Chapter 1: The Long Vacation

It has been about one year since Kazuko left that day in school. All the students who were in her class moved up to their last year in middle school. Satoshi went back to his regular self where he would walk around the school by himself. The alarm on Satoshi desk went off and Satoshi reached to turn it off. He sat in a daze for about half and hour and he went to school after he changed. As usual, he sat in his regular seat in the classroom waiting for everyone to come. When Daisuke came in, he greeted him and the bell rang after a while.

"Okay class, aren't you all excited about today?" the teacher asked.

Everyone said yes. They all knew that it was the last day of school. It was also their last day in middle school. For this special occasion, the whole school had a festival. There were these different booths with games and items. Daisuke was walking around with Riku and Satoshi was sitting in a corner by himself. When the festival ended, they started their vacation and they were now going to high school.

Daisuke walked up to Satoshi while he was walking home.

"Hi, Satoshi," Daisuke said.

"Hey, you had a fun time, didn't you?"

"Yeah, I did. What about you?"

"I guess I did. When will you ever tell Riku about your secret?"

"I don't know yet. It's going to be hard to tell her that since she really hates him."

"I see."

"Well then, see you later, Satoshi," Daisuke said while he was walking the other way. Satoshi looked back and waved to Daisuke.

"Satoshi seems more friendly now. Maybe it was because of Kazuko. We haven't seen her since that night about a year ago. I wonder what she's doing now?"

When Satoshi got to his apartment, he opened the door and went on the computer. After a couple of hours, he went to his bed and lied down on it. He looked at the picture of him and Kazuko on the field trip about one year ago.

"Kazuko…" Satoshi thought.

His phone rang and he answered it. His father was telling him that Dark was going to steal the Painting of Illusions at the Garrent Museum and 9'o'clock. When he got there, the police guards were all over the museum and he made his way to the surveillance room.

"Oh, you're here commander, why did you show up so late?" Inspector Saehara asked.

"It doesn't matter. Did Dark come yet?"

"No, it's only 8:55. Hay, what happened to that Kazuko girl?"

"You mean you forgot that you were trying to arrest her about a year ago?"

"She still out there, isn't she? She actually helped us since we were closer to catching Dark when she was here."

"Why would I tell you if I knew you would try to arrest her again?"

Saehara glared at him, "touché."

"I-inspector, it's Dark, he's come!" the guard looking at the monitor said.

"What! Where is he?""

"He's near the painting, but the guards don't notice him!"

"Didn't we place 5 guards in each room?"

"Yes, but…"

"You can't tell?" Satoshi said walking up to the monitor, "Dark didn't use the hallways to get into the museum. He came from either the roof or from underground."

" There was an underground pathway into the museum?"

"…Sigh…clearly you didn't know that schematics to this building."

Inspector Saehara was getting mad that he wanted to hit Satoshi, but he restrained. Satoshi smirked when no one was looking at him.

"Inspector, he's getting away."

"Let him leave," Satoshi said.

Once Dark left, Saehara said, "Well today was very unproductive."

"That's your opinion."

Satoshi walked out of the room.

Risa was watching the news when Dark was stealing the painting.

"Dark had gotten past the guards once again. How many more paintings and other artworks will he steal until he stops? Nobody knows the answer to that question. Speaking about thieves, the young thief named Kazuko Barero from one year ago was found in an apartment in this town. Kazuko Barero was claimed on stealing several artworks from a year ago that Dark was meant to steal. They were seen several times around the museums running out together. Was there some connection between these two phantom thieves? The police have informed us that Barero was trying to look for something in the apartment she broke into. She got away before the police caught her. They are still trying to look for her," said the reporter. While she was talking, the screen showed the apartment complex where Kazuko once lived.

Riku was watching while the reporter was talking about Kazuko.

"Hey Riku, wasn't Kazuko your friend?" Risa asked.

"…Yeah, she was."

"Aww…I wish I was like her. She always met Dark when she was out stealing."

"…Sigh…you're still into Dark? Risa, how long will you daydream until you finally realize that you will NEVER go out with him?"

"You're so mean Riku!" Risa said storming out of the room.

"What's her problem?" Riku thought, "I wonder what happened to Kazuko after she ran from the school."

It was their first day of vacation that morning. Daisuke and Riku spent the day together walking around the town and going up to the fountain.

"Hey, did you hear? Kazuko was on the news last night."

"Yeah…I've seen it."

"Do you know what she's doing now?"

"No…I think Satoshi knows more than I do."

"It was obvious from the beginning that she liked Satoshi."

"I didn't think so. I didn't know about that."

"Daisuke, you never know when somebody's in love," she said playfully.

Riku looked back to the town, "I really miss Kazuko. I wonder where she is right now."

"…Me too."

Daisuke looked at his watch and saw that it was half and hour until he needed to go home. He walked Riku back to her house and he went back to his house.

"Yoo-hoo…Dai-sweetie," Emiko said when Daisuke walked in.

"Yes, mom?" he said while walking into the kitchen.

"Do you know where to go tonight?"

"Yes, I do…sigh…aww Mom, why do I still have to work during vacation?"

"Thieves don't take breaks, besides, Dark really likes the publicity doesn't he?"

"Boy, your mom knows me very well," Dark said.

"Daisuke, you have ten minutes to show up. Come now, you don't want to rush now do you?"

"Yes, mom."

Daisuke transformed into Dark and flew to the museum he was supposed to go to. After he left the museum with the artwork, Wiz transformed into his wings and flew away.

"Hey, I was just wondering. You guys have been talking about Kazuko lately. Have you seen her in a while?"

"No I haven't. I don't know where she's staying. I think she's nearby though."

"What makes you say that?"

"I don't know. I just have a feeling that she is."

For the next few months, they spent their day like any other day. Krad hasn't shown up in a while since Satoshi has held him back, warning letters came from Dark and Satoshi was still trying to catch him. Daisuke and Riku would hang out together and Riku and Risa would go shopping too. Daisuke was hanging out with Takeshi and Masahiro also. All this time, Daisuke never told Riku that he was Dark. Daisuke was acting strange sometimes, but Riku never questioned it. Satoshi would walk around the town sometimes, but he was mostly at his apartment studying. During his free time, Daisuke would paint in his room or around the town making landscape pictures.

Before they knew it, they had to go back to school. When they found out what class they were in, it looked like Daisuke, Satoshi, Takeshi, Masahiro, Riku, and Risa, all had the same class like last year.

The night before the first day of school, Dark had to steal another artwork. During that night, when Dark went over the room where the artwork was held, it was already gone. The people in the control room didn't know about it. Satoshi was near the room and he wasn't aware either. Dark was looking around to see where the artwork could've gone, but he didn't find out where it could be.

"That's weird," Dark said flying away from the museum, "The artwork was stolen before we even got there."

"The only person who I know would to that is Kazuko, but she hasn't shown her fact here in about a year already," Daisuke replied.

"Well, it's no use trying to find it now. Let's go back home. You have school tomorrow."

"Hey thank you for being concerned about me."

"Hey don't rub it in!" Dark said agitated.

They got to Daisuke's house and Dark transformed back into Daisuke.

"I'm home," Daisuke said as he opened the door.

"Welcome home, Dai!" Emiko yelled embracing him.

"Mom, there's something I need to tell you…"

"Daisuke, where is the artwork?" Daiki asked.

"That's what I wanted to talk about. When I cane to the display case, it was already gone. It was like somebody stole it before me."

"Really? Who could've done this?"

"Well, Dark and I were thinking that it could be Kazuko but she hasn't been seen for a long time."

"You said that she hasn't been seen, so there is a possibility that it could be her."

"How?"

"Just because you say that you haven't seen her, doesn't mean that she's not here. She couldn't been staying inside all day or hiding herself so nobody could see her. Do you see what I mean?"

"Yes, grandpa."

"I see. Well Dai, you have school tomorrow, so why don't you go to sleep now?"

"Okay, Mom. Good-night."

Daisuke walking upstairs to his room, changed into his pajamas, and went to sleep. The next day, Daisuke changed into his high school uniform and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Good morning Daisuke! It's your first day of high school, are you excited?" Emiko said a little excited herself.

"Yes, Mom. I'm a little excited because all of my friends and I are all in the same class again," he said while he was at the table.

Kosuke went downstairs still in his pajamas and he said "bye" to Daisuke when he was leaving to go to school. Once Daisuke got to the front of the school, h saw Riku waiting for him at the front.

"Hey, Daisuke!" Riku yelled waving at him. Daisuke saw Riku and walked up to her.

"It's nice that we have the same class again, isn't it?" Riku asked.

"Yes, it is. Do you want to get to our classroom now?"

"Sure."

They held hands when they were walking to the classroom.

When the opened the door, they saw Satoshi sitting on a desk near the window. They took a step on and Takeshi popped up in front of them and put an arm around Daisuke's neck.

"Hey, Daisuke! It looks like we're all in the same class again like last time," Takeshi said while Daisuke was trying to slip away from the headlock.

Once Daisuke succeeded getting his head back, he rubbed his neck while Riku was yelling at Takeshi for what he just did.

"Takeshi, you can't just do that!"

"Well I have known him for over 12 years already."

They were done talking after a while and Daisuke went over to talk to Satoshi.

"Good morning, Satoshi. How are you?"

Satoshi looked up at Daisuke, "Good morning…I'm fine."

When the bell rang, everyone was in a seat near his or her friends. Some of the girls were brave enough to sit near Satoshi. Some of them were sitting across the room from his but still gazing at him from afar. The teacher (guy teacher) walked in followed by another student who was wearing their school uniform. This student was a girl and she had short, jet black hair that went down to her chin. Her bangs went down to her shoulder. She also had oval shaped glasses and behind those glasses were black eyes.

"Good morning, class. I now this is your first day here, and we have a new student who had been living in America for the past year," the teacher said.

She turned to face the class.

"Hello," she bowed, "My name is Chisato Rowe. Although I've been living in America for the past year, my native language is Japanese, so I can understand you just fine."

"Wow," Takeshi thought, "She's beautiful."

Chisato looked at Satoshi and smile at him when we was looking.

"Okay Chisato, why don't you sit next to…Satoshi back there?"

"Yes, sir."

She walked over to the seat next to Satoshi. As she walked past him, she gave him another glance.

For the first part of the class, the teacher was talking about how the class works and about his class rules. Then it was lunch. Even though it was high school, Satoshi was still walking around the school after he ate his bread. In the second half of lunch, Chisato caught up with Satoshi.

"Satoshi!" She said at she was walking next to him, "How are you doing?"

Just like in middle school, girls were following Satoshi.

"Geez, who is this girl! She's hitting on Satoshi when it's her first day here?" whispered a girl who was following Satoshi.

"Obviously they can do anything in America," replied another.

Satoshi looked at Chisato, "Do I…know you?"

"Oh of course you do. You don't recognize me?"

"I'm sorry, I don't."

"Well, if you get those girls away from you, I can tell you."

Satoshi looked back and the girls hid behind a wall. He faced Chisato and nodded his head. She ran upstairs to the roof of the school. Once Satoshi closed the door, he asked,

"So, how do you know me?"

Chisato looked back at him and said, "Boy, this disguise really works. Even you can't figure out it was me."

Satoshi just stared at her. She took off her glasses and smirked at Satoshi.

"If you still can't guess who I am, let me give you a few clues: I used to have long, dark brown hair; these are fake glasses, like yours; I haven't seen you for a long time…about a year or so; and I tricked you into kissing me somewhere around St. White's day," she said laughing at the last clue.

Satoshi didn't need any more clues, he already knew who she was.

"Kazuko…" came out of his mouth.

She smirked again and chuckled.

"…Bingo…"
