Shizuka is caught in the middle today! Her crush, a fellow rabbi-in-training and an upperclassman, has her eye and she tries to score a date with him, but at the same time, she has her own work to do, thinking about Hikari's next mission. But this is going to get difficult when Shizuka's crush is starting to get in on the girls' secret. How can they throw him off?

"My name is Katsumi Hikari, a sixteen-year-old eleventh-grader, or at least I am during the day, but because I come from two long family lines of Phantom Thieves, I have to take up that legacy to right the wrongs of others. My best friend Shizuka and my boyfriend Junichi are at my side, but with my class' most klutzy and academically incompetent boy, Kenshin Jiro Jr. on my tail, I have yet another obstacle to overcome. And yet, I've always known that with my capabilities and thieving running through my blood and genes, I'll overcome any adversary or boundary. Because with great athleticism and stealth, God will punish those who are corrupt!"

In a town of criminals gone berserk, we call upon a beautiful Kaitou for help...

Love And Sins: Shizuka's Predicament!

Previously…

Shizuka blushed and then she sighed happily. However, her face soon fell as her cheeks went pink, and then she felt herself wanting to giggle.

"Shizuka, what's the matter?" Hikari asked.

"Um… the thing is… I have a bit of a crush." Shizuka said.

"WHAT? YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON SOMEONE?" Everyone shouted.

"Hai… His name is Kennai Takeo-senpai. He's a third-year in the high school division and he's also a Rabbi-in-training." Shizuka said, as she was blushing and holding onto her cheek.

"Shizuka!" Hikari said, playfully, as she started nudging her best friend. "Since when did you start crushing on an upperclassman, and why didn't you tell me about it sooner?"

"We've been so busy righting the crimes of others that I haven't had the time," Shizuka said. "Besides, I have other priorities than finding love. I'm supposed to be finding crimes for you to right."

"You're right," Junichi said. "We can't be focused on romance right now. Speaking of which, we should be getting back home and working on our homework."

"Let's go!" Hikari said. "Happy Birthday, Shizuka! See you tomorrow!"


The next morning, Hikari and Shizuka were walking to school and talking about stuff in general. However, Shizuka stopped walking and she blushed. Noticing this, Hikari followed her best friend's gaze to see an older boy with black hair and grey eyes talking with some other boys.

"Oi," Hikari said. "Would that be Kennai-senpai?"

"Hai…" Shizuka said. "My senpai in the Rabbi training program. He's so kind."

"Knowing him, he probably thinks Red Velvet Cake is just another petty crook." Hikari said, rolling her eyes.

"I actually overheard him talking with some friends the other day…" Shizuka said.

~Flashback~

Shizuka was getting ready to leave the school temple, since training was over for the day. She was about to leave when she saw Kennai-senpai and a few of his friends talking while leaving the synagogue.

"Yes, that Kenshin Jr. is a complete idiot," Kennai said. "He can't catch Red Velvet Cake at all. Heck, he only gets close, but she always slips away. Not like she really deserves to be caught anyhow."

"What do you mean by that, Takeo? I know Red Velvet Cake is a thief, but she always does it for the right reasons. You should know that." One of Kennai's friends said.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about; Red Velvet Cake only steals to right the crimes of others, so why arrest someone who's an aid to the incompetent cops?" Takeo said.

"You're right," Takeo's friend said. "She should just be let go and allowed to do what she does best: rectifying the sins and crimes of the greedy and corrupt."

Shizuka was overhearing this conversation and started blushing happily.

"That's a given," Takeo said. "But we need to get to classes."

Shizuka was then startled when she learned she was about to be late for class and then bailed out from the synagogue using the back door.

~End of Flashback~

"…Looks like he's a fan of yours." Shizuka said.

"Okay, but I think he might be catching on if we're not careful." Hikari said.

The bell started ringing and then the girls started fleeing to class.


After classes were over for the day, Shizuka was at the synagogue and changing into her Rabbi clothes.

Then, a pregnant woman came in to the synagogue and sat down with a crestfallen look on her face.

Shizuka noticed this, and then turned to the woman and asked, "May I help you?"

"Hai…" She said. "My name is Utau Kage. My late husband, Tōya, died in a hit and run accident two months ago, and soon after that… We were robbed."

"Robbed? Robbed of what, and by whom, if I may ask?" Shizuka said, getting intrigued. 'This could be another case for Hikari-chan.'

"My late husband's great grandfather… His famous Faberge eggs were stolen recently. Some masked thief has been stealing a lot of valuable jewelry lately. Obviously it can't be Kaitou Red Velvet Cake. Anyway, this new thief has been stealing valuables for weeks and I'm certain that he's in cahoots with my old boss, Ayumi." Utau said.

"Ayumi? As in Yumeno Ayumi?" Shizuka asked.

"That's her. I'm almost certain that she's directing this person behind the scene. All I know is that whenever I was at work, I would see the stolen items that were in the newspaper in her office every now and again, and whenever the police would search her, they would always come up with nothing. When my great-grandfather-in-law's eggs were stolen, I saw them in Ayumi's office. I confronted her about it, but she just fired me out of anger and then I saw her talking to the thief outside the window. No matter how many times I asked for the eggs back, she would always throw me out." Utau explained.

"Wow…" Shizuka said.

"Tōya's great grandfather was a famous jeweler and he would often make Faberge eggs with real gold, silver, gemstones, and minerals, but he moved to Russia while he was born Japanese." Utau said.

"So these eggs are very valuable to you and your late husband…" Shizuka said. 'Seems like this one is going to be a tough case. Hopefully Hikari-chan and Junichi-kun can do something about this.'

"Right, and I want my unborn baby to know about his/her late father, who I wish to have my Faberge eggs returned for." Utau said.

"I'm sure God has heard your cries and is going to help you." Shizuka said.

"Thank you…" Utau said.

Utau left the synagogue and Shizuka went to pondering what to do.

What she did not notice was that Takeo was watching from another part of the room, and he was really out of the way, since Shizuka did not notice him.

'Shizuka-kohai has really improved with her pragmatics. But that look on her face… She seems concerned.' Takeo thought.

Takeo then approached Shizuka and he said, catching her by surprise, "Shizuka-kohai, what seems to be the trouble?"

Shizuka made a startled jump and then turned around to see her crush actually speaking to her.

"K-Kennai-senpai…" Shizuka said, blushing.

"Are you worried for your recent client?" Takeo asked.

"H-Hai…" Shizuka said, blushing. 'Oh, no! What am I going to do? I can't tell him I'm in cahoots with Kaitou Red Velvet Cake!'

"I know how you feel," Takeo said, catching Shizuka off-guard. "It's difficult to hear sad stories of the sinned and it's even harder knowing that there's nothing you can do about it. It only seems to get worse the more you read into it, too."

'Well… He has a point, but Kennai-senpai doesn't understand that my situation is different! I'm the informant to Kaitou Red Velvet Cake, but I can't tell him that!' Shizuka thought. "Be that as it may, God WILL answer their prayers."

"Too true. However, I have noticed something about you." Takeo said.

"Wh-What is that?" Shizuka said, blushing. 'What has he noticed?'

"I noticed how you and Katsumi Hikari-san are such good friends." Takeo said.

Shizuka sighed of relief and sweat dropped from it, too.

"Is that it?" Shizuka said, casually.

"That, and the fact that you two seem to share a lot of little secrets with each other." Takeo said.

'Actually, one LARGE secret.' Shizuka thought.

"However, you two are always in private with each other, and you seem to whisper a lot. Your secrets must be something either really embarrassing, or really serious." Takeo said.

'Oh, no! He's catching on.' Shizuka thought. "I should get going! I'm meeting up with Hikari-chan later today!"

Shizuka then bolted from the synagogue and soon felt her heart pumping.

Hikari was heading to the synagogue to meet with Shizuka when said rabbi-in-training ran over, grabbed her best friend, and then fled to another part of the campus.


As soon as they were alone, the two girls were panting and Hikari shouted, "What the heck was that about?"

"Sorry, I just felt like Kennai-senpai was catching on to our secret." Shizuka said.

"Uh-oh! We can't let him know ANYTHING!" Hikari said.

"I know that much," Shizuka said. "But I really like him…"

"Look, love doesn't have anything to do with making sure that we help others with their problems!" Hikari asked. "What's more important: righting others' crimes or worrying over our love lives?"

"Easy for you to say," Shizuka said. "Junichi-kun is your boyfriend and partner."

"You do have a point there, Shizuka," Hikari said as she understood how her friend must feel. "But more to the point: are there any missions right now?"

Shizuka then related to Hikari what she had learned to which Hikari replied, "Faberge Eggs? Man, those are not only super expensive, but they're also super valuable as they increase in value every day."

"I know, but we have to get them back for Utau Kage's sake," noted Shizuka as she went deep into thought on the matter at hand. "It's for her late husband. She's about to give birth, and the baby won't have a dad to look up to, so we need those eggs back to help her know she DID, in fact, have a dad."

"Shizuka, this is going to be a tough mission. There's just more than a lot of crimes to right at stake here. I know the place, but finding those eggs after so many of Kage-san's attempts to get them back may not be so easy anymore. Knowing Yumeno Ayumi, she probably has them locked up in a safe or something by now. Plus, I'm also concerned about that new thief." Hikari noted to Shizuka.

"You could be right. There's more than just our cover at stake, and I mean that there's much more than that. And if we're not careful, Kennai-senpai could find out about our secret and we'll be busted BIG TIME." Shizuka said.

"We can't have that happen." Hikari said.

"Having my crush find out our secret, or getting our covers blown to the cops?" Shizuka asked.

"Both," Hikari said. "The last thing I want is for this one to be in vain, and that's the last thing that's going to happen!"

"We'll need to make sure that our meetings are in complete private from now on. Meet me at the synagogue tomorrow at dusk and I should be able to gather together some special tools that you and Junichi may very well need" Shizuka told her friend and Hikari nodded her head in agreement as they left off in different directions.

Hikari was in her house, pacing back and forth in her bedroom. She was in a bit of a panic about this mission, as she had no idea what to do.

"Angel-chan, should I send the warning notice, or shouldn't I?" Hikari asked her parrot.

All Angel did was make some squawking noises, and since Hikari did not speak parrot, she just assumed that Angel said 'yes'.

"This is going to be one tough case… Might as well just forego it and just let that new thief be part of the challenge. The last thing I want is an annoying and inept cop in the way…" Hikari said, as she fed Angel some apple chunks. "Wait a second… I've got an idea!"


The next morning before classes, Hikari was setting up her bag for school when Junior approached.

"Oi, Katsumi!" Kenshin Jr. said.

"What is it?" Hikari inquired, annoyed.

"Red Velvet Cake has become even more of a nuisance lately, hasn't she?" Kenshin Jr. inquired.

"A nuisance? For once you said it correctly, but still, she's no nuisance! You owe her big time for helping everyone who was robbed or sinned!" Hikari said.

"And what makes you think I should be in debt to a thief?" Kenshin Jr. said.

"The proper phrase is 'indebted', you illiterate moron!" Hikari shouted back.

"Katsumi-san has a point to give you," Takeo said, as he walked into the room. "Red Velvet Cake is more of a heroine than she is a thief. She should be left alone like your dad says she should. You're nothing more than a clumsy idiot, Junior. The sooner you give up, the better it will be for everyone here, and you can actually focus on a test for once."

"No! I won't give up!" Junior said. "Not until she realizes what she's doing…"

"Should be overlooked and left alone. She's helping so many people, and how many people has she assisted in arresting?" Takeo interrupted as he then left the classroom.

"Thank you, Kennai-senpai." Hikari said. She subtly snapped her fingers and then a warning notice appeared in Kenshin Jr.'s hands.

Junior read the letter and it said, "Tonight at 9 PM, I will be at the Yumeno Corporation to pick up two Faberge eggs – Red Velvet Cake."

"What the hell is this? I'm going to get that thief no matter what it takes!" Junior said, all riled up.

'Hmph. Maybe he'll get the thief, but because I didn't put the right time on, he won't be getting his hands on ME.' Hikari thought, smirking.

Junichi peeked into the room, and then both he and Hikari winked at each other before class got started.

Shizuka was in the synagogue and she was secretly catching glances at Takeo, who seemed to catch her staring before Shizuka averted her gaze.

'Sagami-kohai seems nervous. What's on her mind?' Takeo thought.

Shizuka tensed up; she knew her beloved upperclassman was thinking about her, but she was positive that he was catching on to her secret.

'Oh man… I can't have Kennai-senpai know ANYTHING about our secret as Rabbi and Kaitou! We'll get busted. Besides, just as Hikari-chan said…' Shizuka thought.

~Flashback~

"Uh-oh! We can't let him know ANYTHING!" Hikari said.

"I know that much," Shizuka said. "But I really like him…"

"Look, love doesn't have anything to do with making sure that we help others with their problems!" Hikari asked. "What's more important: righting others' crimes or worrying over our love lives?"

~End of Flashback~

'She's right… Love doesn't have to do with helping people who have been wronged.' Shizuka thought.

"Shizuka-kohai," Takeo said, as he approached Shizuka. "Are you okay? You ran off in a hurry yesterday."

"Uh… Ah, Kennai-senpai," Shizuka said, turning around to her crush. "Please forgive me, but Hikari-chan and I were late for a study session yesterday." 'That was a poor fib…'

"Are you sure that's all it was? It seemed like it was something bigger." Takeo said.

'Snap! He's catching on…' Shizuka thought. "Senpai, I'm fine! I need to get going!"

Shizuka then left the synagogue in a huff while Takeo just looked at Shizuka with concern.


Later at her house, Hikari was sharing bananas and strawberries with Angel and was talking about her newest mission with her parents.

"Yumeno Ayumi is the thief this time? She's one tough cookie. From what I know, she always seems to hide the evidence of the crimes before the cops they even come around." Eriko said.

"You've robbed her before?" Hikari asked.

"Yes, but she was not an easy person to steal from. The security is tighter than what you would normally have, with infrared security beams, tons of cameras, and an impossible combination. I've had quite a few close calls with her security system… Hikari-chan, be careful." Eriko warned.

"Thanks, Mom," Hikari said. "I think that Angel shouldn't sit this one out. She should come along in the event I can't get through something if I'm too big."

"Good thinking, Hikari-chan," Tatsuo said. "But you should head to the synagogue. Shizuka is probably waiting for you."

"Right," Hikari said. "Angel, let's go!"

Angel and Hikari then ran out of the house, and on their way to the synagogue to see what Shizuka had up her sleeve.

Meeting Shizuka and Junichi at the synagogue, Hikari could not help but notice Shizuka's skittish demeanor and so inquired, "What's wrong, Shizuka? You seem jumpy for some reason."

"Sorry, but I'm concerned that Kennai-senpai may be lurking around trying to spy on us or something," Shizuka replied as she walked over to a table and took out a stethoscope.

Shizuka's hunch was correct, as Takeo was hiding near the entrance door to the synagogue, watching and listening to their conversation.

"If you're expecting us to play 'Doctor', Shizuka, then you've got another thing coming." Hikari commented with a blush in her cheeks.

"Iie, this is for in the event you should have to crack the safe in Yumeno-san's office. Just place the listening end next to the combination dial and you'll be able to hear the combination's lock opening" Shizuka answered in all seriousness.

"And here I was getting my hopes up," joked Junichi only to get a punch in the arm. "OW! Hikari-chan, what's the deal?"

"Don't be so perverted or I'll break off our date for this weekend" Hikari hissed at him.

"I was only teasing, Hikari-chan" Junichi replied and Hikari decided to let it go at that.

"There are also these infrared goggles that you can use to see Infrared lasers and other radiation that could prove hazardous in your mission." Shizuka said, as she gave her two friends the goggles.

"Good, now we can see what there is for infrared security, and I mean that literally." Hikari said.

"Alright, you two had better be going before Kennai-senpai gets here" Shizuka told them and the two nodded their heads in agreement.

Hikari put her hands together, closed her eyes, and then took a deep breath.

"Oh God, forgive me, for I use no lies or façades!" Hikari said.

The necklace started to shine dark red as the magic sparkles and glow started to surround Hikari, while she transformed into her Kaitou outfit.

"Mélange! (Blend!)

Hikari put on her red mask and took out the ribbon in her hair, letting it fall down to her mid back, and it turned a lighter shade of brown in the process. She then lifted her hands in the air, forming the gloves, which were dark red, with pink fringes on the ends.

"Cuire au four! (Bake!)

Dark red knee-high boots were formed on Hikari's legs and then on the toes a cupcake appeared. Her dark red dress then formed all over her body, and the skirt was 1 or 2 inches above her knees, and it had pink lace on it.

"Décorez!"

Hikari's hair was then adorned with red velvet cake crumb-like beads that glistened in the light of the synagogue. Her eyelids were then glossed over with magic sparkles that left behind a light layer of eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Then a wave of magic sparkles passed over her lips and then left behind a light pink layer of lipstick. Her cheeks were then brightened up with some blush and then she smiled, with white teeth shining.

Hikari – now Red Velvet Cake – then posed: she flexed her leg out to the left, put her hands on her hips, smiled, and then let the wind move her hair in the gentle breeze.

Junichi put his hands together and closed his eyes as he said, "Oh, God, please let me help those in need!"

The rosary started to shine dark brown as the magic sparkles and glow started to surround

Junichi, while he transformed into his Kaitou outfit.

"Sin!"

Junichi put on his top hat. He then lifted his arms and hands in the air forming the Dark brown tuxedo with light brown trip.

"Steal!"

His Cape was formed behind Junichi and then the cape went onto Junichi shoulders.

"Forgive!"

Junichi's mask was formed at the top of Junichi head, which it moved and went on Junichi's face.

Junichi, who was now Dark Devil's Cake then posed: his eyes open, he tipped his hat, his arms crossed and he was smiling.

Shizuka, Dark Devil's Cake, and Red Velvet Cake then lowered their heads, and said, "May The Eternal One's blessing be our path to victory."

Unable to see or hear what all was just said or happened, Kennai soon noticed Red Velvet Cake and Dark Devil's Cake leap out an upper window and took off into the night.

"You know, Shizuka-kohai, it is a great honor to be the select informant to one Phantom Thief, but to be the informant to two of them…you truly are blessed" Takeo said as he stepped out of the shadows and placed a gentle hand upon Shizuka's shoulder and startling the girl.

"Y-You saw?" Shizuka asked in deep concern.

"I saw, and your secret is safe with me. Besides, it's not like that Kenshin idiot would ever figure it out even if Red Velvet Cake were to walk up and slap him in the face with a full confession. Keep up the good work, Shizuka-kohai, and let me know if there's anything I can do to help you" Kennai said with a warm smile as he kissed Shizuka on the cheek before walking away.

Shizuka just blushed deeply as she placed a hand upon the cheek Takeo had just kissed and slumped down onto a bench in surprise.

"I don't believe this… Of all people to stumble onto our secret, it had to be Kennai-senpai!" Shizuka said, as she held her head in a panic while her eye was twitching.

Takeo, meanwhile, was walking away with a bright smile and hearts in his eyes, as the girl he secretly had a crush upon was also the chosen informant to Kaitou Red Velvet Cake and Dark Devil's Cake.

"Good luck, Shizuka-kohai," Takeo said. "May God be with you."


Meanwhile, Red Velvet Cake, Dark Devil's Cake, and their respective parrots were sneaking around the city rooftops to find the Yumeno Corporation.

"I played a little trick on Jr.; the warning notice says I would show up at nine in the evening, but it's only eight! I totally have him confused!" Red Velvet Cake said.

"So he's going to arrive…" Dark Devil's Cake said.

"Just in time to catch Ayumi red-handed!" Red Velvet Cake said, replying to her friend.

"Nice!" Dark Devil's Cake said.

"Now let's get those eggs back!" Red Velvet Cake said.

They soon made it to the work building only to see another thief enter. However, he had an access card and then the security was shut down. Red Velvet Cake motioned for Dark Devil's Cake to go and eavesdrop on Ayumi and whoever just accessed the building.

The masked man came in and then put down some rare gemstones in front of his boss.

"Excellent, Jirokichi. More valuables, more money, more comfort for me! Hahahaha!" Ayumi said, before cackling evilly. "Here; take a few diamonds."

Ayumi then tossed the smaller diamonds over to her secretary and then he caught them in his hand.

Red Velvet Cake and Dark Devil's Cake then raised themselves back onto the roof and Red Velvet Cake said, "Looks like we've found our thieves. It seems Ayumi's secretary does the stealing, but she's the one covering up the crimes. Just what are they thinking?"

"Don't worry," Dark Devil's Cake said. "We'll get those eggs back!"

"I know we will. Let's use the goggles to see if there are any infrared security beams in the area." Red Velvet Cake said, as she donned the goggles.

Through the lenses, Red Velvet Cake saw that since the access card was used to deactivate the system, there were no security beams in the building.

"Looks like that new thief was stupid and basically granted us entrance." Dark Devil's Cake said.

Red Velvet Cake then gummed up the security cameras and then the two thieves ran I straight through the door. However, they kept their goggles on because they did not want to goof up their mission.

Red Velvet Cake soon found the entrance to Ayumi's office and then the two started to eavesdrop.

"As soon as we steal much more of these priceless valuables, we'll just blame it all on Red Velvet Cake! We'll be stinking rich!" Ayumi said.

'Oh, that witch!' Red Velvet Cake thought.

Dark Devil's Cake took a wire out from under the door, and it had a miniature microphone on it. It was attached to a voice recorder and winked at his partner.

Their parrots soon started to get antsy and then the two teens hid by suddenly hanging from the ceiling. They saw as Jirokichi left the office and what he did not notice was that a buttercream bead was on the floor. It exploded and then he was covered in buttercream and was stuck on the floor.

"What's going on?" Ayumi shouted, as she ran out of the room and saw her secretary in his situation.

Red Velvet Cake dropped a bead on her head, and she was stuck in her buttercream trap, too.

"Angel!" Red Velvet Cake said, sending her parrot into the room.

"Prince!" Dark Devil's Cake said, sending his own parrot inside Ayumi's office.

"Get those eggs!" The two thieves said, sending their birds inside.

The two birds flew up and down to dodge the laser beams and then they found a safe where the eggs were. However, no matter how hard they pecked or clawed, they could not open the safe.

"Time for that stethoscope Shizuka gave us." Red Velvet Cake said, as she took out the stethoscope, places it against the lock, and then she heard the combination as she made the turns on the dial.

Dark Devil's Cake was watching the two captives to make sure they did not flee, and sure enough, they were stuck.

"Quick, hurry and unlock the safe!" Dark Devil's Cake said.

Red Velvet Cake soon broke the combination and then she extracted the two Faberge eggs that were stolen.

"I got them!" Red Velvet Cake said. "Angel, take one egg and fly out the window. Wait for me on the roof."

"Same to you, Prince!" Dark Devil's Cake said.

He extracted the SD card from his digital voice recorder, and placed it next to the crooks while leaving a note.

Both birds, each carrying an egg in their beaks, flew onto the roof to wait for their partners.

Soon, several patrol cars came to surround the building and then Red Velvet Cake and Dark Devil's Cake saw that the cops had arrived.

Kenshin Jr. was amongst them and then he pointed at Red Velvet Cake, before shouting, "Kaitou Red Velvet Cake! I've got you this time!"

"You're too late, Kenshin Jr.," Red Velvet Cake said, as she showed Junior the eggs. "The real thieves are inside, and we've got proof that they did it. You're too late to catch us, but you can get the real crooks!"

Dark Devil's Cake laughed, and said, "Sorry Junior, but you're still as inept as ever!"

"What?" Kenshin Jr. said, as he then threw a grappling hook tied to a rope up to the roof, and then he climbed all the way to the top to get his two targets. "You're still not getting away!"

"Angel!" Red Velvet Cake said, as her parrot attacked.

"You too, Prince!" Dark Devil's Cake said.

Both parrots started attacking Kenshin Jr. as Red Velvet Cake got the eggs and then the two thieves jumped off of the roof.

The parrots returned to their owners' shoulders as Dark Devil's Cake took our his hand helicopter and the two started flying away to their destination.

"I'll get you!" Kenshin Jr. said, as he was about to give chase, but all he did in the process was fall off of the roof, but his fall was cushioned by some of the other cops catching him.

Red Velvet Cake snickered at Junior's misfortune and then she smiled at her boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Utau was in the hospital, having just given birth to a baby girl, named Tsuki. She sighed sadly, knowing her Faberge eggs were gone for good. She then fell asleep in her bed with her baby, and then started to cry.

Red Velvet Cake then opened up the window to her hospital room, and silently put the two eggs down on her desk. She then left out the window and left a note that said, "Take care of your husband's memories."


The next morning, Shizuka was walking to school alone when Takeo ran up to her, took her hand, and then started walking her to class.

Junichi and Hikari were walking behind them, happy that they had a new member of their team.

"Now that Kennai-senpai is in on our secret, I hope that he can keep hold of his promise and to make sure we don't screw up." Junichi said.

"Since when have we ever screwed up?" Hikari asked, smartly.

"You're right," Junichi said. "What was I thinking?"

Kenshin Jr. then came up behind Hikari, tapped her shoulder, and then said, "Red Velvet Cake will be in my hands soon, Katsumi! Just you wait!"

Hikari then got all riled up again as she shouted, "You're nothing more than a clumsy idiot! What are you capable of?"

Kenshin Jr. then ran on ahead as Hikari ran after him in anger. She was not happy about Junior's bad mouth.

"Well, looks like Kenshin Jr. needs a lesson on a girl's feelings." Takeo said.

"You certainly know how to treat a girl in need, Kennai-senpai." Shizuka said.

"Call me 'Takeo-senpai', or even 'Takeo', Shizuka-kohai." Takeo said, smiling.

Shizuka hugged her new boyfriend while Junichi took off after Hikari and Kenshin Jr. to stop Hikari from doing anything rash.


That went well, didn't it? Looks like we have a new ally on the team. I wonder if he will prove faithful? Let's find out, shall we?

Next time…

Hikari: Obaa-chan! Obaa-chan! My Obaa-chan is here for a visit! Just like Mom once was, she was a Phantom Thief, too!

Shizuka: Looks like the three generations of Fujisaki women are going to band together tonight!

Hikari: It's a mother-daughter-granddaughter collaboration!

Next time: "Fujisaki Women: Three Generation Heist!"
