-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night Dark lay awake, still in shock from what had happened after school. He replayed those images over and over again in his head, trying futilely to grasp in his mind what their meaning was. He knew now that the boy was familiar to him. He did not know his name, where he lived, or anything about him, but he knew him. And somehow he was hurt by his own reactions to the red haired pipsqueak that had confronted him in the hall. He knew now that he had to confront the kid he had treated so poorly-he seemed almost like an old friend.
Dark rolled over in bed, confused by the odd rush of emotions that had suddenly come over him. He was angry-very angry-with no apparent cause for his rage. He felt like someone had betrayed him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on whom. The emotion overcame him with such force that his stomach tightened into a hard knot. Apprehension flooded through him as he wondered who-or what- had caused him to feel this way.
EARLIER THAT DAY
"Mom, I'm home!" Diaskue Niwa shouted on his way in the door. "Oh hi Dai…. what's wrong?" Emiko stated out of concern, seemingly able to read the boy's mind. "Nothing mom…. its just…I saw dark today." Diaskue stuttered, on the verge of tears. "But he's different…. he didn't even recognize me! Its like he doesn't even remember who I am- or who he is even!"
Emiko stood, still as a statue from the shock of the unsuspected news.
"You…you mean…dark isn't…?"
Diaskue looked sadly up at his mothers horror-stricken face.
"No. It might sound crazy, but I'm sure I saw him!
Diaskues grandfather walked into the room, having overheard their conversation. A look of utter concern was written all over his face.
"Dai…are you sure it was him?" questioned Emiko."Are you sure you don't just miss him so much that you mistook someone else for…."
"No!" Diaskue interrupted. "I'm Positive! And…he…tried to beat me up after school…. but he didn't…. and he ran away."
"We must find a way to get him back." interrupted Diaskues grandfather. "If he realizes he has the ability to be a thief-and he doesn't remember Dai…well…he could be a danger to himself. "
"What do you mean?" questioned a concerned Emiko.
"I mean that if anyone else realizes what he is, they could easily sway him and use him for their own purposes. Dark could very easily be taken advantage of."
