When Chokuro opened her eyes in the morning she saw Emiko standing a few feet away from her. She had on a very odd look on her face.

"Morning Emiko." Chokuro said sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"Morning. How do you explain this?" Emiko said looking behind Chokuro.

"Huh? What do you--" Chokuro had completely forgot about Dark. "Ooooo. Yea, um, it was his fault."

"What exactly was his fault?"

"Well, he came into my bed in the middle of the night and said Daisuke kicked him out and that he didn't want to sleep on the couch. And I was too tired to fight with him, so I let it be."

"Ookay?"

"Hold on a sec." Chokuro said holding up her index finger and turning. She knew that it was hard to wake Dark up, unless you know how. Chokuro took her leg and pushed Dark off the bed and onto the floor. He jumped up from the floor and looked at Chokuro.

"I would have gotten up if you had just tapped me…Not kick me on the floor."

"Um, no you wouldn't have."

"How do you know?"

"I've tried to wake you up before. That time I did it nicely too, it didn't work."

"Oh yeaa."

Emiko stood there, a little confused. Then, she just gave up. She knew they would not do anything. She turned and left the room, leaving the two to bicker.

"Question for you…"

"Yo?" She turned to Dark.

"Why exactly do you have three hair-ties?"

"Huh?"

Dark nudged his head in the direction of her headboard. It was metal and had swirls and curls that twisted to form the headboard itself. On one of the swirls had three hair-ties.

"Oh. I really don't know." Chokuro just shrugged then slid off the bed. "I'm going to get dressed."

Dark watched as Chokuro picked out her clothes from the dresser and left to the bathroom. He laid in bed and waited for her to return. She returned, dressed, and with her hands on her hips. Dark was still in bed, and his eyes were not open.

"Dark!"

"What?" He opened one eye and looked at her.

"Get up and get dressed!"

Chokuro walked over to the bed.

"Why?" Dark whined. "It's Sunday…" He turned his back to Chokuro and tucked the covers under his chin.

"Yes, well it might be Sunday but…." She lifted up the covers and jerked them to her with a lot of strength and speed; Dark was on the floor, again. "I need to make my bed."

"Ow! Fine! I'll go get dressed."

"All I ask."

Dark left the room mumbling to himself.

"Don't you mumble! I could read your mind you know, and solve this little problem." Chokuro yelled after Dark. He walked back into the room as Chokuro finished making the bed.

"What problem?"

"Of you mumbling. Normally, when you mumble, it's because you don't want the other person to hear what you're saying. But, if I were to read your mind, the mumbling would be pointless."

"And, how is that I a problem?"

"It is because I say it is. Now, go get dressed."

Chokuro pushed Dark out of her room and into the hallway.

"Fine, fine. I'm going." Dark went up to Daisuke's room and came back, dressed.

"Thank you." Chokuro said while leaning against the wall and looking up at Dark.

"Yea, yea."

The two walked into the kitchen where everyone was eating their breakfast and sat down. Chokuro sat down and placed her forehead on the table while Dark just sat there. Daike was reading the paper and having tea. Emiko was cooking, Daisuke and Kosuke were talking to each other. Kosuke and Daisuke stopped talking when Chokuro and Dark sat down.

"So," Kosuke started off. "I heard Dark and Chokuro slept together, last night."

"What! Dark, you didn't!" Daisuke looked at Dark, shocked.

"No, I didn't. It's just, when you kicked me out, I didn't want to sleep on the couch."

The look on Daisuke's face turned to more of a confused and not believing look. Chokuro picked her head up from the table and looked at Daisuke half-sleepidly. Random strands of her white bangs hanging in front of her eyes.

"Daisuke, do you really think Dark would do anything?"

"…"

"Well, think about it…You, Emiko, Kosuke AND Grandpa are ALL home. He wouldn't do anything when he knows you guys are here. He might be inconsiderate at times, but he's not that inconsiderate."

"I'm not inconsiderate." Dark mumbled under his breath. Chokuro rolled her eyes and continued.

"But, that's beside the point. I wouldn't let him do anything."

"Oh. I didn't think of that…"

"See." Chokuro returned her head to being on the table. "Told ya."

The guys were all looking at Chokuro. She didn't notice because her forehead was on the table but that was also why they were looking at her. When Emiko turned around with breakfast, she also looked at Chokuro, but she looked concerned.

"Cho, hunny…" Emiko said.

"Hmm?" Chokuro said as she looked up at her.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"Well, you were just sitting there with your head on the table. Are you tired?"

"Oh. That. O no, I'm not tired. It's comfortable, I suppose. I really don't know why I was lying my head on the table. Sorry."

"It's okay."

There were a few moments of silence before Emiko spoke again.

"Dark…"

He looked up at Emiko. "Yes?"

"We were discussing last night, while you two were out…And we have decided that, starting tomorrow, you will be going to Daisuke's school."

Dark looked stunned after Emiko said that.

"But, I am THE Phantom Thief Dark! People will…" Dark had a look of shock, confusion and some anger.

"We thought about that too." Emiko interrupted Dark. "And we will just say that you resemble him, but are not him. And that your mother had an odd sense of humor and named you Dark also…Or something like that."

"…"

"Oh, and Chokuro…"

She jumped slightly when she heard her name. "Yes?"

"You will be going with Dark also."

"What?" Chokuro had the same look Dark did. "But, even if you didn't put me in Daisuke's grade, I still wouldn't be in 12th, like Dark would be. More like 11 or 10!"

"Yes, we know. But on every test, not just most, every, you got a 100."

"And your point?"

"That you do not belong in a lower grade. You probably do belong in 12th."

Chokuro sighed. "Alright, whatever."

"So, Chokuro, Dark, today, we will be getting your uniforms."

The two had the same look of, 'I would rather jump off a bridge than do this.'

"Aww, c'mon, it'll be fun!" Emiko smiled at the two.

"Whatever." Dark said in a bored tone.

"Yea, I suppose it cant be that bad. BUT! I am not going to wear a skirt!"

"Yes, I know."

"Okay, thank you."

"So, are you two ready?"

"Sure why not." Chokuro said standing up. Dark stood up next to Chokuro with his hands in his pockets and shrugged.


Sorry for ANY changes from part tense to present... ANY other errors... and anything that seems out of place... my bad...
