL! THAT WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR! IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR SLEEP? YOU WANTED ME TO SLEEP AND NOW YOUR TRYING TO WAKE ME UP! MAKE UP YOUR M- --

The redhead cut off the ranting Dark.

-Hey. Did you hear what Mom said?-

--YOU COULD HAVE JUST- What? Ohhhhhhhhh. That thing. –

-Well? Wonder what she meant huh? Maybe its another job.-

-- I doubt it. Well, there might be a job tonight but that's not likely to be it. To Emiko, a job is more in the exciting category than the important category.—

The Kaitou seemed bored, as if the subject didn't interest him at all.

-But what could it be?-

The boy seemed concerned as he pondered the mysterious behaviour of his mom.

Dark on the other hand though…

--Don't worry about it. Knowing Emiko, it's probably something minor. -- The Thief yawned loudly. -- Oh well, I'm going to sleep. Don't wake me until after school. --

Instantly, Daisuke's head was filled with loud snores. Shaking his head in a good natured way, he smiled and continued his way to school.

-------------------------------------------

Satoshi Hiwatari sat at the back of the classroom and watched as Niwa walked in. His eyes narrowed, wondering if he had noticed the strange occurrence last night.

.:Why do you care so much about the enemy:.

The sound alone of the so-called angel's cold, heartless voice was enough to make Satoshi shiver. And it took a lot to unsettle Satoshi.

:That's cause I'm not homicidal like you, you sadist of a bastard:

.:Why Satoshi-sama, I'm hurt. Why must you say such cruel things:.

Satoshi knew Krad was playing with him so he chose to ignore him. Anyway, any long conversation with Krad, his alter-ego you could say, always somehow ended about Krad getting his hands on Dark and Daisuke and err, killing them brutally.

His mind drifted back to Niwa. He ought to tell the redhead. But will he?

--------------------------------------------

The redhead flopped down on the chair and let out a huge sigh of relief. How lucky that his teacher was even later than him.

The door opened at that moment and the class looked up expectantly, but it wasn't the teacher they saw. Instead it was a short girl with ebony black hair so long it reached her knees, covering her like a shawl. Her mystical grey eyes seem to watch everybody as she sat down in the empty seat next to Daisuke.

She turned to him and seemingly analysed him with her eyes before saying, in a barely audible voice,

"The spirits await you. Help, before it's too late."

With that, she turned away.


So what do you think? Please R&R so I know if it's good or not.
