Monday. While I was walking down the street to my office, I thought about my live, and what I've reached so far…..To put it in a nutshell…..I reached nothing…

Now I am 22, I quit the High school when I was around 17…

I always knew that I wasn't a good student, but my Mom simply didn't want to  understand it, she always claimed that my grades were only so bad( That's not the word for it!) cause of my "Night job". Well, I don't know what you suggest a "night job" might be.. I didn't work in a bar, working in a bar would have been a pleasure….

No, I worked as "Dark" that mysterious and beloved (concerning the girls) thief!

Now, you think this sounds pretty interesting? Then you're wrong!

Or how would you like it, if it is around 1 o'clock am, you have a pleasant dream, and suddenly your crazy mother  storms the room, wakes you up via a trumpet concert(I always hated it when she played trumpet, since even a pig could play better than her….)?

Well, within 2 seconds she always dropped my out of the bed, dressed me, gave me the order for the next assignment (mainly stealing stupid things, earlier owned by our family at least she claimed that) and kicked me out of the house… Well, In the darkness I ran through the city to the target, every time I was on a robbery , I wondered  if she even worried about if I might kick the bucket…..I always felt no…She was sooo terribly selfish, I couldn't stand it anymore, being Dark ev'ry night, and risking my life for just….nothing! That's what it was!

After all I pushed off from home and let dropped school.

If you believe it or not, she even didn't care a fuck! She'd never called me and she never tried to find me either…

Probably she thought that I just took the piss out of her. But after I was gone for over a year she should have recognized that it was no joke at all.

Well, I forgot to mention something:

Riku, my High school girlfriend, she joined me! I didn't even had to convince her, she simply packed her belongings and quit of school too. But unlike me, she wrote a letter to her parents, that they should not worry about her and all that stuff you tell you parents if you leave em.

Finally, we went to Tokio and to stay above water I applied for a job as a detective.

You might think, why a detective? Well, easy to answer, since I've been a thief for around…

3 or 4 years, I knew all tricks of em.

So it shouldn't be difficult for me to catch em….well, and now I am 22, and during  5 years of being a detective I solved around………..ZERO criminal cases….Great, isn't it?

Well, unfortunately my boss doesn't think that way…I wonder, why I have not already got the sack.

As I arrived at my office, I was surprised, cause the light was already turned on.

Though my work starts at 7 am I never came before 9, cause to my mind it's simply inhuman and brutal to make somebody coming to work so early!

Now I was really confused, why the hell was the light on, in case I wasn't in my office yet?

I decided to solve the mystery by opening the door and going in.

I had to control my hands, since they might have strangled Saga, who lounged  in my office chair.

"Oh! The great and absolutely unsuccessful Niwa-kun, here in my mediocre Realm?"

I hated his "hideous victory grin"

"Oh, you must be daft! This is still MY office! And now move your stupid ass outta here!"

One more minute with him and I would explode….

"Oh dear! Don't make an ass of yourself! Exactly since…."

He took a look at his awful designer  watch.

"…….2 hours this is now my office"! In case you don't know it yet, you have been kicked out of this business!"

Again his "victory smile".

Oh, I swear, if I would not have known about the consequences I would have killed him that moment! Of course I didn't want to begrudge him his triumph about me….

"So what of it!" I said as quietly as possible.

"Guess what, I wanted to give in my notice to our dear chef anyhow.

So it just fits! I wish you much luck at getting mouldy here! "

I ignored his superfluous jabber and shut the door behind me and ran out of the house.

Arriving outside I took a deep breath, it was winter, and it was calming to feel the cold snow on my face.

Mhhh….What should I do now? No job, no money no food…. Of course it was a lie, that I wanted to drop of my job…but a lie was even better then saying the truth to that idiot!

Oh….Something came to my mind….I wasn't sure if I was already out of practise, since it had been a while when I did this for the last time….

Hehe….Saga should enjoy his triumphal procession as long as he can…..

Cause now it was MY turn! Listen up people! The master of thieves is back, here he goes "Dark – The master Thief"!!!!!! I was all smiles, oh yeah, Saga will deeply regret what he'd done to me…..
