Both Daisuke and Satoshi stared down at their respective hands of cards, peering up periodically to see if the other would give anything away.
Daisuke looked ready to make his move, and discreetly pushed a large object forward, "I see your candy and raise you a grilled cheese sandwich," He said.
Satoshi sighed and laid his cards down on the table, "Niwa tell me again why we're playing poker with food?"
"Because mom won't let me play with any money," Daisuke answered.
"Why are we even playing then?" Satoshi asked.
"It's because we're bored kids who have nothing better to do over summer break," Daisuke said lifting up the sandwich to take a bite out of it.
"Isn't there anything better that we can do?" Satoshi asked.
"Well there is one thing I could use some help with," Daisuke said hesitantly.
"Niwa, how did you ever manage to convince me to do this? Satoshi asked his redheaded friend as he once again looked at the ridiculous outfit he was in.
He was wearing a black long sleeved jacket with large silver clasps going down the front and an oversized collar that was popped up instead of being folded down. He had a matching pair of black jeans on and black shoes. He had a messy purple wig on over his usual blue hair.
Krad snickered at the back of Satoshi's mind, "I never thought I'd see one of my tamers dressed as my other half."
"Shut up, Krad." Satoshi replied.
"You know, Dai I was wondering the same thing, how did you get Creepy Boy to dress as me again? Last time it took an army of fan girls," Dark asked, also chuckling at the sight of Satoshi.
"Dark, how many times do I have to tell you Hiwatari isn't creepy," Daisuke chided.
Daisuke was wearing similar clothing to Satoshi's just without the wig. "I told you Dark and I have a bet, if I can steal the Winters Moon from this museum without his help I win. If not then he gets to go on another date with Miss Harada." Daisuke said, "And since Mom sent out the letter with Dark's name on it the press needs to see someone who looks just like him. Then I remembered that you still had the costume from our class play, and realized you'd make a perfect double," Daisuke explained.
"Why can't you just ask Wiz to become Dark? He does it often enough," Satoshi asked.
"Wiz and Towa are on vacation," Daisuke answered.
"Fine let's get this over with," Satoshi sighed.
The two left Satoshi's apartment and headed for an old castle that was being renovated into a museum. Once they got there Daisuke and Satoshi hid behind some bushes. Daisuke adjusted his bag to make it more comfortable for him as he crouched on the lookout for police.
"You know Detective Sehara is sure to be looking for me tonight. If he catches me in this ridiculous outfit I'll probably lose my job," Satoshi pointed out.
"We're just going to have to make sure he doesn't see you then." Daisuke said.
Satoshi perked up looking over to Daisuke, "Actually, Niwa. I think we need to do the exact opposite." He said giving Daisuke one of his rare smiles, "Follow me."
Daisuke looked confused but followed Satoshi as he snuck out from behind the bush and darted around to one of the sides of the castle.
"The security is usually lightest around here," Satoshi said stopping.
"I see," Daisuke said still confused. Satoshi hadn't told him any of this rapidly evolving plan and he was feeling a little left in the dust.
"Stay here I'm going to go make an appearance," Satoshi said.
"But Hiwa-"He started to say but his friend had already started to climb up the side of the castle.
Once Satoshi reached a lower rooftop he climbed on top of it and got the police officers attention with a few very Dark like one-liners. Once they spotted him he climbed down quickly to avoid any one looking too closely.
He jumped down the last few feet and landed next to Daisuke where he tore off his wig and shrugged out of the jacket he was wearing. "Niwa, open up your bag."
Daisuke nodded, still a little dazed at his friend's sudden actions and pulled the strings on the bag opening it up.
Satoshi shoved the clothing in to it and closed it. "Now let's go see the Detective," He said.
"I thought the point of being a thief was to not be caught, Hiwatari. Aren't you getting this a little mixed up?" Daisuke asked.
Satoshi shook his head, "We're not going to get caught, they're going to let us walk through the front doors."
Daisuke scratched his head, "How are we going to pull that off?" he asked.
"Niwa, did you forget that I'm a police man? Besides the best way to get in is with a security pass, and I happen to have left mine at home." Satoshi answered before he turned and started heading back to the front of the castle. Daisuke did a quick jog to catch up to his friend and smiled. Asking Hiwatari for help was turning out to be more fun than he'd planned.
They arrived to find police cars and police men surrounding the front end of the castle. Satoshi and Daisuke strolled right through them all heading towards a tall figure in a tan trench coat.
"Detective Sehara," Satoshi said coming over to him, "What's the status?"
"Your late commander," The detective said.
"I had some unavoidable business. Now what's the status of the situation?" Satoshi told him.
"Dark was just seen entering the castle," Sehara answered, "We've got guards watching every exit and have a team prepared to enter the building at my command."
"Good, we'll enter before them and start to track Dark. Unfortunately it I'm going to need the extra security pass, I seem to have left mine at home," Satoshi said.
"You've never forgotten it before, why today?" Sehara asked.
"That unavoidable business caused me to be more than late. May I have the pass?" Satoshi asked.
Detective Sehara looked like he wanted to ask Satoshi more about his 'unavoidable business' but seemed to think better of it before nodding and handing over the extra pass.
Daisuke smiled and thanked him as Satoshi took the pass. Together the two headed in the front door. Daisuke had to suppress his grin as each officer they passed stopped to salute Hiwatari. Sometimes having a friend who was a police officer could be great. Though he'd never tell his mother that, Emiko would probably have a heart attack at the thought
"Creepy boy is smarter than I thought. I have to give him props for just walking in the front door to steal something," Dark muttered.
Once they were inside Satoshi lead Daisuke to what seemed like an abandoned room that was still in the process of being remodeled.
"We shouldn't be bothered in here," He said closing the door, "Now help me get changed so you can steal the Winters Moon and I can get back to being on the other side of the law."
Satoshi took the jacket out of the bag and pulled it back on while Daisuke fumbled with the wig. He put it on Satoshi's head pulling the ends over the bluenett's hair and tucking in the strands that still weren't hidden.
"Hiwatari, how do you put this thing on? What are these clips for?" Daisuke asked. In the part of the wig that went over Satoshi's hair Daiuske had discovered a series of clips.
"Oh, those are to keep the wig from falling off," Satoshi said adjusting the wig, he clipped the wig to his hair ensuring it wouldn't fall off, even if he ended up jumping out a window. "How do I look?" he asked turning back to Daisuke.
"Like Dark, just don't let anyone get too good a look at you," Daisuke smiled.
After a quick glance to make sure no officers were prowling around the two headed out of the room and through the castle, stopping every few moments to check for police. Eventually they made it to the room the Winters Moon was in. Daisuke cracked the code on the artwork's display case and pocked the small carved moon with little trouble.
"I never thought I'd be helping you steal one of my families artworks," Satoshi said shaking his head.
Daisuke smiled at Satoshi, "And I never thought you would be helping me steal something."
The boys stood there for a second then jumped as a strange sound resounded through the room.
"What was that?" Daisuke whispered.
"I'm not sure, let's go look," Satoshi answered.
They opened the door and looked around when they saw nothing was wrong they quietly left the room. The hallway they were in was long and lined with old pictures and suits of armor. They headed down and turned a corner. One of the suits was crumpled on the ground.
"That must have been the source of the noise," Daisuke said relieved.
"But what made it fall, the guards are under strict orders not to make a noise," Satoshi said squinting at it.
"It could be so old its legs rusted and finally fell out from under it?" Daisuke suggested.
"No these suits look almost new, like they were put here for effect," Satoshi had moved on to examining the other suits in the hallway. Each one was in pristine condition, without a trace of rust or even dirt on them.
He stood up and looked around, "Why don't we take a closer look around the hallway. Maybe a mouse disturbed it," Even as he said it Satoshi didn't believe his excuse for the armor's disruption, something was going on, he just hadn't figured out what yet.
Daisuke nodded and they started back down the hall. Passing a closed door they heard muffled voices coming from behind it.
"That must be them," Daisuke said.
They creeped closer to the door to eavesdrop but when they were within hearing range the door burst open and a large group of girls fell out.
"What the?" Satoshi said as he and Daisuke jumped back.
"What do you think they're doing here?" Daisuke whispered to Satoshi, hoping beyond hope that they hadn't noticed the two boys dressed identically in front of them.
"No idea, but I think we're about to find out," Satoshi replied.
He and Daisuke began to back up as the girls untangled themselves and stood. Daisuke positioned himself just in front of Satoshi to help prevent them from seeing his friend's face closely.
The girls looked around spotting them almost instantly.
"DARK!" they squealed in unison and charged the boys.
"Run!" Daisuke said pulling Satoshi away and sprinting down the hallway with his friend in tow.
They raced down the hallway, the screaming girls chasing them all the way. Daisuke darted into an open room and shutting the door behind him. In their excitement the girls missed the two boy's exit and rushed by eager to catch their prey.
"Satoshi take the wig off." Daisuke said rubbing his hands together.
Satoshi who was trying to do just that gritted his teeth, "I can't! It's stuck!" he said fumbling with the clips. They'd somehow gotten knotted in his hair and in his rush to get the wig off he was afraid he was doing more harm than good.
"That's not good, here let me help," Daisuke said before he grabbed the wig and pulled on it.
"Oww! Stop pulling," Satoshi yanked strands of the wig out of Daisuke's hands, "We don't have time to mess with this. We'll just have to try and make it out alive without me being me," Satoshi said.
"We have to be super sneaky too, if they catch us we'll be dead, or worse," Daisuke said shuddering at the thought of the fan girls actually getting a hold of them.
"Right," Satoshi said.
Daisuke peeked out of the room and found the hall empty, "Ok, let's go back the way we came, they shouldn't be that way anymore," Daisuke said.
He and Satoshi snuck back down the hall and paused at the door the girls had come out of.
Satoshi hesitantly opened the door hoping for a way out of the castle. What he found was the exact opposite, the room was just a closet and there was a fan girl left. When she spotted Satoshi she squealed again, "I knew waiting here was a good idea! Girls! I found Dark!" she yelled her voice echoing through the hallway.
The hall started to vibrate with the footsteps of the fan girls returning down the hall. Satoshi bolted away from the closet and he and Daisuke ran down the hall. The hall they were in was covered in doors and Daisuke stopped at one pulling it open "Let's try this door!" Daisuke said.
They ran through and the girls followed.
Satoshi and Daisuke came out a door further in the hall and the girls came out one opposite the one they had been in.
Daisuke picked another door and ran through it while Satoshi found another. The girls ran through the one the two boys had come out of.
Next Daisuke came out of a painting and Satoshi came running out of a door followed by the fan girls. Daisuke pulled him up into the hole behind the painting and the girls headed through another door.
Finally they all came running out of the same door and the two boys opted for heading down the hall while the girls ran through a few more doors.
When the girls realized they had lost 'Dark' they turned and headed down the hall the same way Daisuke and Satoshi had gone.
They entered in a door at the end of the hall. When they got in it looked like a giant spa room. The girls looked around in awe.
"Wow!" one of them said.
"Who knew they were hiding this here!" another said.
Two guys walked out from behind a curtain in front of them. They were wearing white smocks and had rather large hats on their heads covering all their hair.
"Wellllcome!" one of them greeted holding out the word extra-long for emphasis. He seemed to have an accent that was a toss-up between French and German.
"Are you all here for our exclusive Night of the Spa?" the other one said throwing flyers and towels into all of their hands.
The girls caught them in surprise and let themselves be lead off further into the room.
"First you wash off! Then we give you spa treatment!" the first guy said.
The other one nodded as he pushed each girl into a separate shower room and closed the door on them. Then the two boys hurried out of the room locking the door behind them.
"We did it!" Daisuke said pulling off his disguise.
"I can't believe that worked, good job Niwa," Satoshi said also pulling his off.
"The Niwa kid actually has good ideas sometimes," Krad commented.
"I'm not sure it was his idea Krad. That was more of something Dark would have come up with," Satoshi replied.
"Thanks for the great idea Dark," Daisuke said.
"I've been wanting to try that one on the fan girls for a while. Now stop wasting time. You two better get going before they figure out the trick," Dark said.
"Let's go their bound to figure it out soon," Daisuke told Satoshi.
He nodded and they hurried down the hall.
"Niwa we're lost," Satoshi said.
"No we're not, I know the blueprints for this place like the back of my hand," Daisuke said.
"Then where are we?" Satoshi asked.
"Were…umm…ok were lost," Daisuke said hanging his head.
Satoshi sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Well if we keep going in one direction were bound to find a window at least," He said.
"Then let's pick a direction," Daisuke said, they were at a four way intersection of the castle.
"Well defiantly not the way we came from, those fangirls are still out there," Satoshi said.
"Hmmm, why don't we flip a coin?" Daisuke asked.
"That would work if we only had two ways to go Niwa," Satoshi said, "Maybe we could…"
"Shh! I think I hear something," Daisuke said suddenly.
Muffled voices came from behind them.
"It's the CFGs!" Daisuke said.
"CFGs? Since when have you had time to nickname them?" Satoshi asked.
"It stands for Crazed Fan Girls. It's actually something Dark calls them," Daisuke shrugged.
The voices were getting louder and the two boys looked around, panicked.
"This way!" they both said at the same time.
Daisuke pointed to the left and Satoshi was pointing to the right, then they pointed to the opposite way, "This way!"
"Oh just run!" Satoshi said. He could see the cloud of dust in the distance from the CFGs coming.
They both ran off in opposite directions of each other. Satoshi went right and Daisuke went left.
When the fan girls reached the intersection they all decided to head down the hall going straight, it was like they never even noticed the other halls.
Daisuke ran until he was out of breath. When he did, he leaned over and rested his hands on his knees panting. After he caught his breath some, and he could hear over the sound of his breathing he looked up. The sound of running footsteps was coming closer.
"Not again!" Daisuke said, "I'm not running anymore, besides there not even chasing me," He decided to just stand there and see who was coming.
Satoshi stopped for a quick break and then continued hurrying down the hall, he hoped that most of the fan girls had followed Daisuke. The hall he was in looked like it opened into a large room at the end and he was in a hurry to get there to see if there was anywhere to hide from the crazy girls.
When he made it in to the room he found Daisuke sitting on the floor.
"Hiwatari? What are you doing here? I though we went in different directions," Daisuke asked getting up.
"The halls must all meet here…" Satoshi said.
"That means they'll be here soon!" Daisuke said his eyes growing huge.
They both hurriedly looked around the room for anywhere to hide or escape too. The room was barren of large objects, random doors, windows and extra-long tapestries that could be climbed.
"It looks like you need my help," Dark said.
"I can do this on my own," Daisuke replied.
"And will you be saying that when those CGFs get here?" Dark asked, "It sounds like they're getting awfully close."
Daisuke thought for a moment, "Man, and I was so close too." He mumbled and relented, switching with Dark.
"Dark? What are you doing here? What happened to Niwa?" Satoshi asked.
Dark smirked, "Me? I'm just here to take care of your girl problem," Dark said before turning towards the opening the running sound was coming from. He pulled out a feather and when the girls came running into the room the feather started to glow, one by one all the girls passed out on the ground sound asleep.
"You know there probably dreaming about me," Dark said turning back to Satoshi.
Satoshi glared at the thief, "Only in your dreams. Now can we please get out of here? I really need to get this wig off. I'm tired of being mistaken for someone as conceited as you," He said then turned and headed out of the room.
When they reached the outside Dark turned back into Daisuke.
"I was so close to winning that bet," Daisuke sighed.
"What does it matter? Your with Riku right?" Satoshi asked.
"I still wanted to win…" Daisuke muttered.
"Look at it this way, at least you don't have a wig stuck on your head," Satoshi sighed.
"Oh! I forgot! Why don't we go back to my house and mom can help you get that off?" Daisuke asked.
"I'm not sure this wig is ever coming off, but we'll give it a try," Satoshi said.
And that's it! Thanks for reading! And for all those people who are now wondering "Where did she ever get an idea for something like that?" I got this idea when a friend of mine randomly said, "I see your candy and raise you a grilled cheese sandwich!" It immediately made me think of Daisuke and Satoshi playing a game of poker. Don't ask why it's just the first thought that popped into my head. The fic is a mix of that, too much Scooby Doo, and way too little sleep! I hoped you guys liked it! As always R&R!
Dawn's out!
