Chapter 2

 

The next morning Daisuke was roughly shaken awake by an excited Dark.

 

“Dark-kun?” Realizing the older boy was real and in a separate body Daisuke fell off the top bunk.

 

Violet blinked in surprise, “Daijoubu ka?”

 

“Hai hai.” As happy as we was to see his love in a separate body, he was scared and worried as well. This meant that the dream he had wasn't completely just a dream.

 

The phantom thief frowned, “You're going to be late for school if you don't get a move on it.”

 

Daisuke's cinnamon orbs widened as he jumped up from the floor. Dark raised an eyebrow and watched in amusement as the red-head dashed about the room attempting to piece together his school uniform.

 

“Dai… Dai!”

 

Stopping in mid-stripping mode Daisuke looked to his former body companion, “Eh?”

 

“I was only teasing; you still have another hour…”

 

Truth be told, Dark had woken the boy an hour and twenty minutes before school was scheduled to commence.

 

“That was mean Dark-kun.” The red head pouted.

 

Violet eyes softened at the adorable expression, “Yeah yeah.” He stated as he ruffled the younger boys bed rumpled hair.

 

“Cut it out.” The shorter one whined.

 

“Baby… Ano, this is strange though. How did I get my own body? I thought once you and Riku-chan discovered your mutual feelings I would disappear.”

 

“I… we…” Daisuke avoided Dark's eyes, “I need to get a shower.”

 

Dark blinked; did Daisuke just blow him off? “Daisuke…?”

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

`What do I tell him? If I tell him about my dream it'll bring up questions and then he'll know how I feel and mock me for it… Should I tell him about Riku? What if we separated just so he could leave me? I don't want to lose him, but I want them to be happy…' Daisuke shrank to the floor of the shower as he wrapped his arms around himself tightly, trembling with the effort to hold back his tears.

 

“Daisuke…? If you don't hurry you won't get breakfast.” The red-head heard his former companion call through the door.

 

Deciding to pass on breakfast he sat, sniffling and attempting to absorb the scolding water into his now cold body.

 

`Crying? I thought you'd be happy to have your body back to yourself' The voice of the man in his `dream' echoed through hid mind.

 

“What? Who said that?”

 

`I'm hurt you don't remember.'

 

“But I thought… You can converse in my thoughts?” He was so confused, how was it that man still had a presence in the conscience realm?

 

`Yes, my dear boy, I can hear you and talk to you whenever I wish, though it's not as strong as I had hoped. I can see everything that happens through you, otherwise how would I know if you and Dark get together?'

 

Daisuke blinked, the man had a point.

 

The red head jumped as a loud bang resounded throughout the bathroom.

 

“Daisuke, if you don't get out here in the next five minutes you really will be late for school!” Dark shouted from the opposite side of the door.

 

`Ta ta for now, my precious little one.' The man's eerie voice still maintained a presence in his baffled thoughts as he sighed and turned off the water.

 

“Hai. Dark-san.” He whispered.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

“Ne… Daisuke-kun, you look rather pale, you should see the nurse.” Riku stated as she walked in stride with her friend.

 

“I'm fine Riku-san, really. I just had a really weird dream last night.”

 

“Ah, what was it about?”

 

“Huh? Oh, it's not important.” He said with a fake smile on his face as he scratched the back of his head, “It was just a dream, ne? So what are you up to this afternoon?”

 

“Well~ I have a track meet to attend. What about you?”

 

“Me? I'm not sure, I guess I'll figure it out when the final bell rings.”

 

“Daisuke-kun~!”

 

“Yah~!” The red head promptly fell to the floor as he was tackled by the hyperactive twin as she came racing down in the hall baring, in her mind, wonderful news.

 

“Guess what! Guess what! Guess what!”

 

“Risa-chan, you're crushing him.” Riku stated as she blinked blankly at her sugar-high twin.

 

“Oh! So sorry, Daisuke-kun.” She hastily stood from her spot on Daisuke's gut and helped him to his feet, “I'm so excited!” She exclaimed with stars in her eyes.

 

The two red heads looked at one another then back to Risa.

 

“Um… Risa? What happened?”

 

“Dark is going to make another appearance tonight! He hasn't shown for two weeks now, and he's going to be at that new French restaurant tonight!” She squealed happily, hands clasped together at her bosom as she twirled around and gave a girly wistful sigh.

 

“Ne? Why is he going there?”

 

“I dunno, something about a statue display thingy or something.” She commented off hand, “But what does it matter, it sounds so romantic, a French restaurant.” Another wistful sigh.

 

“Um…” The two sweat dropped.

 

“We're going to be late for class, Risa-chan. We should hurry so we don't get a detention.

 

“Yeah…” That said Riku and Daisuke each took one of the starry-eyed girls arms and hauled her off to class.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

Later that night Daisuke lay curled in his bed. His stomached twisted into knots as he thought about ways of breaking the news to Dark that he had feelings for him. He knew rejection was inevitable, and therefore did not want to face it. But he had to do something, as much as it would hurt to be shot down by Dark the thought of that man in his dream was even more frightening.

 

`I'm hurt that you'd think that way.' He heard a sulking voice mutter in his thoughts, `but even so, tick-tock, the clocking is ticking.'

 

As those words echoed Daisuke felt a sharp pain course through his body, but just as fast as it had hit him it was gone. The knots in his stomach twisted painfully and he stumbled out of bed toward the bathroom. Lifting the lid to the toilet he fell to his knees and emptied his stomach of all its contents.

 

A/N: I'm sorry for the long wait, I really didn't mean for it to take so long ::sigh:: I'll try to have the third chapter out sooner, considering I do have a little time off of work this week. And I'm sorry this chapter was kind of short, and the lack of Dark's presence. He'll play a greater role as the story progresses… Well of course he will, he's one of the main characters in it ^.^
