A Change of Sorts
OK, third chapter is up and contains what you've all been waiting for (drum roll please. No? Well trumpets then.) tan-tan-tarrrraaaaaaaaa! Daisuke moves into the empty estate next to Shigure's one! Enjoy, and review review review!
Chapter 3: Welcome Party!
"Oh my god, my Daisuke is growing up! Be safe ok?" Emiko squealed as she swept Daisuke into a loving hug. Daisuke nodded mutely, ignoring Dark at the back of his mind.
--She's faking it just because everyone else is there.-- Dark stated dryly.
Riku was nearly crying, but she put up a brave face and hugged Daisuke as well.
"Be safe Niwa-kun. I love you." She whispered.
Daisuke turned bright red but he hugged her back. "I love you too Riku-san."
"Yeah! Go Daisuke!" cheered Takeshi, who was also there. Risa nudged him, knowing all too well that Daisuke could change any minute now.
Risa went up to hug Daisuke too, and she felt tears prickling at her eyes.
"Be safe Niwa-kun. For Riku's sake." She whispered softly. Daisuke nodded, and replied back. "Dark tells you guys not to find another boyfriend or else." He smiled slightly at this.
Risa did too, and she whispered to Dark. "Don't worry, I won't. And I'll make sure Riku won't either."
Dark grinned mentally, and Risa thought she could feel another pair of invisible arms hug her too. She broke away and smiled, just as Takeshi came and tackled Daisuke.
"TAKESHI!" Daisuke yelled, pushing Takeshi off as he struggled to sit up. Takeshi grinned, "Come on Daisuke! This is the last time you can yell at me for a whole year! Enjoy it!"
Daisuke pushed him off and glared at him, but Takeshi only smirked. "Looks like I'll be getting all the scoops on Dark then. Too bad I can't get you anymore pictures." He whispered the last part, causing Daisuke's face to flush.
"Oh well, I better get another person to copy off. Hey, Risa…"
"Get away from me you." She scowled playfully and pushed him away.
Kosuke and Daiki took Daisuke away from the others for awhile as they had a 'man-to-man-to-Daisuke' talk.
"Remember, don't let anyone find out." ordered Daiki.
"Stay safe and make some good friends. We've told With to bring us an update every month. Your okaa-san wanted it to be every day, but we told her With would get tired." Kosuke told him on the brighter side. "Remember what you have to do."
-…they don't exactly trust me do they?-
--Well you are somewhat of a klutz.--
"Ok." Daisuke nodded as they headed back to the group. The bus came, and Daisuke boarded it, waving a last goodbye.
"BYE!" everyone called, Riku already sobbing and Risa patting her back. "Come back soon!" Riku cried out, and Daisuke nodded.
As the bus left, Takeshi grinned and said one thing that would make Daisuke remember him, definitely.
"I got your mobile number off your mom!"
Daisuke gasped and opened the window quickly, sticking his head out.
"TAKESHI!"
Takeshi's grin grew broader as he waved back. "A nice memorial, don't you think?" he told the others cheekily. Emiko was too busy beaming proudly, Daiki nodding his head in a 'yes, yes he's growing up now' way, Kosuke rubbing the back of his head in regret, and the twins comforting each other, to notice him.
"Oh well." He shrugged and left, leaving the group behind.
Daisuke leaned onto the window. He couldn't believe he was really doing this.
--More like you had to do it--
-Yeah…-
--There better be some pretty girls in this…what's it called again?--
-Can't remember.-
--Well, there better be some for me to flirt with.--
-Two-timer. How about what you said to Harada-san?-
--That was manly talk-- Dark grinned. --Unlike you.--
-Yeah well, I'll keep my unmanly promise while you'll break your manly one in 5 minutes.-
Dark shrugged and decided to go to sleep, leaving Daisuke with his own thoughts.
He sighed and looked outside. A whole year until he came back…tears welled up in his eyes and he quickly wiped them off. Riku wouldn't want him to cry…
The bus stopped and a few people got on. One of them, a black and white spiky-haired young man (guess who? XD) who looked like a punk, sat on the seat next to him.
Being the polite sort, even though he was slightly scared, Daisuke stuck out his hand and smiled.
"Hi! My name is Daisuke Niwa. A pleasure to meet you."
The teen shook his hand and smiled back slightly, although his mind seemed elsewhere.
"Hi. My name is Hatsuharu Sohma. Just call me Haru. Nice to meet you too…" Haru looked around blankly. "Where does this bus go anyway?"
Daisuke gaped, before regaining his composure. "Uh, it depends where you're going."
Haru told him (remember, I still don't know what the town is called.) and Daisuke beamed.
"That's where I'm going too! Well, this bus stops there, so I'll tell you when we get there."
Haru nodded his thanks and went to sleep, leaving a surprised Daisuke.
-Right…so he doesn't know where this bus goes and he boarded it?-
--Zzzzzz…--
-Oh, right.-
Daisuke smiled as he too dozed for a bit as the bus rumbled along to its eventual destination…the town.
"Come on come on! Momiji heard that they are coming in 10 minutes!" Momiji exclaimed, bouncing around Shigure's house…yet again.
"Where do you hear these things from?" Kyo groaned, watching as Tohru bustled about getting a 'Welcome' basket for the newcomers.
Momiji simply grinned and stuck his tongue out and Kyo groaned again.
"You know, you've got some nerve coming here and making Tohru work her neck off like that."
Tohru turned around and smiled at him. "Don't worry Kyo-kun! I don't mind! I used to do this all the time when new neighbours came!"
Yuki, who was acting as the basket holder for the moment, glared at Kyo. "Stupid cat, if you worry that much then get over here and help."
Kyo merely growled and stomped over to the stairs, presumably to the roof.
Tohru stared after him, before going to panic stage 5. "Oh my god! Did I make Kyo-kun upset? Oh no oh no…" she fretted, nearly dropping the food she was holding.
Yuki sighed and looked over to her. "Don't worry; he's just grumpy because Momiji's here. He can't stand the hyper activeness. You can go up and talk to him if you want. I don't mind."
Tohru looked from the basket, to the stairs, and back the basket. She shook her head sadly as Momiji bounced by with another warning of 5 minutes left.
"I'll go up when the basket is finished." She said hesitantly. Yuki nodded and smiled, gesturing for her to put the food in its place. She smiled back and put them in, before hurrying to get some more goodies.
Yuki took a peek inside the basket, and then he smiled. The newcomers were going to be really happy when they came.
"End of the line! All off the bus!" boomed a loud voice. Daisuke jumped up, and looked around. He sighed in relief. Lucky that his destination was the end of the line.
He gently shook Haru until he too woke up. "We're there!" he told the sleepy boy.
They got off the bus, and Haru wondered off, muttering his thanks. Daisuke stood there with his luggage, which wasn't too much considering he was going to live there for a year, yet it was still impossible to carry it all the way.
"OK now…" he muttered, taking out the map Emiko gave him. "Let's see…how to get all my stuff there…"
His questions were answered as a small moving truck pulled up, and a tanned man came out, looking at his list and staring around. His gaze fell on Daisuke, who was still standing there cluelessly, and he marched over.
"You Daisuke Niwa?" he asked with an Australian accent. When Daisuke nodded, he scratched his head for a moment, looking him over.
"Mighty short for a 16 year old. Ah well, better then my friend." He told him conversationally. "He's 24, same as me, and he's only this short, that's my wee little mate!" he gestured around about 5 centimetres higher up than Daisuke's highest standing spike. Daisuke blushed; two years and he had only grown a bit.
As they walked towards the truck with Daisuke's luggage, the man told him his name was Jim, and talked about how he and his mate Tommy (classic, isn't it?) came to Japan. Daisuke told him about his own life, and Jim nodded, interested.
"Now," Jim said when the entire luggage had been lugged onto the truck. "Normally, my customers have to call their own cab or something. But I'll excuse you." He added when Daisuke's face fell.
"It's not everyday a 16 year old kid comes here on his own." He said as Daisuke got in the truck. "Dunno what the world's coming to." He muttered as he heaved himself in.
Jim drove him to his new temporary home, all the time talking about something or the other (Aussies like to chat a lot), until they got close to his home.
Daisuke marvelled at the scenery around him; Emiko was right. He did like the open areas. Jim saw him looking out the window and he grinned.
"Thought you might like that, mate. You seemed the type. Just like my 'lil buddy, he's an artist. Betcha you are too, ain't you?" When Daisuke nodded, he continued. "Well, you'll find plenty of things to paint here, Tommy painted them all! Oh, and you've got some neighbours." He gestured at the house that could just be spotted behind all the nature.
"They're a nice lot, them Sohma's. Don't really get out much, until that girl Tohru Honda came to live with them. They're about your age those ones. The missie is particularly kind, invites me in whenever I go deliver something to their place."
Daisuke nodded mutely. Sohma? Must be family with Hatsuharu then.
--Suppose so…--
Daisuke nearly jumped out of his seat. -DARK! Stop doing that!-
--Ok, ok. Hey, that Tohru sounds kinda cute…kinda like Risa.--
-Stay away from her.- Daisuke automatically thought. The truck pulled over then, stopping their conversation abruptly. They got off, and unloaded the entire luggage into the house.
Once finished, Daisuke fumbled around for his wallet, but Jim stopped him.
"Don't worry mate. Your ma already paid me! Plus, you remind me of Tommy! Heck, he's got flamin' red hair too, except your one's brighter! I'll bring him over sometime, eh?"
Daisuke nodded, grateful, and Jim gave him a little business card.
"Here, give me a hoy anytime you need something, or if you need help. Although that Sohma lot will probably be better." He laughed a bit. "They've been around longer than I have! Knowing them, they'll probably be around soon with a welcome party."
The redhead nodded again.
"Well, I best be going now mate. My wife will have my hide if I'm home too late!"
Daisuke laughed slightly, this Australian accent was really confusing him.
Jim left, and Daisuke turned around, sighing deeply. -Okaa-san's mean.-
--That's like the 16th time you've said that now.--
-But it's true…-
Daisuke took out one of the mirrors from his bags and put it on the table in the living room, where he sat down. This house was designed the traditional Japanese way (like Shigure's one) so there were no chairs at the table. This was going to take some getting used to…
He looked into the mirror, where Dark was smirking at him.
"Shut up Dark. You're in this too, like it or not."
"Why don't you explore first, then we'll unpack and talk about what to do." Dark replied, changing the topic. Daisuke grumbled, but it was still a rational idea.
It was a pretty small and cosy house, even though he didn't like the reason he was here. There was a small kitchen, a bathroom, a few bedrooms with already made beds (only one of them did not involve lying on the floor, and that one was upstairs), a laundry, the living room which was also used for meals apparently, and a toilet.
Daisuke wondered back into the living room and looked around. At least the house was already furnished. It looked like someone came here regularly to clean it. There was electricity, TV, a phone; running water…looked like Daiki was right when he said it provided him with everything he would need.
Suddenly, he heard a light rapping on the door, and he quickly went to answer it. He slid open the paper door, albeit a bit crookedly, and blinked at the sight outside.
"WELCOME!" cried three people in the front, a blonde boy, a slightly older-looking brunette girl and an adult man with neck length dark hair. Everyone else behind them either smiled a small welcome or looked off grouching.
"Uh…hi." He replied, slightly bewildered.
The girl in front stepped forward and bowed politely. "My name is Tohru Honda! I'm very pleased to meet and welcome your family here!"
The blonde bounced up and smiled. "I'm Momiji Sohma! This is Shigure Sohma!" he pointed to the adult, who waved childishly. "That's Kyo Sohma!" the grouchy orange-haired teen with red eyes. "And that's Yuki Sohma!" Silvery-purple haired teen with light violet eyes that was standing silently at the back. Purple like Dark, he thought vaguely, but Dark's ones are darker…
"Hi…my name is Daisuke Niwa. I'm staying here alone, my family's back in Azumano."
Silence. Then… "Oh! We're really sorry! We didn't know that!" cried Tohru, and Yuki and Kyo were instantly by her side.
"Don't worry, Honda-san. You didn't know."
"Yeah…what rat boy said."
Daisuke blinked. Rat boy? Strange nickname.
"I'm here because, uh…I wanted to try living here for a change of pace." He muttered, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly and looking away. He could feel purple eyes gazing at him suspiciously, but the boy remained silent.
Momiji hopped up to him and studied him. He finally nodded and smiled. "You were born in the year of the rabbit, weren't you? (this is just some fake guess by me)"
Taken aback, Daisuke nodded. "How did you know…?"
Momiji grinned. "I just do!"
Daisuke smiled back, and looked over at the crowd again. "Uh…come in?"
Tohru, who seemed to be the fretting type, instantly shook her head. "No! We wouldn't want to bother you! I mean, you just got here and all and you're all by yourself…"
Daisuke smiled sweetly. "It's no problem! Come in!"
So they did. Shigure gazed around the house and sighed contently. "Ahhhh, all clean. Just like home. At least, just like home since Tohru came!"
Tohru beamed. "Thankyou Shigure-san! I come here weekly with the cleaner to clean it!"
Shocked silence. "Y-y-you did it Honda-san?" Daisuke asked, shocked.
Tohru nodded happily. "Yup! It was fun getting to know Miyuki-chan!"
"Oh…" Daisuke lead them to the living room, where the mirror stood alone on the table. Tohru glanced at it, and then stared. Tears seemed to well up inside her eyes as she looked at it. Yuki noticed and came over to her.
"Honda-san, what's wrong?"
She sniffled, and wiped away her tears. "It's nothing…it's just the same type as the one my mom used to have. She always said that it brought out the other self of people, and that was how it was special. (more rubbish from me.)"
Daisuke shifted nervously.
-If only she knew how true that was…-
--Yeah…she's cute. Wonder why she's so sad?--
-Dunno.-
"Honda-san? If it bothers you, I'll put it away." He offered gently. Tohru shook her head and smiled.
"No! It's ok. Don't let me get in the way of your things."
Momiji bounded over to Daisuke's suitcases. "So you haven't unpacked yet Dai-kun?" he asked, immediately giving him a nickname. He knew Daisuke was the kind type, one that was not like Kyo.
Daisuke smiled at the nickname; just like what his okaa-san called him. "No…just the mirror."
Kyo gave him a strange look. "So you took out the mirror first, of all things?" When he nodded, Kyo snorted. "It's like you wanted to upset Tohru on purpose…"
Daisuke blushed and shook his head frantically. "NO! It's just that…it was the one my friend, Riku Harada-san gave me. I brought along because she gave it to me to remember her by…" Daisuke looked forlornly at the mirror. That last bit was correct, just that it wasn't the reason he brought it out, of course.
Shigure grinned, and slid over to Daisuke slyly. "Ahhhh, your girlfriend, Daisuke-kun?" Daisuke blushed and Shigure laughed. "Thought so!"
Desperate to change the subject, Daisuke looked through the cupboards and found some polished teacups, presumably by Tohru, and took some out, and looked for some tea. "Um…is tea alright?"
Before Tohru could protest, Yuki spoke up. "That'll be fine. Except there is no tea in this house." Daisuke blushed, embarrassed.
"And that's where we come in!" cheered Momiji happily. He held out the 'Welcome' basket to Daisuke, smiling. "We made this for you! There are heaps of things here!"
Daisuke's face grew red. "Ahhhh, you really didn't need to."
"But we did!" insisted Tohru. She placed the basket on the kitchen counter, so Daisuke had no choice but to reluctantly accept.
He rummaged through, and found the tea in a cute little bunny shaped box. Daisuke smiled; it was cute. He brewed the tea, and minutes later, they were all sipping some of the refreshing drink.
Daisuke put his cup down, and smiled gratefully. "Thankyou for coming with the basket. I really can't thankyou enough."
-At least otou-san won't have to worry.-
"No problem!" smiled Tohru cheerfully. "Just tell us if you need something and we'll be right over!"
Daisuke nodded; people here really were kind. "Um, just out of curiosity, is Hatsuharu Sohma related to you?"
He was greeted with blank stares. "Never mind…" he sighed.
"You mean you found him?" Shigure asked, surprised.
"Well, I saw him on the bus here, and he said he was getting off here too…"
"Oh no…" cried Tohru. She jumped up, and excused herself. "I'll go check to see if Haru is back at home!"
She rushed out, and Daisuke scratched his head, confused. Yuki then spoke up to explain things.
"Haru is our cousin, and he tends to get lost a lot."
"Oh…"
Yuki reminded him of Hiwatari-kun…silent most of the time, with a dark secret to hide. He blinked. Now why did he think that Yuki would have a dark secret?
"You're probably wondering this right now, so we'll explain some things to you." Said Shigure. "Tohru is not related to us in any way. We found her camping on our property because her mother and father had died; first her father, then her mother. She lived with her grandpa, but then he had to get the house renovated. She didn't want to burden anyone so she decided to live on her own until her grandfather's renovations were complete. We decided to let her live with us, and she is basically our housekeeper."
"You better not think that she can't be hurt shrimp." Kyo glowered at him. "Just because she's always smiling, doesn't mean she doesn't have something that she wants no-one else to know."
"I know how that feels…" Daisuke mumbled without thinking. When he noticed everyone staring at him, he blushed and quickly stood up.
"I'll get more tea!"
The Sohma's exchanged confused glances; strange kid…they all thought.
When he came back, Tohru was there again, with another person. "Haru?" Daisuke asked.
He raised a hand in greeting. "Hi. Daisuke right?"
"Yeah…that's me."
There was silence after this, until it was broken by a yelp from Momiji.
"Awwwwww! That's so cute!" Daisuke looked over to the blonde kid, who was kneeling down, peering at a white ball of fuzz. With noticed him, and immediately bounded over, 'kyuu'-ing indignantly.
"Ahhhh, With! That's where you went…" he spoke to the little bunny-creature. Momiji straightened up and went over to With, smiling happily.
"Is he a bunny?"
"Kinda…" Daisuke replied.
-Dark, what is he?-
--Uhhhh…my wings?--
Daisuke sat down again and placed With on the table. "This is my pet bunny-thing, With. He's favourite food is strawberries."
With looked at them all with wide crimson eyes. "Kyuu?" it asked hopefully.
"Not now With." Daisuke gently scolded. It whimpered and hopped back onto Daisuke's shoulder.
"Daisuke-kun, how old are you?" asked Shigure.
"I'm 16…"
"And what school are you going to?"
"I think it's called Kaiwaia High…"
Tohru and Momiji beamed. "That's the school we go to!" Tohru exclaimed happily. "And Yuki-kun, Kyo-kun and I are 16 too!"
"Oh…"
"You'll probably be wearing your old uniform until you get your new uniform…" Yuki put in.
"It won't look good on you." Kyo snorted. "You're too short."
Daisuke blushed; why did everyone have to tell him that?
"Dai-kun! This is cool! Where did you get this from?" an admiring question snapped Daisuke out of his thoughts. He looked over at Momiji, who was holding up one of Dark's thieving outfits, the one with white lining the tall-necked and a white stripe down the middle sleeveless top. "It looks a little big for you though…" Momiji said, holding it to himself.
In a flash, Daisuke was at Momiji's side, grabbed the outfit and shoved it back in his suitcase. He silently thanked his training for his speed. Hopefully, no-one got a good look at it yet. He had forgotten that Emiko had packed some outfits for Dark too.
"My mum is a seamstress." He half-lied. Well, she did make the thieving outfits. "I must have put it in on accident." Two sets of red and purple eyes looked at him suspiciously, but he ignored them. "I suppose I should get these upstairs…" he lugged the clothes bag over to the stairs, and proceeded to lump it up, step by step. Tohru and Momiji immediately jumped up to help, while the others just sat at the table.
Sneakily, Shigure opened the smallest bag, which contained all the little things Daisuke had brought along. He quickly found a picture, and pulled it out, not noticing the black feather that came with it. When Daisuke came back, Shigure feigned excitement and held it up.
"Daisuke-kun! Is this the Riku-san that you were talking about?" he sang out cheekily.
Daisuke froze in his tracks; it was indeed Riku's picture, and his heart was starting to pound.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom!" he lamely replied, and ran back up the stairs, clutching his heart. Tohru, who had just come past, stopped and stared.
"But Niwa-kun, the bathroom is down…stairs."
He ignored her and ran into his new bedroom. Tohru blinked and turned back to the others.
"Did Niwa-kun have purple streaks?" shakes heads. "Was Niwa-kun shorter than me?" Nods.
"Oh…" she said. "Must have been my imagination…"
She sat down with the others and waited for Daisuke to come back from his little, ah, bathroom trip. Momiji looked around nervously, and announced that he would go up to see if Daisuke was alright. No-one said anything so he headed up the stairs.
-Dark let me get back in control.-
--What? Like the other night? Why?--
-Because then they'll find out! - Daisuke pleaded desperately.
As if on cue, Momiji's small voice could be heard. "I'll go up and see if he's alright!"
"Well," Dark grinned. "They can't find what isn't there!" With that, he opened the window, and leapt up on the roof. He listened as Momiji checked every room, then leave the 2nd floor and back to the others.
"I'll call With." Dark mentally called the bunny, who, being the wings of his master, responded by jumping up the stairs and up a little ladder that led to the roof with a 'kyuu'.
"You little annoying bunny!" Kyo raged. With had, unfortunately, used Kyo's head as a stepping stone on the way. Kyo followed the white bunny up the ladder, and climbed out onto the roof. "Now where- what the?"
His eyes opened wide as he saw Dark on the roof, With 'kyuu'-ing happily on his shoulder.
"Who are you?"
Dark mocked surprise.
"You haven't heard of me? I'm the great Phantom Thief Dark! Recently I've been travelling a bit."
Kyo raised an eyebrow. "What's so great about you?" he sneered.
Dark put a hand to his heart in mock shock. "Why? Because I have never failed a thievery before. And this too of course." So Kyo didn't see it, Dark hid With as he became his wings.
He stood up, jet black wings spread out majestically. Kyo gasped, and Dark smirked.
"Yup, me. Kaitou Dark. Thief of art, thief of hearts."
He looked around. "If I were you, I'll stay silent about seeing me until I make my first appearance. Or else," he whipped out a black feather, which glowed threateningly. "You won't be very happy soon."
Kyo gulped; he didn't like the looks of that feather. He nodded quickly and headed downstairs and back to the table. The others gave him queer looks because of his silence, but he ignored them. He glanced over at Tohru, who was looking at him with worried eyes, then he looked away, slightly guilty. A black object caught his eye and he peered closer. A black feather next to Daisuke's bag? Before he could investigate though, Daisuke came back downstairs, smiling sheepishly.
"Sorry about that. I forgot the bathroom was downstairs and got lost."
Shigure chuckled. "You're worse than Haru!" and everyone laughed, except for Haru who frowned and Kyo, who scowled. While no-one was looking, With crept by and removed the black feather, replacing it with a black paintbrush.
Daisuke smiled as With handed the black feather back to him. He better be more careful with that in the future.
"So, that was Riku-san in the picture?" Shigure asked, indicating the framed photo. Daisuke nodded a yes before stashing his things back in the bag and taking it upstairs too. Everyone got up to help, except for Kyo who narrowed his eyes at the black paintbrush.
Yuki noticed this and scowled. Great, the stupid cat was jealous of art now.
When they had all finished, Daisuke thanked them all greatly.
"Thankyou for the basket, and thank you for your help too." He said.
"It was nothing." Shigure replied airily. "I think I better get back now before Mii-chan (is that her name?) gets worked up over my late deadlines again…I'm an author by the way." He added, noticing Daisuke's confused glance.
"Yes, we won't bother you anymore!" said Tohru. She bowed, and the others followed suit (well, they didn't bow but they did say goodbye.).
"Bye!" Daisuke waved. "And thanks again!"
Tohru waved back energetically, and called out. "Come whenever you need something!" and Momiji grinned. Yuki and Kyo still regarded him suspiciously, but Yuki waved, nevertheless. Kyo just grouched off and pulled Tohru with him.
Daisuke's smile faded, and he turned back to his empty house. He sighed.
-Just one year left…-
--Come on, it won't be that bad.--
-At least I can cook. It was nice of them to take the basket over.-
--Yeah. I can imagine if Risa was in your place…Tohru's cute. She's a lot like Risa, but more kind.--
Daisuke sighed again. Might as well make dinner…
"Wasn't Niwa-kun nice?" asked Tohru happily as she served dinner that night. Momiji and Haru had left already, and they were talking about Daisuke.
"Yes, I like him. Really nice kid." Shigure stated thoughtfully.
"He seemed nice enough…" said Yuki. "But he seems to be hiding something. Wonder why he would have a secret? He seems so cheerful too..."
"If he has something he doesn't want to tell us, then we shouldn't pry." Insisted Tohru, having many things like that of her own.
Kyo grumbled and didn't answer and Yuki nodded in agreement. Tohru smiled again. "I think he's really kind! I'll go and help him settle in again tomorrow!"
"I'll come with you Honda-san." Yuki immediately offered.
"Yeah…me too." Kyo said, still slightly disturbed by the day's events.
"Don't worry! I know you have a lot of things to do. I'll go by myself!" Tohru beamed. "It's very close after all."
"Well…if you're sure Honda-san…" Yuki began hesitantly.
"I'm sure!" Tohru nodded.
"Ok."
"Yeah…" Kyo grumbled.
That being settled, they began to eat dinner. Tohru smiled happily. Sometimes she just loved to be at home.
Oh my GOD that was long! It's the longest chapter I've written for any of my stories! Yay, Daisuke meets the Sohma's and Tohru! Did I make them seem out of character? And Kyo meets Dark…and being the arrogant type he is, Kyo doesn't make any connection between Daisuke and Dark! XD just for Daisuke's sake, that is.
Hope you liked my chapter! R&R and I'll update soon! There will be Tohru's visit, Daisuke's first day at school, and…Dark's first thievery in this town! Oh yeah, what's the name of this place again? XD please R&R!
