Moonlight Disaster

Hi again! Sorry to readers that it took so long to update. My plot went on vacation and only came back when I was on vacation (which is now). Anyway, thanks to reviewers of the previous 2 chapters. I'm soooooo happy! (cry, cry). Anyway, read on!

Chapter 3: New Acquaintances part 2

The door slid open and the teacher walked in, so giving Daisuke no time to respond or even contemplate what the mysterious stranger had said.

"Class, as you have noticed, we have a new student with us. Please come up and introduce yourself," the teacher said, indicating the new girl.

The girl stood up and walked up to the front.

"Hello. My name is Shidori Chiyo. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

Her voice was like none other that the class had heard. It was melodious like small bells ringing in the breeze. Why did it seem so familiar? And why was it that there was a small nagging feeling as if trying to tell him that he was forgetting something?

Daisuke looked closely at Chiyo to see if he ha seen someone like her before to rest his irritating conscience and noticed something different about her. Her eyes… Something was weird…

"Well, tell us about your family and why you moved here."

" … I live alone. My mother and father are on business trips and I needed a place to stay so I came to one of their smaller properties here."

"Ok Shidori-san. You may return to your chosen seat." At this point, the teacher chalked the name up on the blackboard. "I'll keep her name up here for a bit so don't forget. Remember, make Shidori-san welcome."

"Yes miss," chorused the class.

"Well, then lets begin class."

--Hmmm, so what do ya think of Chiyo?--

It was lunch time and Daisuke had found a quiet spot away from the ruckus and noise of the likes of Saehara.

- Oh Shidori-san? Well, no comment, since I don't really know much about her. But mysterious in a way.-

--No not that!-- One could almost see Dark shaking his head agitatedly. --About what she said in class, before the teacher came in.--

-Eh? She said something? Oh yeah. Dunno, didn't hear it.-

--…--

-Dark?-

--Damn. You didn't hear it either? I was hoping you had.--

The redhead pretended to cock his head in mock surprise.

-You, the great Kaitou Dark, couldn't hear it? Wow, have you got your ears checked lately?-

He couldn't help it really. The result of poor 14 year olds who have to suffer at the hands of Dark daily was a need for a sort of revenge.

--Well excuuuuuuse me. Maybe it was because my hearing was blurred by your overly muffled ears. Ever consider that? I should be the one asking your 'no respect for elders' question. Better yet, where have you been getting your ears checked? --

-……….- Daisuke decided not to answer that. The last time he had got Dark from 'usual sarcasm' to 'overly rude, insulting, "I'm-pissed-off-now-wanna-piece-of-me?" and annoyed sarcasm', AND answered back, Dark had ranted on for hours on end about respect, rubbish, and a whole lot of other rubbish. Not to mention that his ears had a deafening sort of ringing to it afterwards.

--Anyway, why don't you get your butt over to where Chiyo is and ask? Can't hurt ya, now can it?--

The amount of tactfulness and obviousness was so large that it surprised Daisue that Dark could have thought of it.

-Good idea Dark!-

He got up and ran over to the classroom, where he had just recently seen Chiyo escape to from the mass of girls asking talking madly about how wonderful Dark was and so on and on. (Don't get them wrong, they were just trying to be friendly. But they expected to gain friendship by talking about Dark, therefore jumping to the conclusion that she would also be lovestruck about Dark, however they were incorrect therefore causing her to escape from the mass in to the classroom, resulting in Daisuke following her now and………you get the point.)

Entering the classroom, he quickly spotted Chiyo among the desks in the back row. He was about to call out to her when, it suddenly struck him what it was different about her eyes: her eyes were a darker shade of grey when she spoke to him earlier than like other times. Yes, even as he looked now, he could see that they were a rather wild grey, as if there was a storm raging inside her eyes, instead of the normal, placid shade.

Frowning in a confused way, he concentrated on Chiyo, wondering what she was doing in the shady depths of the classroom. She seemed to be furrowing her brows in concentration as she placed 2 fingers on each desk, one by one. Each time, she shook her head and muttered something almost impossible to hear. Even with his hearing of a thief kicking in (wonder where it went earlier?) he couldn't quite pick it up. After all, he was in the front and she in the back.

Nervously, Daisuke cleared his throat, causing Chiyo to suddenly look up.

"Uh…um…h-h-hello S-s-shidori-san." He started.

--Stop stuttering like that! She'll be onto us like a flash! -- Dark hissed, wishing oh so much that it was he in Daisuke's place.

-Shut up Dark-

"Uh… I'm Niwa Daisuke. I'm in your class. I, uh, just wanted to ask you…something?"

His sentence trailed off into a question as he shrank back from her steady gaze.

Chiyo straightened up and maintained her stare. As he thought, her eyes were now docile and no longer violent.

"Nice to meet you Niwa-kun."

"What was it you wanted to ask me?" she looked at him patiently, not even a hint of annoyance in her face.

"Well…it, uh, was…you see, what you said earlier, before class that is, you said something to me that I couldn't quite hear. I was just wondering if you could repeat it?"

Even to Daisuke the request sounded lame. Dark was practically holding a sign that said, 'This is the mind of lame-o Daisuke, only exception being me, the Phantom Thief Dark.'. However, Chiyo looked at him in confusion, until something seemed to hit her. She looked over him carefully, much like earlier only less eerie. Finally, she propped her chin on her hand, as if deep in thought before speaking.

"Niwa, hmmmm, Niwa…." And to Daisuke's surprise, she pulled out a pocket computer sort of thing, which he had only ever expected to see with Hiwatari-kun.

"Lets see… oh yes! Hmmmm…… so that's…" her voice dropped down to a small mumble as she read whatever was on that tiny little screen, seemingly oblivious to the gaping redhead.

"Uhhhhh…Shidori-san?" tried Daisuke but receiving no reply. He decided to wait so he started a mental conversation with Dark.

-Hey Dark-

-- I know I know. Weird isn't it? I mean, who else would have a pocket PC at school beside Commander?--

-…that's not the point…-

-- Oh? Then what is, my little friend?--

-What is she doing with that thing! Didn't you see how she reacted when she realized I was a Niwa? -

-- True. Wonder what she's doing. Peek over her shoulder and see.--

-But you can't just do that!-

-- Same as you can't just record personal information about someone without their permission.--

Daisuke was stumped. Dark did have a point there. But before he could take action, the mumbling stopped abruptly and Chiyo snapped the PC shut and turned to him.

"What I said earlier?" she asked calmly, yet her eyes seemed to glint mischievously, as if she knew something very interesting, much like Emiko when she found an interesting artwork for him to steal. Daisuke being Daisuke, he had a pretty good inkling what it might be. Also…

--Boy has she got slow reaction or what? -- muttered Dark, speaking for them both.

"Well, you said something but I didn't hear it so could you please say it again?"

She closed her eyes for a minute, before revealing them to be once again a stormy grey. She smiled sweetly, and said,

"Nothing of importance. But I was sure that you, one of the Niwa's, would have heard."

Just then, the bell rang out shrilly and she smiled once again before heading over to her own desk. As she passed him, a piece of paper fluttered out, landing at his feet. He picked it up and read it.

Four full circles before the end.

An evil presence we can sense.

Hide we do behind the darkness.

Waiting and waiting, day and night,

To bring peace they must unite.

Unite, and stop the end.

Well! That was one long chapter (stretches). It took me a couple of days to write cause the ideas are just coming in to my mind as I write. Hmmmmm…. This chappie was completely based on Daisuke, Dark and "the new girl". Must add the other people back in next time. Yes and this is a cliffie, sort of.

Thanks to reviewers Angel Born of Darkness and cutewizu13! Your reviews are a great inspiration! And especially thankyou to cutewizu13 for answering my little question and also reviewing both chapters! Thankyou very much!
