Back to the hotel, Riku realizes she left the room without her key. Daisuke who is Dark using the sleeping boy's body appears and brings her out on a walk to tell her the truth by transforming into Dark in front of her. Riku questions him in disbelief, but is quickly knocked out by Daiki and Emiko Niwa , who had followed "Daisuke" [24].
When she wakes up again, she's in her bedroom. She immediately remembers Dark and panics, telling the truth to Risa who calms her down: there's no way Daisuke can be Dark. Plus, her sister says, she obviously spent the night in her bed. Riku wonders if everything was just a dream. When she sees Daisuke again, she asks him if he can pick locks, but he denies having this ability. Class II-B prepares the middle school 's cultural festival and the students have decided boys will perform a play adaptation of the Ice and Snow tale while girls are in charge of preparing costumes and set.
Everyone except Daisuke Niwa has voted for the boy to play the heroine Freedert 's part. Keiji Saga and Funabashi, just transferred to the class, suggest they replace the prince character by Dark , played by Satoshi Hiwatari [25]. Riku ends up in charge of the costume of Freedert despite her lack of skills in sewing [26].
Just as details are decided and students start preparing the classroom, Riku notices Daisuke is called over by a teacher. When she meets him again, he's carrying a canvas; the snow painting and the beautiful description he makes move Riku, who asks to keep the piece. Daisuke agrees, and tries to ask if he can paint her portrait before being interrupted by Keiji. Riku, who still dislikes him, leaves them alone grumpily [25].
The following day, Risa is sick and her sister takes care of her. Dark unexpectedly shows up at night in Riku's bedroom to steal the snow painting and kiss an asleep Risa. The older twin catches him and, determined to protect her sister and get her present back, fights until the painting's magic activates [27] and makes them descend into the Second Hand of Time 's world.
The thief explains they fell into a dream world. Mysterious guards appear to arrest them [28] and Dark surrenders immediately. After they're brought into a cell, Dark mentions his nature is close to this world's and frees himself.
Before disappearing, he tells Riku to call either him or Daisuke if she needs help. She waits in the cell until Daisuke opens the door to untie and rescue her. Much to her surprise, he draws a faithful image of her bedroom on the floor.
Dark catches her and uses this temporary door to leave the painting. Before they disappear, Daisuke tries to reassure her: what is happening is just a dream. When she wakes up in her bed the following morning, she notices her headband is missing [29].
Still unsure that what she saw that night is indeed a dream, Riku still goes to Daisuke's house to accompany him to school for the first time. Ignorant of the fact the real Daisuke is still in the artwork's world and Dark is the one she's talking to, she questions him about her dream Later that day, she sees "Daisuke" in a classroom and almost recognizes him as Dark. The thief, who has decided to erase her memory of the previous night, gives up on his plan and hugs her, expressing his desire to not be forgotten.
Riku hears Dark's voice but the boy immediately escapes [26]. Back home, Riku realizes her snow painting disappeared. The black feathers Risa found on the ground only mean one thing: Dark is behind this [30]. When, at school, Daisuke who is With taking the boy's place tenderly hugs her, she rejects him, unable to face him after what happened to the painting.
Determined to find the thief, she and Risa go to the Russell Museum where Dark announced he'd appear to steal the Wedge of Time [31]. On their way, the twins discuss their respective tastes, the young one teasing her sister on the fact she could be popular as well if she dressed femininely.
Riku confronts Risa about her feelings toward a criminal, but her argument about being unable to hate the man she loves despite his activities make her speechless. If Daisuke was Dark, could Riku hate him?
Risa's knowledge of the area allows them to sneak closer to the museum, and the girl even distracts a policeman by pretending she is hurt, much to Riku's shock.
When Riku spots Dark, she tries to jump between roofs to reach him but misses and falls, causing her to faint [32]. She wakes up later, surprised to be safe and sound, and immediately notices Daisuke is nearby.
Rushing to his side, she sees the snow painting next to him and apologises for its bad condition. However, the boy only cares about hiding his crying face and embraces her. Appeased, Riku comforts him [33]. During the play, Daisuke, who's performing, gestures in her direction. Riku rushes to turn the lights off The audience laughs in front of the boy's misfortune. Riku apologises profusely after the play, but the boy doesn't take account of her mistake.
He asks if he can paint her portrait one day and they almost kiss Except Daisuke escapes at the last second [34]. Embarrassed, Riku avoids him the following day. After class, she however can't resist peeking in his desk, where she finds a written apology [35]. She runs to the Art club's room to meet him but the boy is gone [36]. Riku realises that Daisuke and Dark always seem linked in one way or another. Risa 's date with Dark is the perfect occasion to make sure the thief and Daisuke are two distinct persons: she invites her boyfriend on a date to Azumano Joyland at 10am, the exact time Risa is supposed to meet her thief.
On the day of the date, Riku is delighted to see Daisuke came as planned [37]. They try a few attractions and spend a good time together, until someone bumps into her and Daisuke catches her. The closeness makes the boy run away [38]. Her good mood back, Riku brings "Daisuke" to the haunted house. When the attraction suddenly goes dark, she feels something soft, but nothing seems out of the ordinary when the lights come back.
In the haunted house, "Daisuke"'s frightened behaviour amuses her The boy only releases her when a man Kosuke Niwa arrives and reassures him. Riku is susprised by their apparent bond, but both men vehemently deny knowing each other and the man leaves them alone. Riku can't help but wonder, disappointed, whether "Daisuke" only hugged her because he was scared [40]. The day is brought to an end and Riku and "Daisuke" With, who had to replace Daisuke are in a water ride when a power outage occurs [42].
The girl notices her new handmirror shines in the dark, but it suddenly returns to normal [43]. As she's telling Daisuke her eyes are adjusting to the dim light, the boy starts apologising profusely, warning her about something shocking. However, he stops as nothing in particular happens, puzzling Riku. The boy ends up leaving their ride to seek a manager but returns quickly as With.
Riku suddenly receives an empty text message from her sister and understands something is wrong [44]. She is brought back home where her mother watches over her. During her sleep, she dreams of the time Risa and her were separated. When she wakes up, her mother tells her her sister disappeared without a trace. Riku is willing to search for Risa but her low stamina keeps her in bed where she can only feel, helpless, her sister's fear [46]. Her only hope is Dark , who sends her a warning card saying he'll rescue Risa [47].
The thief keeps his promise and Risa ultimately comes back home, delighted to have been saved by her loved one. Riku scolds her and notices Daisuke is nearby. Pretending he was jogging when he randomly found Risa, he tries to escape from this delicate situation but Riku thanks him and tells him to thank Dark as well [48].
Riku doesn't understand Daisuke is struggling to invite her to the ball. She asks him for an artwork's location, which the boy apparently perfectly knows.
On her way, she surprises Risa searching for secret passages where she could hide to meet Dark, which causes an argument that is quickly interrupted by the museum's curator. The man explains to the girls how easily artworks can be scared and shows them Insomnia , an artwork he feels is alive, as an example.
The twins' feelings are opposed, as Riku likes the artwork and thinks it is a shame that it will be discarded in a few days. As she's leaving the room, she notices Daisuke in front of Insomnia and joins him [49] , but a sudden flash of light blinds her.
Satoshi Hiwatari rushes to her help and tells her to not open her eyes. Risa sees something is wrong and runs in their direction [50]. When Riku opens her eyes, she's lying on the floor and Satoshi is calling her. Seeing Risa unconscious makes her immediately seek their teacher for help [51].
Riku vainly questions Risa, then Daisuke. What happened with the mirror? The boy distracts her attention by suddenly asking her to the ball. She answers she can't go and runs away.
The evening of the school trip to the museum, Risa confronts Riku about her decision to not go to the school's Dance Party with Daisuke. Despite Riku's silence, Risa understands she refused so that her sister wouldn't feel the pain of not being able to go with Dark. The younger twin comes up with an idea: they will both share Daisuke for the ball. Risa joins Riku in her bed that night and questions her.
How would Riku react if they loved the same boy? Riku simply answers their opposite tastes make this impossible [52]. Someone calls Risa over, and as she goes back to the building, Riku stays to observe the thief who starts transforming. A mysterious man Krad shoots him and Riku witnesses Dark and the other man changing back to Daisuke and Satoshi. However, she forgets her dismay and instantly intervenes when Satoshi puts the gun against his own temple.
Satoshi walks away and Riku finally questions Daisuke. Who is facing her, the thief or Daisuke Niwa [54]? At this exact moment, Takeshi Saehara emerges from a bush. He's on the phone and loudly announces Dark has been spotted in town. Riku is relieved: there was no way Dark could have transformed into Daisuke.
Apologizing, she runs back to the ball [55]. However, her suspicion comes back the following day. She closely follows and questions Daisuke all day long [56]. After class, the girl is ready to hound Daisuke more, but Risa forcefully drags her to do shopping together [56]. Dark announcing he will commit another heist is a new occasion to check whether the thief is Daisuke or not. Riku accompanies her sister to Keiji Saga 's residence, as the boy owns Dark's new target.
However, the girls can't pass the fence. As a disheartened Riku is leaving, she sees a bright light through one of the residence's windows [57]. Dark steals Riku's first kiss on his first heist's night and the girl believes she saw Daisuke's face right after. After Risa is asked on a date by Dark and returns home excitedly planning everything about it, Riku blames Daisuke for not guarding Risa properly and thus enabling Dark to speak with her. Unsatisfied with his answer, she puts him in a headlock.
Then just as suddenly she asks whether Daisuke could be Dark, causing them to both remember the forced kiss between Riku and Dark. Daisuke admits nothing but quickly apologizes anyway and flees. Riku wonders to herself why Daisuke fears her. That evening, in their mansion, Risa cheerfully considers clothes for her date while Riku sits on the couch, unhappy about the situation and worried for her sister.
After being asked if she is jealous, Riku leaves and lays on her bed in the dark until a bright light illuminates the room. A white, winged unicorn stands before her, knocking her unconscious and carrying her on its back into a portal.
One following morning, Risa is thinking with delight about her evening with Dark and tells Riku about the details of their blossoming romance. Unimpressed and unnerved, Riku leaves the room. One day, at the Harada Mansion, Risa laments her upcoming cooking class with the strict home economics teacher, Kaseda; whereas Riku is unexplainably happy. Later that day, the older twin gives one of the bandages she had prepared for her sister to Daisuke, who accidentally cut his finger.
However, the boy accidentally spills water on her and Takeshi Saehara when he is surprised by the sight of his pet rabbit With in the classroom. While the class cleans the dishes, Kaseda announces that Daisuke and Risa will stay after school the next day to chop cabbages.
That evening, Risa pleasantly brings tea to Riku, offers to massage her shoulders and Riku immediately realizes something is wrong. More shredded cabbage later, Kaseda inspects their work and praises them for their success. This only won an amused snort from the thief, who had twisted around to look at his ass.
He purred softly to himself, and grazed his hands over it. The last of his clothing dropped to the floor, and the thief stepped free, then turned off the taps. The thief slid into the almost-too-hot water, and slumped with a contented sigh. Sandalwood and jasmine scented steam misted his view, and the ends of his inky indigo hair floated in the water. Dark relaxed, going limp and closing his eyes.
And get a better reward for it, too. Not at all. I just… think its silly, pretending to be dead just to trick a kiss. Dark grinned. He was enjoying himself, but the game was getting too cruel. He sighed dramatically. He is even more jealous than you, Dai-san. Daisuke stuttered wordlessly for a moment, then went silent.
Relieved, Dark slid further into the water until he was chin deep. Daisuke was nagging him half-heartedly about dripping everywhere, and Dark listened, smirking. With, his familiar, was asleep of the sofa, snuffling and twitching in rabbit-dreams. Bored of pacing the room, Dark opened the balcony door.
Daisuke protested at this, too. Dark smirked again. He must have hit a nerve with his alter-ego, for him to be reacting so violently. The night air was cool on his still wet skin, and made his flesh goose-pimple. It felt good after the hot steam. He sat at the desk, putting the hairbrush down. She's the nicer sister, and isn't as snotty. She's the sister with shorter hair - a source of common confusion. Later on, Dark develops a crush on her, and she is what makes him turn back into Daisuke.
However, Riku likes Daisuke , and thinks that Dark is a pervert for good reason. Riku Harada is the slightly more tomboyish and mature of the Harada twins. While Risa enjoys being popular and good-looking, Riku is the complete opposite.
She wears what is comfortable to her and is very independent, always trying to do things on her own to prove that she is not weak.
