Weird, I know. And I think Rika-chan will have an unexpected visitor seeing her at the hospital! (Gasp) So read!

"What's today?" Riku asked, confused. "It's St. White Day, remember!" Risa pouted. "Oh, that holiday!" her older sister had to groan.
On St. White Day, guys would give girls they cared about white ribbons so their love would last forever. Risa had been waiting for this day since last week because she had been hoping Dark would give her his ribbon. Riku was thinking the same about Daisuke.
"Isn't it romantic? I hope Mr. Dark ties his ribbon on me…," Risa said, and was now being in her own "dream world." "Oh, please! Knowing him, he'll probably give every girl a ribbon!" Riku spat. "So, Riku, who do you think will give you their ribbon, hmm?" Risa questioned, staring at her sister. "N… no one…!" the girl with reddish, brown hair shouted quickly, blushing. Her younger sister smiled at her Riku, wondering what she was thinking.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Azumano Middle School was a mayhem. Boys could be seen holding their white ribbons, some tying it on their crushes, and only a few guys got rejected. Daisuke was nervous about today. He thought about giving his ribbon to Risa, but automatically knew she'd rather want Dark's ribbon. "Ms. Harada… she was sure happy yesterday… I'm glad she liked my painting…," Daisuke's mind wandered. "I don't know why… but why don't I feel the same way between both Ms. Harada's?" The cute redhead sighed.
He watched the twins talking about today at Risa's desk. "Ms. Harada…," he mumbled, staring at Riku. She glanced back to see him staring at her. Riku smiled and left Risa and their friends to see Daisuke. "Hey, Niwa," she greeted him.
"Hi, Ms. Harada," Daisuke returned the greeting. "Did you bring a ribbon for Risa? Dark isn't here yet, so you still have a chance!" Riku whispered in his ear. "I… I'm not giving my ribbon to Ms. Harada," he told her. "Huh? Why?" she asked him, confused as ever. Riku sat on her seat with a sigh.
"It's not like that… I mean…," the redhead was about to explain when he heard a ton of loud cries coming from the door. Almost every girl in the class, and a lot that were in the hallway, gathered around Dark, hoping he'd give them his ribbon. "Sorry, girls," he told them all, "But I only have one, single, white ribbon, and I have to use it wisely."
"Dark… seems the same. I wonder if he's still mad at me about last Saturday…," Riku wondered. "I think… Dark would want to give you his ribbon, Ms. Harada," Daisuke said to her. "What? No way," Riku spat. Daisuke looked down at his ribbon in his pocket. "He most likely would… so maybe I should give Ms. Harada my ribbon now…," he thought. The redhead looked up to see Dark making his way to their desks.
"Hey, Daisuke. Hey, Riku," Dark smirked, "Hey, Daisuke, didn't I tell you not to hit on Riku while I'm not around?" The redhead flinched, and so did Riku. "He's… acting like his usual self… like nothing ever happened…? I guess… I should too…," she thought.
"Don't talking like that about Niwa, Dark," Riku said, glaring at him; she knew she was pretending to defend Niwa, like always. "Come on; let your precious Niwa defend himself!" Dark pestered. Riku glared. Daisuke sighed. "It' gonna be the same as always now…," he thought.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risa watched them from afar. She sighed. "I bet Mr. Dark will give Riku his ribbon…," she thought with a pout.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today the students had gym. They all were at the indoor swimming pool to practice. Teacher hoped no one would drown like last time.
Riku groaned as she saw Dark flirting with all the girls. "Looking good," he smirked, which made all the girls swoon. Risa and Riku, meanwhile, stood near the pool, staring at the water.
"You go in first," the older one said. "No, you. You like this gym stuff, so you go," the younger one pestered. Riku sighed at the water, and pushed Risa in. "Hey, that wasn't funny!" her sister pouted as she came to the surface of water. "Sorry," Riku mumbled with a look away smile. "You'll pay for that, Riku!" Risa grumbled, mad her swim suit was wet. Riku laughed.
Dark was about to push Riku in when she dodged it. "Hey, what's the big idea, Dark!" she demanded. "Hey, don't you wanna get wet?" he asked her nicely. "Pervert," Riku mumbled. "You're still calling me a pervert? That's mean," he mentioned, which made Riku glare.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daisuke and Satoshi were sitting near the pool. "Hey, Hiwatari, Ms. Harada said she's giving you dance lessons… is that true?" the redhead asked. "N… no…," the boy with blue eyes and hair mumbled with a cough.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lunch. Risa was trying to follow Dark to catch up with him. "He's going through the courtyard…," she mumbled.
She looked around, trying to find him. "Where could Mr. Dark be…?" Risa thought as she passed a bundle of bushes. "Ah!" she winced, getting cut by one of the branches. It was a minor cut; it wasn't bleeding, but the line could be seen. "Ouch… that hurt…," Risa pouted, rubbing her arm.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daisuke and Riku, meanwhile, sat at the roof of the school, eating lunch. "Why are we sitting on the roof, Niwa? We could've let sat at our usual bench," she asked him. "It's just… the sky looks so big today…," the redhead replied. "The sky's always big, Niwa," Riku reminded him. "I know," Daisuke replied as he opened their bento.
"Wow! You cooked a lot!" Riku exclaimed, trying a sushi. "Remember? School will get off earlier today, so we have more time for lunch," Daisuke told her. "I know, but your cooking's really good! I have to say, you're a better cook than Risa!" she teased as they laughed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Krad was almost on his way out of school when Dark appeared in front of him. "School's not over yet; where do you think you're going?" the charming Dark demanded. "I'm going to see… well, you know," Krad said, and walked right pass him. "I wonder… has all your feelings of my Rika really disappeared?" "Shut your mouth," Dark replied. Krad glanced back at him, and left. Dark sighed as he stared at the ground. "Rika…," he thought.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risa sighed as she wandered through the courtyard. "Where's Mr. Dark? I was hoping to have lunch with him today…," she whispered. Risa turned to head back to the school building, and saw Hiwatari Satoshi come out.
"Hiwatari!" Risa called. "Have you seen Mr. Dark?" "No," Satoshi replied. "Okay… have you seen Riku or Niwa?" she asked. "I think they went to the roof," the boy with blue eyes and hair told her. "Then let's go, Hiwatari! I mean, you're always so busy at school, so come on!" Risa exclaimed.
"Hold on a second," Hiwatari said. "Huh?" Risa asked. "Your arm…," he noticed the bare cut. "It's nothing… I just passed a bush and…," the younger Harada twin explained, but saw Satoshi tying a piece o cloth around it. "Wha…?" "You don't want people to be asking about it, right?" he asked, and walked ahead. Risa took a better look at the cloth, and noticed it was white. "Hiwatari, did you just tie white ribbon on me!" she demanded.
"What if I did?" he questioned her, and headed for the roof. Risa sighed and stared at the cloth. "…Hiwa… tari…," she whispered, touching the cloth, and then ran up to him, to catch up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risa and Satoshi noticed Dark was already sitting at the stairway to the roof door, listening to Daisuke and Riku's conversation. "Mr. Dark, what are you doing here?" Risa asked. "I could ask you and your boyfriend the same thing. I'm just eavesdropping, that's all," Dark explained. "Hey, what do you mean boyfriend!" Risa demanded, and Satoshi put a finger at his mouth, and told her to be quiet. Risa grumbled. "Are these two against me, huh!" she wondered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So… did you give Risa your ribbon yet? You should hurry before Dark does," Riku asked. "I wasn't planning… on giving Ms. Harada my ribbon," Daisuke said, looking down. "Huh? Come on, Niwa, don't give up…," the older Harada twin tried to cheer him up. "No, it's not that… I really wasn't planning on giving Ms. Harada the ribbon. I'm planning… on giving it… to someone else…," the redhead explained it more clearly. "Then… who are you giving it to?" Riku questioned, curious.
"… you," Daisuke said, taking out his ribbon from his pocket. Riku gasped, as did Risa, and Dark too. "M… me…?" she asked him, confused.
Riku stood up, and backed away. "Don't… don't joke like that, Niwa… I know… you like Risa…," the girl with reddish, brown, short hair stated, looking away. "I'm serious, Ms. Harada…," Daisuke said, and stood up, holding the white ribbon in hand. "Niwa… I… don't know what to say… how… how can you make fun of me like this…? I know you like Risa… you don't have to do this… you don't have… be so cruel as to pity me…! I know you like her… okay!" Riku snapped. "Ms. Harada…," the redhead mumbled. "I know you like her! I know that! So why are you still here! With me! Why!" she shouted, confused and unsure.
"I… used to like Ms. Harada…," Daisuke said to her, walking up to her,"… but the person… I like now… is… you… Ms. Riku…" With that, he slowly tied the ribbon around her neck as she smiled, crying. "Niwa… Niwa… I… I… I… I feel the same way! Always, I've always liked you…!" Riku cried in his arms, hugging him. "Ms. Riku…," Daisuke whispered, and hugged her back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dark heard in at, and walked downstairs quietly. Risa watched her sister and Daisuke. "Riku… Niwa…," she thought, and looked away. Satoshi, though, kept quiet. "Riku… Niwa… why do I feel so…," Risa wondered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the hospital, Rika was drawing a detailed, black feather on her note pad. "Dark…," she whispered, and then heard someone open the room door. "Krad…," Rika said, and looked up at the blonde boy at her door.
"I know… I'm the last person you want to see, but…," Krad explained, but stopped, seeing Rika's smile still stood. "Not at all… I was hoping you'd visit me… sometime…," she told him. Krad gasped as he saw the window. "It's snowing… today… what a sight…," Rika awed. Her brown eyes gazed at the white snowflakes.
