-Okies, I'm back after a longer delay than usual! Due to the fact that I had to marching band in the pouring rain, I have a cold! How crappy is that? I finally got around to sitting down in front of my computer and shake off the haze that day-quil has put me in. Non-drowsy my foot! Blasted medication! But here I am in a moment of caffeine induced clarity, so please… get ready and enjoy it all!

It was midnight the next day and completely unaware to Midorai, the Niwas were planning every way they could to catch this annoyance called Kitsune. This thief had just popped up and next thing you knew, she was stealing from Dark. As far as they were concerned, Midorai was fast asleep in her room, which she was.

Sitting stiffly at the base of the couch was Daisuke as he was looking off uncomfortably at some blank patch of the wall.

"I really don't think we should be doing this," he muttered off, fidgeting his hands around while Dark added various comments in his head.

"Well, what can you tell us about this Kitsune?" Kosuke added, keeping a reasonable grasp on the situation, while flipping through old books, looking for a reference to this new thief.

"She… She… She uses magic really freely…" Daisuke muttered off.

'So does Midorai, might I remind you!' Dark screamed out into the poor teen's head, making each word echo around dissonantly.

For a moment Kosuke rummaged around in an old box, pulling out various things, finally stopping on a piece of jewelry.

"Here," he exclaimed, placing a thin black necklace onto the table. It was like the ring and bracelet that he had procured earlier, with the design of a black feather wrapping around, the tips meeting with a small gap between.

"Is this…?" Daisuke trailed off as he could feel Dark nearly draw away from the item.

'Not another one of THOSE things…' the thief muttered off, trying his hardest to get to the farthest point in Daisuke's mind, as though it really made a difference.

'That's right, you haven't had good experiences with those, have you?' Daisuke asked, mock sympathy in his thoughts as he picked up it.

"It works on Dark and you… and Satoshi and Krad fine enough. It might just work on this Kitsune," Kosuke explained, and then shrugged his shoulders, "If not, we'll just go back to plan one and try to catch her otherwise!"

"Right, so what do you want me to do?" Daisuke asking, his finger curling around the necklace almost protectively, waiting for a plan.

"Dark's going to meet with her tomorrow night, same place as all the others. When she's not expecting place it on her," Emiko replied cheerfully.

"That's not really a plan…" Daisuke mumbled off, looking away somewhat annoyed. It was the same as just not planning at all!

"Well, Daisuke, it's not like there's really a good or a bad way to approach this. Just try it out tomorrow," Kosuke replied, getting up and patting his son on the shoulder.

"Right…" Daisuke yawned as he got up, stretching his stiff arms above his head and sighed. "G'night."

Walking up the stairs he passed by Midorai's room and as usual the door was closed. That was how it was supposed to be, he guessed. Were Kitsune and her really connected? Shaking his head and trying to clear out the thoughts in the back of his mind he stumbled into his bed, placing the necklace on the nightstand and fell back onto his pillow, his eyes staring up at the ceiling. Why him?

(THE NEXT NIGHT)

Midorai sighed, it was 10:30 and she should be leaving if she didn't want to be late…

After checking the door to make sure that it was indeed locked she placed a quick spell over it and got ready. Sitting down on the corner of the bed she sighed, blowing her bangs out of her eyes and finally let go of all of her thoughts and energy and just relaxed…

(Kitusne's POV)

I waited a few seconds for the burning in my body to stop before I opened my eyes. Groaning I pushed myself off the mattress and stretching. How long had it been since I had really gotten exercise? I couldn't say… couldn't really remember to tell the truth. A great deal taller the nightshirt that Midorai wore was far too tight and just a bit too short. Unbuttoning it I rummaged through the closet to find the outfit I wanted and hurriedly pulled it on, then snuck out the window and ran off into the night. Once glance at the pocket watch attached to the loop of my pants and I knew it. I was going to be late!

(3rd person POV)

For once Dark was early, sitting up against the bench they always met at he sighed, looking around bored while shoving his bangs out of his eyes.

"Where is she?" he muttered off, kicking at a clumping of icy snow with the toe of one black boot.

'Why are you asking me? This is too risky!' Daisuke replied, just as fed up as his other half.

"It's been thirteen minutes already!" Dark seemed to growl, "Damn, I should just go off and pick up chicks… this is a waste of my time!"

(Meanwhile with Kitsune…)

This was not good! She was already late and THIS had to happen.

What exactly is THIS? THIS is Kellan…

"Kitsune you know you can't hide from me!" Kellan's voice called out to her.

At this moment, Kitsune is hiding behind a dumpster, praying that he wouldn't look for her there while muttering a spell under her breath watching as every time it sputtered and died miserably.

"C'mon… C'mon!" she urged, pushing harder on the magic but it still didn't respond.

"There you are… thought you could attack me? You're to exhausted from all the fighting earlier, you can't push your tamer too far," the creepy version of Kellan informed her, closing his fingers around her neck and he began to choke her.

"Please… please Kellan…" Kitsune pleaded, her fingers desperately trying to peel his from her throat.

"No need to be so polite, I promise you I'll do it… your welcome…" he whispered to her.

"Your… tamer… is… try… ing… to…f..i..gh…t… b... a…ck!" Kitsune gasped out before her eyes dimmed and she passed out.

Immediately Kellan was surprised to watched Kitsune suddenly turn back to Midorai, who hung there limply from his hand…

When she woke up minutes later, he was gone and all that she was left with was a bruise on her neck.

"Kitsune…?" Midorai asked hoarsely, waiting for an answer. It didn't come.

"Kitsune?"

Still all she was left with was quiet. A cold fear gripped at her as she sat there in the middle of the alleyway completely alone. Her only companion gone. Finally the day overwhelmed her and she suddenly collapsed onto the concrete, her head colliding with the pavement painfully, keeping her out for a lot longer than usual, making Dark wait all the more…

-Sorry this chapter is so short! I promise the next chapter will be longer. It's so sad that Midorai changed so much from her original character design! I mean, originally she was… well… you guy probably don't want to know, eh? Onto reader responses!

-Miko102- Have I kept you waiting for too long?

-RainingHeart- Yes, Midorai's mother has gone off the deep end and is a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

-Timetill- Don't worry, you can figure it out, I hope! And if you think her mom is bad now… do you want me to kill her?
