Riles smiled but the smile dropped pretty quickly.
"It's not your fault. It's his….."
"His?" Daisuke said, feeling uncomfortable.
"The Phantom Thief, Dark Mousy,"
Crack…..
"Eh? Daisuke, are you alright? You look pale…."
"AHH! I'm okay…. I'm okay………" Daisuke said, blushing lightly.
"Now your red……"
"Ahh….."
Riles went closer and touched his forehead on Daisuke's forehead.
"hmmm…" Riles hummed.
Meanwhile, Daisuke was all together confused. Usually, this kind of scene happens with Hiwatari. He was blushing furiously with the touch of Rile's skin.
"A…..ano…….I……errr…….."
"Your not having fever. What's wrong?" Riles asked as the furthered.
"Err……. I……" Daisuke stuttered. Thinking of what to say.
"Are you okay?" Riles said, bringing his hand to Daisuke.
Daisuke evade it.
But it resulted on his head banging on something unknown and he drifted of to slumber land after hearing a voice calling out his name…….
X
"Suke……Daisuke…….Daisuke!"
Daisuke's eye's flicked open.
"Kaa-san?" He said, gathering his thoughts.
"Wake up. The plane has landed. We have to go."
"Huh? Plane?"
Daisuke looked around while gathering his thoughts.
"RILES!" he stood up and looked around.
"The boy sitting beside you? He already left…" Kosuke said, emerging beside Emiko.
"He……he did?" Daisuke asked.
"Yup! Now, may we leave?" Emiko said, holding up her handbag.
"Ah? SURE!" Daisuke said, unbuckling his seat belt,
He grabbed his backpack and headed of, following his mother and father and the rest of his family.

Daisuke leapt on the bed and lied down, eyes closed, he thought about things.
"could Riles be…….. Krad……….." he mumbled as his eyes re-open, "Dark….."
Dark sighed.
: I don't know. He may and he may not :
"Or, he could be like Nana,"
: You're still thinking about her huh? It's just like you think about her more than Riku :
"DARK!" Daisuke said, sitting up.
: Okay okay. But it's true….. You haven't thought about Riku lately…… :
Daisuke sighed.
"It's just…… I got used to it…….. In Riku's case, it has passed and I'm… over…. It but in Nana's case, it just…just happened……"
Daisuke sighed.
"Riku-san…….'
Silence……
"DAI-CHAN!"
"UWAH!" Daisuke screamed.
"Eh? Did I scare you?" Emiko asked, entering Daisuke's room.
"K……Kaa-san……" Daisuke stuttered.
"Anyway, I sent an advance notice to the Pasadena Museum. It's tonight at 12am."
"SO SOON!" Daisuke suddenly screamed, "I mean, so soon?" Daisuke blushed.
"We have to make as if Dark is magical and he can appear anywhere," Emiko explained and took out some folded clothing's, "Here!" Emiko handed it to Daisuke, "Your clothes for tonight's catch, we're having dinner outside," Emiko said and left.
"Mom treats it like I'm going on a date…….." Daisuke grumbled.
: on a date? With me! NOWAY! You've got Hiwatari and that Riles boy already::
"DARK!"
: cool down! I was just Jokin……. :
"Hmph…."
X
"So my target for tonight is…… the orb of light……." Dark said.
: looks quite easy when we are already here……. : Daisuke said.
"Hah, they think they are so almighty just leaving one person to guard each room and the rest guard the hallways and the outside. It is a very VERY stupid idea," Dark grumbled, while putting on some guard clothes.
: Haha : Daisuke sweat dropped.
"Well, let's get to work!" Dark said, stretching.
Dark walked out of the room he was in and into the hallways. He walked till he reached the room which contained the orb of light. He tapped the shoulder of the guard on duty at that room.
"Hn?" The guard looked behind.
"Chief asked me to change guarding places with you. He says I'm more capable," Dark said.
"GO ahead. I'm afraid if Dark does something to me so I rather guard places with 25 chance of Dark coming," The guard said and left.
: th…that was easy….. :
"Well, let's get that thing and get out of here," Dark said, walking slowly and opened the safety box which contained a small computer, "huh, this will be easy. Knowing the manager, he would put…" Dark keyed in the Manager's name.
ERROR…..
"EH?"
Dark typed more passwords each returning with a result of errors.
"What's wrong!" Dark yelled but realized his mistake.
"What's the matter?" The guard outside aksed.
"N…nothing," Dark said.
Getting back to the password, Dark realized something. He typed the letters.

Ping…..
: What……What does this mean::
"It means that from now on, we will be having trouble," Dark said.
Dark opened the glass case that was keeping the orb and took the orb.
: Dark what do you mean::
"You'll find out," Dark said and
X
"Kaa-san! Here!" Daisuke said as he handed his mother the stolen item.
"AHH! IT'S SO PRETTY! Was it easy?" Emiko asked, hugging the orb.
: Tell her it was not even an exercise: Dark said.
"Dark says it was not even an exercise for him," Daisuke said.
"Then, we will have more exercise then!" Emiko said and walked away.
Daisuke sweat dropped. He went into his room and lay on the bed and just stared at the ceiling.
"I wonder what I'll be doing tomorrow. Usually, at Brazil, I went Shopping with Nana but now…… I will looks stupid going to clothes shop alone……" Daisuke said.
: you of course can go fishing :
"Fishing? Why fishing?"
: Cause I know how to fish::
"You do? I thought you only know how to be a thief,"
: just follow what I ask you to do and soon you'll get the hang of it :
"O…okay…. But I don't even have a fishing rod,"
: you will have one soon :
"Somehow…. I have a bad feeling about this…."
: nothing bad. For now, just get your beauty sleep. We need a lot of patience when fishing and who knows, if you don't sleep enough, you may get grumpy. :
"Well, good night then," Daisuke said and closed his eyes.
X
: Okay! First to get you your fishing rod::
"Okay, let's find a store then," Daisuke said.
: THAT ONE::
"Isn't that a convenient store?"
: Who knows what is in there::
"As….As you wish….,"
: Okay, go inside and find a pretty lady to ask :
Daisuke entered the store and looked around.
: That blonde one will do good:: Dark said.
"That one huh. But she doesn't look like she's working in this store and she look…..my age?" Daisuke said.
: at least we know she has rounded this store and probably know where to find a fishing rod::
"Alright…."
: now, go to her and say "excuse me" while smiling :
Daisuke did as told.
"Excuse me," Daisuke called out with a sincere smile.
"Yes?" The girl turned, her icy blue eyes looked at Daisuke with a glare.
"I'm not good at directions so do you mind showing me the way to a laundry store? If your not busy that is," Daisuke said.
'DARK! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!'
: Catching fish of course::
'When you say fish… you meant girls didn't you……'
"Laundry store? Yah, I guess I could. I'm not that busy anyway," the girl said.
"Erm…. On second thought that's okay, I'll find it by myself. And I well…. I'm searching a specific one. Thanks," Daisuke said, running off.
"Weird…." The girl could only say…….
Daisuke ran with his might, blushing tomato red.
'Dark it's all your fault! It's all your fault! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!'
: okay, okay, chill! When you said you missed Nana, I thought you just need another girl :
'SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!'
Crash!
"UWAHH!" Daisuke yelled as he falled down.
Luckily for him, the person he crashed into managed to stay up and grabbed Daisuke before Daisuke could even touch the floor.
"D…Daisuke?"
"Hn?" Daisuke said as he opened his eyes, looking at his savior.
"R..RILES!" Daisuke screamed.
His scream of course, like reality, picked up some audiences.
"EH! AH! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" Daisuke said.
"What are you doing here?" Riles asked.
"I'm on vacation remember!" Daisuke said.
"Oh yeah, you did say that on the plane,"
"But It's weird how we met again," Daisuke said.
"Maybe, it's our fate and destiny," Riles said,showing a satisfied smile.
"geh…." Daisuke sweat dropped.
: ahem :
"Did you see Dark on TV this morning?" Riles aksed, breaking the silence.
"Dark? Yah……. He's cool isn't he?" Daisuke said.
: you at last admitted you think I'm cool :
"He's not cool…. He's an idiotic thief," Riles said.
This made Daisuke surprised, including Dark who went screaming.
"As far as I'm concerned, as long as Dark's here, the world won't be in peace," Riles said.
"Why do you care about him anyway?"
"Because, I have a connection with him," Riles said.
: he could be Krad :
'probably. Let's find out more first.'
"Relation like how?" Daisuke asked sweetly.
"It's classified. Sorry,"
"That's okay," Daisuke said and turned to his watch, "I better get going. See you next time!" Daisuke said and ran off.
"Ah!" Riles answered then suddenly froze.
Riles looked at the direction Daisuke went and said one thing……….
"Dark……..?"
X
Daisuke slammed the door of his room close, panting hard after running from his encounter with Riles. He breathed in and sighed.
"Remind me to never follow your silly ideas," Daisuke said as he laid on the bed, brushing his hair back only to make the hair bounce back into place.
: Aww…… Daisuke is shy being with Riles::
"Shut up!" Daisuke said and closed his eyes.
: We're not going out anymore::
"Who wants to if it's with you," Daisuke answered.
: Risa would:
"Pfft!" Daisuke said, sitting up with a jerk, "Risa doesn't know the real you! If she did, I'm sure she would forget about you totally after that. Luckily, Riku knew how you…..really…… are……….,"
Daisuke took a pillow and hugged it tight, trying to hide his wet eyes. He blinked back his tears but alas, one of them escaped. One by one, tears trailed down. The thought of Riku reminded him of how much he cared for her, how much he longed to stare back into her beautiful almond like eyes, how much he wanted to hold her soft hand again and snuggle with her at the fountain while looking at the stars. Dark just lay quiet. He knew how Daisuke felt and knew he should not interrupt.
"Kaa-san! I'm going," Daisuke called out.
"Becareful," Emiko said in reply.
"I will!" Daisuke said and closed the door.
Daisuke decided that today, he will be go for a little shopping and mail it to his friends, secretly. He wasn't good at shopping and his taste was… unexpected but, oh well. He ran through the list of people he is expected to buy presents for in his head. Riku, Risa, Hiwatari and Saehara were on the list. 'For the girls' he thought, 'Probably some jewelry and the boys, pens and key chains. No, why not all pens and key chains. I'm only being fair. But, knowing Risa, she would want jewelry. This is hard….' Daisuke thought. While he was crossing and alley, he heard some screams that spoilt his thoughts.
"What the…" Daisuke said as he looked into the alley. He walked in to investigate.
The voice belonged to a girl who looked like a vagabond.
"Don't touch me!" She yelled at some possibly gangsters.
"Aww, come on. We just wanna play a little. You beggars need money right? We can supply you with that if you do what we say," the gangsters said.
"I would rather beg than get money like this," The girl said.
Daisuke peeped. He took note that the girl was about eleven to twelve years old. That was what her size looked like. But her personality was of a much older person. She was thin and was only wearing half-torn t-shirt, a jacket and jeans that was torn till only three quarters of it was left. Her red hair had only one word to describe it, messy. She had tied her hair with a string and it looked as if she tied it loose because hair was sprouting everywhere and looked like she hasn't even combed it after some rough sleeping. And worst, she was covered with dirt.
"We know you would do anything for money. Now, stop fidgeting," The gangster said and stepped closer to her, bringing his hands to her chin.
"Get away you creep!" The girl said and lifted her leg to give a nice kick on the gangster's weak spot, his crotch.
The gangster groaned and fell to the ground. His friend gave a scream.
"You bih!" he said.
"You want it to? Here," the girl said and kicked the other mans place.
Seeing her chance of escaping, the girl ran, leaving the gangsters behind. She turned and met with Daisuke.
"WAH!" she exclaimed as she stopped herself, tumbling down.
Daisuke stepped back a little. The girl looked up. Daisuke heard a moan escaping her mouth.
"You got me. Do what you want," she said.
"You're not going to run?" Daisuke asked.
"Not with a sprained ankle. So, what do you want?" the girl said.
"Nothing?" Daisuke said.
"Your not in the gang of gangsters?" she looked up, signs of relief showing on her face.
"I don't think so," Daisuke said.
"So what are you doing! Help me up here! I have a sprained ankle!" the girl shouted.
"Err…. O… okay," Daisuke said.
Daisuke bent down and waited for the girl to put her hand around his neck. When she did, Daisuke stood up and grabbed her legs.
"you're light," He said aloud.
"That's what you get when you don't eat much," the girl said, "My name is Jemina, what's yours?"
"Daisuke, Niwa Daisuke."
"You Korean?"
"Pardon?"
"Are you a Korean?"
"No. I'm Japanese."
"Owh. Where are you bringing me?"
"To my place. My mum and maid will help you. They know a lot about first aids."
"Okay."
"You can take this room," Emiko said, opening the door to a room.
"Gee, thanks," Jemina said.
"If you have a problem, just call," Towa said.
"Thanks again," Jemina said.
"Remember, rest is what you need." Emiko said.
"Yah. Thank you,"
"Bye!" Emiko and Towa said.
Jemina closed the door and bounced on the bed. It was a small room. Just enough for a single bed, a closet and a dressing table with one drawer. Jemina sighed. After she reached here with Daisuke, his mother and the maid called Towa took her for a nice warm bath. She noticed how dirty she was when she realized the water turned a very dirty brown when she dipped inside it. The two women, had to wash her hair thrice just to get it back to its original state. After drying her off, Emiko blown her hair dry and trimmed it a little after having a hard time combing it. They bandaged her sprained ankle and clipped her hair. Now, Jemina was lying on the bed tiredly, wearing a large t-shirt and shorts that went down her knee. She heard a knock on the door.
"Who's there?" she called out.
"Daisuke,"
"Daisuke who?"
"err… Niwa Daisuke,"
"Come in," Jemina said.
Daisuke entered the room and sat on the bed since that was the only place he could out his butt on.
"How do you feel?" Daisuke asked.
"Refreshed. My head feels a little dizzy though after your mum scrubbed it," Jemina complained.
"Well, with you all cleaned up, you look very pretty," Daisuke said, smiling cheerfully.
"Seriously. Don't try to flatter me,"
"It's true," Daisuke said, giving his charming smile.
Jemina blushed. She grabbed the blanket and pulled it over her head.
"I… I'm tired now. Can you leave me alone so I can have some rest? Please?" Jemina stuttered.
"Sure. Do you want any water or food?" Daisuke asked.
"No. I don't think so," Jemina asked.
"Okay, rest well." Daisuke said and left the room.
Jemina revealed her head after she was sure Daisuke had left. The room was Dark and cold. The curtains were closed so that no light entered. She sighed and fell down on the bed. She started on her journey to slumber land.
"How about this one?" Daisuke asked, holding up a pink t-shirt.
"You say one is girlish and the other, tomboyish. This won't work for both," Jemina commented.
Jemina's foot haven't healed completely yet but she was able to walk. To repay the Niwa's, Jemina helped in small things like making the table before and after eating and small things like that. Now, she is helping Daisuke, which was hard work. Jemina had convinced Daisuke that buying a T-shirt was the best thing. And Daisuke, knowing him, he was convinced.
"Buying clothes for girls is hard work," Daisuke sighed.
"Hey, don't you know that you can make girls mad just by saying that?" Jemina said, turning away from a colourful polka-dotted shirt.
"But … we found Hiwatari's and Saehara's shirt so fast but even after an hour, we haven't found any for the Harada twins…." Daisuke cried.
"Girls have a complicated taste unlike simple boys."
"Simple is good. You don't have to strain your eyes to look at it," Daisuke commented.
"Are you trying to be an enemy of women?" Jemina glared.
"Eh? Of course not!" Daisuke said.
'Dark! See what you have done!' Daisuke thought.
:I was HELPING. It was a good answer. The best:
'Yah, right!'
NYAN
"Nyan?" Jemina and Daisuke said in unison and turned.
A cat stood in between them. Purring.
"What a cute cat!" Jemina said, picking the cat up and brushing the shining black fur.
The cat, Daisuke thought, was not cute but beautiful. It was very clean. It had mostly black fur. The paws and its belly was silverish white and at the forehead was the same silvery white coloured, 'M', meaning the cat was a tabby. The jade coloured eyes stared at Daisuke, as if Daisuke was its prey. The jingle of the bell on its collar was the only sound Daisuke could hear. It was as if he is forced to remember something he had forgotten or, forcing him to forget something he needed to remember.
"Daisuke? Yoo-hoo. Earth to Daisuke!" Jemina called out.
"Huh?" Daisuke snapped out of his trance.
"Are you okay? You look pale," Jemina said.
"I'm okay. Why don't we go shopping tomorrow?" Daisuke said.
"Okay," Jemina said, releasing the cat.
The cat jumped onto the floor and looked back. It stared at Daisuke, as if marking his target.
"Le….let's go Nana. The cat is giving me Goosebumps," Daisuke said.
He grabbed hold Jemina's hand and started to jog back to the hotel.
"Hey… Wait... Daisuke! Who the heck is…" Jemina said, unable to finish the sentence.
Daisuke dragged Jemina back to the hotel.
RING
"You did well. We found him," A girl said.
NYAN
The cat purred and turned into another girl.
"How was my acting?" the cat asked.
"Perfect. Now, we just need time. What makes me mad is the girl that is around him," the girl said.
"Jealous aren't you?" the previously a cat said, clipping her hair.
"Shut up," the girl said, brushing her long hair behind.
The girl stood, brushing dust from her trousers.
"Lets get to the hotel. It's getting dark," The girl said.
"Yes, master."
Back at the hotel, Daisuke ran into his room and locked the door. He went into the bathroom and opened the tap to wash his face. He looked into the mirror.
"What's wrong with me?" Daisuke asked himself.
:You must be having mental problems:
"I wasn't expecting an answer," Daisuke complained and got a towel.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Just a minute!" Daisuke called back.
Daisuke looked at himself in the mirror again. He breathed in slowly and breathed out. He went to open the door. At the door was Jemina. When Daisuke opened the door, he got a welcoming glare.
"What happened back there?" Jemina asked, crossing her arms.
"huh?"
"You were acting strangely and you were calling me Nana. Who the heck is she?"
"Nana?" Daisuke scratched his head.
"Yes, Nana," Jemina repeated, "Who is she?"
"She… Is….. I……. I have no idea…?" Daisuke said, "Who's Nana?"
TOBECONTINUED
This chapter is crappy…….
It wasn't even planned………… THAT'S WHY! Nobody I talked to was from
California but… Haish…I should make a review of my own stupid story!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Anyway, thanks for you that reviewed my fanfic. Especially the usual ones. Ect.
Fylleth (my best friend) and Spirit-06
I… don't know what to say about this chapter…….. It's crappy! That what I can
say! I always hate it when in Fanfics, this mysterious person comes out and
we only know the shadows of them and nothing else. I don't mind in Manga's and
all but in Fanfics, it always bugs me and it bugs me even more since I'm making
something that bugs me.
sigh
Anyway, what chapter is this? Chapter 5. So, this Jemina girl pops out. I got the name from a Finnish person. In Finland, it's supposed to be pronounced as 'Yemina'. Stupid eh? But not to worry, this is the United States of America so you're supposed to call her 'Jemina'. A little bad language since it is…. America…… And the ending! That's something to talk about? Why the heck is Daisuke having a sudden burst of amnesia after meeting with a stupid dumb cat! (Sorry Fylleth) I mean, it's just a cat! It's different if it's an elephant or Whale. Even I would faint and probably forget something but a CAT… For heaven's sake! What am I thinking! Me and my brain! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
SLAP!
Okay. So even if my story is crappy or so, review it and tell me it's crappy. If you think it's absolutely brilliant (haha…) then review it to let me know. At the same time, I'll be working on my next masterpiece, chapter 6. I can't wait to move on to the next country. I at least had my own experience there (More then the snobbish Fylleth that is) and I would really like to write about it and probably some comebacks of characters from the past chapter, which could be anyone. Saehara, Risa, Hiwatari, Riku, Riles, Nana, Morphine, ANYONE! You name it! Even myself! Well… I said comeback… not appearances. I've had enough of making characters. I made Jemina up just because I pity poor Daisuke and Dark can't live without any girls.
P.S. I'm doing chap 6 and…. I'm stucked…..
