Hi there! Thanks to my reviewers (well, reviewer - Shimmer of an Angel!)! And I changed all the titles (the word Forgotten) to bold. Sorry to confuse you! Now, on with the story!
Forgotten
Chapter 5
Confess
Dark walked into Yuri's room and helped her up by the hand. "You alright?" he asked her. Yuri nodded, a happy grin on her face. This was quite odd, considering she had just been hit by some sort of magic dagger.
The red clothed man on the floor groaned and started to get up, causing Wiz to jump off. Wiz stepped to his master's side. The man glared angrily at Yuri. "How could survive two attacks?" he shouted at her.
Yuri shrank away. She grabbed Dark's arm tightly. Dark noticed. "What kind of gentleman are you?" he demanded.
The man then glared at Dark, ignoring Dark's question. "And you… you survived the attack, too. You're in this together!"
Dark picked the red dagger up. "Wrong. How does this thing work, anyhow?"
The man stood shakily up. He smirked. "Only I have the power to wield that weapon! It is useless to you."
Shrugging, Dark tried to pass it to Yuri, who shook her head frantically. Dark realised she was scared of it. It was, after all, the object that had almost killed her. Strange girl, he thought. She acts like a 5 year old…
"Kyu!" Wiz cried a warning. Dark looked up from Yuri in time to see the man limping away, trying to escape.
"Wiz, stop him." Wiz obeyed, flying around the man and blocking the way out onto the balcony, and the only escape root. The man cursed.
Then the door of Yuri's room began to open, and Dark heard Emiko's voice. "What's all this noise about…?"
"Emiko! Don't come in!" Dark told her.
"Eh? Why not?"
Stupid woman! Does she want to get in danger? Dark said to himself, feeling irritated.
Hey don't call my mom stupid! Daisuke argued back.
"Emiko… go back to sleep! It's a dream!"
"Really? Ok." She's worse than Yuri, Dark and Daisuke thought together.
Speaking of the girl, Yuri was tugging Dark's sleeve. "Uh… Mr Dark… the attacker…?"
"Oh? Right." Dark walked up to the door. "I don't know why you hate Yuri so much, but you're not killing her that easily."
The man scowled. But then Dark heard a growl. "Grrrrr!"
Dark looked over at Wiz. "What's wrong, Wiz?" Wiz's fur was up on end. He was baring his teeth.
And then he got hit by a slash mark. A lilac slash mark. He was sent flying backwards, hitting the far wall. A woman's laughter filled the air.
The man was still scowling, but now he was furious. "Breez."
The woman named Breez appeared in the balcony's doorway. "Hawk, you silly man. How can you fail so easily?" Breez was a woman with long lilac hair that had the front part pulled back and a little to the side in a small plait (a bit like Risa's). Her eyes were almost white, and icy cold. She was wearing a mauve Chinese dress that was embroidered with golden flowers. It had a slit up both sides that allowed her more movement. She was wearing lilac eye shadow and blood red lipstick, and in her hand was a dagger that glowed purple.
A dagger identical to Hawk's.
"Of course it's not going to work. We can't just blast her away with a weapon that doesn't even work on us!" she continued to tell Hawk. Then she seemed to notice Dark. She smiled and walked up to him. "Why hello. I don't think we were properly introduced. What's your name?" she drawled, her purple painted fingernails stroking his face.
Dark smirked. "You want to know my name? I'm known as the Phantom Thief Dark."
Daisuke, however, wouldn't allow it to go any further. Dark! She blasted Wiz, remember?
Dark snapped out of Breez's spell. He turned to look at his partner, who had fallen on the floor, out cold. But Yuri was patting his head kindly. He turned back to Breez, frowning. "You hurt Wiz."
"Your little dog? He was cute, wasn't he?"
She's biding time for that man to escape! Daisuke yelled.
"Yes, he's cute. Much cuter than you." Dark said spitefully.
The woman looked taken aback. "What? How can…? How can you resist my charms?"
Dark grinned. "To be honest, you weren't very good at it anyway."
Hawk was now on the balcony. As Daisuke had pointed out, Breez had just been stalling for time. "Breez, that young man was useful. For some reason, he could withstand my attacks," Hawk said gruffly "I thought you could get any man on our team."
"So did I," Breez replied. She turned and left onto the balcony. She held up her dagger. "But now we have to go."
Dark ran over to try and stop them, but Breez's dagger had already flashed, and she and Hawk were gone.
Dark shook his head and walked over to Yuri and Wiz. Yuri looked up. "Thank you, Mr Dark, for saving me. You're pretty nice, for a thief." Then, to Dark's surprise, she ran up and hugged him. Tightly.
Dark placed a hand on Yuri's head. He sighed. There was no way out. He couldn't fly away, because Wiz was knocked out. There was no other choice.
"Yuri…" he began. "What would you do if I was Daisuke…?"
"I can't believe you're so stupid!"
Breez was shouting at Hawk. They were in a large hall, where a large table had been set for four. Breez and Hawk were standing in front of the doorway in.
"How could you think that you could kill her with your puny little dagger? They have to be destroyed some other way!"
Hawk growled softly. Then he shouted back, "Well, do you have any idea what that is?"
Breez scowled, indicating she didn't.
"Then shut up!" Hawk told her sharply.
"Breez, Hawk. So sorry I'm late."
Breez tapped her foot impatiently. "Well, it's about time."
A woman with short blonde hair was entering the room. In her hair was a pink flower, and she was wearing a pink, green and white kimono. She fanned herself with a pink fan.
"We're still missing one," Hawk said impatiently.
"I'm sure he'll come," Breez reassured him. "Or else he'll have to deal with me, and you know how he hates that. Tash, will you be Ok with that?"
Tash smiled. "Of course."
Hawk folded his arms. "Well I'm not. I'm going to bed."
"What a baby," Breez said to Tash when Hawk had gone.
"Hmm," said Tash. "When the other girl comes - you know… her… the one I'm after - when she comes, I'll have to take a detour, alright?"
"That's fine with me."
There we are! Another chapter done! Are you having fun? There was a little confessing there, but then Dark had to reveal it sooner or later. And what about those mysterious people? Who is in danger here?
Find out next time on Forgotten!
Oh yeah. What colour eyes does Dark have? I've heard he's got purple in some places, red in others, and golden in yet more. Which one's true? You can't tell in the manga, but I'm sure that you can on TV. In the show I've never seen (sob).
Don't forget to review review review!
