We left off with poor, stubborn Riku-chan, going to school when she's sick! And who to rescue her but… Dai-kun! And you thought it was going to be the dashing Dark-kun, yes? (dreamy eyes) Well, anyways, enjoy the chapter!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riku opened her eyes to see she was in her room, lying on her bed. She looked up to see Daisuke at the door of the room. "Hey… I brought you some cocoa," he said, holding a tray with two cups.
"Niwa! How… how do we get here?" she asked, utterly confused. "I brought you here. Don't be so stubborn next time, Ms. Harada. I was really worried," he told her. Riku could not believe what he was telling her. "He was worried… about me…? But… but I'm not the one he…," she thought, and sighed, telling Daisuke, "Thanks, Niwa."
Riku sat up, and took off her wet sweater and scarf, though her uniform was soaked. She looked down to see her backpack soaked too. "Niwa, how did you get out of class?" Riku asked. "I… guess I just got worried. Ms. Harada said you'd be here at school, and when you didn't come… I thought something bad happened to you. Hiwatari helped me out of school, and I know Dark will hate me for finding you," Daisuke explained, looking away, nervously. The girl with short, reddish, brown hair blushed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risa looked outside, quietly, from the library windows. There was a typhoon going on, that would probably wear off near the afternoon. She sighed; Risa wondered where Daisuke was, and hoped Riku was alright.
It was lunch, and everyone had to eat in the cafeteria. Risa didn't feel like eating, so she went to the library to check pout a book. She looked over, and saw someone coming inside the library. It was Satoshi Hiwatari. He merely glanced at her before heading to a shelf next to her, and taking a book or two.
"Hiwatari, have you… seen Niwa? Is he still in the Nurse's Office?" Risa asked hesitantly. "Why would you think that?" he questioned, and headed to the main desk. "Because, wasn't he sick? What's going on!" she demanded, following him. Satoshi got his books checked out, and he looked at her. "This is a library. You should be quiet here," he told her, and left. "What a weirdo! Can't he say anything that makes sense!" she thought in anger.
"Risa," a voice said. She turned to see Dark. "Oh! Hi, Mr. Dark!" Risa exclaimed, blushing, and thinking, "Did he come here to talk… to me?" "Sorry I was harsh on you at the gym the other day," Dark apologized with a smile, "I was just anxious to find Riku." "Oh… umm… that's okay," Risa reassured him. "Mr. Dark… uh… have you seen Niwa by any chance? I haven't seen him all day."
"He ditched school," Dark told her, and turned to leave. "What do you mean Niwa ditched school!" Risa demanded, worried. "Don't sweat, Risa. Daisuke's probably worried about Riku and went to check on her. He won… this time," the purple haired boy explained, and headed to his next class. "Niwa's worried about… Riku…?" she thought.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daisuke looked outside of the balcony windows. "Looks like the typhoon is clearing up," he said, and then looked at his watch, "School's almost over too. Oh well." Riku was about to stand up, when she winced again, the pain on her foot hurt. "Ms. Harada!" Daisuke noticed, and rushed to her. "I'm alright, Niwa," Riku said weakly, and sat on her bed again. "I'm fine. You can go home now." "Are you sure?" he asked, worried.
Riku sighed and smiled. "Don't worry about me, Niwa, but… I'm glad you came for me. Thank you," she told him, blushing. Daisuke blushed, and nodded, leaving. Riku turned to her balcony windows, and slowly walked to the windows and opened it. "It is… clearing up…," she whispered; she then sneezed, and groaned of her sickness.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Daisuke reached his house, he saw someone heading there. "Ms. Harada!" he realized, and ran up to her. "Oh, Niwa, there you are!" Risa said. "I was looking everywhere for you at school. Mr. Dark said you left to tend to Riku. Is that true?" Daisuke blushed. "Kin… da. I mean, I knew how stubborn she can be, so… I went to find her. Her ankle was kind of twisted, and I carried her back to your house," he explained. "Thanks for taking care of my sister, Niwa. I know you'd do the same for me," Risa commented with a smile. "Of course," Daisuke replied, blushing.
"Do you want to come in?" he asked her. "I should at the gym again for the dance committee… but okay. I mean, I really wanted to see you today, and at lunch I got bored, Hiwatari and Mr. Dark were helpful, well, mostly Mr. Dark," Risa mentioned. Daisuke sighed. "I finally can ask Ms. Harada," he thought, smiling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A door bell rang at the Harada Residence. Riku groaned. "It can't be Risa; she has a key. After seeing Niwa today, I don't want to see anymore visitors pitying me," she thought, her forehead hot as she lied on her bed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was actually Dark who had rang the door bell. "Damn… she must be too sick to answer the door…," he thought, worried, "I hope she's okay." He looked around the house to see the patio in the backyard was getting painted, and a ladder sat against the wall of the house. Dark looked up to see a big balcony. "I can't believe I'm doing this, but… I have to see Riku," he decided.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riku suddenly heard shifting sounds from the balcony. She opened the glass door and stepped outside slowly. She noticed that when she was unconscious, Daisuke bandaged her ankle.
Dark suddenly climbed unto the balcony, and faced a confused Riku. "What the…! I knew you were a pervert!" she shouted loudly. "It's not what you think. I was simply worried about you," he told her. "Worried?" Riku asked. "Yeah," Dark said, and noticed her bandaged ankle, "Did you get hurt? What happened? Did that Niwa kid hurt you!" He examined it carefully until Riku kicked him off. "Don't say things like that! Niwa would never do something like that!" she snapped.
Dark stood up. "Yeah, yeah; Niwa this, Niwa that. I'm starting to get annoyed," he mumbled, and headed to the ladder. "Wait!" Riku suddenly shouted. "I… I'm sorry, Dark." "Huh?" he asked, and turned around. "I mean, you came here because you were worried. I should be thankful and everything," she mumbled. "Yeah, you should!" Dark smirked, and Riku glared. "Thank you…," she whispered, looking away.
She looked up to see Dark heading back to the ladder. "You're leaving?" Riku asked, following him. "Yeah; I mean, you might tell I shouldn't be here," Dark mentioned. "Of course; I mean, only thieves and robbers do this kind of thing. How do I know I can trust you, hmm?" she teased, eying him. Dark smiled, and before, he left, he whispered something in her ear. She gasped as he kissed her, and then left. Riku stood there in a daze.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally Dark-kun kissed Riku-chan! Lucky her… well, anyways, Dai-kun still hasn't asked Risa-chan out! He should hurry! RXR, peoples!
