Freak: Yes, yes, here's chapter 5. I have no excuse for not writing, and frankly, I'm too lazy to think one up. Sora's sort of turning into a cynical smart-ass, simply because I'M THE AUTHORESS, AND WHAT I SAY GOES! Hee hee hee. But he's only cynical in his thoughts, so it really doesn't affect the story 'much'.

Dark:WHEN DO I GET TO COME BACK! You said in the contract that I would!

Freak:Yes, but I never said when. So you might want to keep your mouth shut before I put you in the last chapter, tortured and dying, with only 2 people crying over you: To-To and Dai.

Dai:Yeah, Dark, shut up!

Sato/glare/ You're stalling . . .

Freak:Don't complain. I have no idea how many times I re-wrote this chapter. I could always turn it into one of those dead fanfics that never get updated because stupid people complained about stupid things!

Dark:NOOOOOOOOO! Then I'd never come back!

Sora/grin/ I saw the outline. This is turning into one crazy story! I doubt you're going to finish in 10 chapters!

Freak:SHUT IT, DORK! Anyways, here's the disclaimer & chapter! Have fun! And some sushi!

Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! Kingdom Hearts, nor DNAngel, nor Star Ocean: TTEOT, nor Monty Python's Flying Circus. If I did own any one of these things, I'd be a very happy person with a laptop that I could use to write more with!

Chapter 5: Lost . . .

((Daisuke's POV))

When we defeated the heartless, I suddenly found myself all alone in a misty, incredibly dark place. I was . . . frightened. But something came over me. I suddenly had a strange notion.

'Maybe Dark's here.' I don't know why I thought he'd be there and not somewhere else in this weird place, but I ran forward, full speed, intent on my search. Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I knew I was lost . . . but that wasn't important, and I paid it no mind.

((Dark's POV)) (42)

I don't know how long I'd been wandering there in that place alone to my thoughts. It was black and cool there, although not necessarily cold. Even so, I longed for the warmth my red-haired wonder gave me when he was with me. I never wanted to leave him. Never. But he had Riku-chan, and I didn't want to deprive him of a good life. Oh, well. At least I see him in my dreams . .

I paused in my tracks. 'Someone has come. I'm not alone.'

TBC . . . Very soon, I promise on my rice bowl.

Freak: Sorry. This was short. I had very little time to write it. I plan to write 2 POVs per chapter for awhile until they all meet up again. I never planned on writing in any POVs besides Sora and Daisuke's, but this makes things go much faster and saves a lot of impatience.

Dark: Yay! I was in the story! Finally!

Freak: Mmm . . . yes, but keep yourself in check, okay? Neither you nor Dai will be in the story for awhile.

Dai: Fine by me.

(42) There. Dark's here. So, all you freaky fangirls plaguing my e-mail, STOP BOTHERING ME! Not meaning you, my wonderful reviewers.
