Sorry I'm late everyone! This chapter is going to show why Daisuke was busy
"Talking"
/Dark/
\Daisuke\
'Thoughts'

Disclaimer: Oops forgot this. I no own D. or Inuyasha. If I did Inuyasha and Kagome would have been a couple earlier and Daisuke and Riku would have too. But alas, I don't. Anyway On to la story!

*Daisuke's POV*

I woke up and stretched, I looked at the time. It was 9:00 AM.
"Morning, Daisuke-sama!" Towa chirped, smiling as she greeted me every morning.
"Ohayou, Towa-chan. Are Mom and Dad awake yet?" I asked her, rubbing my eyes.
"Emiko-san is awake and making breakfast. Kosuke-san is still sleeping. Oh, also, Emiko-san wanted to talk to you downstairs, after you woke up,"
"Okay," I nodded as Towa headed downstairs. Getting changed into normal clothes, I headed downstairs to have breakfast.
"Morning," I said out loud to everyone as I headed to the table, sitting down.
"Morning, Dai," Mom greeted, usual smile on her face.

She suddenly got a serious look, and walked up to me. "Dai, we have to get the Shikon no Tama," I was shocked.
"What?! But Mom, we don't need to anymore because it's in Kagome-san's hands, and she's protecting it well, right?" I asked.
"We don't really know if she's a good person or not. For all we know she could be a bad person with good acting skills," Mom looked determined, so I sighed, disappointed, knowing she had a point.
"B-but..." I attempted, to which I was cut off.
"No buts. You have to do it, we have to keep forces like this from causing havoc," Mom cut me off, and I sighed. Not like I could do anything about it anyway. What has to be done, must be done.

I checked the time. It was 11:05 AM. I was about to head back into my room when the phone rang. I ran over, picking up the phone. "Hello?" I asked, wondering who it was.
"Hey, ummm, is Daisuke-san there?" A girl's voice asked, sounding tired.
"I'm Daisuke, who is this?" I asked.
"Kagome-desu*" She replied.
"K-k-kagome-san!" I stuttered, shocked. She didn't seem to notice my shock and continued sspeaking.
"Inuyasha and I were thinking about heading out of town for lunch. Maybe you and Riku-chan want to come?" She asked, sounding hopeful. This meant the perfect chance to steal the Shikon no Tama, but... /Just go for it. And technically, it's me doing the stealing/ Dark commented, and I could picture him smirking.
"I'm sorry, Kagome-san, I'm a little... busy today, Mom wanted me to run some errands," I told her. I wasn't telling a lie exactly... It just wasn't the full truth.
"Oh," She sounded really disappointed. "Okay then, I guess we just have to go by ourselves. Well, See you tomorrow, Daisuke-san," She sent her goodbye.
"Bye," I replied, and the phone went off with a click.

"Dai, who was it?" Mom asked.
"It was Kagome-san,"
"What? Did she tell you if she was leaving the house at all today?" She asked, looking at me with excitement. The look on my face must've said it all, because she turned serious and nodded. "Then this is the perfect time to steal it," She said, before becoming cheery again. "Come home quickly, I do need you to help with some errands I need to run," She reminded, before turning around and entering the kitchen to make lunch. Sighing, I thought 'I'm sorry, Kagome-san' before turning into Dark and heading into the subconscious part of my mind.

*Dark's Pov*

Finally! Good to be back out again! "Wiz!" I called, and he turned into my wings. I took off, shouting a 'yeah!' into the air before heading to the Higurashi Shrine. Slipping into Kagome's room, I quickly surveyed the area. A desk, a pink bed, a bureau and a mirror were all in the organized bedroom. I checked the closet near the bedroom door. 'Not there,' I thought. 'It was much easier when there were guards standing all around the thing I was looking for. What's this jewel supposed to look like anyway? All I know is that it's pink.' \Check the desk, most girls tend to put something they want to protect in a desk drawer with and lock.\ "Thanks, Daisuke" I replied and headed to the desk.

After trying to open the only drawer with a keyhole, I figured it was locked, and checked each draw for the key. Making no success, I sighed irritably. "Why wouldn't she hide the key in a place near the lock. I've tried looking under everything already," I noticed Daisuke's attitude change. "What is it?" I asked.
\No, you haven't.\
"Haven't what?" I asked him. In reply, he mentally face palmed.
\You haven't looked under everything, Dark. What if there's a fake bottom in one of the drawers?\
"Daisuke, this isn't one of those spy movies. She's just a-" I stopped, thinking over the story she had told us about her and her friends from 500 years ago.
\Just a what?\ Daisuke asked.
"Never mind, I'm gonna go check the drawers now," I said, checking the drawers.

It turns out Daisuke was right, not that I would tell him that. That would give him a perfect chance to destroy the little pride I have. \I'm pretty sure it would do you well to level that ego of yours, Dark\ Daisuke commented. I said that aloud. Oh well.
"Well, well, well, looks like someone's beginning to get some back bone," I teased. It's so fun to see him get riled up, considering how he over reacts when he does.
\You've been gone quite a while, Dark. Things have changed.\ He told me.
"At least it hasn't changed too much. You still act the same, although you have matured somewhat," I noted, placing the key in the hole, unlocking the drawer. "Bingo," After carefully going through the drawer, I found a bottle with some shards of a pick stone in it. "This it, Daisuke?" I asked.
\Yeah, it is. Now let's go before they get back.\ Daisuke hurried. I relocked the drawer, placed the key back under the fake bottom, shut the drawer, and leaped out of the window, whistling for Wiz.

Daisuke seems to have gotten solemn ever since we got back. I sighed, it wasn't like I wanted to do it either, but the job had to be done.
/Come, everything's fine. I doubt Kagome even knows it's missing. We'll be returning it after Emiko and Daiki are done with it anyway. So stop worrying./
"Maybe you're right, but I have a bad feeling," Daisuke replied, climbing into bed. " 'Night, Dark,"
/Huh? But it's still early. You can't be that tired, are-/ I stopped when I felt he was already asleep. Sighing, I said, "Good night, Daisuke," and faded into the shadows of his mind.

How was that? Sorry for the lateness. I was very busy this summer. I'm not kidding. I do a theatre program every summer, and I got a character role. So I had to (instead of writing fanfiction) Learn my character's song and riff(free style) it in a way so that it sounds good, learn my lines and memorize it all for the show they have a month later. and a week after the show I went to the beach, which meant for me no wifi. I hope this makes up for it being late! I'll try to get it up faster! FORGIVE ME if I don't. Until next time, Ja ne! :D
