Chapter 3

"Did you see who took the bracelet?" The police man asked.

"No. I didn't get to see him clearly." Riku replied. She was sitting on the back off the ambulance, Risa sat by her side.
"Him. It was a man?"
"Yes. It was a man. Two of them."
"Two? You say two men?"
"Yes sir. I saw two."
"And you didn't see either of their faces." The policeman jotted down some notes on his notepad. "Thank you miss. If you remember anything else please contact us."
"Yes sir." Riku said and got out of the ambulance. Risa closely behind her.
"I was so scared Riku. I'm so happy your okay."

"Is mom and dad here yet?"
"Yeah. There they are." Mr. and Mrs. Harada both ran and each gave Riku and Risa a giant huge.
"Don't ever do that again. Do you understand young miss?" Mrs. Harada said to Riku.
"Yes mom. I understand."
"Good. Now let's get home." Mr. Harada said and they headed for the car.

"Dark?" Lantis walked into the dark room. There was no answer. "You should see this." Lantis said and with a wave of his arm an image appeared.

Dark walked out of the dark corner of the room and stood before the image of Riku and Risa. Dark's hand came up to Riku's face, then he moved to Risa. His fingers tracing the outline of her face.
"Love." Dark said and a smiled appeared on his face.

"Did you hear what happened on Saturday at the museum?" A bunch of girls sitting by Riku were talking about the missing bracelet and who had stolen it.

"Ask Risa. She was there."
"Yeah. And Riku too." The girls walked over to Riku's desk.
"We heard that you saw the thief who stole the Bracelet of Love." One of the girls asked.
"If you were watching the news, then you shouldn't have to ask me." Riku said and got up out of her seat. She walked into the hallway and made her way outside to the courtyard. Risa was outside talking to some boys in their gym class. Riku tuned back the other way.
"Hey. Riku. You wanna play basketball after class today?" One of the boys asked as they saw her walking away from them.
"No thanks." Riku turned back to say and walked to a bench and sat down. She took out a book and started reading.

When she looked back up the boys were gone, but Risa was still there. Riku put her book in her bag and started towards her sister. A sudden chill went up and the wind started to get stronger. Riku looked up to the sky and saw something flying towards them. She shielded her eyes from the sun and took a better look. It was a man with black wings. He flew down faster and faster. Riku ducked her head, afraid he would come crashing down on her. When she looked up again he was gone. She turned to see if Risa had seen what she had, but Risa was also gone.

Dark flew down and saw the sisters in the courtyard of the school. He saw Riku duck, but Risa stood there looking at him. He gave a soft chuckle to himself and spoke two words. Risa closed her eyes and before she could fall back, Dark caught her in his arms and flew elsewhere for his talk with her.

Risa roused out of her sleep and work up to find herself laying on the soft green grass of a park. A tall figure stood next to a tree in the shade.

"Who are you?" She asked.

The figure turned around. Risa couldn't believe her eyes. He was breath taking. His violet eyes and his long dark violet hair. His black wings draped behind him and shone a black light.

"I'm Dark." He said and moved to where she stood.

"Dark." She said and looked at him in the face.

She looks just like Love, but she cannot remember me. Dark thought.

"Are your wings real?" She asked looking at his wings.
"Yes. They are real."
"Can I touch them?"
"Only you can touch them." He said and let his wings flap out so she could touch them.
Risa reached out her hand to touch the black wings.
"It's so soft. It feels like silk and cotton. Are you an angel?" Dark gave a laugh.
"Yes. I am an angel." He lied.
"But your wings aren't white. Black is an ugly shade for an angel as handsome as you."

Dark's smile faded. He remembered what Love had said about his wings.

"Your wings are beautiful Dark. They're such a beautiful shade. I wish I had wings as dark and as beautiful as yours."

"Dark?" Risa said and Dark looked down at her. He leaned down and kissed her.

Risa was surprised by his actions, but she let him kiss her.
It must be the magic of the bracelet. This must be my true love.

Dark pulled back and stared at her.

The first time I kissed Love was different. It was so different. Dark thought. He banished the thought and pulled out the bracelet.

Risa gave a gasp. "That's the Bracelet of Love." She said pointing to it. "How did you get it?"
Dark ignored her comment and took her left hand into his. He slipped on the bracelet.

"It's so beautiful." Risa said turning her risk so that the light caught the sapphires. She looked closely at it and found the words. "Do you know what it says?" She asked Dark.
"No. I do not know." Dark lied again. She has to know what it says. She was the one that told me what it said.

"Did you find it?"
"No."
"Then how do you have it?"
"I was the one that stole it." Risa looked up at him.
"You stole it?"
"Yes. For you."
"For me?"
"Yes."
"But I don't even know you."
"I know you."
"Thank you then. For the bracelet."
"It belonged to you even if I hadn't stolen it." Dark said, but Risa didn't hear him.
"Are you real?" She asked now looking away from the bracelet.
"Yes. I'm real." Risa smiled.
"Then the bracelet has really brought you to me." Risa said and took Dark's arm. "No one at school is going to believe me. Riku will be so jealous."

"Riku." Dark said to himself.

Riku stood outside of the classroom. She hadn't seen Risa since she last saw her in the courtyard. Riku saw Risa walking happily down the hallway.

"Risa. Where did you go?" Riku asked as Risa reached her.
"No where. Are you walking home again?"
"Yeah. I'll see you at home. Don't go anywhere. You better come straight home."
"Sure." Risa said as they parted when they reached the outside of the school.

Dark watched them cautiously from where he sat.
