Heh. Sorry for the short chappies. I'll try and make 'em longer.

Enjoy!

AUTHOR NOTE: It was pointed out to me that Riku would recognize Wiz, and then figure out the relationship between Daisuke and Dark, so I cut out that scene completely. So, now, Dark magically escaped xD (In other words, I'm too much of a lazy ass to think up a better explanation) Sorry for any confusion!

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

Dark! How could you let yourself get caught! Riku silently screamed. The older of the twins, Riku, had decided to go to the museum and Risa had dashed off who knows where. "Please Dark…" Riku pleaded as she raced towards the museum. There was a huge crowd mobbing the building. The shorthaired girl squirmed through the crowd, trying to get closer to the scene. To her horror, Dark was being escorted out of the building by numerous guards, and probably on to jail.

All of a sudden, someone from the within the crowd grabbed Riku by the arm and dragged her out of the group. She would've screamed on the top of her lungs, but the stranger covered her mouth with his hand. Finally, the two were in a secluded alley. Yanking away his hand, Riku hollered, "Let me go!"

"Shhh!"

Riku knew that voice. Her eyes widened, "Dark?"

The form nodded as he ridded himself of the disguise. Behind it was the handsome (a/n: hehe..) face of Dark.

"Dark! Wha? But you…tv…police.." Riku stuttered, at a loss of words. Dark only replied with a small grin. She buried herself against his chest, tugging on the black cloth, "Don't do that!" Dark brought an arm up and set it against Riku's back to console her.

Moments of silence passed until he teased," So you were worried about me?" The mood of the moment changed drastically, with Riku pulling away and smacking his arm before stomping off with a furious blush radiating of her cheeks, muttering 'don't flatter yourself'.

DAY THREE

The next day the brilliant escape of Dark was all over the news.

Not to mention the only thing that was talked about in school: Takeshi was ranting about being so close to capturing the thief, all of Dark's fan girls were relieved, some even celebrating, and Satoshi seemed in an especially bad mood. Even his self-proclaimed lovers…er.. fan girls were steering clear of him.

Hearing the name 'Dark' for the umpteenth time, the last period of the day was dismissed, giving permission for Riku to let out a relieved sigh. She hastily packed up her belongings before leaving the school.

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

Only a four more pictures to go…. Riku counted to herself as she picked up another photo which had been placed on her desk sometime earlier that day. That means four more days. She frowned when she felt a tinge of disappointment.

Why am I disappointed? It's not like I like him or anything…!

Yeah right. You know you love him; why else were you so upset when you thought he was captured? Another voice egged on.

What! I do not like that perv!

Sure…. The other voice mocked sarcastically.

"This is stupid," said Riku. Surprisingly, a voice answered back," What's stupid?" questioned Dark.

"WAH!" Riku yelled, springing back. A blush immediately tinted her cheeks, and I was just thinking about him… how ironic. The flustered girl straightened up and regained her posture," You scared me half to death!"

"Heh. Sorry," Dark began, "Thieves are supposed to be stealthy," he shrugged.

"Hey, Riku! What was today's homework, again?" Risa called out from beyond the closed door to the room where Riku and Dark were occupying. Riku's eyes widened to the size of saucers. Frantically, she hauled Dark into her closet and, just in time, closed the door behind her, "Riku?"

"Oh.. H-hi Risa! Didn't see you there," Riku stammered, trying to lean against the closet door in an unsuspicious manner.

"Hi.Do you remember today's homework?"

"Uh.. N-no, sorry. Maybe you can call s-someone to find out."

" 'Kay thanks anyway," Risa sighed, starting to walk out of the bedroom, "Are you feeling alright, Riku?" she asked, turning around.

"I'm fine… er.. Why do you ask?"

"Never mind, see you later!" Risa waved, closing the door shut.

Before releasing Dark, Risa stood there a few more seconds until she heard her sister's footsteps disappear. "That was close," Dark laughed lightly, the girl nodded in agreement. "We should get going before someone else comes," suggested the phantom thief, Riku nodded again.

Riku went to tell her family she was going to a friend's house while Dark whipped up a disguise. Soon, the two left the Harada household: "So… Where are we going today?" asked Riku offhandedly. Dark shrugged, "Movies?"

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

At the movie theater, Riku refused to watch any sappy movies, which left them with not many choices to pick from. After eliminating other options, the girl gulped when a horror film was the last candidate. Apparently, she wasn't exactly what you'd call a thrill seeker. But, keeping her pride intact, she didn't object.

Every time a scary part took place, Riku shrieked inwardly, hoping it didn't show on the outside. Of course, Dark detected this. A small smile appeared on his lips prior to when he lifted the smaller form onto his lap.

Typically, Riku would have slapped him hollering 'pervert' but this time it felt unusually consoling. Dark's arms folded over her shoulders and rested his in between Riku's shoulder and neck, in a position where his breath tickled her ear every time he exhaled. The girl was extremely grateful that the room was dim, so her burning face was hidden.

I might not be able to update soon, 'cause of school and stuff, but I'll try my best. Thank you guys for all the encouraging reviews!
