Hey, readers! This is KuraiSeken here. Please enjoy the fanfic that I've toiled over just for you! (Actually, this was first written a bit ago and the idea started when my Drama class had a substitute teacher who told us to write a story based on what would happen if someone found a black box, but anyway…) So, ENJOY and please R&R

Chapter I

Shippai shita!

It was a cool Friday afternoon and my friend Satoshi and I were walking home from school, his blue hair swished about in the wind and his sapphire eyes seemed to twinkle behind his glasses as he smiled sweetly at me. I always thought that he fancied me ever since we met when we were 10 years old, but now we were 15, and in the 9th grade, I was almost sure of it.

"So, Dark, whose house are we dining at tonight?" Dark isn't my real name (as if I - a 15 year old girl – could be the Infamous Phantom Thief Dark), it's my nickname. Satoshi is the only one who calls me that because he and I are the only ones who know my first name – Kurai – means "dark". Because of our friendship, (and us being total opposites) I call Satoshi "Krad".

What also made us such good friends was the fact we were both sets of twins, our twins both looking nothing like us. My twin was called Akai and had red hair that she had cropped just below ear level… herself. She was a little shorter than me and even though I had a longer nose I was admittedly the cool looking one while she looked pretty childish. Satoshi's twin was called Shiro and had blond hair that was very long and wavy. Shiro was a strange boy for he a very obsessive and persuasive person who would call Satoshi "Satoshi-sama" if he ever wanted a favour.

What was even weirder was the way he styled his hair: He tied an ornate metal cross the length and width of my hand to his extremely long ponytail, and he also had a very long frond of hair at the front. Even though his hair is as long as he is tall, and carries the burden of the cross, it seems to float above the ground as though weightless, and never touches it. His eyes were amber and every time he looked at you, a wave of malevolence seemed to emanate from them

"Mine," I answered him "we went to your house last Friday, where you cooked use that sushi dinner."

"Won't Mrs Kaitou mind?"

"No she won't, she loves to cook too much to refuse"

"O.k." He then took off his glasses and tucked them into the breast pocket of his school shirt before shouting; "Race you there!" as he ran off in front, leaving me to catch him up.

"Wait for me, Krad!" I shouted as I ran, my long dark purple hair nearly covering my eyes. I didn't dye my hair purple; I was born with it that colour. No one knows why – not even Krad does, and he's the brainiest kid at Onamuza middle school – but my Mum has her suspicions, though she won't tell me any of them!

We were now neck and neck and I knew that my house wasn't very far away at this point. I also knew of a shortcut in the form of an alleyway that was just around the corner. As I ran, I trained my amethyst eyes to look out for the shortcut… and there it was! I turned into it so fast that Krad ran straight past it and carried on going down the long cut.

I was running at top speed now and getting faster. I was nearly at the end of the alleyway, when suddenly I tripped. I felt as though I had flown through the air before hitting the ground with a "THUD!" I sat up and looked over my shoulder… and saw nothing but a box that had been painted black in the middle of the alleyway. From how I had tripped over it, it must have full to the brim with bits and bobs. I slowly stood up, walked towards it, and picked it up. I expected it to be really heavy, but it wasn't, it was surprisingly light. I could hear footsteps behind me. I tried to keep calm but as the person shouted "BOO!!" I dropped the box in shock. I whizzed round to see Krad laughing his head off like a loon on loon pills.

"Krad, you idiot!" I punched him in retaliation and laughed as I saw him tumble to the ground in pain. Suddenly, I heard the sound of great wings flapping. I turned to watch as some kind of spirit raised up from inside the box. I couldn't believe my eyes, but after rubbing my eyes repeatedly, and seeing the spirit take shape, it was true: I had indeed released something… something that – I will soon realize – wasn't meant to be.

Author's note: Hi it's me, KuraiSeken. This is my first fanfic so sorry if it doesn't sound right but it WILL GET BETTER!!!!! All of the chapter titles are in Romaji (the English version of Japanese) so to help you out, at the end of each chapter I'll tell you what the chapter title means. This one means: "I Made a Mistake!". THANK YOU! Please R&R!!!!!!! XD

Oh, and Krad's little angel, I made a couple of mistakes when uploading it onto the site so I've redone it just for you!
