*Ai followed in suit, although she wanted to scream inside. Saturday was when she played Soccor...and she wouldn't be able to make it this time.*
*As they left the office and were out of earshot of Mr. Koboyashi she broke down in tear's, crying into Darren's shoulder.*
"I can't miss...soccor...they're gonna kick me off the team.."

Daren stopped to try and console her.
"Listen, we'll only have to serve it in the morning. You won't miss soccer, you play in the afternoon right? So there should be plenty of time. I've had to serve a Saturday detention once or twice, so I know we won't be there for two long. So cheer up," he said with a smile.
"The only thing that makes me mad is that I'm going to miss Saturday morning cartoons," he said with a snort...

*Ai managed a small laugh, as they both walked back to class. Thankfully the bell had rung and the teacher was already gone when they arrived, Daren sliding open the door for Ai.*
*Imediately the class quiet down on their entrance, and Ai slunked over to her seat near her friends. Who, imediately huddled around her and started prodding her with question's. Through the crowd Ai shot Darren a look of distress, but continued answer question's.*

Daren saw how uncomfortable Ai was with her being bombarded with questions. He moved to try and take some stress off of her.
'Now is not the time for this,' he thought,' These friends of hers seemed to always choose the most inopportune times to huddle around. What do thy think she is, their leader or something?'
At the thought of that, Daren was about to be class clown for once, but his mind wandered to that nightmare of his he has been having for years and at the moment that man was hurt.
"AH!" he shouted, grabbing his ribs and falling to his knees half-way across the room. It felt like a searing poker had just been jabbed into his ribs.
Even though he was in pain, he jokingly thought,'Maybe this will get some of the heat off Ai....'

*The other girl's parted, forming a circle around Daren, and Ai quickly shoved them out of the way and crouched down near him.*
"Woh woh, whats wrong!?"
*She said, pointing to a friend of her's, Toshi Takanata.*
"Toshi, go get the nurse NOW!"
*The boy nodded, his eye's fixed on Daren as he slowly backed away and ran out of the room.*

'Well, looks like it worked,' he thought,. a slight smirk forming on his face as the pain intensified. He saw everyone around him, worried looks on their faces. He knew they were wondering what was wrong.
"It's okay," Daren grunted as he got to one knee," I'm fine...AHH!"
He fell back to his knees as he tried to stand up completely, another sharp jolt going through his body. He felt like his side was on fire, sweat beginning to form on his brow.
"What's wrong Daren?" he heard one his classmates say.
"His sides hurting, duh!" came another voice. He didn't recognize them. He always tended to steer clear of everyone but Ai and a few others in the class. He didn't see any of his other friends faces in the circle around him.
He did see Ai, beside him and managed to whisper something "Glad I could get those girls away from badgering you, but I didn't intend to do it like this."
As the words came out of his mouth, the pain in his side became too much for his mind to handle and fell on his side, unconscious

"Daren!"
*Ai yelped, heaving his heavy body onto one of her shoulders.*
"I'm done waiting for Toshi!"
*She shouted, running out of the classroom door and down the hall to the nurses office, all the while dragging Daren behind her. He was really heavy, her frame could barely lift the weight, but she managed none-the-less. She saw Toshi with Ms Iata the nurse in the distance and breathed a sigh of releif.*

Daren was in some sort of void, unaware of where he was and then in a flash he was there again. In the middle of that battle, except this time things were different. It wasn't like he was watching from afar, he was in the battle. He was the one with wound going through his stomach. He was the one that desroyed the shadow and himself.
Daren awoke in a shock as he shot up in the bed in the nurses's office. He grabbed at his side to see if the wound was there.
Then he thought,' What am I doing? It was a dream only a dream.' He relaxed at layed back down on the bed, still feeling his side burning but now more of an irritation than a pain. He thought he heard voices outside the door.....

*Two people were argueing, the principle and the teacher from the class. Of course they kept their voice's down as to not disturb Daren. But with a wave of dismissal the teacher walked off, and the door slowly slid open.*
*Ai walked in, followed by Mr. Koboyashi. Seeing Daren she immediately ran over to his side.*
"Are you alright!? What happened?"
*She asked in quick succsession.*

Daren sat up in the bed as Ai ran to his side, glad to see her. He smiled, and he saw Mr. Kobayashi behind Ai.
"I honestly don't know," he said,the smile dropping from his face,"One minute I was walking across the classroom and the next minute, I was on my knees holding my sides. It felt like there was a fire right on my skin."
He was trying not look at either of them. He was staring at the floor. When he caught a glance of Ai and Mr. Kobayashi. Both with a look of worry on their faces, but Mr. Kobayashi had a strange look in his eyes. One that told Daren he knew more than he let on....

"I'm gonna have my momma give us a ride home...that run today might've done more then I thought..."
*She looked back at Mr. Koboyashi who nodded his approval and left the room quickly, looking back at Daren solemnly before closing the door with a soft thud. Ai smiled down and wiped the tear's from under her eye's.*
"I was so scarred...."

"Scared?" Daren asked. He wasn't used to seeing Ai like this, tears coming from her eyes and all. It made him feel guilty for what had happened, but he knew that was ridiculous. He had no control over the pain that he felt earlier.
"Why?" he continued,"You know it will take more than that to keep me down," he said jokingly as he began to get out of the bed. Then the burning sensation began to intensify again. He grabbed his side instinctively, but tried to straighten up to try and act like nothing had happened, but it didn't work.
"What is going on?" he said as he sat back down on the bed,"The same spot each time where that man gets stabbed in my dream....."

"What?"
*Ai asked quickly, confused at what Darren had just said. She grabbed his hand and started caressing it softly, soothingly.*
"Don't worry about it...I'll get a wheelchair and bring you home..."

Daren sighed. He didn't understand why he kept feeling this pain.
'Why?' he thought,'This makes no sense.'
He knew Ai was trying to maker him feel better. he looked at her and smiled.
"A wheelchair?!" he said, pretending to be outraged,"Do I look like I need a wheelchair?"
He stood up straight this time, finally able to ignore the sensation in his side. He heard footsteps outside the door.
"Is Mr.Kobayashi back already?" he asked Ai....

*Ai perked up and stood up straight near the door. She peeked out through the keyhole, seeing the figure of a tall, slender man standing outside.*
"Its definitely not Mr. Koboyashi..."
*She said, lowering her voice to that of a whisper.*
