Outside her classroom—
"Hey Riku! What's up with the face?"
"Oh nothing really, just a bad day."
"Hey I was thinking of going somewhere after we reach your dorm. Is it alright if we use your car afterwards? I have a surprise for you."
"Oh? What surprise is that?"
"Oh you'll see."
Behind them, Dark stood and eavesdropped. Dark looking daggers at Daisuke's back, who is oblivious to all the curses and bad looks Dark was directing his way.
Dark's POVGod damn him! Damned guy! That ugly bastard owns Riku's heart! Argh! Fucking bastard! Shit!
Both Daisuke and Riku walked together, holding each other's hands.
Dark following them with his car.
"So Riku, how was your first day?"
"I found it very annoying. There was this guy who kept on bothering me all day. That's all."
"Oh……………………you mean, Dark Mousy? The captain of the school's tennis team and who is seeded number 1 in his age group in all of Japan?"
"Ah yeah. How did you know? I thought you weren't all into sports."
"I didn't and I'm not. Some college guys just happened to see you playing with Dark and from them I learned just how popular the guy is. They own this family business. A multinational corporation."
Dark's POV (following both Riku and Daisuke while they walked)Oh man. Am I this popular? Even THEY talk about me. AWWWW… I feel very touched.
"Oh really?"
"You never knew either?"
"I was really only interested with his tennis skills. I know him because I've heard of his tennis skills and since that day I have this burning urge to defeat him."
"Oh? Are you sure that's all?"
"Well yeah. What do you expect me to say?" Riku asked gently, kind of knowing that Daisuke's doubting her for some odd reason that she did not know why.
"Well, I mean you know…uh…well, he's a good looking guy….he's very popular among the girls…"
"SO? Your point?"
"He's in a lot of sports clubs…he's soo good in every single sport there is..he's always a valued player…."
"Ahuh…."
"He's rich….he's got everything…and he CAN get anything…….and."
"Daisuke. YOUR point?"
"I'm not."
"What?"
"I'm nothing compared to him. He's everything that any guy would wish to be. He's got good looks, athleticism, and money! He CAN get whatever he wants! And he clearly WANTS you Riku, don't you see it?"
Dark's POVWhoa. This guy is comparing me to himself. But hey it's true though, every single one of it. Haha. Too bad, I got it and you don't.ooooooooooh! and damn right I want RIKU! And I will have her!
"But he won't have me! He won't ever! How can you be so sure that he will?"
"How can you be so sure that he won't?"
"Because…..because..I won't let him Daisuke…because I love you." Riku replied to Daisuke in such a hushed whisper that Daisuke almost hadn't caught it.
"Oh yeah. Well. Yeah, me too Riku."
Dark's POVOh Riku baby, we'll just have to see about that. I don't give up that easily too! I will have you. I don't care if I hurt your Daisuke. He's my rival and I hate rivalries, so I will end it. You'll see that I will. I always get rid of my rivals after all, why do you think I'm always top ranked?
Damned Guy! And Riku…she did not just say that she loves him! No way in hell! And I thought I was making a big impression! Damn it all! Why is it so fucking hard to fucking make her mine! Fuck fuck fuck
Shit! I never run after a girl, they always run after me! Damn damn damn it all!
I should calm down.
Maybe I should head back and start planning things. Maybe I should start with HARD CORE tennis practices. Yeah, I'll make that as one of my excuses to keep her with me longer and less time with that pathetic guy! Riku does want to be the top ranked woman in Japan in the first place! I should reason that training harder is for her own good.
Yes. This is a good start. Then I shall start planning more.
Yes, she's so worth the chase! And I don't even know why I like her so much! I just met her today for gods sakes! I wonder what hit me…I only saw her running as quickly as she can towards me with that thigh high silver tennis skirt, and her sports shirt…first time I laid eyes on her, she struck me as a HOT BIMBO, and I want her to be my girl. I thought then that she would be the one to ask me out—because that's what all the girls did. At first she apologized, I thought that was sweet, very very sweet. But then she noticed that I was taking pleasure with her taking so much guilt and so I stopped teasing her when she said "Jackass." Of course, she thought I hadn't heard oh yeah but I did. Her attitude is something that I don't understand. She's unlike the many girls I've met before so to me she's real, new and refreshing.
I still thought she was going to ask me to start going out with her. But her attitude towards me made me think the opposite afterwards. But then I guess that's why I liked her even more! Before, I just thought that she's sooo hot! But heh. Her personality makes it the more interesting. Makes this challenge exhilarating.
Maybe this chase will be fun after all.
YOU WILL BE MINE RIKU HARADA!
With that, Dark started to head home to come up with more ingenious plans to make Riku fall in love with him, as he unexpectedly fell in love with her.
Riku's garage—
"So where are we headed Daisuke?"
"Heh. You'll see."
After about 35 minutes of driving, Daisuke had told Riku to stop the car for they had reached their destination. It was a breathtaking sight for Riku, there were a gazebo by the seashore, inside it—there was all silver and red which complimented each other greatly. The flowers, the utensils, the tablecloth, the chairs, the balloons, the chocolates, and everything else looked very elegant. There were a couple of musicians who are playing very soothing songs that complimented the breathtaking scenery, just a little bit to the right—outside of the gazebo. There were also 2 people in their chef uniforms standing on the left side of the gazebo. A guy in a waiter uniform came up to them and guided them to their respectful seats.
"Daisuke…did you arrange all this for me?"
"Yes. Just to show how much I love you….Riku." He told her just as everyone else around them was doing whatever it was that they had to and all so oblivious to the other two, in their minds only thinking that they should give their best service since they are being paid for and not very cheaply at that.
"Daisuke, I know that already, so you didn't have to do all this for me you know. Don't waste your money on me."
"Well, I wanted to show you just how special you are to me, and I would waste all the money in the world just for you. You are the only person in my heart, and if I lose you—I just know that I wouldn't be able to bear it."
"Well, I love you very much too and you are in my heart, so be rest assured that you will never ever lose me." She replied, taking his hand and intertwining it with hers. "Please believe me." She smiled sweetly at him.
"I believe you and I trust you. It's other people that I don't trust Riku. I don't want to ever wake up if I'll just end up seeing you with another guy, because I swear that I won't be able to take it." Daisuke said it looking away from Riku and staring off into the dark vastness of the ocean.
"Madame, here's the menu. Please let me know when you are done selecting the choices you want." The waiter had said, breaking the silence that loomed over the two.
"Oh yes, Thank you kindly."
"And Sir. Here you go."
"Thank you."
"I wouldn't worry myself about anything Daisuke. It's my decision whom to love and my decision stands. I love you and that's that. Nothing or no one will ever change that. Please trust my judgement. I will never trade you for anything especially to someone like Dark, he's a pervert and a fool. Unlike you, who's so smart, sweet, gentle and very kind."
With that, she quickly stood up and went to Daisuke's side. She intertwined both their hands now and she pulled him in for a kiss. Their very first kiss! Riku put every thing that she had felt for Daisuke in that kiss so that he would know just how much she loves him. It was long and passionate, oh yes, and very promising indeed.
When they both let go gasping for breath, she sucked at his earlobe and kissed his neck before smiling very sweetly at him and went back to her own seat.
Oh yes, now he definitely knows what Riku felt for him. All that kisses Riku gave him made all the worries go away, he stopped thinking and just tried to store in his brain what it felt like.
Daisuke's POV
Damn, I hadn't anticipated this. I mean this was way better than what I had thought things will turn out like! A billion times way better! Oh man, damned oxygen! If we never needed oxygen in the first place maybe, she wouldn't have stopped kissing me! Damned OXYGEN! She could be kissing me forever!
What the hell am I thinking? All my thought process are so irrational right now. Man, it effects me that much huh…maybe this is what Takeshi calls "mind blowing". When she kissed one of my sensitive spots, my earlobe—hell did that set me off! The kiss on my neck was just mind blowing too! I thought I was going to die! I felt so much like in heaven! Riku would definitely kill me if she knew that I was thinking all dirty there for a second…What if there were only the two of us? Could we have taken this to the next step? But no, I'm not some sicko, I'm not perverted and I love Riku! I shouldn't be thinking about this!
"Here you go madame." The waiter had said as he was setting down the sizzling hot plates that Riku had ordered a couple minutes ago on the table.
"Thank you."
"Here you go sir."
"Oh yes, thank you."
"So Daisuke, I was wondering….will you go out with me?" Riku asked him shyly since she's not used to asking anyone out.
Riku's POVBut this is Daisuke for gods sakes! It would've taken him a century when I'm all but nothing…just dust in the dirt of the Earth. So I better ask him out, or we'll both never officially go out. It's now or never!
"Oh. O—Offfff….Off..Of. C—oooouu-rrr-ssseee…"
"Did you say 'Of Course'?"
Daisuke said nothing but nodded his head, he was just simply unable to respond properly. He can't even think. He wasn't able to. He just can't His mind was pure blank.
With that, Riku started eating, but Daisuke started fumbling for something under the table. When he finally got it out from under there—he handed it to Riku, who was simply shocked that there's more surprises coming her way.
She opened the box. She was awestruck simply because of the fact that it's so beautiful and it looked too expensive. She took it to her hands and started examining it further.
It's a simple looking necklace but showed hints of fine craftwork, which looked elegant and very expensive. It's a silver necklace that had a 'DRN' chain and surrounding the 'DRN' was a heart with wings. Suddenly, Daisuke got up and took Riku's hand. She gave Daisuke the necklace and turned around, and pulled her hair up so that Daisuke will be able to put the necklace on her neck.
Daisuke's POVOh my god! I can't believe that we're now official! I can't believe this! I didn't anticipate this either! Is god giving me the bestest of luck or what! Oh he truly must love me!
Oh my gosh I have to put the necklace on her. God, her skin's just so amazing! I just wonder how smooth it is, I want to touch it! Maybe a brush won't hurt? God, what the hell am I thinking! I'm no pervert! I love her!
1 hour later
That one hour, they mainly said sweet nothings to each other.
Outside of Riku's dorm……….
"Hey Daisuke, thank you for everything that you did for me tonight. It was so amazing. I felt so special. I felt so pretty and loved. Thank you very much. This night is very awesome! It was like I was in a magnificent dream—to bad it had to end. Thank you for the necklace and everything! I love you."
"You're very welcome! Anytime. I did it because you are the most special and prettiest woman I have ever met in my life! And you always will remain to be that person. Always. Especially now that I have you all to myself. Just mine."
"Yes. All yours and no one else's. I was wondering…what does 'DRN' mean?" she asked him as she was fiddling with it.
"Why, good question! It means Daisuke Riku Niwa. I mean just imagine, one day when you become my wife (in approximately 4 years from now) You'll be referred to as Mrs. Daisuke Niwa. But anyways, it's a necklace especially made for you so that for now I could pretend that you are just that! But in a couple more years, maybe you'll be just that! OH and it's a sign that you're mine and no one else's just what I said for the hundredth time tonight…."
"I see. Now it makes sense." She said giving him her very utmost smile. "Oh by the way Daisuke, we're both going to be sleeping very late tonight if not at all…because we both didn't start on our homework yet. Heh. Maybe it's a punishment worth all the happiness you gave me today! You made me very happy! Once again, thank you. Have a good night!" She said as she gave him one last kiss on the lips.
"Yes. Good night. Thank you for having me in your life. Go on, go inside, I'll wait here until you're safely inside. I'll see you tomorrow." He said feeling happy that he had accomplished something today! Probably the most if not one of the wonderful things that he might ever accomplish in his whole life! And that is to win RIKU's heart wholely…………..entirely……HIS.
