I'm finally back! So sorry for the long wait, a month before I moved to Hawaii, my computer was packed so I couldn't progress on my stories as quickly. But now, I'm in Hawaii! In your faces! Just kidding! Before reading this chapter, please read the first chapter first, because I changed some of the things around and it's kind of different. What I mean is, that it's a lot better than before, because I received a bad review for my first chapter and when I read over it, I realized that it was actually sucky. I didn't like it so I rewrote it. Oh, and their Americanized schedule is back to being the regular Japanese schedule. I just wanted to get a certain idea into the fic. I recently bought the first DVD and it's my favorite anime also! But, this fic directly takes place in the manga. The anime is way too different. Well, I might put some things that happen only in the anime in here. Anyways, here's chapter 2!
Chapter 2- Plans to Capture
Next morning, Daisuke wakes up and gets ready for another day of school. "(I wonder what today will bring.)" Daisuke thinks as he leaves home.
Before Daisuke's out of sight, Emiko shouts out, "Daisuke! Tonight you have some more work to do! Don't go making any plans with your friends!" She waves bye to her only son.
"(Not again! I just stole something two days ago!)" Daisuke complains to himself, and the other resident living inside of him.
"Hey! No complaining! Remember that it's me who's doing all the work!" Dark reminds the boy.
"(Yes I know, forgive me.)" He then meets up with Risa on his way. "Hey Risa! Ogenki desu ka?" He asks with a smile.
"I'm fine. How are you doing this morning?" She asks back.
"Everything's great! I never thought Kaname would be such a great friend. I'm still in a good mood from yesterday." Daisuke tells her.
"Well, it's nice to know that you two are getting along very well. I do recall you being very friendly with Satoshi too. How come your not talking to him anymore?" Risa asks.
"Well, he's kind of busy this past week and I don't want to give him a hard time. (Also busy keeping Krad from coming out.)" Daisuke answers. He then changes the subject. "So where's Riku?" he asks.
"She's training as usual. You know her." Risa answers. They reach the school and enter their class. "Well, I guess I'll be talking to you later!" Risa tells him as she walks to her friends.
"Yeah, I guess." He sits in his seat and thinks about his meeting with the younger Harada twin. "(You know what Dark? I'm pretty happy that Risa and I just turned out to be friends.)" Daisuke tells his alter ego.
"Yeah, since you know that she'll never love you since she's too obsessed with me." Dark replies.
"(Oh shut up!)" He then turns and sees his new friend. "(Hey! It's Kaname!) Hey Kaname! What's up?" Daisuke greets his new friend.
"Nothing much. The sky and ceiling." He jokes.
"Hmm, your right." Daisuke goes along. They both laugh a little then begin conversing.
"Hey Daisuke! Do you know what I heard from Takashi?" Kaname begins.
"What? What did he tell you?" Daisuke wonders what his friend told the new guy.
"He told me that Satoshi's a commander in chief that's in charge of capturing Dark! Isn't that cool!" Kaname answers,
"(What? That stupid Takashi!) Yeah, I guess." Daisuke responds, with a little sweatdrop trickling down his forehead.
"I'm going to go talk to him at lunch, see if he knows of any good way to capture Dark. You could come and listen if you like." Kaname offers.
"(Should I Dark?)" Daisuke asks the phantom thief.
"I think you should. If Satoshi gives tells him something that he might use, then we'll be prepared for it." Dark tells him. At lunch, Daisuke sees the golden haired and blue haired guys talking.
"Okay, here goes." He walks up to the conversing Kaname and Satoshi.
"Oh, Daisuke, what brings you here?" Satoshi asks his alter ego's enemy's alter ego.
"Uh, Kaname asked me if I wanted to join your little conversation." Daisuke answers his friend.
"Oh, really?" Satoshi turns to Kaname and remembers that he doesn't know that Daisuke is Dark.
Curious of what they're planning, Daisuke asks Kaname "So, uh, what were you guys talking about?"
Kaname then replies, "Oh, just ways to capture Dark. We haven't been able to think of anything that would assure Dark's capture." He informs the redhead. AN: In the anime, his hair seems to look kind of pinkish, or fuchsia.
"Oh, that sucks." Daisuke comments, trying to sound disappointed.
"It's no biggy. Even though Satoshi, by himself, was never able to capture Dark, I'm sure that both of us together will find a way to capture him." Kaname confirms.
"Really? You think both of you together might be able to capture Dark? (This is bad.)" Daisuke asks.
"Well, if Satoshi's up to it. Then starting tonight, we're going to start planning ways to capture the so called Legendary Thief." Kaname says while doing that finger thing.
"I wouldn't mind. Do you mind Daisuke?" Satoshi answers, then asks the true identity of Dark.
Kaname then wonders why he's asking Daisuke. "Huh? Why are you asking Daisuke if he minds?"
"Oh, just because." Satoshi answers, leaning his head on his hand.
"Well, I don't mind at all. I just hope that you guys be careful." Daisuke replies.
"Then it's settled!" Kaname announces while balling up one of his fists.
"Tonight should be a good night for you to show me your abilities in capturing Dark Kaname." Satoshi comments.
"Huh? Why?" he asks.
"Considering that Dark's going to steal again. Right Daisuke?" Satoshi gives him a wink.
He sweatdrops a little. "Uh, yeah. Dark's planning another robbery tonight." Daisuke tells Kaname.
"How do you two know that?" Kaname wonders.
"Well, being the commanding chief in charge of capturing Dark, I'm very well informed if he leaves another letter of warning of what he's going to steal." Satoshi informs him.
"How about you Daisuke?" Kaname asks Daisuke.
"Well, (what do I say? Maybe if I joke around.) Cause I'm the Legendary Thief Dark and I'm the one who sent the letter of warning to the police of my next target." Daisuke almost tells the truth.
Kaname then looks at him stupidly and laughs. "Hey! Good one Daisuke! I think that commercial you did a while ago is getting to you! Just admit that you didn't know and that you're just going along with what Satoshi said." Kaname tells him and pats him on the back.
"(Weh!) Yup! You're right. You got me. Hehe." Daisuke sighs in relief. Satoshi then smirks to see how Daisuke's handling Kaname and not giving him any signs of being the thief.
"So where is Dark going to strike tonight?" Kaname asks Satoshi.
"At the Azumano Fine Arts Museum. He's going to steal a painting. The 'Light of Darkness' painting." AN: Don't ask or bug me about this. I couldn't think of anything else.
"Light of Darkness? Sounds nice and rare. Never heard of it." Kaname tells them.
"It's a painting of the Hikari family. That's probably why you haven't heard of it, considering that you lived in the United States for quite a while." Satoshi explains.
"The Hikari family? Who are they?" Kaname then asks.
"They're the family that Dark steals everything from. They're a rich and powerful family." Satoshi explains. AN: I don't really know anything about the Hikari family. Please give me some info if you know anything that could help.
"So everything that Dark has stolen belongs to one family. Man, they must be rich if afford all that stuff. I wonder what they do about it?" He wonders.
"They try to capture him. That's what." Satoshi answers.
"How? Who? I haven't heard of anyone that has a last name Hikari that's going after Dark." Kaname admits.
"That's because the person whose last name was Hikari has a different last name now." Satoshi tells him.
"Really? What is it now?" Kaname asks curiously.
"Hiwatari." Satoshi answers with no hesitation.
"What? It's you!" Kaname nearly yells in shock.
"Yes, I confess. Why do you think I've dedicated my life to capturing Dark?" Satoshi asks him.
"Oh, I get it now. Okay. Man, that sucks. Having all those rarities belonging to your family be stolen by one person for how long." Kaname sympathizes for Satoshi.
"I really don't mind. He can steal all he wants, as long as I get to capture him." Satoshi tells Kaname, he then looks to the side and notices that the red haired one has left already. "Hmm, it seems our third club party member is gone." Satoshi tells Kaname.
"Huh?" He looks beside him and finally notices that Daisuke left. "Oh, I didn't realize. Maybe he felt left out cause he really had no reason to be in the conversation. And what do you mean by third club party member?" Kaname asks.
"You don't think I haven't heard of the Rainbow Hottie club either have you?" Satoshi asks him.
"Oh yeah! Forgot about that. Oh well, where were we?" Kaname continues. "So, what do you want to do tonight? You want me to meet you at the place where Dark's going to strike next."
"Sure. I'm curious to know what you could do to capture Dark." Satoshi answers.
"Oh you'd be surprised. The first night I saw him, I nearly captured him, but I gave him a chance since we weren't properly aquatinted yet." Kaname answers.
"(Kaname almost captured Dark? But how? If what he says is true, then Daisuke better be careful around Kaname.)" Satoshi worries for his friend.
"Huh? What's with you?" Kaname asks.
"Oh, just a little indigestion." He lies. "I'll be fine. We should be going back to class." They both get up and start walking back.
---------Back to Daisuke
"(I can't believe it. Kaname and Satoshi are going to be working together to capture you Dark.)" Daisuke tells his counterpart.
"This isn't good. Even with Krad around, Kaname's going to make things worse. Wait a minute!" Dark remembers something.
"(What? What is it Dark?)" Daisuke wonders.
"Do you think Kaname could possibly be the one that night I talked to in the tree? The one who had the chance to capture us?" Dark asks Daisuke.
"(Wait, now that I think about, I think that he could be him. Him, but the voice doesn't match.)" Daisuke tells his alter ego. "(Maybe, he has another form, like Satoshi and I!)"
"Nah, I don't think so. He couldn't, it's not possible." Dark explains.
"(So do you think it was Kaname?)" Daisuke asks.
"Maybe, so we must remain careful around him. Even if he's your friend." Dark warns him.
"(So tonight we're stealing the 'Light of Darkness' painting. Do you think we'll see Kaname there?)" Daisuke asks, changing the subject.
"Most likely. We must use extreme caution if we want to pull this off." Dark cautions Daisuke. Daisuke nods and returns to class.
-----That night
At the Azumano Fine Arts Museum, Satoshi and Kaname await Dark's arrival.
"So Satoshi, how quickly do you think Dark will steal the painting before we notice?" Kaname asks, being very well aware that Satoshi knows the answer.
"It's not how quickly he stole it, but how quickly we react." Satoshi then starts running inside. Kaname then chases after him.
"So I guess he already stole it." Kaname comments. Once Satoshi nods to him, he disappears. Satoshi stops in his tracks and wonders where Kaname went.
"What the? Where did he go?" Satoshi looks around.
----------
Dark sneaks around the museum waiting and looking for the perfect place to escape. "(Good, no sign of Satoshi and Kaname. Luckily we came here earlier than your mom put.)" Dark tells Daisuke.
"I'm pretty scared. If Kaname is in fact the person that we met two days ago, we're in trouble." Daisuke informs Dark.
"(Then he could've captured me, but now I'm prepared.)" Dark tells Daisuke as he's escaping. Just as Dark is about to jump out the window and fly, an invisible net appears in front of the window and makes Dark bounce away. "Ow! What the hell? Where did that come from?" Dark asks himself as he rubs his head.
"You like my trap? I set it up before you even got here." Kaname asks.
"Oh no! It's Kaname! Quick Dark, let's get out of here!" Daisuke yells to his counterpart.
"(What do you think I tried doing?)" Dark then flies above Kaname in hopes that he won't be able to reach him. Once Dark's position is directly in front of Kaname's head, he pushes a button, releasing capture net, making Dark fall down. "(How the hell am I supposed to get away from him if he's had traps I've never had to deal with set up around the place?)"
"What's wrong Dark? Can't even get away from a few nets? Well that's just sad." Kaname then dashes up to Dark and in an instant, ties him up.
"He's so fast! How did he do that?" Daisuke wonders in amazement.
"(This is no time to be amazed Daisuke! We're in trouble. How are we going to get out of this one. Not even Satoshi with his little tricks weren't even able to stop me.)" Dark then struggles with the ropes. "(Crap! He's even tied up my wings, so Wiz can't help us.)"
"This is perfect, I've finally captured you. And that Satoshi wasn't even that much of a help. Oh well." As he's about to take Dark away, two sharp objects come out of no where and cut the ropes and the nets away.
"Yes! Let's get out of here Wiz." Dark calls out to his wings and they swiftly fly out of there.
"Who the heck did that?!" Kaname screams, wondering who foiled his plan. From the shadows, Satoshi hides from Kaname, hoping that he doesn't find him there.
"(You owe me one Dark and Daisuke. I just didn't want you to be captured like that.)" Satoshi tells himself.
--------Back to Dark
"(That was close! Too close. I was right. Kaname was that mysterious person. You must make sure that he never finds out that you're my true identity.)" Dark tells Daisuke.
"I'll make sure. But what I want to know is who saved us." Daisuke reminds Dark.
"(I don't know.)" He replies.
"Do you think that it could've been Satoshi?" Daisuke asks, giving that maybe tone.
"(Possibly, but why would he help us? Maybe he'd help you out, but why me?)" Dark asks Daisuke.
"Who knows? But he's the only one who could've done that." Daisuke informs Dark.
"(Oh well, I think we'll find out soon.)" Dark finishes the conversation and flies home to where it's safe.
Once Daisuke gets home, he immediately decides to turn in for the night. Before he drifts to sleep, he talks to Dark for a bit. "(You know Dark, now that we found out that Kaname is the other person chasing after us and very capable of capturing you, I've been having these weird feelings. I don't know, I think it's because of Kaname. He's a great friend and all but his presence when he's trying to capture you makes me as if something's going to happen to one of us. Either to us, to Satoshi and Krad, or to Kaname himself.)" he then finally notices that his alter ego's sleeping and didn't hear a single word Daisuke said.
"(Forget it!)" Daisuke then goes to sleep. Next day, another day awaits Daisuke and his friends. "(I wonder how weird this day will be.)" Daisuke think as he walks to school. From behind him, a scooter nearly runs him over.
Daisuke immediately jumps out of the way before impact. "Hey! You would've looked like road kill if you didn't move," The boy removes his helmet, "Daisuke."
"Kaname! Hey! How are you doing?" Daisuke asks his friend.
"I'm okay, but I'm still bugged a little from yesterday. I nearly caught Dark but someone came and cut him loose. I was so mad and never even got to find out who did it." Kaname explains to Dark's true identity.
"Well, I wouldn't would so I couldn't help." Daisuke tells him.
"It's okay, I wouldn't want you to go through all that trouble." Kaname assures him.
They enter class and meet up with Satoshi. "Hey Satoshi, where did you go yesterday?" Kaname asks the commander.
"Well, I knew had gotten away already, so I just left (and saved him from your pathetic traps. I can't believe Dark nearly got captured by a net and rope.)" Satoshi replies.
"Well, there's always next time. I'll some even better traps awaiting him till then." Kaname announces.
Daisuke then enters the conversation, "You know Kaname, have you ever thought that maybe regular traps are 'not' going to work on Dark?" He tries to discourage the golden haired one.
"You really think no trap would work on him?" Kaname responds.
"I'm not saying any trap, just not those regular traps that many people can stop or escape from. I'm sure that you did a good job in setting up those traps, but face it, this is Dark. 300 years of being a phantom thief, I don't think some human made trap's going to work on him." That last line slipped out accidentally.
"Daisuke you dummy! Are you trying to give him ideas?!" Dark asks the crimson haired boy.
"(No! I'm trying to discourage him.)" Daisuke answers.
"You should really listen to him Kaname. He knows what he's saying, I know from personal experience." Satoshi advises Kaname.
Kaname then think about what Daisuke said. "(Daisuke seems to know a lot about Dark. If what he says is true and that no human made trap is going to work on him, then maybe it's time to kick it up another notch. BAM! I'm such an idiot.)" Kaname tells himself.
"Well, we should get seated now. Class is about to start." Daisuke announces. Kaname snaps out of his little planning and takes his seat.
AN: Hmm, I just realized how little Riku and Risa appear in the story. I'm going to put them in more now.
After about a minute, Risa and Riku come into class and take their seats. Riku passes by Daisuke and Kaname and gives them a warm smile. "Ohayo gozaimasu Daisuke! Ohayo Kaname! How are you two doing?" She nicely asks them.
Daisuke turns a little red and Kaname quickly answers, "We're fine. I finally got into the action of capturing Dark." He informs her.
Riku puts on a disturbed face. "Maybe you should talk to my sister. She's obsessed with Dark." She tells the golden haired boy.
"Really? That's cool. Maybe I'll talk to her at lunch." Kaname plans. Before she takes her seat she reminds the two, "Oh, and did you study for your test today in 'English'?" She asks putting major emphasis on the word English.
"(Oh no!) Oops! I guess I got so caught up in capturing Dark yesterday that I forgot to study for the test I don't even remember." Kaname confesses.
"Well, good luck. You're going to need it." Riku wishes him.
"Definitely." The bell rings and class begins.
"Okay class. As you know you have your English exams today." An echoing moan goes throughout the classroom. "No complaints! If you fail this test then there will be a retake. But the downside is that how good you do on the retake will average into your original grade, so if you feel that you're going to do bad, at least try your best. Okay, now clear your desks!"
The class unwillingly obeys and puts everything away, assuring the teacher that there's no way anyone could cheat without her knowing. The test begins and the class is quiet. About forty minutes later, the final student turns in their test and the teacher makes an announcement.
"Okay class, how do you think you did?" Mrs. Sasaki asks her students.
"Uh...." None of them really answer. The ones who knew that they did well kept their mouths shut to keep anyone else from hating them.
"Well, I think that you're all happy to hear that I'm grading you on your effort. Meaning that I'll only remove points if you didn't attempt to answer the question, or if the answer is obviously way off." Mrs. Sasaki announces.
Many of the students then give that little gesture of victory when they hear that. "Wew! I'm saved. I answered all the question the best I could." Kaname tells Daisuke.
"Then you should be fine. Luckily I studied somewhat so I don't think I did too horrible." He tells him.
After an hour and half of other subjects, the lunch bell rings. Daisuke heads off to talk with Satoshi about last night, while Kaname goes to talk to Risa about Dark. They meet at the courtyard and sit on a bench together. "(Kaname wants to talk to me! Maybe he wants to take me up on my offer and go on a date!)" She thinks becoming delusional again.
"Hey Risa, I wanted to talk to you. Riku told me that you're obsessed with Dark." She nods. "Really? Because I'm pretty interested in him also." AN: Don't take that the wrong way. "Why are you so obsessed with him?" he then asks.
"Oh, because he's so dreamy and handsome! He's my ideal man. I absolutely love him! I think it's because he's so graceful and good-looking, and when he's with you, he's so kind and gentle. You would never think that he's a thief." Risa explains.
"Really?" he lifts an eyebrow. "So if you were with him, what would you do?"
"I'd want to go on numerous dates, anything he wants to do. And if he lets me decide, we could go flying around the city, maybe even stealing things together!" Risa responds.
"(Woah! This girl's nuts! I bet if she said that to a police officer they'd lock her up.) That's nice to know. So you really like him?" he asks. She nods enthusiastically.
"Why are you so interested in him Kaname?" She finally asks back to him.
"Because I'm curious to know how he does it. How he's been stealing things for the past three hundred years and not look any older than seventeen. How no one's been able to catch him, no matter what. That's why I want to do everything I can to finally capture him." Kaname explains to Risa.
"You're trying to capture him too? Like Satoshi." She asks a little confused.
"Yeah." He replies.
"Do you really think you could capture him?" Risa then asks.
"I really think I can." He responds.
"How are you going to do it?" She asks more.
"I don't know yet, but I'll find a way." He tells her.
"Hmm, I think that you're probably going to be wasting your time." Risa tells him strait forwardly.
"What? Why?" He wonders.
"Well, think about it. Not even Satoshi, who's been after him all his life, has ever captured him, and been able to keep him captured. He always finds a way to escape. I'm not saying this because I love him, it's because that's how it is. He wouldn't have been a thief for three hundred years if he could be captured." Risa explains.
"Hmm, maybe. But I still want to find a way. There can be firsts. I also believe that someday he'll make a mistake or do something that'll eventually lead to his downfall." Kaname assures her.
"Well, if that does happen, I don't want it to be while I'm around, maybe a hundred years from now." Risa tells him.
"Hope is probably all you can do, because if he's finally captured, I don't think you could do anything about it." They both then finish the rest of their lunch in silence. Kaname finishes before Risa. "Well, I guess I'll be seeing you in class later." Just as he's about to leave,
"Wait!" he turns around and faces her.
"What is it?"
"If what you say is true and something does happen and Dark is captured, or even worse (I don't want to say it). Can you be there for me? Can you be by my side if that happens? Even if you're the one that caused it to happen, I want you to be there for me. Can you do that? (if he can't, then I always have Daisuke.)" Risa sincerely asks him.
He goes up and puts his hand on her back. "Sure, of course I will." He gives her a light hug and leaves. "(I almost believe Risa that it's nearly impossible to capture Dark, but I know that nothings impossible and capturing Dark is no exception. I will find a way, even if I have to use my other side.)" He pulls out a golden feather, then grasps it tightly. "(Dark, I 'will' be the one who leads you to your downfall!)" Kaname assures himself.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AB-Angel: At last! It's completed! Sorry for the long wait. If you watched the anime and have read the manga, you will see that I'm mixing them both up, only to make things more interesting. The next chapter will have some action, more than this chapter does, but be warned that if you're looking for romance in this fic, you won't find any. That little scene with Risa just came out unexpectedly. I hope you read my message in the beginning and read the first chapter again, because when I went to revise it because I received one bad review, my very first bad review, I actually discovered that my first chapter did indeed suck. So I changed it. I left all the humor but removed all cheesy scenes and deep scenes. It kind of made the story a little stupid. Okay I'm ranting, thanks for all who reviewed, even though it wasn't much, and review this chapter so the third chapter will come out faster! REVIEW!!!!
Here's a sneak peek at Chapter 3- Dark's Downfall
As Dark is once again about to steal his next target, a spell circle appears under him and freezes him in his tracks. "(What the hell?)" Then suddenly, he notices a golden feather flicker in the darkness.
