Shocking discoveries

"Satoshi, where were you yesterday?" asked Daisuke when Satoshi returned.

"Seto Kaiba challenged me to a game of chess; I won, so then he wanted to see how good I was at hacking."

"Bet you shocked him, didn't you…" grinned Daisuke.

"I told him how good you were at hacking, and he said that he'd have to try you sometime…" said Satoshi with a grin.

"Mind if I borrow your laptop? I need to look up something for my English essay," asked Daisuke.

"Nice try; what do you really want to look up?" asked Satoshi, who knew as well as Daisuke that they hadn't been assigned any homework yet.

"I want to see if I can find anything about Hikari artwork or if any of our friends are even here," replied Daisuke.

Satoshi brought his laptop out once again and turned it on. He set it down on the desk and plugged the Ethernet cable into the jack on the laptop. When the internet came up, he handed it to Daisuke who sat down and went to a search engine.

Satoshi went to buy groceries as Daisuke searched for anything that might help them return home. When he returned, Daisuke was staring at something with wide eyes on the screen.

"What's wrong Daisuke? If you keep staring at that you'll be the one needing glasses, not me!"

"Satoshi, I think you better come look at this…" said Daisuke in disbelief. Satoshi puts the groceries down and looks at the screen. His eyes widen as he reads what Daisuke had found.

"I went to a site called Wikipedia and found this…" said Daisuke.

The screen read:

Daisuke Niwa is a 14 year-old-boy who has a special DNA due to his genes. Whenever he sees or thinks of his crush, Risa Harada, he turns into Dark. Dark was created by "The Black Mirror," a very large mirror, along with Krad. Krad is the complete opposite of Dark, and is from the Hikari family like Dark is to the Niwa family.

Later on, after being rejected by Risa, Daisuke falls in love with Riku. Riku likes him too, but until Daisuke is able to tell Riku about his condition and she can love both of them, he'll keep transforming. Unfortunately Riku, who had her first kiss stolen by Dark, now thinks of him as a "pervert" and hates Dark. She likes Daisuke, but hates Dark.

Interestingly enough, Risa falls in love with Dark, and proceeds to do all sort of absurd things to get him to go out with her, which he eventually does. She has also kissed him on more than one occasion, and it is hinted that Dark loves Risa; but Dark claims that he does not love her, and that (according to the anime) Risa's grandmother, Rika, is the only woman he has ever loved. In the manga, Dark's reasons for rejecting Risa seem to be so that she is not hurt by the fact that he is immortal and not really human, and therefore cannot participate in a functional relationship. As expected, Risa doesn't really listen to him and continues to try to get him to go out with her.

"What…what the hell is this?!" said Satoshi. Daisuke scrolled down and Satoshi's eyes kept becoming wider and wider as he read.

"That's EXACTLY what I'd love to know! According to this, we're fictional characters out of a manga!" said Daisuke.

"We have to find out what the hell is going on," said Satoshi as he saved the page to favorites and turned off the laptop.

"Let's find out after we eat!" said Daisuke firmly.

They ate dinner and as both were tired from the shocks they had received earlier, they both fell asleep almost immediately after they laid down on the bed.
