It was eight in the morning.
"Kuri! Get up!" my mom said. "Daisuke Niwa is at the door."
I sat up. "What?"
I got out of bed, pulled a robe on and went to the living room where Daisuke was sitting on the couch.
"Miss Kuri," Daisuke said. "I got your note."
I nodded. "So, what's your choice then?"
"Why would you even think that I would want…" he began, then paused, and continued. "That I would want to erase you from my life? Miss Kuri…I'm happy I met you!"
I felt slightly shocked. I sat down next to him. "Then…will you help me find a spell to reseal Krad and Dark in the Black Wings?"
"Dark…wouldn't want that," replied Daisuke. "We need to find a way to seal Krad by himself."
Maia suddenly entered.
"Maia," I said, getting up. "Here."
I handed her the paper I had researched for last night.
"I…found them," I said softly.
"You didn't have to," she replied, but she pulled out her cell phone and left the room.
"Who did you find, Miss Kuri?" Daisuke asked.
"Her…parents," I replied. "I just searched for them. It was easy."
"I thought you were sisters?" he asked.
"We lied because…we didn't know if we could trust you yet," I replied. "Anyway, I just had to look for them. It didn't seem fair…"
"Are you…good with computers?" Daisuke asked, looking curious. "Hiwatari's good with computers."
"Hiwatari? You mean, Satoshi Hiwatari," I said. "Oh no, I'm not near as smart as him. I'm a writer."
"Really? That's so cool!" Daisuke said.
I blushed. "Oh no, not really."
"No, really! Can I read something of yours?" he said. "I…I mean…um…"
I laughed. "Sure. Just let me find something good enough."
