-Chapter one
Of new rivals
And loves-
Daisuke smiled as he ran to school. Or more correctly, ran to the train to get to school. Today was the day that they'll get a student teacher. Today was also Risa's birthday!
(I have no clues on when her birthday is but just bare with me here alright?)
Daisuke tried to tame his spiky hair as he ran. He'd gotten a present made for his beloved Risa…but then, he remembered that he hadn't made a birthday present for Riku!
'OH NO!'
Daisuke searched around wildly trying to think of something that could serve as a birthday present for his crush's twin.
Seeing a flower shop he rushed towards it in frenzy. 'Um…which one? I'd better get flowers for Harada (Risa) too…'
He was so involved with wondering which flowers would be right that he didn't notice the person next to him. It resulted in him somehow tripping on his own feet and falling into that person.
"WHA! Gomenasai!" Daisuke bowed deeply to the person and started helping to pick up some books that they had dropped.
"It's no trouble" replied a cool voice. Daisuke finally looked up at the person whom he'd accidentally run into. He was a teen, and a male, Daisuke wasn't sure at first but then realized that it…no, HE was a male.
The young man seemed to be around 16 or so and had long red hair that shone brightly in the sun. His eyes were a bright yet deep emerald color that reminded Daisuke of grass and other various plants.
Something felt…off about the person…Daisuke wasn't sure what. It didn't feel like the corrupt magic of the artworks, or the icy chill of Krad's presence, it felt…like being with an animal, a predator who was currently just observing a prey but didn't feel like going after it.
Daisuke shuddered a bit. "Are you okay?" asked the stranger with concern. Daisuke blushed and jumped back up and handed the books to the teen before bowing low and stammering another apology. Daisuke then turned and rushed to the train.
Back at the flower shop Kurama frowned as he watched the other red head run off with the air of a kid who's about to miss the bus, or the train in this case. There was something…strange about that boy…
'It doesn't feel like reiki (spirit) energy…or youkai (demon) energy…'
-It's magic… -
Kurama paused a bit at his demon half's statement.
When Youko had possessed Shuuichi's unborn body, he took it over but his own self was fused with the body. As the body grew, the human emotions combined with the demonic memories and instincts and created a personality called Kurama. Kurama isn't Youko, Youko isn't Kurama, the two could communicate in a mind link at times and Youko would give random comments from time to time.
'Magic?'
-Yeah, that human's got magic…powerful too… -
Kurama sighed. Humans with magic…geez…he hoped there won't be any problems. As he shifted the books in his arms he started walking. As he went through the street he thought about why he was here in the first place.
Flashback time…
Kurama went to get the mail that morning as usual. 'Let's see…letter…bill…bill…postcard…national geographic…'
"Shuuichi? Anything interesting?"
"Just the usual Kaa-san."
'…bill…love letter…love letter…bill…love letter… (Sigh) love letter…black mail (Kurama put that one in his pocket)…invitation to a strip club (Kurama burned that one with a small flame bush) and… (What's this?) A letter of acceptance to participate in a half year student teacher program?'
"Kaa-san…what's this?"
Kurama went into the kitchen where his mother was currently scooping some rice out of the cooker and into some bowls for breakfast.
"Oh! It's here! Forgive me Shuuichi but I just had to sign you up for that program…I thought it would have been a good learning experience…"
"Oh…well, if Kaa-san thinks it's a good idea I guess I could go…"
"Oh Shuuichi! I'm so happy!"
Shori hugged her son tightly.
End flash back…
'Well…here I am I suppose…'
-Let's make a grand entrance! -
'Hush Youko…'
The demon pouted.
-You're no fun -
Kurama straightened his hair and clothes a bit before stepping into the school. Let's see what little human brats we'll be babysitting…
Meanwhile…
"H-ha-happy birthday…Harada-san…"
"Oh! Thank you so much Niwa-kun!"
Riku watched them. Daisuke went over to her and handed her a package. "Um…happy birthday Harada-san."
She took the box with a small blush. "Arigatou Niwa-kun."
Daisuke smiled before going to sit down. Riku looked over at her sister who was now cuddling a rabbit doll. Riku opened her own gift. 'Wha?'
It was a box with some freshly cut Acacia. The beautiful yellow flowers seemed to shine up at her. 'Flowers? Niwa-kun got me flowers?'
Riku quickly hid the golden blossoms away and tried to hide her blush. The teacher had told the class to quiet down and she began to take the roll. A knock on the door interrupted her. She told whoever it was to come in…
(Ookami- For those who don't know, An Acacia is a lovely yellow flower that, in the language of flowers, means something close to 'Secret Love' a rather fitting plant for Daisuke to give to Riku…)
0o0o0o0o0o0
Everyone quieted down as their new student teacher began to open the door. As soon as he stepped into the room, half the girls in class (and a small portion of the boys) suddenly felt their hearts swell up.
Standing there in front of the class was the most beautiful boy they'd ever seen. His long red hair curled up in random spikes and curls, his eyes were a beautiful shade of green that shone and glittered brightly in the light of the room.
He was lean and held himself straight and proper with no slouching and a sense of sureness in every step. His eyes looked around the room and stopped on Daisuke for a second before moving on.
Daisuke was frozen to his seat. The guy that he'd knocked over just a couple of minutes ago was his new student teacher. 'I AM IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!'
Kurama's thoughts were racing as well. 'So…it's the boy from before…the one with…magic…'
-Let's investigate…-
'No Youko…'
-No fun at all…-
The sensei decided to speak up now she asked the boy to introduce himself to the class. Kurama smiled at the class (and tried to ignore the squeals and swoons) "Hello, my name is Minamino Shuuichi it is very nice to meet you all."
Risa tried desperately to keep her heart faithful to her darling Dark-san but found it pretty hard as the red haired bishounen gave the class a smile while sunlight shone through the windows like heavens light descending upon an angel…
(I'm really going overboard here aren't I?)
'NO! MUST…STOP…THINKING…MUST…STAY…FAITHFUL…TO DARK-SAN!'
The sensei (I think their teacher is female…based on the manga…) was chiding herself for her rather hopeful thoughts about spending more time with her new assistant and decided to start the morning lesson.
Kurama helped the kids with the problems that they didn't understand (for some reason, they seemed to be unable to understand all the questions…) and soon school was over. As he hid behind a corner to observe that Niwa Daisuke boy some more, he noticed that the boy seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere.
'Odd…'
-Yay! Let's go and stick our noses into other peoples business!-
'Hush'
-Fine! I'll be quiet then! It's so nice to know how much I'm appreciated… (Sarcasm)-
Kurama only shook his head in annoyance as he hid behind another alley.
Daisuke sighed as he ran home. Dark was distracting him all day and he couldn't concentrate on anything, his curse kept giving Daisuke wary comments about his new student teacher.
/There's something strange about him…/
'You've been saying that all day and nothing has happened yet…'
/Just be careful…oh and you do remember that we're stealing the Sorrowful Child painting tonight right?/
'Yes I know!'
Daisuke sighed. Why couldn't he just have a normal life…?
Kurama made a note of where the magic wielding boy lived before heading home himself, home as in the guestroom of his temporary family during his stay here.
Kurama went into the house and was almost run over by a rather hyped up Takeshi holding his almost ever present video camcorder.
"Oh, hi Shuuichi-san! Sorry, no time to talk, Dark would be showing up in a couple of minutes and I want to be able to catch it on video…"
Kurama blinked. "Who's Dark?"
Takeshi was still running but managed to turn and give Kurama a look of bewilderment. "You don't know who Dark is? Oh yeah, I forgot you're new to this town, Dark is the Kaitou (Phantom Thief) who's always stealing artworks from the museums and everything here."
"A thief?"
-He can't possibly be that good…I'm the best after all…-
Kurama ignore his other half as he ran alongside with the boy whose family he was staying with for the time being.
Takeshi continued babbling, "Darks been stealing things for years and no ones ever caught him…but my dad's the police chief and we will get him!"
Takeshi went off on a fantasy dream world where you see him standing over Dark and laughing.
Kurama pondered. A thief eh? Maybe he should give this Dark a run for his money…
'Youko…quit putting these thoughts in my head'
-But I wanna check it out! Please? Pretty please?-
'We'll see…'
Meanwhile…
'Dark please be careful!'
/I'm always careful Daisuke!/
Dark gave the reporters thumbs up as he swooped past them on Wiz. He chuckled as the police force yelled angrily at the mocking gesture.
'Why me…' Daisuke moaned, tears rolling down his eyes as he screamed at Dark inside their head.
They sneaked into the building and past the guards (who were just standing there like toy soldiers) and made it to the room where the painting should be. Dark gasped as the painting wasn't there.
"What the heck is this?"
Dark saw Satoshi lying in a corner. He seemed to be knocked out. 'Hiwatari-kun!' Daisuke cried in their mind.
Dark ran over and checked Satoshi. The boy was only asleep but it seemed to have been a forced sleep, like he's been drugged by something. Darks eyes widened as he saw that there was a monkshood flower growing out of the ground near Satoshi's foot.
Monkshood, a poisonous flower associated with warnings of danger. Beware, a deadly foe is near.
Movement out of the corner of his eye made Dark jump up and spread his wings warily. Straining his senses he heard running footsteps going out the west wing of the museum.
So…another thief has been through here eh?
He ran off after the footsteps with a determined grin. Whoever you are…you've messed with the wrong thief…
Youko was seriously enjoying himself. Kurama had finally let him take over if only to stop his endless whining and he'd gotten away from Takeshi to get inside the museum himself.
He ran off with the painting and smelled another person entering the room. Youko hid himself again and slowly inched in the direction of the door to the west wing.
A handsome teen with dark purple hair and black wings ran into the room and checked on the sleeping boy before spotting the flower. Youko moved a bit more and then just plain dashed into the hallway when the teen spotted him.
When he'd went into the room with Dark's target in it, that blue haired boy (Kurama remembered him from class) was standing there and he'd actually seen where Youko was hiding.
Flashback…
"Who are you?"
The glasses flashed in the moonlight as Satoshi glared up at Youko. That thing up there was not human. That much he could sense from its strange energy. It was similar and yet completely different from Krad, Dark and the artworks. Like two liquids that were the same color but had different tastes.
But either way, Satoshi knew that whatever it was, it wasn't good. He prepared himself to defend himself as the thing leapt to attack him.
However, he wasn't expecting a strange plant to start growing out of the things hands and spew out a white pollen that drifted towards him. Instinctively he held his breath but the thing punched him lightly in the gut to make him gasp and inhale.
That was all the Hikari could do as he fell to the ground asleep.
End flashback…
Youko smirked. Then he'd left a message for the other thief…oh he hadn't had this much fun since the time he found a bag of fox-nip…
He heard Dark chasing after him in the hallways and sped up a little. The chase was always fun. The thrill of escaping your pursuers and the throbbing of your heart as you get in close encounters was the reason he's started his profession as a thief (aside from the fact that getting things for free was a huge plus.)
-It's time we see just how good you really are…Kaitou Dark…-
