Chapter 1

Satoshi lay still in his bed, dressed in his school attire, glasses shinning in the sunlight coming in, but still as death.

He was on his back, faced towards the ceiling, arms and legs spread out on the wrinkled white sheet, warm on the surface from the light, but cold around the figure that lay on them.

The sun light filtered in through the open window, letting the cool morning air blow in, while the waking birds chirped as they took flight to find their morning food. Few people have stirred from their home to commence with their routines, while others continued to sleep in their warm beds.

-vmmmmm-

A lone pail hand stirs as it drags itself across the sheets, searching for the source of the vibrations. Slim fingers gracefully clutch the black object, lifting it up, away from the sheets, above the figure, higher, above its face. Light races from the glasses, reveling eyes blue eyes, lazily looking at the screen displaying the number on the cell phone.

"...mmm." The cell phone falls back against the covers as Satoshi drops the vibrating object, lifting up his body to a sitting position, he leans against the gray wall, staring out the window, eyes staring into the light, body returning to a motionless state.

The phone stops it vibrating, emitting a beep to signal the missed call. Satoshi continues to stare out the glass window, watching two birds fly in a dance together, before flying away. He slowly and gracefully raises himself off the bed, allowing it to be bathed in the suns warmth, and makes his way down the stairs towards the floor level. Walking towards the brown wooden door, he picks up his black school bag on his way from the couch. Slipping on his shoes, he opens the door and walks out.

Back on the bed, the black phone lay forgotten. It starts to vibrate again, showing the same caller. But the phone stayed forgotten, Satoshi's father will have to wait till he gets home.

Later...

"Class, please take your seats and settle down, yes I know last night events were exciting, but this is school, and we are here to learn, not talk about police affairs." The teacher turned around and wrote something on the bored, turning back around with a smile on their face. "Now who can tell me...sweet-drop-class." The teacher let out a groan and a sigh in defeat as the class went back to talking amongst them selves. He sat in his chair and slouched, picking up a newspaper and reading it, leaving the class be.

The class was busy talking about how the Phantom Thief Dark stole the Crystal Tear last night, a beautiful crystal blue gem that was made in the tropical islands, designed into a tear drop shape as big as a child's fist, worth well over 3million cause of it's craftsmanship. It was tied to a silver chain, decorated with diamonds and pearls to its pure gold clasp. Random emeralds were placed along the chain to give it some uniqueness.

On of the girls in the class, wearing pigtail in braids, squealed, causing some stares, but nothing more. "Did you see him on the news? He's so good looking, how I wish I could meet him!" She placed her hands on her cheeks as a blush claimed them, closing her eyes as she daydreamed about the phantom thief. Another girl piped up next to her, looking just as excited, "If only we could meet him, but he never shows himself besides when he steals something! AT least the always get good close-ups of is wonderful face when he's flying above!"

Daisuke Niwa, unlike most of his class, was staring out the window, trying to stop himself from sleeping. /Man, mom had me practice all night yesterday and all because Dark almost got caught by Krad. How is making me train all night while Dark's sleeping going to get us stronger/ Daisuke let his head fall and let it rest on his arms as he began falling asleep. He turned his head and let his eyes stay half closed as he stared out the window, the warm sunlight making his skin tingle./But...it was worth it I guess...I did get to see Hiwatari before we transformed...that wasn't so bad./

/he he, thinking about creepy-boy again Daisuke/ A laugh followed the sentence inside his head./As long as I don't have to see you fawn over him, I'm fine with it. Never thought you would be the one to fall so hard for someone like that though, always thought Risa was your true love./ Dark's face suddenly flashed through his mind, a smug smirk in place.

/Dark! Stay out of my head. Those are private thoughts/ Daisuke buried his face in his arms, now covered with a cherry blush going across his face.

/I'm just saying! It's not like you can hide it from me anyways, right? So...when are you going to tell him/ another vision flashed, this one with Dark raising an eyebrow, still smirking.

/I can't tell him anything! You know how weird that will be, and awkward. We go to the same school, same class! And if word got out about it, I don't even wan t to think about that! And besides all that...It's imposable. Every time we are remotely alone, Krad try's to come out and catch me to catch you.../ Daisuke suddenly felt very depressed, his own words sinking in.

He then felt like something whack him in the back of the head./Don't get yourself all depressed about it, it's just going to take some...strategizing./ Darks face popped up again, this time in a chibi form, rubbing his hands together with a evil look on his face./he he he/

/Dark/ Daisuke mentally groaned./Why couldn't you be like most people and be disgusted and try to get me to love Riku or Risa again/

/Because I'm not like most people for starters. And why should I be disgusted? Just because I waste most of the day thinking about hot girls and-never mind, point is I'm helping you whether you like it or not./

This time Daisuke sighed out loud. He lifted his head and propped it up with his elbow, resting his chin in his palm.

There was a knock on the door and a girl pocked her head in, she was wearing a school uniform, had long brown hair and green eyes. "Um, sir?"

The teacher looked over at the girl standing in the doorway. "Yes, what may I help you with?"

"Mrs. Nakosomi would like to know if we can borrow some books for class today, she forgot to bring hers from home." the girl said shyly, walking up to the teacher's desk.

The teacher gave her a smile, "Of course, it's not like we'll be using them today it seems." He gave a laugh and stood up, placing his paper down."hmm, Mr. Niwa, Mr. Hiwatari, since you two are the only ones not talking and gossiping, why don't you help take the books down to class 4-B."

Daisuke looked up at the sound of his name." Huh, me? Um, okay, sheer." He gave a smile and stood up, walking to the back of the classroom where the books are kept. /Who is helping me carry the books again/

/If you weren't so busy daydreaming, you would know it's creep-boy. I guess this is a perfect opportunity to start with my plans./

/What/ Daisuke blinked and looked over his shoulder to see indeed, Satoshi was getting up too. He quickly looked forward and bent down, picking up about 10 text books. "Good thing their not heavy, huh Hiwatari?" /Just act calm and he won't notice that I'm about to have a melt down. /

"I guess." Satoshi said as he knelt by Daisuke, picking up 11 himself.

The girl walked to the back of the class and smiled at the two boys as they stood up. "Thank-you for helping. We need 27 total, so I'll carry the last 6." She knelt down and picked up 7 books, the stood and smiled again before turning around and walking back out the front door of the classroom, Daisuke and Satoshi in tow.

In was a quiet walk to classroom 4-B, which was surprisingly on the other side of the school almost, and the teacher thanked them when they dropped off the books. This class was relatively quiet besides the occasional 'No-way!' and 'I know!' being shouted out. The quickly left the classroom though when some of Satoshi's fan-girls noticed him and started giggling and blinking flirtatiously at him.

/Don't get too jealous Daisuke, I thought you didn't want to tell him/ Dark snickered after the comment.

Daisuke was doing his best to stay neutral to the whole scene, but he was slightly more noticeable stiff. /I'm not jealous. Why would I be jealous, it's just a few girls trying to get him to notice them. /Satoshi, who was currently walking behind Daisuke, was watching how stiff he was moving. "Is something the matter Daisuke?"

Daisuke practically jumped and yelped when Satoshi said something. "Ah!" This having the result of Daisuke tripping when he spun around, landing on his back and bumping his head. He lay there a few seconds blinking the white spots out of his eyes as he cradled the back of his head with his hand. "That hurt."

Satoshi stopped walking and now stood by Daisuke, looking down at him. "You should be more careful Daisuke, you could seriously hurt yourself. Why are you so jumpy anyways?"

Daisuke blinked and a small blush covered his cheeks as he looked up a Satoshi." Um, I, err, well, nothing. I was just not paying attention to anything." He sat up and dusted off his back, and rubbed his head again. "Ow, that's going to leave a bump." He pressed his fingers slightly to it and flinched, closing his eyes.

Satoshi crouched next to Daisuke and lifted his hand behind Daisuke's head, "Let me see."

Daisuke quickly scooted to the side away from Satoshi and gave a small nervous laugh, "No, its okay, I'll be fine."

"We should still check it, you did fall pretty hard." He didn't stand up, but he did scoot closer to Daisuke, and grabbed hold onto his shoulder to keep him from moving away again. He raised his hand again and ran it through the Daisuke's hair, pressing gently on his skull. Satoshi watched as Daisuke flinched when he ran his hand over the bump. "We should take you to the nurse."

Daisuke shook his head, half to say no, and half to try to forget the feeling of Satoshi running his hand through his hair. "No, I'll be fine, we better get back to class anyways." He pulled away from Satoshi and stood up, trying not to appear as dizzy as he felt. He guessed it worked when Satoshi stood up too and gave a nod before continuing to walk followed by Daisuke.

/Looks like all I have to do is get you to fall around creep-boy to get his attention./

/Dark, that's not funny! That really did hurt, and it's going to be sore later on./ Daisuke rested a hand behind his head over the bump as he followed Satoshi, not paying attention to exactly where they were going.

/But you did like t when he checked out the bump huh? Admit it, you're actually happy that you fell./

/Am not./

/Are too./

/Am not./

/Are too, and you know it./

/I am not happy./

"We're here." Satoshi opened the door and Daisuke walked in, but blinked when he saw a white room, with white beds that have white sheets, and a white desk that currently a lady dressed in a white coat sat at, who looked up when the door opened.

"Yes?" she spoke and looked at Daisuke who was still holding his head, mouth silently open in a soundless what. "Are you okay sweetie?"

"My friend here fell down and bumped his head pretty hard on the ground, we were wondering if you could check on him?" Satoshi said coolly as he stepped up next to Daisuke, placing a hand on his shoulder.

/You should be more aware of what's going on Daisuke./ Dark snickered out as Daisuke was still trying to comprehend that Satoshi tricked him.

"Okay, have a seat on the bed over there please." The nurse spoke as she gestured towards a bed and walked over to a cabinet that had bandages, just in case.

Satoshi nodded and gave Daisuke a slight shove on his shoulder and walked him over, pushing him down into a sitting position onto the bed.

"You...you tricked me?" Daisuke finally found words and looked up at Satoshi who was watching the nurse grab a clipboard and carried it and the bandages over.

/He speaks, wow./

"Here, can you please sign him in while I check on his head?" the nurse gave a smile as she handed Satoshi the clip bored. After Satoshi gave a nod and took it, she turned to Daisuke and smiled at him. She walked to the other side of the bed behind Daisuke, "Tell me where it hurts, okay?" She gentle pressed on Daisuke's head a few times before hitting the bump.

Daisuke flinched, "There."

"Okay." She felt the bump trying not to press to hard, and finished with the exam a few minutes later. "Your okay, it's going to hurt for a while, but you'll live, just ask your mom to kiss it better okay?" The nurse gave a wink and a smile, and then went to return the supplies.

/I know someone who can kiss it better, but it isn't Emiko./ Dark the proceeded to hum the 'k-i-s-s-i-n-g' song.

Daisuke blushed./Shut-UP/

The nurse walked back over with a note in hand, still smiling, "Here you boys go, try not to get hurt again okay sweetie?"

Daisuke gave a nod and took the note while getting up, "okay."

"Good, now run on off back to class, you still have 15 minutes left, but you should still hurry." She said as Satoshi walked towards the door, fallowed by Daisuke.

Daisuke mumbled okay and shut the door behind him as they left the nurses office and made their way to the classroom for real this time. "Why did you trick me Hiwatari?"

"Because you could have gotten seriously hurt from that fall, I surprised you didn't knock yourself out." Satoshi said, still looking forward and walking.

"You didn't have to trick me you know." Daisuke mumbled as he looked down and followed behind Satoshi.

Satoshi slowed down and fell in-step with Daisuke, "If I didn't trick you we would have never known if you were okay, and if you weren't, you could have passed out sometime today."

Daisuke blinked and looked next to him, "Your right, thanks for tricking me I guess." Daisuke closed his eyes and smiled at Satoshi, a small blush barely noticeable on his cheeks.

Satoshi nodded and looked forward, walking next to Daisuke all the way back to the classroom.
