Spiffster: Yes! Chapter nine! I will get right to it, because I know you all want to know what is going to happen to Kisa. (See chapter 8 if you're confused.) On with the story!
A/N: All my chapters will start in Kisa's perspective. Also, This is Dark or Krad, /this is Satoshi or Daisuke mind speaking with Dark or Krad/ (This is me offering a little insight.)

Chapter 9: I Don't Know
"Well, I'm waiting!"
"Um. Well, you see-" I broke off. Wait a minute. "You pervert!" I slapped him across the face. "Don't take advantage of me or Daisuke, Dark!" It all made perfect sense. Daisuke's mind was weak when I used the spell to remove the bracelet, so he forgot everything. But Dark didn't. And he didn't believe me about anything.
"You know, you almost had me fooled Dark." I stood and walked towards the door, only to have it slam in my face.
"I won't tell Daisuke anything, Kisa, I just want to know." He looked at me with his big, adoring, bewitching eyes.
"Sorry Dark, but even if I knew, I still wouldn't tell you." I turned back towards the door, but he kept his hand on it.
"Sorry, I won't accept your lies!" Gone was the adoration. Somebody was pissed off at me! Holy cow, I ought to be pissed off at him! Why was everything falling apart? And backwards!
"Sorry, that was the truth. If you don't want it, don't take it."
"Then make me believe you, convince me." He looked almost sad. Things just keep getting weirder by the minute!
"Sorry, I can't cure stupid!" Ooh, excellent burn Kisa. Why thank you. I smiled slightly. Now I just needed to stop apologizing. I turned to see how he was taking it, and I regretted it. Dark bent close, kissing me right on the lips.
"Fine then." He whispered huskily. "But I will get the truth, soon." He whispered silkily in my ear, opening the door and letting me, no, pushing me, out. (Dark doesn't know who Kisa is, kissing people is just what he does. But he does kind of like her.)
I stood in the hallway, stunned.
-The door slammed in my face. "Tell me the truth, Kisa!" "No!" I shouted. "Do you love him? Did you fall in love with KokuYoku?"
"There is no truth! Everything I've ever believed was a lie!" I finished with a whisper. I turned to look at Krad, and he leaned forward and kissed me. "I will find out the truth Kisa." He whispered huskily. He opened the door and pushed me out.-
Standing in the hallway still, I screamed and stumbled down the stairs, yelling at Emiko as I went by and running out the door. No, storming, out the door. Sorry Emiko.
I ran past my little house, past the diner, past the subway, straight to the park. I sat on a bench and slowly let the barrage of memories and emotions consume me.
---Kisa's Past---
"Hikari-san, I would like to go to school in China. I think it would be helpful, culturally."
"Well, I don't know…"
"Please, I'm begging you! If it doesn't work out I'll come back, right away, I promise."
"Well, alright. Go tell the boys, and I'll get your tickets."
"Thank you Hikari-san!" I kissed his forehead.
"Yuki-kun." I called, peering into his room.
"Yes?" He appeared from around the corner, looking annoyed.
"I, um." Looking at him made me nervous, he was so cute. "I've decided to go to China for school. Doesn't that sound fun?" I smiled up at him.
"Yes, please do your best." He looked preoccupied. "I'm a little busy right now. When are you leaving?"
I looked away. "As soon as Hikari-san gets me tickets. He's going to book a passage right now."
He nodded. "Okay, just come back when you're leaving and let me know." He smiled. I nodded and turned away. "Wait. Promise me you'll come back?"
"Of course." I promised, heading back to my room, not bothering to tell Kyou.
I flopped onto my bed and sighed. "He doesn't even care." I cried quietly to myself. "No Kisa, you mustn't get wrapped up in self pity." I admonished myself, walking over to my closet. I packed all my clothes and my books, and everything I might need. Basically, everything I owned.
Within a week I was standing on the docks, waiting for the ship to start loading.
"Goodbye, Kisa." Yuki-kun seemed very distant, and Kyou-san seemed moody. Even though he did give me a hug. I kissed Hikari-san's cheeks and said goodbye to them all as a sailor, or the captain, called out.
"All aboard!" I turned and walked up the plank to the ship, turning to wave once I reached the deck. I made my way to my cabin.
Upon arriving, I found that the trip had been worth it. The ocean port here was much more beautiful than the one I had left at in Japan. I walked through it to the street, and continued, following the direction Hikari-san gave me. I found the apartment and cleaned it up a bit before settling all my stuff in. School didn't start for a week, so I spent most of my time seeing sites and learning the area. The school was nearby, so I wouldn't have far to walk.
The first day of school was pretty bad, but after that I made lots of friends and I grew to love it in China. My first friend was a girl named Finn. Soon Maron and KokuYoku followed. I called him Yoku-chan. We all knew each others secrets, we even all knew that Yoku-chan had wings he could pull out and he was magical. And that he was technically a parasite whose host died of cancer. And he somehow survived. Over the years, the four of us became inseparable. Until high school ended.
About a week after school ended, I was sitting with Yoku-chan on a bench under a Sakura tree.
"Kisa, I was wondering." He looked uncomfortable.
"Yes?" I looked up at my long-time friend. I kicked a pebble by my foot and watched it fly into a nearby…person??!! I looked up to apologize and found myself looking at Yuki-kun. I stood slowly, watching him watch me. "Yuki-kun?" I asked. "Is that really you?" I stared in disbelief.
"I've come to take you home, Kisa-chan." He looked at me calmly, understanding that I would need some time. "The ship leaves this afternoon. Meet me at the pier, I'll get your stuff." He turned and walked away, expecting no opposition.
"You're leaving." A statement. I looked over at a very shocked Yoku-chan.
"I'll say goodbye to you at the pier." I walked away to say goodbye to Maron and Finn.
After many tearful goodbyes, I found myself on the pier with KokuYoku. Yuki-kun was waiting on board already, watching me.
"Goodbye, Yoku-chan." I said turning to him.
"You have to go?"
"Yes, I promised." I smiled lightly. "I will keep in touch, okay?"
"If you ever grow weary of Japan, just come back. We'll all be here for you, okay?" I nodded, getting teary-eyed. Yoku-chan hugged me. "Goodbye, Souma Kisa." He whispered, breaking off and kissing my forehead. He turned and stepped away, watching me climb up to the deck. I turned and waved, accidentally dropping my handkerchief. I went to my cabin to sleep and cry.
THE PRESENT
I opened my eyes slowly, and found myself crying and shaking in the rain. I remembered wishing he would have just asked me to stay. I would have stayed for him. I would have stayed in China for KokuYoku. I would have stayed for Dark.
--Dark's Perspective---
I leaned against the wall, wondering why I felt so affected by it all. "Who are you, Kisa?" I whispered. "Why do I feel, like this?"
/Hmm. Ah! I feel refreshed from my nap! Wait a minute. Dark!!!! Why are you in control?? What did I sleep through/
Nothing of importance. Go back to sleep. Actually, never mind, I'll go to sleep.
"What? Oh, I have control again." Daisuke thought to himself.
/Dark, what were you doing/
…
/Dark, are you okay/
"Hey look, Riku called!" Daisuke observed.
/What did Riku want/
/Dark/
"Daisuke!" Daisuke looked up at his mom, who was now standing in the doorway. "Why did Kisa go running out so fast? What happened?"
"Huh? Um… OH!!!" /DARK!!!!!!!!!!!/
Spiffster: And that is chapter nine. Are you surprised? I took the names Maron and Finn from Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne. I really liked that manga series. KokuYoku is I think the name Argentine called Dark in volume ten, in case anyone was lost there. I'm not sure if it's right though, so just let me know if it is or not.
Ki-chan: I hate how weak I appear in this one.
Dark-san: I'm going to pretend I didn't read this one, cause I'm not supposed to know that Kisa is the same one from so long ago.
Sato-chan: I didn't appear in this one, so I was a little disappointed.
Krad: I indirectly hugged Kisa. Take that Dark! And I kissed her!
Dai-chan: Dark you're so mean! You were using me and Kisa!
Dark-san: I wish she hadn't pointed out how I used to be.
Spiffster: Oh, good idea. Dark wasn't always a flirt. He used to be rather awkward, as he was here. Perhaps if he'd had more guts, he'd have asked Kisa to stay. Well, now you'll just have to wait for chapter ten! Also, this chapter sort of clears up how Kisa knew Dark before, and I will explain how they become enemies (Dark and Krad). Although, it's kind of obvious. Also, Krad did actually love Kisa back when he was part of Kyou, but the love became twisted because he could tell that Kisa loved Yuki. If that makes sense.
