WOW! I updated kinda quick, well just cuz it's Saturday and I was bored...and other crap like that...For some odd reason I've been in a Jewel mood lately...Not her new crap either! That stuff sucks (my point of view) Um, yea, sorry, umm, I'll stop rambling now.


The next few weeks went by and Chokuro came very adapted. She was now used to going to school and getting up early etc. She even has been adapted to the new technology.

When Chokuro stood up from her bed, she almost fell over.

"Woooh. Not fun. Okay, I think I'm better now."

On that, Chokuro left for the kitchen to find something to eat. When she was looking at the food, she did not have an appetite for anything.

Okay, I feel nauseous and dizzy. How fun. No matter, I'll go get ready for school.

Chokuro returned back to her room and got situated for school. When she was finished, she went to the door and waited for Daisuke.

"Morning Chokuro. Ready?"

"Yup."

"You've been keeping your hair down lately. I'm surprised."

"Yea. Eh, I dunno. It makes Dark happy, and as much as he's mean to me. I don't like it when he's sad."

They arrived at school and Chokuro did not feel any better. Now, it was starting to annoy her.

Stupid nasty feeling…I hate feeling like this …Grrrr… Eh, maybe it will pass…

"Chokuro?" Daisuke was looking at Chokuro with much concern for her.

"Yes?"

"Are you feeling okay?"

"Perfectly fine!" Chokuro forced a smile to appear.

"Okay…" Daisuke didn't look convinced, but he had to turn around because class was starting.

As time went on, Chokuro just got worse and worse. It was annoying the teen even worse now.

Okay…This sucks… Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it… How can I not? I feel like I'm gunna puke…. Okay, I'm going to the nurse…quickly too!

"Teacher?" Chokuro said with a much-emphasized raise of the hand.

"Yes Chokuro?"

"I need to go to the nurse."

"Okay, you can go."

"Thank you."

Chokuro stood up from her seat a little too fast, which wasn't a good idea. She took a few wobbly steps to the door and collapsed. Luckily, Satoshi had come in late and caught her just before she hit the floor.

"Sensei, I'll take her to the nurse."

Satoshi picked Chokuro up in his arms and was out the door.

"Thank you Satoshi."

-Phew. Thank you Satoshi. I hope Chokuro is okay…

In the nurse's room, Satoshi placed Chokuro on one of the beds and waited for her to wake up. It was 10:30 before Chokuro did.

"Mmmm…" Chokuro stirred in the bed. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see who was sitting next to her. "Satoshi?"

"Yea?"

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"Catching me and bringing me here."

"Oh. Yeah. You're welcome."

After a few moments of awkward silence, Chokuro asked, "Why are you here? Not that I mind, it's just that… I dunno."

"I suppose I wanted to see how you were."

"Aw, I'm touched."

"Yea. I'm going back now that you're fine."

"Thank you once again."

"Yea. Bye"

"Tootle."

Chokuro sat staring at the ceiling, thinking. But, she did not get much thinking done because Daisuke came running in.

"Chokuro! You're okay!"

She sat up and just laughed at how scared Daisuke looked. "Yes. Of course."

"That's good."

"Yup." She smiled at the redhead.

"How do you feel?"

"Eh. Been better."

"Okay. Well, I should be getting back. I'll come back after school. So we can walk home together."

"'Kay. Till then, I'm sleeping." She said with a laugh and Daisuke returned the laugh and was off. Chokuro slept until the bell for school to end woke her up with a jump.

"Argh, stupid bell. I was having a good dream."

"Okay, Chokuro, are you ready?"

"Been."

"Not just yet." The nurse came out of her office and to the two teens' side. "Chokuro is not to come to school tomorrow. You make sure you tell her guardian."

"Okay." Daisuke said with a nod. "Chokuro, can you walk okay?"

"Yup."

Chokuro was still a little wobbly when she walked, but she could still walk. It concerned Daisuke a lot that she was walking shakily; it concerned Dark even more though.

-Daisuke…

-Yea?

-Let me take over.

-Why?

-So I can carry Chokuro…Look at her.

-Well, we can't do it in the middle of the street.

-True… Go to a restaurant or something.

-Fine.

"Chokuro…"

"Hmm?"

"I need to use the bathroom, can we go to the restaurant over there?" Daisuke questioned with a nudge of his thumb in the direction of a café.

"Sure. I'll wait outside."

"Okay. I won't be long."

-Are you happy now?

"Very. Thanks."

Chokuro was leaning against the building looking like she was going to collapse at any moment. Dark exited from the building and walked over to Chokuro who was very stunned to see Dark. But, before she could say anything, Dark lifted her off her feet and carried her in his arms.

"… Dark?"

"Yea?"

"Why are you here?"

"Because you're sick and I don't want you to walk all the way home."

"And you don't think anyone's gunna notice you?"

"Why would they?"

"Umm, you're the Phantom Thief… You're face is all over the news. Need I say more?"

"Eh. It's okay."

"All right."

"You wanna know somethin'?"

"Sure."

"You are really light."

"Uhh, thanks?"

"Yup. Also, you don't sound sick."

"Umm, yes, well I normally don't…. Well, unless I have a cold and my nose is all runny and or stuffy."

Dark just laughed at the girl in his arms as he stopped in front of their house.

"We're home."

"Okay. I can walk from here you know."

"I know. But I don't wanna let you go." Dark said with a wink.

"Whatever suits ya."

Dark carried Chokuro to her bedroom and placed her, delicately, on the bed."

"Thanks…Yet again."

"Welcome… Call if you need anything." With that, Dark started for the door.

"You're leaving?"

"I dunno… I was planning on it."

"It's always weird."

"What?"

"When I get to see you. Cuz when you leave, you turn back to Daisuke… Not that I have a problem with Daisuke… it's just that… I dunno."

"Well, I could stay for a little."

" 'Kay."

Dark sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Chokuro curled up in a ball. The purple-haired-teen laughed as Chokuro yawned.

"Well, I think you should go to bed. So I'll leave you."

"'Kay." Chokuro said weakly as she engulfed herself in her blankets. Chokuro slept until it was 9:00 at night, when her stomach woke her up.

"Aww man, I'm hungry…"

Chokuro staggered down the hallway to the kitchen where there was Dark.

"Dark?" Chokuro questioned.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"You have a job?" Chokuro said getting away from the topic.

"Yes, but shouldn't you be in bed?"

"Maybe, but I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'll make you something."

"No, it's fine. I'll make something for myself."

"But you're sick."

Chokuro was ignoring Dark and going to the cupboards looking for something she could eat.

"Just because I'm sick, doesn't mean I'm helpless."

"True. But…" Dark walked over to Chokuro and picked her up again. "You are going back to your room. I'll bring you something."

Chokuro sat with her arms folded across her chest in silent protest.

"You know something…"

"What?"

"I don't know. It seemed like the thing to say."

"Wow. Maybe you are sick."

"Heh. Thanks."

"Well, here you go." Dark said as he placed Chokuro on her bed. "What can I get for you?"

"I don't know. Toast or something would be fine."

"Coming right up Mademoiselle."

Chokuro sat quietly on her bed while she waited for Dark to return. He came back a few minutes later with toast and ginger ale.

"Here you go. But, I have to go, so I'll see you when I come back."

"Okay. Thanks."

"Yup."

After finishing her dinner, Chokuro got up and put her favorite CD on; Linkin Park.

"Okay. Woo hoo! Go Linkin Park! Okay, I think I'm tired…But I'm more bored. And I really need to learn to stop talking to myself…No matter, I'll draw something."

Chokuro leaned over the side of her bed to get her sketchpad since it was under the bed. She retrieved it and sat up.

"Woooh, head-rush. Okay, now to find my hair-tie…Oh! Found it!" She took her hair-tie and put her hair in a loose bun. "Now, what to draw… Whatever… it'll come to me." With that, she took out her pencil and started drawing. She lost track of time and before she knew it, Dark was in her doorway.

"Whatcha drawin?"

Chokuro jumped out of her trance and looked at Dark.

"Umm, I really have no clue."

"How can you not know what you're drawing?" Dark said as he strolled over to the bed and looked at what Chokuro created.

-Whoa, she draws really well.

"Thanks Daisuke, but I'm not that good.

"You're kidding, right?"

Chokuro shook her head. "No. I dunno, I suppose its just cuz I made it so I see the flaws."

"What flaws? I feel like I'm in the picture."

"Heh. Thanks." Chokuro finally looked at what she drew. There was dragon in the center with trees folding in on it.

"Yes, well, since you're fine. I'm going."

"Okay. I think I'm gunna go to bed anyways. So until tomorr-- Aw man, I have to stay here tomorrow…Grr…"

"Well, you're sick. People tend to stay home when they are."

"So?"

"Never mind."

"Good night Dark."

"Night."

"Night Daisuke."

-Good night Chokuro.
