A/N: If anyone is still reading this, then sorry about my lateness, but I am lazy. Also I'm intending this to be the chapter in which Daisuke finds why he doesn't like Risa. I said it wasn't a DaiRisa fanfiction so this is proof. I'm trying to put it kind of like the actual anime/manga so next he seems to like Riku. This is a SatoDai story after all. Also I fixed Wiz's name I just need to upload it. Also changed to POVs again.

Rejection and Hints

Few weeks later

Daisuke's POV(lunch time)

"Niwa-kun, I can't accept this."

"W-what? Why not?" Risa just stared at me for a moment."If you don't like it I can try to make it better."

"No, it's not your painting, but I like someone else so I can't accept this."

"Well could you just keep it then, I didn't say I liked you s-so it could just be random gift from me to you." I could feel myself flush from embarrassment.

"I don't want anything that's not from Dark-san and I don't need your paintings! I'm sorry Niwa-kun, but I only like you as a friend."

Risa stomped away while I slowly lowered my extended hand. Everything went completely against my multi-edited plan. All I wanted to do was give Risa a painting I painstakingly made for her and she didn't accept it. I felt my heart break. I should have expected this though, she was the most beautiful girl in school, why would she like me suddenly when she has been droning on and on about Dark? Still, it hurts so much.

"Niwa-kun, Niwa-kun. Are you okay?" I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh yes."I could see Riku staring at me concernedly out of the corner of my eye.

"You shouldn't waste your time on Risa. She's too self absorbed to think of anyone else. Are you sure you're okay?"

Riku is really nice. She's the complete opposite of Risa.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Riku looked like she didn't believe me after all, Saheara practically made it known to the whole school that I like Risa.

"Why don't you sit with us at lunch today?" Ever since I met Satoshi in the garden, I came there everyday to make sure he had enough to eat and he always brought just one piece of bread and some water.

"Um, I--,"

"Don't worry, we can go somewhere without Risa. Saheara and I will make you feel better."

I smiled faintly at her. She was such a great friend. I couldn't just refuse her and I was in no mood of refusing anything anyways.

"Thank you, I'll just put this in my locker." I started to head back but Riku grabbed my sleeve. I looked back to see a really concerned expression on her. "Eh?"

"Niwa-kun, I...I'll come with you." It looked like she was going to say something but it was probably hard for her to say anything comforting because from what I've learned, she isn't the emotional type. She was just a tomboy who was really nice though she didn't like people noticing it.

I smiled a little more. "Thank you Harada-san." I hope Satoshi gets something nourishing though I doubt he got anything other than the usual.

Satoshi's POV

When he didn't come after 15 minutes, I knew he wouldn't be coming. I knew it, but I still had hope. After 20 minutes, I knew he was gone and had accepted that.

I don't deserve a friend like him, I knew it wouldn't last, but he made me happy, more than I ever was. Perhaps this is the best though, it's the reason why I shied away from all of my classmates. I have a terrible secret and I don't ever want to hurt anyone. I would never forgive myself if I hurt him. I guess it is for the best. Daisuke...

My head, it's getting dizzy again. I am sitting on the fountain as usual and the water's rushing noise soothes me. It is after all, part of my element. It did nothing to help my dizziness though. I let out a sigh.

"So Hiwatari-kun's developing a soft spot for a human, huh?" I glared at the emerging Dark.

"Oh, and what about you. If I recall correctly, you've been watching us ever since he came." Dark visibly stiffened, then relaxed and plastered a smirk on his face though I could tell he was still uncomfortable.

"So you really don't remember anything do you? You're pitiful." His normally relaxed complexion was replaced with something like a glare.

The glare didn't surprise me as much as his words. It seemed he knew something of my past that I didn't. Despite my curiosity, I was able to keep my voice dismissive.

"Remember what?"

"Tch, forget it." Dark turned around and started stalking back into the woods. I wasn't desperate for my past, but I was still curious. Asking twice is more than I ever do though so my words came out careful.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Dark turned back to me and raised his brow. His amused smirk was applied to his face again.

"So, Hiwatari-kun actually is curious about what happened?" I simply narrowed my eyes.

"What happened?" Dark just smiled and winked.

"Since you asked three times, I'll grace you with a hint." Dark tapped his chin as if thinking, though I doubt he had to think that long. Finally he grinned and answered, "I'm trying to prevent what almost happened when we were young from happening now."

"Is Daisuke involved with this?" Dark just enlarged his grin.

"Wait did I just hear Daisuke? So you admit that you care about him." That didn't even call for a respond.

"Mousy-senpai is he involved with this?" I said this calmly and slowly though my anger was also seeping through.

"I already gave you a hint, the rest is for you to figure out or shall I say remember. "

"Mousy-senpai, tell me what happened!" I didn't care that he was provoking me and I just fell into his trap by yelling.

"Daisuke really did change you. You're more fun now." I glared at him and he just laughed. "See you later Hiwatari-kun."

Dark turned away and before he could take a step forward, I angrily thrust my hand forward directing ice to encase his foot. Dark tuned back and smirked at me.

"So you're showing your emotions now, Satoshi?" He tsked at me wagging a finger at my direction. "You're friendship with that human is changing you. I advise you to be careful." With that, Dark kicked his encased foot breaking the ice and before I could capture him again, he turned into a crow and flew away.

After I could see him no more, I contemplated what he said. He was right, I was changing, and that couldn't be a good thing if I couldn't control my emotions.

There was something else though. Dark knew something that I didn't. He knew my past and something that happened. Obviously Daisuke was involved. It isn't possible that Dark lied to me, he's not the type to do so just for fun. So what do I need to remember? What did I forget?

And just like him, he said I must be careful. Is he working with him?

The dizziness that had slowly faded away while talking to Dark came back again as I tried to remember. I breathed in the aroma of flowers and let the rushing fountain's noise calm me down. Then I stood up and got ready for the next class. I could think of everything later, right now I pushed all my thoughts to the back of my head and the dizziness lessened.

I started towards the entrance when I saw a dove sitting in a tree above me. Dove's weren't found near here, so why would it be here? Dismissing it as one of Dark's transformation, I continued on the way. I heard a flutter of wings and when I looked back, it was gone.
