A/N: Okay, so I decided to write up the next chapter, 'cause my intenet keeps going out for long periods of time, and when it does get back on, it's only on for a few minuets at the most. -sighes irritatedly- So enjoy the chapter while I go and complain to my parents that they need to switch internet service and phone service. -rawr- So enjoy.
P.S: I listened to "Your Horoscope For Today" by "Werid Al" It's such a funny song, I couldn't stop singing to it while I typed. XD So I slowed myself a tad. X3 Oh well. It's a really good song. I suggest listening to it while reading this chapter. I dunno why, it just seems good for it. XDD Just take my advice; you'll be pleased with the results. :)

"Every Star"
"A penny saved is a penny earned."
-My Dad (So what if I'm quoting my dad? He's a wise man. :3 And if you so DARE say anything about him that's less than a compliment, you'll die of 3rd degree burns, I assure you of that. -nod-)

Dark flew swiftly, occationaly cursing loudly at how late they were. Daisuke had buried himself away in the back of their minds, seemingly sulking. Dark could feel it; sad and depressing waves were radiating so strongly from Daisuke it almost affected Dark somewhat. Dark, however, did his best to ignore the boy, as he flew lower towards the museum. Sometimes avoiding the police forces was too easy, so he would take his risks.
"Hn..." he sneered, amythist eyes scanning the police below him. "They have no clue what's coming to them..."
'No...' a voice said in the back of his mind; immidetly he knew it was Daisuke. The poor boy, however, didn't sound anything like himself; his voice was a tad raspy, low and sad sounding.
"What?" the kaitou asked, stopping to listen to his other half.
'Don't...' he struggled with his words it seemed, as if he had forgotten how to talk. 'Don't...do it, Dark. Leave them be...and...get the...pendant...don't waste...any time...' As quietly as his voice had intterupted Dark's thoughts, it faded away just as, or more, quietly. The older male's brows knitted, but he said nothing as he obayed what his tamer had asked of him, flying to an unguarded part of the museum. Making his way in with ease, past the normal bits of traps and such, until he came upon a large marble pedistal, the pendant resting under a large glass cover, upon a silk pillow. The pillow was made of a fine silk; one half was a beautiful, and clean white. The other half was pitch black, a bit of shine reflecting off of it from the moonlight shining in the window above it.
"This must be it..." Dark murmured, approching the pendant carefully. "Shiro Hoshi...hm. Not as impressive as I thought." He had stopped, so he continued forward towards his goal, cautiously.
'WAIT DARK DON'T MOVE ANY CLOSER!' Daisuke's voice suddenly cut throught his concintration, as Dark stepped a bit closer; suddenly it seemed all Hell broke loose.
"What the Hell is going on?" Dark said; a high-pitched ringing noise suddenly filled both their ears. The theif fell to his knees, pressing his palms to his ears to try and drown out the noise; this was done in vein however. Suddenly he was lifted off the ground by his neck, someone with quite a strong grip choking him. Cracking open an eye, who, or what was more like it, surprised him greatly, the grip continuing to tighten despite his efforts to try and get away.
A large robot-looking figure with clawed hands, was the one responsible for the high-pitched ringing and the one choking the phantom theif.
'D-Dark! Dark, are you okay?' Daisuke's voice rang out in their minds; however as soon as he had opened the link to his other half, he lost his breath, unable to take in any air.
'Daisuke! Close...close the link now! Or you'll suffocate!' he said through the link. Daisuke nodded with difficulty, then cut off the link to his other half successfully, but regreted it immidetly. Dark had noone to help him! He was going to die...
'D-dark...' he wimpered, tears gathering at the corners of his eyes. Dark could feel the sadness well up in his tamer, and knew immidetly it was because of him.
"You...Goddamn...hunk of junk!" he gasped out; grabing hold on the arms of the metal creature, a black light began radiating from his hands. Suddenly the Robot stopped, its grip lessining, until it let go of the older male compleatly; Dark fell to a heap on the ground, then straitened up until he was sitting upright. This action was done with a bit of difficulty, as he took in large quantities of air all at once. He coughed and sputtered, trying to even out his breathing again. He looked up to where the robot was standing...correction. Where the robot had been standing. The damn thing dissapeared with out a trace.
'...where did it go, Dark?' Daiske asked timidly, then added, 'Are you alright? You're not seriously hurt or anything, right?'
Dark chuckled, standing up. "You worry too much. I'm fine; I heal faster than you humans." he said easily, approching the pedistal again. Taking off the glass with ease, he lifted the pendant off the pillow, replacing the glass. The pendant was wrapped in a loose cloth, but the shape undernieth it was unmistakeable; a five pointed star.
'Let's go Dark...we should really get out of here...' the red head said, sounding uneasy. Dark nodded, tucking the pendant away safely, before he flew out of the window towards home.
