This chapter took a while…but now it's here! Yay! Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I'm terribly sorry, I'm way 2 tired 2 type any more. I had this chapter for a while. I think it's really cheesy, some parts of it.

I stared at the note and the black feather next to me. What are they doing ther? Oh wait..Dark. So it wasn't a dream.

Thanks for everything. I left a keepsake. Enjoy

Dark.

The feather will make a very good bookmark. Me and my randomness.

A feather fell out as I opened the book. It landed on the floor. Before I had a chance to pick it up, a hand grasped it. Hiwatari kun looked up at me.

"Yours?" he asked.

Oh crap. "Thanks," I answered taking it. Hiwatari-kun is the commander in capturing Dark. What if he forces me to help him capture him.

I walked silently home. It's 4:30. I stayed after school to help clean up. When I opened the gate, there were about all the girls from my school there. What the-

"Oh my god!"

"What is he doing there?"

"Hiwatari kun is in Nataka san's house!"

Hiwatari is in m-my hous-se?

"Security!" I yelled over the commotion. Two guards walked out and started ordering the girls out.

Rya, a girl from my class, came over to me with three others following.

"If you lay one finger on my Satoshi," she screamed. "I'll slit that airhead of yours of you." What horrible grammar. The other girls slid a finger over their neck to show Rya's point. They stormed away.

I rolled my eyes. "Thank you," I called to the guards. They saluted me before walking towards the guard house.

I opened the door. Hiwatari kun sat in a sofa. Saki sat next to him asking questions eagerly. SHe turned around and walked towards me.

"I seen lots of guys my time," she whispered. "But this one's definitely a 10. No, correction. He's past a million! I think you should go for it despite what your parents say."

"Hiwatari kun?" I said softly disgusted. "Hell no. I'm not dating a guy who beat me, me, at pool."

"Well it looks like he's go the brains and the guy to beat you. Give is a shot. They other guy is Dark, but I doubt we'll ever meet him. I'm going out. Be back at 7. Yumi's in the kitchen cleaning."

"Yeah.." I walked past her. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"You know Dark," he stated bluntly. "It seems pretty well. You can help me capture him."

"No."

"It's against the-" He fell down on his knees and clutched his chest. "Get out...I...can...handle...this..."

"Hiwatari kun? Are you all right?"

"Go...back...Nataka san..."

His hair turned slowly blonde and it started to grow. Hiwatari kun's clothes started to change and when he looked up, his eyes were the color of chartreuse. Two white wings grew from behind him. It's Krad!

"We meet again," he said.

"Hiwatari kun?" I stammared.

"Satoshi sama's not in right now." Krad walked over and pinned my hands against the wall. "He touched you didn't he."

"Let go of me!" I struggled against his hold. "I'll call security."

He kissed me. It happened way too fast. I couldn't really describe the kiss. It was possessive and desire. Then I realized, this is my first kiss. Ever.

He pulled back. But is wasn't Krad I saw, it was Hiwatari kun. He looked shocked too.

"I'm..." he started. "Sorry."

I just stared blankly at him. What the hell just happened? Krad...Satoshi...my very first kiss? Who was it with? Satoshi or Krad? Gah I'm so confused. (A/N: Confuzzled! ahem...sry.)

"I'm am so confused...You're Krad? Then that means Dark...he's has to have an...alter ego or something right? But that would mean...he...you...ugh!"

"It's simple. I turn into Krad. Dark has a tamer but he'll tell you who it is soon enough but this is not good. I'll have to erase your memories."

"My memories?"

"Of what happened nothing else I promise."

"If...it's best?" I shrugged.

Hiwatari kun nodded. He took out a white feather. "It's painless...don't worry."

"I'm home!" Saki said.

I looked up from my homework. "Hey Saki!"

"So..." she gave me a sly look. "What about that blue haired cute boy? What did he ask you?"

"Oh...something about our homework...I forgot."

Saki giggled as she walked into the kitchen with a bags of stuff.

"Why do I feel like that vermin's been here?" Dark asked. He showed up again on my balcony.

"Vermin? No one's been here but me, Saki, and Yumi," I said puzzled.

"Funny...I thought I sensed him...Oh well..."

"Why are you here again?"

"...To ask you something."

"What?"

"On Christmas which is in a week, will you meet me by the big tree?"

I felt my heart beat faster. "Like on a date?"

"Yep."

"Sure...I guess."

Dark came over and tilted my chin to face him. "You don't seem too enthusiastic about it."

"I..." Dark slid his hand to my neck carressing it gently. "I just feel a bit down that's all. I'm excited about it; no girl in her common sense wouldn't."

Dark pulled me into an embrace. "Thanks."

"No! I refuse to!" I argued.

"You have to Nataka san," Saehara begged.

"No! Who says I can act?"

"But you're the spitting image of Freedert! And Daisuke broke his arm!"

"No! I have other plans on Christmas Eve also!"

"It's two days before Christmas."

"Let me play Freedert!" Rya whined to Saehara.

"How about this," Saehara said. "The class will decide who will play Freedert. We'll have a competition against you two."

What! He knows I hate Rya and now he's using that against me. But I am not losing to the stupid whore. She only wants the part because of Hiwatari cun.

"Fine! I'll take on your stupid challenge."

"Great! Here are your scripts. Rya, you first."

Rya walked up in front of the class.

"'This world is big enough for both of us Dark. Our love cannot be broken because of our families. Doesn't it matter what we think? What we do? Whom we love? We will not be torn apart my sweet Dark.'"

I got to admit. Rya had the talent but I'm better. Gah, I sound so snobby.

"Miro, go up," Saehara ordered.

"Don't order me around," I snapped. "And it's Nataka san to you."

He rolled his eyes, "Okay Nataka san. Recite the first paragraph of Act 1 Scene 1."

"'Dark nights frighten me so! Why was I cursed with such fear of horrible darkness? Is there no one to save me? No one to take me away from this black creepy night?'"

"'There is me,'" someone recited. Hiwatari kun walked up.

"'Who are you?'"

"'I'm Phantom Thief Dark. And you are?'" He held out his hand.

"'I'm F-Freedert.'"

"'No need to be afraid my lady.'" He grapsed my hand and pulled me towards him into a hug. Our chest was uncomfortably close. "'I'll save you.'"

"Perfect!" Saehara exclaimed. "You two were made to be Freedert and Dark."

"But what about me!" Rya histericalized (lol.) "I am so much better than her."

"She goes well with Hiwatari. You can't blame them. Now, on with the rehearsal!"

"Act 4 Scene 3!" Saehara called. "Dark and Freedert's love scene."

"'Don't go Dark!'" I pleaded.

"'You don't want me here,'" Hiwatari kun said. "'You hate me right?'"

"'I...I love you Dark.'" I made my eyes well up with tears.

Hiwatari kun slid one arm around my waist and the toher on my chin. He brought his face close enough to seem like we're kissing. Then he pulled back.

"'I love you too.'"

"Cut!" Saehara yelled. "Not enough emotion Nataka san. Hiwatari, move in closer. The kiss seemed fake."

"Give us a damn break!" I lost it. "You pull us here on a weekened, make us wear these riduculous draft costumes, and then tell us that we're not good enough and make us do a scene over and over and over! That is as emotional as I'll get and that is as close a kiss you're stupid play is going to get! GOT IT!"

I realized my hands were on a desk leaning towards Saehara. He looked scared and weak.

"B-but i-if you a-actually k-kiss," he stuttered meekly. "I-it'll be b-better."

I moved back and crossed my arms. "No."

"But it looks fake."

"No!"

"All right all right! Playback."

That bastard learned nothing.

Night of the play...

I fixed my wig and looked down at my dress. Dammit, the zippers of my dress won't zip. Someone knocked on the door.

"Just. A. Minute." I fell over. "Ugh!"

"Nataka san?" Hiwatair kun said.

"My zipper's not zipping." I stood up and started trying to work my zipper. "I swear I gained 10 pounds this month." Two cold hands touched my back.

"It's not your weight." I let go. "The zipper is stuck. Stand still."

"Hiwatari kun!" someone sang. We turned to see Saehara. Hiwatari kun finally zipped up my dress. "You naughty boy, trying to strip that innocent girl. What will we do about you?"

"Get out Saehara," I fumed.

"All right...carry on. 15 minutes till showtime." He left smirking.

My face turned hot. I walked past Hiwatari kun. "Thanks," I muttered. "Break a leg." I sounded so pathetic.
