Dark snapped his head around, the sound of the police banging their way up the steps reaching both their ears.
" Well, if your gonna' take a picture, you best do it now." Dark said, releasing Daisuke from his death grip of an embrace. Daisuke stared for a moment before reaching into his back pocket to grab his camera…only to find that it wasn't there. Dark chuckled at the red head, who was franticly searching his pockets for his camera. " Looking for this?" Dark asked, raising an eyebrow at him, but not stopping himself from smirking. In his hand he held Daisuke's digital, no blur camera. Daisuke immediately went scarlet in the face at the idea of Dark sticking his hand into his back pocket. Dark grinned at him, his eye's glinting wickedly. " I guess your gonna' have to chase me for it."
Not two seconds later, Dark was on the next rooftop, running swiftly away from Daisuke, who took off after him. He jumped from rooftop too rooftop, trying his best not to slip on the slanted, metal roof tiles. Dark jumped onto the side of the clock tower and began climbing towards it's roof. At this point, the crowd below seemed to notice what was happening. They started screaming and pointing at Daisuke and Dark. Daisuke was quite happy he was so high up; no one would recognize him.
Daisuke was almost to the top, right behind Dark, but just before he reached the top ledge, he let out a surprised yelp as his hand slipped on the marble molding that ringed the clock tower, and toppled backwards. Dark must of heard him because he whipped around, staring Daisuke with a panicked look. He let go of the ledge he had been hanging onto and kicked off the tower, propelling himself faster towards Daisuke. The crowd below screamed, Emiko and To-To screaming at the top of their lungs for someone to save him.
As they fell Dark came close enough to Daisuke to grab a hold of him and swing himself around so his back faced the screaming crowd below.
" WIZ!"- he heard Dark yell. Daisuke jerked forward, though not daring to open his eye's to see why. He was much too convinced that he was now dead, having been splattered all over the pavement in the center of the crowd below. He was just imagining his funeral, a hysterical Emiko included, when Dark whispered to him.
" You can open your eye's now."
He cracked open an eye, and gasped. He was flying! He pulled his head up to survey his surroundings. Rooftops, cars, streets and shops sped by below him. He turned his attention to the front of him in an attempt to see where he was going, noting that his home was only about a mile from his where he was. Daisuke failed to notice the ever growing smirk on Dark's face. 'He's so cute…' Dark thought, leaning in to nuzzle into to Daisuke's hair. Daisuke jumped at the contact, wondering how in the hell he missed the fact that he was in the arms of a pervert hundreds of feet in the air. He felt his face heat up, again, making it increasingly difficult to look at Dark. The silence that followed was uncomfortable, only to have it broken by the statiky crackling of the walkie-talkie clipped to Daisuke's jeans.
" Daisuke? Daisuke? Can you hear me? Daisuke?" To-To frantically called, the sound of the crowd deafening. Dark looked curiously at him.
" I-I'm okay To-To. I think I'm heading home….?" Daisuke looked at Dark for a second who nodded. " Yeah, I'll see you at home later, I guess."
" Oh, Dai, I'm so glad your okay! You should have never taken that dare! When I get my hands on that Sahara boy, I will-"
" To-To! It's okay. I'm fine. Dark is taking me home" 'I think' " and I'll see you when I get there. Goodbye." He turned off the little device, re-clipping it to his jeans. He just wanted to go home and go to sleep.
" So, which way's your house?" Dark asked. Daisuke felt a feeling of embarrassment and stupidity well up inside him. Of course Dark couldn't take him home, he didn't know where he lived! They were above his neighbor hood when he looked. He pointed to his home, cling to tighter to dark when he swooped lower to land in his open bedroom window. ' I don't remember opening that…'
Daisuke let go of Dark and jumped down, missing the pout Dark had at the loss of the cute red-head.
" Thank you, for saving me and taking me home." Daisuke said, wondering if his face would permanently painted red. Dark gave him a charming smile.
" Hopefully you'll be able to repay me someday." Daisuke completely missed the suggestion in his voice, wondering how in the world you repay a thief. " I'll see you around, Daisukeee." Dark said, purposefully drawing out the end as he grabbed onto the roof and pulled himself up and out of site.
Daisuke heaved a sigh of relief, flopping himself onto the floor under his window. He kicked off his shoes, but yelped loudly when something heavy was dropped onto his head and landing on the floor in front of him. He clutched his now aching head, cursing under his breath. His camera sat in front of him, it's miniature screen glowing with a picture. He reached over and looked at it curiously, only to feel his jaw go slack. On the screen was a posing dark with a flirtatious smirk planted on his face, black wings sprouting from his back. All he could do was stare.
----------------------------------------------------
When he woke up the next morning, he was immediately greeted by a ecstatic Emiko, happily praising him for keeping up with Dark and be-rating him for causing her to faint from his near death experience. His grandfather refused to look at Daisuke with anything other than pride, patting him on the back a good fifty times before he managed to get out the door, where his friends had been waiting for him, demanding to see proof that he followed Dark. He told them the best thing he could think of.
" My mom grounded me last minute."
" WHAT!" his friends yelled in unison.
" How can she do that?" Takeshi said, going into his own private rant and turning the air around him blue with obscenities.
" I almost had a picture of Dark!" Risa wailed pitifully, sinking to her knee's. Daisuke sighed in relief, but stopped when he saw Riku's reaction. She was staring at him with disbelief.
" I thought you said your mom was all for this dare?" she asked suspiciously, " And, come to think of it, their was that mysterious guy that fell off the tower…" Takeshi and Risa stopped their miserable wailings to stare at Daisuke, silently questioning him. He felt himself go red.
" Ummm…..Oh, crap, we gotta' go! School bell is gonna ring in 9 minutes!" he darted past his friends, purposefully cutting through yards, so they wouldn't catch up to him.
" He's acting strange…."
" Really, Risa? Oh, I would have never guessed!" Takeshi said sarcastically, hooking his hands behind his head. Riku nodded in agreement.
" You'd think he'd be a bit more tactful. It's a freaking Saturday!"

A/N: I know you hate me. I really do. I hate myself, too. I thank all those that threatened me, and all those that were nice. I love you all and will always love you! I'm sorry to be alive and I knew I shouldn't have posted this until I finished. Any way, the wait for the next chapter will be cut in half, I guarantee it!
Aaron: Apologies only buy you time until you fuck up again.
