Chapter 2: Confusion.

Daisuke slid his usual shirt on which he'd wear for Physical Class while trying his best to claim his pounding heart. By the time he was finished with the class duties, he'd almost missed Science. Luckily the teacher was in a good mood and therefore let the boy go without any excuse. He'd blame Takeshi if he'd got detention though. The redhead sighed inwardly as he scanned his brain for the flashback earlier that morning. The thought of Satoshi, of all persons asking such a question to him made him suddenly lost in a pool of confusions. He was worried about one main thing though--he hasn't given Satoshi his answer.

"Would you care to be my date?"

"Na--Nani? Hi--Hiwatari-kun, do-shite?"

"I have my reasons."

"...It's about him, isn't it?"

"...Dark will be there...So, it's best to go with you."

"Sou ka na..."

"...You weren't planning to go with someone else, were you?"

"Iya...I guess...But, I don't think the ticket person would be too thrilled to let two guys in at the same time--"

"Leave everything to me."

The teenager broke his thoughts at the little bit of sound indicates a sniggering Dark. Daisuke shook his head sideways a little before he narrowed his eyes and talked to Dark mentally.

\ Dark Mousy! You weren't the least bit of help! \

\\ I believe you told me to shut up? \\

\ Big deal...I was in a crisis! \

\\ Okay, okay...So, I did notice something. \\

\ ...What? \

\\ He was lying about me. \\

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

// You were lying about Dark. //

Satoshi nearly jerked at the mentally voice in his head, but inhaled deeply before he replied back to Krad. The blue-haired boy was careful enough to lock his eyes onto the field in which he was standing on though due to the fact that a soccer game was going on for his Physical Class. His prying eyes were on the look out whenever the ball got close or either very close to him in order to avoid getting hit. Satoshi really didn't have the slightest interest in any Physical Education by the way and would always made himself reserved in a corner, but the teacher insisted because of the lack of students.

/ That doesn't concern you. /

// Have you lost your decent mind? //

/ Stay. Out. Of. This. /

// My, my...Being a little feisty, aren't we? //

/ What do you know? /

// I know everything there is to know about you. For the first fact, you want to catch Dark, but nooo...You persuade that red-haired bastard to go on a date?! Looks like I'm not the only psychopath here. Oh, the psychopath thingy was second fact. //

/ Leave me alone. /

// I will...For now. Just remember, Satoshi...You are mine and will always be. //

The blue-haired boy shrugged slightly and ignored his other half. His icy blue eyes darted across the field where a certain redhead was seen edging himself away as possible from the racket not too far from him. Somehow, Satoshi knew he was having a little chat with Dark and eyed him silently from his position.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

\\ For the tenth time, Daisuke...He deliberately inserted my name into the conversation on purpose. \\

The red-haired boy shrugged again while softly kicking the ground using the head of his sneaker. Usually, Daisuke would join in on the fun during Physical Education, but somehow today, he was just not in the correct mood to do so. He was still confused on the outcome and Dark's explanation wasn't helping him out even a bit.

\ ...How is that gonna help? \

\\ A lot. \\

\ I just can't understand you sometimes. \

\\ Mysteries make the world go round. \\

\ ...That wasn't funny. \

\\ It wasn't supposed to be. \\

\ Very lame, Dark Mousy... \

Daisuke was too deep in his talk with his alter ego that he didn't noticed the ball zooming straight towards him in full speed. Although Dark was the one who noticed though and he yelled frantically in panic to get Daisuke's attention.

\\ KYAAA! DAISUKE! BALL! BALL! COMING! MOVE! RUN! GONNA HIT-- \\

"NIWA-SAN!", a few of the girls yelled in unison.

"E?", the redhead whirled around just in time to witness the soccer ball aiming straight towards him, but a familiar blue-haired boy dashed right in front of Daisuke and managed to kick the ball and it flew across the field and into the goalpost. Silence brew for a moment as everyone were staring wide eyed at Satoshi who had just saved Daisuke from a serious head injury and to the ball which had simply went passed the goalkeeper, indicating that Satoshi had scored a goal and the game was over.

"Wai! Hiwatari-kun! I didn't know you could kick so expertly!", one of his classmates beamed excitedly as she started to ran up to the boy, pushing Daisuke out of her way. Soon, all the girls were huddling around the poor boy who didn't fancy being in the spotlight for a change. Daisuke shrugged as he turned around and headed for the changing room to change into his school uniform before the school bell would ring which means that the day was over. He didn't even had the chance to thank the blue-haired boy for saving his neck due to the fact that the crowd seemed like an endless line of fans waiting for an autograph. On the other hand, Satoshi saw Daisuke left and coldly pushed past the anticipating crowd as he jogged after the redhead, leaving the squealing rabid fan girls far behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Tsukaremashita ne!", Daisuke yawned a little as he walked through the streets towards his home. It had been quite a day, especially for the fact that he hadn't got enough sleep and he'd spend most of the time being extra paranoid as if someone is keeping a close eye on him, twice as much as before. It made him feel very uneasy. Not only that, the redhead kept on looking behind him to check if anyone was following him.

\\ You've been looking back more than I can spot a hot chick, now will you please cut it out? \\

\ I can't help it...I know there's someone there... \

\\ Probably creepy bastard. \\

\ Hiwatari-kun? \

\\ Who else am I talking about? Elvis Presley? \\

\ That's not funny... \

\\ Well, the part where he saved you was. \\

\ Is that a crime? \

\\ No, but he saved you... \\

\ Dark...I'm too tired to hear your jokes, okay? \

\\ Can't blame ya. You've got a looong night to go. \\

\ ...That doesn't mean anything, right? \

\\ Oh, I dunno. Unless you say so. \\

\ Hentai. \

"Niwa!", the voice who called out his name sounded very familiar, but the minute Daisuke spun around, his red ruby eyes only managed to catch sight of a figure pushing him hard. They both toppled onto the hard ground beneath with Daisuke falling hard onto his back, but luckily the stranger used both of his hands to keep him steady and not crushing the fragile figure below him. The redhead squirmed as the stinging pain flowed through his body and shot a perplexed look at the person who had just pushed him roughly all of a sudden. His red ruby eyes caught the sight of soft blue hair which nearly tickled his face, the boy was wearing a pair of spectacles and his gaze met the other's icy cold glare. Daisuke nearly choked.

"Hi--Hiwatari-kun...?", the smaller boy managed out timidly. Satoshi's shadow overlooked him.

"You nearly got knocked down by a car.", the blue-haired boy explained as the sound of a speeding car passed by without stopping or slowing down a single bit. Daisuke gulped silently as he nodded slightly. A nervous chill hit him, especially in the position he was in at the moment.

"Ano...Gomen, ne, Hiwatari-kun? Erm...Could you please get off me?", he asked in a slightly stammered tone. His back didn't hurt that much now, but a slight sting in his right arm made him emit out a small yelp as he tried to move it. Without further hesitation, Satoshi backed off and helped Daisuke up in a sitting position. He gracefully took the smaller boy's hand in his and examined it for a moment while the other boy stared at him with wide red eyes.

\\ Don't do that! \\

// Don't do that! //

Both alter ego's scowled at their hosts in unison, but Daisuke and Satoshi didn't seem to take note of their arguments.

"It's quite a deep scratch, Niwa. Follow me to my place. It's a few blocks away and I could clean the wound for you.", the taller boy suggested as he got up and dust himself off before offering his hand in front of Daisuke who looked as if he were lost in his mind for the fact that he didn't know what to do at all. For a minute there, Daisuke swore that he'd got a glimpse of Satoshi smiling, but he thought maybe his eyes were playing with him and shook his head hard to get the image out of his mind. He got hold of Satoshi's hand and the other boy pulled him up, gently in the process, so that he wouldn't hurt him. The blue-haired boy walked up ahead towards his apartment with a confused Daisuke following close behind.

\\ ...You're getting yourself into a complicated situation, Daisuke... \\
