Sorry for the delay, a ton of things have been happening. Here be chapter three. Rhyme time! Sorry, I'm bored. And I've been eating chocolate pocky. Did you know that chocolate pocky has liquor in it? Seriously! It's the third named ingrediant on the box! ...No wonder I get so hyper after eating some...

"speech"

(my words)

p.s. I don't know much about Krad's coloring, so if I get something wrong, just tell me and don't get mad.

Last time...

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...

White. That is the first impression that Bloodwing has, a space in the room where there's nothing but white. Then he realizes that what he's seeing is a pair of white wings spread before a guy's body. The guy has blond hair, blue eyes, and is looking at Bloodwing in a manner that made him think of the phrase, "If looks could kill."

"Krad," comes the faint whisper from Bloodwing's mouth.

"So, you do know about us." says Krad, who apparently has very good hearing (if you consider the fact that they're on pretty much opposite ends of the room and that his name was whispered).

Bloodwing smirks and glances at Dark, who is now beside Krad, and puts the Cat's Eye Ring in a pouch on his side before continuing.

"I'm surprised that it is you who does not remember me. Then again, you two have had each other on the mind for forever, so it's not unbelievable that you'd forget me."

"What are you talking about," asks Dark.

"Let's see, there was Ancient Egypt, China, and that one short instance in Australia that we've met in past lives. You were fighting over some relic or another that I snached from under your noses. If you'll think for a second, you'll remember an item called the 'Angel Saffire'."

While the two "winged-ones" try to recall this information, Bloodwing slips out the door and manages to get on the roof before he hears them shouting at each other while racing to get to him before he can completely escape. Dark and Krad burst through the window, setting off the alarms, and see that Bloodwing is almost to the edge of the roof. They also watch as his wings materialize from his back and they quickly run and vault off the roof after him.

The spotlights hit them all as they fly, Bloodwing had forgotten about them and is momentaraly blinded before he rights himself and switches direction towards a part of the city close by. With the others close behind him, Bloodwing knows the only way he'll survive this night is if he can make it to a certain spot and transform, which will throw them off his trail completely.

The three fly through the night, making manuvers so as to throw attack or dodge them. As they come upon the edge of a park, Bloodwing folds his wings to his body and dives down, darting through the trees into a thicker part of the park.

"What does he think he's doing? We'll just head him off this way," says Dark.

"We have to follow his exact path, otherwise he may just land and stay low until we're gone."

They dive down and dart through the trees, all too late, for Bloodwing has already transformed. Dark and Krad separate in order to cover more ground, and Dark crashes into a woman in a part of the park closer to the sidewalk. He quickly checks to see if she's alright, and notices, to his surprise, that it's Luna. She looks up from her position on the ground with her mouth open, probably to curse out whoever had knocked her over, and freezes when she sees who it is.

"Are you the phantom thief, Dark? The one everyone around here talks about?" Luna asks while standing up.

"Yes. And who might you be, little angel? You must truly come from the heavens, for your beauty is not of this world." Dark says with his dashing grin.

"I'm fixing to be your executioner! I've heard everything about you from the fan club, and from Riku!" she snaps,"You're mighty lucky that you only bumped into me!"

"Yeow! Easy! I'm going now, bye!" Dark says while backing up before he takes off.

Luna watches Dark fly off, a small grin on her face. It has always been easy for her, and with these amaturs, it is almost too easy. She strides out of the park and walks to the bus stop, takes the bus to her house, enters her house, and opens the compartment in her room that she stores her treasures in. She takes the Cat's Eye Ring out of the pouch and places it in the spot that is reserved for it. Nothing happens. Fury comes onto her face when she realizes what has happened. Dark switched the ring with a fake!

"He is very lucky I didn't have time to look in the pouch before he crashed into me! Good thing I know his little secret, or I'd have to challenge him."

Yes folks! Some guessed right, some guessed wrong. Luna is Bloodwing! I'll explain in the next chapter. For now, review! Ja-ne!
