I updated quickly! GO ME!... yes, well, when boredom hits...


The next morning, she woke at her usual time. Dark was still sleeping so she decided to wait until she was ready then wake him up. She left the bed, turned off her music then continued on with her routine. Fifteen minutes later, she was ready and went back into her room and saw Dark still sleeping.

She sighed then walked to the bedside. Making up her mind to try and wake him up 'nicely' she shook his shoulder. He only stirred and gave a groan.

"Fine. Be that way."

Chokuro took the covers and ripped them to her, Dark falling on the floor. He jumped up from the floor and looked at Chokuro.

"Hey, I tried waking you up nicely, it didn't work!" She said while making her bed.

"Try a little harder next time!"

"No. That takes time, and time we do not have."

Dark gave her a confused look.

"We have school…"

His eyes widened.

"Crap! What time do we have to be there?"

"Starts at 8:30."

"Okay, what's the time now?"

"Don't worry too much, it's only 7:10. Doesn't take too long to walk there." Chokuro ended up talking to no one because Dark had run into the bathroom. She left the room and went into the living room to wait. At 7:30, Daisuke entered the living room.

"Dark isn't out yet?" He questioned.

"Nope." Chokuro said looking bored.

"Want me to wait for you guys?"

"Oh no. I don't want you to be late as well. You can go. Besides, you start earlier than us."

"Okay. I'll see you later."

"Okay, bye"

Daisuke left Chokuro to wait. Finally, at 8:05, Dark emerged from the bathroom and into the living room to see a not too pleased Chokuro.

"Finally!" Chokuro said as she jumped up from the couch.

"What?" Dark said.

"You take sooo long." Chokuro said on their way out of the door. "You take longer than me!"

"So?"

"Dude. We are going to be late. It's 8:05. it takes 25 minutes to get to school."

"Shit!"

"When I said we had plenty of time, I didn't know you took so long in the bathroom. Jeeze! What did you do in there? Fall in?"

"No."

"Argh…Whatever." Chokuro said picking up her pace. After a few minutes of dead silence, Dark spoke.

"Chokuro…?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you mad?"

"Hmm?" She said a little taken aback. "No. Course not."

"Okay. I wasn't sure."

"I just hate walking in when the class is already started… Evil people always stare…"

Dark wasn't sure what he should do. Should he make a comment, or say he was sorry, or just stay dead silent like he was. He didn't know which to do, so he walked without saying anything. Chokuro started to walk even faster after glancing at her watch. Dark had to jog to catch up to her pace.

"Sorry, Dark, it's just, I don't want to make us later than we already are."

"It's okay…"

They reached the school at 8:35 and out of breath. Chokuro sat on the stairs to catch her breath and Dark leaned against the building.

"Okay. Us running was pointless; we're still late."

"Sorry…"

"Don't be. It's okay." She took a deep breath in then stood up. "Ready?"

"No."

"Well, you don't have a choice…yet again."

The two teens made their way through the front doors, passing all the classes in progress and finally arrived at room 205. Chokuro sighed as they stood in front of the door.

"Lady's first." Dark said motioning to the door.

"True. But not today." Chokuro took a step back to leave room for Dark to enter.

"Fine." He slowly opened the door and noise emerged once the door was open. Dark walked in first, Chokuro closely behind. The room they entered was pure chaos. Dark and Chokuro looked shocked; it was not what they expected. The teacher was leaning back in his chair with his feet on the desk reading a book. There were airplanes and papers all over. Desks were scattered every which way. The students were talking amongst themselves, and oblivious to the world around them. Dark and Chokuro didn't know what to do when they walked in. The teacher finally looked up from his book and noticed that they had walked in.

"Oh…Hello?" He said putting his feet on the ground and leaning on the desk. "You must be the new students."

Both nodded.

"Your names?"

"Niwa, Chokuro."

"Mousey, Dark."

"Alright…" He turned to the students. "Hey!" No one reacted. "HEY!" He yelled a little louder, nothing. He slammed his fists down on his desk. Chokuro jumped and inched closer to Dark. The room went silent. "Thank you…" The teacher seemed exhausted. "We have some new students." He turned to Chokuro and Dark. The two stood there, not knowing what they should do. "This is, Niwa Chokuro…" He pointed to Chokuro who was still recovering from the shock of everything, mostly the teacher hitting the desk. She gave a tiny smile that quickly faded as the guys gawked at her. The teacher pointed to Dark. "That's Mousey, Dark." Dark smiled at the class as the girls looked at him in awe.

"HEY!" Someone in the back of the class yelled. "Aren't you the Phantom Thief guy?"

Dark's left eye twitched.

-I knew this was gunna happen, but noooo…

-Dark, shoosh! It'll be fine. I'll explain for you.

-That won't help; it'll just make me look like a loser.

-Not the way I will

Chokuro gave a slide smile.

-I'm trusting you…

-Don't worry.

"No, he's not." Chokuro yelled to the guy who asked the question. "And it's a touchy subject for him, so, I ask you, please don't bring it up again…It won't be a pretty site…" Chokuro had on a very serious look that made the boy sit back down, nervously and apologizing.

-Told ya.

-Fine. Sorry I doubted you.

-It's okay.

"Okay." The teacher started. "You two go have a seat…wherever…" He returned to his seat.

Dark and Chokuro headed for two seats they saw open by the window. Chokuro took the seat behind Dark.

"You know, I just now realized, he never told us his name." Chokuro said.

"What are you talking about?" Dark asked turning around in his chair to face her.

"The teacher."

"What about him?"

"He never told us his name."

"Um, okay."

She shrugged. "I dunno…"

"Hi!" Came a voice out of nowhere. When Dark and Chokuro looked, they saw the owner of the voice. The owner was a girl with blond hair to the middle of her back; she had blue eyes and was about Daisuke's height so she was shorter than Chokuro.

"Hi?" Chokuro said shakily. The girl wore a big grin on her face; she really did look friendly. She looked around for a chair to sit in, but found none. She tapped a black-haired boy who's back was facing her. He turned around and looked at her. She motioned her head to the right and the boy left the seat.

"Thanks." She said as she took the seat. "So, you two are new?"

"N--"Dark was going to make a wise comment but Chokuro stopped him before he could. "Yes…we are."

"My name's Meenay Nami. You can call me Meena if you want."

"Hi. I'm Niwa Chokuro. And that" She nudged her head in Dark's direction. "is Dark." She finally looked at him. His head was on the desk and he was sleeping. "Argh. Give me a second…"

"Um, okay." Meena said, not sure what Chokuro was going to do.

Chokuro stood up from her chair, took a piece of paper, rolled the paper, and whacked Dark on the head with it. He jerked his head up and looked at Chokuro.

"Why do you never try nicely?" He asked rubbing the back of his head. "I always get hurt when you don't."

"Yes, well," She returned to her seat. "You should learn to get up easily. But, anyway, this is Meenay Nami or Meena."

Dark looked at her and smiled. "Hi."

"Hello." Meena said returning the smile with a slight blush on her cheeks. There were a few moments of silence between the three until Meena talked again. "I have kind of a personal question for you two…"

Both teens raised an eyebrow. "Okay?" Chokuro said cautiously.

"Are you two dating?"

Dark and Chokuro sighed. Chokuro opened her mouth to answer, but Dark got there first.

"Yes, we are." He put an arm around Chokuro's shoulders.

"Oh." Meena had a look of disappointment on her face. "Just wondered. Did you guys just move here or something else?"

"Oh, well…umm, kinda hard to explain…" Chokuro was searching for something to say. She really didn't know what to say. "Well, I was actually in 8th grade, but I am 16 and… yea, hard to explain…"

Meena looked lost and confused. "Okaay?"

"Hehehe, sorry. I could try to explain it better, but you might just get a headache…"

"Go with, 'no, it's fine.'" Dark said in a bored tone to Meena.

"HEY! Don't say that!" Chokuro said looking annoyed at Dark.

"What?" Dark retorted. "I figured I'd save her the hassle of having to listen to you ramble."

"Ugh. Whatever." Chokuro said folding her arms across her chest and turning away from him. Meena laughed at the two in front of her. Dark and Chokuro were not facing each other. They both had on frowns. She couldn't help but laugh at them. Chokuro and Dark noticed this and looked at her questioning.

"I'm sorry." Meena said with a tiny laugh after. "It's just, you two, you're so cute together." She laughed again. The two teens had the same look of 'uhh…' They looked at each other then turned away again.

"So," Chokuro started off, getting away from that topic making Dark and Meena look at her. "what's class like?"

"What you see now, that's what it's like."

"Oh."

"Yea, not the best but, it is our last year."

"Yea, you have a point."

"I, personally, like it." Dark said.

"Of course you would." Chokuro said glaring at him.

"What?"

"Ugh. Nothing."

Chokuro turned away from Dark and to Meena. When she turned, her hair whipped around her and Meena finally really noticed her hair.

"Wow, Chokuro…" Chokuro looked at her. "Your hair, it's gorgeous."

"Huh?" Chokuro looked confused until she remembered about her hair. "Aww man! I wanted to put my hair up. Ergh!" She turned to face Dark and flicked his arm.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"It's your fault you know. Without you stealing my hair tie and me getting used to leaving my hair down, I would have had my hair up."

He shrugged. "I told you that your hair looks better when it's down." He folded his arms across his chest and relaxed in his chair.

"Whatever. You're just lucky I like you."

Meena giggled. "You two are funny. I'm glad I came over to talk to you."

Dark and Chokuro didn't know what to say. They just smiled and gave a small 'Thanks?'

The bell rang for lunch break and the class ran out the door. All who were left in the room was Dark, Chokuro and Meena, even the teacher ran out of the room. Meena stood up from her seat.

"Do you guys want me to show you to the cafeteria?"

"No, I know where it is, besides, I think we're going to go see a friend of ours. But, thank you." Chokuro and Dark both stood up and all three headed for the door.

"O, okay. Well, I'll see you after lunch."

"Yup, later."

They exited the room and went opposite ways; Dark and Chokuro went left and Meena went right. They traveled down the hall to room 223. Chokuro and Dark peered inside the window. They searched the room and found Daisuke sitting by the window.

"Chokuro…"

"Yes?"

"Are we just going to barge in there? Cuz I wouldn't mind if we did…"

"Nope. Their lunch is in a few minutes."

Just as Chokuro said, a few minutes later, the bell for their lunch rang. Chokuro nudged Dark to knock on the door, and he did after grunting. The teacher motioned them to come in. Chokuro looked at Dark.

"Maybe it's not too much of a good idea for you to come with me."

"Why?"

"Risa."

"Oh…it'll be fine. Just keep close to me." Dark winked and gave Chokuro a smile. She rolled her eyes then went into the classroom.

"Oh, Chokuro." The teacher said when she came in. "Why are you here?"

"Eh, nothing really, I just wanted to see Daisuke."

"Oh, alright. Just don't be late for your class now."

"I won't be."

Chokuro walked over to Daisuke and Dark followed ignoring Risa's calls to him.

"Daisuke!"

He looked shocked as Dark and Chokuro sat in front of him.

"Why are you guys here?"

"We came to see how you were doing without me here." She smiled and Daisuke laughed.

"I'm fine. How about you? How's 12th grade?"

"Eh…it's interesting…" Daisuke gave her a confused look. "Don't know how else to describe it, other than that. But, you'll see when you get there."

"…"

"Daaark!" A high-pitched squeaky voice came from behind Chokuro, she knew her it was; Risa. Chokuro rolled her eyes and turned around to see Risa skipping towards them. "Hello Dark." Risa said once she reached the group.

"Hi." Dark said in a bored tone.

"Oh," Risa looked at Chokuro. "hello Chokuro." She attempted to be sweet, but everyone could tell that it was, indeed, forced.

"Hello Risa." Chokuro said trying to be cheery and not roll her eyes.

"So, why weren't you here earlier, Chokuro?" Risa tried to act pleasant.

"Because I am now in 12th grade."

"Oh, really? Why is that?"

Chokuro smirked to herself, she could make Risa feel even more jealous.

"Well, a lot of reasons, but mostly because Dark, is now in 12th grade, and I didn't want him to be alone."

"Oh" Her right eye twitched slightly. "How nice of you. Well, I have to be going. Bye Chokuro."

"Tootleloo." She said with a wave of her fingers.

Risa turned to Dark. "Good bye, Dark."

"Bye."

Risa left and returned to her seat.

"Well," Chokuro started off. "we should be going." She stood up as did Dark.

"Okay," Daisuke said tilting his head up to look at the two. "See you later."

"Yup, bye."

"Bye."

Dark and Chokuro left the room and into the hallway.

"Well, that was…" Dark started. "…interesting."

Chokuro shrugged.

"She really hates you doesn't she?"

"Probably. But, I really could not care less."

"Really now?"

"Yes, why?"

He shrugged. "Nothing. It's just that, we could really make her jealous if you wanted."

She arched an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

He just shrugged. "Well, I was thinking. That, we could do the whole lovey dovey couple thing…"

"What do you mean by 'lovey dovey couple thing'?"

"Just that, when we leave to walk home today, you know Risa will be there."

"Are you going to tell me, or not?"

"Nope."

"Why exactly?"

"Because. You'll just have to wait and see."

"Keeping in mind, anything too drastic will get you severely injured."

"I know." He said as they reached their room and opened the door for Chokuro. "Trust me."

"Fine."
