The story so far: Risa sneaks inside the Modern Time's Museum to steal the Red Eagle, the artwork that bears the fourth ring that the Niwas need in order to delay the coming of an evil force. She gets caught and hides in a janitor's closet. But she's not alone…Could it be that the Phantom Thief Dark has come back?

"Dark…?"

His smirk turned into smile. The kind of smile I had been dreaming of ever since he left. "So you remember." he said. He looked out the window, probably wondering how he can get out of here without getting caught. Then again, how did he even get here? I looked around for possible entries. Dark had to have come from some place to get here. If I could find that place, I could escape.

I placed the Red Eagle down in front of me carefully and began crawling on the wall to my left. I patted the wall silently, looking for maybe a hidden button somewhere. He seemed to notice, but was confused about what I was planning to do. "What are you-?" I moved on to the other wall, "An exit button." I stopped but didn't look at him. "You got here somehow, right? Then there must be a way out."

Dark chuckled under his breath and shook his head. "Same old Risa. Glad to see some parts of you didn't change." I looked at him with curiosity. "What parts changed?"

He smiled, "Your hair grew longer, but you still have your bangs. You've gotten taller, too. You've also grown a good sized pair of-" I cut him off. "Skip that part, please." I crossed my arms in front of my chest. Dark laughed at my reaction, but then his face softened. "You're beautiful, Risa." his voice was serious but gentle.

I couldn't see it and I hope he didn't either, but I could tell I was blushing. No, I told myself. I can't fall for him again. Grow up, Risa.

Footsteps and the guards shouting to each other brought me back to reality. I picked up the Red Eagle carefully. When I got up, I saw Dark's hand extended to me. "Shall I take you home, my princess?" I could tell I was blushing even more. I looked at his hand, not knowing if I should take his invitation or reject it. I didn't know what I was so worried about. Maybe it was because I was nervous about flying or getting caught. I didn't know what to do.

Suddenly there was banging on the door. "She's in here! Help me open it!" Startled, I grabbed Dark's hand without thinking. Before I could retreat back, he pulled me in and moved his hand to my waist while the other rested on my head. "You're mine now." he whispered in my ear. I fought the urge to lay my head on his chest. Instead, I tighten my hold of the Red Eagle.

Dark pulled out a strange looking object. As soon as it was exposed from his pocket, it started glowing. I soon realized that it was an old compass. The metal was rusted and the pointer was bent. It wouldn't have been useful if it's purpose was pointing out North.

The light grew larger and soon engulfed us in it.

"Risa? Risa, can you hear me?"

I opened my eyes, but as soon as I saw a bright light again I quickly shut them tight. I covered my eyes from the light. What is this..? I thought to myself, where am I? As if my mind was being read, the light became dimmer. The feeling of relief washed over me as my hand retreated back to my side. I carefully opened my eyes, looking out for the bright light again. But this time, all I saw was familiar faces. Riku, Daisuke, Daiki, Emiko and Kosuke were all sitted around me, staring. "Risa!" Riku hugged me tight. I felt the wetness in her eyes. Riku was crying, I thought. I got her so worried. She grabbed my arms, demandingly. "Does anything hurt? Are you okay? What happened? Did you get the Red Eag-?" Daiki stopped her midway. "Let's give her time to rest. Risa must've been tired from the day's work already." He turned to me with a smile, "Very nice done, Risa. Mission accomplished."

Mission accomplished? How was tonight's mission accomplished? I don't remember how I even got home. I sat up, my mind filled with questions I had no answer to. Emiko seemed to understand what was going on. "Rest up, Risa. You'll understand in the morning." She got up and held her hand up to me. A conflict was raging in me. I wanted to know what was wrong with me now, but it also hurts to remember. I knew I needed sleep but with my head feeling like it's about to explode, it's kind of impossible. As I reached up to Emiko's hand, my answer appeared. "I'll bring her to her room, Emiko."

When I looked over to the man, my eyes widened. "Dark..." my voice trailed , images of what happened during my mission came to my mind. It hurt to recall all those things, but I fought the pain. I thought that I'd be free of the confusion but more questions replaced the old ones. Why was Dark here? Does that mean that Krad is too? What happened to the Black Wings? Why isn't Dark in Daisuke's body? I fought to get up by myself, almost tripping. But Dark was suddenly by my side, supporting me.

"Face it, Risa. You can't go by yourself." He said. Without asking, he picked me up and carried me off. I looked back to see the others smile and return to their rooms. "W-What..?" I said, asking completely no one.

"I'll explain once we're in the room."
