Down the Rabbit Hole of Time
Chapter 1: Painting of the Rabbit Hole
Daisuke Niwa is an almost average student. He didn't stand out from the rest of his class and anyone passing him one the street probably wouldn't even notice him. Anyone that knew him saw him as a somewhat clumsy person who would always help if you asked him which led to him occasionally being used by other people trying to get out of work. On the outside he was just an average student however Daisuke has a secret, if anyone were to discover this secret they wouldn't look at Daisuke the same way ever again. Daisuke is the legendary phantom thief Dark. The first day Daisuke became Dark his life became anything but average and until he can get rid of Dark it looks as though things will only get worse.
Daisuke was sitting at the fountain in the town one day sketching a picture of the museum the fountain overlooked, the museum that his next target was displayed in. He remembered his best friend Saehara explaining the artwork to the others in their class. He described the painting called the Bone Eater's Secret, telling how it was an image of an old well that looked ready to fall apart. According to him no one knows how old it is or who the artist is, or even why its hanging in the museum. Daisuke however knew at least one of those things, it was painted y someone from the Hikari family and because of that it needed to be sealed before the magic power inside of it caused an accident. Daisuke was shaken from his thoughts by the setting sun, realizing he still had to go home and get ready Daisuke quickly returned home.

It was raining and because Kagome was complaining about getting wet they weren't going anywhere. There wasn't any sense of urgency or reason they need to hurry but that didn't stop the situation from annoying the half demon sulking in a corner. The group had returned to the village for some rest and on the day they were to leave again they were stopped by a heavy rain. Even with the rain slamming against the roof everyone aside from Inuyasha was having good time playing some game that Kagome had taught them. Inuyasha had been angry so instead of joining them he went off to take a nap but by now the only thing keeping him from joining the game was his stubbornness. He didn't want it to seem like he had felt left out so he continued to sulk. He was about to give up and join the others when he noticed something odd, he went outside and sniffed the air picking up something that wasn't normal he took off and ran into the forest leaving the others confused. Miroku ran after him while Kagome, Sango, and Shippo stayed behind. Kagome vaguely noticed that they had run in the direction of the well but she didn't think much of it.

Inside the museum it was quiet until a loud sneeze alerted the guards Dark cursed as he ran through halls trying to lose the cops. It had started raining before Daisuke had gotten home and Dark had to fly out to the museum in the rain by the time he got there he was drenched and freezing. Naturally this didn't help when he was trying to sneak around. He rounded another corner and dashed into a room closing the door behind him. He had managed to get away from the guards and find his way into the room were the police had hidden the painting. It wasn't that easy though as Dark was attacked by the one person he knew would be right there with the artwork. Satoshi pinned Dark just like he had in their first encounter although this time Satoshi was prepared for any of Dark's tricks. While the two struggled the cops had started banging on the door trying to get in, Dark realizing the situation he was in tried to throw Satoshi with everything he had but the commander wasn't letting go. Neither of them realized that the painting was starting to glow slightly as it steadily grew brighter the two noticed it too late. As a flash of lightning brightened the room so much it was impossible to see the guards broke through the door and found the room empty of anything but the painting hanging on the wall where it was left.

As Inuyasha approached the source of the strange scent a deafening clap of thunder rang out loud enough to cause Inuyasha to flinch but he continued until he arrived at the source of the scent, the well, as Miroku caught up with him he looked inside to find two kids passed out at the bottom of the well he shouted at Miroku to help him and the two pulled the kids up and took them back to the village for help.
Author's Note
I went back and looked at this story and realized I was a terrible writer and I never finished it so I am going to rewrite this and hopefully finish it this time.
