(Daisuke's POV)

"My feet ache," and they really did. Who would think that Riku weighed so much?!


After the fireworks' display at the Eiffel Tower, it just so happened that our tour bus broke down, so we all ended up walking back! And that's not even the worst part. Because Satoshi and I had run off together, the twins made us carry them all the way back for "ditching" them. But I don't regret it one bit. I treasured every blissful moment I shared with Satoshi.

I stood at the foot of the bed, "So tired!" And I collapsed onto the bed.


"So am I...," Satoshi yawned, then collapsed next to me.


"No shower tonight?" I asked while turning my head.


"I'd rather take a bath, but unfortunately there isn't one."


I shrugged my shoulders. I could take a shower tomorrow anyways… and then again, that meant that I would have to get up early, and I hated to wake up early. Oh, well. I slid out of my clothes, except for my boxers, and tossed them to the side. I then stretched out to enjoy cool breeze coming from the window against my skin. "No PJs tonight?"


"It's too hot!" I whined.


"I guess you're right," I gaped as Satoshi also slid out of his clothes, and tossed them onto the floor.


He pulled himself off the bed, turned off the light, and then returned to lie be my side. I turned my head to see him looking right back at me. I was once again looking into those ice blue ponds for eyes. I wonder how many times Risa and Satoshi shared moments like this earlier today? Or if they even did. I didn't know why he even agreed to be her boyfriend. I just wanted to die when he said 'I'll be your boyfriend'. What on earth could Satoshi have been thinking? Even worse, what was Krad thinking?! He must have been cursing the whole day. But Satoshi seems so relaxed. Could he really be happy with Risa? "Satoshi...," I whispered.


Partly closing his eyes, I could feel his touch....I could feel his thumb caressing my cheek. I felt so at peace. "I'm here… Daisuke."



I gently smiled at him. Yes, I knew he was there and that it was his thumb that was softly caressing my cheek… putting me at ease. I whisper back, "Yes, …I know."


When I thought Satoshi would break away from his touches, I felt his other hand easily snake its way under my waist to tug me closer. Now from this close angle, it looks like the moon's light is just barely scraping over him, hitting little rays of light against my face. But not even the shadows could hide his smile. (Hmm, this seems like a romantic moment.)

 

Just a little, now that we didn't have to worry about any girlfriends. (And I thought you were loyal to your bitch. Hmm, guess I was wrong. No dog ever has just one bitch. There always has to be a side dish... or two.)

 

Don't call Satoshi a bitch! He's....

 

(What? Then you're his bitch?! Oh, Daisuke! Don't tell me you're the feminine one in this relationship!)

 

Stop harassing me! You know that I would gladly be his uke if we were ever to…

 

(Don't say it! I don't wanna know! Ugh, gross! Daisuke! You are such a pervert!)

 

I didn't mean it like that! Just go! You're getting me angry, and I'm afraid that it's gonna show up on my face!

 

(Fine! I'll go! Man, Daisuke has a bitchy temper today.)

 

Clearing my mind of Dark, finally, I gave Satoshi my undivided attention. He gave me a questionable look, as if he knew that I was talking to Dark about something. "I was talking to Dark, if that's what you were wondering."


He smiled again, leaned forwards, and my heart began to race, for I thought he was finally gonna kiss me, but instead, he touched his forehead to mine. Although he didn't kiss me, my heart's pace continued to accelerate as he slowly closed his eyes. After a few seconds, I felt his hair fall onto my face, tickling me. I tried not to laugh, but enjoy his close company. I wonder what anyone would say if they were ever to catch me and Satoshi like this: me in his arms, forehead touching, his fallen hair resting on my face. I wouldn't care actually, just as long as I had him. I wished that time would just stop for a moment, so I could be with him for a while longer. "Since the tour bus is dead, where did the teacher say that we were..."


"Shhh...Don't talk," he hushed my voice by pressing his finger to my lips. I turned red in reaction to his soft finger. I couldn't help it.


I smirked with his finger still lingering on my lips, then grasped his shoulders, and forced him onto his back side with my body laying over him. I did it all in a blink of an eye, that he was staring wide eye at me. I guess he really didn't expect that, and well, I don't even know why I did that. I hope he doesn't think that I'm being weird. "You scared me… Daisuke."

"Sorry, Satoshi," I grinned, although I really didn't mean to scare him.


He continued to give me this look. What? Did he not like to be on the bottom? Well, if he wanted to change it, I knew that he could easily flip me onto my back. I leaned forwards, I couldn't kiss him, but I did as he did to me. I touched our foreheads together, and I shifted my body so that he was supporting my weight. "Whoa! Daisuke."


"What? I'm not heavy," and I knew for a fact that I wasn't.


"Surprisingly you aren't, for a glutton."


"What?! I'm not!"


He chuckled. Did he like teasing me? "Yes you are," he surprised me by giving me another Eskimo kiss, and then he led my head to the crook of his head. I was still stunned by his every movement since he turned off the lights. Strange things happen in the dark of the night, but I wasn't complaining. In fact, I was almost panting from near excitement. But who wouldn't if one was lying on the bare chest of the man they loved, with their head resting in the crook of his neck, and his arms wrapped around their bare back.



I could have fallen asleep to this, but I still wanted to ask this question, "Satoshi," it felt so good to call him by his first name for a change, "What's on tomorrow's schedule?"


He turned his head, and because he was so close to me, I could feel his warm breath against my ear, and he whispered, "Nothing..."


"It's a free day?"


"Shhh, yes. Now, go to sleep, Daisuke."


The warmth of our bodies contradicted the cool breeze that we relied on to cool us, but it felt so good to lay in his arms like this, that I knew that he fell asleep quickly. I waited for a while until I heard his gentle breathing in a steady pace, then I whispered in his ear, even if I wasn't meant to be heard, something that I've been meaning to tell him, "Satoshi, let's stay together always."


DAISUKENIWADAISUKENIWADAISUKENIWA


I laid on my towel-my only refuge from the burning sand-and under Satoshi's umbrella, to hide my delicate skin from the scorching sun. Lying next to me was Satoshi, and I guess an umbrella wasn't enough for him, because he had a grass hat covering his face. I thought he looked silly, and I couldn't help but giggle. Almost the entire school was down here playing in either the sand or water, which ever they preferred; even the Harada's. "Daisuke!" Riku called, "Wanna help me look for some shells by the waves?"


No. I didn't want to; because that meant that I was gonna burn my feet on the scorching sand. I knew for a fact that if Risa was asking Satoshi, he would just ignore her, like he was ignoring me at the moment. Or maybe he just fell asleep. Hmm, it's kinda hard to tell. Perhaps he really did fall asleep. I sighed. If I didn't go with Riku, then she'd complain until I did. "Ok!"


I stretched from my comfortable, lazy position, and followed down to the shore, burning my poor feet along the way. Hot, hot, hot, hot! I nearly skipped the whole way there! I didn't know how Riku could walk on the burning sand with her bare feet! She must have rocks for feet!


Finally, I made it to the wet sand, where the waves washed over my feet, and up to my ankles. It felt good, but it was kinda cold. "How's the water, Daisuke?"


"It's cold."


"Don't complain. Let's go swimming."


"Wait, I thought you wanted to look for some shells!"


"I did, but I think I prefer the ones under the water."


Great...I set my towel down by the rocks, and then I grabbed my goggles. As I approached the place where Riku was waiting for me, Satoshi appeared outta nowhere! "Where are you going?"


I was so glad he asked. "I'm going swimming to hunt for some shells. Wanna come?" Please say yes!


"Sure."


Yes! Without hesitation, I tugged on his hanging hand, and led him to the waves. As we walked further into the water, Riku came up from behind us, and asked, "What's he doing here?"


"He wants to help look for shells too."


"You're inviting my sister's boyfriend to swim?"


That's gotta be the worse title ever given to Satoshi! "Please."


"Hmmp, fine," she dived into the water, and Satoshi and I followed.


The water wasn't as clear as I hoped, and there weren't really any live fish, but it was fun to swim in nonetheless. As Riku and Satoshi continued to search for shells, the only thing I was eyeing was Satoshi. I rarely see him swim, but he's almost as graceful as a seal, in the way he surfaces and dives, then searches the sand for the item of chose. He was a good piece of eye candy. "Hwuhw?"


Something tugged on my arm, and I was forced to surface. I gasped for air. I then turn to look, and only see Riku. Thank goodness. I thought it was shark. For once in my life I was relieved to see her. "What is it?"

"Don't play dumb with me. Why did you invite Satoshi?"


"He's my friend. What's with you?"


"Just a friend?" What did she mean by that?


"Ok. He's a special friend."


"I know, but I'm your girlfriend, yet you continue to give him more attention than me." Now, I wonder why? Hmm, maybe that's because I can't stand Riku anymore! And Satoshi was the man of my dreams! He's the light in the darkness. We're like the yin and the yang. We couldn't be apart, well, at least I couldn't stand to be apart from him. He completes me. Riku was just like an imbalance between us. (Now, Daisuke, why don't you say all those things to her face?)

 

Because that's not in my character. Plus, she would probably punch my lights out, and leave me to drown.

 

(Then Satoshi would come and rescue you. And if he doesn't, then you know I'm always here for you.)

 

"I'm only spending more time with him, because he's....he's....."



"He's..?"


"Because he's really cool to hang out with."


"And are you implying that I'm not?!"


"No, it's not like that, (yes it is) it's just-"


"Just what?! We're in France! This is suppose to be a romantic trip for us, and you're wasting it all with your guy friend?!"



Yes, I know. It's supposed to be a romantic trip, and I've had a few romantic moments with the love of my life, but I want more....I want to...to...kiss him. The moment that Risa kissed him is still playing in my mind, and if I couldn't die, I wanted to cry! I know that I'm still going out with Riku, but I wanted to break up, so that I that didn't feel anymore guilt. And, once I did that, I wanted to tell Satoshi that I loved him so that he'll stop teasing me, and kiss me! I only have eight days to make this all happen. "Are you lost in your thoughts again, Daisuke?"


I shook my head, even if I knew I was... again. I just had my heart set on being with Satoshi. Not Riku, "Not really, but I was....um," how do you plan for breaking up? "That's is...um..."


Satoshi suddenly popped his head outta the water, but he was panting heavily. "Get back to the shore now!"


"Why?" Riku asked.


"There's a shark not a hundred feet from us!"


Riku didn't need to be told twice. She swam off leaving us alone, and as soon as I was about to follow her, Satoshi tugged me beneath the water. I looked around to see if I could stop the shark, and I did! It was just a few meters away! What could Satoshi be thinking swimming in waters with a shark?! I swam closer to Satoshi, and after several seconds, we surfaced. "What were you thinking swimming while a shark was a few meters away?!"


"Don't worry. That shark wasn't real. It's was an illusion that I created to scare Riku away."


I knew Satoshi had to be up to something. I sighed. Oh, well. Satoshi tugged me underwater again, and I followed. This time when we surfaced, we were by an empty shore. It took me a while to figure it out, but then I realized that it the same place that Satoshi and I ate our ice-cream. I couldn't forget that "sexy" little incidence, nor the way his tongue played with my fingers. "Satoshi, why are we here?"


"Riku was driving me insane, and I could tell it's the same story for you."



Satoshi really does notice right about everything. (Except for all those inklings of love.)

 

What do you mean by that, Dark? (Come on! Even I notice it! You hug him, you shower with him, you sleep with him, and you guys come so close to kissing sometimes that even I want to pull my hairs out! I'm just waiting for some “accident” to happen to set everything in the right order.)

 

Are you saying that we're truly meant for each other? (Do you want me to be that blunt?! Daisuke, what would happen if there is no darkness to calm the light? What if there was no heat to warm the cold? One cannot be without the other.)

 

"Having another private conversation with Dark?"


"Yeah. How do you know?"


"You looked as if you were in deep thought. But that's ok. Krad was lecturing me too."


"Really?" Krad lecturing Satoshi, "About what?"


"Nothing important. And you?"


I giggled a bit, "It's a secret," I winked, and I knew that made him suspicious. Dark has a habit of always speaking his mind, and I'm sure that Satoshi knew that.


(Satoshi's POV)


'Nothing important', is what I said, while what Krad was talking to me about was important. Krad was not just lecturing me, but threatening me that if I didn't confess to Daisuke soon, he'll do it for me, and I didn't want Daisuke to find out that way.

 

I will tell him, but no one can rush me into these things. I become very shy when it comes to expressing my true emotions, and that's why I was taking so long.

 

Daisuke smiled at me before he sat down on the sand next to me. It's hard to find words to express what he really reminds me of, but in the best description, he reminds me of a living human torch with his fiery, red hair, and those ruby eyes. I knew Krad was fed up with all my thoughts, but how could I stop thinking about the one that makes my heart ache? "Sit down, Satoshi."


I sat down, looking straight ahead and over the blue sea, but then I felt a hand under my chin, pulling me to look to my left. So I did. But instead of seeing a cheerful Daisuke, I saw him on the verge of tears. "Daisuke, what's wrong?"


"I don't want to worry you with my problems, Satoshi."


"But I'll worry even more if you don't tell me," I rested my hand on his cheeks to indicate that I'm here for him.


"There's something I have to do, but I don't know how."


Something he had to do? What was it that he must do that was bring him to such tears; hiding that ever glowing shine in his eyes? "I'm here for you, Daisuke."


He finally released his tears. Great. Now what did I do? "Thank you, Satoshi."


On my shoulder he cried, and I knew I was blushing; shaking as he wrapped his arms around me. What was it that he must do that was making him cry so much? I hated to see him in such a state of depression. I could too feel the angst surrounding him.



(Daisuke's POV)



When I had finally finished my little crying scene, which was totally embarrassing, in front of Satoshi, he helped me back to our room, where he tried to comfort me. He then ran some errands for me, like running to the closest French market to see if they had anything that he would consider edible, and brought me back some ice-cream. When he returned, he gave me the ice-cream, and even gave me a shoulder rub, and when I still didn't seem to cheer up, he held me. After that, he rocked me back and forth like I was a little baby. Eventually, I exhausted the poor bluenet, and so he fell asleep.


I feel so bad for wearing him out, but if he didn't take a late afternoon nap, then I wouldn't be able to do what I need to do, because I knew that he wouldn't leave my side after what happened earlier. I held his hands close to my chest as I looked down at my angel. “I'm sorry for leaving you here alone, but there's something I have to do.” I looked out my window, and through the red light of the setting sun, I saw Riku taking a stroll on the beach. Bring Satoshi's hands to my lips I kissed them softly for a short moment. “I'm doing this for us, or at least, that's what I've made myself to believe.” But there was still that nerve aggravating question: would Satoshi ever take my hand? (I still don't quite understand why you are doing this, Daisuke. I know that Riku is a bit annoying)

 

A bit annoying?!

 

(Ok, so she's really annoying, but you don't know how this will all turn out. You don't know whether or not Satoshi will return your affections or reject you. Why don't you wait a little longer?)

 

I thought you wanted me to confess to Satoshi.

 

(I did, but I never said that he'd return your affection.)

 

It doesn't matter, just as long as I didn't have to stay loyal to Riku.


I snuck out of the room with ease, after all, sneaking around was my specialty! Hmm…I could've ravished Satoshi in his sleep... taking what I felt belonged to me, but I'm sure that he would've beaten me up, and then I would've felt guilty for cheating on Riku. Once I had snuck out of the hotel, I hustled down to the beach, where I found Riku sitting on the rocks, "Riku?"


She quickly turned her head as if caught by surprise, "Daisuke? What are you doing here?" she whispered.


"I came to see you, is that so wrong?"


"Daisuke...," she smiled, then motioned for me to come closer.


(Author's POV)



Daisuke, without hesitations, approached Riku's side, sat down, and surprised her by taking her hand in his. "Daisuke?" Riku couldn't hold back her bright blush.


"Riku, there is a lot we need to discuss."


Back in the room, a strong breeze whirled itself in, and brushed against Satoshi's sleeping body, causing him to shiver. Shifting his body so he was lying on his left side, he reached out to find his heat supplier, but when he didn't find him, he opened his eyes to an empty bed, "Daisuke?"


Satoshi called for Daisuke, and when he didn't respond, Satoshi immediately got up to search the room for his little Daisuke, but he was no where to be found. "Daisuke, where did you go?"


Devastated about the sudden absence of his precious angel who had spoiled him every night with his warmth, he knew that he couldn't rest without him. Looking out from the balcony to see if he could spot him, he was nearly shattered when had finally caught sight of Daisuke, but with Riku! (It seems that Daisuke has missed his girlfriend. Especially since you've been trying to keep him all to yourself.)

 

Satoshi looked away, ignoring what Krad had said. He weaved his fingers through his bangs, trying to hold back what was ready to burst. (Why don't we take a closer look, Satoshi?) Satoshi shook his head. (Either you do this, or I'll force you to.)


Riku placed her other hand against Daisuke's cheek, "Daisuke, I do. I really do love you. Why do you keep asking?"


"Because....I..."


"Please, don't doubt our relationship! Everything is gonna work out just fine in the end, you'll see!" Riku forcefully pulled Daisuke into a tight embrace, "Just give it more time."


Ignoring Satoshi's pleas, Krad had forced Satoshi to come down to take a closer look, despite his fears to see it all replay before his eyes. Hiding behind the bushes, Satoshi peaked out through a small opening to catch Riku and Daisuke in a tight embrace, "Why did you make me come out here, Krad? To make me suffer more than I already have?"


(Be patient and watch.) Satoshi continued to watch what seemed to be a happy couple, until Riku pulled her body away just enough to look Daisuke in the eyes. (Keep watching Satoshi.) Satoshi found himself staring into a replayed moment as Riku leaned forwards, catching Daisuke's lips in her own. Gaping at the scene, Satoshi could feel his heart falling down and down until it hit rock bottom, shattering into thousands of pieces that could never again come together. He didn't know what to feel anymore after that. Everything felt so confusing; all leaving him in a complete state of dilemma. (If mistakes are not corrected by the right actions, then history shall repeat itself. If you were to have confessed earlier than this, then this would have been avoided.) "Why are you doing this to me, …Krad?"



Becoming numb with every second longer that he was there, Satoshi finally fled from the scene. Not even tears could fall from his blank eyes, "Have I've become so cold that I can't feel anymore pain? Is that why there is no room for me in your heart…, Daisuke?"



(Daisuke's POV)


Dark, what have I done? (You made out with Riku, remember?) I was supposed to break it off! Not deepen it! (Are you blaming it on me?!) No, I'm not. I'll just have to do it tomorrow.

 

I slipped the card into the card slider, and the door clicked open.


CLICK


I walked inside, and closed the door after I entered. I really wanted to be with Satoshi again, as I was last night. I walked towards the bed to find that Satoshi had cuddled up against the edge of the bed with his pillow in his arms. I removed all my clothing down to my boxers, then climbed in next to him. I reached out to touch him, but he slapped my hand away! "What's wrong?!"


"Stay away from me!"


"Satoshi? What's wrong?"


"Just....just leave me alone."


I waited for a moment for Satoshi to lower his guard, then I wrapped my arms around his body. I could feel him trying to fight me off, but I held onto him tighter. I needed to feel his warm body against mine, I needed him to hold me; he's spoiled me with such attention that I needed him even more for every second that he showered me with care. He's done this for days now, so why is he suddenly trying to shove me off? "Why are you trying to fight me off?!"


"Get away from me, Daisuke!"


"I'll never let go of you, Satoshi!"


"Damn it, Daisuke!"


"Stop struggling or you'll hurt me!"


Satoshi finally managed to settle down. "Please, let go me, please, …hold me tighter."



Satoshi....! I allowed him to burry his face in the crook of my neck, and when I thought that everything was gonna be ok, I heard him sniffing. I pulled away from Satoshi to look into the blue ponds that began to leak. "You're crying!"


I must have made him feel uncomfortable, because he then shut his eyes, concealing his sapphires from my eyes. "Satoshi, what happened?"


"I don't want to talk about it."


His voice was so broken. "Was it Risa?"


"No, Daisuke," he pulled away from me, and laid down, "It has nothing to do with her."


"Krad, then?"


"No."


His voice grew faint, then I watched as he hushed himself to sleep. Was it me, then?


A/N: Ok! That's it for Chapter six. Please review.
