Naomi yawned and reached a hand out in front of her to grab her locker handle but missed, "I'm so tired…This is all your fault Riku…" It took her eleven tries to open her looker but she finally got it. She grabbed her books and started to walk to class.

Just as she slowly walked into the class room some one from behind ran into her and she fell forward to the sound of the bell. "What the heck?" She turned to see Takeshi panting with his hands resting on his knees.

"Explain yourself Takeshi!" She said angrily after standing up and brushing off her skirt.

"I was ganna be late!"

"Why would you be late?"

"Diasuke collapsed."

Naomi's mouth fell open, "WHAT? I am missing every little thing. There must be something wrong with me…Hey, why did Dai collapse?"

The teacher appeared behind Naomi, "Miss Takahashi! Class time is not time to talk. Take your seat!"

Naomi glared at the back of the Teachers head after she turned around.

"Riku whats up?" Naomi shouted to her friend while walking over to her during lunch. "Wow. You look like crap… What happened?"

Riku looked up dazed, "Aha…Naomi? Did you say something?"

"What do you mean, 'Did you say something'? Yes, I said somethin'!" She said flustered.

"Sorry, Naomi, I'm just a little out of it…"

"So! Tell me what happened!"

Riku started eating again, "About what?"

"Do you not remember calling me last night like at 3 AM! I lost a lot of sleep 'cause of you!"

"Oh, that. Yeah, I told you every thing…"

Naomi tilted her head with confusion, "Whats wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Liar."

Riku sighed, "Diasuke got sick this morning."

"Yeah, I heard." Naomi said.

"Well I faked sick to see him…"

"You faked sick! This is good! I never thought my little Riku would do something so…out there daring."

"Naomi, it isn't funny!"

"Yeah. Yeah. What ever." Naomi started biting at some bread on her plate.

"He was asleep and I said I…I loved him…"

Naomi's mouth fell open and she dropped the bread she was holding, "No way…"

Riku started to blush.

"Way to go, Riku! So then what happened. Come on! Tell me more!"

Riku's face started turning really red, "He was awake. He heard me…I ran."

Naomi sighed, "You two just need to get together!"

"Naomi stop. He loved Risa…"

"Riku… Dai's just a little blind. I know he likes you…I wouldn't worry. So is that all that happened?"

"He caught me and asked me to walk home with him…and the these weird guys came and took him away."

"See he does like you! Weird guys? Wait…What weird guys?"

"I don't know! They just took him away! I thought he had been kidnapped but…teacher said his mom called so…I don't know…"

"Hey Risa! Where's Riku?" Naomi asked walking up to Risa on the street. She was worried about Riku. She wanted this whole thing to work out but… The day before she had talk to Riku about Daisuke and she could tell Riku was really in love. The starng thing was Daisuke had gone missing. So she called Emiko that night and she said Dai was fine so Naomi had no reason to doubt her.

Risa and Naomi now started walking to school surrounded by a bunch of talking girls. " Did you see the news?" "They said Dark's going to appear again!" "It'll be on T.V. , don't you think? We have to watch! I want to she him myself!" "I want to get a photo of him! Wouldn't that be cool?"

Risa's friend, Ritsuko ran up to them, "Risa! Darks goin g to steal tonight! Are you going to watch?"

Risa smiled, "Well, duh."

Naomi started to walk again leaving them behind to their "Dark Talk". But before she got two steps, Ritsuko asked happily, "Naomi! What about? What do you think of Dark?"

Naomi turned, "Well…he's…aha…"

"Naomi…"

Naomi turned to see who said her name. Satoshi was standing there. "May I speak to you for a moment?"

Confused, Naomi said, "Sure." All the girls around her started saying things like, "What? Her?" "Is he going to ask Naomi out?" "But I'm cuter than her!" "No way is this happening?"

They started walking together. Naomi asked, "Satoshi? What do you need? I mean every ones like staring…and…" Satoshi sighed. Naomi asked sternly, "If you don't need any thing, I'm out of here. Every ones staring and I don't want them to get the wrong idea." She started to turn and walk away but Satoshi grabbed her arm. "What do you want Satoshi?" She asked angrily.

Satoshi stayed silent but glanced out of the corner of his eye. Naomi started turning away again but again he grabbed her arm. "Look, Naomi, I've searched the whole school and it turns out she have to most feminine appearance. I'd like you to help me with a research project."

Naomi tilted her head, "Feminine Appearance"…

"By the way did you know the public is required to help in criminal investigations?"

Naomi's mouth fell open, "Huh? Satoshi, what are you talking about?"

"I need you're help…" He said flustered. He put his hand through his hair.

Naomi looked past Satoshi at two girls who were speaking loudly, "He's so hot!" "Stop staring!" Naomi glanced around, Wow…He sure does get a lot of attention…

Naomi turned back to Satoshi, I guess he's kinda cute…NO! Don't think that! Don't think that! I never thought Satoshi was cute…He's just some jerk…But with out glasses…he could be hot…

"Satoshi?"

"Yes."

"Could you take off you're glasses?"

"Why?"

"Just do it! Do you want my help or not?"

Satoshi sighed, "Fine." As he was taking them off something happened. He felt sick.

"Satoshi! Are you ok?"

He turned his head to look at Naomi and his body started to hurt even more.

"Satoshi?" Naomi asked concerned. He was panting now but he stood up like nothing happened. Naomi reached down and grabbed his glasses, "Here Satoshi. I don't think they're broken…" She handed him his glasses.

He put them back on his face, "So will you help me?…"

A little shocked, Naomi said, "Aha…Yeah."

He turned, "I have things I have to do…I'll be at you're house at six tonight." And he walked away.

Naomi clenched her teeth, "He didn't say he was coming over to my house! And he didn't even tell me what he wants me to do." She stomped off toward school.
