-Chapter Two

Of freaky visions

And a hyper Youko-

"DANM WHOEVER THIS OTHER THIEF IS!"

'Um…Dark…you don't have to get so angry…'

"WELL I AM! NO ONE STEALS DARK MOUSEY'S TARGETS! WHEN I CATCH UP TO WHOEVER IT IS I'M GOING TO-"

The things that Dark wanted to do to the other thief were too horrid for a pg13 fan fiction and thus we will not hear what it is that he might do.

Ahead of the two, another two were having the time of their lives…

'Youko…I'd better not be suspected for anything connecting to this you know…'

-Lay off, it's not like I look anything like you anyway…-

'True…'

-I'm much taller than you-

'I'll pretend I didn't hear that…'

Youko chuckled to himself as he decided to lead this chase outdoors. He stopped for a moment to let his pursuer see him before leaping out a window to go off and get on television to steal the hearts of more girls…

'Youko…'

-Yes my little conscience?-

'You are grounded when we get home'

-You are no fun!-

Dark gasped as the other thief stopped for a moment (on purpose, he could tell) before jumping clear out the window.

The other thief was freakishly tall (taller than him…maybe even taller than Krad) he was beautiful and seemed to glow in the moonlight that lit the corridors. He'd only seen him for about two seconds but that was enough to notice that whoever it was that he was chasing, they weren't human…

'Dark…what is that? Is he another artifact bought to life?'

/I don't know Daisuke but I'm going to find out…/

Landing on the ground outside Youko made sure to jump up again into the clear view of the TV cameras. His hearing picked up the news reporters startled cries and he also sensed that Dark had just followed him outside as well.

"I-I-I don't know what just happened but it seems that there is another thief…and he and Dark seem to be enemies based on the shouting that Dark is doing right now…"

The reporter woman was staring at Youko and Dark while the camera crew and the few police left just plain stared as well.

A fight had apparently broken out. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP!" Dark threw out several feathers that exploded and would have severely damaged the fox demon if he hadn't pulled out a large sunflower looking plant that turned itself into a shield to block.

"Alright! Just who the hell are you!"

Neither thief seemed to notice (or maybe they were ignoring the fact) that the news team had inched closer until the cameras and microphones could hear and see what the two were doing and saying.

"Who am I? My name is Youko, please to meet you Kaitou Dark…"

Dark stiffened, the others voice was low and silky; his eyes were that unnatural gold that reminded him of Krad. "And to what do I own this honor?" Dark said angrily, Youko was still clutching the painting.

"Why, I merely wished to meet you…a thief who goes around stealing artworks…I had wondered why, a thief of your caliber could be robbing the highest treasure troves instead of pillaging through old trinkets…"

"Hey!"

Youko ignored him and continued. "But when I actually saw this painting…I realized why…this painting…and the other things you steal…they're cursed aren't they?"

Dark was actually surprised. How the hell did this guy know?

The news team was having a field day; the ratings were going to skyrocket now!

Youko continued talking, heedless of the dark haired thief in front of him who was attempting to strangle him in his mind. "You've been taking these items to save these people from the curses that plague it…am I correct?"

Dark grinded his teeth angrily, "Just give me that back right now!"

He lunged forward and the battle started again. Where Dark used feathers that he creates out of his own magic and energy to fight, this adversary used…flowers?

The dandelions were quite possibly the worst. Their petals were razor sharp and they multiplied like crazy, a true weed. Dark was blasting them out of existence, left, right, top, left…they just kept coming!

'Don't go overboard Youko! There are still the humans down there in the bushes!'

-I know! I know! Jeez! Keep you panties on…-

'Was that just a comment on how I'm feminine?' Kurama's voice was low and dangerous, he was pissed.

-…um…nothing!-

Dark was getting more annoyed by the second. Just who the hell was this guy?

Then Youko smirked and stopped the barrage of floral. He tosses out one last flower, a pale brown branch with numerous tiny yellow flowers, Forsythia.

"We'll meet again…in the meantime, since you've impressed me…have the painting, I have no use for it anyway…"

Dark caught the painting and looked to see that the other thief had gone. 'Whoever you are…I'll teach you that no one messes with Phantom Thief Dark!'

Then he looked over at the cameras one last time, he smirked and then he unfolded his wings and flew out of the area, a swirl of black feathers danced across the grass.

(Forsythia- Anticipation)

/ARGH! I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HIMILUATED IN MY WHOLE EXSISTANCE! /

'Dark…please clam down…'

/Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down? That fox jerk totally played me! /

'But he did give us the painting back…'

/You think that matters? If I ever find out who he is, I'm going to kill him! /

'Well…at least everyone now knows that you steal the artwork because they were cursed and you are only trying to protect these people…'

Despite Daisuke's gentle words, Dark wasn't calming down at all. The red head sighed. Dark was too arrogant…maybe it's a good thing to have his cockiness taken down a few pegs…

/What did you just say Daisuke? /

'Oh shoot…I forgot he could hear my thoughts…'

/Dang well I can! /

0o0o0o0

'That was too risky Youko…'

-That was too much fun! –

'You could have gotten us into a lot of trouble…'

-Well I didn't now did I? –

Kurama sighed and massaged his head.

'New student teacher shows up at school and a new thief comes to the town…a little too convenient don't you think?'

-…-

'Please don't tell me you just realized that…'

-SHITE! -

'You work out a solution for this, I, am going to school…'

0o0o0o0o0

Daisuke rushed to school as fast as he could (his argument with Dark took a while…)

'Why am I always late?'

/Because you keep trying to correct me/

'Shut up…'

Upon reaching the classroom door it opened on it's own to show Satoshi…in a very bad mood (well, bad enough to actually notice) his usual poker face was marred with a frown.

"Niwa…we need to talk."

"H-Hiwatari-kun…"

It was then that the commotion inside the classroom was finally registered in Daisuke's mind. The girls were making a huge fuss, just like what they did when Dark first showed up.

"Oh my gosh! That Youko guy is so cool!"

"That hair, those cute ears, those long slender legs…"

"I bet he's only in his early Twenties!"

"Did you see his eyes? Oh…"

"The hair!"

All while this was going on the males in the room were once again arguing about how girls could idolize thieves. Daisuke saw the student teacher sitting in the front desk with a straight expression. Once more, he felt the strange energy.

/New student teacher who feels weird…new thief whom I wish to mutilate…too convenient…/

'You thing Minamino-sensei is the Youko guy? But there don't look alike and Youko is much taller than…oh my gosh, I just described me and you didn't I?'

/Maybe he's another host…doesn't have to be a Hikari made either…there are many types of magic all over the world, our family just tends to deal with one…/

The red haired teen with green eyes seemed to feel Daisuke's stare and he raises his own eyes to meet large red ones.

'Red eyes…usually a sign that you're not completely human…'

-I still don't trust that kid…-

'Be that as it may, he is not hostile towards us and we have no reason to be cold to him.'

While waiting for class to start Daisuke absently played with a flower he found on his desk, it would have surprised him at first that there was a flower on his desk but then he saw that everyone else had some…all different ones but they all had some.

Daisuke's flower was a group of small flowers clustered together.

/Fennel…worthy of all praise…/

Daisuke nearly dropped the plant as Dark's voice whispered in his inner ear.

'Do you think it's from…him…?'

/Might be…/

A hand landed on Daisuke's shoulder and the boy remembered that Satoshi had wanted to talk to him. The Niwa boy looked at the other and saw that he was holding a fern in his hand…but it wasn't a normal fern.

Normal ferns are puffy and spread out but this one was curled in on itself, classified as Magic Fern.

Fascination

"Oh, yes! Um…what were you going to tell me Hiwatari-kun?"

"Niwa…what does 'he' think about that Youko person?"

"He…he thinks that Youko might not be a Hikari made…and…he's suspicious of the new student teacher…"

'Oh my gosh that sounded so stupid!'

"I don't trust him either."

"W-wha? You too Hiwatari-kun?"

Satoshi walked back to his desk, as he left he said so softly Daisuke thought he was hearing wrong.

"Be careful Daisuke."

Class had ended pretty well, nothing much out of the ordinary happened except the girls. Risa was still blushing madly and proclaiming that this was a test of her loyalty for her beloved Dark-san.

Riku had been strangely subdued and quiet all day. Unknown to all but herself, her thought patterns were going along the lines of, 'Holy crap that Youko guy was hot…'

She shook her head madly. 'What am I thinking? He is a thief! Just like that pervert! Although…he did piss of that pervert and humiliate him by getting the painting first…'

Risa looked at her sister strangely when the short haired girl suddenly threw her arms up in the air and screamed silently, that is, she opened her mouth but held back the sound.

Youko was busy thinking of ways to keep Kurama (or rather, Shuuichi) out of suspicion.

-You know…it doesn't help us trying to keep our suspicion down if you keep on putting those dang flowers on people's desks…-

'That Niwa boy knows something and my intuition says that he's involved as well…and that Hiwatari boy we've already seen him at the museum. He's deeply involved in this case; I'm just messing with their minds…'

-Oh joy! Thank Inari! You do have a sense of fun! -

'Youko?'

-Yes Kurama? -

'Shut up'

-Meanie-
