Chapter 2: Not a dream

Riku woke up with new pajamas on her. "Huh! I just dreamt of something terrible and horrible! Risa, where are you! I need to tell you something." She looked at the jacket she had on. "Hold on, this isn't right… this look's like-" She stopped and realized that it wasn't a dream. "Say it isn't so." She sobbed.

"Riku, it hurts when you don't remember me." He joked and pushed her gently. He took the jacket off of her and looked in the air. He remembered what happened yesterday.

Flash back

"Ugh. Gotta carry Riku somewhere else or else will be suspicious of Daisuke." Dark said and took her to the nearest park. "This'll do." Dark put her down on a bench and watched her as she slept. He took off his jacket and gave it to her. "Sweet dreams."

End of flashback

"You didn't do anything weird while I was sleeping did you!" She trembled as she said those words. She looked at Dark weirdly as if he did something wrong and Dark smirked. "You'll never know." He said in a joking tone. "H-Hey! I want to know!" She said and looked at Dark face to face. Dark felt his ears get hot and looked at Riku's eyes. Instead of saying what Riku wanted to hear, he just brushed some of her hair out of her face and made his face closer to hers. He stopped himself just as he was going to kiss her and looked away.

"Dark?" She looked at him and blushed. Dark continued to face backwards. "Let's get you to school." He said as he picked her up and flew her to school.

Every girl squealed when Riku arrived to school. They crowded around her and started talking. "I wish I was Riku! You went to school with Dark! EEK! What'd he do? Are you guys going out?" Ritsuko said and looked at Riku. She waved her arms up and down in front of her face when she realized that she wasn't paying attention.

"Oh, sorry Ritsuko. I was just daydreaming about something." She sighed. Dark was about to kiss me wasn't he? She felt her face turned red. That means he likes me right! No wait, but I don't like him! At least I don't think so. Her face flushed some more.

Risa suddenly came up to her older sister and looked at her suspiciously. "Nothing weird happened with Dark right?" She said. Riku turned to her and tried not to make a face. "Me and DARK! THE GREAT PHANTOM THIEF! NO WAY! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!" She yelled at Risa. She didn't know her own feelings and confused about them too. She walked to her class and bumped into someone causing her to fall down.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Riku." Her friend, Daisuke Niwa, said and offered a hand. "No, Niwa, it was my fault. I'm sorry." Riku said sadly. She took his hand and took off.

I'm so confused right now! She yelled in her head. She felt feverish and was forced to go home at the first period of class. When she was about to walk home, Dark met her in front of the school gates. "Ready?" Riku was too tired to nod so she just said nothing. "Hold on okay?" He carried her and flew off to the sky. He stopped at the park and put her down.

"Since I'm here, I need to steal something." He put his face closer to hers and rubbed off some of her hair that was in her face. He kissed her passionately and then stopped. "I hope that gets your fever down." Dark said and went under a tree.

Riku, whose face was already red from a fever, just got her face redder. Her ears were turning hot and she couldn't breathe. He took her breathe away. Now, she was even more confused than before.
