Chapter 7

He was angry. No! Beyond angry. He was fucking pissed off at that damn Satoshi! How dare that blue haired freak take what was rightfully his! Oh four eyes was going to pay alright!

Krad smiled amusedly at his friend Dark who was glaring daggers at the blue haired boy, who was sitting a couple of seats ahead of them in class. Dark had been acting like this for a week now and Krad found it very entertaining. "You do realize no matter how hard you glare at him he won't burst into flames."

"He deserves worse than that!" Dark hissed lowly so the teacher wouldn't hear. "Daisuke was mine! He has no right taking him away from me!"

Krad snickered at his friend. "I hope you noticed that you sounded like a possessive boyfriend. But honestly Dark I know how much you enjoyed torturing that boy, as did I, but there are plenty of other people out there whose lives we could ruin."

Dark clenched his fist and glared heatedly at his friend. "I don't care damn it! I wasn't through with him yet! He was still mine and that damn Satoshi took him away from me before I was finished with him!"

"You know jealousy isn't very becoming Dark." Seeing Dark scowl at the comment Krad smirked. "Besides I think you're just upset that Daisuke yelled at you and you never got your revenge, which you shouldn't be by the way. There are only four people who know about Daisuke yelling at you and none of us are telling anyone so it's not like your reputation is on the line."

"You don't understand," Dark's voice became very solemn. Not wanting to listen to his friend anymore Dark rested his head on the desk and began to sulk. He was mad as heck at Satoshi at taking Daisuke away from him, but he also felt bad about what he did to the red head. He was so confused. He never felt bad before about playing jokes on people, but Daisuke had looked so miserable in the hospital.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.

Daisuke smiled as he took a bite out of his sandwich. Things had been going great this week, and he couldn't help but think things might get better. Of course he was a little nervous about Dark. He noticed earlier in one of his classes that Dark was glaring at Satoshi like he was going to kill the boy. He hoped that wasn't the case, because if it were things were going get very messy.

"Are you okay Daisuke?" Satoshi's silky smooth voice asked.

A blush covered Daisuke's face as he looked down at his lap in embarrassment. Satoshi had caught him day dreaming again. He really needed to stop daydreaming, especial about things as silly as a fight between Dark and Satoshi. "I'm fine Satoshi, just daydreaming."

With a nod Satoshi accepted Daisuke's answer and went back to reading a book. The two boys were sitting outside under of the school's trees eating lunch, or at least Daisuke was. Satoshi had finished his lunch already.

Taking another bite from his sandwich Daisuke gazed up at the sky. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, there was a cool breeze blowing and the grass was soft and wasn't one bit muddy. Yep today was the perfect day to be outside. Though it was a little too quiet for his liking.

Satoshi was a great guy and all, but he didn't seem to like conversing with Daisuke. He was probably still upset about him taking the fall for Krad and Dark. But the silence was the one thing Daisuke didn't like about hanging out with Satoshi. He knew at one point he would have enjoyed it, but now he missed the loud conversations he used to have all the time with Krad and Dark. Maybe in some sick and twisted way he missed them?

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.

Daisuke could feel his eyebrow twitching as he looked at the front of the class, for standing there in all her glory was Yume. How could she be here? This wasn't her class!

"HELLO STUDENTS!" Yume shouted to the class, stunning all who had seen her for the first time and making those who had seen her before groan. They were all doomed now. "I'm Yume, and don't any of you dare call me Yume-sensei or I'll give you detention! Now as I was saying I'm Yume and I'll be your substitute teacher!" Moans could be heard coming from the back of the class, but Yume kept smiling that perky smile of hers.

"I know isn't it exciting," she said as if it were the greatest thing in the world.

One of the girls raised her hand and cautiously asked, "Why isn't Sarami-Sensei here?"

Yume's smile only seemed to grow more at the question. "Oh she didn't tell you? She's been sleeping around with a lot of men lately and she got pregnant, sadly she doesn't know who the father is."

Daisuke doubled blinked from the shock. Sarami-sensei had been sleeping around and was pregnant with some guy's child? That was impossible! Sarami-sensei always seemed so refined and proper. How could she do what Yume claimed?

"Now class today I'm assigning you a project, but guess what, you get partners!" The intelligent students in the classroom groaned while the less intelligent cheered, but this went unnoticed by Yume. "And guess what, before she left Sarami left a list with who was to be partnered with who! Isn't that wonderful."

Oh no! Daisuke thought. Please don't tell me this is like one of those cheap stories where the two people who hate each other most are paired up together! Please anything but that! Daisuke's prayers went unanswered however for at that moment…

"Daisuke and Dark you will be paired up together!"

Daisuke banged his head on his desk. Oh hell no! Why me? What god did I piss off to deserve this?

Over in the corner in the back of the class Dark sat in his seat stunned, but as the shock wore off an evil and cruel smile spread across his lips. Oh yes Daisuke was in trouble now.

Krad watched the smile grow on Dark's face and shook his head. He swore Dark's obsession with Daisuke wasn't healthy. Oh well as long as he got someone smart to work with on the project so he wouldn't have to do any of the work he was fine.

"Satoshi and Krad!"

Oh crap that pairing is even worse than mine! Daisuke thought. Curiosity getting the better of him, Daisuke turned in his seat to see Satoshi giving Krad an icy glare while Krad smiled back flirtatiously.

Yup, it's the end of the world and to think it all started with bad pairings for a school project.
