Risa was shocked. He couldn't have meant that. No he must have been joking, but Hiwatari-kun never jokes, never. He is bery much emotionless and to joke you need emotion, or was her changing?

Risa had felt sort of a difference in the way Satoshi acted. It was very subtle, quite unnoticeable, but there. Risa had immediately dismissed it as nothing and if it was something, it was just the lifted burden of Krad. Nothing major, well aside from the last fact.

But still, what he said.

"I was going to kiss you."

Risa's head whirled.

Did she want him to kiss her?

No, of course not. She loves dark-san.

But he's gone, sealed away.

But still, wouldn't his memory be defaced if she went and loved another man?

He did reject you, Risa. He had only ever loved your grandmother.

Thoughts and confusion spiraled throughout Risa's mind. The storm had still not calmed the next day at school.

Consequentially, Risa ran into Satoshi on her way to school.

"Hi…Hiwatari-kun!" She was very surprised.

He nodded at her and walked away.

Phew! She thought. I didn't want to talk to him; I don't think I'm ready to talk to hi, saying what he said and all.

She walked into class and sat down in her desk. Daisuke and Risa were sitting next to each other talking. Satoshi was nowhere to be seen and Saehara started walking over to her.

"Harada-san, you really need to lighten up. You look way too serious. I know Dark is now gone and how much you loved him, but its okay. You still have me." Saehara grinned.

Risa was taken aback, what does he mean, "you still have me"? Does he mean as a friends or more than a friend. He was just talking about Dark and he was her first love. Gah! First Hiwatari-kun, now Saehara-san. She's really messed up!

"Harada-san, you just blanked out on me. You're supposed to respond to what I said. Its rude to ignore the people or person you're having a conversation with."

"Ummmm… that's nice." Risa mumbled, not knowing what really to say.

"'That's nice' is all you have to say? I just asked you out!"

Oh God! He really did meant it the way she didn't want him to mean it. And why is Hiwatari-kun loking toward Risa's direction.

Satoshi had, at that moment been looking at her, appraising her looks, which, in his opinion, were quite fine. But he would never let anybody know he thought that. That day they ran into each other had been a huge mistake. He really shouldn't have said what he said, but he had meant it. He had meant it with every fiber of his being, but he had lost control of his body and let his mouth utter things that were not to be let out. Kind of like with Krad.

Now Saehara-san was looking and talking to her, with a look in his eyes. It wasn't a look Saoshi liked. It was too friendly, no it wasn't friendly at all. It was more. It was the way Satoshi wanted to be able to look at Risa.

Oh no, what should I say, I mean, I don't want to hurt his feelings but I don't really want to go out with him either and what about what Hiwatari-kun said… this is way too much a girl can handle, especially a girl who just, in a sense, lost her first love.

"Uh sure. I'd love to go out with you, Saehara-san."

AN: I wrote the last couple paragraphs while i was working my abs... it was hard, cuz my hand got really cramped cuz i was writing so fast (i was writing with a pencil, not on my laptop) and, well, i was working out my abs so it like HURT!
