Well, your long awaited chapter 4 is here. I don't spend much time on the computer as I used to, I have too much homework nowadays. BTW, I have finally seen the first 4 episodes of the D N Angel anime! I'm happy.
Chapter 4: Meeting the Niwas
Dark didn't change the expression he had on his face, he smiled instead, and clapped for her.
"So, you finally found out."
"Yes, and thanks to a certain someone."
"Are you talking about Satoshi?"
"Yes, you're very knowledgeable but you also helped me. I overheard you two at St. White's Day."
"I see. I can see why it would be Satoshi though, you two have been quite attached to each other for a while."
"Why are you asking? Are you jealous?"
"No, no. It's not that...I mean...yeah, sorta."
"Oh? I thought you liked the Harada twins."
"That doesn't mean that I can't like you."
"Well, it's too bad that you can't show your face in the day time."
"And if I did, I'd spend a lot of time with you."
"No you wouldn't! You'd be out stealing; If not objects, girl's hearts. I still remember from St. White's Day."
"Hmph...good point, but I still steal the hearts of millions even at night."
Satoshi jumped behind Dark and hand-cuffed his arms behind his back.
"Wha—"
"Hello, Dark," Satoshi said.
"S-Satoshi!?"
"I've finally caught you."
"That's what you think."
Dark tried to struggle out of the hand-cuffs, but failed.
"Thanks for your help Kazuko," Satoshi said.
"What?" Dark said turning his face towards her, "You were helping him!?"
"Sorry to break your heart. It's true, but don't get me wrong, I wasn't lying to you when we were talking. I really do like you."
"If you like me, why are you helping Satoshi?"
"Because it's either you or me."
Dark tried to struggle out of the hand-cuffs again, but he couldn't.
"So you were flirting with me for Satoshi to catch me."
"Well, yes, I was. But before that, it was just for fun. Satoshi, this was too easy."
"........."
Wiz swooped down and bit the hand-cuffs in two, Dark was free and he ran away with the Everlasting Candle.
"Damn it!" Satoshi said.
Kazuko ran after Dark and Dark saw that she was following him.
"Perhaps we should have another talk?"
"That's fine with me."
They ran to the front of Daisuke's house.
"Dark, where are we?"
"This is my house, or should I say Daisuke's. It's safe o talk in here."
"And why are you bringing me here when this is Daisuke's house?"
"Daisuke wanted to talk to you," he said opening the door.
Emiko was in the kitchen when Dark came in the house, Kazuko was standing right behind him.
"Oh, hello Dark. How come you haven't switched back into Daisuke yet?"
"We have company."
He stepped out of the way and revealed Kazuko to her.
"This is Kazuko? Oh she's adorable," she said walking into the living room.
"Err..." Kazuko said, "Uh...how do you know me?"
"Dai-sweetie talks about you. I just had to see you!"
"Um...thank...you?"
Emiko and Kazuko started a conversation, as they kept on talking, Dark transformed back into Daisuke and changed his clothes.
"Kazuko, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Why are you a thief?"
"Why am I? Hm...I only steal for fun. I love competition."
"If you steal for fun...the artifacts...do you know what the artifacts mean to us?"
"I-I'm sorry, I don't."
"What do you do with them?"
"...I keep them in my closet. I don't have anything to do with them. It would be suspicious if I give it back to the museum. Um...do you want them? I only steal small things."
"That would be great, we need to...do something to them."
"Err...okay."
"Mom," Daisuke started walking up to them, "Kazuko and I need to talk."
"Oh, okay dear."
"Emiko, do we have any shampoo-"Kousuke said while walking into the living room. He was about to take a shower so the only thing that he had on was a towel around his waist. He looked at the door and saw Kazuko, "Ah!"
He ran to the next room and said, "Uh...h-hi there...I...didn't know w-we had company."
"It's okay, sir. By the way, my name is Kazuko."
"K-Kazuko...my name is Kousuke...I'm Daisuke's dad. N-Nice to meet you."
"I wish I could say the same, I'm sorry if I caught you at a bad time."
"I-It's no problem."
"Um...do you want to talk somewhere else?"
"Sure, that's fine with me," she replied.
Daisuke and Kazuko walked to the balcony and she leaned on the rail.
"You have a great family, Daisuke," she said in a calm voice.
"I guess I do, But, isn't your family like this?"
"I can't remember...My parents died 3 years ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's alright," she said putting her right arm on her left shoulder. Her face seemed like she was hurt.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. My shoulder just started to hurt, that's all."
"How did your parent's die?"
"I...don't want to talk about it."
She started into the night sky and her shoulder started to hurt again. She leaned forward in pain.
"Kazuko, are you sure you're okay?"
"Daisuke, I'm fine. I know what's wrong with me."
"Is there something wrong with your shoulder?"
"Nothing unusual to me."
"Then why do you keep on clenching it?"
"...It's nothing."
"Kazuko, you're hurt. Did Dark to this to you?"
"...No, I've had this feeling for a while now."
"What is it?"
"........."
She unbuttoned her shirt a little bit and uncovered her left shoulder; There was a dark red marking on the back of it. It had two dots and a 3-pointed shape in between.
"This is what it is."
"What is it?"
"It's...a wound."
"It doesn't look like one."
"It's a wound...that my parents left me."
"Your parents...beat you?"
"...No, I'll tell you some other day," she said buttoning back her shirt, "Now then, I know this isn't the kind of conversation you wanted. What do you really want to ask me?"
"Oh, right. Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"Not that I know of. Why do you ask?"
"I just want to get to know you better."
"Okay then..."
Wiz walked up in the balcony and jumped onto Daisuke's shoulder.
"Kyuu!"
"Hey, Wiz."
"Is that your pet?"
"Um...yeah, sorta."
"He looks like the thing that helped you earlier. But it looks a little different from before."
"Um..well, you see. He...just looks bigger in the dark." (Lying of course)
She looked at him rather suspiciously, "Hm...I guess I have no choice but to believe in you, but there's something odd about that. She walked up to Wiz and looked at him more closely, "You're so cute, Wiz. I wish I had a pet like you."
"Kyuu!"
She went back to leaning on the balcony and Daisuke stared at her.
She looked back, "Something wrong?"
"It always seems that you have different personalities."
"Really, I don't notice that."
"When your talking to Dark, you seem more flirtatious, but when you talking to me or my family, you seem...nicer. It's kinda like you have split personalities like me and Dark."
She smirked and chukled.
"Oh, Daisuke. I wish I could tell you, maybe someday I will."
"About what?"
"You have so many question about my past." I don't want to tell you just yet, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, at least I got to know a little bit about you."
"That's good. Will, I'll be on my way home."
"I'll walk you too the door."
"You're such a gentleman, Daisuke."
