"Shiro Hoshi…"

"'White Star'? How is it going to help us any?"

"It is powerful…it will literally rip them apart…" The deep voice paused, before continuing, "Yes…they will steal it as planned tomorrow evening just past Midnight. They won't know what hit them…"

A pendant was held out into a stream of light, covered by a small tarp wrapped around it.

The second voice sighed, the dark of the room partially shrouding them both from view.

"So…what do you need me for?"

The first voice laughed loudly, before answering, "Now, you sound like you won't be of use to me!" he paused once more, "What you need to do, is get them to do one simple thing for you…earn their trust…"

A young boy stepped into the small stream of light coming from the ceiling, wearing a serious look on his face.

"As you wish, master…" he mumbled, backing up, and turning from him, walking a few feet, before sprinting into a run.

A pair of turquoise eyes watched him sprint into the dark, before disappearing into the shadows as well.

-----------------------------------------------

"Aw man! I'm gonna be late again!"

"I'm sorry, Dai! I thought you had already left," a voice sounded from behind the red-head, as he dashed around his kitchen. He stopped momentarily, a piece of toast stuck in his mouth, backpack slung over his shoulder haphazardly. He sighed, then smiled kindly at his mother.

"It's okay mom…I should be old enough to know when I'm supposed to get up!" he replied, sprinting to the door to throw on his shoes and dashing out the door. "Bye!"

"Good-bye, Dai-Chan! Have a good day!" she yelled after him, as he sprinted to get to the trolley on time. He ran past many people, who yelled after him, "Ohayo(1)!" and "Gonna be late!" which he replied to both with a nod and 'Ohayo' as well. He stopped briefly at a cross section of street, then continued on, panting and running. He came upon the station, just as the ticket man was letting a little girl on. He looked up, then smiled.

"Ohayo, Daisuke!" he shouted, as the red-head came running up to him, handing him a ticket. "O-ohayo…" he muttered, breathing heavily and getting on, as the trolley started off up the slope. He made his way to a seat, before plopping down with his backpack at his feet, and calming his rapid heart-beat.

"Oh man…I was gonna be late again…" he said breathlessly.

/Well, you should get up on time, eh/ a voice said to him.

/Dark? What are you doing up/ Daisuke asked the phantom thief, surprise evident in his tone.

/You woke me up. Your stupid running around, and yelling out, 'I'm gonna be late!' stuff did it./ he replied, his tone slightly icey. Daiuske sweat dropped.

/I'm surprised…you can sleep through just about anything./ the teenager said, laughing slightly as he saw a mental image of Dark pouting.

/Shut up./ he growled, before disappearing to the back of Dai's subconscious. Daisuke winced slightly at his tone, before he vanished.

"What's with Dark I wonder…?" he questioned to himself.

"Niwa!" a female voice called out, as Daisuke turned his head; Risa Harada was waving franticly, as she made her way towards him. He blushed just a bit, as she smiled when he had returned her wave. "Hey Ni--oh!"

"Harada-san!" The clumsy brunette had tripped. "I've got you!" The people around them had moved out of the way, as Daisuke jumped forward, Risa landing on his stomach. "Oof!" She opened her eyes, and quickly got up, blushing a deep scarlet.

"Oh gomen (2), Niwa! I didn't mean to trip and land on you like that…" she murmured, looking down then back up. Determination etched into her features, she helped the young teen to his feet and bowed. Well, 'young' was an understatement; Daisuke was 16 now, and taller than ever before; yet he still had a young look about him.

"It's okay, Harada-san, it's crowded here so anyone could trip." he replied modestly, as he heard the call for the next stop. "Come on; this is our stop." The girl blushed a bit once more, before nodding and grabbing his hand, and pulling him outside to make their way to school. As soon as this action had taken place, he reached his free hand to the spot over his heart; it wasn't beating fast and he wasn't sweating.

"I wonder why though…" he said aloud, not realizing Risa was still dragging him to school by the hand. She stopped when she heard him mumbling.

"Did you say something, Niwa?" she asked curiously, letting his hand slide from hers.

"What? Oh, oh no, I didn't! I was just…never mind, we need to go or we'll be late." He sighed, grabbing her hand, again making way for school. The young brunette's heart skipped a beat at his forwardness, as she trailed behind him blushing.

-----------------------------------------------

"Class, settle down! Come on, summer break is soon, so settle down! SETTLE THE HECK DOWN!"

All the students stopped, all looking at the teacher. She looked around, then coughed and cleared her throat.

"Well now that I have your attention…we have a new student today." She said loudly, stepping aside to reveal a handsome young man, about 16 years of age. "Everyone, this is Sanzuke Hiro. Please be nice to him." He smiled shyly, and bowed, long blonde hair falling in front of his face.

"Hello everyone, I'm Sanzuke Hiro. I hope I can get along with everyone here." His voice was smooth, sultry, and rather cute. More then half the girls in the class swooned. The teacher sighed, and told him to pick a seat.

"What a pretty boy..." Sahara mumbled, giving off a visible sigh. Almost all the girls in the class stopped; he was going to pick a seat. 'So I HAVE to make sure he sits by me!' That was the thought that ran through their heads.

"Sanzuke-San(3), come sit here!" one girl shouted out bravely. He turned his gaze on her; deep green eyes met her's and she stopped short.

Another girl said shyly, "S-Sanzuke-San, you can sit by me..." Hiro smiled gently at the request; this caused the girl to fall faint. Sweeping his gaze around, he looked at all the empty seats. All were by raving fangirls...except one...

"I think I'll sit here..." he said suddenly, as all eyes were on him. Taking the bag he had off his shoulder, he set it down next to a seat.

"WHAT! YOU'RE GONNA SIT BY NIWA!" Hiro paied no attantion to their comment, but turned to look at the red-head.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you. I'm guessing you're Niwa Daisuke, right?" he asked calmly, green eyes lidded slightly in a relaxed state.

"Um...h-hai(4), I am. It's nice to meet you too." he replied. He looked up, and his eyes caught with Hiro's. The new boy smiled handsomly at him. This sent the fan girls into an, 'Omg-he-smiled-at-Niwa-and-not-me' mode. Natrual fangirl-ness.

"Well, I hope we can become good friends, Niwa-Kun. I hope we can become good friends..."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! -coughcough- I'm so fricken glad I got this up. Please review and let me know how this chapter was!
