A Party of Five.

Steal #1: The White and Black.

It was another clear night and everybody is asleep quietly, peacefully, and comfortably on his/her bed. Well, almost everybody…

"It's him!"

"It's Dark!"

"He's got The Mermaid's Teardrop!"

"Get him!"

Dark himself is a black shadow, leaping from roof to roof, leaving the cops behind to eat his dust.

"Ha ha ha, that was way too easy, wasn't it Wiz?"

"Kyuu," the wolf-like animal with wings replied.

"Hiwatari wasn't there to get in my way. Stealing something that doesn't belong to the Hikaris seem pointless to me," said Dark.

"Don't complain!" Daisuke said from inside of Dark. "I really don't want to have to face Satoshi in a battle again."

"You mean his other freak-self?" asked Dark.

"Yes, Krad…"

As soon as those words came out of Daisuke's mouth, a flash of white disrupted the clear black sky.

"What was that?" asked Dark.

"Krad!" Daisuke replied wearily.

"No. No wings this time."

"Where is it now?" asked Daisuke.

"Not 'it'," said Dark."' He'."

Dark turned around and took a look at the figure standing in front of him. It was a guy in his late teens wearing a white tuxedo and a white hat. His white cape is fluttering behind him and he's staring down at Dark smugly. The full moon behind him is shining brightly.

Dark narrowed his eyes and hissed, "Who are you?"

" I really think that it will make no difference whether you know me or not," the man answered him, still smiling coldly. He suddenly leaped and Dark once again sees the white blur, but this time it was coming toward him.

"Dark, LOOK OUT!" warned Daisuke.

Dark just prepared to go airborne when he suddenly felt somebody grabbing him from behind.

"Damn!" Dark cursed.

"Look, I don't know who you are, but it seems that we have similar taste in things. I hope we'll never have to meet again" The man released Dark and released a light bomb.

"Crap! I can't see anything," Dark shouted.

Slowly regaining his vision Dark looked around.

"Dark, he's gone!" said Daisuke.

"I can see that," said Dark.

"Kyuu!"

"What's wrong Wiz?" asked Dark.

"Kyuu, kyuu, kyuuu!" said Wiz.

"WHAT!" Dark shouted.

"What's wrong Dark?" asked Daisuke.

"That creep took our Mermaid's Teardrop!"

"WHAAAAT?" shouted Daisuke.

"Aaargh! I'm gonna get that bastard!" cursed Dark as he flew into the night.

Steal #1 end.
