Briiing!
That was the final bell for the last day of school. All the middle schoolers ran out of the building, throwing their old notes into the air, well most of the students anyway. Daisuke Niwa quietly gathered his things as his friends Riku, Risa, and Saehara waited for him at the door.
"Come on, Daisuke! If I'm going to make Editor on the high school newspaper, then we must get to work now!" Saehara said impatiently to his friend.
"School's over and you're still talking about the newspaper?" Riku sighed while closing her eyes.
"Of course! Nothing is going to happen this summer without me knowing about it!" he said and pointed to his chest with his thumb as Daisuke came over.
"Okay. I'm ready," Daisuke smiled and slung his book bag over his shoulder. The four of them walked through the school in silence. As soon as they reached outside, Risa suddenly broke it.
"I wonder what the boys will be like in high school," she said with sparkles in her eyes and her hands came together over her chest.
"Not this again," Riku mumbled and slapped her forehead with her hand.
"I bet they're really cute and good looking," Risa continued while clasping her hands together in front of her chest. "But they won't compare to Phantom Thief Dark."
"Ah! Do you ever talk about anything else? Dark this! Dark that! I don't get why you like that pervert!" Riku shouted apparently sick of her twin sister's obsession with the mysterious thief.
"He's not a pervert! He is a perfect gentlemen," Risa fought back and the two sisters started to argue.
Daisuke sighed heavily and opened his mouth to talk to Takeshi but when he looked next to him, Takeshi was no where to be found. Daisuke continued to look around to look for his friend when a voice suddenly came to Daisuke's ear and to his ear only.
"Hey look! The twins are fighting over me!" the voice said.
"Dark, there's a difference between 'fighting over' and 'fighting about'," Daisuke told Dark through his throughts and sighed.
"It's practically the same thing."
"Not really, Dark."
"Hey, Niwa!" he heard Riku call out his name, and he immediately turned his attention to her.
"Yes, Miss. Riku?"
"Isn't Kaiya coming home today?" she asked in a curious way.
"Kaiya?" Daisuke said confused. Then his eyes widened as he remembered what his mother said that morning.
"Be home no later than 3:32 and 23 seconds because that's when Kaiya will arrive."
"Oh no! I completely forgot!" Daisuke yelled and looked at the clock tower nearby. It said 3:10. "No! I'm gonna be late!" Daisuke ran from the Harada sisters to the trolley.
"Tell her I said hi! 'Kay, Niwa?" Riku's faint voice was heard.
"Uh-huh!" he panted. Daisuke wasn't sure if Riku heard, but he was more worried about getting home before his mother killed him.
"Who's Kaiya?"
Daisuke ignored Dark as he tired to catch his breath on the trolley.
"Daisuke!"
"I'm gonna be late!" Daisuke thought and ran off the trolley once it stopped and the door opened.
"Late for what? Who is Kaiya?"
"Can't talk now, Dark. I'm going to be late to see Kaiya!"
"That's what I want to know. Who's Kaiya?"
"Yes, I made it," Daisuke smiled happily still ignoring the thief who was trying to get his attention. He opened the door to see his mother smiling at him.
"Right on time," she said in her cheerful voice.
"Hi, Mom," Daisuke greeted tiredly from the rush home. "When's Kaiya coming home? Is she here yet?"
"'Home'? She lives here?"
"Not yet," she continued to smile and went to the kitchen with Daisuke following close behind. "She should be here later."
A soft doorbell ran through the air and Daisuke's face flowed with delight. "I got it!" he yelled and ran to the front door. "Hello-," Daisuke opened the door and widened his eyes when he realized who was on the other side. "Saehara! What are you doing here?"
Right there at the door stood Saehara in a black tuxedo and a bow tie. In one hand he held a heart shaped box with a bow on it that held chocolates and in the other hand he held a bouquet of flowers of different colors. He also brushed his hair straight back so he looked like a secret agent.
"Is Kaiya home yet?" he asked with a large grin.
"Uh, no. She won't be home until later," Daisuke told his love struck friend. "I'll tell her when she arrives that you were looking for her"
"Oh there's no need to do that, Daisuke. I'll just come by after Dark's steal tonight and I have to be there tonight. Bye," and with that said, Takeshi rushed down the street.
Daisuke just sighed as he closed the door. It took a moment but what Takeshi just said finally went into Daisuke's head and he ran into the kitchen.
"Mom! Dark's going to steal tonight?" he complained to his mom. "I can't do it tonight. Kaiya will be here and she doesn't know about Dark"
"Everything will be fine, Dai. Don't worry so much," his mother assured him.
"But what if she finds out?"
"She won't find out. You will just have to keep it quiet while around her," she said and continued to smile. "Which reminds me You need to change to Dark."
"Why now? The stealing isn't for a while," Daisuke said confused. He never turned to Dark this early before a steal so it seemed a little strange to him.
"Because Dark has to meet Kaiya in about twenty minutes," Emiko cheerfully said.
"What?! Why does Dark have to meet here"
"Yes! My questions will be answered!" Dark cheered in Daisuke's head.
"Calm down, Daisuke," his grandfather suddenly appeared in the room. "Kaiya knows about Dark. She just doesn't know about the family curse. So you have to keep that a secret also. Now, you must change into Dark before he's late."
"Fine," Daisuke mumbled and then changed into Dark.
Dark stretched his arms out and yawned. "Finally."
Emiko walked to Dark and said, "Now, Dark. You have to go to the forest that's by the clock tower. Kaiya will be waiting for you in there"
"Seems easy enough. Who is she anyway?" Dark said smoothly, excited to actually get an answer.
"That is something you're going to have to find out on your own," Emiko sang.
With a heavy sigh of disappointment, he asked, "Why's that?"
Emiko ignored Dark's question and gave him some clothes. "Change into these so that people don't recognize you. Now hurry before you're late"
Dark sighed and quickly rushed out of the room so that he could meet this mysterious girl.
New story!!! Well, maybe not so new. It's been on my Quizilla account for a while so that would be the reason why it kind of sucks. Oh well! Hope you like it!
