Chapter Two

Daisuke’s ruby eyes flew open.   He didn’t quite recognize where he was.   All Daisuke did know that this wasn’t his room.   Daisuke rubbed his eyes and sat up to look around.

“Ah you’re awake, Niwa.”

“Huh?”   The voice startled him a little. “W-where am I?”

“You’re in the nurses office dear.   You fainted in class.   We called your mother and she said that it was probably because you didn’t sleep well last night.”   The woman replied.

Daisuke stood up and stretched. “Yeah… that’s what it *is*.   I’m going to go back to class now.”

“Do you think you’re feeling well enough to go?”

Daisuke offered a sweet smile, “Yes.”

“Alright then.   Try to get some more sleep okay?”

“I’ll *try* to.” Daisuke said slipping out of the office.

/That was close./

//…//

/Dark, explain to be *why* you love him./

//I said earlier that you *wouldn’t* understand Daisuke.//

/I would too!/

//…Maybe… but I’m not telling you while you’re in school you might just *faint* again.//

/…/

Daisuke grumbled to himself and continued to walk to the classroom.   School was almost over maybe the rest of the day wouldn’t be so bad.

~*~*~

Daisuke sighed in relief when the final bell of the day rang.   Now he could go home and maybe take a nap if his mother would let him.   Daisuke gathered up his things quickly, he wanted to leave before the Harada twins talked to him.   Not that he didn’t like talking to them… he just wasn’t feeling like it today.   Maybe he should stop by and see Hiwatari-kun since he didn’t show up today.   Maybe he was hurt from last night’s fight.

Daisuke stood up, grabbed his things and headed for the teacher’s desk.   “Sensei would it be alright if I took Hiwatari-kun’s home work to him?”

”Are you sure?   You didn’t look like you were feeling good earlier?”

“I’m alright!”   Daisuke smiled, he probably knew that sweet smile of his could get him anything.

“Okay, here, tell him we all hope to see him in school tomorrow.”

“Hai!   I will!”   Daisuke took the homework and left the classroom.

//Why are you taking his homework to him?   It’s out of the way.//

/Because it gives me an excuse to go over to his house, besides I want to make sure he’s alright./

//I still think it’s because you love him.//

/Daaaaaaaaark!/

Daisuke could almost hear Dark snickering in the back of his mind.

/…jerk./

~*~*~

The blue haired boy stared that the ceiling for what seemed like hours.   The blonde haired one that he wanted to be locked away forever had been unusually silent since last night.   Krad didn’t even try breaking Satoshi while the boy slept like he usually does.   Nor did he try to do so when Satoshi took a shower earlier.   When he was most vulnerable to attacks by the blonde.   Not like he minded it was rather nice, for the first time since Krad appeared he felt almost… normal.   Of course, Satoshi had almost forgotten what it was like to be normal.

Satoshi’s thoughts were pierced when he heard his doorbell ring.   He decided to just ignore it.   He really didn’t feel like talking to anyone today.   That’s why he avoided going to school.   He really didn’t have anyone to force him to go to school anyway.   And besides he really didn’t need it after all, he had been to college.

The doorbell rang through his head again.   Grumbling Satoshi lifted himself up from his halfway comfortable position on his couch and walked over to the door.   Hesitantly he opened the door.

“Niwa-kun?”

“Konnichi wa Hiwatari-kun.   I-” Daisuke looked Satoshi over.   Satoshi hadn’t really bothered to get dressed after his shower.   Satoshi stood before Daisuke in only a pair of comfortable looking house pants and no shirt.   Daisuke felt his cheeks get warm.   “I brought you you’re homework since you weren’t in class today.”

//Watch what you’re thinking there, Daisuke.//

/...huh?/

//I can see some of your thoughts.   You’re right he *does* look sexy like that.//

/Daaaark!/

//What?//

/Shut *up*./

Satoshi tilted his head a little.   “Arigatou Niwa-kun.”

“Huh…?”   Daisuke was so lost with talking with Dark that he didn’t even realized that Satoshi was talking to him let alone the fact that he was staring at Satoshi.

“I said arigatou for bringing my homework to me.”

The blush that had formed across the red head’s cheeks started to become a deeper shade of red.   “No problem Hiwatari-kun.   I better get going before my mom starts to worry about me.   Ja!   See you tomorrow!”   Daisuke took his eyes off Satoshi, turned around and walked off fast.

“Tomorrow Niwa-kun…” Satoshi watched Daisuke walk away until he disappeared.   Satoshi sighed and closed the door quietly.   He walked back over to the couch, carelessly tossing his homework on the coffee table.   Daisuke had appeared to be staring at him.   Not just his face, but also his entire body.   Could it be that Daisuke had some spark of interest for him?   No... that’s wasn’t possible.

“Why do I try to fool myself?”   Satoshi question echoed through his empty apartment.   “Why do I even try to believe that he and I could even have something together.”   But, every time he told himself that he couldn’t help to wonder what it would be like to have that red head as his own.   “Niwa-kun.”

All he could do was pretend.

~*~*~

Daisuke turned on his right side, then his left, and finally settled on his back.   It was great that he wasn’t stuck in the back of Dark’s mind.   It was great that he didn’t have to watch Dark being chased around by Satoshi.   It was great   that he actually got to bed at a decent hour.   Everything was great, he just couldn’t get to sleep.

/Dark are you still up?/

//No I’m not *up*.//

/That’s *not* what I meant, pervert./

//I know I just like tormenting you.//

/Can’t you *ever* be serious?/

//Why?   It would take all the fun out of life.//

/Will you tell me now *why* you love him?/

//…//

/Tell me!/

//…you aren’t going to leave me alone about this are you?//

/No./

Daisuke heard a sigh in the back of his mind.

//Where should I start?//

/The *beginning* is always nice./

//Alright *it’s* complicated and you *may* not understand.//

/Just start./

//Okay, okay!   As you have *probably* figured out this isn’t the first time Krad and I have met.   We have *known* each other for quite some time now.//

/And what do you mean by *known* him?/

//Don’t rush me!   *You* wanted the whole story, now be quiet until I finish.//

/Okay./

//Thank you now a *very* long time ago, Krad and I *were* lovers.   Now I *know* you’re thinking, ‘What happened?’, that I don’t even know myself.   The Niwa bloodline has a period of time when there were only girls.   For about 100 years I was locked away.   When I appeared again everything had changed.   Krad had become obsessed with his other half.   I became *very* jealous and started a fight between us.   This ‘war’ between him and me has been going on for a long time.   Every time he tries to kill me I *somehow* escape, and every time I try to kill him… I just *can’t*.   Now do you understand?//

/Sort of, why don’t you just tell him you still love him?/

//…Because he doesn’t love me anymore, he’s obsessed with that Hikari boy.//

/You never know./

//Daisuke, I *can’t* tell him.//

/Yes you can!/

//Good night, Daisuke.//

/Dark don’t you dare…/

//…zzzz…//

Daisuke sighed and shifted on his side trying to get comfortable.

/Good night, Dark./
