Riku stood there in a daze. She blinked and realized what had happened. "He… he… kissed me…," Riku whispered, and then looked down, in anger. "That… that pervert… will pay…!" Stomping her foot on the floor made a bad mistake for Riku. Unfortunately, that was her left foot, and she screamed, feeling the pain from her ankle. "S… stupid… Dark…," Riku grumbled, her fists tightened.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Welcome home, Daisuke. I see you brought another girlfriend!" his mother, Emiko, teased. "Mom!" Daisuke complained, blushing. Risa laughed.
The youngest Harada went to the kitchen table, to set up her lunch that she had brought for Daisuke and her. "Now we can have our lunch, Niwa," Risa said with a smile. The redhead smiled and nodded.
"Ms. Harada…? I… umm, have a question to ask you…," he started, nervously. "What is it, Niwa?" Risa asked as she ate a sushi. "Would you… go with me… to the dance…?" Daisuke asked her slowly.
Risa was speechless. "Niwa's… asking me to the dance? But I…," she thought. "As friends, of course!" he added quickly. Risa blinked and smiled. "Alright, Niwa; it's a date!" she exclaimed with a smile. Daisuke blushed. "Ms. Harada… she's going to do with me to the dance!" he thought, smiling a tad too happy-like.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the evening, Riku didn't feel like eating. She sat on her bed, in her room, quietly. The older twin was able to hide her bruised foot from her parents, but Risa already knew what had happened. "That jerk… I can't believe he did that… he took my first kiss! Darn, I wanted my first kiss to be with…," she groaned in thought.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Riku?" a voice asked. "It's Risa. Can I come in?" "No," Riku replied. "Hey, this is my room too, you know," Risa said, opening the door. "Fine, whatever," her sister mumbled as Risa closed the door and sat next to her.
"What's wrong?" Risa asked her sister. "Nothing," Riku replied. "Tell me," her sister kept pestering. "If I told you, you'd hate me," was Riku's reply. "I know you were trying to go to school in a fuss. Niwa came and helped you too; he told me," Risa said. "No… it's not that. Never mind… I'm going to sleep. We have school tomorrow, Risa," Riku reminded her and lied on her bed. Risa stood up, and looked through the balcony windows with a sigh.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday. The day before the dance. Azumano Middle School was full of busy students trying to find a date to it.
Riku sat at her seat, waiting for the bell to ring. She was writing in her notebook as Daisuke turned around from his seat. "Ms. Harada, you shouldn't be at school. What if you catch a cold again?" he asked her. "I'm fine, Niwa. My cold went away and my ankle's much better now; don't worry," she reassured him. Both Risa and Daisuke had been pestering her to stay home, but she refused, still angry about a certain "something" that had happened yesterday.
Dark arrived to class fifteen minutes before the bell would ring. He sat over at his seat and smiled at Riku. "What do you want know, pervert!" she demanded, blushing. "Pervert? I don't remember doing anything perverted, Riku," Dark smirked. Riku groaned. "You know exactly what you did! You took my first kiss, you retard!" she shouted, loudly for everyone to hear. Risa gasped, hearing this.
"Riku… is that true?" she asked. Daisuke was even surprised about this. Before Riku could explain, Dark stepped in.
"I just came to visit her after school, and I simply kissed her and left. What the harm in that?" he asked. Riku glared at him. "You snuck into the balcony with the ladder in the patio! You trespassed, idiot! And you even kissed me! You're a retard!" she snapped. "So, you admit twice I did such a thing to you. You must really love me," he smirked at her. Riku stood up, angry.
She was about to shout at the top of her lungs when the bell rang. Dark smiled at her as she sat on her seat, embarrassed of this all. "I can't believe it… Mr. Dark actually kissed Riku…," Risa thought. Daisuke looked at the twin with short, reddish, brown hair with worried eyes. She was looking down at her desk, fuming.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riku walked quietly through the schoolyard during lunch. Several students who weren't in the cafeteria was walking, chatting, and hanging out. She sighed in relief that Dark hadn't found her yet.
"Guess what I heard at class?" one girl smirked. "What? What? Tell me!" another pestered. "I heard Dark kissed one of the Harada twins," she said. "Oh my gosh! Really? Which one?" again the second school girl pestered. "It was the older one. Well, don't mind me saying so, but he has a bad taste in girls," the girl mumbled, shaking her head. "I know…," the other girl agreed in disappointment.
Groaning, Riku couldn't believe that Dark's perverted plot reached everyone's gossip. "Ms. Harada!" Daisuke called, catching up with her. "Niwa? What are you doing here?" she asked. "Don't you have lunch with my sister?" "No," Daisuke replied, "She said she brought enough courage to ask Dark to eat with her, or something like that." He was scratching his head, confused. Riku laughed, and smiled. "That's the Niwa I know. He's kind… and caring. He may look small, but he has a big heart… that's why… that's why I…," she thought happily.
"Come on," Riku said, and held his hand, "Come have lunch with me." She ran off with Daisuke tagging behind. "A… alright… Ms. Harada…!" he agreed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Dark, I… have to ask you something…," Risa said to him at the hallway, nervously, holding her bento box behind her back. Dark turned around with a smile. "Yeah, Risa?" he asked. "I… really would like it… if you ate lunch with me today, Mr. Dark. Please?" Risa pleaded so innocently. "I can never say no with those eyes begging me," he thought with a smirk as he said yes.
"Really?" she asked again, making sure. "Yeah, let's go," he playfully said, following her outside.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You didn't bring lunch today, Niwa?" Riku asked. "Yeah, I guess I got used to sharing lunch with Ms. Harada," Daisuke explained, laughing. The older Harada twin smiled as she took out her lunch. She had expected Dark to eat with her again, so she packed enough for two. Riku was relieved that Dark wasn't going to eat with her after their argument at class.
Daisuke drank his drink. "Ms. Harada, did Dark really…?" he was about to ask, but stopped when he saw Riku turn away, "I… I'm sorry… I shouldn't have asked…" "Yeah… he did Niwa. But… what sickens me the most is… he took my first kiss. It's a once in a lifetime kiss that was taken from me. I actually… wanted it to be from… you know, my true love, or something like that," Riku told him, blushing. The redhead stared at her for a while. "Ms. Harada…," he thought. Riku turned to see him looking at her. "Wha… what is it?" she asked, nervously, blushing hard. "Ah… nothing!" Daisuke reassured her as he ate one of the sushi. "Niwa…," his name filled her thoughts as she slurped some noodles she brought.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How do you like it, Mr. Dark? Is it okay?" Risa asked panicky, hoping he'd like her food. Dark looked at her and smiled. "You're great at cooking," he said, though he felt like vomiting in his mind. Risa blushed at his words. "I'm glad you like it," she told him, while watching him eat.
Dark glanced at Risa, and suddenly stared at her. "She looks… just like…," he thought, seeing Riku's face, "I'm an idiot. They're twins… but… why can I only see Riku when I look at her?" "Huh? What's wrong?" Risa asked, looking at her food, trying to see if something's wrong with it. "No... it's nothing," he mumbled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After school. Risa had to stay at the gym again to help the dance committee. She had to work hard for missing yesterday's work. Meanwhile, Daisuke and Riku were walking home.
"Riku!" a voice called her. Riku groaned. "Can't he leave me alone!" she mumbled as Dark arrived next to her.
"I'm sorry, okay? I didn't think you'd end up disliking me this much… if you're still mad, you don't have to go to the dance with me," he told her. She looked up, as if his voice was different, not a playful tone like always, but a more sincere and kinder tone, like Daisuke's. Riku sighed. "I guess I have to choice… but to forgive my date to the dance…," she said with a wearily smile. "You're still going to the dance with me…?" he asked, and she nodded. Dark then smiled. "I knew you couldn't resist me," he said out loud. Riku glared at him.
Daisuke watched them. "At least Ms. Harada's alright," he thought. Dark looked over and glanced at him. "Hey, Daisuke, you're not such a bad guy, but don't go hitting on Riku while I'm not here," he warned him. Daisuke backed away panicky. "Dark, give it a rest!" Riku groaned. Dark kept teasing Daisuke, walking backwards, until he heard a familiar voice.
"Dark," a person, from behind him, said. Dark turned around and flinched at who he saw. It was… Krad.
