As Daisuke strode into his classroom, he immediatly scanned the row of desks for Risa and her sister Riku. The strange thign was, they weren't there. With a shrug, he took his seat. Maybe they were late. Over by the window, he saw Mia sitting at a desk. She was busily reading something.
As the class progressed, there was still no sign of them. Finally, Daisuke turned to his friend, Saehara. "Where's Risa and Riku?" he inquired.
"Didn't you know?" Saehara swiveled around in his seat to stare at him curiously. "Over the weekend, they moved!"
"NANI?!"
Heads around the room turned to stare at Daisuke. The Japanese boy smiled sheepishly and averted frome everyone's gaze. "Gomen nasai..." he mumbled.
Saehara shook his head sadly. "But, I thought you knew." he whispered.
"I didn't know anything about it..."

After school, Daisuke strode home by himself, his thoughts racing.
"Risa's gone! How could this happen?!"
There was no reply from Dark.
"Dark! say something!" Daiske cried.
The being within him sighed. "I miss Riku..."
"Is that all you can say?!"
"Okay then. Talk to your mother when you get home."
Upon hearing this, Daisuke ran the last few blocks home. The moment he entered the door, he was greeted by his mother, Emiko.
"Welcome home, Daisuke!" she chirruped. "How was your day?"
"Mother! You won't believe this! Risa and Riku MOVED!"
His parent's smile faded. "Oh. That's not good."
"Kyoo..." something said.
By the stairs, With watched the events with interest, his ears wiggling slightly. "Kyoo." he repeated.
With a smile, Emiko patted With's head. Daisuke groaned. "Mother! What should I do?! If Risa's not here, I won't be able to transform into Dark!"
Emiko bit her lip thoughtfully. "Huh. I guess that would be a problem since I've already sent a notice out that you're going to steal that new piece of art at the musuem."
"But-"
"Which reminds me," Emiko Niwa placed her arms akimbo. "What happened last night at the museum?"
"W-What?"
His mother frowned. "You were supposed to steal the Maiden's Blade. Instead, another thief got to it."
"I don't know what happened!" Daisuke argued. "By the time I got there -yes, the time that was on the notice- the Blade was gone!"
"The reporters has been raving about some 'new female thief ' that appeared last night. Do you know anything about this?"
"It was stolen by Luna."
"Luna? Who's that?" Emiko appeared confused at first, but then, her confusion turned to realization. "Oh! Luna! You mean that thief from Osaka?"
"I guess...who is she?"
"Luna is a very famous thief, she's known for being almost impossible to catch, and for her beauty."
Daisuke glanced nervously at the clock. "Enough about Luna. What should I do about tonight?"
Emiko clapped her hands together resolutely. "I have an idea!" she cried, and dragged Daisuke off into the kitchen. "C'mon, son, I've got a plan!"

By 9:00 that night, Dark arrived at the museum. He sighed as he strode across the roof. What an afternoon. For two long hours, his mother had shown him picture after picture of Risa until finally, he transformed into Dark. Down below on the street, the police hadn't spotted him. Yet. Tonight, he was going to steal the Black Angel's Ring, a beautiful piece of jewelry made from carved silver.
He approached approached the far end of the roof. A moment later, he jumped back. Someone was sitting on the ledge!
The sound of someone's soft laughter met his ears. The person raised her head and smiled at him. "Well, well. The imfamous Dark."
Dark / Daisuke took a step back. "W-Who are you?" he asked, though it was quite obvious.
Luna looked away and began to twirl a lock of her long hair between two fingers. "I bet you're planning to steal that Ring, neh?" she extracted something from a bag she had strapped to her waist. "Don't bother, I've already gotten it."
Dark clenched his fists. Twice, she had gotten to the prize before him! To his surprise, Luna tossed the Ring over to him. "Take it."
"Excuse me?" Dark caught the Ring before it fell to the ground.
"I expected it to be prettier." Luna replied.
"Then why-"
Luna glanced over the ledge. "Oh dear, the police have spotted us." she said dully.
She spoke truely. Below, she police chief was already barking orders.
"Quickly! After them!"
"You, take your team up onto the roof. Don't let them get away!"
Dark now stood by Luna. "We should get going."
Luna smiled sweetly at him. To Dark's surprise, his heart skipped a beat. His surprise doubled as the lovely thief blew him a quick kiss as she leapt over the edge of the roof backwards.
He hurried over to the side. Luna was gone. She had vanished. However, now was not the time to be wondering. The police were coming. As Dark hurried off, Luna swung herself back onto the roof. She rubbed her hand ruefully. Hanging under a ledge sure hurt. But it got the job done. She reached into her pocket and drew out the REAL Black Angel's Ring.
