Satoshi walked quietly into Dai's room and went over to his bed. He sat the bowl down on the top of Dai's desk where it was within reach and climbed up the ladder to Dai's bunk.

He lightly shook Daisukes arm. "Niwa wake up." He kind of cooed in the smaller boys ear.

Dai 'mmf'-ed and rolled over where his back was to Saoshi. Satoshi sighed and shook Dai's arm a little rougher. Nothing really happened, so Sato shook his arm even rougher.

"Gurglemurgle flurgle?" Dai said sleepily.

"Niwa wake up." Satoshi said in hie ear.

Dai 'eep'-ed from the warmth of Sato's breath on his ear and jumped up into a sitting position and in the process almost giving him a nose bleed.

"Watch where you swing your fist, Niwa."

"Sorry Hiwatari. You scared me."

"I tried to wake you before."

"Sorry I'm a heavy sleeper."

"I noticed." While he spoke Sato leaned over and grabbed the still steaming bowl of soup. "Be careful the bowl is hot."

He handed the bowl to Dai and scooted a little ways away to let him eat. "Have you eaten, Hiwatari?"

"Not recently, Niwa, but dont worry about me. Im not hungry." He replied as he watched Dai eat his soup.

"Says the kid who eats bread for lunch." Dark said from the doorway. "Plain bread. Couldn't you be spontanious and maybe eat a bagel?"

"You're an idiot Dark." Sato said flatly.

Dark brushed the insult off like a fly and looked at Dai. "How're you feelin, lil guy?"

"Better, Dark, but im not one hundred percent."

"Thats good. You just need a lot of sleep and good soup. Dont worry about Emiko right now, kay Dai?"

"Easy for you to say, Dark."

"You need to just worry about getting better and not about stupid family members." All three heard the front door slam open.

"You-who Dark!"

"Speak of the devil." Dark said to the other two in the room. "Couldnt she stay away for a little bit longer?"

"Obviously not."

"DARK, I found a friend of yours who wants to see you! Go on up to Darks room Risa. His room is at the top of the stairs."

"Still think mom will love me now?" Dai almost spat towards Dark.

"Maybe. We'll just see. Maybe its just a slip of the tongue."

Risa started yo the stairs. "You know, Dai, I really dont like her. Shes OBSESSIVE!" Risa reached the top of the stairs and tackled Dark to the ground.

"Oh, Mr.Dark! I didnt know Emiko was your mum!" She was hugging him tightly.

"Gah. Cant breathe. Gonna pass out." Risa loosened her grip. "Dang it." Dark muttered.

"Niwa!" Risa said getting off of Dark. "Why are you in Mr. Darks room? With Satoshi?"

"Actually this is Dai's room. Satoshi is staying a few nights because...uh..."

"His house is being fumigated." Dai supplied smiling at Satoshi. "Right, Hiwatari-kun?"

"Yeah." Satoshi said almost reluctantly.

Risa ignored them and turned back to Dark. "Mr.Dark will you go out with me?"

"Im sorry Risa but im really busy. Dai isnt feeling the best and his family is going away tomorrow to buy some artwork."

"Oh. What about..."

"No. Sorry im going to be busy for a while."

"Okay." She headed down stairs to talk to Emiko.

"I REALLY dont like her, Dai."

"Your fault Dark." Dai said. "Shell be suspicious. With our luck shell hide out and watch the house."

"That means creepy boy cant go home. HAHAAHA." Dar was happy at that. He could make fun of Satoshi for days onend that way.

"Which means you cant leave either Dark." Satoshi said.

That busted Darks bubble. "Lock the doors! Board up the window!"

"Idiot." The two teens replied as they watched Dark start to hyperventilate.

Dai and Sato kept watching Dark for a minute. "How long do you think he'll keep doing that?" Dai finally asked.

"No clue." Satoshi said as he climbed up and sat on the top rung of Dai's ladder.

"Wouldnt most people be unconscious by now?" Dai asked as Dark turned as purple as his eyes.

"I would say so."

That was when Krad walked into the room. He smaked Dark, hard, on the back, making him breathe agan.

"Aww, Krad. We were seeing how long Dark would last." Dai whined.

"You'll have to wait until another time because Emiko is flipping out down there. Its kinda creepy."

Dark and Krad left Dai's room to calm down Emiko. "Why am I going to say it has something to do with Dark?" Dai asked.

"Probably mad that he wont go out with Risa." Satoshi said. "We really sould make Dark go out with her. Even better," He smiled evily. "Krad and Dark go on a double date with Risa and Riku."

"Thats mean, Hiwatari-kun." Dai said. "But I'd pay to see it."

"I would too." He smiled at Dai. "I need to go home and pack some cloths and stuff if Im to stay here."

"Alright Hiwatari-kun. Id recommend you be back by dark," Dai rolled his eyes. "Let me correct that. By sundown because when Risa stakes out she attacks people after that."

"Shes done it before?"

"About four times and Im usually the one she 'accidently' attacks." He snorted. "I had bruises for weeks."

Satoshi smiled and left to get his things from his house. When he got downstairs though he was surprised.

"Emiko, thats Dai's room!" Dark called.

"No Dark. Its your room. Daisuke is no longer my son. He just lives here. If he wants to do an afterschool activity he finds a way here. He wants money he gets a job. Hes not my son anymore."

"Hes always been your son!"

"I had a boy to have you. YOU are my son not your former master."

Satoshi ran out of the house and made it to his in record breaking time. After he packed a suitcase of cloths and grabbed his laptop and notebook he left again, locking the door behind him.

He ran back to the Niwa house where Dark and Emiko were still fighting. Krad had long before gone to ransack the kitchen.

When Satoshi reached Dai's room, Dai was sitting on his bed with a depressed look on his face. "Niwa-kun?"

"I heard it all, Hiwatari-kun. You dont need to say anything."

"Im sorry you had to heaar that Niwa-kun."

"Dont call me Niwa-kun anymore. I dont belong in the family anymore. Just call me by my real name."

"Im sorry." Satoshi put his bag and computer down on Dai's couch. "I know what its like, though."

"You never knew your real parents do you?"

"No and my step father only cared about Krad. I know what its like, but I accepted it."

"I hate fate." Daisuke said. "Fate sucks."

"I know, Daisuke, I know." They boh heard Darks steps on the stairs. "Here comes Dark."

Dai nodded. "Hey Dark." Dark was in the door way.

"So you heard it?" He asked.

"Yeah Dark." Dai had a puppy dog sad look on his face. "I heard it all."

Dark climbed the ladder to Dai's bed. "Im sorry, Dai. Now that Im out of you she wont even say your nickname. I kept her from disowning and kicking you out." Satoshi sat down on the couch and opened his laptop.

"Dont worry about it Dark. I have money in a saving account all my aunts and uncles put my birthday money in. Theres well over three thousand dollars in it. Thats why I would never buy anything when i was in stores, Dark. I knew this day would come, sooner or later." He looked about to cry. "I had just hoped it wouldnt come."

"Dai!" Dark said. "Why didnt you ever tell me?"

"Because it was obvious."

Dark pulled Dai into a hug and rocked him back and forth. "Im not letting you get hurt. Ill get Emiko to understand. She might not want to see you for a while, though."

"When the Niwa's return he can stay at my place until everything is fixed." Satoshi said as he started tying on his lap top. "My step father never comes and he had bought the house for me anyway. Although I should bring Krad to it."

Dai looked at Satoshi. "Thanks."

Satoshi looked up and gave him a smile. "Im just trying to help."

Dark smiled and jumped off the bed, with Dai in tow. "AGH." Dai screamed.

"Why didnt you tell me you wanted down Dai?"

"Dark. you really are a...what did you call him, Hiwatari-kun?"

"Baffoon?" He never looked up.

"Yeah." Dai looked up at Dark then hugged him to let him know it was a joke.

"You had me scared there for a minute, Dai. I almost believed I was a baffoon." He laughed. "Im going to talk to Emiko."

Dark left again, leaving Dai stnding there kind of akward. Satoshi was ingrossed in his computer to nitoce Dai walk over.

"Hiwatari-kun?" Dai asked as he looked at what Satoshi was doing. "Your part of the schools teen help line?"

Satoshi helping people? Krad nice and an ass? Dark protecting Dai? Emiko hating her own son? Man that house is crazy! Keep readin my avid fans? Well I hope your fans..
