Cye: Oo "Pocket makes judging chapter length hard."
Anaen: "What do you mean?"
Satoshi: "The fact this chapter is 15 pages long."
Anaen: "Ah, okay." Pause. "WHOA! Shouldn't you have been doing something else?"
Cye: "Nothing important."
Satoshi: "Wasn't it the fact you wrote it since November?"
Cye: Sweatdrops. "Damn your logic!"
Anaen: "Where's Daisuke? Or even Dark?"
Satoshi: "They hid as soon as they read the chapter."
Cye: "Why? Why didn't you?"
Satoshi: "Because Krad doesn't hurt me unless he's trying to take control of my body."
Cye+Anaen: "Oh, okay." Pause. An angry shout from Krad. "RUN AWAY!" Both run away.

Chapter Five: Trapped In More Ways Than One
Daisuke tensed ready to fend from the person when they whispered right by his ear. "It's me."
Daisuke relaxed slightly and turned around to face the person, moving back. "You scared me, Hiwarati." Daisuke said.
"We're locked in." Satoshi said.
"Huh? Wait...WHAT?" Daisuke yelled.
Satoshi winced slightly. "You don't need to yell." He said a bit snappishly.
"I'm sorry, but being locked in..." Daisuke paused. "Wait, I can just pick the lock." Daisuke said.
"The lock is above the level of one you could hack. I couldn't break it either. The windows don't open and are shatterproof. It's to avoid arson." Satoshi explained.
"Well, I'm sure Dark will unlock it. I mean, you aren't going to arrest him for helping, right?" Daisuke asked.
Satoshi stared at him and smiled slightly. "I suppose that would be bad." He said.
Daisuke nodded and called out to Dark. Hey Dark! You there? Daisuke waited for a moment and looked confused. "Is he still asleep?" Daisuke mumbled. He turned to look inside his mind. Dark! Wake up alre... Daisuke froze, seeing a figure in the back of his mind.
Daisuke came back, looking pale and terrified.
"Niwa? What's wrong?" Satoshi asked.
"Hiwarati...have you heard from Krad since you woke up?" Daisuke asked, still looking scared.
Satoshi stared and he started to look wary. "No. Why?" He asked carefully.
Daisuke pointed to himself. "Because I saw him...inside me." He said quietly.
Satoshi stared in shock and his eyes narrowed, looking inside his own mind. Krad! Krad! He yelled out to his curse.
"Ugh, Daisuke, what are you yelling about?" A very familiar voice, but not for inside Satoshi, answered.
Dark! Oh no! Daisuke! Satoshi thought focusing on the terror stricken Daisuke. "Dark...is with me." He said in a low voice.
"Huh? Daisuke?" Dark moved towards his tamer, confused by his behavior. He froze. "What the hell! What are you doing here, Hiwarati!" Dark demanded.
Satoshi sighed. "Dark, I don't know how or why, but you and Krad...have switched hosts." He said aloud, explaining to Dark and confirming the truth for Daisuke.
Dark was silent a moment. "WHAT! That psycho's in Daisuke!" Dark demanded.
Daisuke just grew paler. "This can't be real." He said.
"I'm sorry Niwa...but it is." Satoshi said quietly and regretfully.
Daisuke stared for a moment and then fell forward. Satoshi caught him. "Niwa?"
"What's wrong with Daisuke?" The currently freaking out Dark demanded.
I think he passed out in shock. Satoshi answered.
"AHH! This just isn't right! Not only am I stuck with creepy boy, but Daisuke has to deal with that psycho alone!" Dark cried.
Calm down. If there's a way for you two switch, there has to be a way to switch you back. Satoshi told Dark
"Well let's go then! Daiki might know a way." Dark said.
One problem. Satoshi thought.
"What problem?" Dark asked.
You're the only one who can break the lock.
"So?"
You're in me.
"And?"
And I don't have a crush in which I could use to change into you. Satoshi told him, annoyed.
Dark was silent for a moment. "You really are a very creepy boy."
Well, sorry for having to deal with Krad instead of growing up normally. Satoshi snapped.
Dark was silent again. "So, you're really going to take Krad back?" He asked.
….yes. Satoshi answered.
"Why?" Dark asked.
Satoshi looked at Daisuke. Because Niwa is too good to be cursed with Krad.
Dark was silent for a few moments. "So, Daisuke was right about you. Looks like I owe him an apology." Dark commented.
No, he wasn't right. I'm not good. I'm just a monster too. Satoshi replied.
Dark was silent.
"Satoshi! What has happened!" Krad demanded when he awoke to all of the talking. Krad looked around when there was no answer and spotted the other soul. He approached the other soul and froze.
"What is the Niwa boy doing here?" Krad said to himself. He scowled and picked up the spirit by the back of his shirt. "Wake up now, boy!" Krad commanded, shaking Daisuke.
"Huh? Hm?" Daisuke blinked a few times. He looked at Krad, not recognizing Krad for a few moments and then his eyes widened. "K-Krad?" Daisuke squeaked.
"What have you done with Satoshi?" Krad hissed.
"Ah, uh, um, I didn't, I mean, uhhh." Daisuke stammered.
"Answer now, boy." Krad said warningly.
"Umm..." Daisuke fell silent for a few moments. "I DIDN'T DO IT!" Daisuke cried, kicking Krad in the gut enough to make the demon let him go. Daisuke paused for a moment before running away from Krad.
Krad let him go in shock more than pain. He glared at Daisuke. He spread his wings and took off after Daisuke.
"I'M SORRY! IT WAS REACTION!" Daisuke yelled back, running away and glad that his mom did use real guard dogs for those traps.
"I'll just kill you now that I have the chance and then Dark." Krad said, charging a blast of energy.
"AHH! WHY DID HE HAVE TO COME TO MY BODY!" Daisuke cried.
Krad stopped when he realized what he said. He took off after Daisuke and caught him after five more minutes of chasing and lifted him into the air again.
"Let me go! I don't have Dark anymore!" Daisuke shouted.
"What do you mean by you don't have Dark?" Krad asked calmly.
Daisuke paused and looked at Krad. Well...he hasn't killed Hiwarati, so maybe... Daisuke took a deep breath and calmed down slightly. "Hiwarati and I were working when we suddenly, I don't know, passed out. By the time we woke up again, you and Dark...were switched. So now Dark is in Hiwarati and you're in me." Daisuke explained, hoping the psychotic angel wouldn't keep trying to kill him now.
Krad studied him for a moment and then set him down. "So now you're my host?" He asked warily.
Daisuke nodded slowly. "Unless we find a way to switch you two back." Daisuke said.
Krad was silent, staring at Daisuke intently.
Daisuke shifted from foot to foot, feeling uncomfortable. "Um, Krad? Are you, uh, okay?" Daisuke asked nervously.
Krad narrowed his eyes. "I want to speak with Satoshi." He said, stepping forward menacingly.
Daisuke gulped and stepped back.
"Risa?"
No.
"Riku?"
No.
"Seesh, I've named every girl in your class, plus some who aren't. Every woman on the police force that I know and women that I know you've met. Not to mention some names I made up!" Dark cried.
I already said I didn't have a crush. Satoshi told the thief, losing patience.
"That or maybe...it's not a girl. Is it Saehara?" Dark asked.
Dark! Will you just be qui… Satoshi started to yell when Daisuke started to scream.
"Daisuke!" Dark cried.
"Niwa!" Satoshi looked over at Daisuke on the floor, his eyes wide open as he curled up, screaming in pain. "Damnit! It's Krad..."
"Well, come on! You've got to help him!" Dark shouted.
I'm not sure if I can. Satoshi thought, rushing over to Daisuke. "Niwa, can you fight him off?" Satoshi asked, kneeling beside the boy.
"I'm...not...sure...He's...AHHH!" Daisuke cried, curling up even more.
Satoshi watched Daisuke for a moment, his eyes not showing emotion. "Relinquish control. That's the least painful way to deal with him."
"What! Are you mental! That's Krad!" Dark yelled.
"But...H-Hiwarati..." Daisuke started.
"Don't worry, Niwa. Krad won't attack. He hates you almost as much as Dark. He'll want to switch back with him." Satoshi said calmly and sincerely.
Daisuke looked at Satoshi, eyes narrowed in pain, and then he nodded. He screamed one more time as wings burst from his back. Satoshi watched silently as the boy he loved turned into the demon he hated most.
After a moment, Krad was looking at Satoshi. He stood up and smirked. "Wise decision, Satoshi. I would have crushed the boy's spirit if he didn't give in. I want to enjoy that later, make nice and slow." Krad said evilly.
Satoshi narrowed his eyes. "Don't you dare hurt Niwa." He warned.
Krad looked at Satoshi, smilingly evil. "Why shouldn't I?" He asked tauntingly.
"Because if Dark goes back to Niwa just to have him die, I won't make the switch." Satoshi growled.
Krad studied Satoshi in silence.
"Come on! Let me out!" Dark cried.
"I could just use the Niwa boy's soul to do the spell. That'll be enough power." Krad smirked. "That'll destroy both him and Dark and you couldn't stop the transfer."
Satoshi eyes widened in shock and narrowed angrily. "If you dare do that, I'll let Dark out and..."
Krad cut him off. "I could use the boy's soul to fight Dark and both of you will be too weak to stop me." He said, almost laughing.
Satoshi glared at him and then looked down.
"Damnit, we have to stop Krad! Let me out! No way am I gonna let him hurt Daisuke!" Dark yelled.
You'll only hurt Daisuke. I know what he's playing for so let me handle it. Satoshi told Dark, but he didn't look up.
"I'm sure the Niwa's know how to switch you two back. If you just wait, then I'll..." Satoshi trailed off.
"You'll what, Satoshi?" Krad asked, smiling cruelly.
"I'll...let you have your way with me for a whole night." Satoshi forced in a low voice.
"WHAT!" Dark yelled in shock.
"WHAT IS HIWARATI SAYING!" Daisuke cried, having been silent so far.
Quiet! Both Krad and Satoshi told their temporary counterparts.
"Is it a deal then?" Satoshi asked in a low, defeated voice.
Krad smiled smugly and forced Satoshi to look up. "It's a deal. Just remember to keep it." Krad warned, before letting Daisuke take control as he thought of ways to enjoy his night with Satoshi.
Daisuke simply stared at Satoshi in shock. Dark was also silent in Satoshi's mind. Satoshi looked down, unable to meet Daisuke's eyes.
Damn you Krad. Satoshi thought hatefully. "Well, we better find a place to settle for the night." He said coldly, turning away and starting to walk. "I'm sure they won't mind us using the couches."
"Hey, Hiwarati, what..." Dark started.
Just be quiet, please. Satoshi asked quietly.
Dark was silent, not quite comprehending what had happened.
Daisuke followed Satoshi. It can't be what I think it means. I must have just misunderstood, that's all. Daisuke thought.
"Oh, and why not? What's so hard to believe?" Krad asked, hearing Daisuke's thoughts.
Because...because you and Hiwarati and, well, just to, uhhh…" Daisuke trailed off.
Krad laughed. "I knew you were slow, but not this slow." He insulted.
Hey! It's not easy to imagine you and Hiwarati having se... Daisuke trailed off for a moment, doing that.
Krad laughed again. "That's something both you and Satoshi don't seem to understand." Krad said.
What's that? Daisuke asked, confused.
"That Satoshi...is mine." Krad said possessively.
Daisuke fell silent for a few moments. He looked at Satoshi's back with a sympathetic look. I never thought Hiwarati had to deal with this.
Krad just laughed cruelly.
Daisuke shivered for the hundredth time as he tried to fall asleep on the couch.
"Niwa, are you all right?" Satoshi asked.
"I-I'm f-f-fine." Daisuke chattered, shivering again.
"Niwa?" Satoshi sat up on the couch, studying Daisuke's back. Then he realized the problem. "You didn't bring a coat or even a sweater. You must be freezing." Satoshi stated.
"No! I'm f-f-fine, r-r-real-l-ly." Daisuke said, sitting up.
Satoshi got up and walked over to Daisuke. He kneeled in front of him, studying his face.
"H-H-H-H-Hiwarati?" Daisuke stuttered, mostly from the cold, but also because of nerves.
Satoshi studied him and removed his coat, pushing it into Daisuke's arms. "Your lips are already turning blue." He said.
Daisuke looked at the coat and then up at Satoshi in surprise and shock. "B-b-b-but w-w-what ab-b-b-out y-you?" Daisuke stuttered.
"I'll be fine." Satoshi said, not meeting Daisuke's eyes before standing up and turned away.
"No!" Daisuke declared, standing up and moving in front of Satoshi, pushing the coat back in his arms. "Y-you k-keep it." He said as firmly as he could.
Satoshi pushed it back. "You need it more right now. You keep it."
"You'll f-f-freeze and your s-s-s-shirt is l-l-l-lighter." Daisuke said, pushing it back. "You keep it."
"You keep it." Satoshi said, pushing it back.
"N-no, y-you k-keep it." Daisuke said, pushing it back.
This continued for a while, each boy pushing the coat back to the other, insisting the other keep it.
"Hiwarati! Y-you're al-l-lready doing t-t-to m-m-much to p-p-protect me. I'm not t-t-t-taking the c-c-c-coat!" Daisuke declared, pushing the coat back to Hiwarati and turned around, crossing his arms.
Daisuke heard Satoshi sigh and the rustle of him putting on the coat. Daisuke smiled and shivered again. He started to turn around. "G-g-good. Glad you l-l-l-lis..." Daisuke started to say, but froze when Satoshi wrapped his arms around him from behind. "H-H-Hiwarati?"
"If you won't take the coat to stop yourself from freezing, then we'll have to sleep together to keep warm." Satoshi whispered into Daisuke's ear.
Daisuke's eyes widened and shivered again, but not from the cold this time. "H-H-Hiwarati? W-what are you s-s-saying?"
"If we sleep close to each other, our shared body heat will keep us from freezing. You don't mind do you Niwa? Because this is the only way I'm keeping the coat." Satoshi stated firmly.
Daisuke blushed and was glad Satoshi couldn't see his face. "W-w-well, I g-g-g-guess it's o-o-o-okay." Daisuke stuttered.
Satoshi didn't speak and pulled Daisuke down onto the couch with him, keeping his arms around Daisuke as they lay down.
"W-w-wouldn't it b-b-be easier s-s-s-sitting u-u-u-up?" Daisuke asked, stuttering more from nerves than cold now.
"We get less air flow here and we have to stay close or someone will fall off. We'll stay warmer this way." Satoshi said, shifting so he and Daisuke were comfortable.
"W-well, if you're s-sure..." Daisuke said, still tense.
"Just relax or you'll never get to sleep." Satoshi whispered in Daisuke's ear.
Daisuke was tense before the heat started to sink in. This actually feels nice and almost...right. I guess this is okay for tonight... Daisuke thought, drifting off to sleep.
Satoshi didn't sleep quite yet, memorizing Daisuke's scent. He smells like cinnamon and fall...this is probably the only time I can hold him like this. Satoshi thought, his grip tightening slightly. It's not I can tell him...I...love...him... Satoshi thought before falling asleep.
However, someone was awake. A certain phantom thief...
Dark was silent as Satoshi slept. A way to break their curse, but also the end. This is not gonna be easy. Dark thought before going to sleep.
Black Siren watched from the shadows, silent. She was wearing necklace with the aura of sealed magic.
"It looks like he's not going to tell." Anaen said.
Oh? Why not? They seem pretty cozy together. Black Siren asked.
"No, Satoshi would have said something by now. He doesn't he think Niwa will like him." Anaen said.
Hm, so I see. However, that's why I got this. Black Siren said, holding up a package.
"Sairen, what is that?" Anaen asked.
Let's just say Maria had a black sheep brother. Sairen said, slipping the package into Daisuke's bag. You gonna be able to get out alone?
"Huh? Oh! So that's what it is. Yeah, I can get out." Anaen answered.
Okay... Hey Anaen?
"Yeah?"
Thanks. Sairen said before pulling out the flute, playing a few soft notes.
Anaen closed the bag and stood up straight. She stared at the bag. "Good luck...aibou." She whispered and left silently.
Satoshi slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the mop of red hair and smiled slightly. That was probably the best night of sleep I've ever had. At least since... Satoshi frowned and pushed away the thought.
"Are you always such a morning person?" Dark grumbled, the rush of emotions waking him.
Satoshi tensed and growled quietly. It's none of your business. Besides, it's for the best. If someone found Daisuke and me like this, they'll jump to conclusions. Satoshi thought, annoyed.
"I'm guessing the conclusions you'd wish would happen." Dark said, sounding serious.
Satoshi's eyes widened as panic went through him. "W-what!" He nearly yelled. What makes you say that? That's not true! You couldn't have hea...
"Whoa, calm down. I was joking. Seesh, you and Daisuke both need to learn to calm down." Dark said with a chuckle.
Dark... Satoshi thought warningly. Don't mess with me.
"Oh and why not?" Dark asked, tempting fate.
"Dark, leave Hiwarati alone." Daisuke mumbled sleepily, looking at Satoshi from the corner of his eye.
"How did you know he was bugging me?" Satoshi asked.
"You have the face I had when I first got Dark." Daisuke mumbled, still sleepy. "He's predictable."
"I'm not predictable!" Dark yelled.
Satoshi nodded. "Well, that's true."
"Hey!"
Daisuke looked at Satoshi for a moment and then started blushing and looked down at Satoshi's arms around his waist.
"Daisuke, are you all right?" Satoshi asked, sounding concerned.
"W-well, uh, do we still have to, uh, well..." Daisuke trailed off.
I don't want to let go. That thought flashed through Satoshi's mind and, not thinking about whom else was in his mind, decided to act dense.
"What are you trying to say?" Satoshi asked Daisuke, whispering into his ear.
Daisuke blushed even more. "Uh, well, um, I, uh, um." Daisuke stuttered.
"Yes?" Satoshi prompted.
"Well, uh, shouldn't we..." Daisuke started to turn his head, "be getting up no..." Daisuke froze as he stared at Satoshi's eyes, only an inch away from him. "Uhhh..."
"Are you sure you're all right?" Satoshi asked in an almost husky whisper.
"Y-yeah." Daisuke whispered, staring into Satoshi's eyes, slowly forgetting what he had been trying to say. I wonder what it would be like to kiss him for real? Daisuke thought. Before he realized it, he was leaning even closer slowly, closing his eyes.
Satoshi hesitated. He's going to... Satoshi closed his eyes, moving forward.
There lips were just a hair's width away now and they were going to close the distance when...
"What the hell are you doing Daisuke!" Dark yelled.
"Satoshi! I command you to stop!" Krad screamed.
"Ah!" Daisuke yelped and jerked back. Satoshi's eyes snapped open and loosened his hold on Daisuke. Just enough so when Daisuke jerked back, he started to fall. As he fell back, he grabbed Satoshi's shirt and pulled him along.
"What exactly were you planning Hiwarati!" Dark demanded.
Satoshi sighed and pushed up off the strangely warm floor. He paused when he saw the floor was actually Daisuke and he stared at the sight below him.
Daisuke was looking up at Satoshi with both his hands above his head and eyes closed tightly, his cheeks bright red, and his shirt lifted up to exposed most of the skin of his torso and panting.
Daisuke was trying to catch his breath again. When he hit the ground, all the wind was knocked out of him. He slowly opened his eyes and gasped at the sight above him.
He stared at Satoshi. His glasses were gone, discarded the night before and apparently so was the coat, his hair cascading around his face and his eyes were half lidded, looking at Daisuke with a look he didn't understand. During the fall, it seemed Daisuke had ripped off some of the buttons of Satoshi's dress shirt, allowing Daisuke a clear view of Satoshi's beautifully ivory skinned body.
Of course, that just made Daisuke blush a deeper red. Is this another dream? Daisuke wondered.
"What do you think you were doing! Satoshi is mine! I'll kill you if you dare touch him you, you, you hussy!" Krad screamed.
Daisuke blushed even more. "So this isn't a dream?" He said aloud.
Satoshi blinked a few times, the strange look disappearing. "A dream? Why would you think this is a dream?" He asked, curious. Does he think this is that unlikely or has he had dreams like this?
"Don't answer Daisuke!" Dark yelled.
Daisuke blushed a darker red. "W-well, um..." Daisuke trailed off.
"Go on. Why don't you tell him you lust after him so he can hate you now instead of later." Krad taunted.
H-hate me! Daisuke thought worriedly when suddenly his body started to burn in an all too familiar way. "Um, sorry! I have to use the, uh, restroom!" Daisuke said, scrambling out from beneath Satoshi and made a mad dash for the bathroom.
Daisuke closed and locked the door behind him. He leaned with his back against the door and looked up when the burning subsided. His eyes then widened in fear and tensed to run when he realized...he was looking at a mirror.
He looked down at his body. "Why...did I change into Krad?" He muttered.
"You what! What do you mean you changed into me?" Krad questioned, sounding threatening.
I...don't know. Daisuke thought. I thought you always forced Hiwarati to change.
Krad was silent.
"I thought so." Dark said.
You can't tell Daisuke. Satoshi thought in a low voice.
"Why not?" Dark asked.
Please don't tell him. Satoshi asked.
"I think he should know that he's got a secret admirer." Dark teased.
"Don't tell him!" Satoshi snapped aloud.
"Again, why not?" Dark asked. "I mean, you turned into me, so that means you love Daisuke."
Satoshi was silent for a few moments, clenching his now slightly tanned hands. Yes...I do. I know he loves Riku Harada. I've seen them together. They may not be a couple yet, but...I value Daisuke's friendship. I don't want to lose it just because I fell in love with him. Satoshi told the thief, forcing out the words he didn't really want to say. I know you hate me, but please don't tell him. Think about it as a thank you for making sure Krad didn't hurt Daisuke. You both work better with healthy hosts after all.
Dark was silent for a minute, remembering the deal Satoshi made with Krad. "All right. I won't tell. Thief's honor."
I'm not sure if I can trust a thief's honor. Satoshi thought.
"Don't have much of a choice. However, Krad might not stay silent." Dark said.
Satoshi didn't answer. How do I change back? He asked.
"Let me out." Dark said.
I'm not gonna trust you with that smirk. Satoshi said, looking back at Dark.
"Okay, okay. Just think about Riku." Dark commented.
Riku? All right. Satoshi thought about what he knew about the girl and changed back to normal. He looked down and sighed. Dark?
"Yeah?"
…thank you. He said.
Dark was silent.
How do I change back? Daisuke asked.
"I'm not sure I should tell you." Krad replied.
What! Why not? Daisuke whined.
"Because Satoshi can find out a lot about you then." Krad answered.
Huh? What does he find out? Daisuke asked, panicking.
"Again, is there a reason to tell you?" Krad countered.
Ah! You're worse than Dark! Daisuke cried.
"Well, at least I'm not a thief." Krad replied.
Daisuke sighed. And this is you nice, isn't it? At least I can understand Satoshi somewhat. Daisuke thought and blushed when he remembered what just happened. Was I about to kiss him? Daisuke wondered and froze. He looked at his reflection. "I'm me again, but why?" He wondered.
"You do know you've been in here nearly 15 minutes." Krad pointed out.
"Huh?" Daisuke looked down at his watch. "Ah! Satoshi gonna be wondering where I am!" Daisuke cried. He reached for the door and hesitated. "But what do I say? I mean...how can he not wonder about what happened?" He said aloud. "AHH! THIS IS THE DREAM ALL OVER AGAIN!" Daisuke cried, pulling at his hair.
"Niwa? Are you all right?" Satoshi called through the door.
Daisuke froze and looked at the door. "Um, yeah...I'm okay." He answered, laughing nervously.
"Well, you should come out soon. The heat turned on so someone is gonna be here soon." Satoshi said.
"Um, all right. Just a minute." Daisuke said. He took a deep breath and let out slowly. Okay, I'm calm and I can do this. Its just Hiwarati and he doesn't even have Krad. Yeah. Nothing to worry about. Daisuke thought, pulling down his shirt before unlocking the door and opening it with his usual smile.
"Sorry about that Hiwa...ta...ri." Daisuke trailed off, staring at Satoshi. His shirt was still open and Daisuke started blushing again. "Um, uh, y-your shirt." Daisuke stuttered, going beet red as the memory came back of just 15 minutes ago.
Satoshi looked down at his shirt. "All the top buttons flew off." Satoshi said calmly.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen, I swear!" Daisuke apologized profusely.
Satoshi looked up, his usual cold expression on. "It's all right. We have to stop by my house anyway to pick up my stuff." He said.
"Stuff? But we don't have school today." Daisuke said.
"I know. I meant for staying at your house." Satoshi said in a calm, even voice.
"Oh, okay." Daisuke said and then what Satoshi had said sunk in. "WHAT! You're staying at my house! Why!"
"Calm down. It's the most logical thing to do. We can do the change as soon as it's found and…" Satoshi faltered for a moment, his voice becoming colder. "I'm the only one who can stop Krad."
Daisuke stared for a minute and then nodded. "Yeah, that's true. Um, I think I should call my mom first."
"You can call when we get to my apartment." Satoshi said, turning around. "Let's grab our books."
"You can really stop laughing." Satoshi said icily.
"Sorry, but, haha, that was funny! That cop look like he was, haha, gonna wet himself when he found out you were the commander!" Dark gasped out while laughing.
Daisuke sighed. "I can't believe they thought we were vandals. Thanks for getting us out of that Hiwarati." Daisuke said.
"Satoshi." Satoshi replied.
"Huh?" Daisuke looked confused.
"We've been through a lot together Niwa. I think it's all right for you to call me by my first name." Satoshi said.
Daisuke stared and then smiled. "Fine, but you have to call me Daisuke...Satoshi." Daisuke countered.
Satoshi smiled slightly. "All right then Daisuke."
To Be Continued...
