I DO NOT OWN DN Angel! Im just a obsessed fan girl ^_^ eheh..

Note: This takes place about 2 years after Dark disappears.. *sheds a tear* And that Risa and Riku live with the Niwas now, since their parents were abroad in America and their butler had died of an illness :(

*It was kinda hard to think of and explain the reason why Risa's also a phantom thief, so please forgive me. ~_~

WARNING: please excuse my habit of suckish naming.

"Are you ready, Risa?"

I nodded, tying my hair back. I took a deep breath, taking it all in. Normally, I would have butterflies in my stomach right before a mission. But I was getting used to it now, like it was just a hobby of mine. I looked at myself in the mirror, checking if I had everything. I was dressed in all black so I could blend in easily in the dark.

Dark…

I remembered 3 years ago when he was the one who was stealing all the artwork, not me. He had it easy though since he had wings for an easy escape when he gets a hold of the targeted item or when he needed to retreat for a certain reason (which barely happened). But for me it was more challenging. I had no wings with me, so I have to be extra careful sneaking in, searching for and getting away with the artwork.

"You know what to do: find the fourth ring and get back safely." Emiko instructed. She handed me my grappling gun, which I almost forgot to bring. "You might need this," she smiled. I took it from her and clipped it on my belt. "Almost forgot," I said. And with that, I fled out the window.

You might've thought that since Dark and Krad are both sealed away that there's no need to steal anymore artworks, right? Wrong. About a year ago, after they were sealed away, Daiki and Kosuke called a family meeting (I guess we're part of the family now). They said that they felt an evil presence coming in the near future and that we needed to act quickly. *Daiki said that we needed Saturn's Seven Rings that were all scattered separately into different artworks. Getting all of them together may delay the evil force from coming.

Daisuke, of course, was up for it. Kosuke was proud of his son volunteering, but he said we needed another person to join him. He said the rings were found in national artworks which would tighten the security and make it harder than it already was. Daisuke would need a "partner" to help him in any ways possible. Daiki was out since he didn't have the strength that he used to have when he was Dark. Kosuke and Emiko voted themselves out since "they'll be the ones doing the rituals with Daiki." So the decision had to go between me and Riku.

Unfortunately, Riku hated the idea of being a phantom thief. She even opposed the idea of Daisuke being one, even if he sort of was before with Dark. So to settle the situation, I agreed to be his partner. At first I was worried because I might get caught and nervous because I didn't know what to expect. Daiki, Emiko and Daisuke helped me train and soon I pretty much got it.

I've memorized the path that Daisuke and I always took when we were on a mission. This was the first time I was going solo. Just last week, Daisuke broke his leg from a fall from when we were stealing the third ring. I ran as fast as my legs could take me, careful not to trip. I was a bit nervous going by myself but I knew that there wasn't another choice I could take. All I could do is do what I can and hope for the best.

With the speed that I was running, it wasn't that long until I reached the Modern Time's Museum. I kept hidden in the woods so the police wouldn't see me. They completely surrounded the building except for the back where I was, which had about five guards there. I smirked. Easy, they won't know what hit them.

The artwork that I'll be stealing had just been created a few months ago called the "Red Eagle". I noticed one guard that I never saw there before. He was a bit further away from the other guards and was closer to me than they were. He might be a newbie, I thought. I crept up behind him, slowly so he wouldn't hear my footsteps. Like a black widow hunting her prey, I cuffed his mouth with my hand and dragged him back in the woods quickly. I looked back at the other guards. They didn't even realize that one of them was gone and remained in the positions, keeping unnecessary lookout. I quickly took off the unconscious rookie's cap, shirt and, ehem, pants and changed into them (without taking my clothes off, of course). After fixing myself, I went back to where his fellow guards were.

I noticed that there was an open window in the second floor and soon thought of a plan. I took three of my smoke bombs and threw one of them at the guards at the left. Then I quickly threw another one at the guards on my right. While they were distracted, I grabbed my grappling gun and aimed it at the open window. The second I was lifted up toward the window, I threw my last smoke bomb in the ground to buy some time while the guards were distracted.

I placed my gun back and ran to find sculpture. Daiki said that it was somewhere in the second floor. Being as light as I could ever be on my feet, I searched for my targeted price. "There!" I whispered with a relief. I ran on my toes toward it and reached for it carefully out of its pedestal. But as soon as I did, a loud alarm went off. I looked at my feet. I passed the trigger laser that set it off. "Crap." I took it with me and ran as fast as I could. I heard the guards in the front enter the building.

The first thing I looked for the stairs. I knew I was still on the side of the building near the woods and I planned to find a window and jump out with my grappling gun supporting me. I kept running and soon I found the staircase to the third floor. Breathing heavily, I fought my way up. "There she is!" a guard below me pointed out. I looked behind me. Luckily there were four of them and weren't that much older than I was. Holding the Red Eagle tight, I searched for a room to hide in until it was safe. "Stop right there, Mist!" one of them shouted. They just arrived at the top of the stairs and were headed toward me. I took a sharp left and saw an available room. I jumped up to the ledge above. I couldn't just go inside now. They'd hear the door close and would try to come after me. I waited for the guards to past by so I could.

Soon enough, they did. They ran under past me, not knowing I was there. When I couldn't see them anymore, I jumped down and opened the door, locking it. I sat down, my back against the door.

It was the janitor's closet, but it was a little bigger than a normal one that you can find anywhere. I didn't turn on the light since that would be visible in the other side of the door. There was a window there too. I held the statue in my arms. I took a moment to slow my heartbeat and retrieve my breathing but before I could even start, a voice appeared.

"I didn't know that you were serious when you told me you were gonna be a phantom thief."

I gasped loudly and stood up, nearly dropping the Red Eagle. I looked around the room, panic in my eyes. "Who's t-there?"

He stepped into the dim light of the window, smirking. "You don't remember who I am anymore, Risa?" I looked at his moonlit face. His dark layered hair covered a part of his indigo eyes in a familiar way that made my heart skip a beat. He was wearing his usual dark outfit that he wears when he used to go on missions in the past. He had a smile that could make your knees drop down to the floor.

My eyes widened with disbelief. "Dark…?"
