Hey, I'm back! Bet you all wanna know what happens! But first I've gotta thank:

KDreams: I'm glad you think the story's cute. It's hard to picture her with turquoise hair, but keep trying!

Some Person: Yep, you guessed right! You win: a signed autograph by me! Nah, I'm kidding. But thanks for guessing! And I like blue, too.

Demonic archangel: Nice to meet you too. I've never seen the anime (sighs) it's all England's TV's fault!

Shimmer of an Angel: Why'd you take your story off? It was really good! It's so kind of you to offer that… offer. I should've emailed you about it, has it come yet? I didn't know cliffhangers had the power to kill people… (stores info for later use) you gotta survive!

Cleopatra2: I often wonder what will happen next, too… no wait, I'm the author! I should know! (sweatdrop) uh… you didn't hear me say that, Ok?

Here's Chapter 4!


Forgotten

Chapter 4

School

Yuri trembled. The man wanted to kill her. And that dagger, the one he'd tried to kill her with… she hated it so much. She wanted to close her eyes and stop watching, but something was causing her to continue.

Her vision double was walking backwards from the man. "I don't know how you survived my attack, but you won't this time," the man said. In a flash, he had slashed his sword at her double and made her fly backwards. He sneered. But then a black something hurtled at him, causing him to fall to the floor. The dagger skidded to her double's feet.

"Sorry I'm late," said a voice. "But the hero should always make a grand entrance."


Yuri snapped back into reality at that point. Someone was shaking her. She shook her head. Had that been a glimpse of her past?

"Yuri, honey. Wake up. We're home," she heard Emiko say from the driver's seat.

"Oh, right!" said Yuri quickly. She had been asleep. She opened the door and walked into the house, disappointment creeping on her. She was no closer to finding out who she was.


The following day, Yuri went to school. She walked with Daisuke and Riku, who thankfully didn't ask her anything about her past. She was wearing the school uniform - she didn't really like the school uniform much, but didn't complain. Emiko had tied her hair up in a ponytail as well.

At the school, she was introduced to the class.

"This is Yuri. She will be joining our class," said the teacher. "Please be kind to her, because she has a special condition." Yuri blushed – everyone was looking at her. "Yuri, please sit by the front, next to Riku."

Yuri walked over. I wonder why Riku's sitting by herself, she thought. Is she lonely?

"Hi," smiled Riku, holding out her hand to shake. Yuri said hi back, and took her hand. Happiness flooded her mind, making her grin.

First was Japanese. Yuri struggled with the writing, especially with spelling, but with Riku's help she managed to write a few lines. She went through Geography with the same problems.

In ICT, she had trouble with the computer. She couldn't figure out what to do. The only part she found easy was using the mouse, but everything else was a nightmare.

Then they had Art. Much to everyone's surprise, Yuri was amazing. She could paint like she had been doing it for years. Daisuke stared. "How can you be so good?" he asked her.

Yuri shrugged. "Painting is fun."

Unknowingly to Yuri, someone had been watching her since she'd walked into the classroom. Someone named Satoshi Hiwatari.


It was finally the end of school. Daisuke walked out happily with Yuri and Riku, until Riku had to change direction to get to her house. He and Yuri waved goodbye.

Then Dark began talking.

You got work? He asked lazily.

Daisuke was suddenly not so happy anymore. Damn. And I had forgotten all about it, too.

Dark laughed. I guess that means yes!

It might do, Daisuke replied.

Dark wanted all the details. So what are you stealing?

The Reflection of White Lilies. Some painting of lilies in a pond.

Yuri means lily, you know.

Daisuke coughed, and Yuri looked at him. "What's wrong, Daisuke?" she said anxiously.

"Huh? Nothing!" replied Daisuke hastily.

"Really? Ok."

Daisuke stared. How could she just believe him like that? If she wasn't careful, that trust could put her into serious danger.


Dark snatched the painting from the wall. He needed to be quick – if the man with the ponytail showed up again, he would be in serious trouble.

"Ah, Dark."

Dark turned around. He'd recognised the voice, and it didn't belong to a man with brown hair. "Ah, Police Officer Hiwatari. How nice to see you."

"Likewise I'm sure." Satoshi was on his toes, now that Krad had awakened.

"I'll be going," said Dark quickly, walking carefully away from the officer and to the back door at the same time. "Don't want to cause you any trouble."

Satoshi glared at him. "You already do."

Dark was in front of the door now. He backed slowly. At the door, he smiled. "Sayonara, Police Officer. Have a nice evening." Then he was out.

Satoshi glared at the open door. He hadn't done a thing to stop him – Dark had just gotten away with it. But he had been there when the pony-tailed man had come. And he hadn't liked it one bit.


Emiko had warned Yuri that Daisuke would be late again. But she still found herself on his balcony, looking into the night. Her room didn't have a balcony, so she was forced onto Daisuke's.

She looked a little to the left to see Dark standing on a building. I wonder why he's so close, she thought. Shouldn't he be out stealing tonight? He's not watching me, is he?

The figure suddenly disappeared, startling her. Where had he gone? She took a few steps back, fearful that he would land behind her.

Something did land – but it wasn't behind her and it certainly wasn't Dark. Yuri stared in horror at the man who had tried to kill her when she had first woken, and who had entered her dream earlier that day. The man who's brown fringe half hid his face, and who tied his long hair back in a high ponytail.

The man with the dagger that was surrounded by red energy.

He smirked. "Tonight, you die."


Dark was flying home, the Reflection of White Lilies safe under his arm. I wonder why the man didn't show up tonight, he thought.

I guess he was just busy, answered Daisuke.

What could a mad man with a red dagger do to be busy? Murder people?

Daisuke didn't know how to reply.

When he spotted Daisuke's house, Dark noticed that something was wrong. Oh, aren't you clever, Daisuke said sarcastically.

Shut up.

As he got nearer, he saw the pony-tailed man standing in front of Yuri. And his red dagger. What on earth is he doing? Daisuke thought.

Attacking, stupid.

I can see that! Daisuke defended himself. And anyway, youhave tosave her!

Of course I have. Did you think I wouldn't?


Yuri was shaking. She backed away, knowing that he'd attack. It was just like the vision she'd had, which meant it had been of her future, and not her past. Normally, she would've been sad, but at that moment she was scared stiff.

"I don't know how you survived my attack, but you won't this time," said the man in his rough voice. Even his words were the same as in the vision. And he was as fast – the dagger flashed across her view, and the slash mark flew into her. She was flung backwards and fell onto the ground on her stomach.

The man laughed cruelly, and Yuri managed to look up in time to see him do so. But she knew that she was far from gone, if in a lot of pain.

Then, as Yuri knew it would, a black something tackled the man from behind. The man slammed to the floor, and on top of him stood a black animal a bit like a dog, with huge wings. Behind it stood a young man with violet hair and black clothes. She recognised him not only from the TV, but also from her dream.

"Sorry I'm late," said the Phantom Thief Dark. "But the hero should always make a grand entrance."


That was a pretty long chapter. Hey, did you notice I kind of left it on a cliffhanger on the same spot as before? That was intentional.

Yuri: No it wasn't.

KK: No, it wasn't… (sweatdrop) … yes it was!

Yuri: Uh huh.

KK: … you sound like Dark.

Yuri: I do?

Dark: That's a good thing.

Yuri: Ok!

KK: What…? I thought you were my friend!

Yuri: I am still your friend.

KK: Oh.

Dark: (sighs) Stupid.

KK: I'm not stupid! Stop calling me that!

Dark: Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid…

KK: STOP! (desperate) Right, people! (points at reader) Please RR! I'll see you next chappie!
