I love all my friends! YESSERS! Umm, yea...I really have NO clue why I'm writing here, but it seems blah w/o it! Thanks for reading this far wink makes me happy! .


It was a new day. Chokuro and Daisuke were on their way to school.

"Okay Daisuke, I hope that today is a LOT better."

"So do I."

They entered the class and once again, there was only the blue-haired boy there.

"Hey, Daisuke?" Chokuro whispered to Daisuke. "What's his name?" She nudged a thumb in the blue-hairs direction.

"Oh, that's Satoshi Hiwatari."

"Thanks." She turned away from Daisuke and to Satoshi. "Um, Satoshi?" He looked up from the book he was reading. "I wanted to thank you for yesterday."

"Oh, yes. You're welcome."

She walked over and sat backwards in the chair that was in front of Satoshi's desk.

"Can I do something for you?" The blunette inquired.

"Yea, you seem vaguely familiar." Chokuro looked at him for a while thinking of where she could know him from. Then it hit her.

-'Satoshi-sama'

-'What?"

-'That girl…'

-'What about her?'

-'I know her.'

-'How could you know her?'

-'I can't remember.'

Satoshi sighed at the idiot he had to share his body with.

The rest of the class shuffled into the classroom and some girl with blonde hair kicked Chokuro out of the seat she was in.

"Chokuro, what did you talk to Satoshi about?" Daisuke asked as Chokuro returned to her seat behind him.

"Eh, nothing too much."

"Oh okay."

"Okay class," The teacher started while handing out papers. "Pop-test" The class was in one big look of shock. "All except for Chokuro, because she's new."

"Umm, Miss?"

"Yes Chokuro?"

"I'll take it…I don't mind."

"Okay. You can take all the time you would like until lunch." She handed the papers needed for each row and the room was filled with the sound of pen connecting with the paper.

Roughly 45 minutes after the tests were passed back, Chokuro was finished. Since no one else seemed to be finishing any time soon, she decided to draw on the back of her test paper. Chokuro became entranced with her drawing, she didn't know what she was drawing, her hand just moved along the paper gracefully creating an image.

30 minutes passed and most of the class was finished with their tests. The noise of the class finally snapped Chokuro out of her trance. She looked at what she created and was very surprised by what she saw; it was the spot where Dark stole her first kiss. Chokuro didn't have too much time to be surprised because the teacher told everyone to pass in their papers. Chokuro took the papers from behind her and put it underneath hers, so no one could see what she drew.

The time until lunch passed and the drawing went to the back of Chokuro's mind. The girl who saved her yesterday walked towards Chokuro.

"Hey." Riku said with a smile.

"Hi!" Chokuro said looking up at her.

"Can I eat lunch with you and Dai-chan?"

"I don't mind. Pretty sure Daisuke doesn't either…Right Daisuke?"

"Whah?" Daisuke turned around with a clueless look.

"You don't mind if Riku joins us for lunch, right?"

"Of course not." Daisuke smiled at Riku, blushing slightly.

"Alright." Riku took her lunch out and sat in the seat next to Chokuro.

"You know something." Chokuro said looking at Daisuke and Riku.

"What?" They responded together.

"You two do make quite the cute couple."

Both Riku and Daisuke turned equal shades of red. Chokuro laughed at how cute they were.

"So, Chokuro." Riku asked after her face was more to its normal color.

"Yes?" She said with a slight laugh.

"How old are you?"

"Oh, um, 16."

"Then why are you in our grade. You should be in a higher grade."

"Yes, I know. But I started school late… And since I am overall starting a new school, Emiko didn't want me to be alone in class. So she put me in your guys' grade."

"Oh, okay."

"Yo, Daisuke!" The dark haired boy with the press pass came over and sat next to Daisuke. "So, who is this…" He pointed to Chokuro. "…Again?"

"Oh, that's Chokuro." Daisuke answered the boy.

"And who is she exactly?"

"Ummmm…" Daisuke was looking for something he could tell his friend.

"Hey!" Chokuro yelled at the dark haired boy, he didn't acknowledge her. "HEY! Boy with the press!"

He looked at Chokuro and said, "What?"

"I am sitting right here, you could ask me you know. Considering the questions are about me."

"Fine. So who are you exactly?"

"A friend of Daisuke's."

"Still doesn't answer my question of who you are." Chokuro was getting annoyed with this kid and opened her mouth to respond, but closed it knowing it was not going to be nice, she clenched her fists and sat quietly.

"To me, she looks like someone who wants to hurt you." Riku gave her input on the conversation.

Daisuke, as did Dark, finally noticed that Chokuro did, in fact, look like she was about to hurt someone. Daisuke seemed very concerned.

-HAHA…he's dead.

"Umm, Takeshi?" Daisuke looked at his friend.

"Yea?"

"I think you should apologize."

"Apologize? For what?"

"I really don't know, but I think it has to do with you not talking directly to Chokuro."

"So! That's no reason to want to hurt someone."

-For Chokuro, it could be. Dark was enjoying this. Normally, it was him who would be the target of Chokuro's anger, but not today.

"I'm …" Chokuro said standing up. "… Leaving." With a turn of her heel, she left the room. She didn't know where she was going, since it was only her second day, but she decided to try and find her way outside. Where she wound up, was the rooftop.

Eh, better than inside… Is that Satoshi?

Chokuro noticed Satoshi sitting there eating his lunch. She walked over to him wondering what he was doing up here.

"Hi." Chokuro said when in front of Satoshi. The blue-haired boy looked up at her, startled.

"… Hi?"

"What are you doing up here?"

"I'm eating my lunch."

"Okay, that I can see, but why are you alone? I mean, I know Daisuke would eat with you… So… why?"

Satoshi just shrugged at the girl. Then, trying to get away from the topic asked, "You do know that different colored hair is not allowed."

"Umm, hello? Hypocrite much?"

Satoshi looked at his hair, then to her. "I was born with this color."

"Well, so was I."

"But, it's white..."

"Yes, well. Don't know what to tell you, that's just how it is." Noticing the non-convinced look on Satoshi's face, she continued. "I'd offer you to ask my mom, but she died a long time ago."

"…Oh…um…sorry." The blunette didn't know how to respond.

"Eh, it's okay." The bell rang for lunch to end and Satoshi and Chokuro walked back to class. They entered the room and returned to their designated seats and class continued. The bell rang for the end of school and Daisuke and Chokuro walked out together.

"Chokuro?"

"Yes?"

"Where did you go when you left?"

"Oh, I was on the rooftop."

"Oh."

They walked in silence until Chokuro remembered something.

"Hey, Daisuke."

"Hmm?"

"I'll meet you at home, okay?"

"Yea…but…"

"Thanks!" Chokuro left Daisuke standing there looking confused. He was even more confused when he saw her go up to Satoshi. But, he continued on his way to his house while Chokuro followed Satoshi.

"Satoshi!" Chokuro called to the blue-haired boy. He didn't do anything. "Satoshi!" Chokuro said a little louder then before, no response. Chokuro was getting flustered by Satoshi not answering, until an idea hit her. "Hikari!" That stopped Satoshi right where he stood. With a triumphant smirk on her lips, Chokuro walked up to Satoshi.

"How'd you know?" Satoshi inquired of Chokuro.

"I have my ways."

"Yea, so what do you want?"

-'Satoshi-sama'

-'What?'

-'I don't like her.'

-'I don't either.'

"Hey, Satoshi."

Satoshi looked at her.

"I'd watch what you say to Krad." Chokuro said matter-of-factly.

Both Satoshi and Krad were stunned by what Chokuro said.

-'How did she know what I said? Or even about me?'

-'I don't know.'

Chokuro couldn't help but giggle at the boy in front of her.

"What?"

"I find it hilarious that even after this, Krad still doesn't remember me."

Satoshi stared at Chokuro cluelessly while Krad tried to remember Chokuro.

"Still can't think of it Krad?"

-'No.'

"Here's a hint: 300 years ago was when you met me… Help any?"

"How is that possible?"

"I'm waiting for Krad. If he remembers, then he can tell you."

-'NO! It…it can't be! You're supposed to be a statue!'

"Yes, well, apparently, your curses suck. And, do not last forever."

Now, Satoshi was even more lost.

-'Krad…What are you talking about?'

-'She's supposed to be a statue! I cursed her. But how is she here!'

"Umm, you said, and I quote: 'Until your blood is no more, you shall forever be stone.' And, while you probably thought, that meant literally, MY blood. It wasn't. It was my family. So, that means, since my family is 'no more' I am here."

-'Stupid loopholes.'

"Hah. Well, it serves you right. But, not why I'm here."

"Then why are you here?"

"You."

"…"

"I need your help."

"Okay?"

"I just want to make sure my presumption about the curse is correct."

"And, how can I help?"

"You're the genius."

Satoshi looked at Chokuro, not knowing what to say.

"Don't you have a program or something, that can look up family lines?"

"Yes, but you said it yourself. The curse said until your 'blood' was no more."

"Yes, I know that. I also, just said that I wanted to check my theory." Chokuro was getting frustrated towards the blue-haired-boy.

"Fine."

-'Satoshi-sama?'

-'What.'

-'Why are you helping her?'

-'I don't know.'

"I bet its cuz you wanna know too."

"…"

"Heh. Thought so."

After a few minutes of walking in dead silence, Satoshi announced, "Okay, we're here."

"Yay."

Satoshi went inside and turned on the lights with Chokuro following behind him.

"Nice place. So, you live here alone?"

"Yes."

"Wow. I could never. I don't like being alone. But, not the point. Onto the family search."

"Oh, yeah."

Satoshi took out his laptop and sat on the couch.

"What's your last name?"

"Ieshtai."

"Okay."

There was dead silence except for the sound of Satoshi typing and Chokuro fidgeting on the floor next to him.

"Found it."

"Really! Yay."

"Yes, and you were right… your family did die off."

"When?"

"Ummm, a few days ago actually. Hinkan Ieshtai… died a few days ago of heart failure… No children or siblings… So, I guess you were right."

"Yea, I guess so." Chokuro sighed as she got up from the floor. "Well, thank you, Satoshi. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye."

She headed for the door and left for her home. When she finally arrived, it was already seven. She walked in to see Dark standing in the middle of the living room.

"Hey Dark."

"Hey!… You look bummed."

"Eh. So what are you stealing tonight?" Chokuro asked as she plopped on the couch.

"You." Dark said playfully, trying to cheer her up. It worked.

"Oh really now?"

"Yea, whatcha gunna do about it?"

"Nothing. It's just that I would've thought my first kiss was enough for you." Chokuro stated looking up at Dark.

-Whoa Dark. You stole her first kiss!

-Yea, so what's your point?

-Nothin.

Chokuro got up from the couch and stood in front of Dark.

"Thank you Dark."

"For what?"

"Cheering me up."

"Oh. You're welcome."

"Well, I'm gunna go take a shower. Good luck with whatever you're stealing."

"Thanks."

Chokuro left for her room to brush her hair; then she finally go into the shower five minutes later.

-Dark, are you ready?

-Not yet.

-Why? What are you planning on doing?

-Just wait and see.

-Dark!

Dark went down the hall to the bathroom door to hear if the water was running.

-Okay… She's in the shower…

-Dark?

-Don't worry Dai-chan, I'm not gunna do anything.

Dark continued down the hall to Chokuro's room.

-Dark? Why are you in Chokuro's room?

-You'll see.

Dark went over to the dresser where Chokuro kept her brush … and hair-tie.

-Hah! Got it. Dark took the hair-tie and placed it in his pocket. He left Chokuro's room and was on his way to his mission.

-Dark?

-What?

-Why did you take Chokuro's hair-tie? Dark and Daisuke were on their way back from stealing the Chain of Memories when Daisuke finally decided to ask Dark about the hair-tie.

-Because, her hair looks better when it's down.

-She's not gunna be happy.

- I know, but it will be worth it.

Dark landed on the front steps and just as he was opening the door, he changed back into Daisuke.

"Dark! What was that for?"

Daisuke's question was answered. When an angry Chokuro was standing in front of him with her hand on her hip.

"…"

"Daisuke…"

"Yes?" Daisuke said cautiously.

"Turn back into Dark for me."

"I-I can't…"

Chokuro took out a picture of Riku from her pocket and shoved it in Daisuke's face.

"Crap."

"Dark…" Chokuro said tapping her foot on the ground. "I am not in the mood. Give me my hair-tie."

"But, you look so much better without it."

"Thanks, but I still want it back."

"I will give it back on one condition."

"What's that?"

"Tomorrow, you wear your hair down."

Chokuro looked at Dark for a while before finally saying, "No."

"Fine. Then I get my way anyways."

"How do you figure?"

"I still have your hair-tie."

"… Dammit."

Dark was very pleased with the power he had at the moment.

"Fine! You win."

"'Kay, but your still not getting your hair-tie back."

"What would be the point?"

"I dunno."

"Well, whatever, I'm going to bed. Good night Dark…Daisuke."

"Night."

­-Good night, Chokuro.
