Author's Note: Hey guys, long time no see, sorry for how long it's been since an update. I've been really busy with the last month of the semester in school, and my finals. But they are almost over, and after that, I should be able to write more, I have a lot more in stored for this story, I know it's kind of slow right now, but I hope you'll find it better later on. Thanks for reading, and I love feedback. Here is the next chapter! –Atom
Chapter #4: Satoshi
Riku and I watch Daisuke run into the boy's locker-room, once he's out of sight we turn and stare blankly at each other. "Was it something we said?" Riku said as her gaze slowly shifted back to the door to the showers.
"I'm not sure. Maybe he's still stirred up from his fall. I could go check to see if he's alright." She looks nervous as she turns back to me.
"Yeah, I think you should. Just in case something happened to him." I start to walk forward, and then turn back to her.
"Here," I say as I toss the stopwatch at her, "You hold onto that for now. Wait here, I should be right back. If Ms. Kumiko asked what's going on, just tell her what happened." She nods at me, clenching the watch. I turn back and continue down the floor to the door. As I open it and walk in, I find myself facing a frightened Dark sitting on the floor. "Well, well, don't you think it's a bit early for you to be out, Dark?" I smirk at the wingless angel.
"Hi-Hiwatari, it's just you, phwew, you gave me such a heart attack just now. I thought you were someone else." He has one hand clenched in a fist against his heart as he sighs in relief.
"Daisuke?" I'm quite stunned.
"Yes, well, who else would you," he stops midsentence and looks down at himself and his hands now held out infront of him, "Oh yeah.."
"Yeah… What happened, did Dark force the change? But then why are you still in control? What are you going to do?"
-Master, calm down, it seems this little pipsqueak is weak like you, but too bad my other half is too dull to try to take over every shot he can get. If only your places were switched, then I could finally have my own body.-
'You'll never get that lucky, now shut up!'
"Well actually I'm not sure what caused the change this time. I think I was still shaken from, well you know. And I'm not sure what to do now, I don't feel like I'll be changing back for a while yet. I don't think I'll be going back out to swim either, so I'll probably start by getting changed out of this swim suit.." I look at him and laugh slightly meekly.
"Yeah, you and Dark aren't exactly the same. Will your regular uniform fit you, by the looks of this I wouldn't imagine that it would."
"No, everything will be short in length, and a little bit tighter, but it's better than this, and the best I can do for now." He's so cheery, even in a troubled situation. And changing clothes won't fix his problem either.
"So what will you do after that?" He starts to stand up, and makes his way over to me. I think I liked it better when he was on the ground, it makes me feel slightly uncomfortable looking up at 'Daisuke' to speak to him. He looks up at the ceiling and scratches the back of his head with one hand.
"Umm, I think I should probably go home. Class would be over soon anyways, and then I'd be free to go home like everybody else. But I can't risk anyone seeing me like this." I can tell by the tone of his voice that he is still unsure if that is the best decision.
"That sounds like a good plan. If you want, I could go tell Ms. Kumiko that you're leaving early since you're not feeling well from drowning earlier, and I can take you home to make sure you get there okay. If you want me to that is." I remain monotone, and I motion to the door behind me.
"That would be great Hiwatari! I just need to get changed, and then we could leave." He runs over to his clothes folded on the bench, then turns back, "Well I suppose, you'd have to get changed too huh?" he smiles and turns back to his clothes. Then he tugs a hand full of his purple hair infront of him. "Yeah, you're right, that could cause problems.." This confuses me at first, until I realize that there are technically four of us in this room.
"Is something the matter now?" He turns to face me and points at his hair he is still holding.
"Dark's hair, it's kind of noticeable."
"Is that all? Well there are some sports team uniforms in that closet around the corner, I'm pretty sure there are some baseball caps in there. The door is locked, but I'm sure that shouldn't be a problem for you." I give him a smug wink and turn to leave. "Well I'm sure you'll be fine for now. I'll go see Ms. Kumiko about leaving." Before I can reach the door..
"Thank-you, Hiwatari." I look back at him smiling at me.
"You're welcome Niwa, but seriously Daisuke, what would you do without me?" I smirk and leave him to get changed and brake into the storage room. I suppose I should also tell Riku that both her partners are out for the day now. Maybe joining swim class again wasn't a good decision after all.
-I tried to tell you Master Satoshi, and this is what you get.-
Considering all that happened, I don't really regret much after all.
