It'd been a week since Dark landed on my balcony and throughout that time he and I had become somewhat close friends. I knew almost everything about him and vice versa. Each day we learnt something new about one another. Dark was even helping me train to control my anger. Throughout the time of him being here I'd started to develop a little crush on him. I couldn't help it, he's just so sweet when he's not being a perv and plus he is very attractive.
"Kitten! Daisuke's here!" Dark called up the stairs.
Daisuke had been to visit almost every day Dark had been here. I could tell he was worried about his previous other half. Their relationship was like a younger and older brother one and it was easy to see they cared about each other a lot.
I muttered darkly to myself about that nickname he'd insisted on keeping for me as I rushed around my room looking for my shirt. Finally finding it I threw it over my head and descended the stairs into the foyer. "Hi Daisuke!" I said happily.
He smiled and nodded towards me. "Hi!"
I lead him into the kitchen where Dark and I had prepared a rather large meal for the three of us.
"This all looks great!" Daisuke exclaimed.
Dark and I looked at each other and smirked proudly. "Thanks." We answered in sync.
After eating we all went out to my balcony to have some tea and talk.
A knock at the door broke our conversation as we all turned to look towards my room.
"I'll get it." Dark said pushing himself from the chair and heading back inside.
I turned back to look at Daisuke and smiled. "He's doing a lot better. His ankle is still badly bruised but the gash on his back his healing well." I said.
He nodded and smiled back. "Thanks for looking after him Miss Hoshita."
I laughed and shook my head. "How many times do I have to tell you to call me Erika?" I asked.
He blushed and bowed his head. "Sorry."
A loud crash downstairs disrupted us and I immediately lept from my seat and rushed downstairs to see Siato struggling with Dark on the floor.
"Siato what are you doing?!" I yelled prying him off Dark who was clutching his shoulder tightly with a grimace.
Siato pointed at Dark accusingly. "This guy broke into our house and had the nerve to answer the door!" He exploded.
"That guy happens to be a friend of mine!" I snapped at him. "Don't go around attacking people when you don't know the facts idiot!" I growled thumping him in the arm.
Let me out! I'll teach that idiot a thing or too! Nina growled.
I pushed her away and turned to Dark and helped him up and when I touched his shoulder I felt it was wet. Looking at my hand there was blood.
I cursed under my breath and rushed to the kitchen to grab some towels and water to soak up the blood.
"Who is this guy Erika?" Siato asked storming in after me.
I turned from the cupboards and glared at him. "That's Dark. He's a friend of mine who is boarding here at the moment seeming I found him collapsed outside our gates. He's badly hurt and that shoulder of his which was healing very well is all screwed up again thanks to your idiocy." I stated stalking past him back into the lounge room.
"Shirt off please." I said as kindly as I could at that time.
Dark nodded and shrugged the shirt off.
I pulled the bandage away from his shoulder to see that it was in fact bleeding again and looked as though it had gotten infected. Cursing under my breath I lightly pressed the wet towel to the gash and asked Dark to hold it there while I went up to get the cream.
"Is everything okay?" Daisuke asked coming into my room.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair roughly. "My idiot brother is here and attacked Dark thinking he was an intruder and screwed up his shoulder again. So I don't think Dark will be doing anymore stealing for the time being." I explained grabbing the bandages and cream and hurried back down the stairs.
I took the towel from Dark's hands and pulled it away, gently starting to rub the cream around it then placed a fresh bandage over it.
"Sorry about that." Siato murmured to Dark.
Dark nodded curtly at him and stood from the couch. "I'm going to go grab a new shirt." He stated walking up the stairs.
"What are you doing here Siato?" I asked turning to face him. "I mean I'm happy to see you I'm just confused, I thought you still had school." I cocked my head to the side in confusion.
He shrugged. "I wanted to see how you were doing and see mum and dad. They're still leaving near the city aren't they?" He asked.
I nodded and went to sit next to him. "I've missed you." I muttered laying my head on his shoulder.
He chuckled and kissed the top of my head. "I missed you too. And I really am sorry about attacking Dark like that."
"I know." I said lifting my head up. "Are you staying?" I asked.
He shook his head. "I'm only here for a couple of days and it'll take me at least four hours to get to mum and dad, then back to the airport." He explained.
I sighed and hung my head. "I understand." I muttered.
"But, as soon as I'm on holidays I'll come and stay with you for a few weeks." He said with a smile.
I smiled up at him an nodded. "I'd like that."
He stood from the couch and wrapped his arms around me in a loving hug before pulling away. "Tell Dark I'm sorry again for me."
I nodded and nudged him towards the door.
Once he was gone I let out a sigh and went back upstairs to find Dark and Daisuke back out on my balcony. I walked out and sat back in my seat. "He told me to apologise to you again." I said turning to look a Dark.
He nodded and gave me a small smile. "It's fine. I understand where he's coming from. I do look like a thief." He shrugged.
I chuckled and shook my head. "That's because you are a thief." I stated.
Daisuke laughed. "Forget that already Dark?" He asked.
Dark nodded and sighed dramatically. "It's been so long since I've stolen something."
I scoffed. "Please you stole my hair dryer yesterday and wouldn't give it back to me till I jumped you." I laughed.
Dark waved his hand at me. "Doesn't count. That was just too easy." He smirked.
I rolled my eyes and looked at Daisuke. "How have you put up with him so long? He's such a drama Queen."
Daisuke shrugged. "I tend to ignore him."
"Hey!" Dark snapped. "I am sitting right here."
I looked to him and smirked. "Oh I forgot you were there."
He grumbled and crossed his arms with a pout.
"Drama queen." I sung softly.
