Hi there! Just a heads up, I based this on D.N Angel but there were some things that I tweaked so that it'll be more flexible in this story (you'll know the difference if you watched the anime mentioned – if not, that's okay too). Hope you'll enjoy reading!

Chapter 1:

Shade walked on the third floor of a luxurious hotel. Reflexively, he remembered the building's floor plans, the other possible escape routes and the valuable paintings on the walls. His eyes wandered on the antiques – examining them as he did so onto where it came from and how old it is. The boy didn't bother with the elegant designs of the hallways or even the opulence that comes with it, his only focus were the artworks surrounding it.

'Jeez, you're not even on a mission,' he reminded himself, 'This is a school trip you moron. Now find your room and take the time to relax.'

He sighed. The job of being a Phantom Thief is exhausting as hell. Every night, his mother would place a warning letter in a museum or some other landmarks and he would steal a particular artifact in the said area. It was a "family tradition" (as his mother told him), passing the name of Eclipse from generations to generations up to him. Still, he couldn't shake the feeling that stealing and sealing the different artworks has a much deeper meaning than just that. He tried to pester his mother about the real reason why the Phantom thief Eclipse was conceived but she had always found a way to change the subject.

Shade stopped at a room, checked its number and proceeded to turn the key in the door knob. It gave a satisfying "click!" and opened its way to reveal a grandiose room. The ceiling was adorned by a little chandelier, the walls were painted in a light green color and the floor was carpeted in red wool. It has a flat screen TV, a single massage chair and even a bathroom with a Jacuzzi. He looked at the two beds that were occupying the space. Both of it was given a generous amount of white pillows and its mattress was cloud-like in its softness. Shade decided to pick the bed near the balcony – 'If I ever need to go outside in a hurry,' and arranged his things in the closet.

When he was finished, he let himself on the balcony to sight-see. His elbows were leaning on the railings as he indulged himself on the beautiful scenery – the beach far ahead with the proud palm trees, the sparkling ocean and the limitless blue sky.

'It's nice to relax like this once in a while… Besides I really deserve a break, right?'

His thoughts were disrupted when he eyed the twins on the grounds of the hotel. Instantly, he recognized Rein as she walked side to side with her sister. She was wearing a simple summer dress but that was enough to make him flushed. Then he frowned, 'Get a grip, Shade. She doesn't like you, she likes Eclipse… and even though you could tell her the truth, she'll just get into more trouble because of you,' he rebuked himself, 'And I don't want to be yelled at by her older sister.'

He eyed Fine in her pink blouse and shorts. The sporty twin was laughing at something that her sister said and was captivated at how she could match the beautiful scenery before him. She was even more stunning than the beach or ocean or sky.

Shade stopped himself, 'What are you nuts? You like Rein! Why are you acting as if you like Fine!?' he thought, 'You like Rein,' he even repeated as if to assure himself.

These past few days he noticed how his unwavering feeling for Rein is in fact wavering because of Fine. There were so many moments when he questioned who he truly likes – his long time crush in the person of the blue-haired girl or the person who had always supported him in the guise of the red-haired twin.

'Ugh… this is troublesome.'

Just then, his phone rang. It was his mother and he had a bad feeling about this.
