Satoshi's daughter
Dear diary, it feels so good to be back in Japan. Father told me that we would be spending the night in a hotel near grandpa's house so we can get moved in early tomorrow. Ever since mom died three years ago dad has been more into his work than ever. Just recently an e-mail came from one of dads old friends from high school. Dad wouldn't let me read it so it must be top secret, because dad said that this matter had to be settled back home. So I'm pretty excited to be home, but for some reason I've started to feel weird. Sometimes I can even hear a voice saying my name even when I'm totally alone. I told dad the other day and he went so pale I complimented him on how much he looked like an angel. But for some reason he told me to never call him that again. PS my fourteenth birthday is coming up soon. – Love Rin.
Rin Hiwatari put her diary back into the secret pouch in her backpack, and looked over at her father in the driver's seat.
Satoshi felt his daughter looking at him from the back seat.
He carefully looked in the rear view mirror and looked back at his tired daughter for a few moments before saying,
"You know we still have a ways to go before we reach the hotel. You should use that time to get some sleep."
"Yeah I know it's just that once I fall asleep it takes awhile before I can get back up. You should know this."
She teasingly reminded her father making him think of the various times she fell asleep at the worst times imaginable.
"Good point. After all I don't want to be seen carrying you in."
Rin just laughed at this and turned her attention back to watching the lights go racing by and a huge display of lights could be seen a few blocks away.
Rin watched as the lights grew closer and closer and finally realized that her father was driving towards the lights.
"Dad what are you doing? The hotel's in the other direction." Rin asked as her father drove faster towards the lights.
"Do you remember the stories your mother and I always told you before you went to sleep? About the great Phantom Thief Dark? Well apparently he's back and this is the first time in years anyone's seen him. And I've been assigned to catch him." Just like when I was your age. He thought.
"Wait you mean the phantom thief who always got away from you and was the biggest womanizer of the century? That dark?" she asked in a thoughtful and serious voice.
"Yep the one and only. And this is why I've been training you ever since you were born. So that you could finally catch him and put him behind bars." He told her with confidence in his voice and a smirk on face.
Hmm … but this guy must be good if he could have evaded dad for so long. But no worries cause this is what I've trained for. Heh. Tonight Dark you will be mine!! You might have fooled my mother but I'm not even close to being like her. Rin thought while keeping her attention on the growing lights.
"Hey dad. Well grandpa be there too?" Rin asked out of curiosity.
"Probably. But you know you can't let the media see you. This might be a slight problem seeing as too how Saehara has a kid your age. Don't worry you'll meet at school tomorrow." He told Rin, but she already knew all this.
"Okay I'll drop you off and then tell the officer in charge that you're the new commanding officer in charge of catching Dark. And don't worry the first time I was in charge I didn't even get a good look at him. Be safe though, okay?"
"Don't worry dad I'll be fine. Besides I don't think people well have a problem with me seeing as to how I look more like you. And I think that if they remember you than they'll know who I am. So don't worry and I'll see you later." She said before she got out of the car and gave her father a farewell kiss on the cheek.
