Thank you for the review. It made me really happy. The reviewers and readers rock! Thank you again!

Please review!


Dark leaned closer and I felt my face flame up as he extended his hand and said. "Hi I am Dark nice to meet you Niwa-kun." He kept his knee weakening smile on his face.

"Hi you can just call me Daisuke." I shook his hand and our eyes met it was like he could read every thought that I had about him. Our moment was interrupted by Risa.

"Hello Dark I am Risa and this my sister Riku," Risa indicated to the equally pretty girl behind her. Dark let go of my hand in what I like to think was a rather reluctant manner.

"Nice to meet you beautiful ladies," Risa squealed in delight and Riku didn’t look impressed at all. Dark didn’t seem affected by either of their attitudes. "Dai-chan will you show me to my classes during lunch?" I looked at Dark like I had just swallowed a bug.

"Dai-chan?" I squeaked out. My heart was pounding in my ears at this moment.

"Yeah I think it fit’s an adorable guy like you," Dark’s face transformed to make his features more godly if that’s even possible. "I hope it’s okay if I call you that."

"No, no that’s fine. It’s just my mom is usually the only one that calls me that."

"Good then I have my own special name that no else get’s to call you." At this point Dark turned to take notes. I was left feeling very bewildered. Was he flirting with me? My mind wouldn’t let that thought last long though.

Why would he interested in me? He’s probably a ladies man. Then why did our hands linger in one another’s? There are to many questions floating through my mind. I risk a glance at Dark and he’s looking at me. I feel my breathe catch in my throat. He catches me looking at him and just smiles. Class continues like this for the rest of the time. I get caught looking and Dark doesn’t react with anything other than a smile. He seems to like me. I don’t think I am confusing this with anything else. Class ends with me being caught again. I tried desperately not look at him, but it’s like a magnetic pull that keeps me drawn to him. We both now had a free period that allowed us to hang out for a while. Our free period is luckily before lunch and I am starving. Dark was leaning against his locker with all the confidence in the world. I wonder how he was able to pull of the confidence so easily. I looked on mesmerized by the person that was in front of me.

"Hey Dai-chan your now my own personal guide. Show me what this place has to offer. And where are the gorgeous people?" My heart fell in to the pit of my stomach. He wants to find beautiful girls not some one like me. I lowered my gaze from his piercing one.

"Well I’ll have to show at lunch or after school." I say in a sad tone. Not even knowing what I was doing.

"Dai-chan are you okay?" Dark leaned down and gave me a small smile that lit up his face. Making me forget my temporary sadness.

"I am fine don’t worry about..." But before I could finish I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Daisuke how are you?" Satoshi said from behind me. I turned around to the blunnette that had been gone for over a month. I let a big grin grace my face.

"Satoshi where have you been? I am doing good. I was just getting ready to show our new class mate Dark around." I beamed at Dark and for some reason he and Satoshi looked like they were glaring at each other. You could cut the tension with a knife. I didn’t want to move for fear that I might get hit in the cross fire. "Dark this is Satoshi, Satoshi this is Dark." I introduced them and waited for a battle that never came. They looked at each other and gave a head nod. I am not sure if it was to show if they accepted each other or if it was something else all together. But I still think that was hella weird. I turned back to Satoshi hoping to get an answer to my earlier question.

"Daisuke I’ll see you later. I have to go get my make up work from the teachers. Sayonarra!" Satoshi turned sharply on his heels. It looked like his back was connected to a rod with all the tension he was carrying.

"Who was that?" Dark asked beside me. He was wearing a slight frown. I thought that he looked kind of cute with it.

"Oh, that was my friend Satoshi. He’s been a gone for over a month." I look at Dark and he was still wearing a frown. He looked down at me and I blushed from embarrassment at getting caught... again!

"Oh! Well lets go Dai-chan." Dark grabs my hand and started pulling me through the school.

"Hey! Wait!" I said trying to get Dark’s attention. He looked over his shoulder and gave a me a mischievous smile. He reminded me of a fae that was ready to do something naughty. My face started to heat up with the images that flooded my head like a broken dam. "I am suppose to be showing you around school."

"Come on Dai-chan. I’ll take you to a place that resembles heaven on earth."

What’s that suppose to mean? I felt the thrum of excitement course through my body. When we arrived at our destination I was completely and utterly disappointed. "This is suppose to be heaven on earth?" I say a little irritated from having my arm almost yanked off to arrive at the cafeteria.

"Yep, I am starving. I didn’t get to eat breakfast this morning."

"Dark!" I drawled out his name.

"What?! Please Dai-chan!" He gave me puppy dog eyes and a pout with his luscious lips. That you just want to nip and kiss and... probably shouldn’t be thinking about that right now. I can imagine that I am drooling at this point. I shake myself back to reality and the gorgeous man in front of me.

"Fine," I say exasperated. Just because he’s an earthly God doesn’t mean that you can’t get fed up with him.

"Thank you Dai-chan!" Dark flung his well toned arms around me and hugged me fiercely. All the breathe that I had in my body left in a big whoosh. It wasn’t from being hugged to tightly either. It was from how I felt in that moment. I felt safe, protected, and oddly enough loved. I don’t know how that can be. I barely met the guy a little over a few hours ago. I felt complete. Like I had been missing a part of myself I couldn’t find and didn’t know was missing until now. After my stunned shock was gone. I gave in on impulse and hugged Dark back. I was warm in his arms. I let myself get washed away with the way I was feeling. But time can’t stand still. It keeps moving on no matter what. The hug ended way to soon for my taste. I now felt a piece was missing from myself and Dark was the key to unlock it. I was certain Dark himself was what was missing from my life.

I looked up at Dark and his eyes had gone a shade darker. He leaned down and I thought he was going to kiss me when all of a sudden Risa, Riku, and Satoshi showed up. I was no longer looking at Dark. I was ready to tell them to go away so I could be left alone with Dark. He greeted Risa and Riku with warmth and kindness. And he gave Satoshi the cold shoulder. Sheesh I wonder why they don’t like each other?

"Daisuke could I barrow your notes from our classes?" Satoshi asked.

"Yeah sure I’ll give them to you after school." I was about to go over to stand next to Dark when Satoshi said.

"Could you lend them to me now? I just came by today to get my assignments and notes then go home to work on something’s." Out of the corner of my eye I could see Dark give Satoshi a curios look, but said nothing. "I am sure Risa and Riku could show Dark around for a while."

"Well I am the one..."

"Of course we can. Come on Dark lets go." Risa latched on to Dark. Making her resemble a leech looking for fresh blood. Riku grimaced slightly, but didn’t comment.

"I actually want to go with Dai-chan." Dark said. I felt my heart skip a beat with happiness.

"I want to show Dark around." Everyone looked at me strangely. I don’t usually say what I want. I normally go with the flow of things. Dark had a pleading look that practically screamed ‘Rescue me.’ I boldly grab Dark’s hand and successfully get him out of Risa’s clutches.

"Can I bring the notes to your house tonight Satoshi?" I think I just saw Satoshi smirk. He pushed up his glasses. For a moment there was a blinding white glint over them covering his blue eyes.

"That would be fine Daisuke." Satoshi said goodbye to everyone and left the cafeteria.

"I am going with you!" Dark announced. His hand still in mine. I didn’t let go. Who know’s when Risa might attach herself to him again.

"What?! Why?!" I sounded kind of mad, but I was actually thrilled that Dark wanted to come with me.

"I don’t know about that guy. I am going to make sure that you are safe." I rolled my eyes.

"Dark, Satoshi is a really good guy." I tried to argue, but he wouldn’t have any of it.

"I am still going with you. And maybe I could come over for dinner."

"If you really want to." Dark has so many faces. That I had a physical longing to be able to see each and everyone of them.

"We’re going to go get lunch Daisuke," Riku said.

"Okay, we’ll meet up with you later."

"Yay! Dark’s having lunch with us." Risa hollered through the cafeteria. I didn’t notice the steady flow of the student body in the cafeteria until now.
