"Hikari…"

Just inside of the room which held the Twin Mirrors of Sorrow, Rina was in a tight situation. She could feel her heart beats quickening and her uncertainty rising. Staring into the Twin Mirrors of Sorrow, Rina gazed upon the reflection of Krad. His long, blonde hair. His golden eyes that seemed to have an ominous aura that glowed. Rina just stood there, holding the mirror with both hands as all she could do was stare into it. And stare into the reflection of Krad's eyes. Rina knew well to not underestimate Krad. Despite this being her third encounter with him, she knew not to take him lightly. Embracing her, Krad stared at Rina from the mirror with a smile. A cruel smile.

"Rina Niwa… It's funny how we bump into each other in such occasions. It's as if I simply can't get rid of you… that easily…," Krad said.

Flinching at the even words of indicating death, Rina felt the need to run away. To struggle free. But Rina knew better. Krad would kill her. She had no escape. Besides, Rina wanted to know. Deep inside, she truly wanted to know the secrets of the Niwa and Hikari Clans. The secrets that were kept from her by her parents, from Sekushi, and even from Dark. But she didn't want to learn it out of death.

"Rina Niwa, do you know why Sekushi despises Dark? Why he loathes him to the point in which Sekushi wishes to kill him?" Krad questioned with a laugh. Rina remained quiet, for she knew any answer would ensure her end. Krad didn't seem to even mind; he continued. "It is because he despises the Niwa Clan. He truly despises you too, Rina Niwa. He may not show it, he may not even admit it, but he regrets ever befriending his clan's enemy, the very people who have been stealing his clan's creations for centuries. In truth, he wants you and Dark to die. If the last of the Niwa's die, then Dark can never return. For once… 'my everything' will be happy."

"…" Even though she tried not to believe his words, Rina didn't know what to really believe anymore. Could Sekushi and Krad be working together like Krad had claimed? Even she was not certain. Sekushi Hiwatari had been her friend since they were children. Sure, they had grown apart for awhile, and currently their friendship still wasn't what it used to be, but Rina had a hard time believing Sekushi would try to kill her, of all people. Then again, she knew, it was a surprising fright when she discovered how desperate Sekushi had been before when he had tried to kill Dark the first time. She could recall in her mind the look of bitterness and anger in her childhood friend's eyes. "I… I don't believe you," was Rina's firm reply.

Krad seemed amused as he began to laugh, confusing Rina. With a grin, Krad held Rina even tighter as she winced; her wounds were opening. "Such a naïve girl, you are… Finally, I can discover your true nature, Rina Niwa. You've made me so curious. I want to know how a female can become Phantom Thief Dark. And now… I have you all to myself…," he murmured.

"Rina," Dark said.

"I know, Dark…," Rina whispered. "Go… I won't stop you this time."

Krad flinched as he realized Rina had changed back into Dark. Again, he was amused. Dark began to laugh nervously with a bit of a pissed face. "Wow, Krad, I'm flattered, but I'd rather be hugged by cute girls than you!" he shouted, punching Krad in the face. Krad backed away, annoyed. Dark stood there with a grin. "Krad, why don't you be a man and fight me instead?"

The blonde haired angel smiled slyly. "What? Afraid I was going to harass Rina Niwa more than necessary? I'm not a foul molester like you, Dark Mousy," he replied.

Dark glared, ticked off. "Why, you…," he gritted his teeth.

"Dark!" Rina called. Dark glanced over at the Twin Mirrors of Sorrow in his left hand to see Rina's reflection. "Dark, be careful! Krad… He's strong!"

"Heh." The Phantom Thief nodded. "Yeah, yeah. I know." He smirked. "Have a little faith in me, will you?"

Rina looked down. "Dark…," she whispered.

Krad stood there, his amusement slowly turning to annoyance, as he let out a white feather, charging towards Dark. Smirking, Dark did the same. The two collided as Krad, with full force, jammed and pinned Dark against the wall. Dark glared as he stared into Krad's golden eyes. "Why do you protect such a mortal, Dark?" Krad questioned intently, "She'll only betray you in the end. You know how humans are… They lie."

"Yeah?" Dark added with a chuckle. "Well…" He grinded his teeth as he punched Krad in the face. "… So do you!"

The blonde boy backed away, blood on his face. His white, magnificent wings began to release as his feathers spiraled around the room. "You can't protect her forever, Dark," Krad announced loudly, his voice echoing through the room. He extended his hand out as his beautiful white feather spiraled around the exhibit art room.

"I'll disappear one day…"

Rina froze in her spot. Her fears entered her as quickly as the sweat rolling down her cheek. As she watched Dark and Krad fight in her eyes, it only made her thoughts worsen. Dark will disappear one day, she reminded herself in her thoughts, He'll disappear from me… and I'll be… all alone…

Dark glared at Krad. "Well… At least I can try!" he shot back, shooting off his black wings towards Krad.

The power was so intense that the windows of the room shattered in an instant from the impact. Dark and Krad circled in the sky, fighting, as cameras and news reporters from below tried to videotape the moment. Unfortunately, the two took their battle quite higher in the sky as the grayish clouds made it so they could no longer be seen. Flashes of light that were mistaken for unseen lightning in the misty clouds shined through the skies. Dark clutched onto his left arm, the same arm that he was holding the Twin Mirrors of Sorrow in. He was wounded as he suddenly began to fall. Krad gave a cruel smile. White feathers surrounded the white angel with a strong force as they chased the Phantom Thief.

"Rina, forgive me…," Dark whispered. "I have no choice…"

"What are you saying?" Rina protested, "… Dark!"

Dark took a deep breath. "I have to use my magic… It will hurt you, but…"

"Use it!" Rina impulsively told him without a second thought, "If it'll help you defeat Krad, then use your magic, Dark!"

The purpled haired boy looked away. "Forgive me…," he repeated once more.

Rina could tell that in an instant, Dark's strength was different. As he returned, soaring high up in the sky, Dark felt powers he had never attained for the longest time rushing through his veins as he shot his black feathers towards Krad. Each one pierced the stunned Krad. Breathing uneasily, Krad began pulling out each of the feathers that were shot at him, glaring at Dark with his golden eyes.

As Dark's powers grew stronger, Rina couldn't help but not stay awake. Why am I getting so tired? She wondered. Everything's… getting dark… Dark began shooting off his feathers once more at Krad, who quickly made a shield out of his white feathers. The Phantom Thief then charged towards Krad as he punched Krad on the face twice and on the stomach as well. Dark couldn't help but grin. He could beat Krad easily now.

"Dark…" He could hear Rina. Her voice was shallow, drifting off quietly.

"Rina?"

"I can't… I can't…," she whispered, shaking her head. "It hurts…"

"Rina!"

Krad took advantage of Dark disadvantage, as he was distracted, as he shot all his white feathers protecting him to Dark. Each one pierced him. Dark grumbled in pain as he could hear Rina screaming in his mind. "Rina…," Dark said softly as he closed his eyes, growing unconscious, as he reverted back into Rina, who was too unconscious, as the pain tired her body and strength. Krad watched as Rina Niwa fell down from the sky. His hazy golden eyes flickered with intensity. Quietly, the blonde angel soared down and quickly caught his enemy in his arms. Rina winced for a moment, slowly opening her eyes.

"I knew it…," she whispered before growing to unconsciousness. "I knew you weren't… all that bad…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feeling a chilly wind breezily touching her pale skin, Rina opened her eyes to find she was in her room. She was tucked into her bed. Her brown eyes darted around, and then she noticed by her glass balcony doors that they were open. Immediately, Rina sat up and rushed out into the balcony. She wasn't too late. Her rescuer was just about to leave.

"Kr-Krad…," Rina said. He refused to turn and look at her. Instead, he kept his gaze on the night sky. The fourteen year old middle school student took a few more steps closer. She took her steps slowly, lest she would slip on Dark's black attire again. "I know you've done many terrible things… to Dark and to Sekushi… and even me, but… Thank you."

"You may try to hide it, but you humans are all alike."

"Huh?"

Krad turned half way around. "I will find out your secret. I'll find out what makes you so special… and when I do… nothing will stop me from killing you, Rina Niwa," he warned, staring coldly at her with his golden eyes.

"I'm not special. I'm just a middle school student," Rina replied quietly. "I don't know why this is happening to me, and I don't know why I can revert to Phantom Thief Dark. Then… I guess this is a race to see who can find out why I'm so 'special,' hm? You can try to kill me if you want… but I won't die that easily. Remember? You can't get rid of me that easily, Krad."

Chuckling under his breath, Krad closed his eyes. "Foolish human…," he murmured as his white wings stretched outward as he flied away into the night, leaving Rina Niwa standing there at her balcony.

Noticing something on the marbled floor, she slowly picked it up. Rina flinched. A… white feather…, she whispered. Looking up at the sky, Rina could've sworn she saw white petals fluttering above. But they weren't petals. They were feathers. Krad… Sekushi… Then a horrible thought surfaced her mind. Rina raced to her bedroom and searched the place hastily with pain-struck eyes. "Oh, no… Oh, Dark…"

"He took it… They took it… The Twin Mirrors of Sorrow…"
