(Hajime!)
It was late night, yet Daisuke was still awake.
He lay stretched out on the bed on his belly, head resting on his elbows.
Before him was a photo album, covered with pictures of him and his family. One picture caught his eye, and he found himself staring at it, lost in word.
A cocky, purple haired boy grinned up at him, dressed in all black and flashing his famous "thumbs up" sign.
"Dark," He said to no one in particular.
'How long had it been', he wondered, feeling his eyes well up. 'How long since you disappeared from my life...'
Holding back a sob, he remembered all the times he had with Dark. He remembered how miserable he'd felt when he completed his first mission, and realizing he was stuck this way forever. Or so he thought. He remembered his sorrow when the girl of his dreams had her heart stolen by the Phantom Thief, and how hard he worked to get it back.
Yet, there was the good with the bad.
He remembered the time when he was trapped in the snow world, and Dark had come to rescue him; how the Kaitou had cheered him on after he had his first kiss with Riku, and most of all, the time when Daisuke had lost himself, only to be rescued by Dark....
He no longer could share memories. He could only live in the past; clutching those memories close to his heart....
Rolling over onto his stomach, Daisuke started through the open sunroof above his bed. It was dark now, and stars littered the cloudless sky. Daisuke pointed out each constellation, saying its name inside his head. But there was no one there to hear him, not anymore.
When Dark had been there, he would tease Daisuke about them. He'd never cared for Daisuke's interest in the constellations, and often told the boy to shut up. Back then, Daisuke had hated it, but nowadays, he almost missed hearing the phantom thief laugh at him.
A noise woke Daisuke out of his reverie.
Sitting up straight, he listened intently, trying to make sense of it.
Seconds later, he identified the sound. It was footsteps.
Someone was walking through his house.
His mind rapidly sorted through the situation.
It could be anyone in his family, but thinking that only told Daisuke he was denying the obvious.
At his house, no one wandered the halls at night.
'It's an intruder,' he came to the realization.
Someone had broken into his house...
Armed with only a small dagger, Daisuke made his way through the hall. He had already decided that, based on the distance, the noise was coming from the family room.
And though it had been a few minutes since Daisuke had heard the footsteps, it seemed that the intruder hadn't moved. Hadn't moved at all.
He entered the family room cautiously, being careful not to make a sound.
No such luck.
Daisuke winced slightly as he heard the sound of his bare foot smack against the tile floor. He sighed to himself in disgust. Dark would never have made such a mistake...
'But Dark's not here now, is he?' he thought bitterly.
Shaking his head, he tried to clear his thoughts and focus on the matter at hand. Wallowing in self-pity could wait till later.
"Are you looking for me?" a familiar voice called out from the darkness.
Seconds before the lights turned on, Daisuke caught sight of a dark figure standing near a couch.
In the light, Daisuke gaped at the figure before him.
From behind thin-lensed glasses, a pair of icy, blue eyes stared at him, void of any warmth.
Daisuke gulped. "H-Hiwatarikun?"
He took a deep breath and tried to compose himself.
"H-How are you?"
Satoshi looked at the red head for a moment then shook his head.
"No time for pleasantries, Niwakun. More important matters are at hand."
Daisuke blinked at him in surprise. Important matters? He didn't like the sound of that....
He sat down in a sofa, resisting displaying the shock he felt upon meeting Satoshi in his family room at two o'clock in the afternoon.
He hastily buried the still sheathed knife in his pocket and looked up attentively to hear what Satoshi had to say.
"Krad's back." He said matter-of-factly, but Daisuke could sense the fear in his voice.
Sataoshi collapsed into the sofa beside Daisuke. He looked at his hands, sadly, avoiding Daisuke's worried glance.
"Krad has returned," he repeated. Then he buried his head in his hands, unable to hold back the sobs. "He's come back...and it's my entire fault."

AN:
Kaitou- phantom thief. Much cooler sounding (in the English version, it's spelled "Kaitoh")
