Daiki slowed his breathing, both out of fear and the fact he wanted to try to slip away quietly. But that voice... only one person had a voice that was so cold and simply bone-chilling, even with only a few words said. But Daiki knew she couldn't be here...

"Why don't you save me the trouble and come out on your own... I don't feel like fighting anyone tonight." The strange person spoke again, and Dark was being eerily quiet.

Dark? You there? Any ideas? Helllooo?

No response.

Daiki felt cold steel on his throat and gasped. He felt the other's breathe brush his ear.

"I asked you to save me the trouble, Phantom Thief Dark Mousy."

Moonlight spilling through the window above was the only weak light in the museum, and it reflected the other's eyes. Daiki felt the knife at his throat make a slight cut as the girl holding it tightened. He hadn't heard her. Had the loud footsteps before just been to throw him off?

No... it really couldn't be...

Daiki suddenly felt himself spiral downwards, and he no longer felt the threat of the knife. He recgonized the feeling, it had happened once before. Daiki was no longer in control of his body.

"Hmm... so this time around it's a girl, ne? Well, that's more to my liking... though I don't want to hit a girl," Dark laughed as the girl backed off, holding the knife carefully in front of her, seeing as she no longer had access to his throat. Dark had the height advantage.

Daiki finally got a clear view of his attacker as the cloud in front of the moon passed. He gasped... one of the few times he had hoped he had been wrong, he turned out to be completely correct.

The girl's silvery blue hair shined in the moon light, and her eyes were invisible behind large glasses, which completely reflected the moonlight. Still dressed in her school uniform, she stood straight, the knife held expertly in her left hand.

"Hmm... you cute, but what's with the school uniform? And showing up so quickly too... you barely gave me a fair head start," Daiki felt the girl tense up. Dark obviously didn't know who he was dealing with... yet, at the same time, he seemed to know more about it than Daiki.

"I'll give you one chance, Dark Mousy. Surrender peacefully, and no one will get hurt." As if to prove her point, the girl let the moonlight bounce off the knife.

"You're threatening me? Oh, the irony!" Dark laughed, a joke only he got. He was clearly making fun of the girl. Daiki was still speechless.

I-It's not possible... here? Why! How! Of all people...

"Well, I know why i'm here, but why aren't you standing outside with the rest of the bumbling idiots? Or more importantly, getting your beauty sleep like a good little girl?" Dark continued taunting her, just as Daiki had thought. This was all just a game to him. But for Daiki, it was no longer a laughing matter.

H-Hikari-san... why are you here!
