Chapter 1

Longing

((Satoshi's POV))

I came out of my half-consciousness. Though I was happier now that Krad was gone, I felt sort of empty. It was strange, really. One day, he had just disappeared, and he hadn't invaded my mind since. Had I won? Or was he simply trying to hurt me further?

I walked downstairs, picked up a small bag, and went outside. I walked to school, not too slow, not too fast. I didn't need to go to school. I had a certificate of highest honors from university, but there was one thing that school had that was no where else.

There wasn't anything too special about him. Maybe his stupidity was higher than any other person's, and perhaps his look of confusion was endearing, but when I could have any girl in the building or almost any girl out of it, I fell for him. Another guy.

Daisuke Niwa: my first and only crush. He was scared of me. Sometimes he referred to an alternate identity, but I was the only one with that problem, right? Well, he was a strange one, alright. Not another like him. That might be the reason I liked him. But I always told myself it was more than that. I didn't know what that 'more' might be, but it didn't matter, I loved him anyway.

I turned the corner and someone ran into me. I backed up a step and then glared at whoever it was. He looked up.

"Ah." he was just as startled as I was. "Gomen, Hiwatari-kun!" he said. Niwa-kun! "I'm going to be late again…" he murmured as he rushed off. I checked my watch. There were still seven minutes and twelve seconds until class started. His watch was fast. I resolved to tell him so in class.

In class, I sat down. I watched him. I did that a lot. He babbled embarrassedly as Ritsuko Fukuda said something flirty. I remembered the time Dark had been disguised as Niwa. This crush probably had something to do with that.

My determination to arrest Dark increased. He was always causing trouble, and it seemed like he found a way to get Niwa involved with a lot of it.

The teacher came in, and I continued to stare at Niwa while also answering the occasional questions and filling out worksheets that took Niwa a lot longer than me. It was nice to watch him, but I wanted more. I wanted all of him. But his innocence was so perfect, I could never ruin it. Never, unless he let me.

At lunch, I climbed to the roof, where I ate a roll. I got the rolls from the teachers lounge. They didn't notice: one roll wasn't a bid deal.

As I sat, I nibbled my roll slowly. I had an hour, so I might as well use all of it. Niwa came up to join me.

"Hi, Hiwatari-kun!" he yelled. He was so loud. I wondered again why I liked him so much. He would be annoying, if his every movement wasn't logged under precious memories in my mind.

"Hello, Niwa-kun." He was a strange one. Sometimes he acted as if we were friends, and sometimes he was scared of me. I wished I could figure out what was going on in his mind.

"Why don't you ever eat anything interesting?"

"Rolls are good."

"You should eat something else, every once in a while!"

"I have something else for dinner."

"Is it something big?"

"No."

"You're going to starve to death! You should eat something bigger!"

"I know how to take care of myself." I said coldly.

"Oh." he seemed depressed, like a dog being scolded.

I ate in silence, watching him. He ate an amount that would last me five days in that single meal. I wondered how he remained so small on such a diet. He must do a lot of exercise.

((Daisuke's POV))

Creepy boy is staring at you.

"I know."

He's thinking something dirty about you.

"Why do you say that?" He's not that kind of guy!

Because his nibbling is becoming steadily slower, and he looks less depressed than normal.

I glared at him. Dark could be so weird sometimes.

I sat there for a while longer, watching the birds fly. There were a lot of them. Satoshi continued nibbling his roll. The way he was staring at me was starting to creep me out.

"Ano, Hiwatari-kun?" I started nervously.

"Hai?" He took no notice of my nervousness.

"What are you doing?"

"Eating." He continued watching me.

"You have to hurry up; the bell will ring soon." Anything to make him stop looking at me like that.

"I will." he said, He nibbled faster, and finished seconds before the bell rang.

We walked back to class together, as we were in the same class.

"What do you do in your spare time?" I asked him to break the silence.

"I read," he said. "And I think. I plot Dark's demise."

What! That's mean!

"He's staring at me again."

Maybe my 'demise' isn't the only thing he plots in his spare time.

"What else would he plot?"

He wants to bang you.

"WHAT!"

He likes you, Daisuke.

"Why do keep saying things like that?"

'Cause it's true…

"No it's not!"

"Isn't what?" asked Satoshi coolly.

"Nothing." "I can't believe I said that out loud! Everyone is staring at me!"

Baka.

"I'm not stupid!"

"Why would you be?"

I blushed. "What's wrong with me today?"

Maybe you wouldn't mind getting banged…

"Why do think that?" I felt a deep blush spread across my face. This was one of the worst days of my life.

((Satoshi's POV))

A deep blush spread across Niwa's face. I wondered what he was thinking about.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." he muttered.

No you're not. You're upset about something.

We arrived at class. Our hyper teacher launched right into the spiel she had prepared for us.

"…And to teach these things, we are going to a hot springs resort!"

To learn something? That's odd.

"Now, choose someone you feel comfortable with, you'll be sharing a bed."

I hope I get Niwa-kun.

Everyone partnered up with someone, and soon me and Niwa-kun were the only guys left, so I got my wish. We were all sent home with the good news to pack, and told to be at school for seven o'clock sharp tomorrow.

((Daisuke's POV))

So you'll be sleeping with creepy boy for two weeks.

"Not that way!"

Oh really? I'm sure he doesn't think of it that way.

"He isn't a fruitcake!"

Think what you like, I know you can feel him staring at you.

"It's not like that!"

What is it like then?

"I don't know, but he doesn't want to—to—"

To bang you?

Yeah! Er, I mean, no, or…I don't know what I mean!

Try not to look at him while he's on top of you, okay. I don't need the images.

"Shut up!"

"Daisuke-kun!" Riku said. "You're mean! I was trying to see if you were okay!"

"Ah!" "What is wrong with me today!"

… ! You're excited! You want to get done!

"I do not!"

"Gomen, Haranda-san." I said, blushing from Dark's comments. When she left for some silly conversation with Risa, I was glad. I could hardly believe I had once liked the girl.

((Satoshi's POV))

This would be great. I would get Niwa-kun alone all to myself every night for two weeks. These would be the best two weeks of my life, if I planned it out right.

Plans started swirling in my head as I walked home, and I knew that the flame-eyed boy would be mine by the end of this trip.

I haven't ditched Human or Monster. I would never do that.
