------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was during the evening that Risa was walking home. She would've called home, but the Harada mansion was nearby too. "Maybe I should have gone with Riku or Mr. Dark… a pervert might jump out and try and get me…," Risa thought, really scared to walk alone, but had to.
Risa began to think about her conversation with Rika, and how it had affected her. She had realized something important. Her mind gazed back at before:
"I heard from Riku that you're sick. Will you be okay?" Risa asked. "I'll be… I'll be just fine. Don't worry," she reassured her. "Riku also told me you were Dark's ex-girlfriend… it's because of the incident before, right?" the younger Harada twin asked. "Yes… I was so foolish too. Yet… I had to do it; I had to save him. It was my fault. If only I had realized Krad's feelings for me sooner… maybe we could've talked things out," Rika explained. "Oh… but Mr. Dark… he still cares about you, Rika, he really does," Risa mentioned.
"Oh, are you Dark's new girlfriend? I had thought Riku was…," Rika asked, curious. "Well… I wouldn't really say that…I mean, I've dated him quite a few times, but it's not me that he likes… I know that. He… likes Riku. I knew that all along. I've tried to spend more time with him, so that I could see him. But… I never thought about Mr. Dark's feelings… at all. I must've been a burden to Mr. Dark…," Risa mumbled. "Don't say that," Rika said, "You just wanted to be with Dark, that's all. I still… want to be with Dark too. But as you can see… that can no longer happen." "Huh?" Risa asked, confused.
"Oh… never mind…but… you tell me you like Dark… though it feels like… when you talked about him right now… you were thinking of someone else, weren't you?" Rika asked Risa. "Uh, yes…see, there's this boy at school; Niwa. He used to have a crush on me, but… I only thought of him as a friend. Now… he's with Riku, so… I think I'm jealous. There's… another boy too. He's cold, quiet, and can be a jerk at times. But… he can be sweet, like Niwa. I don't know what I'm really saying…," Risa said, laughing nervously, and blushing. "It's okay. It's okay to be jealous of your sister because this Niwa isn't giving you the attention he once had. And this other boy you've told me about… you must really like him," Rika said, smiling.
"Wha? I do not!" Risa protested, blushing. "Risa… your face says it all. You like him, but you keep thinking you like Dark, which troubles your heart's decision. Take a break, and call him. Okay? Because… you never know if he's here one day, and gone in the next… he may never know… how you truly feel about him," Rika told her. Risa slowly nodded. "I… understand," she replied.
"Hiwatari… I should give him a call. It wouldn't hurt," she decided. Risa looked up. "Hey, I'm almost home. I can see the mansion!" she noticed and rushed there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riku sat on her bed, confused as ever. "I like Niwa… I know I do but… what about Dark…?" she thought, and shook her head. "I can't like that pervert! No, never!" She sighed as she looked at the painting on the wall Daisuke gave her.
"Niwa… would you be mad, Niwa…? If I told you… I… I like…?" she asked, touching the painting, and looked down. "What am I saying? I can't… I can't. I've liked Niwa since he found my teddy bear. What has Dark ever done for me?" Riku went out to the balcony. "Well… he had shared lunch with me a lot… he asked me to the dance. Dark has been… a great friend, but…," she said to herself. "I… have to tell Niwa… it's the only way to get this guilt off of me…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Riku came to school with Risa and Daisuke, as always. She was going to tell him. At lunch.
"Ms. Riku, are you okay? You've been awfully quiet today," Daisuke asked. "No, Niwa… I'm not okay… I have… something to tell you," Riku said. "What is it? You know you can't tell me anything," Daisuke reminded her.
"Niwa… I'm… having second thoughts," Riku told him. "On what?" Daisuke asked. "On… us. I can't be in a relationship with you because… I like you… but… I think… I like someone else too," the older Harada twin said, looking away. Daisuke stood up quietly. "Ni… Niwa?" Riku asked.
"Ms. Riku… tell Dark. I'm sure he'll want to know," the redhead said. "Wait a minute!" Riku demanded, "How do you know its Dark! I could be talking about someone else!" "Because… I know it's Dark. Just tell him," Daisuke told her. "Niwa…," Riku whispered. "I'm alright, Ms. Riku. Don't worry. I still like you… and if it doesn't work out… I still will. It's okay," Daisuke reassured her. "Niwa…," Riku repeated, and hugged him. "I… I'm sorry…" Daisuke nodded, and motioned her to go.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hiwatari," Risa struggled to say, "I… need to talk to you." She found him out in the courtyard. "Risa," Satoshi said. "Hiwatari… I… was wondering… if…," Risa mentioned, quietly. The boy with blue hair and eyes sighed.
"Risa Harada… do you mind if we go out, after school?" Satoshi asked. Risa blinked twice. "Uh… sure," she replied, nervous. Satoshi nodded, and left. Risa stood there. "Did… Hiwatari… just ask me out? And… did I… just say yes…?"she realized, the moment was all getting into her head.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riku searched everywhere for Dark. Yet, he seemed to be nowhere. He was in class, but was strangely quiet. He didn't even look at her all day. "Where could he be?" Riku mumbled. "I… want to see him!"
She stopped. "Wait… I'm sounding like Risa here… did I say I want to see him? I… I…" Riku thought, shaking her head. "It… doesn't matter. I need to find him; I have to… I… want to." And with that decided, she rushed through the hallways, trying to find him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, Dark was at the gates of the middle school, thinking of seeing Rika. He stood there, hearing footsteps behind him. "Krad, again, huh?" he thought, turning to see Riku running to him. "Dark!" she called. "Ri… Riku…!" Dark said.
Riku stopped running once she got to him, and smiled. "I'm… glad I found you," she said. "You… are?" Dark questioned, confused. "Yeah… so…umm… do you want to… hang out today? If you're not busy, I mean," Riku asked, quickly.
"Riku, did Daisuke break up with you, and are you going to use me to get him jealous? Because… that's okay too," Dark smirked. "No… I… was thinking a lot about what you told me, Dark. I'm giving you… a chance. I'm letting you… be my knight and shining armor," Riku explained, blushing. "Riku…," Dark mumbled. "But if you fail, I'm so letting a fire breathing dragon eat you!" Riku told him. Dark laughed nervously, and agreed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rika sat on her bed, looking through her address book. She sighed in relief at a page, and dialed the number. "Hello?" a voice asked.
"Krad? It's… ah… Rika. How've you been?" she asked him. "Fine," Krad replied. "I'm sorry… for everything, Krad. I'd want to talk to you in person, but… that can't happen, since… well, you know. Umm… but I still want to know… if I'm… your friend, Krad," Rika asked. "You are my friend, Rika. I just…," Krad said, but stopped. "You just wanted something you knew I couldn't give you," Rika finished. "…yeah," Krad replied. "I just wanted to call… to tell you… I haven't been feeling well. The doctors say I won't live for mush long…," she explained.
"I… I see. Did you… tell him?" Krad demanded. "You mean Dark, don't you? I… haven't been able to. I'd hate to see the look on his face, or even call him. I want him to be happy, but if he keeps thinking about me… he never will," Rika told him. "Please… please don't tell him, Krad." "I won't… for you," Krad replied. "Thank you…," Rika said, looking up to her doctors and some of the staff came for tests. "I… have to go, Krad. I'll try to talk to you later… if I can. Bye…" "I may never see you again…," were the words Rika heard from Krad right before she hung up.

Oh, and aren't you glad Sa-kun and Risa-chan are friends again? Well, I am! Riku-chan and Risa-chan go on their dates in the next chapter, but Dark-kun finds it weird that Riku-chan still wants to hang out with Dai-kun when she could hang out with him! As this story will soon, conclude in six more chapters, I really want to get the reviews to one hundred! Because, all of you guys know, I love reviews! I really do! So, RXR! Happy New Year!
