A/N: Good news! Luna finally makes an appearance in this chapter! If you guys have been waiting for her, she shows up now. And she gets a little reunion with Dark.
Chapter 4
The men cheered as a woman walked out onto the stage, her black hair with silver tips pulled up into a ponytail, swirled around her. Her violet eyes reflected the light, giving her a soft look.
Heart don't fail me now People always say Somewhere down this road Well, starting now I'm learning fast Home, love, family One step at a time Back to who I was Yes, let this be a sign At last!!!
Courage don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey...to the past
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
On this journey...to the past
There was once a time I must have had them too
Home, love, family
I will never be complete until I find you
One hope, than another
Who knows where this road may go
On to find my future
Things my heart still needs to know
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home...
She looked up when a girl came running into the club, who looked quite similar to her but did not have the silver streaks, stopped and stood in the doorway, panting.
"Mika?"
"I can't find Cryco!" Her eyes widened in horror and she dropped the microphone and ran towards Mika.
"Where'd he go?"
"Somewhere with some dude named Dark." The womans' eyes widened.
"Dark..." A tall blonde entered the club and looked at the woman.
"Luna?"
"Krad?" Another blonde, shorter than Krad, appeared and smiled at her.
"Luna!" Apolla ran forward and hugged her friend. "Where on earth did you go?! We've missed you!" Luna sighed slightly, and returned the hug to Apolla.
"Apolla....I..." Luna looked away from her friend and looked at Mika.
"Luna?"
"I have something I have to do. Where is Dark?" Krad sighed and removed his glasses.
"I believe him and Cryco are up to no good. The last disagreement they had was about who was faster. So I think they're somewhere racing each other." Luna sighed and put both hands on her forehead. Apolla put a hand on her shoulder.
"Luna? Why are you so worried about what this Cryco is doing?" Krad looked at Luna and then Mika. He understood now.
"She's worried because she is his mother. And I think we can figure out who the father is by looking at Cryco." Mika looked at her mother.
"You mean Dark is our father?"
"I think we should go find your brother in case he has one of his attacks."
~With Dark and Cryco~
Dark gasped with the effort he was putting on his wings just to keep up with Cryco. 'Man, he's fast! This doesn't have anything to deal with speed...I get the feeling he's had to escape nasty situations before and had to do so quickly.'
"You're falling behind old man!"
"I told you to stop calling me old man!" Dark narrowed his eyes. 'I have to keep in mind that if he gets to worked up, he'll have one of those attacks.' At that moment, Dark's heart gave a huge leap. His eyes widened. He recognized that feeling. He had felt it after Luna left all those years ago. 'She's here! Luna!!' Turning around, he started flying in the direction he felt the sensation coming from. At that moment, Cryco reappeared and slammed into Dark.
"What'd you that for?!"
"It was your idea for a race, so you should at least stick to it!" Dark saw that the purple streaks were now in Cryco's silver eyes.
"Calm down."
"No! You were running away!" Dark lowered his gaze.
"I can't argue with you on that, but I was only heading in a different direction." Dark looked back up to find that Cryco had disappeared. Looking down, he saw Cryco passed out on the concrete.
"Oh no..." Flying down towards him, he felt for his pulse and sighed in relief when he felt it. Gathering him in his arms, Dark looked at Cryco and sighed. 'Such a difficult, stubborn boy.' Closing his eyes, Dark tried to picture himself as a father.
"Dark!" Looking up, he saw Krad flying towards him. It was the first time in years, Krad has flown with his wings. Landing in front of him, Krad looked at the unconsious Cryco in his arms.
"We should get him back to his sister, right Krad?"
"Yeah. I saw Luna." Dark's eyes widened and Krad cringed inwardly.
"Where is she?"
"I believe on her way. Dark its not good, ok?"
"What? She's not dead is she? Or injured?"
"No...Dark, Luna is-" At that moment Luna and Apolla landed on either side of Krad. Dark saw Luna's eyes widen slightly, and she slightly gasped.
"Hello Luna." Looking away, Luna frowned. She couldn't deal with this reunion right now.
"Can you hand me Cryco, Dark?" Krad asked and Dark nodded, handing him over.
"He probably needs his medicine." Luna nodded when she heard that and turned away from the phantom thief, but was stopped when Dark grabbed her arm.
"Luna wait, please." She looked at him.
"What?"
"Where have you been?"
"I've been taking care of my children."
"Mika and Cryco are yours?" Luna nodded, and took a deep breath.
"And...yours." Dark narrowed his eyes in confusion.
"You were pregnant when you left?" Luna faced Dark completely.
"I didn't know, until two weeks later. If I known before I left, I would've stayed." Dark lowered his eyes.
"Then how come they didn't know about me?"
"I didn't want to confuse them. But in a way, they do know you."
"How?"
"I told them stories of a brave, handsome phantom thief who would infiltrate museums with a lot of people guarding them. Cryco loved the stories, Mika however was never too fond of them." Dark frowned sadly.
"But Cryco doesn't like me."
"He will if he found out you are the phantom thief from the story."
"One more thing Luna....How come Mika doesn't have the same disease as Cryco?" Luna looked like she was about to cry for a moment, but she took another deep breath.
"I don't know. But my theory is that it's because Mika doesn't have wings like her brother, who takes more after you."
"He doesn't seem like me."
"That's because he's irritated right now. He usually is when he's had one of his attacks. You would absolutely adore him when he's his usual self. Not to mention seeing a younger version of yourself. Nikkita loves him dearly. She'll be one of the people who will be affected if Cryco dies at a young age."
"What would you like to see him accomplish in life?" Luna smiled for a moment, before going on.
"I would love to see him accomplish his goals and to start his own family."
"His goals?"
"He wants to become a scientist."
"A scientist? Why?"
"So he can find a cure to his disease, and for anyone else who has the same disease." Dark nodded. It made sense. Luna continued. "And I would love to see him raise his own family as well. He's always been really good with children. I still remember when they were twelve, our neighbors had a little boy about 4 years old. I believe his name was Kenji. Kenji was always following Cryco around. But one day, some older boys started picking on him. Cryco was angered, and he beat them all up, before his attack started." Dark closed his eyes. Luna must've had a hard time raising them both, especially since only one of them has the disease and the other doesn't.
"Does he have other goals?"
"Yeah. To marry Nikkita. She is the love of his life. And she's the only girl who would hang around him, even though he's different." Dark felt a little choked up now.
"I really hope he can accomplish his goals Luna." She smiled at Dark and nodded her head.
"As do I. Mika is always telling him he should become a singer instead of a scientist. He has your voice Dark. Except he can hit really, really high notes. Even after puberty, he's always been able to hit the high notes without using his falsetto voice. He won the school talent show a few years back." Dark risked pulling Luna into his arms, and to his enjoyment, she didn't pull back or anything. Instead, she wrapped her arms around the phantom thief. Hopefully they could find a cure for Cryco....and soon.
