After seeing there weren't that many well written new thief stories, I chose to write my own. Don't ask about the names of the museums and artifacts I just came up with random stuff. And when Dark and Daisuke are having a conversation whoever is inside will speak between /slashes./ (Sometimes they will talk without speaking in that case the one outside will have two //slashes//) I hope you all enjoy!

The reporter began her story standing outside of the Minshin Museum where Dark was going to steal the newly arrived artifact, the Singing Pearl. Commander Hiwatari had set a menagerie of traps for the thief, which undoubtedly would fail. Dark made his way past the alarms and different forms of capture easily until he reached the room where the pearl was held. He stopped where he stood when he noticed it was gone. "Satoshi, now that's just not fun."

"Who's Satoshi?" A smirking voice came from the shadow the case cast on the ground. The darkness shifted and began to rise up into the form of a person. Their head was tilted down so long silvery hair hid their face. Under a gray trench coat that came close to her ankles was a white tube top. Holding tightly to their waist but hanging comfortably around their legs was a pair of black shorts with multiple pockets and pouches. A pair of white sandals held onto her feet using straps to wind up to her knees. They turned their head so their hair slid back and she looked at him through knowing golden eyes. Her lips twisted up into a wicked smirk as she tossed a blue orb up and down in the air. "Looking for this?"

"How did you know? Why don't you toss that over to me?" Dark said to her using his most seductive voice while stepping closer.

"Nah, I think I'll keep it. It's very pretty." She turned her head to look at the pearl when she stopped tossing it from a black gloved hand. Dark took the chance to get closer to her but just before he got near enough to grab it from her hand, she jumped to land on the unbroken glass case that used to hold the pearl.

At this time Satoshi chose to enter the room, "What happened Dark? Losing your touch in your old age?"

"Oh, I'm hurt by that. Why do you have to be so mean?" Dark said putting his hand to his head in false sorrow. He immediately 'recovered' and turned to the newcomer, "Who are you? And how dare you steal what I was going to steal!"

She chuckled darkly and closed her eyes as she responded, "The name's Lunari, and I needed a little reputation so why not outdo the great phantom thief Dark? Now that I have what I came for…" She snapped her fingers and the windows behind her flew open. She pushed off the case and went through the open exit. As Lunari began to plummet to the ground, a hole that was buttoned closed on the back of her coat opened up and white wings with black feathers speckled within stretched out and lifted her away from the nearing earth below. Black feathers floated down to the ground as she rose. Lunari looked up to see Dark flying down towards her and just as he was about to catch her she flew backwards out of his reach. He turned and flew up and grabbed her ankle. This caused her to turn and use her wings to try and get him off since her hands were currently busying themselves with trying to put the pearl in one of the many pouches on her shorts.

Wiz changed back to his rabbit form and clung to Dark's back so as not to get hurt by the impending wings. Both Dark and Lunari noticed that minus one pair of wings and another not working to keep off the ground wasn't a good idea. Lunari stopped attacking and tried to fly upwards but Dark still had her ankle and his weight was dragging her down.

"Wiz!" Hearing his master's call, Wiz changed back into the wings and pulled Dark up into the air. The two separated and Lunari quickly left the scene with the pearl in her possession.

/Not my fault, so you're gonna tell Mom what happened when we get back./ Daisuke told Dark as her silhouette disappeared into the moonless sky. They both flinched at the thought of Emiko and no stolen artwork.

"You sure you don't want to take care of that? I mean you've known her much longer than I have." He asked the boy trying to get out of the oncoming pain.

/No way! I want to live; I only have one life unlike you./ Daisuke's voice reasoned.

"Darn, you've got a point." By now they were hovering over the Niwa home. In a last attempt Dark asked, "Rock, paper, scissors?"

/No!/

"Fine then, you leave me no choice." Dark landed on the ground and transformed back into Daisuke.

"Daaaark!" Daisuke yelled but quickly slapped a hand over his mouth. Both were silent listening for Emiko to come and welcome them home.

/Maybe if we're just really quiet she won't hurt us until the morning./ Dark suggested from his hiding place in Daisuke.

"I'm not a phantom thief! You sneak us up into the room!" Daisuke whispered harshly at his other half.

/Why?/

"… I'm scared…" He turned his head down towards the ground. Before either said anymore Daisuke thought of Risa and the began the transformation.

"Oh no, I'm not doing this!" Dark began yelling but worked it down to a whisper quickly. He thought of Riku and Daisuke was back, and thus the war began.

Emiko decided that by now the boys should have come home and turned on the news. The reporter was closing up on her report, "You have just seen the phantom thief Dark been beaten at his own game. Commander Hiwatari, the officer in charge of the Dark investigation and capture team, only released the new thief's name as Lunari. For those just tuning in we will play back the clip of Lunari that we caught." Then a short video played of Dark clinging to her ankle trying to get the pearl through her attacks.

"Emiko, do you hear that?" Daiki asked his daughter from his nearby seat on the couch.

"Huh?" She turned down the volume on the TV and listened closely.

"Risa! ... Riku! ... Risa! … Riku! ... Risa! … Riku! ... Risa! … Riku! ... Risa! … Riku! ... Risa! … Riku!" Constant yells were coming from just outside the front of the house.

Emiko let out a sigh, "Those're my boys." She got up and began planning a meal for the two in one out front. "What do you think dad?"

"I'm betting they're worried that you're mad that the artifact made it away," He said distantly.

She opened the door and the boys stopped shouting the girl's names as light poured onto the lawn. They were caught just as it was Dark's turn to be out. "Umm… Riku!"

They switched places and poor Daisuke was in the supposed line of fire. He blushed and ran into the house, nearly tripping over Dark-length pant legs. Emiko went into the kitchen and made sure not to set off any of her traps. The meal was finished being prepared as Daisuke came down the steps to his room. He sat down at the table and stared at the plate in front of him.

/Poison?/ Dark asked as Daisuke poked the meal with his fork. (A/N I don't care if they do or don't use chopsticks! I'm sticking to the utensils I know how to use decently well.)

//Could be…//

/Well, eat up!/

//I'm greatly considering letting you eat it.//

/We share the body, so it won't make a difference…/

//Yeah, but…// Daisuke sighed and transported the food into his mouth and waited for something to happen, an explosion, cuts from fiberglass, nothing! He was still afraid of something painful but he ate the meal nonetheless.

"Daisuke! You have school tomorrow, get some sleep!" Emiko shouted from the room where the artwork was held. He stood up and went to the sink in the kitchen to put away the plate. On the way he had to dodge multiple traps, and at the sink, just as he put the plate down the floor opened up into a black abyss.

Daisuke flipped back onto the floor and walked sleepily up to his room.

Hoped you liked the first chapter, I'll try to update quickly but be warned I have a few other fics that I need to work on.
