-1Chapter two:
A surprise within the night
The day seemed to drag on for the spiky red haired fourteen year old boy, thinking about the familiar figure in the sky. Wondering if it was the Famous Phantom Thief. 'Oh come on, get over yourself! Your with Miss. Riku, there is no way he would love me in a million years. God Daisuke…stay happy with Miss. Harata's older sister, just forget about him…just forget.' A small sigh escaped his lips as he tilted back in his chair, rubbing his eyes. Finally the bell rang saying it was time to clean up from the days worth of teaching.
"Niwa! Niwa!" Miss. Riku called out to him as he walked down the hall.
"Miss. Riku, how nice it is to see you." Daisuke said giving a polite bow, along with a smile.
"You seem really out of it Niwa, are you okay?" Older Harata asked, concern filled hew voice. "You and Risa are not yourselves."
"Oh, well we both thought we saw Dark earlier this morning." He said giving a small, nervous smile. 'She must think I'm crazy…'
"Oh yeh, a lot of people are thinking they did. But everyone knows he cant come back…right?"
"I guess, I mean I think so at least." Niwa said giving a tired sigh, as he looked out at the setting sun.
"You seem tired Niwa, I'll take over your cleaning duties tonight." She whispered taking a step closer to him.
"A-are you sure?"
"Yes, remember you've done it for me a couple of times in the past?"
"Oh right, I did." He said giving a laugh as he scratched the back of his head.
What happened next was a surprise to Daisuke, Riku flung her arms around his neck. In response he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and kissed her cheek before running off down the hall, waving to her until he was out of her sight. When he finally got home he gave a sigh as he walked though, being greeted by a series of heat seeking lasers. 'Doesn't mom remember that I don't have to do this anymore?' He thought as he dodged everyone of them and landed in front of the doorway leading to the living room.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa I'm home!" He called out tossing his shoes back on the door step knowing that it was safe to take off his shoes and get his slippers on. As he dropped his book bag and walked into the living room one figure made him forget to breath. His amethyst eyes seemed to pierce the young boys soul.
"Daisuke…" His mom said standing up, followed by everyone else in the room. "We need to talk about something."
Then someone spoke up, making the boys heart seem to skip a beat. "Nice to see you again Daisuke Niwa, its been what…six months?"
"…Dark." Was all young Daisuke Niwa could say as his jaw dropped to what seemed like the floor.
