A not so peaceful Summer Break
Next chapter is finally here!
I would also like to say thank you to Miqu who suggested the name for the artwork, as well as helping me to stay motivated to keep writing this story as quickly as I have. Thank you so much! Nya!
Disclaimer: I do not own. (How do I make it clearer than that?)
Now onto the story!
-Time skip- temporary Niwa residence- (Daisuke in control)
After a bit of explanations about his target, Rainbow's Grace, and some other preparations Emiko said "Daisuke it's almost time, go put this on" as she handed him the costume Dark would wear tonight.
Daisuke didn't say anything, instead he simply gave a sigh. He- more or less- got used to his mom making Dark all kinds of thieving outfits. Not to long after he got changed he let Dark take over.
"Well, I hope the police in Tokyo can give me a good challenge." Dark said while stretching a little.
"Don't get to full of yourself, Dark. Don't forget this won't be the same as back home. This is a big city, I'm sure they'll have better security. We need to be careful." Daisuke reasoned.
"Don't worry, Dai. Don't you forget that I'm the best Phantom thief around." Dark said as he approach the window. "Come on, Wiz!" he called as he took off into the night sky.
The museum wasn't to far away, maybe a seven minute flight. When Dark arrived he could see a crowd of police officers, reporters with their camera crews and some civilians who heard about the heist and mostly likely wanted to see what would happen. He made it so some people would notice him briefly than hid himself out of sight.
"Was that really necessary, Dark?" Daisuke asked with a small sigh.
Dark only smirked and landed in a more secluded part around the building within some bushes. He looked to make sure no one saw him then climbed to the roof of the museum. When he got to the top he entered through a ventilation shaft. Once inside, he made his way to the room that held Rainbow's Grace. Through one vent he was able to see his target, a small statue of a girl holding a pendant that was shaped like a rainbow.
He made sure the coast was clear, then checked for any traps. He found a couple, but made quick work of them and made his way towards his target. When he reached it he made a final check and disable the last of the traps. Now with the statue in his possession, he went to make his get away, but heard foot steps coming closer to his direction and quickly, but silently, hid in the vent he entered from and closed it just as quickly. Not to long after that, a few officers came running into the room.
"Sir! The statue is gone!" one of the lower officer shouted.
"What!? How!? Search the whole area, he couldn't have gotten far!" a higher ranking officer barked out orders.
Some left to search the other rooms while a couple stayed to look in the room they were in. They search most of the room, but it seemed like none of them thought to look up in the vents.
"I thought this would be a lot harder." Dark thought as he made his way out. He got to the roof problem free and called out "Wiz, come!" He took to the air and flew high up. "Dai, I think we overestimated them. I mean seriously, that took next to no effort." he said out loud as he viewed the officers bellow searching fruitlessly before taking off towards home.
When he was about two minutes away from the museum, he notice five girls in colourful outfits on a roof a few roofs away from him so he stop where he was in the air and greeted them. "Now why would five lovely ladies be out at this time of night?" he said with a smirk playing on his face. "Dark!" Daisuke shouted, but was ignored.
"Because of you, of course!" the pink mew exclaimed.
"I didn't know you felt that way." Dark said still smirking.
"In your dreams!" she shouted.
"More like in yours." he said back.
She just huff and tried to changed the topic, but he could see a very light blush on her cheeks. "We came to stop you!"
"So I take it you saw my work." Dark said proudly.
"I'll admit it wasn't the work of a petty thief, but a thief is still a thief." the blue one said with the same condescending tone as before.
"It's time you return the statue you stole." the purple mew said in a calm voice underlined with a commanding tone.
"Now why would I do that?" Dark replied.
"Because stealing is wrong!" the little yellow one spoke up.
"Why would you steal in the first place?" this time the green mew spoke.
"It's what I do, so I'll be taking my leave now." Dark said preparing to take off again in a different direction.
"Oh no you don't!" the pink one yelled. She jumped from roof top to roof top in order to catch him with the other mews following her lead.
"You won't be able to catch me that easily. I am the famous Phantom thief Dark after all." Dark said flying faster with a large smirk on his face.
The chase went on for a little while, the girls tried several times to stop Dark in his tracks, but all of their attempts failed.
"Dark, we need to stop playing around and get back home, mom will get worried." Daisuke said.
"Oh come on, why should we stop when we're having so much fun?" Dark responded. "I'm pretty sure you're the only one having fun here." Daisuke said with a small sigh.
Their small conversation was interrupted by a few shouts of "Get back here!" and "Stop!" etc. Dark looked over his shoulder to see the girls were starting to slow down and decided to tease them a little.
"Is that all? I would've expected more from a team that plans to save the earth." he said turning a little towards them. He received a few groans for his comment.
"How long do you plan to keep this up for?" the pink one yelled clearly annoyed by all of this.
"Well, as long as you keep chasing me I suppose." Dark called back.
The girls continued chasing him for another ten minutes until they were completely out of breath and had to stop. From his position in the sky Dark could see that the girls stopped on one roof and were kneeling over, trying to catch their breaths. He paused in his flight and flew a little closer.
"You won't get away from Pudding!" the little yellow one called out as she stood straight with determination shining in her eyes while the others were still panting.
"Oh really?" Dark asked, planning something. He flew down the side of the building the girls were currently on before they even realized what he was doing. Dark quickly flew into an empty alleyway before they could jumped off the roof in pursuit and transformed, giving Daisuke control.
Once the girls landed they looked around for any sign of the Phantom thief but it was clear they didn't see anything. Daisuke walked out of the alleyway and started walking down the street only for the girls to notice him and quickly intercept him to ask a couple questions.
The green one quickly asked, politely of course, "U-um, e-excuse me, have you seen a man with wings in a black outfit around here?"
"H-huh?" Daisuke stuttered "N-no, I haven't. M-may I ask why?" Daisuke answered with a small nervous smile.
"O-oh no reason, thanks for answering!" the pink one said and wave a hand as if to say just forget about it. Then she quickly ran off to look somewhere else with the other mews following.
Daisuke waited a little bit before heading in the direction of the house his family was renting. "That was to close." the spiky red head said with a sigh of relief. "I think it went pretty well. Besides, you said we had to shake them, so I did." Dark said with a mental shrug. "It would have been nice to at least have a little warning before hand." Daisuke said as he continued on his way back home with Wiz bouncing onto his shoulder.
-Time skip- temporary Niwa residence-
When Daisuke got home he gave his mom the statue and went up to bed telling his family that he was tired. He got ready for bed and then climbed under the sheets. He laid there awake thinking about what he would do if the Mew mews showed up the next time Dark went to steal.
"There's no point in worrying over it, Dai." Dark said. Daisuke picked up a mirror from on the table beside his bed.
He looked and saw not his own reflection but Dark's. "But what if they manage to catch you or if they figure out our secret?" Daisuke said in a worried tone.
"First off, they won't ever be able to actually catch me." Dark said holding up one finger. "And second they won't figure out our secret because there's no way that they would even know who you are." he said holding up a second finger.
"I guess you're right, but I can't help but worry. I have this bad felling for some reason." Daisuke said before giving a yawn.
"Well then worry about it later, you should be getting some sleep now." Dark said as he himself gave a yawn.
"You're right." Daisuke said as he put down the mirror from where he took it.
"Aren't I always" Dark said with a small smirk.
Daisuke smiled and shook his head at his other half's words and said "Good night, Dark." as he made himself comfortable.
"Good night, Dai." Dark said.
Soon they were both asleep after a long, exhausting day with Wiz curled up in a ball next to Daisuke's head.
