While Risa was in the bathroom, checking her hair, Riku sighed, looking through the balcony. It was the afternoon, and she was trying hard not to this about that incident with Krad. Instead, another incident she regretted came to her mind.
"Right… Dark kissed me here… that jerk…," she thought, her face, though, blushing. Risa ran out to the balcony next to her sister. "Riku, let me do your hair!" she exclaimed, happy about the dance, even though they had to wear their uniforms. "No way; I like my hair down," Riku protested, backing away from her sister. "Come on, please? You'll look pretty for Mr. Dark!" Risa tried to persuade her. "I don't care how I look. And why are you trying to make me look attractive for Dark? I thought you liked him," Riku questioned, annoyed. "I do, but… I'm trying to make you feel better," Risa said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" the girl with reddish, brown, short hair asked, confused. "I saw you…in the hallway today… with Niwa and Mr. Dark… I saw you crying. You haven't cried like that since you lost your teddy bear when we were kids," Risa explained. "I see… well, I would explain it to you, but…," Riku mumbled. "I heard what happened… I can't believe a new student like him would harass you like that… talk about weird…," Risa interrupted. Riku groaned, turning away. "Can we please talk about something else?" she fumed. Risa sighed, thinking.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daisuke was meanwhile walking to the Harada Mansion. "I hope I'm not too late… Ms. Harada and I are going to a dance… together…," he thought, with a blushingly smile. As cute as the redhead could be, he started running towards the mansion, hoping he wouldn't be late.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dark happened to be heading to the mansion as well. "Stupid Daisuke… I can't believe Riku went to him for comfort… I'm every girl's dream guy, right?" he asked himself, grinning. Sighing at himself for being as charming as he is, Dark took his own little time heading to the Harada Mansion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay… did you hear about last week's fight at another middle school?" Risa asked, who found a new topic to talk about. "No… what happened?" Riku asked, a tad interested. "I heard from some of the other girls that two guys were fighting, and this girl got shot. I saw the news last weekend; she's in the hospital… they didn't mention those guys' names though… but I think I remember the girl's name… Rika… something… I forgot her last name, though!" her sister explained the incident last week. Riku quietly gasped. "Could it be…? The same girl that Krad was talking about…?" she wondered.
Her thoughts were interrupted, though, by the sound of the doorbell ringing. Risa happily rushed downstairs with Riku following. "Rika…," Riku thought, heading downstairs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dark looked up to see Daisuke already at the Harada mansion. "Daisuke," Dark said. Daisuke turned around and greeted Dark. "Hey Dark; I'm here for Ms. Harada," he explained. Dark nodded, and the door opened.
Risa, and then Riku, stepped outside to face their dates. "Well… let's go, Niwa," Risa said, walking side by side with him. Dark, meanwhile, just gazed at Riku for a while.
"Risa does look more like Rika than Riku, but… is this wrong? To like both Rika and Riku…?" he wondered. Riku blushed, and turned away. "Shouldn't we get going, Mr. Pervert?" she teased. Dark smiled. "Hey, is that all you think of me? As a pervert?" he questioned. Riku smiled, sticking out her tongue. "You'll never know," she said, walking away, with Dark catching up with her, wanting an answer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dance was in the gym. Music boomed from a DJ, where a lot of the students were dancing. Some were at the table that had food and drinks, and others were sitting on the gym benches, chatting.
"You did a great job helping out, Ms. Harada," Daisuke commented, seeing the gym at its best. "Thanks, but this was a group's effort, Niwa!" she reminded him, laughing. Daisuke sighed, and offered to get her a drink. Risa agreed, and he went off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow… the dance committee and Risa sure did a good job…," Riku thought, admiring the gym. "So… wanna dance, Riku?" Dark asked her. "Well… I'm you're date… so, sure!" Riku said with a faint smile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risa gazed at her sister and her crush dancing. "I know I shouldn't be thinking of Mr. Dark while I'm here with Niwa, but… I can't help it…," she thought, and noticed Satoshi Hiwatari was talking with another girl from class. She was asking him to dance with her, but he quietly declined.
"Come on, please? Just one dance?" the girl practically begged. "Sorry, but I can't dance," was Satoshi's reply. "Come on! Please? Just one dance?" she kept pestering. "No," Satoshi stated, and the girl pouted and went back to where her friends were at.
"That was kinda mean, Hiwatari," Risa mentioned. "She asked for it. I didn't want to dance," Satoshi replied. "Whatever…," the girl with long, brown hair mumbled, and noticed Daisuke coming.
"Niwa! Over here!" she called, standing up from the benches. Daisuke smiled and walked over, carrying her drink. He too noticed Satoshi and smiled. "Hiwatari, I didn't know you go to school dances," Daisuke said. "I don't," Satoshi said, about to leave, "I just wanted to observe the dance committee's finished work."
"Niwa, you're friend's weird…," Risa spat. "Well… he's different… but he's a nice person, Ms. Harada," Daisuke said, watching Satoshi leave, and then passed Risa her drink. Risa happily drank it all and sighed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey," Dark said, hearing the music change, "I think I hear a slow song coming up." Riku eyed his grinning face. "You better not touch anywhere lower that my back, pervert," she warned. Dark smirked and they got into a slow dancing position. Riku glared, watching him carefully.
"But… are you okay…?" he asked her. "Huh? What do you mean?" Riku asked, confused. "About Krad… he didn't hurt you, right?" Dark demanded, worried. "No… he just scared me… that's all. Nothing to worry about!" she tried to reassure him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Niwa… do you want to dance?" Risa asked him. "Umm… okay, Ms. Harada," said Daisuke hesitantly as they made their way to the dance floor. "I'm going to be dancing with Ms. Harada… I can't mess this up…," he reminded himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly some walked next to Dark and Riku. "May I cut in?" he asked. Krad. "What are you doing here!" Dark demanded. "I just want to dance… you don't mind, do you?" Krad asked Riku. She bit her bit, and mumbled, "I… guess… not…" Krad smiled, and too Riku away to dance for a while, leaving an angered, and might I add, jealous Dark.
"What do you want?" Riku questioned him as they slow danced. "You shouldn't interfere with Dark and me. We have matters to settle; you'll only be a distraction to him," Krad replied. "Wha… what?" Riku asked, fuming. "What I mean is… he doesn't love you; you're just a distraction to keep him from thinking about my Rika, that's all you are. Don't think you're so special," the blonde boy said in similar terms. "Wha… what!" Riku repeated, enraged, thinking, "What does e mean by that! And Dark doesn't love me; he just has a crush, right! And again with this Rika girl! What makes her so special! Hmm!"
"Wha… what do you mean? I'm not a distraction for Dark!" she protested. "You're just a girl to keep him from feeling guilty… so don't interfere," Krad warned. Riku backed away from him. "How dare you say these things about me!" she shouted, and slapped him. Krad showed no sign of anger.
"Riku!" Dark called, and went next to her. "Don't treat me like crap, okay! I can't take this Rika this, and Rika that, and that I don't compare!" she snapped. "Riku…," Dark mumbled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon, the gym became very quiet as everyone was listening to their conversation; even Daisuke and Riku, and Satoshi was outside the gym, lying on the wall; he heard it too. "Ms. Harada…," Daisuke thought. "Riku… why is that new boy bothering you again? I don't want to see you hurt again!" Risa thought too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dark… I wonder what my dear Rika would say… seeing you… with her…," Krad said, which made Dark flinch. Riku stood there, utterly confused. "I don't understand what's going on…! I… I can't take this all…!" she thought, her mind spinning as she turned, and ran out the gym. "Riku!" Dark called, but she didn't stop. "Ms. Harada!" Daisuke too called, and ran after her. Risa watched, her face depressed. "Niwa…," she thought.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ms. Harada!" Daisuke called, finally catching up to her. "Niwa…? Wha… what is it…?" Riku asked, blushing. "I wanted to see… if you were alright…," he said, panting. She noticed how tired he was and sighed. "Niwa… I can always depend on you… can't I?" Riku asked him. "Of course, Ms. Harada…!" he agreed with her. "Then… I'm glad…," she said with a smile. Daisuke nodded. "Why don't I take you home, Ms. Harada? You must be tired," he mentioned. "You look more tired than me, Niwa," she teased as they walked home together.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet one thought kept racing in her mind. Dark. Is he okay? Is he going to have another fight with Krad? I hope he's alright! She kept worrying through the time walking home. "Dark… Rika… I can't compare…," she remembered with a sigh.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that's the dance chapter, and yes, I know it could've been better. Well, couple pairings are gonna come up soon. And they will change, as everyone's feelings differ. Who will Riku-chan be with? Dai-kun? Dark-kun? Why can't she answer that question for herself? And why, when Risa-chan has a major crush on Dark-kun, is jealous about Dai-kun and Riku-chan, and can't seem to think Sa-kun is good for her? Hmm? Some answers will be revealed, and more soon, in chapter 9! RXR!
