Note: Er…well not much to say except that I finally updated. Sorry if you had to wait all weekend or something. I really didn't have much time. I have Cross Country after school on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, I have lots of homework, Chinese school on Sundays, and I'm joining the Art Club and Pentathlon at out school. Sorry if I don't update as much as I'd like to. I would update everyday if I could…so, like sorry.
Mission? Wtf?
The minute Daisuke was out of his grandfather's study, he groaned and swore loudly. He hated not understanding. It just didn't make sense. Why the hell was he to wait in his bedroom to be called? And to be called for what? Suddenly, It returned to him…
(begin flashback)
"Daisuke? Guess what!"
"What is it now Takeshi?"
"Phantom Thief Dark is going to be at the museum tonight…"
(end flashback)
Daisuke gave a howl of agony. Why hadn't he listened to Takeshi? Phantom Thief Dark! Wasn't that the fucking parasite that had invaded his consciousness! How was Dark supposed to be at the museum…when he was inside of Daisuke? Unless…it couldn't be. That was completely insane!
Daisuke pushed the thought out of his head and sat down on the canopy bed in his room. He was completely in the dark about things. He decided that he would just wait, like Grandpa had said. He would wait…until what time!
Two hours later…Daisuke's stomach grumbled. He was so hungry. He had been pacing in his room for a long time now, and he still hadn't been called for. He was sure he had missed dinner.
/Shake it off already. It's just one missed dinner! What, never missed dinner before, you spoiled brat/
Daisuke flopped onto his bed, ignoring the bothersome voice. Why did everything have to end up like this? Always him stuck in his room waiting. God, his room could just be the waiting place for all he cared! He just wanted to get out of the friggin…
Bang! Bang! Bang! Someone was knocking on his door and saying: "Young Master Niwa, the king and queen would like to see you in the dining room."
Daisuke leapt up. Finally! Why had it taken so long? Daisuke hated to wait, his mother knew that! Why did they always make him wait anyways?
/I knew it. You are a spoiled brat./
"I am not!" Daisuke said hotly. He hated the idiot voice in his head. He just wanted it to go away and to have his consciousness to himself again. "Shut up," he said loudly, then stalked out of his bedroom.
Meanwhile downstairs…
Queen Emiko sighed happily. This was such a joy! Her son! He had finally come of age and was ready to take on the task of a tamer! She could barely sit in her seat for joy. Being a woman, she hadn't ever experienced what it felt like to be a tamer. Emiko had always felt guilty, for her mother had died giving birth to her, and she couldn't even be a boy to make her father proud.
That was why she nearly died of joy when she had her little Daisuke! He was the perfect little prince, and what a joy it would be to make many costumes for him when it came time for him to take on his missions and spy for the Niwa Kingdom!
Back to Daisuke and Dark…Daisuke scowled unhappily as he descended the Grand Staircase. He was an absolute mess! He was still wearing his uniform, and he had a huge brown spot on his pants from all the much that had been in the bucket during cleaning duty.
He turned a corner and opened the door to the Dining Room to find his mother and grandfather happily sipping soup together at different ends of the table. Great, thought Daisuke, now where do I sit? Which side do I sit on and where! To his horror, Dark answered his question.
/Just close your eyes and walk straight ahead. The chair you bump into will be the chair you sit in. Pretty simple, eh/
Daisuke frowned. He supposed it wasn't a crime to follow the parasite's advice just this once. Besides, he really didn't know what else to do.
Hesitantly, Daisuke closed his eyes and walked forward. He could feel his mother's perplexed stares. She obviously thought he had gone mad. Daisuke flushed and kept walking.
Bam! Daisuke gave a howl of pain. He had walked to rapidly and now he was suffering the consequences. He would probably have a huge bruise across his chest from the high-backed chair he had walked into the next morning. His cheeks flushed a cherry red as his grandfather raised his head to look at him. Daisuke hastily pulled the chair out and collapsed into it.
"Daisuke, you need to be more careful," his grandfather chided, with a small chuckle. "I didn't train you to walk into chairs you know."
Daisuke's face turned even redder (is that even possible?). "Yes, grandfather," he replied shamefacedly. Grandpa nodded and smiled, handing Daisuke a small card and envelope. Daisuke looked at his grandfather perplexedly. What was this?
He opened the envelope and read the following:
Dear Daisuke,
I am giving you this letter because it is much easier to explain this way. I would probably fumble for the correct words had I been explaining this to you in person. You have now come of age when you can hold the responsibility of becoming a tamer. That is, you are ready to become the legend of the Niwa Family. Phantom Thief Dark has run down the male line of Niwas for many centuries. Unless you learn to overcome your pain and tell you true love about him, you shall never rid yourself of him. Meanwhile, you shall be assigned several missions. Please read the card I handed you now.
Sincerely,
King Niwa
Daisuke looked at the card in his hand. It gave him the following message:
Phantom Thief Dark will appear at the museum at 9:00 pm. He had come for the Lunar Mask.
Be prepared.
Daisuke had never been more confused in his entire life. What the hell did this card and the letter mean? It didn't enlighten him the least bit! Actually, it confused him even more. What did it all mean? Dark, missions, museum? How was all this related?
Hi! Aki chan here! Thank you so much for all the reviews! I got a lot! This is the updated story. If there are any typos, don't look at me. Shiku's fault. She wouldn't read this. She claims that she's been to…er…busy. Yeah right. Thanks again and make sure you review this chappy!
