Sorry this took forever... High School's a bitch. xD Read, Review, and Enjoy Peoples!
I just saw Twilight! It was AMAZING! I had three Extra Large Coca Cola Icees and a Monster!
Daisuke, Kari, and Satoshi walked in the opposite direction, in silence, towards Kari's House. "Kari-San, how did you manage to sneak out of the house without Dark or Krad noticing?" Kari chuckled slightly. "Krad was sleeping and Dark was showering. They are preparing for the theft tonight. Of course, I should be too, but I'm already ready if you catch my drift, Satoshi-Nii." Satoshi looked over at Kari. "No. You are not helping them. Absolutely not!" Kari stopped, spinning on her heels, and faced Satoshi. "I am going and you can't stop me, Satoshi-Nii. Besides, Krad doesn't want me staying alone and the security has been boosted! They need my computer hacking skills!" Satoshi glared at her. "Wait. How do you know this?" Satoshi questioned. Kari grinned and pointed at herself. "Hacker." Satoshi rolled his eyes. "I won't go easy just because you will be there." She continued to grin. "I don't care. I like a challenge!"
"Kari! There you are! Do you know how worried I was!?!" Krad half shouted half spoke as he approached them. "Busted." Kari grinned. "Sorry Krad, I needed to get out of the house but you were sleeping and Dark was showering…" Krad narrowed his eyes. "Home. Now." Kari nodded. "Krad's on protect mode…" Kari mumbled, walking up to Krad and giving him a hug. Krad's eyes softened and he hugged her back. "I'm just worried about you. You tend to have a knack to get yourself into trouble you know…" Kari nodded. "I know."
"Well, seeing as Kari-San is in capable hands, Hiwatari-Kun and I are just going to… Walk home." Daisuke grinned awkwardly, seeing Krad acting kind was still rather knew to him. "See you at the museum, Master Satoshi." Krad smirked. Satoshi just narrowed his eyes, walking away with Daisuke.
Krad wrapped an arm around Kari's waist, pulling her close as they walked back to the house.
"Kouta! Are we going masked or not?" Shouting to her older sister, Miyako pulled out two ninja-like masks. "Miyako! No masks! We don't want any idiots thinking WE'RE the thieves!" Miyako nodded, putting the ninja masks back into a bag. "So let me get this straight, Kouta. We are to go to the Museum, perch ourselves in the rafters, and wait for the thieves to show up, correct?" Kouta shook her head. "We are to guard the artwork, Miyako. We aren't going to be in the rafters." Miyako nodded. "Kouta…" "Yeah Miyako?" Kouta turned to look at her younger sister. All traces of goofing around and immaturity had disappeared from Miyako's face. Her eyes were solemn and she looked exceedingly serious. Kouta knew what was bothering her. Their last job had taken the life of their older brother, Akira Kurenai. Something had gone wrong and a stray bullet had hit him, killing him instantly.
"It's ok, Miyako." Kouta embraced her sister. "It won't happen again. I won't let it happen again…" Miyako nodded. "Go get ready, little sister. We don't want to be late." Kouta let go of her sister and Miyako went back to her closet, attempting to figure out what to wear.
The Museum…
Chief Commander Satoshi Hiwatari glared at Detective Saehara from a distance. He couldn't believe that the detective had hired two teenage girls to guard 'The Bonds Of Blood'! I can't believe he hired Novices! The only thing they'll be good for is distracting Dark! The young(ish) commander let out a sharp exhale of breath and turned to face none other than Kouta and Miyako. "Hi! We're the hired guards!" Miyako, her happy face back, beamed. Satoshi was shocked. The two girls from earlier were the guards that imbecile detective had hired. "I remember you." Kouta spoke, her eyes narrowing in on him. "Satoshi Hikari. Isn't that who your sister introduced you as?" Satoshi nodded. "That is who I am. Only here I am Police Chief Commander Hiwatari." Kouta raised an eyebrow but said nothing. "I'll show you the artwork that you are guarding. Follow me." Satoshi led the sisters into the museum.
"Kari-Chan, I'll set you down in the park, that way you won't have far to walk. Is that fine?" Krad asked. Kari nodded. "Yeah Krad, That's fine. Do you have your ear piece?" Dark's voice suddenly blared in her ear. "I've got mine!" Kari grimaced. "Talk quieter next time, He-Who-Sleeps-Curled-Up-In-Ball! That hurt! Krad, you have yours right?" He smiled. "Yeah, I've got mine as well." Kari nodded, smirking. "Good. Let's get the show on the road!"
"Wow… They are really pretty!" Miyako marveled at the 'Bonds of Blood' when she should have been on the lookout for the thief. The 'Bonds of Blood' were earrings. They had black studs and hung about a centimeter from a black chain. Hanging from that chain was what looked like a staff with two serpents intertwined around it. One black, the other white. Their eyes were created from very small dark blood red garnets cut into the shape of teardrops. At the bottom, their tails appeared to work together to hold a strategically cut garnet carved into a heart with a teardrop in the center. The garnet was the color of pooled blood. Dark, deep, and rich. The color was abnormally mesmerizing and it seemed to flash when Miyako looked closely at it. The bottom point of the heart looked as sharp as a razorblade but was probably as thin as a pin. The earrings themselves in a whole were probably only 5 centimeters long. "Miya-Chan, stay on task. They could be here any moment." She snapped out of her trance spinning on her heels. "Alrighty Kouta!" I didn't have a chance to read about the artwork… Oh well. I'll read it after the heist.
"Gee Kari, I thought you said that they upped the security! This is still child's play!" Dark complained into the headset, dodging another set of lasers as Krad distracted the guards. "They did, Dark! Or at least, it looks like they did…" Dark then turned down the hall and met up with Krad. Dark shot him a look that seemed to say 'Where are the guards?' Krad smirked. "I took care of them." Dark and Krad then walked into the room containing the 'Bonds of Blood'.
Miyako and Kouta stood in front of the 'Bonds of Blood' patiently, awaiting the Thief's appearance. Kouta's eyes shot towards one of the two doors. "I hear voices." She whispered almost inaudibly. As if on cue, The Phantom Thief walked in, Black Wings and all with some one else not far behind. The Phantom Thief was tall. Somewhere around 6 foot 1 or 6 foot 2. Maybe taller. Neither Miyako nor Kouta could really tell. He had spiky violet hair that looked kinda awkward. At some points it was defy gravity spiky and others it just kinda hung there. His eyes seemed to be a cross between crimson red and amethyst purple. It was certainly strange. His slightly tanned skin was flawless and his face bore an arrogant smirk. He was clad in all black leather. Tightish looking leather pants with a black and silver studded belt, a soft looking black shirt that was tucked into his pants, a leather black trench coat accompanied with a hood, and gloves. They were leather on the top of the hand, but on the palm, it was a normal, non-shiny material.
The other male was a few inches shorter than the Phantom Thief. His golden hair was frighteningly long with a White-Gold Cross hanging from the bottom of his ponytail, which Miyako recognized as an artwork known as 'The Hikari Cross' from her research. His eyes were icy blue like the waters of the Arctic Circle. Cold and harsh, yet equally beautiful. There was also a slight tenderness to them. You had to look to see it though. His pale face also bore a smirk, but his wasn't of arrogance like the Phantom Thief's, but out of amusement. He wore all white which seemed to be loose-fitting and flowing. His shirt was pure white and was tucked into his pants, like Dark's, and was cut into a V-neck, the style of the shirt was suspended somewhere between Gay and Straight. Over it, he wore a white cloth trench coat that was somewhat longer than Dark's, but just by a little. It was accented with slivers of gold here and there. He also wore gloves, but his were plain cloth and pure white. His pants were white denim and had gold stitching. It looked homemade, but more in a One of a kind way rather than a bad way. The pants were accompanied with a plain white belt that contained a white gold colored buckle. They bore a facial resemblance, like twins, except for the fact that the blonde's face was slightly more angular and his eyes more cat-like than the Thief's. "I like him. He's kinda hot." Miyako leaned over and whispered to Kouta. So far, they were unnoticed. "Which one?" Kouta asked, with feigned interest, her eyes locked on their targets. "The Phantom Thief." Miyako stated matter-of-factly. "Really?" She questioned skeptically. Miyako nodded. Kouta made a gagging noise. The Phantom Thief looked in their direction. "Hey, finally the Commander is catering to my needs. Very attractive female guards. I like this."
"Shut up." Kouta's voice rang out cold and harsh and it made Miyako think of the edge of a knife. The Thief snorted. "Great. An attitude like the Commander." He smirked. "That'll only make things more interesting." His eyes flashed to the Blonde's. "Go Krad!" Finally, a face for the name! Miyako thought to herself. Krad dashed in Kouta's direction abnormally fast. Miyako's attention was drawn back to the Thief when she caught his movement out of the corner of her eyes. She spun, attempting to block him and succeeded, finding herself pinned between the display and the Thief. Both of his hands were clamped on either side of her on the display shelf. Her eyes widened at the situation. He leaned down, his face impossible close to her face. "I'm sorry, honey, but I need to take those earrings. So if you would kindly move aside when I let you go, I can guarantee you'll be unharmed." Dark bluffed, releasing his hold with one hand and gently stroking her cheek. He wouldn't hurt her even if she didn't move. He wouldn't be able to bring himself to harm a beautiful girl like her. She mystified him. More specifically, her eyes mystified him. Miyako was spellbound. His voice had relaxed her, mellowed her out. Her legs felt like jelly and she kinda just leaned into his touch, closing her eyes. "Snap out of it!" Kouta shouted, once again, snapping Miyako out of her trance. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you take them, Thief!" Dark then surprised her by picking her up and moving her in one swift motion. Miyako's eyes widened again as she squeaked. The Thief chuckled, grabbing the earrings. "By the way, the name's Dark. Dark Mousy! Come on Kr-" Dark was then knocked down as Miyako tackled him, causing Dark to drop one of the earrings without realizing it. "I told you, Dark, that I can't let you take them!" She had each arm on the ground on either side of his head, straddling him, in an attempt to trap him. She pulled a pair of handcuffs from her back pocket. "I've got him, sis!!!" Just as she clicked one of the handcuffs onto his right arm, he, gently as possible, knocked her off of him and beaconed to Krad that it was time to go. Krad caught the message and evaded Kouta. Dark and Krad ran out of the other door, both growing their wings simultaneously, Kouta and Miyako finding themselves staring after them somewhat in awe.
Dark winced as the earring in his left hand sliced his hand, drawing blood. The handcuffs on his right wrist jingled. "Dark! Krad! You guys make it out?" Dark peered into his hand, noticing that there was only one earring. "Dammit! I dropped one!" Dark yelled. "We can't turn back, Dark. Leave it. We'll get it later! Right now, we need to get out of here!" Dark nodded. "Yeah Kari. We're almost out." "Alright! Pick me up where you dropped me off, Krad!"
"Miyako! Are you all right? Did he hurt you?" Kouta sounded concerned. Miyako nodded. "I'm fine, sister. Just a little… Shaken up." Kouta nodded. Something shiny caught Miyako's gaze. She walked over to it, and kneeled down, gasping. The other piece of the 'Bonds of Blood'… He must have dropped it when I tackled him… Picking it up, Miyako held it in her hand. "What is that, Miyako?" Miyako closed her hand around the earring, the heart cutting painfully into her hand, drawing blood. "Nothing. I'll tell you later. Let's just meet with the Commander and go home." Kouta nodded and they walked out of the room, headed to collect their pay.
