Chapter One "Mysterious Man Returns"

Author: Hello every. I know, I've been writing stories and so I've been busy keeping up with each, but I wanted to write a new one based on a series that seems to fading away because it only has one season. I'm once again attempting to write about D.. This will be similar to the actual manga and anime, which I wasn't trying to go for, but I will change it up a bit. Well enough chat, so on with our beloved story.

Hello every one. I bet your wondering who I am right. Well, my name is Rukia. I'm the next decent to the Niwa family. I know, a female has now been born into the family, but there was nothing I can do. It's been years since the family "curse". I know, my great grandfather told me about it and how he was upset when he left. My mother told me it was nonsense. Not to listen to him. It's hard growing up and he tired to train me like how he was. Let's just say, I got the hang of it now, but I am still sad. He died not long ago and since then, life hasn't been the same.

My mother was his granddaughter. After my grandfather was born, he tired to have another son, but ended up a daughter. Funny isn't it. Then when my father tired to have a son, he got me. My mother always told me I was an angel. A beautiful angel sent from the heavens above. That always cheers me up.

I am still in middle, but don't worry. I will be entering high school soon. I'm different from the others. I like to take the train, even through after the reconstruction; they made it easier for us to get to school. What can I say, I am always an odd ball, but my friends go with me on the train. Let's just say they are different too. There is also a strange boy on the train. From what I heard, he used to go to school with us, but ended up passing straight out of school like his great grandfather. Mother told me to stay away from them. That they are no good and never will be, but my grandfather says differently. He told me that the family is misunderstood.

Doesn't matter to me, I'm just excited. Our class gets to go to a museum today and not just any. This museum is said to rare and beautiful artifacts that are ancient I can't wait. Still, some people told me there is one you don't want to pass by. It is called the "Black Wings" It looks like a dead man with huge wings. They also say looking into its eyes can give you nightmares. If it's that scary, then that means it is also special.

"Ok every, all you all here?" Miss Konoka asked.

Every one called back at the same time. I guess we were all happy. Most of the students on the bus just wanted a day off from school to not do any work. I didn't come just for that. I came to see beauty.

"Rukia, after we explorer the museum, do you want to eat lunch together?" Hina asked pleasantly smiling as always.

"Sure Hina. Why wouldn't I sit with you? After all, we are best friends,"

"I guess your right,"

"So, what artwork do you think we will find? Maybe Victorian or maybe ancient times!"

"I don't know Rukia. All I want to do is escape physical education class. It's the worse!"

"I know, but is that what every one thinks about? Escaping classes? I mean, we're going to a magical adventure,"

Shortly, we arrived at the museum and I was jumpy. I mean, I could see the halls filled. I had to see each one, even the one that scares people.

"Alright class. Get off one by one…." Our teacher started to say and then I rushed off the bus.

"Never mind. Just go," She said shortly after.

I wondered the halls and Hina and I began to stare at each one. I had to take pictures. I was going to put it in my art gallery for later. I remembered each name and each detail for later. I would attempt at reconstructing my own later.

"Rukia slow down," Hina called out behind me.

I suddenly stopped and found myself staring at the "Black Wings"

"Rukia there you…." She looked up and fear spread through her eyes.

"I can't believe I'm seeing it. It's so large,"

"Let's get out of here," Hina said pulling on my collared shirt.

"Just give me a minute. You go on ahead. I'll catch up soon,"

I stopped to look at it closer. I heard what sounded like a voice in pain. It wanted to escape? I took a picture real quick and started walking off when two thugs stepped into my path.

Inside the black wings

"Damn it! Let me out!"

"It's no use. You'll never be able to escape,"

"Shut up Krad! I need to get out of here. I need to see Daisuke!"

"You won't be able to escape. We have been in here for five minutes Dark. What makes you think escaping will come easily?"

"I'll use all my power if I have to,"

"Good luck. Remember, you sealed us in here. The only way to escape is if the magic of the Dark Wings were to split us up again like last time,"

"Yeah, but last time was an accident. We were created to be one,"

"Hey, do you hear something?"

"Hear what?"

"Some one in pain. My favorite sound,"

"Shut up. It sounds like….Daisuke! I need to escape now!"

"You won't be able to. It won't work!"

"Yes it will!"

Suddenly a crack started to break the darkness they were in a small light appeared through the cracks.

"I'm almost there!"

"Stop it Dark! It won't work!"

The crack got larger and larger and then shattered into tiny pieces as the dark angel flew into the light.

"Told you it would work,"

"Damn you Dark!!!!"

Back in the museum

"Hello little girl. What do you have here? Hmm, a camera. Looks like this is ours now,"

"Give that back now!" I exclaimed, reaching for the item.

"Hmm, you'll never be able to get it,"

"Hey boss, how about we murder her instead?" The other goon asked.

"Great idea! Let's start with that annoying throat instead!"

I screamed and he held me tightly to where I couldn't see. I suddenly was knocked out and fell into darkness, but I felt like I wasn't alone.

"Daisuke? Are you ok?" It asked me.

"Daisuke? Who is Daisuke?" I answered back.

"He's a friend of mine. Have you seen him?"

"No, I'm sorry. My great grandfather has the same name,"

Suddenly, I woke up to friends and family surrounding me.

"Thank god you're alive. Are you alright?" My mother said as she clutched onto me.

"I'm fine mom. I am,"

"Why didn't you stick with Hina!? I was so worried about you when I heard you where lost and then I heard some guys were after you. I thought I lost you,"

"I'm sorry mom. I truly am,"

"You're just lucky some one saved you. No one could tell who it was in the security cameras. Just a dark presence leaned over you and left, but the guys there were knocked out cold,"

"That's strange because a while ago, I heard a voice,"

"Rukia, you know that strange boy who comes on the train with us?" Hina asked me.

"Yeah I know him. Why?"

"Well, when we were looking for you, he told us that he too also heard voices, but he heard them from the creepy artwork,"

"Wait I wasn't…. Well, what else did he say?"

"Well, he said that after he heard the two guys around the corner, he heard a another man yell. Saying something about Dark,"

"Dark?"

"Alright sweetie. I think it's time we get going. Say could bye to Hina,"

I waved good bye and mother took me home. She told me to sleep and forgot all that occurred, but how could I? So munch happened in one day. I still don't understand what happened. The voice, the word dark? That doesn't mean anything to me and mom also took me home after she said that word. Something is up. I know it.

That night, I heard the voice again in my sleep. Calling for "Daisuke" I wonder if he means my great grandpa? He is the only one I know with that name. Then I heard the voice give up.

"Excuse me? I'm sorry you can't find him, but I wanted to ask you something?"

"Go right ahead,"

"Did you save me earlier? At the museum?"

"I'm afraid I don't understand. I saved my friend Daisuke,"

"How could you save him when he wasn't there?"

"Wait, you know Daisuke?"

"I think the Daisuke you're looking for is my great grandfather,"

"Do you know where he is?"

"He passed away several years ago,"

"Years ago? How can that be? I thought he was fourteen?"

"No, he was Ninety-nine and was about to push one hundred,"

"This can't be. Eighty-five years have passed,"

"I'm afraid so,"

"Damn it! It's too late. I wanted to see him again,"

"I'm sorry. I have another question for you,"

"Sure, what is it?"

"What's your name?"

"My name, that's easy. They call me Phantom Thief Dark, but people prefer Dark,"

"Dark…Dark!"

Suddenly I woke up to the sun in my eyes. The alarm clock went off and I got ready for school.

"Mom, before I leave, I have a question to ask,'

"What is it sweetie?"

"Do you know a Phantom Thief Dark?"

"Never speak of that name again," She said and rushed me out the door.

Why is it that when I bring up the name, she just pushes it aside? Is there something she isn't telling me? I have to know! I'm afraid that whatever is going on, is about to deal with me in it.

School passed quickly and I was about to ask my crush to take me to the school dance coming up. I've been holding up, but I have the courage now to ask him. I walked up, took a big breath and then spoke loud and clearly.

"WOULD YOU TAKE ME TO THE SCHOOL DANCE!!!!!!?????"

"Oww, not that loud. Sorry Rukia. I'm already taking some one else. I've wanting to ask her out and she accepted my offer. We can be friends still right?"

"Friends… sure. I have to get going now. Bye Shikuka,"

My heart ached painfully I could imagine what my mom might say for being out late. Even a minute late she complains. I walked in the house I heard the yelling and went into my room. Nothing could make me happy, not even reading Tokyo Pop. He crossed my mind several times, like what my great grandfather told me about his first rejection. That's when it happened…. He returned once again…. Dark…...
