A silent shape darts through the night, a blur due to the incredible speed at which it's moving. The figure takes off the ground and uses a tree to launch itself into the air, at which point wings that are a deep red sprout from its back and it flys speedily through the dark.
"Why did I let myself get caught up in that useless arguement, I'm running late!" the thief mumbles to himself.
He soars until he sees the spotlights around a building and he takes a detour in order to avoid them since he's not an attention seeker like his new rival, Dark Mousey. He lands on the museum roof and searches for the window that he knows is unlocked, once he finds it his wings dissolve back into his body. He prys it open carefully and looks around before slipping inside, landing silently in the middle of the room.
The Vailien Museum is simple enough to navigate for the thief, since he had taken the and soon he comes to a room that is completely laiden with hidden traps. With a few jumps that are impossible for any ordinary human, he lands safely across the room in a hallway that has only one door at the end of it. He sences that the object of power he wants is behind that door. He strides down the hall and quietly enters the room, his eyes now glued to the pedistol and the box on top of it.
-----Dark and Satoshi's POV (kinda, not 1st person)-------
The two unlikely allied people wait impatiantly as the time for thier prey's arrival approaches. They had finished laying the traps quite some time ago, and Satoshi has added a few things like spotlights in the room they're in to blind the thief and to see him clearly for the first time. The thief leaves calling cards and calls himself Bloodwing, and he is so illusive that even security cameras don't catch his image.
10 p.m. arrives with no disturbances anywhere. Dark shifts closer to the door, and Satoshi stands ready with the spotlight switch. After five more minutes the door opens silently, and the figure of Bloodwing slips into the room.
-----Bloodwing's POV-----
I walk quietly towards the pedistol, my sences on high alert for any more traps. This room was unlocked and there is no other exit that I can see, and I'm not truly sure why anyone would leave this item unguarded. I arrive at the pedistol and grab the box, looking it over before pressing certain spots on all four sides and the bottom. The box springs open and I take out a ring that I recognise at once to be one of the items that was made in ancent times with magic in mind. It has around the outside of it a simple triangle design, but the main attention drawer is the gold band around what looks to be a yellow-and-brown speckled eye with a slit for a pupil where the jewel would normally be on regual jewelry. I set the box back down on the pedistol, still open.
Suddenly the door behind me slams shut, and bright lights shine onto me from all directions. I'm blinded by this and I put my arm over my eyes and try to see beyond the lights. A pair of chuckles startle me, I had thought that I was alone in this room.
-----end POVing (for now)-----
Satoshi and Dark are stunned when Bloodwing slips in, not having heard any of their traps go off. They stay stunned as Bloodwing deftly picks up Geromie's Box and opens it without any apparent second thoughts. Dark is the first to snap out of it, and he slams the door closed and guards it, which wakes up Satoshi, who flips the spotlights on quickly. They finally get to lay thier eyes on the thief that has troubled them for awhile, and his appearance takes them both back into shock for a small while.
Bloodwing has put his arm over his eyes, that's the only part of him they couldn't see, but the rest of him is in plain view. His body build is like a combo of Dark's and Krad's; lith, strong, and sexy. He's wearing tight black pants and a black top that's tied behind his mid-back and his lower neck, black oriental shoes, and on his hip there is what looks like a match to the face mask, which looks like a slayers mask from ancient times in Japan and that has no apparent fastening. His hair is one of the purest blacks you could ever see, his skin is a milky moonlight color.
Dark and Satoshi get over the third shock and chuckle at the same time, at which Bloodwing visibly stiffens. They see him lift his arm slightly and stare in a completely wrong direction trying to see where their chuckles had come from. Satoshi calls out to the frozen thief.
"Well, it's good to finally see you, Bloodwing," he says sarcasticly.
"Who are you," Bloodwing says back with a trace of threat.
"We're the two who are tired of you stealing, not only art but my spotlight," Dark puts in before Satoshi can reply.
"Dark? You came here just to see me?" Humor and sarcasum positively drips from Bloodwing's voice on his reply.
Dark almost loses his temper, but Daisuke shouting at him a reminder that if he leaves his post Bloodwing might get way stops him dead in his tracks. Before he can think of anything witty to say back to Bloodwing, he feels Satoshi slip towards him.
"What do we do now?" Satoshi whispers to Dark.
"I want to strangle him, but I also want to see his eyes. Do you think you could dim the lights from over here in order to keep guard on the door while I trap him?" Dark whipers back.
"I could..." Satoshi mumbles.
"Then do it!" Dark hisses at him.
Satoshi gets the dimmer to the spotlights and sstands back beside Dark.
"You ready?" he whispers, already knowing the reply.
"Born that way," came Dark's voice from were he has moved to.
Satoshi twists the knob on the dimmer and the lights go to where they're regular room bright and Dark takes off towards the once again blinded thief who's blinking and trying to adjust to the sudden change. He grabs Bloodwing's wrists and pins him to the floor, much like how Satoshi had Dark himself on their first meeting. The obviously younger thief is trying to regain his breath and has his eyes closed, much to Dark's displeasure. Satoshi finally comes over and places a pair of handcuffs on Bloodwings wrists, at which Dark gives him a look that clearly says, "if they don't work on me, then why do you think they'd work on him", to which Satoshi just shrugs and looks back to Bloodwing's face, surprise coming over his own face. Dark looks back to Bloodwing's face as well, feeling shock well up within him. Bloodwing has his eyes open, looking at the handcuffs, and that's what has the two others in the fourth shock of the night. His eyes, though averted, are blood red and have slits for pupils. He finally looks back to his capturers, annoyance apparent in the stunning orbs, and they remain silent. Bloodwing speaks to them with an icy chill in his voice.
"What do you want with me, Dark? And who is your friend?"
"I've already told you, I want you to go out of buisness. And if he wanted you to know his name, he would've told you already. By the way, just what little trinket did you get out of the box?" Dark asks with a gleam in his eye.
"None of your buisness!" snaps Burst.
"Touchy are we? Well, I'll just have to see for myself then." he replies with an evil grin.
"Dark," warns Satoshi.
"Not now!" Dark throws at him.
"Don't you dare!" Bloodwing says, renewing his efforts to get free.
Dark carefully shifts so that he can hold Bloodwings wrists in one hand and deftly prys open the hand holding the treasure. Bloodwing shouts at Dark when he takes it and demands that he gives it back, which Dark ignores as he and Satoshi study the ring. They look at each other and then back to Bloodwing, both knowing exactly what the ring is.
"The Cat's Eye Ring? How did you know that it was in Geromie's Box? How did you know that it existed in the first place?" Satoshi asks.
"I could ask the same about how you know what it is, but I think I have a pretty good idea." Bloodwing replies.
Dark leans foward until he's about three inches from Bloodwing's face and starts to say something, but Bloodwing headbutts him and he reels back, both hands coming up to access the damage. Bloodwing takes advantage of this and smashes his fists into Dark's chest, sending him for a short flight. Bloodwing quickly leaps up and dispatches Satoshi, then quickly takes off the handcuffs, dashes to Dark, retrieves the ring, and starts for the door. A bolt of energy slams into the wall near his head, and he turns to see...
