In the evening, after school, Riku noticed a small envelope lying on her desk. Printed on the front were the simple words:

Riku, meet me in the park.

Dark

The girl curiously opened up the envelope, her jaw dropping as she saw what lay inside: It was an embarrassing picture of herself that she hoped would have been burned long ago.

Riku stomped out of the house, clutching the picture in her fist, I'm going to give that pervert a piece of my mind, she cursed under her breath. The short haired girl searched throughout the park for the thief. She eventually gave up and sat down against a building's wall, still fuming. She gave the search one more try:

"DARK! Get your ass down here!" she barked.

A dark figure landed before her, "Hmm?"

Riku immediately sprang up, "It took you long enough!"

"What did you want me for?" Dark asked, his eyebrows raised suggestively. Riku was disgusted and her face turned sour; she retorted, "How'd you get this picture?" holding up the crumpled photograph.

"I have others, too," he grinned.

"Give them to me!"

"No."

Riku's blood boiled as she stood glaring at him; irritated by his calm and collected appearance.

"Fine, I'll make a deal."

Riku's eyebrows rose, "What is it?"

"I'll give the pictures back to you… If…"

"If, what?"

Dark flashed a smile," If you be my girlfriend for a week. I'll give a picture back for everyday."

Riku's widening eyes bulged out of their sockets," No way! Keep the pictures; I don't care!" she flailed, heeling around, back towards her house.

"Okay then. I'll just make sure the whole city sees them," Dark smirked.

The stubborn girl froze. She whirled around giving him a death glare," FINE," she spat. "I'm going home n—"she was abruptly stopped when Riku felt herself rising into the air. It finally registered in her head that Dark was carrying her, while in flight.

"Augh! Get me down!" Riku thrashed.

"Relax. I'm just bringing you home," he laughed. Riku frowned and crossed her arms along her chest, "I could have gotten home perfectly fine by walking."

After arriving at the Harada household, Riku had to shoo Dark away before trudging inside.

This was going to be a long week.

DAY ONE

Riku let out a groan when she woke up, remembering the past incidents. "Today's day one of the horrible week," she note Crankily, she dragged out of the bed and slipped into her school uniform.

After most of the morning routines, Riku found her twin sister brushing her hair," You brush your hair for practically an hour everyday," Riku scolded but then grimanced as she thought of whom Risa was prettying herself for. No one can find out about Dark's deal. The day actually went by smoothly, the whole time Riku didn't see the phantom thief even once. She was relieved to find another plain white envelope on her desk when she came back home. Inside was a photograph that Riku gladly tore up and discarded.

"I hope you didn't think it would be that easy," a voice suddenly snickered. The brown eyed girl reeled around, "Stop popping up everywhere!" Dark held his hands out as if to defend himself, "Okay, okay. Calm down, Riku."

"So, what are you here for?"

"You. You're going to help me steal a painting," he grinned.

"What! No! I'm not becoming a criminal like you!"

"Don't worry. You'll just be distracting some guards."

"Still! I'm not helping you steal some painting."

Dark gave her a 'remember the deal' look and Riku grumbled. "Fine, but you better not get me in trouble," she warned.

"Don't worry."

A couple of hours later….

"I'm going to catch him this time," Satoshi muttered to himself, already preparing for the scheduled thieving. He had already positioned many traps and guards around the building.

Meanwhile, Dark and Riku were hidden in an alley, which was only a few blocks away from the museum which held the soon-to-be-taken art. "Remember the plan?" Dark questioned for the umpteenth time. Riku nodded.

"Know how you're going to distract the guards also?"

"Hai," Thanks to Risa.

" It's time," Dark announced right before soaring into the dark night sky.

"I can't believe I'm doing this," Riku shook her head disapprovingly as she ran to the art museum. "First, divert the guard at the side entrance, and then make your way in." she recalled Dark instructing her. Careful not to attract attention to herself, she made her way over to the side entrance. Just as warned, there was a sentry standing guard. Using a similar tactic to Risa's, Riku, her twin, entered the building easily.

Things were going according to plan, until Riku met a familiar person who she had never expected to find here.
