Chapter 1 - Arrival
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, nor do I make money off of this story.
Summary: A mysterious person using Dark's second name, The Phantom Thief, appears and starts stealing many artifacts. The Niwa family is in for a big shock when they realize just who this thief is. But here's the question; who is this imposter?
The city streets were silent as the roads were illuminated by lamps. It had been almost five months since Daisuke and Riku started dating, and Dark had once again been sealed away.
A girl with short brown hair gazed at the distance from her balcony. The starry sky seemed to make her shine.
"I wonder how Daisuke is doing." she wondered.
"Riku! I'm done with the bath!" someone yelled from inside.
The girl named Riku walked inside, and closed the sliding door. The small breeze carried a black feather, and it landed on the balcony.
"Hey Risa, drink your tea. It's going to get cold."
Another girl with long brown hair was sitting on the bed, staring intently at the TV screen infront of her.
"Riku, did you hear? The reporters say Dark is going to come and steal the moonstone bracelet tomorrow night at ten. I got to see him again!" Risa squealed.
"That's impossible Risa. Dark is gone for now." Riku replied as she walked into the bathroom.
"Daisuke! Come down here!"
A boy with red hair came jogging down the stairs. His mother did not look pleased.
"Daisuke, why are you using Dark's name? You have a bit of a fever and are in no condition to steal an artifact!" his mother lectured.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm not going to go steal anything! That was Dark's job!"
"The police say they've received a note that the moonstone bracelet is going to be stolen. It was signed 'The Phantom Thief'." Daisuke's dad adds.
"Well, it wasn't me." defends Daisuke.
"Who do you think it was then?" asks the maid, Towa.
"I'm going to catch this imposter once and for all!" Daisuke's mom says as she stomps upstairs.
The next day would be a Monday, so Daisuke headed upstairs and went to bed.
"Hey Daisuke, did you hear the big news?" asks a classmate as he slings an arm around Daisuke.
"Yeah, I have. What are you going to do, Takeshi?"
"I'm going to be there and report of course! And maybe some pictures. You know, for all the girls." Takeshi replies.
There was a slight breeze during P.E. Daisuke and Takeshi were talking when a black feather drifts in front of them.
"Hey, look at this!" Takeshi says picking up the feather. "This could belong to Dark!"
"It could just be a crow's feather or something too." Daisuke remarks.
"If it is one of his feathers, that means Dark is nearby." Takeshi says as he ignores Daisuke's comment.
"KYAAA!" a lot of the girls suddenly scream.
A strong wind had come up and was blowing leaves and equipment everywhere.
Everyone quickly settled down, but on the ground was another black feather.
"And he's here! After a five month absence, the Phantom Thief has returned!" a reporter cried out.
In the sky was a person. The black angel wings glided this person smoothly across the night sky. This person had long purple bangs, and voluminous hair that was mid-back length.
"I have to record this!" Takeshi said. He scrambled around on the tree branch looking for his camera. "Is that really Dark?" he questioned after looking through the lens. "He's really let himself go; looks like a hippie with that hair!"
Five dreadfully long minutes passed. The crowd outside the museum was dead silent. Suddenly, the alarms went off.
"Dark is gone!" An officer announced.
"The bracelet is nowhere to be found!" said another.
Riku was on the balcony, as Risa was watching the news live. The sliding door was closed.
"I better get in now." Riku said.
As she was walking to the door, a slight breeze came.
Tmp tmp.
Riku heard the sound of something landing. And that something was on the balcony behind her.
Riku turned around. Before she could react, a hand covered her mouth as another arm wrapped around the front of her neck and pinned her to the attacker's body.
"I don't want to hurt a little girl like you." a feminine voice said quietly. "I need to hide for a bit, so stay quiet and I won't hurt you."
Riku glanced to the left and say a wing; an angel wing. There's no way it could be Dark. It was impossible!
Or was it?
The two stayed silent. Riku had remembered her first experience with Dark, and didn't want it to happen again. The arms slowly slid off of Riku.
"Thank you." was the last thing that Riku heard.
Riku had seen it. The flow-y purple hair, the black angel feathered wings, the dark colored outfit. But something didn't match up. Why was Dark's voice different and his hair longer? And why was his body so slender?
"Daisuke said Dark was sealed. Did he lie to me?"
Yup, chapter 1. Hopefully it wasn't too confusing. R&R please.
